Objective To evaluate the changes in the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of cervical carcinoma over the past 50 years, and to explore the equitable treatment corresponding to these changes. Methods The clinical and pathological data of 1557 patients with invasive cervical carcinoma from January 1955 to December 2004 were retrospectively analyzed. Results (1) The average age of cervical carcinoma onset gradually decreased over the past 50 years, from 56.27?8.45 in years 1955~1964 to 43.81?8.9 in years 1995~2004. At the same time, the radio of clinically early (stages Ⅰ-Ⅱ) and non-squamous cancer also steadily increased. (2) Young patients (≤35 year old) had higher ratios of non-squamous, poorly differentiated and late stage (Ⅲ-Ⅳ) cancers, with a higher rate of lymphatic metastasis compared with other ages. (3) Because of the changes in epidemiology and clinical characteristics of cervical carcinoma, it′s necessary to alter the traditional model of treatment and to explore equitable therapy corresponding to these changes. Conclusions The average age of cervical carcinoma onset gradually decreased and simultaneously the ratio of clinically early (stages Ⅰ-Ⅱ) and non-squamous cancer also steadily increased over the last 50 years. Patients aged 35 and younger of cervical carcinoma had some obvious clinical characteristics compared with that of older patients. Preservation of reproductive endocrine function ought to be deliberated on in cervical carcinoma treatment of women with fecundity. Neoadjuvant intraarterial chemotherapy (NAIC) is an useful method for cervical carcinoma at present

Objective To investigate the effect of Kangaroo care(KC)on diminishing neonatal pain during heel lancing. Methods Sixty neonates were divided randomly into two equal groups:intervention group and control group,which 30 cases in each group.In the intervention group,neonates were treated with KC(neonates were put in direct and continuous skin-to-skin contact with his/her mom)from 20 mins before heel lancing to 1 mins after the end of the lancing.In the control group,neonates were treated with regular care.The differences in heart rate,blood oxygen saturation,facial pain expression,crying duration and DAN(Douleur Aigue Nouveaune)scores between two groups were compared at 7 time points from 10s before the heel lancing to 10s after the lancing. Results The results of repeated measu te at 7 time points after heel lancing.There were significant interaction effect between time and main effect(P<0.01),which showed that the heart rate of two groups were not equal at different time points.Compared with the time effects(P<0.01)which showed that two groups of neonatal heart rate of the two groups would accelerate with time extension. There were significant differences(all P<0.05)in heart rate at 7 time points between two groups and smaller heart rate varied range in intervention group.The results of repeated measures analysis for neonatal blood oxygen saturation at 7 time points after heel lancing. There were significant interaction effect between time and main effects(P<0.01),which showed that the blood oxygen saturation of two groups were not equal at different time points.Compared with the time effect(P<0.01),which showed that two groups of neonatal blood oxygen saturation would reduce with time extension.There were significant differences(all P<0.05)in blood oxygen saturation of two groups at 30s,40s and 50s after heel lancing and smaller blood oxygen saturation varied range in intervention group.The crying duration and DAN scores in intervention group were significantly reduced compared with the controls(all P<0.05).Conclusions
Heel lancing could lead to moderate to severe pain of neonates.KC could effectively diminish the neonatal pain degree caused by heel lancing.

Objective To summarize the treatment results,operative complications and experiences of laparoscopic modified pull-through(Soave)precedure.Methods Twenty children with Hirschsprung disease(HD),16 males and 4 females,with age from 3.5 months to 4 years old,underwent laparoscopic modified pull-through(Soave)precedure under whole anesthesia and tracheal intubation,and the pathological colon was freed by ultrasonic surgical knife.Results All cases were operated on successfully.The average operating time was 132 min.The average resection colon was 35 cm and the average volume of bleeding was about 14 mL without blood transfusion.Two patients had postoperative enterocolitis;3 patients were no complications postoperation,such as constipation,soiling,intestinal obstruction,preianal intestine prolapse or cuff narrowing,and all patients had 1-2 bowel movements per day during a period of 6 months to 3 years follow-up.Conclusion Laparoscopic modified pull-through(Soave)precedure has smaller incision,less bleeding,quick recovery and less complications.

Objective To study the expressions of main subtypes of heat shock protein (HSP) in uterine cervix with different pathological changes. Method 478 cases of cervical biopsy specimen were divided into invasive carcinoma of cervix group (63 cases), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia group (CIN, 106 cases), chronic cervicitis group (293 cases) and normal uterine cervix (16 cases) according to pathological diagnosis. The expression levels of HSP70, HSP90α and HSP90β mRNA were detected by quantitative RT-PCR with specific complex cRNA as internal control. Results (1) The expressions of HSP70, HSP90α and HSP90β mRNA were significantly downtrend stepwise in invasive carcinoma of cervix, CIN, chronic cervicitis and normal cervix tissue. (P＜0.01, respectively). (2)In the invasive carcinoma of cervix group, the expression level of HSP90β mRNA was higher in advanced stage (FIGOⅡb-Ⅳ) compared with incipient (FIGOⅠa-Ⅱa) cancer of the cervix. (P＜0.05). (3)The expressions of HSP70 and HSP90β mRNA were each higher in poorly differentiated tumor than in well-differentiated tumor. (P＜0.05, respectively). (4)The expression levels of all three HSP mRNA had no significant differences were observed with different histological types of cervical cancer. (P＞0.05). Conclusions Heat shock protein may play some important roles in malignant transformation of cervix cell and aggravation of cervix cancer. HSP70 and HSP90α may promote cancer cell transition and proliferation, and HSP90β may participate in cell differentiation.

Objective To observe the changes of respiratory musc]e strength by traditional Chinese medicine combined with cholinesterase inhibitors in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients.Methods Thirty-four cholinesterase inhibitor-resistant patients,of them 14 were MG patients with stage Ⅰ ,and 20 were stage Ⅱ ,were treated with bromide dimethylcarbamate ( 360-480 mg/d ).Traditional Chinese potion were administered in those without effectiveness,and the dosages of bromide dimethylcarbamate decreased with Traditional Chinese potion lasting for 4-6 months.Vital capacity ( VC ),maximal voluntary ventilation ( MVV ),maximal inspiratory pressure ( PIM ),maximal expiratory pressure ( PEM ),respiratory centre driving pressure ( P0.1 ),residual volume ( RV )were measured before and after treatment.Results The amelioration of VC,MVV,PIM,PEM,P0.1 ,RV,respiratory muscle strength and other indicators of 34 MG patients were not obviously after treatment with cholinesterase inhibitor alone ( P ＞ 0.05 ).After treatment with traditional Chinese medicine combined with cholinesterase inhibitors,VC,MVV,PIM,PEM ( before treatment:76.66% ± 18.59%,68.03 % ± 10.45 %,43.25 % ± 18.16%,21.75 % ±14.44% ) increased significantly in all 34 MG patients( after treatment:86.91% ± 14.87% ,75.11% ± 11.17%,52.66% ±20.32% ,28.56% ± 10.06% ) ( P ＜ 0.05).RV decreased from 164.94% ± 67.97% to 143.16% ±79.21% (P ＜0.01 ),and respiratory muscle strength,endurance and other indicators significantly improved (P ＜0.01).PIM(65.80% ±28.03% to 52.66% ±20.32%),and PEM (37.03% ±20.57% to 28.56% ±10.06%)improved more significantly in group stage than in group stage (P ＜0.01 ).Respiratory muscle endurance in stage Ⅰpatients ( 108.71% ± 17.56% ) improved significantly than stage Ⅱ patients (96.01% ± 14.12% ,P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions Traditional Chinese medicine combined with cholinesterase inhibitors could effectively improve the lung function and respiratory muscle strength in patients with resistance of the cholinesterase inhibitors.The improvement of lung function,respiratory muscle strength were more obviously in stage Ⅰ patients than in stage Ⅱ patients.Respiratory muscle strength and endurance were improved greater in stage Ⅱ than in stage Ⅰ patients.
