Objective To study the short-term curative effects and side effects of the three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy in advanced esophageal cancer in Xinjiang provenience.Methods One hundred and twelve cases were divided into Kazak and Han nationality group according to the different nations.Chemotherapy was DF regime:5-Fu 1000 ms/m2+DDP 20 mg/m2,d1-4,21 days as a cycle,total 4-6 cycles.For both groups,3DCRT was carried out by conventional fractionation with total dose of 60-66 Gy/30-33frin 6-7w.Results The following-up rate was 100%.The number of pailents followed up at two years wero 23 and 27 in Kazak and Han nationality group,respectively.The immediate effective rates(CR(complete remission)+PR(partial remission))were 77%(34/44)and 85%(58/68)in ban and kazak group,respectively(X2=4.89,P=0.180).The 1-and 2-year survival rate were 75%,59%and 52%,40%(X2=1.71,P=0.191)in Kazak and Han group,respectively.The 3-4grade radioesophagitis were 5%(2/44)and 7%(5/68)in kazak group and han group,respectively(X2=1.66,P=0.435).The 3-4 grade radiopneumonia were 2%(1/44)and 1%(1/68)in kazak group and ban group,respectively(X2=0.99,P=0.608).The 3-4 grade haematolosical toxicity were9%(4/44) and 29%(20/68 in kazak and in han group,respectively(X2=6.57,P=0.037).Conclusions There was no significant difference in short-term curative effects between patients from han and kazak nationality with advanced carcinoma of esophagus who received the three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy.but Kazak people showed better tolerance.

Abstract?AIM: To comparatively analyze the efficacy and clinical value of cutting frontal muscular slap or not during frontalis aponeurosis flap suspension in treating congenital severe ptosis.?METHODS: Clinical data of 44 children ( 54 eyes ) with congenital severe ptosis treated in our hospital from May 2013 to October 2015 was retrospectively analyzed. Children included were divided into two groups according to the different ways of operation, observation group ( cutting frontal muscular slap ) and control group ( without cutting frontal muscular slap ) , 22 cases ( 27 eyes ) in each group. The general information, postoperative follow-up, eyelid closure and complication occurrence in two groups were compared.?RESULTS: The general information of the two groups had no statistical difference (P>0.05).After 1, 6mo, the cosmetic correction rate, the rate of overcorrection, and the rate of under correction in two groups had no statistical difference (P>0.05), but the activity of upper eyelid in observation group was bigger than that in control group (P<0.05).After 1, 6mo, the incomplete closure in two groups had no statistical difference ( P>0.05 ) , but eyelid fissure height in natural closed eyelids in control group was higher than that in observe group ( P<0.05 ).After 1mo, 2 eyes in control group were with abnormal feelings in frontal part, and 3 eyes in observation group.After 6mo, 2 eyes in control group were with abnormal feelings in frontal part, and 3 eyes in observation group.There were no complications such as exposure keratitis, eyelid margin deformity, infection, hematoma, and diplopia in two groups.?CONCLUSION: The total therapeutic effects of two different surgery procedures in treating severe congenital ptosis are quite similar.The surgery with cutting frontal muscular slap could improve the activity of upper eyelid and postoperative eyelid closure.

Pleiotropic effects of a drug are actions other than that for which the agents were developed.These effects may be desired or undesired,and may be unrelated to their primary mechanism.Statins were designed as a drug for reducing cholesterol,but now pleiotropic effect are found including improvement of endothelial dysfunction,inhancement of eNOS bioavailability antioxide effect,antiinflammatory properties and reduction of hypertension.Understanding those effects is important for treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Because the rehabilitation process is too long and its effect is non-significant, stroke patients are prone to showing over-reliance on their families, being unconfident in their abilities, and they usually miscommunicate with medical staff, in fact, the reason why they have these problems is that they didn't manifest appropriate ego states, so they couldn't communicate with families and medical staff healthily,which is extremely unfavorable for stroke rehabilitation. So-called ego state is individual mentality and corresponding behavior patterns.This paper used ego state concept in transactional analysis theory to describe the change of stroke patients' ego states, and analyze the communication patterns among patients, medical staffs and families, in order to assist patients to be aware of their own ego states, and present them properly, develop healthy communication, and promote the rehabilitation of the disease in the end.

Objective To evaluate the impact of sleep-disordered breathing(SDB)on the quality of life(QOL)in children with SDB and investigate the value of tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy in improving their QOL.Methods Questionnaire of disease-specific quality of life for children with obstructive sleep apnea with 18 items(OSA-18)was used to evaluate QOL in 168 children with SDB within four weeks before and six to 12 months after surgical operation,and correlation between OSA-18 scores to apnea hypopnea index(AHI)and minimum oxygen saturation(MiO2)in 62 of them was evaluated with polysomnography(PSG),with 50 healthy children without snoring as controls.Results Overall scores of OSA-18 in children of SDB group before surgical operation were significantly higher than those in children of control group(t=15.12,P＜0.01).and QOL was seriously affected in 30.4 percent of the children with SDB.Scores of OSA-18 correlated to AHI and MiO2 before surgical operation.QOL was improved significantly in 73.8 percent of children with SDB after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.Conclusions SDB has obvious impact on pediatric QOL,which can be improved by tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.There exists significant correlation between OSA-18 scores and objective indicators of PSG,and the former can be used as clinical diagnosis for SDB in children and as quantitative evaluation for the effectiveness of intervention.

Objective To study the level and clinical value of differential display code 3 (DD3) in peripheral blood of patients with prostate cancer.Methods 27 patients with prostate cancer from April 2014 to April 2015 in Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University were researched.26 patients with non prostate diseases were selected as control group.DD3 mRNA levels were detected in peripheral blood of all patients.DD3 absorbance value of three groups of patients,the relationship between the relative content of DD3 mRNA and the clinical characteristics of prostate cancer,DD3 mRNA in urine and peripheral blood of patients with prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia were observed.Results In the patients with benign hyperplasia of prostate and non prostate diseases,a total of 4 patients did not appear to be DD3 specific bands.In prostate cancer patients,all patients were found to have DD3 specific bands.The relative content of patients with non prostate diseases was (0.18 ± 0.05) copies/mL.The relative content of benign prostatic hyperplasia patients was (0.30 ± 0.09) copies/mL.The relative content of prostate cancer patients was (0.78 ± 0.23) copies/mL.The positive expression rates of DD3 mRNA in peripheral blood and urine of patients with prostate cancer were 85.18％ (23/27),51.85％ (14/27),respectively,which were significantly higher than those in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia[21.42％ (6/28),7.14％ (2/27)] (x2 =22.416,13.319,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The specific expression of DD3 mRNA in peripheral blood of patients with prostate cancer can be used as an effective basis for judging the patients' condition,and it has certain value for the treatment and prognosis of patients with prostate cancer.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of propofol on the platelet function.Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients undergoing elective minor surgery were allocated into two groups: propofol group (n=20) and control group (n=10). The mean age of the patients was (37?8)yr. Patients who had blood disease or had been exposed to any medication with known platelet effects were excluded. The patients were premedicated with phenobarbital sodium 2mg?kg -1 and atropine 0.01 mg?kg -1. In propofol group anesthesia was induced with propofol 2 mg?kg -1, fentanyl 4?g?kg -1 and vecuronium 0.1 mg?kg -1 and maintained with 0.8%-1.2% isoflurane inhalation supplemented with fentanyl and vecuronium. The duration of operation averaged (85?15)min. Blood samples were taken from peripheral vein before induction of anesthesia, 5 and 30 min after induction and 1h after termination of propofol infusion for the assessment of CD62P,CD63 and CD41/CD61 on the platelet membrane surface by flow cytometry. Platelet count, bleeding time and ACT were also determined at the same time.Results Following the administration of propofol the expressions of CD62P and CD63 on the platelet membrane surface were significantly decreased, whereas the expression of CD41/CD61, platelet count, bleeding time and ACT did not change significantly.Conclusions Propofol inhibits the expression of platelet membrane glycoproteins CD62P and CD63 and may contribute to the impairment of platelet function.
