Objective　To investigate the clinical significan ce of pelvic lymphadenectomy in advanced ovarian carcinoma. Methods　A total of 86 cases of advanced ovarian cancer with surgical treatment were assigned to 3 groups according to the size of residual focus and the performanc e of pelvic lymphadenectomy. Group A consisted of 42 cases with pelvic lymphaden ectomy and the diameter of residual focus smaller than 2 cm; Group B, 26 cases, underwent pelvic lymphadenectomy but with the residual focus larger than 2 cm; Group C con sisted of 18 cases without pelvic lymphadenectomy and the diameter of residual f ocus larger than 2 cm. All patients received CAP chemotherapy for 6 to 8 course of treatment and were in similar clinical stages and pathological grading. Results　The 5 year survival rate was 30.1% (13/42) in Group A, and 11.5% (3/26) in Group B with significant difference (P<0.05). Group C's 5 year survival rate was 11.1%(2/18). No significant difference was found betwee n Group B and C. Conclusion　Application of pelvic lymphadenecto my on those with residual focus less than 2 cm can apparently improve the patien ts' survival rate. But when the diameter of the focus is larger than 2 cm, pelvi c lymphadenectomy is not necessary.

Objective To investigate the induction mechanism of MT ⅢmRNA in the brain after cerebral ischemia.Methods The forebrain ischemia reperfusion model was established in rats. The changes of the expression of MT Ⅲ mRNA in hippocampus after forebrain ischemia reperfusion were observed by in situ hybridization method. The changes of free Zn 2+ in hippocampus after forebrain ischemia reperfusion was examined using Zn 2+ specific fluorescent probe(TSQ). The Zn 2+ chelator (CaEDTA) was injected into the lateral ventricles for determining influences of Zn 2+ on the MT Ⅲ mRNA expression and the neuronal damage after forebrain ischemia/reperfusion.Results (1) The expression of MT ⅢmRNA in hippocampus increased gradually after cerebral ischemia and reached the peak in 96 hours after reperfusion. Seven days after reperfusion the expression of MT ⅢmRNA reduced to the normal level. (2) Zn 2+ fluorescence in the hilus of dentate gyrus, CA 3 region and the stratum radiatum and stratum oriens of CA 1 decreased slightly at 48 hours after reperfusion. From 72 to 96 hours after reperfusion, the fluorescence returned to normal, but some new fluorescence dots appeared in pyramidal neurons of CA 1 and the hilus of dentate gyrus increased gradually. Seven days after reperfusion, the fluorescence returned to normal. (3) The cell membrane impermeable Zn 2+ chelator could reduce the intracellular concentration of free Zn 2+ and the expression of MT Ⅲ mRNA.Conclusion The expression of MT Ⅲ mRNA can be induced by the increase in the concentration of intracellular free Zn 2+ after forebrain ischemia/reperfusion.

Objective To explore the therapeutic strategy for intracranial ischemia due to extraand intracranial artery stenosis using endovascular stent angioplasty.Methods Totally 109 patients with extra-and/or intracranial artery stenosis were treated by endovascular stent in our hospital from March 2008 to September 2011.There were 93 cases with single stenostic lesion,16 cases with multiple stenosis and 5 cases with distal unruptured aneurysm.All patients received endovascular stentings and 94 cases were followed up for 3 20 months.Results All of the patients underwent endovascular stenting placement successfully.The average stenosises were(79.2 ± 13.4)％ before operation and(18.1 ± 9.20)％ after operation.During follow-up for(10.8 ± 4.2)months,mild restenosis occurred in 9 stenosises(7.0％)among 129 lesions and no serious stroke event was found.Conclusions Endovascular stent is safe and effective in treating extra and intracranial stenosis.It is important to investigate adequately cerebral blood flow in the multiple stenosis or in complicating other kind of vascular diseases before proper treatments.

The macroporous resin separation technology has been mainly applied in the enrichment of saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids and other ingredients, and used in the removal of heavy metal impurities and pesticide residues in recent years. This paper focuses on the synthesis of the new-type macroporous adsorption resin LKS-11 according to the molecular structure characteristics of procymidone. Specifically, the selective absorptive property and other advantages of macroporous resin were utilized to analyze the procymidone removal efficiency in ginseng extracts from different sources. The type of macroporous resins, absorptive property and desorption conditions were observed respectively by static and dynamic adsorption methods to determined the optimum process conditions. According to the results, LKS-11 showed a good absorptive property to procymidone in ginseng extracts and provided a theoretical basis for studies on the removal of procymidone residues from ginseng extracts by using macroporous adsorption resin. Because of no secondary pollution on samples, low production and operation costs, high procymidone removal efficiency and high product recovery rate, this method is suitable to be applied in production.

Objective To discuss the mode of onset,clinical characteristics,treatment and prognosis of children with granulocyte sarcoma (GS),in order to provide guidance for early diagnosis and effective treatment of GS.Methods Six cases of children with GS diagnosed at the Department of Hematology,Children's Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University between June 2009 and June 2014 were analyzed,the data including the mode of onset,clinical manifestation,diagnosis,treatment and outcome.Results There were 2 cases with a painless mass onset (1 case was 2 years old,characterized by right waist mass,about 10 cm × 5 cm;the other case was 6 years old,characterized by axillary lump,about 2 cm × 3 cm),and both of them received surgical removal of the tumor,then the postoperative tumor was examined by pathologic and immunohistochemical method,and at last the primary granulocyte sarcoma was diagnosed.The third case was a 7 years old girl,she was onset characterized by scalp lump,about 2 cm × 3 cm,and was diagnosed by the pathologic and immunohistochemical method,and changes in hematological system appeared a month later and acute myeloid leukemia(AML) was confirmed by bone marrow examination.The onset ages of other 3 cases were in 10 months,1 year and 7 months,13 years and 3 months old respectively,characterized by scalp lump (about 2 cm × 3 cm),spinal canal tumor (about 1.0 cm × 1.5 cm),intracranial tumors (6.0 cm × 4.9 cm),with AML occurring at the same time,which was confirmed by surgical pathology,immunohistochemistry and bone marrow cell morphology,immune classification,chromosome,and fusion gene diagnosis.Four cases were hematopoietic malignancies by pathology,2 cases of then belonging to small round cell tumor.The immune pathology showed 5 cases of myeloperoxidase positive,CD68-positive,3 cases of CD43-positive,CD123-positive.All children CD3,CD20 levels in all children were negative.Four cases underwent surgery combined with chemotherapy,other 2 cases received surgery and then gave up treatment,1 case discontinued follow-up 3 months later,and the other case died of intracranial hemorrhage after 3 months,which induced by thrombocytopenia.The treated 4 cases were followed up 3 to 58 months,and all had disease-free survival.Conclusions Children with GS have low incidence and non-specific diagnostic criteria,its diagnosis depends on immune pathology,and the treatment is mainly in accordance with AML program for high-dose chemotherapy.The systematic chemotherapy helps to prolong overall survival;at the same time,the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with bone marrow may help to improve the prognosis.

Electronic case report forms (eCRFs) instead of the traditional paper case report forms (pCRFs) are increasingly used by investigators and sponsors of clinical research. We include a total of 14 phase III studies (8 pCRF, 6 eCRF) to compare paper and electronic data documentation both quantitatively and qualitatively in clinical studies. The result suggests that adaptions of electronic data capture (EDC) in clinical trials have the advantages in optimization of data capture process, improvement of data quality and earlier clinical decision compared to paper-based methods. Furthermore, the successful implementation of EDC requires accouplements with corresponding data management processes and reallocation of resources.
