Substantial evidence supports the relationship between chronic inflammation and cancer development. Numerous studies suggest that chronic inflammatory disease, such as periodontitis, contributes to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma development. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignant tumor in the oral and maxillofacial regions. Porphyromonas gingivalis, one of the most important pathogens in association with periodontal disease, might have a potential correlation with OSCC. Along with the development of molecular biological techniques, the association between Porphyromonas gingivalis and OSCC has been greatly emphasized in recent years. This review summarizes the association between these variables and the potential mechanisms involved in such relationship.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference in the clinical efficacy on post-stroke insomnia between the low-frequency electric stimulation at the acupoints and the conventional western medication.

METHODSOne hundred and twenty patients of post-stroke insomnia were randomized into a low-frequency electric stimulation group, a medication group and a placebo group, 40 cases in each one. In the low-frequency electric stimulation group, the low-frequency electric-pulsing apparatus was used at Dazhui (GV 14) and Shenshu (BL 23), once a day; the treatment of 15 days made one session and 2 sessions were required. In the medication group, estazolam was taken orally, 1 mg each time. In the placebo group, starch capsules were taken orally, 1 capsule each time. All the drugs were taken before sleep every night, continuously for 15 days as one session, and 2 sessions were required. PSQI changes and clinical efficacy were observed before and after treatment in each group.

RESULTSPitlsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score was reduced in every group after treatment (all P < 0.01). In the low-frequency electric stimulation group and medication group, the score was reduced much more significantly as compared with the placebo group (both P < 0.01). In the placebo group, 1 case was rejected. The total effective rates were 95.0% (38/40), 92.5% (37/40) and 17.9% (7/39) in the low-frequency electric stimulation group, medication group and placebo group separately. The efficacy in the low-frequency electric stimulation group and medication group was better apparently than that in the placebo group (both P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe low-frequency electric stimulation at the acupoints effectively and safely treats post-stroke insomnia and the efficacy of it is similar to that of estazolam.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (PPSF) and open pedicle screw fixation (OPSF) in the treatment of single level of thoracolumbar fracture.

METHODSDatabases including Pubmed, Embasem, CNKI were searched to collect clinical trials of the clinical safety and efficiency of PPSF and OPSF for single level of thoracolumbar unstable fracture, relevant proceedings and references were also retrieved manually. Studies from 1990 to 2014 that met the inclusion and exclusion standards were researched. The data were extracted and the methods from the studies were also evaluated. Data analysis was conducted with the Review Manager 5.3 software. Observation targets included operation time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative bleeding, hospitalization time, the bed time, postoperative vertebral Cobb angle, vertebral body height, pain score and the length of incision operation.

RESULTSFifteen papers were finally studied, including 2 randomized controlled trials (RCT) and 13 case-control studies, involving 789 patients. Compared with OPSF, the PPSF in treating thoracolumbar fracture had shorter operation time, smaller operation incision, less intraoperative and postoperation bleeding, shorter hospitalization days, fewer pain (P<0.00001), the less improvement in the change of Cobb angle (P=0.0006). There was no significant difference in the improvement of vertebral body height (P=0.36), the bed time from operation to exercise (P=0.38) between OPSF and PPSF.

CONCLUSIONCompared with OPSF, PPSF is better, safer, and has fewer pain. But there is no evidence that the PPSF is better in the recovery of the spinal height, and they have the same effect in the long-term follow-up for thoracolumbar fractures. PPSF brines minimally invasive to patients with better effect. It is worth further study and clinical research.

Objective To investigate surgical treatment for tumor involved inferior vena cava at the upper segment of kidney.Methods The clinical data of 35 patients with tumor involved inferior vena cava at the upper segment of kidney who were admitted to Changhai Hospital affiliated to the Second Military Medical University from January 2007 to May 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients received preoperative imaging examinations to insure the site and range of inferior vena cava involvement at the upper segment of kidney.Renal cell carcinomas with inferior vena cava involvement were found in 19 cases,leiomyosarcomas of inferior vena cava in 5 cases,leiomyomatosis involving inferior vena cava in 3 cases,adrenocortical carcinoma involving inferior vena cava in 3 cases,liver cancer involving inferior vena cava in 2 cases,right adrenal pheochromocytomas in 2 cases,retroperitoneal fibrosarcoma involving inferior vena cava in 1 case.According to tumor involvement types,the different surgical approaches,planes and method of inferior vena cava exclusion,reconstruction method and prevention of tumor embolus detachment were selected.Patients were followed up by outpatient examination and telephone interview till May 2015.Results Among 19 patients with renal cell carcinomas with inferior vena cava involvement,10 patients were placed inferior vena cava filters through internal jugular vein before surgery,10 patients underwent total hepatic vascular exclusion and 9 patients underwent intrahepatic inferior vena cava exclusion.All the 19 patients received tumor resection and inferior vena cava embolectomy.Of the 5 patients with leiomyosar-comas of inferior vena cava,3 patients underwent total hepatic vascular exclusion and 2 patients underwent intrahepatic inferior vena cava exclusion.The diseased segments of 5 patients were resected,including 4 patients of artificial vascular graft and 1 patient complicated with resection of right kidney receiving simple ligation of inferior vena cava and left renal vein at proximal and distal tumors.Of the 3 patients with leiomyomatosis involving inferior vena cava,2 patients received total hepatic vascular exclusion and 1 was treated surgically under cardiopulmonary bypass.All the 3 patients underwent inferior vena cava embolectomy and hysterectomy.Three patients with adrenocortical carcinoma involving inferior vena cava and 2 patients with liver cancer involving inferior vena cava underwent total hepatic vascular exclusion.Among the 5 patients,4 had direct suture after tumor removal combined with partial inferior vena cava resection,and 1 had patch repair after partial inferior vena cava resection.Two patients with right adrenal pheochromocytomas were exposed proximal and distal lifting devices of inferior vena cava without clamp,and the tumors were peeled off completely.Intraoperative death happened in the patient with retroperitoneal fibrosarcoma involving inferior vena cava who was prepared to undergo intrahepatic inferior vena cava exclusion but encountered intraoperative pulmonary embolism due to tumor thrombus shedding.Thirty-four patients of 35 patients underwent operation successfully without serious perioperative complications and a patient died in the perioperative period.The mean operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss and duration of postoperative hospital stay were 2.8 hours (range,1.5-5.0 hours),2 000 mL (range,400-5 000 mL) and 9.2 days (range,6.0-16.0 days).Thirty-four patients were followed up for a median time of 12 months (range,1-60 months).During the follow-up period,a patient with leiomyosarcomas of inferior vena cava and 2 patients with adrenocortical carcinoma involving inferior vena cava died of tumor recurrence,a patient with liver cancer had tumor recurrence,other patients were tumor-free survival.Conclusions Inferior vena cava at the upper segment of kidney is not contraindication for tumor resection.The appropriate way to expose,clamp and reconstruct are selected to safely remove the tumor based on extension and method of tumor involving inferior vena cava.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of the uni-extrapedicular percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) versus the unipedicular PKP in the treatment of lower osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF).Methods From January 2011 to January 2013,47 patients with lower OVCF were treated at our department.The uni-extrapedicular PKP was conducted for 25 of them (28 compressed vertebrae,group A) while the unipedicular PKP for the other 22 (24 compressed vertebrae,group B).The 2 groups were compatible,showing no significant differences in preoperative clinical data (P ＞ 0.05).The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time,fluoroscopy frequency,volune of injected cement,cement leakage,and cobb angle,anterior vertebral height,visual analogue scale (VAS) score,Oswestry disability index (ODI),SF-36 score,and cement filling preoperatively,3 days and one year postoperatively.Results All the patients had an uneventful operation and were followed up for at least one year.Compared with group B,group A reported significantly shorter operation time,lower fluoroscopy frequency,less cement leakage,better cement filling,and a lower rate of fracture of adjacent vertebra (all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with preoperation,all the patients obtained significant improvements in cobb angle,anterior vertebral height,VAS score,ODI,and SF-36 score after operation (all P ＜ 0.05),but there were no significant differences between the 2 groups in terms of the above items postoperatively (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Both of the 2 methods are safe and effective treatments of OVCF,but the uni-extrapedicular PKP may be more advantageous because it leads to shorter operation time and lower fluoroscopy frequency.

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
