Objective To investigate the effects of cochlear implantation combined with subtotal resection of temporal bone in treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy of temporal bone necrosis. Methods A prospective study method was used, and 76 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy of temporal bone necrosis from February 2013 to October 2015 in our hospital for diagnosis and treatment were selected. According to the open control paired principle,the patients were equally divided into observation group and control group, each of 38 cases. Both groups received subtotal temporal bone resection in the treatment, and the observation group received cochlear implant therapy. The surgical effect and hearing improvement of two groups were observed. Results All patients successfully completed surgery. In the observation group, the patients showed normal reactions to intraoperative electrode detection and postoperative electrode impedance, without electrode slippage. There were no statistical differences between the two groups in postoperative pneumothorax and other complication (P>0.05). The sound intensity level of hearing test in postoperative 1 month in the observation group and control group were (21.23±5.22) dB and (28.42±4.19) dB, which was significantly lower than that in the preoperative 1d [(38.24 ±4.98) dB and (38.12 ±5.00) dB], with significantly statistical difference (P<0.05). The postoperative 1 month of hearing and speech score in the observation group were (87.24 ±2.98) points and (82.10 ±3.91) points respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(73.02 ±5.30) points and (71.84 ±3.11) points] (P<0.05). The two groups of postoperative 1 months of hearing and speech scores were also significantly higher than those in the preoperative 1 d [observation group: (34.29±3.49) points and (32.10±5.30) points; control group: (33.20±4.14) points and (31.98±4.92) points] (P<0.05). Conclusion Cochlear implantation combined with subtotal resection of temporal bone in treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy of temporal bone necrosis shows high safety and success rate, which can promote the improvement of hearing and speech ability, and be widely used in clinic.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of chemotherapy for esophageal cancer in the elderly. Methods: A total of 74 patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer in our hospital were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group. The control group was treated with radiotherapy alone, while the observation group was treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The efficacy, adverse reactions and 1 and 2-year survival were observed. Results:The recently response rate was 86.5% in the observation group, while the control group was 62.2% (x2=5.37, P<0.05). The disease control rate was 100.0% in the observation group, while it was 3.8% in the control group. The differences were significant (x2=4.53,P<0.05). The adverse reactions in the two groups were not significantly different. With 34 patients in the observation group followed up, the 1-year survival rate was 73.5%, 2-year survival rate was 55.9%, while it was 40.0% and 25.9% in 35 patients that followed up in the control group. The differences were statistically significant (x2=6.58,x2=5.32;P<0.05).Conclusion: Concurrent chemotherapy for esophageal cancer in the elderly has a significant effect. Compared with radiotherapy alone, it can significantly increase the 1, 2-year survival rate, and does not significantly increase the adverse reactions.

Background and purpose:It was reported that many microRNAs (miRNAs) have close relation with carcinomas. miR-31 (microRNA-31) shows abnormal change in numerous cancers. China is one of the most high-risk areas of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of miR-31 in ESCC, and analyze the relationship of its expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis. Methods:The expression of miR-31 in KYSE410, EC1 and EC9706 cell lines, as well as 81 cases of ESCC tissues and adjacent normal esophageal tissues were detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The result was combined with clinical and follow-up data and statistical analysis was conducted. Results: MiR-31 was up-expression in 3 cell lines and 75.31% of the ESCC tissues. miR-31 up-expression was positively related to severer lymph node metastasis (P=0.043), deeper invasion of tumors (P=0.002) and advanced pathological stage (P=0.027). There was no relationship of miR-31 with other clinicopathological features (P>0.05). Furthermore, high expression of miR-31 was associated with poor progression-free survival (PFS) in 81 ESCC patients by Kaplan-Meier analysis (P=0.014) and by multivariate Cox analysis (P=0.021). Conclusion:Our results identiifed miR-31 may be a new diagnostic criteria and prognostic biomarker for ESCC.

Objective To investigate the optimal dose of oxycodone for severe pain in cancer patients so as to try to alleviate the suffering rapidly.Methods Totally 135 cases with severe pain in terminal cancer patients were randomly divided into groups A,B,and C,45 cases in each group.Groups A,B,and C were treated with oxycodone hydrochloride sustained-release tablets 20 ～ 140 mg/d,150 ～ 290 mg/d,300 ～ 640 mg/d,respectively.Pain relief and incidence of adverse reactions were evaluated 2 weeks later.Results Pain intensity scores (numerical rating scale,NRS) in 3 groups dropped with statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).Pain relief rates in groups B and C were statistically significant compared to group A (P ＜ 0.05).Quality of life score (appetite,mental status,sleep,daily activities,and interpersonal life) in group C had statistical significance compared to groups A and B (P ＜ 0.05).Group C had slightly higher incidence of adverse reactions than that of groups A and B without significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Large dose and extra large dose of oxycodone hydrochloride sustained-release tablets can effectively relieve severe pain in advanced cancer patients.Extra large dosage can improve patient's quality of life in spite of the higher incidence of adverse reactions,and patients can still be tolerated well.

Objective To determine the relationship between early postoperative delirium (EPD) and prognosis in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Methods This was a prospective cohort study consisted of 698 patients admitted to postanesthesia care unit, undergoing non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia, between June and December 2009. The risk factors affecting prognosis were collected. All the patients were assessed for the development of delirium by experienced research staff using Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Unit. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the occurrence of EPD: EPD group and no EPD (NEPD) group. The postoperative hospital length of stay was made as a major prognostic indicator. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the risk factors affecting prognosis. Results Of the 698 patients, 197 (28.2%) developed EPD. The postoperative hospital length of stay was prolonged in group EPD compared with group NEPD. The Cox proportional hazard regression model analysis indicated that EPD was an independent risk factor affecting prognosis. Conclusion EPD is an independent risk factor affecting prognosis in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between cardiomyopathy-associated 5 (CMYAS) gene rs10043986 polymorphism and schizophrenia in Uygur Chinese population.Methods The SNP rs10043986 in CMYA5 gene was genotyped in 325 patients with schizophrenia and 183 normal controls using TaqMan technology.The symptoms of schizophrenia were assessed by positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS).The association of the loci with schizophrenia,age of onset,clinical symptom was analyzed.Results The allelic and genotypic distributions in rs10043986 between patients with schizophrenia (C,T allele:91.5％,8.5％ ; C/C,C/T,T/T genotypes:83.4％,16.3％,0.3％) and normal controls (C,T allele:96.4％,3.6％ ; C/C,C/T,T/T genotypes:92.9％,7.1％,0) had statistically significance after analysis (x2 =9.038,P=0.003 ; x2 =9.417,P=0.009).Via analysis of stratification by gender and age at onset.The results showed that both allele (x2=11.812,P=0.001) and genotype (x2=12.769,P=0.001) frequency in rs10043986 with patients were significantly different in females,but neither in males (all P＞0.05).Allelic or genotypic distributions between adult cases and controls had statistically significance (x2=8.219,P=0.004; x2=8.379,P=0.015),but there were not significant differences between adolescent cases and controls (all P＞ 0.05).Furthermore,we also notice that the PANSS scores of patients between Genotype C/C and C/T had no statistically significance (allP＞0.05).Conclusion The results reveal that T allele at CMYA5 rs10043986 may be confer risk for susceptibility of female and adult schizophrenia in Uygur Chinese population,and that rs 10043986 polymorphism may not significantly associate with symptoms severity of schizophrenia.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the C270T polymorphism brain-derived neurotrophic factor and susceptibility of schizophrenia using meta-analysis. Methods A retrieval was performed on the case control study on the C270T polymorphism of the patients with schizophrenia. The meta-analysis was applied for investigating and summarizing the relationship between C270T polymorphism and schizophrenia. Subgroups were divided according to races. Results A total of 16 studies with 3874 patients and 4309 controls were included. The frequencies of C/T allele and genotype CC/(CT+TT) were associated with schizophrenia (all P<0.01) with OR 1.65 [95%CI (1.26, 2.16)] and 1.71 [95%CI (1.27, 2.30)], respectively. The association of C/T allele and genotype CC/(CT+TT) with schizophrenia was signif-icant in Asian subgroup (P<0.01), with OR 1.89 [95%CI (1.30, 2.75)] and 1.97 [95%CI (1.29, 3.03)], but not in Cauca-sian subgroup (all P=0.05). Conclusion The C270T polymorphism of brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene might con-tribute to the genetic susceptibility of schizophrenia in Asian population.
