Objective To compare the treatment outcome and prognostic factors in patients with advanced cervical cervical cancer between Han and Uygur in Xinjiang district.Methods 204 patients with advanced cervical cancer were retrospectively analyzed.Eighty patients were Han 80 and 124 were Uyghur.100 patients received radiotherapy alone and 49 with concurrent radiochemotherapy,and 55 had brachytherapy followed by surgery.The survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method and the difference was compared by Logrank test.Multivariate analysis was performed using Cox regression model.Results The follow-up rate was 97.5％.The number of patients with at least 5 years of follow up was 102.The 1-,3-and 5-year overall survival rates in Han and Uygur patients were 81.2％,66.3％,51.4％ and 83.4％,62.8％,49.2％,respectively (x2 =3.21,P =0.273).Univariate analysis showed that parity,geographical distribution,pathological type,clinical stage,lymph node involvement and treatment were prognostic factors for overall survival (x2 =2.35,11.34,7.12,6.73,4.79,13.60,P=0.049,0.029,0.031,0.037,0.041,0.021).Multivariate analysis showed that parity,geographical distribution,pathological type,clinical stage,lymph node involvement and treatment were independent prognostic factors for overall survival (x2 =8.36,24.94,10.69,5.63,9.50,P =0.002,0.001,0.021,0.018,0.031).Conclusions There is no significant difference in overall survival rate of patients with advanced cervical cancer between Han and Uighur.Patients with parity more than or equal to 3 times,advanced clinical stage or adenocarcinoma have poor prognoses.

OBJECTIVEThis study was aimed to explore the physiological changes and the effect of heat acclimation training via a randomized control trial study.

METHODSForty healthy male volunteers were chosen and divided into experimental group and control group randomly. Those in experimental group received heat acclimation training including but not limited to meditation, unarmed run, yoga, and stepping in hot lab environment. And then, subjective feeling, rectal temperature, average skin temperature, and sweat electrolytes concentration were detected in order to describe their physiological changes. Before and after the training, both groups received some tests and their 3 000 m run-race time, nervous reaction time and subjective perception scores were recorded to evaluate the effect of acclimation training.

RESULTS(1) There was no difference in 3 000 m between the 2 groups in the same environment. Subjects' 3 000 m race time in experimental group was obviously shortened than that in control group in room temperature environment (t = 2.326, P < 0.05). And subjects' 3 000 m race time in experimental group was obviously shortened than that in control group in hot-humid environment (t = 4.518, P < 0.01). (2) Subjects' reaction time (RT) in experimental group was shortened than that in control group in room temperature environment (Z = 11.258, P < 0.05). And Subjects' RT in experimental group was sharply shortened than that in control group in hot-humid environment (Z = 6.519, P < 0.01). (3) No difference between the experimental and control groups was observed in subjective perception score (SPS) in room temperature environment. But subjects' SPS in experimental group was obviously lowered than that in control group and in hot-humid environment (t = 17.958, P < 0.01).(4) Anal temperature (AT) was lowered during training, while the change of mean skin temperature (MST) was not significant. Sweat sodium concentration (SSC) was lowered during training. SPS continued to decrease and entered plateau on the 13th day after training.(5) After acclimation training, the working capacity of the experimental group in hot-humid environment was over 85% of that in room temperature environment. While subjects' working capacity in control group in hot-humid environment was about 80% of that in room temperature environment.

CONCLUSIONHot-humid environment acclimation training improved the working capacity. After training, subjects' working capacity in hot-humid environment remained over 85% of that in room temperature environment, which was higher than that of those subjects who did not take part in training.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of metabolic syndrome (MS) in patients with type 2 diabetes in special care unit.Methods Two thousand three hunrded and sixty patients with type 2 diabetes were selected as our subject in The Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University from Jan.2010 to Jul.2012.Among these patients,462 patients from special care unit were served as special care group and 1 898 patients from endocrinology ward were assigned to control group.The disease history information was recorded and physical examination and biochemical tests,including blood lipids,blood pressure,fasting glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,serum insulin,C peptide were measured.Results (1) In special care group,there were 335 male (72.5％) and the prevalence of smoking,alcohol drinking and the proportion of the high income people were 40.5％,24.9％,76.6％ respectively,higher than that of control group (56.6％,24.6％,10.7％,12.7％ ;x2 =32.1,16.9,12.3,32.8 ;P ＜ 0.01).The body mess index (BMI),levels of waist circumference,alanine aminotransferase (ALT),gamma glutamyhransferase (γ-GT),triglyceride (TG),serum uric acid and fasting C peptide in special care group were ((25.6 ± 3.7) kg/m2,(91.0 ± 9.5) cm,(27.8 ±19.7) U/L,(34.1 ±26.3) U/L,(2.35 ±2.31) mmol/L,(333.7 ±85.5) μmol/L,(2.11 ±1.04) μg/L) higher than those of control group ((24.8 ± 3.5) kg/m2,(89.1 ± 10.3) cm,(23.0 ± 16.1) U/L,(29.2 ±23.2) U/L,(1.82 ±1.64) mmol/L,(317.1 ±85.2) μ mol/L,(1.74 ± 1.05) μg/L;F =11.44,6.90,16.65,8.35,18.23,7.34,21.21 ; P ＜ 0.01).The age,duration of diabetes,systolic blood pressure,level of serum high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C),and glycosylated hemoglobin were ((52.9 ± 11.1) years,5 (2,10) years,(126.7 ± 15.2) mmHg,(1.02 ± 0.32) mmol/L,(8.44 ± 1.99) ％) lower than those of control group((60.4 ± 12.2) years,7 (2,12) years,(131.9 ± 17.3) mmHg,(1.10 ± 0.32) mmol/L,(9.16 ±2.32)％;F =79.41,12.71,18.93,12.78,18.52; P ＜ 0.01); (2) The rate of overweight/obesity,dyslipidemia and MS prevalence rates in special care group were 55.6％,68.4％,60.2％,significantly higher than the control group(46.1％,52.9％,50.6％ ;x2 =7.59,18.76,7.18,P ＜ 0.01).While the prevalence of hypertension in special care group was significantly lower than control group(39.6％ vs 50.7％,x2 =10.15,P =0.01).There was on significant difference between male and female in term of the prevalence of the MS in the special care group(61.2％ vs 57.5％,x2 =0.01,P =0.92).According to age,patients in special care group were divided into three groups and that were ＜45 years group,45-59 years group and ≥60 years group.With the increase of age group of female,the prevalence of MS was increasing(33.3％,48.0％,74.1％ ;x2 =4.43,P =0.04).Among the male patients,there was no significant different was seen among three groups (58.8％,62.5％,55.6％ ;x2 =0.05,P =0.87).(3) Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors of MS in special care group including age(OR =1.071,95％ CI(1.027-1.117),P =0.01),BMI (OR =1.391,95％ CI(1.112-1.739) ; P =0.013),waist circumference (OR =1.126,95％ CI(1.039-1.222) ; P =0.004),TG (OR =1.747,95 ％ CI(1.124-2.717) ; P =0.013) and diastolic blood pressure (OR =1.111,95％CI(1.045-1.180);P =0.001).HDL-C(OR=0.048,95％CI(0.005-0.464) ;P =0.009) were protective factors of MS in special care group.Conclusion Approximately 3/5 patients with diabetes in special care unit got MS.The factors including age,BMI,waist circumference,diastolic blood pressure,TG,HDL-C were related to MS occurrence.

Objective To study the expression of sex hormone-binding globulin(SHBG),insulin signaling pathway and glucose transporter in placenta of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM),and to explore its role in the pathogenesis of GDM. Methods A total of 10 full-term and non-obese(BMI<25 kg/m2)pregnancy women diagnosed with GDM and 10 normal pregnant cases were recruited for the study. Placental tissues were collected respectively. The expression of protein and mRNA of SHBG and insulin signal transduction(IRS-1,ISR-2,PI3K p85α)and glucose transporter proteins(GLUT-1,GLUT-3,GLUT-4)in placental tissue were detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting. Pearson and linear regression analysis were used to evaluate the correlation among the related indicators. Results In the placental tissue of non-obese women,there existed a decrease(P<0.05)in the expression of protein and mRNA of SHBG with a concurrent a decrease(P<0.05)in the expression of protein and mRNA of GLUT-4 in GDM women compared with normal controls. Furthermore ,a decrease(P<0.05)of GLUT-3 and IRS-1 protein expression with lower(P<0.05)IRS-2 mRNA expression was also observed in placental tissue from GDM patients. No changes were found in PI3K p85α and GLUT-1 at both protein and mRNA levels(P>0.05). Results of linear correlation analysis showed that there were positive correlations between SHBG mRNA and IRS-2 mRNA(P<0.05),SHBG mRNA and PI3K p85α mRNA(P<0.05),and SHBG mRNA and GLUT-4 mRNA(P<0.05). There was also a remarkable positive correlation between IRS-2 mRNA and GLUT-4 mRNA(P<0.01). There existed negative correlations between IRS-1 mRNA and PI3K p85α mRNA(P<0.05),and IRS-1 mRNA and GLUT-3 mRNA(P<0.05). There existed a remarkable positive correlation between IRS-2 mRNA and GLUT-1 mRNA(P<0.01). Conclusion The defective receptors of insulin signaling pathway are present in GDM placental tissue. Decreased expression of SHBG may be involved in the regulation insulin signaling ,leading to a concomitant decrease expression of relevant insulin signaling components in placental tissue ,implying insulin resistance and developing GDM finally.

For treatment of pediatric inguinal hernia, we fabricated a device, i.e. so called "filling type pediatric hernia sac", which treats the problem from the abdominal cavity, through the abdominal and is a self-adaptive closer, using synthetic material. The device includes filling rack, self-adaptive umbrella support bar, bottom piece, outside pulling line and device fixing lines. The filling rack is composed of 2 concentric circles of 3.0 cm diameter with peripherally fixed together and can be pulled into the shapes of a ball or an olive. The supporting bar is structured of 3 pieces with 0.5 cm wide, 4.0 cm long, cross-fixed on top of the filling rack. The bottom piece is in a circular structure with a diameter of 3.0 cm, and it is connected to the filling rack bottom. Adjust positioning stay outside the fixed on the top of the device are connected at one end, and the other end free through filling the top frame connected with the bottom slice of central fixation. By using this device, we treated 37 pediatric inguinal hernia cases with 38 side-inguinal hernia successfully. The mean duration of post-operation follow-ups was 14.6 ± 5.89 months, without hernia recurrence, obvious scar and hard sections of inguinal region. This device could provide a convenient, safe and effective plugging technology for children's pediatric hernia.

1.0～(?)1.5 cm(14.81%)(P=0.10).There was no lymph node metastasis in tumors less than 1.0 cm in diameter. The 5-year survival rates for cases with or without lymph node involvement were 92.31% and 60.0%,respectively,the difference was significant(P=0.000).The 5-year survival rates of 12 patients showing ground-glass opacity(GGO)on chest CT was 91.67% without any lymph node involvement.Conclusions:There is mediastinal and hilar lymph node involvement even with tumor diameter less than 2 cm.The results of the present study suggested that routine lymph node dissection is necessary even for cases with tumor diameter less than 2 cm.However,if the tumor is within 1.0 cm in diameter with obvious GGO showing on chest CT,these are good candidates for partial resection without mediastinal lymph node dissection.

ObjectiveTo explore the optimal method of protecting bone marrow in postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy of stage Ⅱ - Ⅲ rectal cancer by comparing two techniques of intensitymodulated radiotherapy (IMRT). MethodsFifteen patients with stage Ⅱ - Ⅲ rectal cancer after surgery had CT simulation. Clinical target volume, small bowel, bladder and bone marrow were contoured. Two IMRT treatment plannings with and without bone marrow-sparing (BMS-IMRT and IMRT) were separately designed. The dose distribution was compared based on that 95％ of the planning target volume received the prescribed dose. ResultsBMS-IMRT had an advantage over IMRT in terms of conformity indices ( 1. 06∶1. 04, t =- 2. 61, P =0. 023 ), but inferior to I M RT for homogeneity indices ( 0. 81 : 0. 75, t =- 2. 34, P =0.037)).Compared with IMRT, BMS-IMRT reduced the V5, V10, V20, V30, V40 of bone marrow (97.09％∶98.72％, t=-2.34, P=0.037;92.38％∶96.46％, t=-2.41, P=0.033;83.36％∶91.70％, t=-3. 18, P=0.008;51.47％∶69.65％, t=-4.92, P=0.000;36.34％∶49.57％, t=-2.66, P =0. 021 ). The doses received by small bowel and bladder were similar between BMS-IMRT and IMRT, except that the V20 of bladder was lower in BMS-IMRT (77. 32％∶92. 39％, t =-3.52, P=0. 004). Conclusions BMS-IMRT reduces low dose volume of bone marrow without increasing dose to other risk organs.BMS-IMRT might reduce acute hematologic toxicity and increase the feasibility of postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy in stage Ⅱ -Ⅲ rectal cancer.
