Objective To discuss the treatment of cervical cancer in different stages.Methods The treat- ment of 42 cases of cervical cancer in this hospital from January 2000 to December 2005 was analysed,and clinical treatment modalities were analysed too.Results(1)A total of 6 cases of uterine carcinoma in situ received hysterec- tomy plus bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.(2)A total of 26 cases was inⅠb-Ⅱa stage,of which 15 cases with cer- vical cancer were treated with a simple radical hysterectomy;6 cases of cervical cancer were radiotherapied after radi- cal hysterectomy;7 cases of cervical cancer received radical hysterectomy plus radiotherapy.(3)A total of 10ⅡbⅣstage eases selected radiotherapy and chemotherapy.Conclusion Different treatment should be applied in differ- ent stages of cervical cancer,and the choice for treatment is important for patients' quality of life after treatment. Comprehensive treatment can improve the survival of patients with cervical carcinoma.

Objective To propose a new classification scheme of otitis media (OM). Methods By reviewing current internat ional classification systems of OM, we analyzed their disadvantages and the prog ress made in histopathologic studies of OM, then worked out a new classification scheme to apply it to clinic. Results In current internati onal classification systems of OM, those apparent clinical signs are regarded as main standards of classification. Their main disadvantage is that these signs c annot very well indicate the condition of pathologic and functional changes of i mportant hearing structure areas. We proposed a “Three-stage Scheme” of OM cl assification and applied in 1 160 cases of OM. The accuracy rate of diagnosis w as 82.4% in 348 cases of early-stage OM, 98.4% in 696 cases of chronic OM, and 95.2% in 116 cases of OM sequela. Conclusion The “Three-s tage Scheme” system is scientific, simple and practical. Its accuracy rate of d iagnosis is very high. It plays a guiding role in diagnosis and treatment of OM.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor nimesulide lone and combined with cisplatin on tumor growth,and Ki67 and Caspase-3 expression in lung cancer xenografts in nude mice. Methods The mice were randomly divided into 4 groups:the control group,the nimesulide group,the cisplatin group and the nimesulide combined with cisplatin group. A549 cells were injected into BALB/c nude mice subcutaneously.On the 21st day after treatment tumor tissues were collected,and the xenografts growth were observed. The expression of Ki67 and Caspase-3 were detected by immunohistochemical method.ResultsNimesulide combined with cisplatin could significantly inhibited the xenografts growth compared with nimesulide or cisplatin.The tumor inhibition rate was 44.33％ in the nimesulide group,53.61％ in the cisplatin group and 80.41％ in the nimesulide combined with cisplatin group (P ＜ 0.05).Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the expression rates of Caspase-3 was significantly increased in the nimesulide combined with cisplatin group (67.43 ± 23.57 ) ％,the cisplatin group (48.40 ± 20.37 ) ％,and the nimesulide group (38.65 ± 15.37)％,compared with the control group (27.63 ± 13.03)％ (P ＜ 0.05).The expression rate of Caspase-3 was significantly increased in the nimesulide combined with cisplatin group compared with the nimesulide group or the cisplatin group (P ＜ 0.05 ).The expression rate of Ki67 was significantly decreased in the nimesulide group combined with cisplatin group (24.34 ± 15.90)％,the cisplatin group (40.85 ± 22.47)％ and the nimesulide group (53.33 ± 19.67)％ compared with the control group ( 80.43 ± 16.88 ) ％ ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The expression of Ki67 was significantly decreased in the nimesulide combined with cisplatin group compared with the nimesulide group or the cisplatin group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Nimesulide can inhibit human lung cancer A549 cells xenografts in nude mice growth,Nimesulide enhanced the inhibitory effects of cisplatin.The mechanism may be related to inhibition of tumor cell Ki-67 expression,increased expression of Caspase-3,inhibition of tumor cell proliferation,and inducing tumor cell apoptosis.

Invasion and metastasis are critical determinants on cancer morbidity.Genes and molecules participating in these steps have been demonstrated as potential prognostic factors.Growth factors and their receptors,cell-cycle regulators,cell-adhesion molecules and m trix-degrading enzymes are potentially used as prognostic factors.However,increased understandings for molecular mechanisms underlying carcinogenesis and its implementation in the treatment of gastric cancers have recently been focused on the development and incorporation of targeted agents with chemotherapy.

Objective To evaluate the value of serum tumor markers in diagnosis of over 80 years old patients with colorectal cancer.Methods Serum CA199,CA242 and CEA of 68 cases senile patients with colorectal cancer and 35 cases senile patients with benign large intestinal diseases were detected by ELISA.Results Serum levels of CA199,CA242 and CEA in patients with colorectal cancer were (37.95 ± 15.95 ) U/ml,( 50.08 ± 24.20 ) U/ml,( 22.34 ± 17.35 ) μg/L respectively and were significantly higher than that in patients with benign large intestinal diseases CA199 ( 10.73 ± 6.27 ) U/ml,CA242 ( 8.00 ± 3.52 ) U/ml,CEA(2.32 ± 1.01 )μg/L.In addition,the level of these three markers was increased with the progress of colorectal cancer and the sensitivity of diagnosis was related with the stages of colorectal cancer.Parallel combined testing methods increased the diagnostic sensitivity to 83.6％,and serial combined testing increased the diagnostic specificity to 88.7 ％.Conclusions Serum tumor markers showed certain values in the diagnosis of the senile patients with colorectal carcinoma.Furthermore,the combined determination of tumor markers is helpful for early diagnosis of colorectal cancer and increases the sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing of colorectal carcinoma.

Cystatin C (Cys C) is used to evaluate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal function and thus reflects changes in endogenous marker. Cys C is not affected by gender, muscle mass, malignancy and its production rate is usually constant, making it one of ideal markes of GFR. This article focuses on clinical application and research of Cys C in a variety of renal diseases, especially in renal dysfunction at an early stage of clinical significance.

Objective To analyze the relevance between the nursing students′ sense of life meaning and death attitudes. Methods 181 nursing students were surveyed with the Purpose In Life Test (PIL) and Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R), and then did the relevant statistical analysis. Results The nursing undergraduates′overall average of PIL was (91.45 ± 10.54) points, and the neutral acceptance death attitude got the highest scores which were 24.14 ± 5.78, while escape acceptance got the lowest scores which were 11.76 ± 3.61. And there was a significant negative correlation (r =-0.257, P <0.05) between the sense of life meaning and death attitudes. Conclusions There was a significant negative correlation between the sense of life meaning and death attitudes, the more sense of life meaning was, the more positive attitudes toward death would be. So it′s of great importance to provide life-and-death education to improve the nursing students′sense of life meaning and death attitudes.
