Objective To explore therapeutic effects and indications of stereotatic puncture and drainage under multi-parameter orientation in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(HICH).Methods A total of 56 patients with HICH underwent stereotatic puncture and drainage from October 2003 to May 2005.The entrance position,the puncture plane,the puncture angle and depth,and the length of side hole of drainage tube were accurately designed before operation,and,if necessary,multiple drainage tubes were introduced via one hole.Results According to the Glasgow Outcome Scale(GOS) scores,12 patients recovered well(21.4%),29 patients were moderate disability(51.8%),and 12 patients were severe disability(21.4%).No longstanding coma was noted.Three patients died(5.4%). Conclusions Stereotatic puncture and drainage under multi-parameter orientation has better therapeutic effects and less damages than open operation.The procedure is suitable for 10~60 ml hematoma,especially in elderly patients and deep-located hematoma.The best operation timing is 3~6 hours after the onset of hemorrhage.

Objective To explore the clinical value of CT-guided selective radiofrequency thermocoagulation of the semilunar ganglion for the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia(PTN).Methods A total of 24 patients with PTN were included.Under local anesthesia and CT guidance,the semilunar ganglion was punctured by way of the oval foramen via the anterior approach using the Hartel's technique.Selective radiofrequency thermocoagulation was performed after the targets were confirmed by electrical stimulation. Results The pain was completely relieved in 18 patients,partially relieved in 5 patients,and unchanged in 1 patient,the total effective rate being 95.8%(23/24).Follow-up observations for 3~18 months(mean,12 months) in the 24 patients showed recurrence in 2 patients(8.3%).Conclusions CT-guided selective radiofrequency thermocoagulation is a safe,simple,and effective option for the treatment of PTN,especially suitable for the elderly and high-risk patients.

Objective To investigate the changes in prevalence of nutritional risk and undemutrition in patients with head and neck cancer during radiotherapy.Methods In this longitudinal observational study,a convenience sampling method was used to recruit patients with head and neck cancer who were receiving radiotherapy in Beijing Cancer Hospital.Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) was applied to assess the prevalence of nutritional risk in the patients,and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and body composition test to determine the prevalence of malnutrition (undernutrition) before,during and after radiotherapy.Results 56 patients finished the three follow-up exams.Along with the progress of radiotherapy,the scores of NRS 2002 increased gradually (1.64±1.09 vs.2.30 ±1.06 vs.3.14 ±1.07,x2 =46.639,P＜0.001),and the prevalence of nutritional risk also increased gradually (21.43％ vs.37.50％ vs.71.43％,x2 =29.700,P ＜0.001);the total scores of PG-SGA [1 (1-13) vs.6 (1-15) vs.12 (1-18),x2 =63.206,P＜0.001] and dimensions of weight [0 (0-4) vs.1 (0-4) vs.3 (0-6),x2 =40.798,P＜0.001],intake [0 (0-2) vs.1 (0-2) vs.2 (0-4),x2=64.707,P＜0.001] and symptoms [0 (0-7) vs.2 (0-10) vs.6 (0-11),x2 =61.562,P ＜ 0.001] all increased gradually with statistical significance.The prevalence of malnutrition in different stage of radiotherapy were significantly different (x2 =64.999,P ＜ 0.001).The body composition analysis in 40 patients showed that all the indicators of body composition decreased significantly along with the progress of radiotherapy.There was a great loss in patients' body weight during radiotherapy,especially the fat-free mass.Conclusions The prevalence of nutritional risk and undernutrition may increase in patients with head and neck cancer during radiotherapy.Lean body mass accounted for most of the weight loss.We should pay more attention to those patients' nutritional status during radiotherapy.

Objective To explore the mucosal healing quality of hydrotalcite combined with esomeprazole in gastric ulcer.Methods Forty-two patients visiting from June 2014 to December 2015 and diagnosed with gastric ulcer were selected and divided into combination therapy group and single therapy group with 21 patients in each group.The patients of combination therapy group received esomeprazole combined with hydrotalcite,and the patients of single therapy group received esomeprazole alone.The total therapeutic course was eight weeks.At the same period,21 health check-up participants were enrolled as normal control group.The healing of gastric ulcer was observed under white light endoscopy.The morphological changes of gastric pits and microvessel of mucosal at peripheral mucosa around ulcer and normal gastric mucosal were observed under narrow band imaging magnifying endoscopy.The gastric mucosa tissues of the two groups before and after treatment,and normal gastric mucosa of healthy control group were taken.The amount of deposition and composition of collagen fibers,the expression level of factor Ⅷ,the level of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 and the content of hydroxyproline were analyzed by Masson,immunofluorescent and immunohistochemistry staining as well as enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Chi square test,one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA),least significant difference (LSD) method,Dunnett's T3 and Kruskal-Wallis test and other method were used for comparison.Results After treatment,18 patients of combination therapy group (21 patients) had regular microvessel nets (85.7％),which was significantly more than those of single therapy group (12 cases,57.1％) and healthy control group (10 cases,47.6 ％),and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =4.200,P=0.040).In the comparison of maturity of regenerative mucosa between combination therapy group and single therapy group after treatment,the ration between collagen type Ⅰ and Ⅱ,deposition of collagen fibers,the number of factor Ⅷ positive cells,the level of TGF-beta1 and the content of hydroxyproline were 36.05 and 23.14;269 375.63.± 171 608.63 and 137 693.14±98 330.93;34.91±8.40 and 28.24±6.93;104 498.71±40 487.96 and 70 757.11±19 323.95;(1 897.80±879.35) and (1 230.57±536.05) μg/L,respectively;while in healthy control group,the above parameters were 36.81,245 696.90 ± 224 687.00,23.10 ± 8.40,94 048.04 ±41 306.55 and 1 681.20 ± 423.61 μg/L,and the differences were statitically significant among these three groups (H=7.375,F=3.465,11.680,5.190,5.160;all P＜0.05).Those parameters of combination therapy group were significantly higher than those of single therapy group (H=2.416,LSD method;all P＜0.05).Conclusion Hydrotalcite combined with esomeprazole in the treatment of gastric ulcer could significantly improve microvessel morphology,maturity degree of regenerative mucosal structure and function,and the mucosal healing quality was also superior to single esomeprazole group.

Background and purpose:Glioblastoma is one of the most common intracranial tumors, the morbidity and mortality are both high, and the molecular biological mechanism of the disease is still unclear. In this study, we detected the gene expression of tyrosine kinase receptor (TKR) pathway in primary glioblastoma(GBM) with low-density array, furthermore we analyzed the significance of the gene expression change. Methods:We detected 26 genes of RTK pathway in 10 primary GBM tissues and 9 normal brain tissues (gained from the decompression operation of brain trauma), and analyzed the different expressions of these two kinds of tissues by statistic method.Results:The Ct values of MAP2K1 and MAP2K4 in normal brain tissues were 1.6?1.7 and 2.2?2.1, the Ct values of MAP2K1 and MAP2K4 in primary GBM tissues were 3.9?1.5 and 5.0?2.0, and the Ct different values between normal brain tissues and primary GBM tissues of both genes were -2.3 and -2.8(P

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of CD44 on drug resistance of breast cancer patients. METHODS:62 breast cancer patients were selected,and the expression of CD44 was detected by immunohistochemical method. Drug resistance was eval-uated by WHO criteria,and the expression of CD44 in breast tissue was observed after observation. RESULTS:There were 48 pa-tients sensitive to CD44 and 14 patients with drug resistance,with statistical significance(P<0.05). After chemotherapy,the ex-pression of CD44 in caner tissue was higher than before chemotherapy,that of patients with drug resistance was higher than pa-tients sensitive to CD44,with statistical significance(P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:CD44 antigen is closely related to chemothera-py resistance of breast cancer,and high expression of CD44 can be used as an important indicator for breast cancer chemotherapy.
