Objective To evaluate the efficacy of zoledronic acid combined with radiotherapy for bone meta-static cancer. Methods 71 cases with bone metastatic cancer were randomly divided into observation group (40 ca-ses) and control group (31 cases). The observation group was treated with zoledronic acid, 4 mg intravenously and local radiotherapy. The control group was treatd by radiotherapy alone. Results Pain relief was noted in 90% pa-tients in the observation group and 83.9% in the control group, respectively. The statistical difference was not signif-icant(P > 0.05). After the treatment had finished 3 months pain alleviation situation:Pain relief was noted in 87.5% patients in the observation group and 67.7% in the control group, respectively. The difference between the two groups was significant(χ2 =4.09, P =0.043). No serious radiotherapy and serious adverse drug reactions was found. Conclusion Zoledronic acid combined with radiotherapy was superior to radiotherapy alone for metastatic cancer bone pain relief, analgesic effect maintain a longer time.

BACKGROUND:Acute poisoning is frequently encountered at emergency department. This study was to investigate the epidemiology and characteristics of patients with acute poisoning who were treated at the Emergency Center, Fujian Provincial Hospital, China. METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed the gender, age, causes of poisoning, types of poisons, poisoning route, emergency diagnoses, outcomes, and prognoses of these patients. RESULTS:Altogether 2867 patients with acute poisoning were treated from January 2004 to December 2009. The ratio of male to female was 1:1.04, and their average age was 33.8 years. Of the 2867 patients, 76.39% were between 18 and 40 years old. The incidence of acute poisoning was as high as 11.33% in January each year. The incidence of poisoning was in a descending order:alcohol poisoning (54.55%), medication poisoning (25.95%), pesticide poisoning (5.65%), and drug poisoning (4.88%). Most (56.44%) of the patients with drug poisoning were under 25 years and their mean age was significantly lower than that of patients with medication poisoning or alcohol poisoning (P < 0.01). Approximately 69.54% of the patients were followed up after emergency treatment, 30.39% were hospitalized, and four patients died. CONCLUSIONS:Acute poisoning is largely alcohol poisoning and medication poisoning in a city. The emergency green channel "pre-hospital emergency care-emergency department-hospital treatment"can significantly improve the survival rate of patients with acute poisoning.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the esophagus invert stripping without opening the thoracic cavity on carci- noma in the inferior pharynx, cervical esophagus or the cardia. Method Eighteen patients with carcinoma in the inferior pharynx, cervical esophagus or the cardia were treated surgically with invert stripping of the exophagus without opening the thoracic cavity. Ten patients received antidromic esophagus invert stripping and the other 8 underwent orthodromic esophagus invert stripping. The esophagus of these patients were replaced with either the stomach (in 15 cases) or the colon (in 3 cases), and complete removal of the pharynx and larynx were performed in 2 cases, both of which received permanent fistulization. Result No death occurred during the operation and the complications included anastomotic leakage (2 cases), injury of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (2 cases), pulmonary infection (3 cases), and incision infection (1 case). The follow-up survey showed that the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 77%, 44% and 22%, respectively. Conclusions This surgical approach reduces the damage of the cardiopulmonary function, which can be meaningful for senior patients and those with cardiac or pulmonary problems. The carcinoma in the inferior pharynx or cervical part of the esophagus should be treated surgically to improve the survival rate, but this approach should be avoided in patients with carcinoma in thoracic part of the esophagus.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate effectiveness therapeutic regimens for obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) children at an acceptable cost.
METHODThis study was performed at Yuying Children's Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from Mar. 2008 to Dec. 2010. Prospective random number table method was used for the analysis; 60 children with mild OSAHS were divided into Mild OSAHS Montelukast Treatment (MM) group and Mild OSAHS Adenotonsillectomy Treatment (MAT) group. 32 children in MM group were treated with leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs), while 28 children in MAT group were treated with adenotonsillectomy. Also, 58 children with moderate and severe OSAHS were divided into severe OSAHS Montelukast Treatment (SM) group and severe OSAHS Adenotonsillectomy Treatmen (SAT) group. Twenty-two children in SM group were treated with LTRAs, while 36 children in SAT group were treated with adenotonsillectomy. All selected children were evaluated by polysomnography (PSG) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea-18 (OSA-18) items before and after a six-month treatment. Both records were taken and analyzed, surgical complications and the reason for non-remission after operation were also analyzed. Two therapies were compared based on economic consideration and therapeutic effect. Result (1) PSG: A significant change of a significant change of Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) was observed in MM group after the treatment (before receiving the treatment 4.56 ± 1. 26, and after receiving the treatment 3. 48 ± 1. 52, t =3. 50, P <0. 05). But for oxygen desaturation Index (ODI) (MM group 2. 18 ± 2. 19, and MAT group 1. 80 ± 2. 34) and Lowest Oxygen satuation (LSaO2) (MM group 91. 66 ± 2. 34, and MAT group 92. 79 ± 2. 18), there was no significant difference in MM group and MAT group after the treatment (ODI, t =0. 65, and LSaO2 t = - 1. 93, P >0. 05). (2) OSA-18 scores: Significant differences were found in sleeping disorder (before 14. 81 ± 6. 28, and after 10. 56 ± 3. 57), the degree of familial stress (before 13. 56 ± 3. 54, and after 8. 97 ± 2. 96), and OSA-18 total scores (before 52. 66 ± 1. 11, and after 42. 56 6. 48) in MM group after the treatment (sleeping disorder Z - 3. 14, the degree of familial stress Z = -4. 50, and OSA-18 total scores Z= -4. 01, P <0. 05). (3) In addition to the cost of drugs, groups with surgical treatment had a larger economic burden than those with LTRAs treatment. (4) Treatment was totally effective for 28 children (88%) in MM group, and 28 children (100%) in MAT group. Meanwhile, treatment also achieved an obvious effect on 2 children (9%) in SM group, and in 35 children (97%) in SAT group. In MAT group, 3 children improved (11%). And in SAT group, 7 children improved (19%), but treatment was found to be ineffective in 1 case (3%). Among those effective and ineffective cases in groups with surgical treatment, there were 9 children with nasal diseases.
CONCLUSION(1) Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for children with moderate and severe OSAHS. And for those who also suffer from nasal diseases, treatment combining drugs with surgery is necessary. (2) LTRAs therapy has a good effect for mild OSAHS. Surgery is also recommended when drugs could not achieve any obvious improvement in clinical symptoms of children with mild OSAHS.
