Objective To study the effects of different factors influencing the quality of life of elderly esophageal cancer patients who returned to the community after surgery.Methods A total of 216 elderly esophageal cancer patients with complete clinical data who had returned to the community after surgery were followed up by questionnaires,including the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life rating (EORTC QLQ-C30) and esophageal cancer supplementary (QLQ-OES18) scales.Results The overall quality of life score of the patients was (35.2±22.1),which was lower than that in the Norwegian norm data.Scores for cognitive function,constipation,diarrhea,shortness of breath and loss of appetite were similar to those in the norm data.Scores for physical function,emotional function,role function and were lower than those in the norm data,while scores for pain,fatigue,nausea and vomiting,sleeplessness and were higher than those in the norm data.The overall quality of life score was higher in male patients than in female patients (F =5.12,P=0.029),in patients with spouses than in those without spouses (F=5.61,P=0.016),and in patients without complications than in those with complications (F=5.48,P=0.002).The overall quality of life was higher with longer survival times after surgery (F=3.68,P=0.003).No significant difference in the overall quality of life score was found between different age-groups (F=4.23,P=0.212).Conclusions The overall postoperative life quality is poor in community elderly patients with esophageal carcinoma.Gender,marital status,postoperative survival time,and complications are among the factors influencing postoperative quality of life of community elderly patients with esophageal carcinoma.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of Xisui Huangu Formula combined with technetium [99Tc] methylenediphosphonate injection in the treatment of avascular necrosis of femoral head (ANFH). Methods A total of 73 patients were randomly divided into treatment group (37 cases) and control group (36 cases). The control group was given conventional western medicine treatment, while the treatment group was given Xisui Huangu Formula on the basis of conventional western medicine treatment. Clinical symptoms and joint function of the two groups were observed before and after treatment, and the clinical effects were compared. Results In the treatment group, 17 cases were cured, 17 cases improved, 3 cases were unrecovered, and the effective rate was 91.89%. In the control group, 4 cases were cured, 25 cases improved, 7 cases were unrecovered, and the effective rate was 80.56%. The difference was statistically significant between the two groups (P<0.05). Improvement of joint pain, lameness, dysfunction, and joint function in the treatment group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Xisui Huangu Formula can significantly improve clinical symptoms of ANFH. Integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy is helpful to alleviate ANFH disease progression.

Objective To determine the clinical effect of Iodized Lecithin Capsules in the treatment of vitre-ous hemorrhage.Methods 102 patients ( 102 eyes ) with vitreous hemorrhage were divide into Group A ( treatment group) and Group B ( control group);the treatment for Group A with 52 patients (52 eyes) is taken Iodized Lecithin Capsules orally;for Group B with 50 patients (50 eyes),it was the prolonium iodide through intramuscular injection. The course of treatment for both Group A and B was 3 months and all the patients in the two groups receive systemic diseases treatment and etiological treatment at the same time.The clinical effects of both groups will be compared. Results The effective rate for Group A was 82.7% whereas the figure for Group B was 64.0%.The differences between the two groups had statistical significance(χ2 =4.58,P <0.05).Conclusion By taking Iodized Lecithin Capsules orally is a very effective way to treat vitreous hemorrhage without obvious side effects.The treatment is safe and effective.

Objective To investigate the easement degree of pain after the treatment of low back pain patients in 6 months after the operation.Methods To treat lumbar degenerative osteoarthritis (21cases),lumbar disc herniation(31 cases),Lumbar spinal stenosis assompanied with lumbar disc herniation(1 cases) with percutaneous radiofrequency-ablation,compare the JOA,VAS,Oswestry score of the patients before and at the just after operation,2 weeks,6weeks,3 months,6 months after operation.Results The JOA score of patients after operation rise obviously than that of patients before operation,and VAS and Oswestry score reduce obviously,they all have statiscal significance(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The pain of patients who suffered from discogenic low back pain,lumbar disc herniation is relieved by percutaneous radiofrequency-ablation,the quality of patients'life is heightened,all of above indicate that the treatment is an effective method for discogenic low back pain,lumber disc herniation.

Thrombospondin-1 expresses in a variety of tumors and induces endothelial cell apoptosis,thus inhibits tumor angiogenesis and prevents tumor growth.It function domain ( Type I sequence):3TSR,retaines the function of inhibit angiogenesis,has the certain practical significance in clinical cancer treatment.

Objective: To investigate the effects of supplementing multivitamins on the growth and development of children. Methods: A total of 24 000 children (6 8 years old) from Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou were divided into 2 groups. One group was given multivitamin tablets and another was without any treatment for 12 weeks. Each tablet contains VA 5 000 IU, VD 400 IU,VE 30 IU,VB 1 1.5 mg,VB 2 1.7 mg,niacin 20 mg,VB 6 2 mg,VB 12 6 ?g,folic acid 0.4 mg and VC 60 mg. Height, body weight, skinfold thickness, mid arm muscle circumference and serum VA, 25 OHD 3, Hb, IgA,IgG and IgM were measured before and after supplementing multivitamins.VB 1, VB 2 and VC were evaluated by four hours loading test. Results: It was found that vitamin deficiencies, especially that of VA, VB 2 and VB 1, existed in the children. After supplement, the net increase of height and weight was significantly higher than that of control group. Levels of serum VA, 25 OHD 3 and Hb in supplemented group were significantly increased and the urinary excretion of VB 1, VB 2 and VC was also significantly increased in supplemented group. Conclusion: The results indicate that the multivitamins is conductive to improvement of vitamin status and nutritional anemia, and to growth and development. It is necessary for children with routine diet to supplement multivitamins. [

Objective To study the association of sex, body mass index and insulin resistance with serum leptin in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods one hundred and eight patients were divided into two groups according to BMI: diabetic obese group and diabetic normal BMI group.Their weight and height were measured. Fasting plasma glucose(FPG),fasting true insulin(FTI),postprandial true insulin(PTI),and fasting serum leptin(LEP) were also measured. ISI=1/(FPG?FTI) as insulin sensitivity index were used to analyse the relation between leptin and insulin resistance. Results ⑴The serum leptin,body mass index,FTI and PTI were significantly higher in diabetic obese group than diabetic normal BMI group. ISI was significantly lower in diabetic obese group than diabetic normal BMI group. ⑵Female serum leptin levels were significantly higher than male serum leptin levels in diabetic obese group and diabetic normal BMI group. ⑶Fasting leptin was correlated with sex. Leptin was positively corrected with body mass index,FTI and was negatively corrected with ISI. Serum leptin wasn't correlated with FPG. Conclusin Serum leptin level is associated with sex,BMI and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes.
