5.Can antibiotic treatment exclude inflammation in the differential diagnosis of elevated PSA?.
National Journal of Andrology 2012;18(8):747-750
Considering that antibiotic treatment may elevated the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and hence limit the specificity of PSA test for prostate cancer, urologists use empiric antibiotic treatment for men with increased PSA levels. But it is controversial whether antibiotic treatment can exclude inflammation in the differential diagnosis of PSA elevation. Some researchers have found that antibiotic treatment can decrease inflammation-induced PSA elevation and help to reduce unnecessary biopsies, while others have reported that antibiotic treatment has no significant effect on the PSA level, and the lowered level of PSA following antibiotic treatment does not mean the decreased risk of prostate cancer. Further researches are needed to confirm the value of antibiotic treatment before biopsy.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the treatment and prevention of the complications resulted from intraoral mandibular angle reduction.
METHODSFrom July 2002 to August 2008, 672 cases underwent intraoral mandibular angle reduction. The 59 cases with postoperative complications were treated and followed up.
RESULTSNo severe complication happened. In 18 cases with asymmetry, 13 cases improved through soft tissue adjustment, 5 cases were reoperated with good results. Intraoperative precise osteotomy was needed to prevent asymmetry. 3 cases with infection healed with drainage and anti-inflammatory treatment. Intraoperative aseptic manipulation and adequate drainage were necessary to prevent infection. 20 cases with labial numbness recovered 3 - 6 weeks later. 5 cases with temporary facial nerve injury recovered 2 - 3 months later. 12 cases with bleeding and hematoma were treated by dressing with pressure and drainage and healed 3 weeks later. Skin necrosis resulted from tight dressing occurred in one case, which were treated with skin graft. Intraoperative protection of nerve and vessels, as well as the dressing were very important.
CONCLUSIONSMost of the complications can be treated and recovered well. Preoperative design, precise manipulation and postoperative reliable dressing are the key points to prevent complications.

Establishment of quality management system (QMS) plays a critical role in the clinical data management (CDM). The objectives of CDM are to ensure the quality and integrity of the trial data. Thus, every stage or element that may impact the quality outcomes of clinical studies should be in the controlled manner, which is referred to the full life cycle of CDM associated with the data collection, handling and statistical analysis of trial data. Based on the QMS, this paper provides consensus on how to develop a compliant clinical data management plan (CDMP). According to the essential requirements of the CDM, the CDMP should encompass each process of data collection, data capture and cleaning, medical coding, data verification and reconciliation, database monitoring and management, external data transmission and integration, data documentation and data quality assurance and so on. Creating and following up data management plan in each designed data management steps, dynamically record systems used, actions taken, parties involved will build and confirm regulated data management processes, standard operational procedures and effective quality metrics in all data management activities. CDMP is one of most important data management documents that is the solid foundation for clinical data quality.

OBJECTIVETo investigate a new method of genioplasty for treatment of a prominent mandibular angle with mandibular malformation.
METHODSAccording to the different types of the mandible, the prominent mandibular angle was grinded with the masseter muscle kept intact. Autologous micromorselized bone of the grinded mandibular angle was collected and implanted into the chin for augmentation mentoplasty, and the chin was fixed with gypsum after operation.
RESULTSFifteen patients receiving the surgery were followed up for 6 -12 months, and satisfactory effects were achieved in 12 patients. One patient requested modification of the shape of the chin 10 days after the operation, and another two sustained chin distortion due to external forces and underwent subsequent shape adjustment of the chin.
CONCLUSIONThe procedure described avoids graft rejection and causes less complications for genioplasty with easy moulding and satisfactory outcome.

OBJECTIVETo assess the HER-2 status in Chinese advanced gastric cancer patients and explore its correlation with clinical features, treatment response and prognosis.
METHODSA total of 107 patients with advanced gastric cancer treated in our hospital from December 2005 to November 2008 were included in this retrospective analysis. HER-2 status was determined by immunohistochemisty (IHC) and/or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The correlations of HER-2 status with tumor location, pathology, treatment response and prognosis were analyzed and the efficacy of different chemottherapy regimens was compared.
RESULTSThe overall positive rate of HER-2 expression was 14.7% (15/102). The HER-2 status was detected by both methods in 102 patients, and the concordance of the two methods was 66.5%. The tumor site distribution was gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) 28.0%, proximal stomach 19.4%, gastric corpus 16.1%, antrum 26.9% and whole stomach 9.7%, respectively. There was no significant difference of HER-2 status among different tumor sites (P = 0.726), and no significant correlation between HER-2 expression and differentiation (P = 0.110). Among the evaluable 51 patients treated by first-line chemotherapy, the total objective effective rate was 23.5%. The median time-to-progression was 7.47 months, and median overall survival time was 11.07 months. The effective rate was 43.8% in patients who received XP regimen chemotherapy (cisplatin + capecitabine), significantly higher than the 14.3% in patients treated with other regimens (P = 0.033). Their overall survival was 14.17 months and 9.53 months, respectively (P = 0.059). The TTP was 6.63 months in HER-2 positive patients and 7.47 months in HER-2 negative patients, with a non-significant difference (P = 0.510). However, there was a improving tendency in the efficacy and OS, showing a effective rate of 45.5% and 17.5% (P = 0.102) and OS of 14.17 months and 10.63 months, respectively (P = 0.205).
CONCLUSIONSHER-2-positivity rate in Chinese patients with advanced gastric cancer is similar to those reported in the literature. Along with the increasing use of targeted therapy and targeted agents, the efficacy and survival of gastric cancer patients is improving. HER-2-positive patients may benefit from it.
