Objective: To study the clinical manifestations of the head and neck angiosarcoma and the re-lationship of the staging with clinical treatment and prognosis. Methods: The clinical data of 21 patients with head and neck angiosarcoma treated in our hospital between January 1993 and January 2008 were retro-spectively analyzed. By studying the medical records of all patients and reviewing the related literatures, we discussed the clinical manifestations of these patients and the relationship of staging with clinical treatment and prognosis of head and neck angiosarcoma based on soft tissue sarcoma staging of AJCC2002' 6th. SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical analysis. We calculated the survival rate using Kaplan-Meier method and compared the survival curves using log rank test. Results: Among these 21 cases, 10 were treat-ed with non-combined treatment, and the other 11 cases were treated with combined treatment. There were 6 stage Ⅰ cases, 3 stage Ⅱ cases, 1 stage Ⅲ case, and 11 stage Ⅳ cases. The 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year total sur-vival rates were 72.2%, 41.3%, 27.5% and 13.8%, respectively. The average time of recurrence or metastasis was 4 months. Twelve cases had local recurrence (accounting for 57.1%), and 11 cases had distant metasta-sis (accounting for 52.4%). The metastatic sites included lymph node in 5 cases, lung in 4 cases, liver in 1 case, and bone in 1 case. Different treatment modalities (χ~2=8.31, P=0.004) and tumor staging (χ~2=9.74, P=0.002) were prognostic factors. Conclusion: There are no unified treatment strategies for angiosarcoma of the head and the neck. The overall prognosis is still not ideal. Biological treatment has been applied to clinical practice. Preoperative combined treatment has positive results. Tumor staging is an important factor affecting the prognosis. Surgery-based combined treatment can improve patient survival.

Objective To study the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of mixed thyroid malignant tumors. Methods Clinical data of 7 cases with merged different histological types of thyroid malignant tumor treated from January 1977 to December 2006 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Merged different histologic types of thyroid malignant tumor accounted for 0. 14% of all thyroid malignant tumors treated during this period. Preoperative imaging and laboratory data had no specific value in the diagnosis of this merged different histologic types of thyroid malignant tumors. Radical resection in combination of hormonal therapy and 131I radiotherapy achieved a satisfactory result, though thyroid malignant tumor combined with thyroid cancer usually predict a poor prognosis. Conclusions Merged different histologic types of thyroid malignant tumor is a rare clinical entity, with the pathogenesis being obscure and no consensus of opinion on its nomenclature. The prognosis depends on the highest ~ade among an individual group of malignant tumors.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between hyperreflective dots (HRD) and lipid levels and systemic inflammatory factors in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) or central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).Methods:A cross-sectional clinical study. From December 2016 to June 2020, 118 eyes of 118 patients with retinal vein occlusion diagnosed in the Department of Ophthalmology, Central Theater Command Hospital of People's Liberation Army were included in the study. Among them, 67 cases of BRVO and 51 cases of CRVO were divided into CRVO group and BRVO group accordingly. Peripheral venous blood was drawn from the patients within 3 days after the eye examination to detect the percentage of neutrophils, monocytes, hypersensitive C-reactive protein (CRP), total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and lipoprotein(a). The ratio of monocytes to high-density lipoprotein (MHR) was also calculated. The 3D OCT-2000 instrument from Topcon (Japan) was used to measure the central retinal thickness (CRT) and the numbers of HRD. According to the different distribution position, HRD is divided into inner retina HRD, outer retina HRD, and total retina HRD.The independent sample t test was used to compare the continuous variables of the two groups, and the χ2 test was used to compare the rates. The correlation between HRD counts and blood lipid levels and peripheral blood inflammation indicators in patients with different types of RVO was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis. Results:The average age of patients in the BRVO group and CRVO group were 60.1±9.5 and 53.6±15.7 years, respectively; the prevalence of hypertension was 53.7% (36/67) and 24.5% (12/51), respectively. Comparison of age ( t=2.634) and prevalence of hypertension ( χ2=11.298) between the two groups showed statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Gender ( χ2=2.000), course of disease ( t=-1.101), prevalence of diabetes ( χ2=1.315), eye category ( χ2=1.742), baseline visual acuity ( t=1.792), intraocular pressure ( t=0.708), CRT ( t=1.318), and peripheral blood include the percentage of neutrophils, the absolute number of monocytes, CRP, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, lipoprotein(a), MHR ( t=-0.559, 1.126, 0.579, 1.299, -0.134, 0.556, 1.230, -0.267, 0.483), the difference was not statistically significant. Correlation analysis showed that the HRD counts in the outer retina of BRVO patients were positively correlated with total cholesterol ( r=0.289, P=0.036); the HRD in the inner retina and total HRD counts of CRVO patients were positively correlated with CRP ( r=0.406, 0.343; P=0.004, 0.014). There was no correlation between HRD counts and percentage of neutrophils, absolute number of monocytes, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, lipoprotein(a), and MHR ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The number of HRD is related to the blood lipid level in BRVO patients and CRP (an inflammatory index) in CRVO patients.
