Objective:To assess the life quality of the patients with tongue cancer after operation.Methods:80 cases of tongue cancer following surgery during 1994 to 1998 were reviewed with questionaire.Scords of University of Washington Quality o f Life (UW-QOL) were analysed to evaluate their life quality.Results:(1) 3-year survival rate was 72.5%,higher survival rate was observed in the patients with I and II stage lesion than those with Ⅲ and Ⅳ stages.(2) 58 cases of survivers had UW-QOL average score of 618. Some patients had serious disability in mastication, swallowing,speaking and shoulder movement.(3)Patients retaining mandible or with skin flap repair had higher quality of life than the others.Conclusion:Following surgery,tongue cancer patients still maintain comparatively high quality of life.Reconstruction of mandibular or tongue is very importent for the life quality of the patients.

Objective To evaluate the safety of CT guided percutaneous lung biopsy in the elderly,and to analyze the risk factors for its complications.Methods Totally 204 elderly patients aged ≥65 years underwent transthoracic needle biopsy under CT guidance.Clinical data,complication and its risk factors were analyzed retrospectively.Results The complications included pneumothorax accounting for 15.2％ (31/204),hemoptysis 21.6％ (44/204),and no mortality was found.Logistic regression analysis showed that needle path ≥5.00 cm,lesion size ≤2.00 cm and emphysema around the lesion were the independent risk factors for postoperative pneumothorax (OR=4.05,2.54 and 3.97,all P＜0.05).Meanwhile,the enhancement degree by CT ＞40 HU,needle path ≥5.00 cm and lesion size ≤2.00 cm were the independent risk factors for postoperative bleeding (OR=2.27,2.82 and 2.33,all P＜0.05) in elderly patients undergoing lung biopsy.The sensitivity and specificity for postoperative pneumothorax and bleeding obtained by forecasting equation were 87.1％ and 49.1％,54.5％ and 80.8％ respectively.Conclusions The length of needle path,lesion size and emphysema around the lesion are correlated with pneumothroax,and length of needle path,lesion size and the CT enhancement degree are correlated with bleeding after percutaneous lung biopsy in the elderly.

Objectives: To study the executive function (EF) profiles in children with ADHD. Methods: 1.We used some neuropsychological tests,including Stroop test, visual and auditory Go/No-Go tasks, digits reciting inverse, delayed spacial position memory span test, tower of London (TOL), tail making test (TMT),to evaluate the capacity of response inhibition, phonological working memory, visual-spacial working memory, planning and set-shifting of subjects. Results: 1.The ADHD children spent more time to accomplish color naming when the word color was inconsistent with the word meaning than normal control (NC) in Stroop test(p﹤0.05). 2.The ADHD children made more errors than NC in both visual and auditory Go/No-Go test(p﹤0.01). 3.The scores of digits reciting inverse was lower in ADHD than NC(p﹤0.01). 4.The representation of ADHD was poorer than NC in delayed spacial position memory span test(p﹤0.01). 5. In TOL test, the ADHD children spent more time in all of two-move, four-move and five-move tasks than NC, and broke rules more frequently than NC(p﹤0.05). 6.In TMT, the ADHD children spent more time and made more errors on part B than NC(p﹤0.05), and there was no significant difference on part A (p﹥0.05). Conclusions: The obvious impaired executive functions are found in children with ADHD, involving poor response inhibition,impaired working memory, dysfunction of planning and set-shifting.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinicopathological features and the differential diagnosis of poroma and porocarcinoma.

METHODSHistopathological characteristics and clinical data of 35 cases of poroma and 10 cases of porocarcinoma were analyzed retrospectively.

RESULTSThe average age of 35 patients of poroma was 48 years. The average age of 10 patients of porocarcinoma was 65 years. Both poroma and porocarcinoma occured most frequently on the scalp and face,as well as the extremities. Histologically, cases of poroma were divided into three subtypes, including classic poroma (23 cases), hidroacanthoma simplex (3 cases) and dermal duct tumor (9 cases). Residual foci of benign poroma were found in all cases of porocarcinoma, most of which were classic poroma. The malignant components showed severe dysplasia and/or stromal infiltration.

CONCLUSIONThe diagnosis of poroma and porocarcinoma is mainly based on the microscopic characteristics. An invasive architectural pattern and/or significant cytologic pleomorphism are the most important clues for the diagnosis of porocarcinoma. Neither focal mitotic activity nor the presence of necrosis was the diagnostic feature of porocarcinoma. Malignant transformation can occur in some cases of long existing poroma with recent, rapid tumor enlargement.

Objective To investigate the expression of angiotensinⅡ (Ang Ⅱ ) and its type 1 receptor (AT1) in circulation, placenta and kidney of the rots preeclampsia. Methods Preedampsia rat model was developed by inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (L-NAME). The systolic blood pressure (SBP), 24 h urine protein, hepatic and renal function were compared among the precelampsia group, the normal pregnant group and nonpregnant control group. The kidney tissue was observed by light microscopy. ELISA and radioimmunoassay were used to detect Ang Ⅱ in rat plasma and kidney homogenate respectively. Placental AT1 was measured by Westem blot. The level of kidney AT1 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Results In preeclampsia rats, SBP and 24 h urine protein were significantly higher compared with control groups. Compared to normal pregnant group, plasma Ang Ⅱ of preeclampsia rats was much higher [(0.706±0.086) ng/L vs (0.540±0.085) ng/L, P＜0.05]; placental AT1 was increased by 46%(P＜ 0.05); kidney Ang Ⅱ was decreased signigicantly [(65.543±40.634) ng/g vs (165.543±33.078) ng/g, P＜0.05]. The expression of ATI in kidney of preeclampsia rats was reduced evidently,which was only 33% of normal pregnancy group and 59% of nonpregnant control greup,respeetively (P＜0.05). Conclusions In preeclampsia rat model, the circulating Ang Ⅱ is increased, the placental RAS isactivated, while the kidney BAS is suppressed. The underlying mechanism of proteinuria and kidney damage associated with this phenomenon in preeclampsia needs further research.

Objective To control the image quality and to optimize the scan protocols of 64 multi-slice CT coronary imaging by analyzing factors that influence the image quality.Methods Seventy-eight patients with known or suspected CAD underwent CT coronary angiography using 64 multi-slice CT.The image quality in those cases was analyzed retrospectively to derive the optimized scan protocols.The application value of the override function was discussed.The dependency of cardiac reconstruction algorithms and corresponding image quality on patient heart rates was analyzed.In addition,the relationship between heart rate and the contrast-enhancement effect was studied.Results(1)Correct use of override function could improve the quality of cardiac images.(2)For patients with heart rates below 70 beats per minute,the image quality of single-segment reconstruction was satisfactory.For patients with heart rates between 70 and 79 beats per minute,the scores of images reconstructed with two-segments were better than that of single-segment reconstruction.(3)In the group with averaged heart rate of 60.7 beats per minute,the forecast contrast quantity of 70 ml was judged insufficient in 65.7%(23/35)cases;while for the group with averaged heart of 71.1 beats per minute,52.9%(18/34)cases were enhanced well.Conclusion The use of override function,correct segment mode and appropriate contrast quantity could be selected according to the heart rate,which could improve the image quality and reliability.

Objective To investigate the association of the expressions of glomerular nephrin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor (VEGFR) with proteinuria in preeclampsia rats. Methods A rat model of preeclampsia was developed by inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (L-NAME). The systolic blood pressure (SBP) and 24 h urine protein were compared among the normal female group (n=6), the normal pregnant group (n=8), nonpregnant control group (n=6) and preeclampsia group(n=8). The kidney biopsies of each group were observed by light and electron microscopy. The glomerular nephrin was detected by Western blotting and real-time PCR. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of WT1. The level of glomerular VEGF and VEGFR (Flt-1 and Flk-1) were evaluated by Western blotting. Results The level of glomerular nephrin protein in the rats with preeclampsia (0.0726±0.0074) was significantly lower compared with normal female group (0.3795±0.0509), normal pregnant group (0.2361±0.0437) and nonpregnant control group (0.7265±0.0503) (P＜0.01, respectively), while the levels of nephrin mRNA were not significantly different among 4 groups. The expression of WT1 was not significantly different among 4 groups as well. The level of glomerular VEGF in preeclampsia group (1.5429±0.0898) was significantly higher compared with normal female group (1.1870±0.1160), normal pregnant group (1.3741 ±0.1165) and nonpregnant control group (1.0155±0.0742)(P＜0.01,respectively). VEGFR (Flt-1 and Flk-1) was also significantly higher in preeclampsia rats compared with other control groups (P＜0.05, respectively). Conclusions In preeclampsia rats, nephrin is decreased significantly and the glomerular VEGF-VEGFR is increased significantly compared with the other control groups. The abnormal expression of nephrin and VEGF-VEGFR may be involved in the preeclampsia proteinuria. The underlying mechanism of this phenomenon needs further research.
