PURPOSE 10 cases of testicle embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) were treated in the Cancer Hospital of Shanghai Medical University from 1971 to 1988. All cases were treated by orchiectomy followed by retroperitoneal node dissection and three of them did not have lymph node metastases. Methods 2 cases were given postoperative irradiation, 7 cases received adjuvant chemotherapy. Results The 2-. 5-year overall survival were 50% and 30% respectively. Conclusion This report analyzes the prognosis of adult testicle embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. The treatment is a combination of surgery、 chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Intensive chemotherapy should be administered. The prognosis of RMS in adult seems to be worse than in childhood. Patients with negative lymph nodes has better outcome than those with node metastases. Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection after radical inguinal orchiectomy is unnecessary in patients without CT evidence of nodal involvement.

Objective To explore the value of echocardiography in the diagnosis of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) in children.Methods The echocardiographic images of 14 patients with ALCAPA confirmed by operation and 18 patients with endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) diagnosed by clinical were compared and analyzed.Results Both ALCAPA and EFE exhibited obvious dilated left ventricle,decreased left ventricular systolic function,thick endocardium and mitral regurgitation of different degree.The former additionally showed dilated right coronary artery(RCA) with normal origin,left coronary artery(LCA) emerging from the root or wall of the pulmonary artery(PA),the retrograde flow into PA in LCA and abundant collateral vessels in myocardium.However the later exhibited normal diameter of LCA and RCA and no collateral vessels.Conclusions Color Doppler echocardiography not only demonstrates left ventricular systolic function,endocardium,mitrial regurgitation and collateral vessels in myocardium,but also shows the origination and courses of LCA clearly,which provide exact informations to diagnose ALCAPA.The echocardiography can be used as a powerful tool of ALCAPA diagnosis and preoperative assessment.

Objective To assess the application of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography for occluding the rupture of aortic sinus aneurysm ( RASA ) by cardiac interventional therapy via mini thoracotomy . Methods After anesthesia transesophageal echocardiography ( TEE ) was performed in patients with RASA to confirm or correct primary diagnosis from transthoracic echocardiography( TTE) and to predict the operative effect . During the operation the guide wire and Sheath pipe were accurately guided into rupture mouth of aortic sinus aneurysm by TEE . After the operation ,the position of closure and the function of aortic valve need to check carefully . Results Collection of 38 patients with aortic sinus aneurysm rupture ,20 patients who can be received interventional therapy were select by TEE . Sixteen patients accepted interventional treatment successfully ,including 8 cases with non‐coronary sinus tumor to break into the right atrium ,5 cases with non‐coronary sinus tumor to break into the right ventricle ,and 3 cases with right coronary sinus tumor to break into the right ventricular outflow tract ( 3 cases) . The patients who received intervention treatment successfully had stable vital signs ,and no obvious changes of heart cavity structure and cardiac function in normal . Postoperative multiple reexamination ,all patients showed the normal closure position ,aortic valve opening and closing movement . And no stenosis and reflux signal ,no residual shunt was detected . Conclusions TEE can confirm or correct primary diagnosis of TTE before the operation and guide the surgery operator to place the closure correctly during the operation and evaluate the effect of the treatment after the operation .

Objective To investigate the ability of decision-making under risk condition in benign epilepsy children with centrotemporal spikes (BECT).Method Seventy-eight BECT patients and seventyfive healthycontrols were studied by Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) with inexplicit probability and Game of Dice Test (GDT) with explicit probability.Results (1) There was a significant difference in IGT task scores between the two group (t=-2.56,P＜0.05).The total number of advantageous choices in IGT were lower in BECT group (49.35±5.38) than that in healthy control group (52.24±6.23).BECT group (-1.41 ± 10.60) performed worse on task than healthy control group (4.43±11.88),and the difference was statistically significant (t=-3.21,P＜0.05).The control group scored higher on Blockl,Block4 and Block5 than that of BECT group (P＜0.05).(2) There was no significant difference between the BECT group (4.42±7.74) and the control group(5.49±6.81) in the GDT test scores (t=-0.91,P=0.37).(3) Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between the age,age of onset,education,seizure frequency and onset duration and the score of IGT and GDT (r =-0.091-0.274,all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion There is no significant decision-making disability in children with BECT under the condition of certain risk probability,while there is significant impairment under the condition of uncertain risk probability.The decision-making disability may be associated with impaired frontal lobe function.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of moxibustion on body sub-health fatigue state.Methods 120 cases of body sub-health patients were randomly divided into A,B,C three groups,with 40 cases in each group.Group A was treated with moxibustion,group B was treated with acupuncture therapy,and group C (control group) did not receive any measure of treatments.Fatigue scale (FS) was adopted to the three groups respectively for measuring physical fatigue score,mental fatigue score and total fatigue score before and after the treatment.Treatment efficacy was evaluated and analyzed after three weeks of continuous treatment.Results The total score of fatigue scale was 6.10 ± 2.47、6.82± 2.36、and 10.10±2.66 respectively in group A,group B and group C.Compared with group C,the difference in group A and group B was statistically significant (P＜0.01).Compared with group B,the difference in group A was not statistically significant (P＞0.05) ; The Physical fatigue points of group A,B,C was 2.46± 2.06、3.60 ± 2.24 and 5.03 ± 2.66 respectively.Compared with C group,the difference in group A and group B was statistically significant (P＜0.01).Compared with group B,the difference in group A was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusions Moxibustion and acupuncture can effectively improve patients total body sub-health state of fatigue.Moxibustion treatment showed better effects in alleviating physical fatigue,

Objective To evaluate the value of echocardiography method for diagnosis of the downward displacement of the posterior leaflet of tricuspid valve with apical right heart two chamber view (AP-RH-2CV). Methods Rotating the probe clockwise from apical four chamber view(AP-4CV) to AP-RH-2CV at the septial and posterior leaflet of tricuspid valve, the shape, moving and position of the posterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve were observed by displaying the degree of downward displacement of the septial and posterior leaflet of tricuspid valve. The location of the orifice of tricuspid regurgitation was examined by color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI). Results In 15 patients with Ebstein's anomaly from the AP-RH-2CV, the downward displacement of posterior leaflet of tricuspid valve was clearly observed at the AP-RH-2CV. These results of echocardiography were confirmed by surgery except one ease missing out mild downward displacement of the anterior leaflet of tricuspid valve. Moreover, all 15 patients showed the obvious downward displacement of the location of the orifice of tricuspid regurgitation from AP-RH-2CV by CDFI. Conclusions The AP-RH-2CV is an ideal view in diagnosis of the downward displacement of the posterior leaflet of tricuspid valve by echocardiography. The downward displacement of the location of the orifice of tricuspid regurgitation is a critical character for diagnosis of the downward displacement of the posterior leaflet of tricuspid valve by CDFI.

Objective To assess the consistency of four standardized cystatin C particle-enhanced turbidimetric assay (PETIA) and one particle-enhanced nephelometric immunoassay (PENIA) measurement systems Methods Performance verification test was conducted according to CLSI EP 15-A2 and EP9-A2. Fourty serum samples in comparative test were obtained from the remaining serum samples of outpatients in Peking Union Medical College Hospital in March 2013.Fourty serum samples were tested on Olympus AU5400 automatic biochemical analyzer ( four PETIA Cys C reagents:Shanghai Jingyuan Co ., Ltd, Beijing Leadman Biochemistry Co ., Ltd, Beijing Strong Biotechnologies , Maker Biotechnology in Sichuan , and labelled as A, B, C, D respectively) and PENIA N Latex Cys C measurement system on Siemens BNⅡ(labelled as E).Correlation analysis were performed among four PETIA methods one PENIA method Differences of each detection system were compared in the medical decision level 1,2,3,4 mg/L.The reference material ERM-DA471/IFCC was measured by five systems and bias ( percentage bias ) was calculate for each system.Results Results of systems A, B, C, D, E were 1.29(0.89-2.43), 1.30 (0.96-2.59), 1.22(0.90-2.44), 1.27(0.96-2.47), 1.14(0.82-2.05)mg/L.Chart shows bias among these five systems was small when Cys C concentration was less than 4mg/L.PETIA method A, B, C, D correlated with their mean value well , with the average deviation from their mean value ( percent deviation) at -0.017 -0.031 mg/L ( -3.1%-2.1%), and all were less than allowed bias from the biological variation (3.4%).The deviation of PETIA method A, B, C, D with their mean value in medical decision level at -0.176 -0.178 mg/L.Systems A, B, C, D correlated well with the result of PENIA method system E , and the mean deviation ( percent deviation ) was at 0.278 -0.326 mg/L ( 12.6%-18.5%) , and the deviation ( percent deviation ) in the medical decision level 0.055 -1.079 mg/L (5.51%-26.98%).Bias of PETIA method A, B, C, D Cys C system measuringERM -DA471/IFCC ranged from 0.22 to 0.39 mg/L ( 3.9%-7.0%) , which exceeded the allowable range of the reference material target value, and were larger than the allowable bias from biological variation (3.4%).Bias ( percent ) of PENIA method system E was -0.1 mg/L ( -1.7%) , within the allowable range of ERM-DA471/IFCC target value .Conclusions The consistency of four assesed PETIA Cys C reagents was relatively ideal, and improved markably after being traced to ERM-DA471/IFCC.Besides, the results of PETIA were higher than those of PENIA .Bias among these five systems was small when Cys C concentration was less than 4 mg/L, and the bias became larger in higher Cys C concentration.
