Objective To investigate the effieacy and safety of intravenous itraconazole for the treatment of invasive fungal infection(IFI)in patients with hematological disease or undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT).MethodsSix hundred and sixty-six patients with above mentioned conditions and diagnosed as IFI from January.2007 to July,2007 were enrolled.Intravenous itraconazole was administered at a dose of200 nag every 12 hours for 2 days and followed by 200 mg every 24 hours.Patients were then switched to oral itraconazole according to the clinical situation Responses were determined on the basis of clinical and microbiological criteria.Results The probability of defervescence Was 69.8%and the total response rates among related to itraconazole were the proven.probable and possible IFI patients were 73.7%.68.1%and 68.2%(P=0.380).Adverse effects were found in 58 patients (8.7%).which were mainly mild to medium reversible dysfunction of liver and gastrointestinal tract, Conclusion Itraconazole is an effective and safe antifungal agent for patients with hematological disease or undergoing HSCT and is suitable for empirical antifungal therapy.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of arterial interventional chemotherapy on bulky cervical cancer. Methods One hundred and twenty-six patients with bulky cervical cancer were randomly divided into two groups. Arterial interventional chemotherapy group(n =74, C gronp), and radiotherapy group(n =52 R group). Patients in C group underwent internal iliac arterial infusion chemotherapy by using Seldinger technique. The chemotherapy regimens of cervical squamous cell carcinoma were prescribed including cisplatin and BLM, and cervical adenocarcinoma were prescribed including cisplatin and ADM and VCR. Patients in R group were only given radiotherapy Ir192 high-dose rate intracavitary radiotherapy was performed with A point dose at 24 Gy. Both groups of patients were followed up after two weeks. Results The tumor regression rate of C group was 93.24 %, significantly higher than 71.15 % in R group(P 0.05). The 3-year recurrence rate between the two groups had obvious difference(P 0.05). Conclusion Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can effectively reduce tumor volume, and postoperative 3-year recurrence rate, increases surgery rate on bulky cervical cancer. But the effect on long-term survival rate needs to be evaluated further through long-term follow-up.

Purpose]Research on otolaryngology disease properties and the classical prescription method, explore the mechanism and the application of the treatment of otolaryngology disease. [Methods]Selection of swel ing ear, ear vertigo, slowly closing pus ent common diseases such as ear, combined with the Treatise on Febrile Disease and Synopsis provisions, analysis of the disease by syndrome differentiation thinking, expound the classical prescription principles and the range for the treatment of the disease. [Results]Treating most otolaryngology disease can use the classical prescription, the curative effect of treatment of otolaryngology disease has obvious advantages. [Conclusion]It has been verified by classical prescription and clinical use, efficacy, and the system of subtlety, ingredients to streamline, familiar with the classical prescription treatment of otolaryngology disease, wil improve the level of physician treatment based on syndrome differentiation and patients to reduce the economic burden, has broad prospects.

Ventilator-induced lung injury is a serious complication of mechanical ventilation. At present a lot of researches have explored lung protective ventilation strategies to prevent and treat ventilator associated lung injury in adult. But researches on children are relatively rare. This article reviewed the pathophysiological mechanisms of pediatric ventilator-induced lung inju-ry and the clinical application of lung protective ventilation strategies in children.

Objective:To analyse the difference of torque performance between lingual and labial brackets as well as the influence of the archwires of different materials with different dimension on the torque capability of lingual brackets.Methods:The 3D finite mo-del of lingual and labial brackets from the right upper canine to the left upper canine was established,all brackets were with 0.56 mm slot size.The center of the bracket slot of the left upper central incisor was used as the central point and the two brackets were rotated clockwise and counterclockwise with a rotation angle of ±20°along the horizontal axis of bracket slot.The torque load on the left up-per central incisors with different materials and dimensions of the archwires was simulated.Results:The torque force of both lingual and labial brackets increased with the increase of rotation angle and the elastic modulus of archwire.The lingual archwire generated torque force was nearly 3 -5 times more than the labial system under the same torque angle.The torque value generated with 0.48 mm ×0.64 mm archwires was greater than 0.43 mm ×0.64 mm.The lingual bracket generated torque force decreased gradually from nickel-titanium(NiTi),Beta-titanium(TMA)to stainless steel(SS)under the same dimension.Conclusion:Torque moments of lin-gual and labial brackets both increases with the increase of torque angle in each operating condition.The lingual orthodontic brackets produce more torque force than labial brackets under the same torque angle.Torque performance of lingual bracket was affected by the material and dimension of the archwires.

Clinical diagnosis and treatment of constipation lags behind relatively with unsatisfactory efficacy. Pathogeneses and molecular mechanisms for different types of constipation are waiting to be further clarified. New biomarkers and therapeutic targets for clinical diagnosis of constipation are so urgent. As for current problems in diagnosis and treatment of constipation, it is necessary to use the concept of translational medicine to break existing imprisonment of thinking, and find out new thinking ways of research methods, diagnosis and treatment approaches, thereby improving diagnosis and treatment levels.

Purpose:To study the malignant probability of a solitary thyroid nodule,probable risk factor,the status of B-mode ultrasonography,computed tomography,fine needle aspiration and frozen section in the operation and other adjuvant examination in the diagnosis.Methods:In the retrospective analysis of 902 cases of solitary thyroid nodule treated by surger- y and diagnosed by pathology in the Cancer Hospital of Fudan University from March 1998 to May 2001,we analyzed the value of B-mode ultrasonography,computed tomography,fine needle aspiration and frozen section in the operation and com- pared them with the final pathological conclusion.Results:This disease occurred mostly in 20～50 years old women,while the malignant nodules occurred more frequently in men(P50 years) (P50 years) is a risk factor.B-mode ultrasonography can be used as routine preoperative examination.CT is valuable in the cases with metastasis to neck lymph nodules.With FNA the pathological diagnosis of the nodule suspected to be malignant can be made preoperatively.

The disadvantages of Admas clasp include inconvenient manual adjustment and being unsuitable to the deciduous molars.The modified Admas clasp can overcome the shortcomings.

The mesially impacted of mandibular second molar is one kind of common malocclusion in clinic.It can lead to damages to stomatognathic system.The looped uprightor is an effective tool in the treatment of this kind of malocclusion.
