To report a boy with reflex seizures induced by micturition.He suffered from seizures during micturition for four yesrs.The clinical symptoms consisted of head backwards,limbs dithering,sometimes accompanying tumble.During the episodes of the seizure,his consciousness did not lose.Few seizures showed only eyes up-staring for several seconds.The livelong process of micturition was often interrupted by seizures for several times.When he finished or stoped micturition,the seizures did not occur again.His seizures could not be induced by free of micturition or other stimulative factors.The interictal EEGs showed that background asymmetry manifested as the lower amplitude and irregular rhythm in the left hemisphere,sharp or sharp and waves in right hemisphere,especially mid and back temporal.There also had sharp,spike,and spike and waves in many regions of double spheres in interictal EEGs.The other assistant check-ups were normal.while this disease was infrenquncy,it would be worthy to regard.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatments of endometrioid carcinoma patients with preoperative diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia.Methods From 2005 to 2010, 404 patients were diagnosed with endometrioid carcinoma after hysterectomy.Among these patients,44 of them were diagnosed atypical endometrial hyperplasia(AEH) preoperatively.Retrospectively analysis the characteristics of these patients with SPSS13.0.Results Among the 44 cases, all of them were grade G1 disease, and 39 of them received comprehensive staging surgery.14(32%)young cases preserved bilateral ovaries.9 cases(20%) were given adjuvant radiology.No recurrence was detected during the median follow up of 52 months.Compared to the premenstrual group, although no statistical difference was detected, more patients with risk factors of deep myometrium invasion(4/22 vs 1/22) and lymph-vascular space invasion(LVSI, 3/22 vs 0/22) in the postmenstrual group.Compared to the patients who diagnosed with endometrioid cancer(EC) preoperatively, there are more patients with grade G1(P=0.000), fewer patients received adjuvant chemotherapy(P=0.003) and fewer recurrence(P=0.019) in AEH group.Conclusions The endomtrioid cancer patients who diagnosed with atypical hyperplasia preoperatively have better prognosis.Hysterectomy with bilateral ovaries preserved is acceptable in young patients.Post menopause patients have more risk factors of deep myometrium invasion and LVSI.

Objective To evaluate the expression of RAR-? gene in cervical carcinoma cell lines SiHa,HeLa,C33A and Caski and to analyze the relation between their gene expression and the promoter methylation of RAR-? DNA.Methods The expression of mRNA and protein of RAR-? gene in the four cell lines were analyzed by RT-PCR,western blot and immunofluoreseence,respectively.Methylation specific PCR(MSP)was used to check whether there was methylation in the promoter of RAR-? gene.The demethylating agent 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine(5-Aza-cdR)was used to treat methylated cell lines and the change of RAR-? gene methylation and RAR-? gene expression defects were observed.The cell proliferation was assayed with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method.Results The mRNA and protein expression levels of RAR-? in cell lines SiHa,HeLa,Caski and C33A were 0.25 ?0.08,0,0.60?0.19,3.12?0.92 and 0.23?0.07,0,0.14?0.05,0.68?0.21,respectively.The mRNA and protein expression of RAR-? in SiHa,HeLa and Caski cell lines were decreased or silenced, whereas its expression increased in C33A cell line.MSP method showed that there were RAR-? gene methylation in SiHa,HeLa and Caski cell lines,while there was no RAR-? gene methylation in C33A cell line.After treated with 5-Aza-cdR,the mRNA and protein expression levels of RAR-? in SiHa,HeLa, Caski and C33A cell lines were 1.82?0.59,2.13?0.62,1.67?0.43,2.95?0.89 and 0.69?0.21, 0.83?0.29,0.56?0.16,0.64?0.20 respectively.The mRNA and protein levels of RAR-? had a significant difference between before and after interference with 5-Aza-cdR in SiHa,Helm,and Caski cell lines(P0.05).The 5-Aza-cdR treatment could suppress cell proliferation.Conclusions The RAR-? gene expression defects play an important role in the carcinogenesis of cervical cancer.Aberrant methylation in promotor region of RAR-? gene may be an important mechanism for the loss of expression of RAR-? gene.

Objective To determine the prognostic significance of positive peritoneal cytology (PPC) among patients with endometrial cancer and to find out potential risk factors for PPC in endometrial cancer.Methods Data were extracted from Peking Union Medical College Hospital between Jan 1 2005 and Dec 31 2010.Only those patients who had undergone a staging procedure were included.A total of 486 patients were identified.Statistical analyses were performed using Fisher`s exact test, Kaplan-Meier log rank, and Cox proportional hazards models.ResultsRate of PPC was 4.8% in endometrial cancer.Non-endometrioid endometrial cancer(P=0.000), stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ(P=0.000), deep myometrial invasion(P=0.001), and cervical stromal involvement(P=0.018) appeared to be risk factors for PPC in endometrial cancer.Univariate analysis revealed statistically difference in 5-year PFS (70.9% vs 90.0%) and 5-year OS (72.2% vs 96.0%).Progression-free survival and overall survival showedstatistically difference(P=0.005,P=0.000)between PPC and NPC endometrial cancer.On multivariate analysis, PPC remained no statistically difference in progression-free survival or overall survival(RR=3.812,95% CI 0.897-16.200,P=0.070;RR=3.426,95% CI 0.800-14.673,P=0.097).Conclusions PPC is not an independent risk factor in patients with endometrial cancer.Aggressive histology, FIGO stage, deep myometrial invasion and cervical stromal involvement are presumed to be associated with PPC in endometrial cancer.

Objective To investigate the high-risk factors of retroperitoneal lymph nodes metastasis (LNM) and the effect of lymph nodes metastasis on prognosis in patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC).Methods Retrospec-tive research was carried out from January 2005 to December 2010 to identify 289 endometrial carcinoma patients treated with retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy at Peking Union Medical College Hospital.The high-risk factors of retroperitoneal LNM and prognostic factors of this disease were studied.Results 1) The median age at diagnosis was 55 years old.Patients of stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ were 224 (77.5%), 13 (4.5%), 45 (15.6%) and 7 (2.4%), respectively.Two hundred and eighty-nine patients received pelvic lymphadenectomy, of that 30 (10.4%) patients were found the pelvic LNM.Ninety-six patients received periaortic lymphadenectomy, of that 11 (11.5%) patients were found the periaortic LNM.Twenty-one (7.3%) patients developed recurrent disease and 11 (3.8 %) dead.The median follow-up was 37 months and the median disease-free survival (DFS) was 34 months.2) In univariate analysis, the incidence of LNM significantly increased in patients with CA125 ≥ 35 U/mL preoperatively, non-endometrioid adenocarcinoma, low grade, deep myometrium invasion, diameter of tumor ≥ 2 cm, cervical stroma involvement, positive peritoneal cytology and vagina or parametrial involvement (P<0.05).In multivariate analysis, CA125 ≥ 35 U/mL preoperatively, low grade, deep myometrium invasion were the independent high-risk factors of LNM (P<0.05).3)The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significant difference between positive peritoneal cytology, vagina or parametrial involvement, appendix involvement, LNM and DFS (P<0.05).We also found a significant difference in the impact of non-endometrioid adenocarcinoma, low grade, deep myometrium invasion, positive peritoneal cytology, appendix involvement and LNM on overall survival (OS) (P<0.05).Cox regression analysis revealed retroperitoneal LNM is the independent prognostic factor of 5-year DFS (patients without LNM 92.1% vs patients with LNM 65.3%, P=0.002, 95% CI 0.078-0.552).We also found the trend that the 5-year OS was higher in patients without LNM than them with LNM, even though there was no significant difference(patients without LNM 96.1% vs patients with LNM 70.0%, P=0.086, 95% CI 0.039-1.238).Conclusions 1) there is a predictive value of low grade and deep myometrium invasion for EC patients with LNM.2)Patients with LNM have poorer prognosis than them without LNM.Therefore, patients with LNM should receive adjuvant therapy to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Objective To analyze the treatment result of radiotherapy alone for patients with early stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and discuss the impact of T and N stages on the prognois. Methods From January 1999 to December 2001, clinical data of 362 patients with early stage (T1-2N0-1M0,92'Fuzhou staging system) NPC treated by radiotherapy alone were reviewed. Results Median follow-up time was 70 months. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of the whole group was 85%. The 5-year OS rates of patients with T1N0,T2N0 and T1N1 disease were 96.6% ,91.3% and 85.8% ,which were not statistically different ( χ2 = 3.83, P ＞ 0.05). The 5-year OS rate of those with T2N1 disease was 73.1%,which was sta tistically different from the former three groups ( χ2 = 30.0 ,P ＜ 0.05 ). The 5-year local-recurrence free sur vival and 5-year regional-recurrence free survival rates had no significant difference among the four groups.The 5-year distant-metastasis free survival rates of the former three, groups were 94.9% ,97.5% and 95.6% (χ2 = 0.53, P ＞0.05). The rate of patients with T2N1 disease was 81.2%, which was significantly different from the others (χ2 =26.6,P 0.05).Conclusions Radiotherapy alone for T1N0,T2N0 and T1N1 naso pharyngeal carcinoma has a satisfactory result. With more failure of distant metastasis, patients with T2N1 disease has obviously poorer outcome than the others. Patients who have high risk of distant metastasis may need combined treatment instead of radiotherapy alone in the future study.

To investigate and step in the compliance of clinician hand hygiene, we used vari-ous management tools of the quality control circle (QCC), and then compared the change of the com-pliance before and after any operations. Firstly, we followed this 5 steps: selecting themes, drafting plans, grasping current situations, setting goals and analyzing objectives. Then, we formulated and im-plemented the interventions pertinently. All of the QCC members participated actively in the whole process. The compliance of clinician hand hygiene was improved from 41.11%to 57.59%. The realiza-tion rate was 115.97%, the progress rate was 40.99%, and the hand hygiene compliance of hand hy-giene in different time was significantly improved with the average value 1.25. Standardized result formed by quality control circle activity had a comprehensive promotion in the hospital and promoted the management of hospital infection and the development of hospital.
