Objective to study the factors of delaying survival of the ankle and foot which were linked with leg only by skin, fascia and tibia after all the infected and inactivated muscles and intermuscular vessels had been removed, and to study the effect of artery blood supply reconstruction to avoid the necrosis and ischemia contracture of the foot. Methods The leg was linked with ankle and foot by the tibia which was covered only by skin and fascia after all the muscles, interosseous membrance, intermuscular vessels and fibula had been removed. And then the artery blood supply for the injured limb was reconstructed by stages. Results The sense of haphalgesia, with normal temperature and color, recovered in the injured limb 7 months after operation, no contracture and deformity happened in the food muscles and joint, and the patient may smooth stand and walk with a stick freely. Conclusion The necrosis and ischemia contracture of foot was delayed by reticular collateral circulation among skin, deep and superficial fascia and tibia of the injured limb, although the blood supply was very little after all the muscles and intermuscular vessels had been removed because of infection and necrosis. Finally the injured limb was reserved successfully by artery blood supply reconstruction. The clinical effect was satisfactory.

Objective　To investigate the operation treatment of gallbladder carcinoma(GBC). Methods The clinical data of 132 patients with GBC from 1980 to 1999 were analysed. Results　The mean age was 55 years and the occurrence sex ratio in female/male was 1.5∶1. Gallstone was found in 80% of the patients, and 87.1% of the GBC were adenocarcinoma. Before December 1990(forward group), simple cholecystectomy were performed on 11 cases, radical cholecystectomy on 9 cases, extended radical cholecystectomy on 5 cases, palliative extra- or intra- drainge on 15 cases, surgical biopsy on 30% cases. Hospital death occurred in 4 cases, the postoperative complications occurred in 20 cases including biliary fistula in 4 cases, pancreatic fistula in 2 cases. Since January 1991(latter group), radical simple cholecystectomy were performed on 2 cases, radical cholecystectomy on 16 cases, extended radical cholecystectomy on 24 cases; palliative extra- or intra- drainge in 9 cases, surgical biopsy on 8 cases. Hospital death occurred in 1 cases; postoperative complications in 12 cases, including biliary fistula in 1 cases, pancreatic fistula in 1 cases. Radical resection rate was 35.7% in forword group, 72.6% in latter group. Conclusions　Surgical tech-nique progress and application with Peng's Multifunctional Operative Dissector can improve the resection rate of GBC. Extended redical resection is an effective and active method to treat middle or late stage GBC.

Objective To establish the phenobarbital addiction rat model by the modified drug‐admixed‐food(DAF) method . Methods Rats were selected as the experimental animal .The modified DAF method was adopted to construct the model .The initial dose of phenobarbital 75 mg/kg was given mixed and the dase was gradually increased day by day ,which continued for 45 d .The es‐tablished model was verified by the precipitated withdrawal method and the natural withdrawal method for judging whether the model construction succeeding .Results The convulsion rate in the DAF precipitated withdrawal group was higher than that in the control group(P< 0 .01) ;the withdrawal symptoms scores in the DAF natural withdrawal group were higher than those in the con‐trol group(P< 0 .05) ;the relieving degree of body mass in the two withdrawal groups was greater than that in the control group (P< 0 .05) .The brain section in the mode group revealed obvious cellular apoptotic change .Conclusion DAF is simple and feasible for establishing the phenobarbital addiction rat model .

Objective To explore the expression of GPR30,HRG1 and HER2 including the activation status of HER2 (phosphorylated HER2)in invasive ductal breast cancers and their relationship with lymphatic metastasis.Methods The expres-sion of GPR30,HRG1,HER2 and pHER2 in 72 cases of specimens of invasive ductal breast cancers were examined by immunohis-tochemistry method.Results A moderate correlation between GPR30 and HRG1 was disclosed (r=0.597,P =0.000).There was strong correlation between pHER2 and GPR30 or HRG1(r=0.742,P =0.000;r=0.615,P =0.000).The expression of GPR30 and pHER2 in the lymphatic metastasis group was remarkably higher than in the group without lymphatic metastasis(P <0.05). Conclusion The interaction between GPR30 and HRG1 HER2 signal transduction pathways might be involved in the lymphatic metastasis in breast cancer.Blocking both of GPR30 and HRG1 signaling pathway could be a promising new strategy for breast cancer treatments.

Objective To observe the effects of blood pressure by intravenous infusion of different doses ofoxytocin in cesarean section.Methods Sixty full-term pregnant women undergoing cesarean section with continuous epidural anesthesia were divided into three groups by random digits table method with 20 cases each:group A,B and C.Three groups were injected 10 U oxytocin in uterine muscle after infant delivery.Group A,B and C received 5,10 and 20 U oxytocin (sodium lactate ringer,500 ml) continuous intravenous infusion at the speed of 10 ml/min.If happened uterine contractions bad,they were sublingual administering 0.2 mg misoprostol.If happened severe hypotension,they were intravenous injected 5 mg ephedrine.The change of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heat rate before anesthesia (T0),after fetal childbirth (T1),5 m in (T2),10 min (T3),30 min (T4) after infusion of oxytocin and the dosage of ephedrine and misoprostol were recorded.Results There were no significant differences in MAP and heart rate at every time point between group A and B (P＞ 0.05).MAP decreased and heart rate increased in group C at T2,T3 compared with those in group A and B,and there were significant differences (P＜ 0.05).The number of cases of sublingual misoprostol were increased in group A (7 cases) compared with that in group B (2 cases) and group C(1 case).The 8 patients injected ephedrine in group C were more than group A(1 case) and group B (3 cases).Conclusion Cesarean section after the delivery of the fetus in the uterus muscle injection of oxytocin 10 U,after 10 U of oxytocin added 500 ml sodium lactate ringer injection at the speed of 10 ml/min intravenous infusion has little effect on the blood pressure and heart rate,and has good uterine contractions.

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of nasal non-Hodgkin lymphoma(N-NHL) by four types of therapy such as pure chemotherapy, pure radiotherapy, chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy, and APBSCT combined with TBI. Methods One hundred and thirty five patients with nasal NHL were treated between 1980 and 2000. All patients received radiotherapy alone or chemotherapy alone or radiotherapy combined with radiotherapy or TBI combined with APBSCT. The median radiation dose to the nasal cavity was 56.0 Gy with a range of 35.2 to 75.5 Gy. Six patients received TBI combined APBSCT. The TBI dose was 8 Gy. Two patients received 30 Gy in nasal of the six patients. The chemotherapy regimen consisted of 2-6 cycles of COP, COPP, COMP, CHOP, COBDP. Results The local control rate and 5-year survival rate of the four groups of pure chemotherapy, pure radiotherapy, combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy and APBSCT combined with TBI were 12 %, 69 %, 76 %, 83 % and 9 %, 52 %, 63 %, 83 %. For the four groups, the best is APBSCT, then combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy group ,then pure radiotherapy, the last is pure chemotherapy. There is significant difference between the four groups(P

OBJECTIVETo investigate the prevalence and subtype distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and its correlation with age among women in Beijing urban area, and provide some epidemiological evidence for the clinical application of HPV vaccines.

METHODSWe collected cervical specimens from 1999 women in the Outpatient Department of our hospital, performed genetyping of HPV-DNA, and analyzed the incidence of HPV infection in different age groups.

RESULTSHPV infection was detected in 502 (25.2%) of the 1999 women patients, with 391 (19.6%) cases of high-risk HPV, which included 326 (83.4%, 326/391) cases of single infection. HPV-16 was the most common type (21.2%, 69/326), followed by HPV-52 (19.3%, 63/326) and HPV-58 (16.0%, 52/326). The prevalence of HPV infection was the highest among the women aged 41 -50 years and the lowest among those over 60 years.

CONCLUSIONThe subtype- and age-specific distribution of HPV infection among women in Beijing urban area shows an obvious heterogeneity, which deserves due consideration in the clinical application of HPV vaccines.
