Objective To observe the adverse reactions of acute stage and late stage in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients after radiotherapy.Methods 89 patients were investigated in the outpatient department by form.The median follow-up time was 3 years (2-23 years).Results In the acute stage,the ratios of serious xerostomia [78.7 ％(70/89)],the ear reaction [66.3 ％ (59/89)] and nose impairment [64.0 ％ (57/89)] were very high.In the late stage 79.8 ％ (71/89) patients developed radioactive tympanitis,in which 53.9 ％ (48/89) patients induced hearing loss,42.7 ％ (38/89) patients developed dry nose or nasal excessive discharge.The rate of serious xerostomia was 11.2 ％ (10/89),66.3 ％(59/89) patients suffered from superficial and more serious caries.Conclusion The rates of the radioactive tympanitis and caries stayed high in the late stage of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients after radiotherapy.Concurreut chemoradiotherapy is probable to increase or aggravate the incidence of adverse reactions in the acute stage,but don’t show an effect on the late stage reaction.

Objective To investigate the expression of interleukin-17 (IL-17) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and their relationship with pTNM staging.Methods IL-17 and MMP-9 expressions in cancer and adjacent tissues were detected from 102 cases of NSCLC by immunohistochemistry.x2 test was used to compare the ratio of their relationship with the pTNM stage.Results IL-17,MMP-9 expression rates in NSCLC cancer were 73.53 ％ (75/102),60.78 ％ (62/102)respectively,IL-17,MMP-9 expressions in different TNM stages were statistically significant correlated (P ＜ 0.05) respectively.The expression of IL-17 and MMP-9 in NSCLC tumor tissue were related statistically (P ＜ 0.05),and adjacent tissues were not related (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion IL-17,MMP-9 in NSCLC tissues were significant increased,both may be involved in invasion and metastasis of NSCLC,IL-17 and MMP-9 were correlated in NSCLC tumor tissue but not in adjacent tissues.

Objective To investigate the effect of rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg(ED95)for anesthesia induclion on monitoring of recurrent laryngeal nerve in patients undergoing thyroid surgery.Methods Seventy-five patients,ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ,aged 20-70 yr,weighing 50-85 kg,scheduled for thyroid surgery,were randomly divided into two groups:rocuronium group(groupⅠ,n=38)and sevoflurane group(group Ⅱ,n =37).Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 2 mg,propofol 2 mg/kg,sulfentanil 0.5 ug/kg.After loss of eyelash reflex,group Ⅰ received rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg(ED95)and was intubated with the electromyographic(EMG)endotracheal tube under glidescope al 2 min after rocuronium administration.Group Ⅱ received sevoflurane inhalation and was endotracheal intubated with EMG tube until end-tidal sevoflurane concentration achieved 4％.Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of sevoflurane in both groups.SP,DP,and HR were monitored continuously through the surgery.Cooper's score and the success of attempt at endotracheal intubation were recorded.Recurrent laryngeal nerve evoked EMG was recorded by neuromonitoring and the amplitude of EMG responses was recorded at 5 min intervals from 30 min to 70 min of surgery duration.Results SP,DP and HR remained within normal range in both groups.The success rates of endotracheal intubation were 100％ in both groups,but the Cooper' s score of group Ⅰ was significantly higher than that of group Ⅱ(P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group Ⅱ,the amplitude of EMG respouses was significantly decreased in group Ⅰ(P ＜ 0.05).However,the EMG response in group Ⅰ was adequate for neuromonitoring of recurrent laryngeal nerve.Conclusion Rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg(ED95)for anesthesia induction can not only provide satisfied endotracheal intubation conditions,but also be adequate for monitoring of recurrent laryngeal nerve in patients undergoing thyroid surgery.

Objective To explore the methods of thoracoscopic intrapleural perfusion hyperthermic chemotherapy(TIPHC)on diagnosing and treating malignant pleural effusion caused by lung cancer,as well as its effect.Methods From February 1999 to March 2006,seventy patients with malignant pleural effusion caused by lung cancer were randomly divided into therapeutic group(35 cases)and control group(35 cases).Pleural biopsy and TIPHC under general anesthesia with unilateral ventilation were performed in the therapeutic group,and intrapleural injection of cisplatin was administered in the control group after drainage of pleural effusion.The effect on malignant pleural effusion,the change for the concentration of carcino-embryonic antigen(CEA),cytokeratin-19 fragments(CYFRA21-1),neuron-specific enolase(NSE)and the side effect were compared before and after the treatment.Results The therapeutic group achieved total response rate of 100%,but only 54.3% in the control group,with significant difference(P

AIMTo investigate the effects of prostaglandin E 1 on apoptosis induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocy tes. METHODSThe models of hypoxia/reoxygenation were made with t he first generation of cultured cardiomyocytes. Hypoxia/reoxygenation apoptosis in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes was studied by agarose gel electrophores is and Tdt-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL). Bcl-2 and bax mRNA were det ected by in situ hybridization. RESULTSThe results of DNA electr ophoresis in the H/R group showed the typical DNA ladder. And the DNA ladder decreased gradually corresponding to the increased dose of PGE 1. The TUNEL staining showed that the total number of apo ptotic cells in the H/R group was much biger than that in PGE 1(0 127 ?mol?L -1 ) group. The results of in situ hybridization showed that the conten t of bcl-2 mRNA in H/R group was lower than control. And the content of bax mRN A showed a reverse result as bcl-2 mRNA. Compared with H/R group, the content o f bcl-2 mRNA was significantly higher after treatment with PGE 1(0 014 ?mol ?L -1 , 0 042 ?mol?L -1 , 0 127 ?mol?L -1 ). But the content of bax mRNA in PGE 1(0 014 ?mol?L -1 , 0 042 ?mol?L -1 , 0 127 ?mol?L -1 )groups was significantly lower than H/R group. CONCLUSI ONH/R injury can induce cardiomyocyte apoptosis. PGE 1 has obvious an ti-apoptotic effects on cardiomyocyte and the mechanisms are possibly by inhibi ting the expression of bax and increasing the expression of bcl-2.hein creaseddoseofPGE1 .TheTUNELstainingshowedthatthetotalnumberofapoptoticcellsintheH

Methods74 patients with chronic empyema were divided into experimental group and control group,control group was given decorticationoflung,and experimental group was given VATS. ResultsThe duration of chest tube drainage, hospitalization and complications in experimental group was significantly better than that in control group,it showed better clinical effect. ConclusionFor part of patients without the serious disease change of chronic empyema, if the surgery indication could be controlled strictly, the VATS was considerable.

ObjectiveTo study the relationship between depression and physical self and related factors of head and neck cancer patients (HNCPs).MethodsOne hundred and twenty-eight HNCPs were assessed with self-rating depression scale,physical self scale,negative physical self scale and symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90).SPSS 16.0 was used to analyze the data.ResultsThe evaluation of appearance,sport characters and figure characters were significantly different between sexual groups,the average physical self scale level of the male patients was higher than that of the females (3.33 ± 0.56 vs.2.87 ± 0.32,P ＜ 0.05).The appearance,sport characters,figure characters and sexual characters of physical self-concept were significantly different between age groups,the body satisfaction scale from higher to lower were under 45 years old patients,beyond 60 years old,between 46 and 59 years old.ConclusionThe evaluation of appearance is reversely correlated with the score of SCL-90,the evaluation of short,appearance and fat in negative physical self are positively correlated with the score of SCL-90.

Objective To observe the effect of H shaped decalcified bone grafting on spinal fusion and anti conglutination by posterior approach and to evaluate its values in the application in spinal posterior approach surgery. Methods Total laminectomy was performed on 23 cases of severe spinal stenosis and 31 cases of intraspinal tumor for decompression. Thorough decompression of the nerve roots was performed on the former following total laminectomy while exploration and excision of the neoplasm were done on the latter. Then, H shaped decalcified bone grafts were inlaid between spinous processes and transverse processes to cover the lamina defection and overlap the adjacent segments in all cases. At last, the spinal internal fixation or plaster external fixation were used to stabilize vertebral segments according to the economic status of patients. The average time of follow up was 21 months (18～31 months). Results All patients got successful segmental spinal fusion within 8 months. Clinical symptoms were obviously alleviated in 43 cases at the end of follow up but symptoms recurred 12 months after operation in other 11 cases(all were tumor patients). Conclusion H shaped decalcified bone graft is valuable in spinal fusion and anti conglutination in spinal posterior approach surgery.

AIM To study the protective effects of prostaglandin E 1 on hypoxia/reoxygenation injury in cultured neonatal rat myocytes. METHODS The hypoxia/reoxygenation injury model of cultured neonatal rat myocardial cells was developed. The activities of plasma superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured by the method of xanthine oxidase and the contents of serum malonicaldehyde (MDA) were determined by the method of thiobarbituric acid. The activities of dehydrogenase in mitochondria were detected by MTT assay. The activities of LDH in culture were also evaluated. CONCLUSION PGE 1 has protective effects on the cultured neonatal rat myocardial cells injured by hypoxia/reoxygenation. The mechanisms are related to its antioxidation effects.
