Objective To evaluate the effect of hepatic arterial chemo-embolization( TACE) combined threedimensional conformal radiation therapy (3 D-CRT) in treatment of un- resectable primary hepatocellular cancer (PHC). Methods 80 patients with PHC were divided into TACE therapy(control group) 40 cases and 3D-CRT + TACE treatment( observation group)40 cases,The efficacy and survival rate was observed. Results The rate of effect in observation group were 35 cases (87. 5% ) higher than that 28 cases (70. 0% ) in control group ( x2 = 3. 89, P < 0.05 ) ,The rate of survival in observation group of 1、2、3-year were 67. 5% ,55. 5% ,40. 0% which were higher than that 50. 0% ,27. 5% ,15. 0% in control group( x2 = 3.4576, x2= 3.726, x2 = 3. 635, all P < 0.05), The incidence of adverse reactions in two groups had no significant difference ( P <0.05). Conclusion The three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy combined with transcatheter arterial chemoem-bolization for unresectable primary hepatocellular cancer had a better efficacy,and adverse reactions could be tolerated.

Objective To quantitatively assess the neovascularization within human carotid atheroclerltic soft plaque in patients with cerebral infarction using real-time contrast-enhanced uhrasonography. Methods One hundred and forty-two patients with carotid athemselerotic soft plaque were divided into two groups: cerebral infarction group (n = 44)and control group (n = 98).Real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasonography was examined. Acoustics quantitative analysis was made by auto-tracking contrast quantification (ACQ)technology. Results The enhanced intensity (EI)in cerebral infarction group was significandy higher than that in control group[(14.58±4.19)dB vs (11.26±3.77)dB, P< 0.01]. The difference of arrival time (DAT)and the difference of time to peak (DTrP)in cerebral infarction group was significantly shorter than those in control group [(2.21±0.42)s vs (2.46±0.51)s,(2.13 + 0.37)s vs (2.43±0.48)s, P all < 0.01]. Conclusions The real-time contrast-enhanced uhrasonography can provide a new non-invasire and quantitative tool to assess the neovascularizafion within carotid atheroselerofic soft plaque. EI is re-garded as an independent risk factor correhtes strongly with cerebral infarction.

Since its first application for radical gastrectomy, laparoscopic surgical technique has been used for almost 20 years. Howev-er, given the complexity of the anatomic plane and vessels of stomach and the particular operation of laparoscopic instruments, lapa-roscopic lymph node dissection is still a difficult technique that requires experience. An appropriate approach is the key point to the success of laparoscopic lymph node dissection. On the basis of lymphatic drainage routes and anatomy of perigastric lymphatic sys-tem, different approaches are selected to dissect periodic gastric lymph nodes safely and radically. Surgery is performed according to the patient's position, surgeons' stance, and sequence of lymphadenectomy for laparoscopic gastrectomy and lymph node areas, such as suprapancreatic, cardial, and splenic hilar areas. In this article, we introduce different surgical approaches of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy with extended lymphadenectomy to provide information for surgeons who want to perform this surgery.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of Huanglian shangqing soft capsule in the adjuvant treatment of in-flammation around the implant. METHODS:40 patients(72 implants)with inflammation around the implant were randomly divid-ed into control group (20 cases) and observation group (20 cases). Control group received full mouth supragingival scaling tech-nique,subgingival curettage,root planing,occlusal adjustment,loose teeth fixation or removal can not be reserved teeth using ul-trasonic scaler row scaling postoperative with 3% hydrogen peroxide,0.9% Sodium chloride injection alternately flushing periodon-tal pocket,removing residue until the inflammation control after the break-adjusted+appropriate amount of Minocycline hydrochlo-ride ointment,along with fine needles inserted into the periodontal pocket wall slowly until bag after pushed into the bottom of Mi-nocycline hydrochloride ointment,slow retreated the drug overflow until the gingival margin,no gargle and drinking water within half an hour,once a week. Observation group additionally received 1.2 g Huanglian shangqing soft capsules,twice a day. 4-week was regarded as 1 course,and it last 2 courses. Clinical efficacy,PLI,PD,SBI,IL-1β,IL-6,IL-2 and IL-17 levels before and af-ter treatment,and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:The total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment,the PLI, PD,SBI,IL-1β,IL-6,IL-2 and IL-17 levels in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in observation group was significantly higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05),but the symptoms were mild. CONCLUSIONS:Based on conventional treatment,Huanglian shangqing soft capsule shows significant efficacy in the adjuvant treatment of inflammation around the implant,it can reduce inflammatory cytokine levels in gingival sulcus fluid,but with more ad-verse reactions.
