Objective To investigate the clinical effect of 153 Sm-EDTMP treatment on pain palliation in the patients with bone metastasis of lung cancer, breast cancer or prostate cancer. Methods 166 patients with bone metastasis of cancers were intravenously injected 18.5～37 MBq/kg (0.5～1.0 mCi/kg ) body weight of 153 Sm-EDTMP, once a month or two months. Results The effective rate of pain palliation of 153 Sm-EDTMP treating bone metastasis of lung cancer, preast cancer and prostate cancer were 68.5%, 89.3% and 100%, respectively. The efficacious rate of pain palliation in breast and prostate cancers was significantly higher than that in lung cancer (P

Objective To investigate the passive smoking prevalence and its influencing factors among residents aged 15 and ol-der in Chongqing City ,and provide the evidence for the government to make tobacco control policy or improve the present tobacco control policy ,reduce the harm of secondhand smoke .Methods 753 non-smoker residents was investigated by using the multi-stage random sampling .Results The passive smoking rate of residents aged 15 and older in Chongqing city is 45 .95% ,among which ,the male′s is 43 .13% ,the female′s is 47 .45% ,there is no significant difference between gender distribution .There is a significant difference among different age groups(P<0 .05) ,the passive smoking rate of people aged 25 to 34 is the highest(55 .17% ) .There is a significant difference among different occupational groups (P<0 .05) ,the passive smoking rate of the people who engaged in commercial service is the highest(58 .01% ) .There is no significant difference among education level groups .About the non-smok-ers′attitudes to others smoking around ,the higher education level people have ,the more they will care about this ,the number of fe-male(87 .98% ) is significantly higher than male(70 .99% ) .Conclusion The harm of secondhand smoke to the residents aged 15 and older in Chongqing City is high ,so strengthening legislation and law enforcement is necessary to prevent the public exposure to secondhand smoke and reduce passive smoking level .

Objective To explore the CT features in CD_(117)-weak and CD_(117)-negative gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GIST).Methods The CD_(117)-weak and CD_(117)-negative Gist proved by pathologically and sur- gically in 13 cases were retrospectively analyzed.Results The tumor was located in the stomach in 6 cases, small intestine in 4 cases,colorectum in 2 cases,greater omentum in one case.The most common clinical manifestations were abdominal pain or discomfort in 6 cases,hematemesis or melena in 3 cases.Malignant tu- mors occurred in 8 cases.Benign tumors occurred in 5 cases.A soft tissue was identified in all 13 cases in CT examination.The CT examinations revealed cystic regions and bleeding in 5 cases.Calcification was not noted within the masses in all cases.The mean diameter of benign tumors was 3.4 cm?2.8 cm while that of malig- nant tumor was 7.5 cm?6.2 cm.All the cases underwent operation,the resection rate was 100%.After follow up from 6 months to 4 years in 10 cases,1 case died of tumor recurrence and metastasis,the others survived. Conclusion CD_(117)-weak and CD_(117)-negative Gist occurred more common in the stomach.CT is useful in lo- cation and differentiation of CD_(117)-weak and CD_(117)-negative gastric stromal tumors with regard to benign or malignant.Surgery is the main method for final diagnosis and treatment.

AIM:To evaluate 23G vitrectomy for macular edema in eyes with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) combined with vitreoretinal traction (VMT) or epiretinal membrane (ERM).METHODS:Totally 22 patients (22 eyes) diagnosed with macular edema of RVO combined with VMT or ERM were retrospectively analyzed.Twelve cases performed with 23G vitrectomy together with peeling of inner limiting membrane (ILM) and/or ERM were considered as the observation group or intervention group.Ten cases without vitrectomy were recruited as control group.The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central retinal thickness (CRT) at baseline, 1, 3 and 6mo were recorded and compared.RESULTS:At baseline, the difference of BCVA and CRT between observation group and control group was not statistically significant (P=0.645, 0.206).After vitrectomy, the BCVA and CRT of RVO patients in observation group were significantly improved compared with baseline at each follow-up (F=2.895, P=0.048;F=16.431, P<0.01).However, the BCVA and CRT in control group remained the same as baseline at every follow-up.Moreover, the BCVA and CRT in observation group were much better than that in control group at both 3 and 6mo after vitrectomy.However, the BCVA and CRT between two groups were not significantly different at 1mo postoperatively.CONCLUSION:The 23G vitrectomy could markedly improve BCVA and reduce CRT in RVO patients with macular edema combined with VMT and/or ERM.

Drug safety has always been a global focus. Discovery and accurate information acquisition of adverse drug reaction have been the most crucial concern. Terminology of adverse drug reaction makes adverse reaction medical report meaningful, standardized and accurate. This paper discussed the domestic use of the terminology WHOART and MedDRA in terms of content, structure, and application situation. It also analysed the differences between the two terminologies and discusses the future trend of application in our country

To explore the utility of apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)histogram analysis for differentiating genetic subtypes of diffuse lower-grade gliomas. A total of 55 patients with WHO grade Ⅱ/Ⅲ diffuse lower-grade gliomas who underwent preoperative routine brain magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion weighted imaging in our center were retrospectively evaluated.Among whom there were 14 patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase(IDH)wild-type gliomas(IDH group),19 patients with IDH-mutant 1p19q intact gliomas(IDH 1p19q group),and 22 patients with IDH-mutant 1p19q co-deleted gliomas(IDH 1p19q group).The whole-lesion ADC values derived from histogram analysis(including ADC,ADC,ADC5%,ADC10%,ADC25%,ADC50%,ADC75%,ADC90%,ADC95%,ADC,mode,range,skewness,kurtosis,standard deviation,inhomogeneity,and entrophy)were measured for each patient.All parameters between the different genetic subtypes were compared by using the Student's test or Mann-Whitney test.Receiver operating curve(ROC)analysis was used to assess the diagnostic performance of ADC histogram in distinguishing the different genetic subtypes. Compared with IDH group,the ADC75%(=0.021),ADC90%(=0.015),ADC95%(=0.014),ADC (=0.035),range(=0.009),standard deviation(=0.001)and inhomogeneity(=0.001)were significantly lower in IDH group;in contrast,the ADC (=0.031)and kurtosis(=0.020)of IDH group were significantly higher than those in IDH group.The ADC(=0.010),ADC5%(=0.016),ADC10%(=0.012),ADC25%(=0.007),ADC50%(=0.005),ADC75%(=0.015),and mode(=0.002)were significantly higher in IDH 1p19q group than in IDH 1p19q group.Inhomogeneity achieved the highest area under ROC(AUC)(0.811)in differentiating IDH gliomas and IDH gliomas,with a cutoff value of 0.229;the sensitivity and specificity were 85.7% and 73.2%.The mode achieved the highest AUC(0.744)in differentiating IDH 1p19q gliomas and IDH 1p19q gliomas,with a cutoff value was 1448.75×10 mm /s;the sensitivity and specificity were 57.9% and 90.9%. ADC histograms analysis may be helpful to differentiate genetic subtypes in lower-grade gliomas.
