BACKGROUND: Although we have gained much information about leadinduced organ damage, the effect of blood lead level on T cell subgroup is yet to be determined.OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of blood lead level on T cell subgroup of children, and the association of T cell subgroup with threshold limit value of blood lead level.DESIGN: Comparative observation.SETTING: The Institute of Molecular Microorganism, Maternity and Child Care Hospital, Shanxi Provincial Children Hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Sixty children, (32 boys and 28 girls), aged 3-6 years with a mean of (4.5±1.5) years old, were selected from the suburbs of Taiyuan city between May 2003 and October 2003. Informed consents were obtained from all their guardians. The enrolled children according to their blood lead levels were assigned into three groups, 13 in Group Ⅰ with blood lead level ≥ 0.48 μmol/L, 20 in Group 2 with lead level ≥ 0.24 μmol/L but ＜ 0.48 μmoL/L and 27 in Group 3 with lead level ＜ 0.24 μmol/L.METHODS: Blood lead level and expression of T cell subgroup were measured with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy and immunofluorescence methods respectively. Student t test was used in data analysis, and linear correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between blood lead level and expression of T cell subgroup.level and expression of T cell subgroup.pression of CD3 and ratio of CD4 to CD8 were lower in Group 1 (lead level ≥0.48 μmol/L) than Group 3 (lead level ＜ 0.24 μmol/L) (t=3.27,blood lead level showed had significant inverse correlation with CD3 expression and the ratio of CD4 to CD8(r=-0.689,-0.674,P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: A blood lead level ≥ 0.48 μmol/L, is shown to significantly decrease the expression of CD3 and ratio of CD4 to CD8 in peripheral blood, which may impair the children's immunological function.

Objective Summarize the experience in the surgical treatment of multiple original colon cancer in aged patients. Methods The retrospective analysis was performed in the 46 cases of multiple original colon cancer in aged patients in our hospital from August 1955 to May 2000. Results The 46 cases of multiple original colon cancer in aged patients account for 7.6% (46/608) of the total cases of colon cancer in patients in the same period. There were 26 cases of the male and 20 cases of the female. 30 cases were colon cancer with tumors from other organs. "The different time cancer" could be found 31 years later. The follow-up rate was 100%. The survival rates for 3,5,10,15,20 years were 71.1%(27/38), 63.6%(21/33), 43.3%(13/30), 28.6%(8/28) and 16.0%(4/25) respectively. In this study, we found that the survival rate of the group was higher than that of the aged patients suffering colon cancer in the same period of time. Conclusions The number of multiple original colon cancer in aged patients has been increased in the decade. The incidence was 43.5% (20/46) in the study. With the development of society, both doctors and patients have improved their knowledge about multiple original carcinomas in aged patients. The positive rate of early diagnosis was promoted to a high level, especially in the monitor and treatment of per operation. Choosing the energetic operation, we will acquire the better therapeutic efficacy for treatment of multiple original cancer in aged patients.

OBJECTIVETo seek the optimum treatment for patients with primary gastric non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and factors associated with prognosis.

METHODSA retrospective study was conducted on 157 primary gastric non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients who had received operation for 45 years.

RESULTSThe X-ray diagnosis rate was 39.4% before operation. The diagnosis rate by gastroscopy was 52.7%. Among the 157 patients, 32 belonged to stage I(E), 40 stage II(E), 29 stage III(E), and 56 stage IV(E). All of the patients were received chemotherapy or radiation. The 3-, 5-, 10-, 15-year survival rates were 51.1% (69/135), 42.3% (55/130), 20.7% (23/111), and 13.5% (14/104).

CONCLUSIONSThe 3-, 5-year survival rates in stage I(E) and stage II(E) were 2 to 5 times higher than those in stage III(E) and IV(E) (P < 0.01). The 3-, 5-year survival rates of primary gastric non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were 60.2% (65/108) and 50.0% (52/104) respectively. The prognosis was better than the 5-year survival rate of gastric cancer patients with D(2) lymphodenectomy (33.3%). Early diagnosis and treatment are effective to prevent complications, enhance quality of patient's life, and prolong the survival.

Currently, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been widely accepted by surgery and anesthesiology all over the world, and applied in colorectal surgery, gynecology, liver surgery, breast surgery, urology and spinal surgery. But ERAS are rarely used in the field of interventional bronchoscopy. In recent years, more and more researchers have begun to explore the application of ERAS in bronchoscopic interventional therapy. This article discussed that preoperative preparation, anesthesia, intraoperative operation, postoperative observation and other aspects can influence interventional bronchoscopy.
