Objective To compare the effect and survival period of endoscopic treatment group and non endoscopic treatment group of esophageal gastric varices bleeding in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and portal vein tumor thrombus, in order to define the significance of endoscopic therapy for prolonging the survival period of patients. Methods 76 patients diagnosed as esophageal gastric varices bleeding with hepatocellular carcinoma and portal vein tumor thrombus from Jan. 2013 to Dec. 2015 were enrolled, of all these cases, 27 were non endoscopic treatment group and 49 were endoscopic treatment group. The medical records were analyzed retrospectively. Then compare the effect of emergency treatment, the main causes of death and survival time of the two groups. Results In the non endoscopic treatment group, 40.7% (11/27) patients died in one week after bleeding, 81.5% (22/27) patients died of esophageal gastric varices bleeding, the mean survival period was (42.03 ± 13.94) days; In the endoscopic treatment group, only 16.3% (8/49) patients died in one week (P < 0.05), 55.1% (27/49) patients died of esophageal gastric varices bleeding (P < 0.05), the mean survival time was (174.24 ± 34.42) days (P < 0.05). Conclusions Endoscopic therapy can effectively reduce the risk of death from acute hemorrhage and prolong the survival time in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and portal vein tumor thrombus.

A sophisticated effort is made to uplift the clinical nursing quality in hospitals, which aims at improving hospital nursing quality by means of enhancing the management functionality of the nursing department, enhancing nursing systems, implementing clinical paths, and quality service campaigns. These efforts are designed to effectively improve hospital nursing quality.

Prostate cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of the urinary system and mostly found in elderly men. Like most tumors, prostate cancer involves a variety of molecules in its occurrence and progression. More studies on the development of prostate cancer focus on the tumor markers, DNA damage repair related genes, and tumor invasion and metastasis related factors. This article presents an overview on the research progress in these three aspects.

Objective　This study was To investigate the incidence rate of Cockett syndrome and relationship between Cockett syndrome and varicose veins and deep venous incompetence of the left lower extremities.Methods　73 patients(100 legs) with varicose veins of the lower extremities were investigated by descending deep venography and iliography preoperatively.Results　There were 35(47.9%) cases with abnormalities of the left common iliac vein (ALCIV)in all the cases.There were 31 cases with this conditions in the patients with varicose veins of the left or both lower extremity.While in the patients with varicose veins of the only right lower extremity,there were only 4 cases with ALCIV.In contrast,there was a significant difference between groups(χ2=9.8641,P=0.0017).In the patients with ALCIV,14 cases with Ⅲ or Ⅳ grade of deep venous incomptence were found, and only 6 cases with deep venous incompetence in the patients without ALCIV.There was a significant difference(χ2=5.3688,P=0.0205).Conclusion　Cockett's syndrome frequently occurs in varicose veins of the left lower extremity.There is a relationship between them.Cockett's syndrome might be one of the causes for the deep venous incompetence of the left leg.

Objective To explore the changes and relationship of serum insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) and leptin in children with growth hormone deficiency(GHD).Method Serum IGF-1 and leptin levels were measured by immunoradiometric assay in 20 prepuberal normal children and 23 children with GHD.Results Serum IGF-1 level in GHD group(51.158?29.988)?g/L was significantly lower than that in controls(112.680?41.540)?g/L.Serum leptin levels in GHD group(6.002?2.204)?g/L was significantly higher than that in controls(4.523?2.204)?g/L.There was no significant correlation between serum IGF-1 and leptin.Conclusion IGF-1 and leptin regulate growth in children with GHD in their individual way.

Objective To assess long-term outcomes of electrocoagulation for treating varicose veins of the lower extremities. Methods A retrospective review was made on clinical data of 426 cases of varicose veins of the lower extremities treatd by electrocoagulation from October 1996 to October 2001.Postoperative follow-ups were carried out with clinic checkups or questionnaires.Results Of the 426 cases,follow-ups for 4~9 years(mean,5.8 years) were completed in 364 cases(500 limbs) and a loss to follow-up was encountered in 62 cases,the follow-up rate being 85.4%.The cumulative rate of recurrent varicose veins was 10.4%(52/500),in which the recurrent varicose veins were cured with sclerosing agents in 50 limbs and with re-operations in 2 limbs.The relief rate of sensation of heaviness and tension was 95.1%(309/325).Accompanying venous ulcers in 20 limbs healed up within 2~8 weeks.The incidences of subcutaneous hematoma and saphenous nerve injury were 0.8%(5/594) and 1.2%((7/594),) respectively.Skin burns happened in 5 limbs(0.8%,5/594). Conclusions Electrocoagulation for varicose veins of the lower extremities is proved to be a novel minimally invasive method,with advantages of safety,effectiveness,low costs,and short hospital stay.
