Objective To discuss the diagnosis and management of adrenal cortical carcinoma. Methods 12 cases of adrenal cortical carcinoma were evaluated with regard to clinical,pathologic characteristics and prognosis.Of the 12 patients,6 were male and 6 were female with an average age of 37.The tumor was functional in 4 and nonfunctional in 8.The tumor was on the right side in 10 and on the left in 2.The diameter of the tumor was 3~30 cm.3 cases were Sullivan stage Ⅰ,3 stage Ⅱ,2 stage Ⅲ and 4 stage Ⅳ. Results Tolal ablation of the tumor has been conducted in 11 and biopsy only in 1.Estrogen receptor expression was positive in 5 out of 7 as deteted by immunohistochemistry assay.Five patient died within 1.5 years after operation whereas the other 7 are still surviving including 5 administered with tamoxifen. Conclusions Adrenal cortical carcinoma may be an estrogen-dependant tumor,so tamoxifen is an effective adjuvant drug in the treatment.Tumor size and stage appear to be strongly correlated with prognosis,larger size and higher stage are associated with a poor prognosis.

Objective To observe the effect of oral massage combined with trial feeding on dysphagia in neonates with hypoxic- ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Methods We enrolled 30 hospitalized newborns who were diagnosed moderate to severe HIE with dysphagia in the NICU of our hospital from January 2016 to December 2017. According to the random number table method, these newborns was divided into control group and study group. Oral massage combined with trial feeding were given in the study group, nasogastric feeding in the control group and family participatory care and the treatment of nutritional neurodrugs were also given in two groups. To campare the oral milk remnant, feeding time and sucking action after the flow of milk and swallowing, oral feeding time, gastric tube indwelling time and length of stay in two groups. Results After 5 days intervention, the clinical manifestations of dysphagia in two groups were compared, and there were 6 cases, (8.50 ± 1.05)ml, (36.40 ± 2.87)min and 10 cases of oral milk remnant, feeding time and sucking action after the flow of milk and swallowing respectively in the study group, and 15 cases were 15 cases, (10.80 ± 0.39 )ml, (42.29 ± 1.60) min, 3 cases in the control group, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=12.86, t=7.52, 6.93, χ2=6.66, P<0.05). The oral feeding time, gastric tube indwelling time and hospitalization time of the study group were (15.60±1.35) d, (11.73±1.39) d, and (21.47±2.03)d, and the control group were (17.00±0.65) d , (14.13±0.99) d, (23.27 ± 1.16) d, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=3.61, 5.45, 2.98, P<0.05). Conclusions For children with dysphagia, oral massage and combined feeding before each feeding can promote the improvement of oral motor nerves in children, and improve feeding effect, and promote rehabilitation of children.
