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.

Objective To explore the epidemiological character of elderly burn patients and to provide the experience of prevention and treatment.Methods The retrospective study method was used,and totals of 531 elderly patients with burn from January 2002 to December 2010 in two hospitals were selected.Cases information such as demographics,clinical diagnosis,treatments,causes of injury,mortality rate and causes of death since admission and so on was recorded and analysed,then,the epidemiological character was summarized and the prevention and treatment were proposed.Results Among 531 patients with burn,the average age was 72.86,the rate of burn in home was 72.5％ and in accident was 16.70％.The clinical cure rate was 82.11％and the mortality rate was 2.33％.The proportion of the elderly burn patients account for the total admitted patients in the same period was 5.13％ in 2002 and 5.64％ in 2010,and the average age of elderly burn patients was higher from 72.53 years old in 2002 to 73.58 years old in 2010.Conclusions The proportion of the elderly burn patients account for total admitted patients in the same period was higher as well as the average age of patients from 2002 to 2010.We should pay more attention to the prevention and education for the burn in home as the main cause of elderly burn patients is the home burn.

Objective To investigate the effect of salvia mihiorrhiza on spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury after surgical treatment in patients with cervical canal stenosis. Methods Retrospective analysis of 64 cases had cervical canal stenosis in the last 5 years in our hospital. Sixty-four cases were randomly divided into the salvia mihiorrhiza group(31 cases)and the control group(33 cases). The therapeutic effect was assessed using JOA grade system. Results In the salvia mihiorrhiza group,the JOA average score was 8. 8 ±2. 6 before surgical treatment, after two weeks of surgical treatment it was 13. 7 ± 2. 4. The JOA improvement ratio was (61. 5 ± 2. 9) % . In the control group,the JOA average score was 9. 1 ±2. 2 before surgical treatment,after two weeks of surgical treatment it was 13. 4 ± 2. 3. The JOA improvement ratio was (60. 5 ± 2.2)% .The JOA improvement ratio in the salvia mihiorrhiza group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0. 05) . Conclusions Salvia mihiorrhiza has protective effect on spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury.

OBJECTIVE: To find out the rules of therapeutic methods, formulas and medicines of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for primary liver cancer (PLC). METHODS: The frequencies of treatments and medicines of TCM in 978 pieces of documents concerning PLC were analyzed. RESULTS: Among the 165 therapeutic methods, 277 formulas and 459 kinds of herbs, the methods for activating blood circulation, the formulas for regulating qi-flowing and the herbs for invigorating qi are the most commonly used. CONCLUSION: Therapeutic methods such as invigorating qi, regulating qi-flowing and activating blood circulation are the main choices for PLC, and the methods such as clearing heat, removing dampness and nourishing yin are used as supplements.
