Objective: To observe the effects on morphology of middle turbinate and olfaction in trasnasal endoscopic sinus surgery and conventional technique in surgery in chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps (stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ)。 Methods: Two groups patients (85 cases, 163 sites) from September 1979 to September 1999 were examined by coronal CT scans of sinus, nasal endoscopy and olfctory test preoperative and postoperative. Of these patients, 52 cases (101 sites) were operated by transnasal endoscopic sinus surgery, 33 cases (62 sites) were operated by conventional technique in surgery respectively. Management of middle turbinate was divided into reserving and resecting two way. Results: In group of endoscopic sinus surgeries (52 cases, 101 sites), the rates of cure, improved and ineffective were 64.4% (65/101), 29.7%(30/101), 5.9%(6/101) respectively by following 6 months; and returning to normal rates of middle turbinate were 63.1% (41/65), 30.0% (9/30), 0.0% (0/6) respectively; and the returning to normal rates of olfaction were 66.2% (43/65), 36.7% (11/30),0.0%(0/6) respectively; the returning to normal of middle turbinate were 47.4%( 9/19),3.3%(1/13),0.0%(0/13) respectively; the returning to mormal rates of olfaction were 63.2%(12/19),23.3%(7/30),0.0%(0/13) respectively.Conclusion: Endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps can solve ostiomeatal complex anomalism more effectively and raise the cure rates of sinusitis (stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ) than conventional technique in surgery. The morphology middle turbinate and olfaction returned to normal affected directly sinusitis curative rate.

Objective To analyze the clinical prevalence,distributed characteristic of different ages,clinical characteristics and pathogenic factors of chronic abdominal pain in children.Methods A database in which outpa-tient and inpatient of abdominal pain during 2 -14 years old were collected from January 2011 to December 2015 was established by utilizing HIS system.A statistical analysis was made in age,sex,onset time,time of duration,mesenteric lymph node status and surgical situation.Results A total of 13 256 times abdominalgia were enrolled from January 2011 to December 2015.7 390 patients were diagnosed as unexplained abdominal pain,including 1 005 patients (13.59%)were diagnosed as chronic abdominal pain.A male -to -female ratio was 1.06:1.The average age was 6 years(ranged 2 -14 years).The average age of the boys was (6.02 ±2.87)years,which of the girls was (5.93 ± 2.79)years,there was no statistically significant difference between them(t =0.47,P =0.63).The peak age of chro-nic abdominal pain in children was mainly from 3 to 7 years old.The incidence decreased with age increased.The average time of duration was (16.70 ±11.69)months,that of the boys was (17.39 ±12.12)months,and that of the girls was (15.96 ±11.19)months,there was statistically significant difference between them(t =1.93,P =0.05). Mesenteric lymphadenectasis was detected in 731 patients(72.74%).The age constituent ratio decreased with age increased.The peak age of the prevalence coincided with peak age of the mesenteric lymphadenectasis.21 patients underwent surgical procedures,organic lesions accounted for 2.08%.Conclusion The peak age of the prevalence of chronic abdominal pain in children is mainly from 3 to 7 years old.Potential organic causes are rarely linked to chronic abdominal pain in children.Most of them are functional abdominal pain.The appendix and mesenteric lymphadenecta-sis might play an important role in children with chronic abdominal pain.The therapeutic aim of CAP in children is to make the children back to their normal life by exclude the organic causes and relieve their pain.The natural history of chronic abdominal pain suggests that symptoms remit spontaneously with increasing age.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects,adverse effects,and patterns of failure of elective irradiation of lymphatic drainage area (extended-field) and involved-field irradiation in three-dimensional radiotherapy (3DRT) in patients with esophageal cancer via a Meta-analysis.Methods The databases Wanfang Data,CNKI,VIP,CBM,PubMed,Embase,and Cochrane Library were searched to collect the controlled clinical trials on extended-field irradiation and involved-field irradiation in 3DRT in patients with esophageal cancer.Stata 11.0 was used for data analysis.The odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval was used to describe the differences between two groups.Results According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,a total of 12 controlled clinical trials involving 1 095 patients with esophageal cancer were included in this meta-analysis.The results of the meta-analysis showed that compared with the involved-field irradiation group,the extended-field irradiation group had a significantly reduced rate of out-field failure in patients with esophageal cancer who received 3DRT (OR=3.727,P=0.007),but showed significantly higher rates of grade ≥ 3 acute radiation pneumonitis and radiation esophagitis (acute radiation pneumonitis:OR =0.348,P =0.001;radiation esophagitis:OR =0.385,P =0.000).The two groups had similar 1-,2-,and 3-year local control rate and overall survival rate (local control rate:OR=0.966/0.946/0.732,P=0.837/0.781/0.098;overall survival rate:OR=0.952/1.149/0.768,P=0.756/0.422/0.120),as well as a similar distant metastasis rate (OR=0.986,P=0.937).Conclusions Compared with involved-field irradiation,extended-field irradiation can reduce the rate of out-field failure in patients with esophageal cancer who receive 3DRT.However,it does not have significant advantages in local control rate and overall survival rate and has an increased incidence rate of adverse effects.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and analyze relevant prognostic factors of simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiation therapy ( SIB-IMRT ) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods A total of 101 patients diagnosed with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma received SIB-IMRT from 2009 to 2015. The prescribed dose of PTV was 5040 cGy/28 times ( 180 cGy/time) and the dose for planning gross tumor volume (PGTV) was 6020 cGy/28 times (215 cGy/time) or 6160 cGy/28 times ( 220 cGy/time) simultaneously. The total treatment time was 5. 5 weeks ( once a day, 5 times a week).The adverse events, mode of treatment failure,l-,3-and 5-year local control (LC) and overall survival ( OS) rates were observed. Results The quantity of patients who completed the 1-,3-and 5-year follow-up was 101, 84 and 45, respectively. The 1-,3-and 5-year LC rates were 81. 6%,70. 4% and 68. 4%, respectively. The 1-, 3-and 5-year OS rates were 72. 3%, 49. 4% and 45. 2%, respectively. The median survival time was 36 months. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that clinical staging ( stageⅠ/Ⅱ/Ⅲ) and tumor response ( complete remission/ partial remission/no remission ) were the prognostic factors of OS (P=0. 016,0. 000,0. 005,0. 000).There were no significant differences in the LC and OS between the two groups of 215 cGy and 220 cGy (P=0. 283,0. 951).The incidence rates of grade 1,2,3 acute pneumonitis were 10. 9%(11/101),2. 0%(2/101) and 2. 0%(2/101), respectively. The incidence rates of grade 1, 2, 3 acute esophagitis were 63. 4%( 64/101 ) , 10. 9%( 11/101 ) and 4. 0%( 4/101 ) , respectively. No acute esophageal perforation or hemorrhage occurred. Five patients experienced late pneumonitis ( two died) . One case developed late lemostenosis, two cases developed esophageal perforation and hemorrhage, and two patients experienced esophageal hemorrhage. The patients treated with a fractionated dose of 220 cGy had a higher incidence rate of acute pneumonitis and upper gastrointestinal adverse reactions than those receiving 215 cGy ( P= 0. 062, 0. 024 ) . The local failure and recurrence accounted for 62. 5% of all treatment-related failures. Conclusions SIB-IMRT yields high long-term clinical efficacy and tolerable adverse events in the treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Compared with the dose of 215 cGy, the fractionated dose of 220 cGy fails to improve LC and OS rates, whereas enhances the risk of adverse events. The clinical staging and short-term clinical efficacy are the prognostic factors of survival rate.
