Objective:To analyze the predilection of metastasis at levels Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ, Ⅳ,Ⅴfor oral and maxillary squamous cell carcinoma on different primary sites .Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of the records of 1 233 patients ( 1 340 necks ) from January 2000 to December 2011 with squamous cell carcinoma simultaneously underwent primary tumor resection and neck dissection in De -partment of Oral and Maxillary Surgery , Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology .The to-pography of positive neck node was recorded , and the calculation was performed for the metastasis rate of levels Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴbased on the primary site , respectively .Results:There were 557 necks with positive node (41.57%), and the metastasis rate for level Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, and Ⅴ were 27.61%, 22.91%, 9.18%, 4.99%, 3.24%, respectively.Those in level Ⅲ were at high risk for metastasis from carcinoma of tongue and the floor of mouth .The positive rate in level Ⅱwas more than that in levelⅠfor tongue carcinoma , but for inferior gingiva carcinoma , bucca carcinoma , upper gingiva carcinoma , palatine carcinoma , maxillary sinuse carcinoma , intraosseous carcinoma of mandibular , the positive node was more likely to happen at level Ⅰcompared with level Ⅱ.Conclusion: Most metastases happen in levels Ⅰ-Ⅲfor patients with oral and maxillary squamous cell carcinoma , but the predilection of metas-tasis in level Ⅰ,ⅡorⅢis varied with the primary sites .

Objective:To investigate the Level Ⅳ metastasis risk factor of oral cancer patient's ipsilateral neck. Methods:The medical records of 624 cases (644 sides of the neck) that underwent neck dissection at the time of primary surgery for oral carcinoma were included. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were performed to determine the factors associated with LevelⅣmetas-tasis. Results:Out of 334 cases (345 neck sides) with positive lymph nodes, only 35 sides (5.43%, 35/644) showed LevelⅢinvolve-ment and only 4 sides (0.62%, 4/644) developed skip metastasis (LevelⅢ). The metastatic rate of LevelⅣwas 1.31%(4/303) for pN-LevelsⅠ-Ⅲnecks and 9.14%(31/341) for pN+LevelsⅠ-Ⅲnecks. Using Chi-square test, pN+LevelsⅠ-Ⅲlymph node metastases were associated with the LevelⅣnodal metastases. For necks with pN+LevelⅢ, with three positive Levels among LevelsⅠ-Ⅲ, and with positive lymph node≥3 among LevelsⅠ-Ⅲ, the LevelⅣmetastasis rates were 22.47%(20/89), 28.57%(10/35), and 14.60%(20/137), respectively. Furthermore, logistic regression was applied to identify the relationship between the metastasis situation of the afore-mentioned three Levels and LevelⅣ. Three positive Levels among LevelsⅠ-Ⅲ(pN+LevelⅠ+pN+LevelⅡ+pN+LevelⅢ) were confirmed to correlate with the presence of the positive lymph nodes in LevelⅣ. Conclusion:In oral cancer patients, LevelsⅠ-Ⅲmetastaces will increase the risk of LevelⅣmetastasis.

Objective To reveal the distribution and effects of peripheral nerve axolemma ion channels in experimental allergic neuritis(EAN).Methods The alteration of Na+ and K+ channels on peripheral nerves(PNs) in the course of EAN was observed and the relationship between the channels and nerve conduction properties was analyzed by assessing histology and electrophysiology of PNs as well as clinical severity.Results Na+ and K+ channels obviously decreased on day 9 post immunization(p.i.),a time point of disease onset,and quickly became undetectable in next two weeks.Undergoing a slow and incomplete regeneration,neither of the channels regained the normal appearance on day 85 p.i.even if the clinical symptom disappeared several weeks before.Na+ and K+ channels had a synchronous development during disease course and remained a close correlation with the alteration of paranodal myelin.Electrophysiological abnormality kept consistent with the disturbance of PNs just in the acute period of EAN(9-23d p.i.) and the compound muscle action potential(CMAP) amplitude partly reflected the distribution of axolemma ion channels.Conclusion Loss of axolemma ion channels of PNs might be one of the reasons directly leading to the early symptoms of EAN.As a structural component,the channels were liable to damage and difficult to restore.The clustering and maintenance of the channels were closely related with the specialized paranodal myelin.

Objective To observe the effect of intravesical chemotherapy in papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential (PUNLMP) urinary bladder after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-Bt). Methods 44 cases of PUNLMP confirmed by pathological examination from Jan 2004 to Dec 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical manifestation: 24 asymptomatic, 19 gross hematuria and 1 abdominal discomfort. All cases were treated by TUR-Bt and immediately administered by intravesical instillation of 40 mg HCPT once, then 32 cases (A group) underwent additional intravesical instillation of HCPT once, and 12 cases (B group) underwent instillation qw for 8 times. Results PUNLMP cases accouted for 2.28 %(44/1 926) of bladder neoplasms admitted during the same period. There were 32 males and 12 females. 39 patients had multiple tumors, and 5 had single. All of cases were followed up with the medial follow-up time of 82 months (16-136 months), only one case in B group recurred after 14 months, and postoperatively without pathological progression. The difference of recurrence rates between two groups had no statistical significance (P=0.273). Conclusions PUNLMP has low incidence rate and is more common among middle-aging males. Doctors should consider PUNLMP when patients with bladder neoplasm are asymptomatically detected. Immediate instillation combined with additional one postoperatively could reduce the recurrence rate of PUNLMP obviously with satisfying prognosis. However, maintenance instillation does not enhance effect.

ObjectiveTo study the treatment and prognosis of the breast phyllodes tumors.MethodsKG1Clinical data, and the results of follow-up in 203 cases of breast phyllodes tumors were analyzed using Logistic analysis and Cox regression in SPSS statistic software.ResultWT5”BZLocal recurrence and tumor mortality were in direct proportion to the pathologic grade of the tumor. There was a direct proportion between local recurrence and tumor infiltration; and between tumor caused-mortality and tumor mitosis and necrosis.Mitotic activity and tumor necrosis were the independent prognostic factors. After surgical resection 21 1% of patients with benign tumor, 45 2% of patients with borderline tumor, 64 3% of patients with malignant tumor suffered recurrence. The 5-year survival rate was 100% in patients with benign phyllodes tumor, 92 0% with borderline tumor, and 33 3% with malignance.KG2Conclusion Local excision is not the appropriate treatment for phyllodes tumor. Patients with benign or borderline phyllodes tumor should undergo wide local excision including a margin of uninvolved tissue, and that with local recurrent borderline and malignant phyllodes tumor receive mastectomy.

Objective To study the effect of magnetic stimulation on the expression of B cell lymphoma/leukemia gene 2 ( Bcl-2 ) and caspase-3 genes, and the apoptosis of neurons in rats with spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods Sixty rats were randomly divided into a magnetic stimulation group, a model group and a sham-operation group. An SCI model was established in the magnetic stimulation and model groups. The magnetic stimulation was applied at the 6th, 12th, 24th and 72nd hour after the operation to the rats in the magnetic stimulation group, and sham magnetic stimulation was given to the model group and sham-operation group rats at the same time points. Two hours after treatment, 5 rats of each group were sacrificed and their injured spinal cords were sectioned. The gene expressions were detected using immunohistochemical techniques, and apoptosis of neurons was observed by the TUNEL method. Results Few apoptotic cells were found in the sham-operation group, but more were found in the model group. Apoptotic cells in the magnetic stimulation group were significantly fewer than in the model group. The expression of both Bcl-2 and caspase-3 in the magnetic stimulation and model groups was significantly higher than in the sham-operation group at the different time points. Expression of Bcl-2 in the magnetic stimulation group was significantly higher than in the model group, but expression of caspase-3 in the magnetic stimulation group was significantly lower than in the model group. Conclusions Magnetic stimulation up-regulates the expression of Bcl-2 genes and down-regulates the expression of caspase-3 in injured neurons. Magnetic stimulation might have protective and rehabilitative effects after human SCI.

Objective:To explore the effect of motivational interview combined with feedback teaching on active cycle of breathing technique(ACBT) training in lung cancer patients.Methods:A total of 632 patients with lung cancer undergoing radical resection from September 2017 to March 2019 in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were selected and divided into the experimental group and the control group with 316 cases in each group by operation time. The experimental group received motivational interview combined with feedback teaching education, while the control group received routine education. The patients were followed up for 2 months. The compliance and accuracy of ACBT training, self-care ability, sputum discharge and incidence of pulmonary complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The sputum volume in the control group was (6.25±2.44), (9.28±2.63), (10.33±3.15) g in the control group and (8.74±4.17),(13.87±3.19),(14.18±4.16) g in the experimental group at 1, 2, 3 days after operation, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t values were -1.149, -2.316, -4.124, P<0.01 or 0.05). There were 56 cases(17.72%) of pulmonary complications in the control group and 33 cases (10.44%) in the experimental group. The difference in the incidence of pulmonary complications between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 4.743, P<0.01).Two months after operation, the compliance and accuracy of ACBT training in the experimental group were better than those in the control group ( χ2 values were - 4.57, - 2.15, P<0.01).The improvement in the four dimensions after intervention in the experimental group were better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 8.314-19.719, P<0.01). Conclusions:The motivational interview combined with feedback teaching is an effective method of health education, which is conducive to improving lung cancer patients' compliance and accuracy of postoperative ACBT training, improving patients' self-care ability, promoting the discharge of patients' sputum and reducing the incidence of pulmonary complications to promote the recovery of lung function.

ObjectiveTo assess the effectiveness of tele-medicine and self-management goal(SMG) setting technique used in the diabetes management in the community setting.Methods It is a control-group study.415 type 2 diabetic residents were recruited from the Shanghai Wuliqiao community based on existing medical records.The subjects were divided into two groups,the study group was cared by general practitioners (GPs) specialists cooperation through the tele-medicine mechanism,the other was a control group.For the study group,a cooperation pathway between community health care centers and general hospitals were established.Standardized training and guidelines were provided to community health workers,regarding the setting of management goals of blood glucose and blood pressure,treatment plan,patient education,and SMG techniques.Fasting blood glucose ( FBG ) and 2 h postprandial blood glucose (2hBG) in the study group were monitored,followed by community health workers visiting monthly with seminars for diabetes education.At the baseline and the 12tb month,FBG,2hBG,HbA1C,blood pressure,triglyceride,total cholesterol,body mass index,waist-hip ratio were determined in each group.A survey was conducted to evaluate the costs of diabetes treatments,the knowledge base related to their disease,lifestyle,and the awareness of the new care model.The rates of achieving the goal of blood glucose,blood pressure,and HbA1Ccontrol were calculated.Internet case discussion between GPs-Specialists and referral to certain specialists were implemented when some patients did not reach the control goal.ResultsBy the 12 month follow up,FBG,2hBG,HbAIc,blood pressure of the study group were lower than the baseline,and as well as the control group with statical significance (P＜0.05).There are other improvcments:diabetes knowledge (29.1％ vs 5.5％ ),healthy diet (9.6％ vs -10.4％ ),blood glucose monitoring (30.3％ vs 10.8％ ),support for diabetes care in community (35.7％ vs 9.4％ ),and the preference of the new model (63.8％ vs 17.9％ ) with statistical significauce (P＜0.01 ).As for the medical costs,the study group's monthly costs were consistently lower than the control's.( -3.39Yuan vs 32.26 Yuan,P＜0.05).ConclusionsThe new diabetes care model based on GPs-Specialists tele-medicine and SMG in community opens the door to the community based care model formulation in regard to the health quality and costs control.The deployment of more technologies and management techniques could be explored further to improve the outcomes of community based chronic disease care model.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the risk factor for metastasis in Level IV of ipsilateral neck in tongue cancer patients.

METHODSA total of 248 tongue caner paitents (255 necks) that underwent radical neck dissection was enrolled in the study. Chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis were used to determine the factors associated with metastasis in Level IV. The variable included age, sex, growth type, T stage, histopathological grade, Level III involvement, number of positive lymph nodes in Levels I-III.

RESULTSOut of 147 cases (152 necks) with positive lymph node, 21 necks (8.2%, 21/255) had Level III involvement, and 2 necks (0.8%, 2/255) developed skip metastasis. Chi-square test showed that age (P = 0.020), Level III involvement (P = 0.000), number of positive Level (≥ 2 Levels) in Levels I-III (P = 0.006), and number of positive lymph node (≥ 3 nodes) in Levels I-III (P = 0.000) were identified as independent risk factor. Logistic regression analysis revealed that only Level III involvement (P = 0.003) was the risk factor for metastasis in Level IV.

CONCLUSIONSIn tongue cancer patients, Level III involvement was a high risk factor for metastasis in Level IV.

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of intravitreal injection of conbercept in the treatment of proliferatived diabetic retinophathy (PDR) complicated with vitreous hemorrhage by minimally invasive vitreoretinal surgery.Methods:Prospective clinical study. A total of 50 patients with PDR complicated with vitreous hemorrhage clinically diagnosed in Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital who needed vitrectomy were recruited in this study. According to the principle of informed consent, the patients were divided into two groups: postoperative injection group and the control group. Twenty-five eyes of 25 patients in each group were examined before operation. No significant proliferative changes in the posterior pole and traction retinal detachment were observed. There was significant difference of age between two groups ( t=-24.697, P=0.030), but no significant difference of sex ( χ2=0.330, P=0.564), duration of diabetes ( t=-1.144, P=0.258), logMAR BCVA ( t=-0.148, P=0.883), lens state ( χ2=0.397, P=0.529), panretinal laser photocoagulation ( χ2=1.333, P=0.248). The postoperative injection group was treated with intravitreous injection of 0.05 ml conbercept (10 mg/ml) immediately after 27G minimally invasive vitrectomy. The other treatment and follow-up were the same as those in the postoperative injection group except for conbercept injection. All patients underwent routine slit-lamp examination, indirect ophthalmoscope and B-ultrasound examination before operation. The main outcome measure included the time of operation, the incidence rate of iatrogenic retinal holes and silicone oil filling. The recurrence of vitreous hemorrhage, BCVA, intraocular pressure, central retinal thickness (CRT), postoperative complications and progression were recorded 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation. Results:At 1 week and 1, 3, 6 months after operation, there was significant difference of logMAR BCVA between the two groups ( t=-4.980, -4.840, -4.892, -5.439; P<0.001). At 3 and 6 months after operation, the recurrence of vitreous hemorrhage in the postoperative injection group was lower than that in the control group, but there was no statistical difference between two groups ( χ2=3.030, 4.153; P=0.192, 0.103). At 1 week and 1, 3, 6 months after operation, the CRT in the postoperative injection group was lower than that in the control group, the difference was significant ( t=-2.622, -2.638, -3.613, -3.037; P=0.012, 0.010, 0.001, 0.004, 0.005). There was no complications such as choroid detachment, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, retinal detachment, iris redness and neovascular glaucoma in all the eyes after operation. Conclusions:Intravitreal injection of conbercept in the treatment of PDR after operation is safe and effective. It can reduce the recurrence of vitreous hemorrhage after vitrectomy, improve the BCVA.
