Adenoid cystic carcinoma(ACC) of the salivary gland constitutes approximately 21.9%-24.0% of all salivary gland malignant tumors,and is described as a tumor with indolent,but persistent and recurrent,growth and late onset of metastases,leading eventually to death.This review focuses on the advances in the studies of the diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis of ACC in the recent years.

ObjectiveTo explore the changes of serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF),interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF- α ) levels,and the relationship with creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) in children with viral myocarditis induced by coxsackie virus type B,and its clinical significance.MethodsSerum MIF,IL-6 and TNF- α levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 58 cases with viral myocarditis induced by coxsackie virus type B in acute phase (viral myocarditis group) and 40 cases hospitalized children (control group).CK-MB was measured by Hitachi 7180 fully automated clinical chemistry analyzer.ResultsSerum MIF,IL-6 and TNF-o levels of viral myocarditis group [ (59.15 ± 25.35 ),(68.52 ± 12.78 ),(85.31 ± 34.18) ng/L] were significantly higher than those of control group [ ( 36.78 ± 12.06 ),( 28.75 ± 16.03 ),( 52.91 ± 14.39 ) ng/L ] (P ＜ 0.01 ),and CK-MB of viral myocarditis group [(46.74 ± 23.89) U/L] was also significantly higher than that of control group [ ( 19.23 ± 11.56 ) U/L ] (P ＜ 0.01 ).There was positive correlation in children with viral myocarditis between MIF,IL-6,TNF- α and CK-MB (r =0.74,0.63,0.69,P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionsIt suggests that immune dysfunction exist in children with viral myocarditis induced by coxsackie virus type B.MIF,IL-6 and TNF- αmight take part in development of myocarditis,and the detection of them can evaluate severity of myocarditis.

Objective To explore the rising degree of hemodiastase,lipase and the relationship with acute pancreatitis with diabetic ketoacidosis(DKA).Methods 36 diabetic ketoacidosis patients with increased trypsin were divided into non pancreatitis group(20 cases)and pancreatitis group(16 cases)based on the results of abdominal CT.And the blood amylase,urine amylase,blood fat enzyme levels of the two groups were measured and compard.Results The blood amylase of the pancreatitis group was(275.0±10.5)U/L,and that of pancreatitis group was(615.4±17.8)U/L,the difference between two groups was obvious(P＜0.01);The blood lipase of pancreatitis group was(2125.0±50.4)U/L,and that of pancreatitis group was(2021.0±19.8)U/L,there was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The blood amylase and abdominal CT results compliance high.Conclusion Pure DKA can cause diabetes pancreatic enzyme increases,and in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis,the specificity of blood amylase is high.

Objective To explore the serum lactic acid,transaminase and their relationship with liver pathological damage in sepsis rats,whether a correlation exists between serum lactate clearance rate and transaminase in sepsis rats,and whether they can be used as indicators for the prediction and evaluation of septic rats liver injury.Methods A total of 150 clean Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats was divided into normal group (n =50),sham operated group (n =50),and the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) (n =50).Ten rats were killed after successful surgery at the 6th,12th,24th,48th,and 72nd hour in CLP group,respectively.At each time point,10 normal rats and 10 sham-operated rats were taken as a control in the corresponding time point.The liver tissue was obtained for pathological analysis.The levels of lactate and liver transaminase were detected and the lactate clearance rate was calculated.The levels of lactate and transaminase at each time point were statistically compared.The correlation analysis was performed among serum lactate,transaminase,and liver damage pathological changes.Results The rat hepatocytes in CLP group begin to appear at the 6th hour,and the damage was gradually enhanced at the 12th,24th,and 48th,and up to the worst damage at the 48th time point.The levels of lactate and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)in CLP group at the 12th and 24th hour were significantly elevated compared with the normal and sham operation groups (P ＜0.05); The level of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in CLP group at the 6th,12th,24th,48th,and 72nd hour was significantly elevated compared with the normal and sham operation groups (P ＜ 0.05).A positive correlation was found between the levels of ALT and lactate (r =0.766,P ＜0.05),and a negative correlation was found between lactate clearance rate and ALT (r =-0.712,P ＜0.05).Conclusions In septic rats,both lactate and lactate clearance rate were correlated with ALT,and they were correlated with liver pathological damage.The level of lactate,lactate clearance rate,and ALT could be used as the key indicators to predict liver damage in septic rats.

Objective:To observe the clinical treatment effects of Tangkang Xifang in the patients with type 0 diabetes foot ( DF) . Methods:Totally 73 patients with type 0 DF were randomly divided into the treatment group (n=37) and the control group (n=36). All the patients discontinued other medications for 7d before the treatment. Base on the blood glucose control with the traditional treat-ment by metformin hydrochloride (1. 5 g·d-1), the treatment group was additionally given warm water foot bath with Tangkang Xi-fang, while the control group was additionally given warm water foot bath, 30 min per time and twice a day for 60 days. The changes in the clinical symptoms, ankle brachial index ( ABI) , motor nerve conduction velocity ( MCV) and some other indices were measured before and after the treatment. Results:In comparison with the control group (58. 3%), the treatment group had higher total effective rate (86. 5%), and the usage of Tangkang Xifang also significantly improved the physiopathologic syndromes of peripheral artery dis-ease and neuropathy (P<0. 01). The ABI and MCV in the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion:Tangkang Xifang can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of type 0 DF, which is suitable for the clinical application.
