Objective:To report the characteristic of clinical manifestation and cell immunophenotype in cases with primary extra-nodular non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma(PE-NHL) in head and neck.Methods.One hundred and fifteen patients with PE-NHL in head and neck were reviewed,which were diagnosed by pathology in the pas ten years.The features of clinical manifestation and cell immunophenotype in these patients wre analyzed.Results:Twenty to forty years old was most common (42.0%) ages range in the group of patients with PE-NHL.Nasal cavity was the most commonly involved site (36.6%,42/115), next the PE-NHL respectively occurred in nasopharynx(26.1%,30/115),tonsilla(20.1%,24/115) and oral cavity (8.7%,10/115).Only in a few cases the PE-NHL occurred in oroharynx,laryngopharynx and larynx.The patients mainly showed the symptoms of primary lesion located.The lump,ulcer or both signs were observed on primary position,the lump was the most common sign.Cell immunophenotype resulte displayed 51.2% of the PE-NHL originating from T cells,48.8% originating from B cells.Most of nasal PE-NHL originated from T cells ,while most of tonsilla and oral PE-NHL originated from B cells.About half of nasopharyngeal PE-NHL originated from T cells,another half origiated from B cells.Conclusion:The PE-NHL in head and neck mostly occurred in nasal cavity ,then occurred in nasopharynx,tonsilla and oral cavity.The clinical manifestation in the patients with the PE-NHL lacked characteristic symptoms.Sometimes these PE-NHL were confused with other malignant tumours in primary position,which were easily made a misdiagnosis.Therefore discrimination and diagnosis have to be made by pathology and immunohistochemistry.

Objective: To compare the advantage of tympanogram, Morimitsu's method and Tubotymanoaerodynamic graphy (TTAG) in the confirmation of patulous eustachian tube syndrome. Method :Twenty ears with patulous eustachian tube syndrome diagnosed clinically were selected. The tympanogram, Morimitsu's method and TTAG were examined in these ears and the positive rate was estimated. Result:The confirmation of patulous eustachian tube syndrome by tympanogram,Morimitsu's method and TTAG was 5,12 and 20 ears in 20 ears with patulous eustachian tube syndrome. The positive rate was 25%,60% and 100% respectively. TTAG also was useful in following-up. Conclusion:TTAG is an important method for diagnosis and following-up in patulous eustachian tube syndrome.

Clinical characteristics were analyzed retrospectively in a patient with empty sella and adrenal adenoma with regard to the elaborated diagnosis and treatment.Although empty sella syndrome alone was common,clinical combination with adrenal adenoma was rarely reported.It was difficult to diagnose due to complex symptoms and hormone levels.This case could help increase awareness of the disease and accumulate the experience in diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To construct two DNA vaccines encoding Gag-Env fusion protein and Tat-Rev-Integrase(C-half)-Vif-Nef fusion protein derived from the first HIV-1 CRF01_AE isolate(AE2f) in Chi-na and to evaluate the immunogenicity in mice. Methods Two DNA vaccines were constructed by inserting the codon optimized and synthesized gag-env fusion gene and tat-rev-integrase(c-half)-vif-nef fusion gene de-rived from AE2f into mammalian expression vector pDRVISV1. 0, the generated DNA vaccines were desig-nated as pSVAE/GE and pSVAE/TRIVN, respectively, and their in vitro expression were determined by Western blot with transfected 293T cells. Mice were i. m. immunized with either pDRVI1.0 as mock control, pSVAE/GE or pSYAE/TRIVN for 4 times at two-week interval. Two weeks following the final im-munization, cellular responses to pool of HIV-1 Env, Gag, Tat, Rev, Intergrase, Vif and Nef peptides were evaluated by ELISPOT assay. Results The construction of DNA vaccine pSVAE/GE and pSVAE/TRIVN was validated by restriction enzyme digestion and bidirectional sequencing. Western blot showed a specific band at molecular mass 220×10~3 in lane of pSVAE/GE transfeeted 293T cell and a specific band at 95×10~3 in the lane of pSVAE/TRIVN. Both DNA vaccines mounted significant specific T cell responses with (3010 ± 566) SFC/10~6 splenocytes for DNA vaccine pSV AE/GE and (948 ± 737) SFC/10~6 spleno-cytes for DNA vaccine pSVAE/TRIVN, whereas the mock control of pDRVISV1.0 only raised marginal T cell responses. Conclusion Both pSVAE/GE and pSVAE/TRIVN were capable of expressing the inserted fusion immunogen genes and able to elicit vigorous cellular immune responses, therefore, these DNA vac-cines are highly immunogenic.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of domestic olmesartan in treatment of mild to moderate essential hypertension in comparison with losartan. Methods Two hundred and thirty-seven patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension were enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, multi-center, paralleded and active-controlled trial, and were divided into olmesartan group (olmesartan 20 mg + losartan 50 mg placebo) and losartan group (losartan 50 mg + olmesartan 20 mg placebo) for a 8-week therapy. Four weeks after treatment, dosages of drugs were doubled in patients with seated diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa). All patients were followed up every two weeks, and the efficacy and adverse effects were observed. Another 32 patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension were enrolled and given olmesartan only, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was performed before and 8 weeks after treatment. Results Compared with those before treatment, both systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure significantly decreased in olmesartan group and losartan group 8 weeks after treatment [(15.2 ±13.3) mmHg and (19.5 ±11.8) mmHg, respectively for systolic blood pressure (P <0.001); (15.9 ±7.48) mmHg and (16.2 ± 5.95) mmHg, respectively for diastolic blood pressure (P < 0.01) ], while there was no significant difference between these two groups (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in total effective rate and incidence of adverse effect between these two groups (86.9% vs 93.7% and 7.63% vs 5.88% , P > 0.05) . Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring demonstrated that trough to peak ratios of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were 86% and 71%, respectively. Conclusion Domestic olmesaratan provides an effective, safe and long action in the treatment of mild to moderate essential hypertension.

Objective To evaluate the cancer risk among the inhabitants around a certain nuclear facility of Gansu Province after operation for nearly 50 years.Methods Specially developed forms were filled by countryside doctors in the villages 30 km on the leeward or at the lower reaches of Yumen City,Gansu Province where a nuclear facility had operated for nearly 50 years,to register the relevant data of those who died of solid cancer and leukemia during the period from 1 January 2004 to 31 December 2008 based on the relevant data and household survey.A town 90 km away from the nuclear facility with 4181 people were regarded as control area.Results The crude mortality and standardized mortality rate(SMR) of cancer were 95.51×10-5 and 93.56×10-5.respectively.The crude mortality and SMR of leukemia were 2.44×10-05 and 2.22×10-05, respectively.and the crude mortality and SMR of cancer were 106.88×10-05, and 89.31×10-5, respectively.The crude mortality and SMR of leukemia were 2.44×10-05 and 2.22×10-5, respectively in the investigated area,and the crude mortality of leukemia was 3.56×10-5 (only one leukemia cage died)in the control area in the same time.The cancer and leukemia mortality rates of the investigated area were similar to those of control area.Conclusions Nuclear facility does not significantly increase the cancer mortality among the residents living nearby.
