Objective To evaluate endovascular aortic repair for retrograde Stanford type A aortic dissection with an entry tear in the descending aorta.Methods From April 2006 to Dec 2012,31 patients with retrograde type A aortic dissection were treated with endovascular technique.22 patients had pleural effusion,14 patients had patent false lumen in the ascending aorta.Emergency operation was performed in 2 patients with acute right renal artery and right common iliac artery ischemia respectively.29 patients received endovascular treatment after 3 weeks conservative treatment.Chimney technique was used in 3 patients.Results All procedures were technically successful without severe complications.Ascending aorta recovered 1-3 months after operation.Pleural effusion subsided 3 days to 3 weeks after endovascular treatment.During follow-up of (31 ± 18) months,no severe complications developed,all the stent-grafts placed by chimney technique were patent.Conclusions Endovascular aortic repair can be used in the treatment of retrograde Stanford type A aortic dissection.Chimney technique can be used to reconstruct supra-aortic branches.

Objective To investigate the incidence of leukemia in infants, and to understand the status of this disease in recent years. Methods A total of 5802 children aged median 6 years (0-12 years) with first time bone marrow biopsy from January 2009 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed, and the results of bone marrow image analysis were analyzed retrospectively to investigate the incidence of leukemia. Results Of the 5802 cases, 480 (8.27 %) cases were children with leukemia. Among them, 381 (79.38 %) cases were acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), 99 (20.62 %) cases were acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The proportion of children with leukemia with first time marrow puncture was 5.33%(40/750), 4.92%(36/731), 7.06%(58/821), 8.34%(78/935), 10.13%(88/868), 10.89%(92/845), and 10.33%(88/852) from 2009 to 2015, respectively. The proportion of male patients per year was more than female, and the incidence in preschool and school-age children was higher [33.75 % (162/480) and 34.79 % (167/480), respectively]. Conclusion The proportion of children's leukemia in children with the first time bone marrow aspiration in Shanxi Children's Hospital increases year by year, and its risk factors need to be further analyzed.

Treatment and the clinical outcome of patients with head and neck cancer are determined by accurate staging and assessment of the cervical lymph nodes for metastases is an important step of this process. Ultrasonography, ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA), CT, MRI and PET/CT are used in the assessment of cervical lymph nodes. Ultrasonography guided FNA is advantageous in ease of application, minimumal invasiveness to patients, and less contraindications. Combined with cell block and molecular biology, FNA can be an effective tool for the diagnosis. The present article reviewed the diagnostic value of ultrasonography guided FNA in cervical lymph node assessment in patients with head and neck cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of Astragalus and chemotherapy on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC), microvessel density(MVD)and immune function.Methods 92 patients with NSCLC were divided into the study group and the control group, 46 cases in each group.Both groups were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and operation, and the study group was treated with astragalus polysaccharide.The expression of VEGF in cancer tissues, MVD and immune function were compared between the two groups.The short-term and long-term curative effect and the incidence of adverse reactions were recorded.Results After treatment, positive rates of VEGF, MVD and blood CD8+ were significantly decreased in two groups (P<0.05), showing study groupcontrol group (P<0.05).There were no significant differences between the two groups in short-term curative effect and 5 year survival rates.The incidence rates of side effects in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Adjuvant chemotherapy combined with intravenous infusion of Astragalus Polysaccharide can improve MVD, the expression of VEGF and immune function in patients with NSCLC.

Objective: To investigate the molecular changes in bladder urothelial carcinoma via different pathways. Methods:Polymerase-chain reaction (PCR) or coamplification at low denaturation temperature-PCR and Sanger direct sequencing were per-formed to detect the status of fgfr3, p53, and h-ras gene mutations in 88 tissue samples of human bladder cancer and 10 normal control tissues. The relative mRNA expression levels of motility-related protein-1 (MRP-1)/CD9 and the relationship between genes and tumor recurrence were also determined. Logistic regression and relative analyses were conducted to compare the significance and interrelation of genes among tumor recurrences. Results:The mutation rate of p53 increased as pathological grades and stages increased. Recurrence rate was higher in patients with MT-p53 genotype than in patients with WT-p53 genotype. Conversely, the mutation rate of fgfr3 gene decreased as pathological grades and stages increased. Recurrence rate was also higher in patients with WT-fgfr3 genotype than in pa-tients with MT-fgfr3 genotype. In low-grade and early stage tumors, MT-fgfr3/WT-p53 was the most prevalent genotype;in high-grade and late stage tumors, WT-fgfr3/MT-p53 was the most prevalent genotype. The mutations of h-ras were mainly observed in low-grade tumors in early stages. Moreover, the relative mRNA levels of MRP-1/CD9 decreased as pathological grades and stages increased. The mRNA levels of MRP-1/CD9 were negatively correlated with p53 mutations and positively correlated with fgfr3 mutations. Logistic re-gression analysis results showed that patients with WT-fgfr3 genotypes exhibited 3.88 times higher relative risk of tumor recurrence than those with MT-fgfr3 genotypes;by contrast, patients with MT-p53 genotypes exhibited 4.53 times higher relative risk of tumor re-currence than those with WT-p53 genotypes. Conclusion:Fgfr3 and h-ras gene mutations may play important roles in tumorigenesis of low-grade and early stage bladder cancer. p53 gene mutation and mRNA levels of MRP-1/CD9 may be implicated in the tumorigenesis of high-grade tumors in late stage of bladder cancer. In general, the two variants of urothelial carcinoma exhibit distinct genetic defects. fgfr3 gene mutation revealed a pathway of favorable prognosis, and p53 gene mutation demonstrated a pathway associated with poor prognosis.
