BACKGROUND:Tumor cels are resistant to chemotherapeutic drugs, and drug resistance is closely correlated with tumor stem cels. Therefore, how to kil tumor stem cels wil become the key to the treatment of oral squamous cel carcinoma. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of 5-fluorouracil on biological characteristics of tongue squamous cel carcinoma Tca8113 cels. METHODS:Viability of Tca8113 cels treated with different concentrations of 5-fluorouracil was determined by cel counting kit-8, and the best drug concentration and time were screened for subsequent experiments. Tca8113 cels without 5-fluorouracil acted as control group. Then the cel cycle and percentage of the side population cels in Tca8113 cels were determined by flow cytometry. Scratch test was used to determine the migration ability of Tca8113 cels. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Results from cel counting kit-8 showed that 5-fluorouracil inhibited the viability of Tca8113 cels positively in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Tca8113 cels under intervention with 50 mg/L 5-fluorouracil for 48 hours showed lowest cel viability. Flow cytometry results showed that in the experimental group, G0/G1 phase cels increased significantly compared with the control group (P=0.01), S phase cels decreased significantly compared with the control group (P=0.244), and G2/M phase cels disappeared completely. After treatment with 5-fluorouracil, the percentage of side population cels was increased significantly (P=0.00). The scratch test showed that in the experimental group, the cels had better ability of wound healing than those in the control group. In conclusion, 5-fluorouracil can enrich the cancer stem cel population in Tca8113 cels.

Objective To explore the effect of participatory humanistic nursing on the quality of life and psychology of patients with gastric cancer. Methods From May 2015 to May 2016, 68 patients with gastric cancer were enrolled in the study. All patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group with 34 patients in each group according to the principle of double-blind randomization. Patients in the control group were given routine clinical nursing, and patients in the experimental group were given the participatory humanistic nursing care. The quality of life and psychological state were evaluated by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire and Symptom Checklist 90 edited by Derogatis and compared before nursing and after 6 months of nursing. Results There was no significant difference in the quality of life before nursing between two groups (P >0.05). After nursing, the scores of physical function, role function, emotional function, cognitive function, social function of the quality of life were 57.85±4.64, 68.43±5.23, 61.43±4.97, 58.47± 6.12, 53.57±5.54 in the experimental group and 43.56±4.56, 54.67±4.67, 56.34±4.74, 51.34±4.13, 50.46± 4.27 in the control group,and there were significant differences (t=2.593-12.808,P<0.01 or 0.05). There was no significant difference in the psychological state before nursing between two groups (P>0.05). After nursing, the scores of interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, terror, paranoia, psychosis of the psychological state were 1.65 ± 0.17, 1.40 ± 0.15, 1.45 ± 0.14, 1.46 ± 0.12, 1.52 ± 0.16, 1.54 ± 0.10, 1.43 ± 0.11 in the experimental group and 1.75±0.21, 1.72±0.24, 1.63±0.21, 1.75±0.23, 1.71±0.24, 1.65±0.10, 1.56 ± 0.12 in the control group, and there were significant differences (t=2.158-6.593, P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions Participating humanistic care can improve the quality of life and improve the psychological state, and the clinical effect is significant, it is worthy of being popularized and applied.

Objective To review the efficacy of α1-blocker in the treatment of urinary calculi post extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Methods Key words include Urinary calculi, Alpha-blocker, Randomized clinical trail, Ex?tracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, et al were searched against databases include Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library data?bases and CNKI. All studies that reported effect ofα-blockers post ESWL were eligible for the analysis. Data was extracted through quality assessment and data filtering, then were analysed using RevMan 5.0. Results Fourteen randomized clinical trails with a total of 1 464 patients met the inclusion criteria. Pooled analysis showed a better stone clearance and shorter in?terval between stone fragment discharges (RR=1.21, 95%CI:1.10-1.33, P<0.05) and (SMD=-1.23, 95%CI:-2.09--0.36, P<0.05) respectively afterα1-blocker administration. However, evidence is still not convincible that it can reduced the fre?quency of colic episodes (RR=0.54,95%CI:0.28-1.02, P=0.06). Conclusion α1-blockers facilitates the expulsion of uri?nary calculi shown by a higher expulsion rate, a shorter expulsion interval during treatment. Adjunctive therapy with α1-blockers after ESWL is effective in the treatment of urinary calculi.

As an important indicator of total hip arthroplasty (THA) the rate and degree of offset reconstruction play an important role in improving the prognosis and life quality of patients. The reconstruction of femoral offset is closely related to reserved length of calcar femorale, the head and neck length of prosthesis, angle degree of neck shaft and whether lower limb is isometric. Reconstruction strategy includes making a meticulous and standard measurement before the surgery, predicting the reserved length of calcar femorale, selecting a prosthesis with approximate anatomical neck-shaft angle and reconstructing offset by adjusting the head and neck length of the prosthetic during the operation. The aim of this article was to introduce the research progress and influence of offset on hip function, prosthetic wear and postoperative complications such as pain, limp and unequal leg length, and to discuss the reconstruction strategy.

Objective To study local people's habits and customs concerning the prevention of dental fluorosis in an indoor coal-combustion-type fluorosis area of Zhaotong city Yunnan province, and to provide reference value for monitoring and control of the disease. Methods In 2008, 600 people of a 12-year-old group (400 people) and a 35 - 44-year-old group(200 people) were examined for dental fluorosis and oral health status in an indoor coal-combustion-type fluorosis area of Zhaotong. A questionnaire survey of 120 students and 60 adults was carried out on their habits and customs, stove changing status, knowledge of prevention of dental fluorosis, social psychology status, oral health behavior and their need for medical treatment. Results The total prevalence of dental fluorosis was 91.0% (546/600), dental fluorosis index was 2.58. The total prevalence of dental fluorosis of 12-year-old group was 86.5%(346/400), and dental fluorosis index was 2.12. The total prevalence of dental fluorosis of rural student was 90.5% (181/200), which was obviously higher in the rural group than the urban group [82.5% (165/200), χ2 = 5.48, P < 0.05]. The total prevalence of dental fluorosis of 35-44-year-old group was 100% (200/200), which was obviously higher than that of the 12-year-old group(χ2 = 29.67, P < 0.01). The rates of using coal, baking of food, changing stoves were 66.7% (60/90), 14.4% (13/90),57.8% (52/90), respectively, and these values of the urban were much lower than those of the rural[95.6%(86/90) ,31.1%(28/90) ,76.7%(69/90),χ2 = 24.51,7.11,7.29, all P < 0.01]. Only 23.3% (42/180) of people surveied had the knowledge of prevention of dental fluorosis, and the rate in the adult group[56.7% (34/60)]was higher than that of the student group [6.7% (8/120), χ2 = 55.9, P < 0.01]. The same rate in the urban student group was 0(0/60), and the rural student group was 13.3%(8/60), there was a significant difference between them(χ2 = 5.66, P < 0.05). Seventy-three point nine per cent( 133/180) of these people thought dental fluorosis had significant effect on their life, 91.1%(164/180) of these 'people wished to be treated. Eighty-four point four per cent( 152/180) of the people had a habit of toothbrushing,and 50.7% (77/152) of these people were still using toothpaste containing fluorine. Conclusions Zhaotong is a serious indoor coal-combustion-type fluorosis area. Enhancing health education to local people especially to students, and changing people's unhealthy habits and customs are keies to control the prevalence of indoor coal-combustion-type dental fluorosis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and toxicities of radical intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) combined with reduction in dose of prophylactic irradiation in the treatment of stage Ⅲ small cell lung cancer (SCLC).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 40 patients with stage Ⅲ SCLC who were admitted from January 2010 to August 2012.The prescribed dose was 60 Gy in 30 fractions to the primary gross tumor volume and was 54 Gy in 30 fractions to the planning target volume.All patients received induction chemotherapy,31 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy,and 22 patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy;the platinum-based chemotherapy combined with etoposide or teniposide was adopted.Prophylactic cranial irradiation (25 Gy in 10 fractions) was administered to 17 patients.The short-term tumor response was evaluated by RECIST 1.0,and radiation-related toxicities were assessed by CTCAE 4.0.Overall survival (OS),local recurrence-free survival (LRFS),and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method.Results The short-term tumor response rate was 98％.The follow-up rate was 100％.Twenty-two patients were followed up for at least 2 years.The 1-and 2-year OS rates were 84％ and 48％,respectively; the LRFS rates were 89％ and 85％,respectively; the PFS rates were 61％ and 41％,respectively.Grade 0-1 radiation-related pneumonia was observed in 65％(26/40) of all patients,grade 2 in 25％ (10/40),grade 3 in 5％ (2/40),and grade 5 in 5％ (2/40).Grade 0-1 radiation-related esophagitis was observed in 53％ (21/40) of all patients,grade 2 in 43％ (17/40),and grade 3 in 5 ％ (2/40).Conclusions Preliminary results from this study suggested that IMRT combined with reduction in dose of prophylactic irradiation is safe and effective in patients with stage Ⅲ SCLC and is worth further evaluation in a large,prospective,randomized study.

Objective To quantify the incidental irradiation dose (ⅡD) to lymph node stations of esophagus when treating patients with T1-4N0 M0 thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) with a dose of 60 Gy/30f.Methods Twenty-nine patients with medically inoperable T1-4N0M0 thoracic ESCC were treated with three-dimensional radiotherapy on involved-field.The conformal CTV was re-created using a 3 cm margin in the proximal and distal direction (following the course of the esophagus) beyond the barium esophagogram,endoscopic examination and CT defined GTV and a 0.5 cm margin in the lateral and anteroposterior directions of the CT defined GTV.The PTV encompassed 1 cm proximal and distal margins,0.5 cm radiaI margin on the basis of CTV.Cervical,mediastinal and abdominal lymph nodes were delineated respectively.Equivalent uniform dose (EUD) and other dosimetric paraneters were calculated for each nodal station.Nodal region whose metastasis rate is greater than 5％ was considered a high risk lymph node subgroups.Results Under a 60 Gy dose prescription,the median Dmean and EUD,V40 and V50 were ≥40 Gy,≥85％ and ≥75％ in most of the high risk nodal regions.For the subgroups whose EUD were less than 40 Gy,most of the ⅡD of these regions was significantly associated with the length and location of esophageal tumor (r =0.892,P =0.000).Conclusions Lymph node stations nearby of ESCC received considerable ⅡD with involved-field irradiation which could control subclinical lesions.But more clinical studies should be needed.
