Objective To explore prognostic factors of the uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC).Methods Twenty eight patients with UPSC in Cancer Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from January 2002 to August 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Prognostic factors were analyzed by univariate analysis.Results Twenty eight cases of UPSC with 6.3％ occurrence in the endometrial carcinoma admitted in the same period,including 14 cases of staging Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ,and 14 cases of staging Ⅲ.The univariate analysis showed that lymph-node metastasis and operative-pathological staging were significantly associated with the prognosis (P ＜ 0.05),but were not associated with the menopausal,postoperative treatment,operation style,deep myometrial invasion,cervical involvement,and annex invasion (P ＞ 0.05).Two cases of Ia-staging without myometrial infiltration and without added postoperative treatment were still alive.Conclusions Operative-pathological staging and retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy were independently prognostic factors of UPSC.The Ia-staging without myometrial infiltration might be without added postoperative treatment.

Objective To evaluate the correlation of inflammatory severity between appendiceal ori-fice inflammation(AOI)and ulcerative colitis(UC). Methods A retrospective analysis of the patients who were diagnosed as UC was conducted to investigate the correlation of the severity of inflammation between AOI and UC by linear trend test. Results The detective rate of UC during the above period was 2. 3%(991/ 42 928),with the patient number of 991.Appendiceal orifice observation did not perform in 45 cases due to patients reasons. In 946 patients,260 cases were diagnosed as having AOI,which accounted for 27. 5%of the total cases examined.AOI positive rates were significantly different between groups based on endoscopic severity standard(χ2 = 27. 39,P<0. 05),which was similar in moderate and severe group[30. 2%(109/ 361) VS 29. 8%(147/ 493),P>0. 0125],both significantly higher than that in mild group[4. 3%(4/ 92),P<0. 0125]. In linear regression analysis,regression coefficient was 0. 32,χ2return = 29. 48(P<0. 05)and χ 2partial =31. 66(P<0. 05),which proved a positive correlation between the two drawn existed but not a simple linear relationship. Conclusion AOI is a sign in some active UC patients. Its severity of inflammation can reflect the degree of inflammation in UC,which may offer a terminal point when treating a slice of UC individuals and giving a signal of its relapse.
