OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects and safety of rosuvastatin on blood lipid and thyroid nodules in elderly pa-tients with dyslipidemia. METHODS:70 elderly patients with dyslipidemia were selected and randomly divided into control group (33 cases) and treatment group (37 cases). Control group was treated with routine treatment as abstain from tobacco and drink, low fat diet,Aspirin enteric-coated tablets 100 mg at bed time;treatment group was additionally treated with Rosuvastatin calcium tablet 10 mg at bed time,on the basis of control group. Both groups received the treatment for consecutive 12 weeks. BMI,blood lipid and the size of thyroid nodules were compared between 2 groups before and after treatment,and the occurrence of ADR was also observed. RESULTS:There was no significant difference in BMI between 2 groups before and after treatment (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in blood lipid level and the size of thyroid nodules between 2 groups before and after treatment (P>0.05). The blood lipid level and the size of thyroid nodule of 2 groups were improved significantly after treatment,and the treatment group was significantly better than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). 2 pationts of creatment suf-fered from the increase of ALT but recovered withont angtreatment. CONCLUSIONS:Rosuvastatin can significantly improve blood lipid and decrease thyroid nodules in elderly patients with dyslipidemia with good safety.

Objective: To assess the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumor in the rectum.Methods: Records of 18 patients diagnosed as GIST in the rectum between January 2002 and April 2009 were re-viewed and the major clinical features, treatment modalities and outcomes were analyzed.Results: The clinical features of GIST in the rectum were nonspecific.Most patients manifested with bloody stool or changes in bowel habits.CT scan or MRI findings showed necrosis and/or hemorrhage in the tumor and well defined tumor margins.Even in the case of large GIST, no lymphadenopathy was not found, which could be a factor for the differential diagnosis of GIST from other rectal neoplasms.All of the resected tumor specimens showed positive expression of CD117 and CD34 in immunohistochemical staining.Low and very low risk patients accounted for 44.4% (8/18).All patients received surgery.Twelve patients were treated with local excision with different approaches.Anterior resection of the rectum (Dixon) was undertaken in three pa-tients and abdominoperineal resection (Miles) in three patients.Neoadjuvant therapy with imatinib was applied for three pa-tients with partial response.After a median follow-up of 34 months (1～84 months), recurrence and/or metastasis occurred in five patients, and three of them were treated with imatinib.One patient received Miles surgery after repeated local exci-sions.Only one patient died of bone metastasis.Recurrence-free survival (RFS) of the local excision group was longer than that of abdominoperineal resection (APR) group (75.0±8.4 months vs 26.0±11.1 months, P=0.023).Conclusion: The treatment for rectal GIST should be individualized and be different from that of rectal cancer.Treatment decision and choice of procedures should be based on careful preoperative evaluation of tumor size, location, extent and risk level.Most of the anorectal GIST were rated as low-risk in this cohort and could be excised locally by different approaches with satisfactory outcome.Neoadjuvant therapy with imatinib may benefit some patients to obtain the opportunity of sphincter-saving.
