Objective To explore the value of center vein catheter thoracostomy in the chemotherapy of malignant pleural effusion. Methods Carboplatin and ?-2b Interferon were infused into pleural cavity by implanted center vein catheter in the group observation (n=17). After repeated thoracocentesis, the same drugs were introduced into pleural cavity in the group control (n=29). At the end of the 1st, 3rd and 6th month after drug administration, follow-up was carried out to assess the response rates. Results At the end of the 1st, 3rd and 6th month after intrapleural therapies, the number of intrapleural therapies in the group observation was (2.2?1.9) times and in the group control (5.3?1.3)times, with statistically significant difference between the two groups (t=5.924, P=0.00). Numbers of complete remission (CR) in the group observation was 10 of 16, 11 of 16 and 10 of 15, respectively and in the group control 9 of 29, 11 of 29 and 5 of 19, respectively, producing significant difference (P=0.043, 0.050, 0.020, respectively). Overall response rates in the group observation were 87.5%, 87.5% and 80.0%, respectively, while in control were 62.5%, 68.7% and 66.7%, respectively, without significant difference (P=0.356, 0.114, 0.178, respectively). Compared with the control, long-term follow-up (six months) showed higher response rates in the group observation: 10 of 15 patients remained CR at 6th month after therapies. No significant difference was seen in respect to adverse effects(?2=2.491,P=0.114). Conclusions Intrapleural chemotherapy by center vein catheter may increase CR and decrease application times of Carboplatin and ?-2b Interferon in the treatment of malignant pleural effusion, with fewer side effects.

Objective To explore the effects of interstitial brachytherapy with permanent seed implants on peripheral blood cells, liver functions, renal functions, T cells subgroups and the activity of natural killer cells (NK). Methods Ultrsound-guided or intraoperative implants of radioactive seed 125I were used in 25 patients with pathologically diagnosed and ineradicable malignant tumors. Clinical data of peripheral blood cells, liver functions, renal functions, T cells subgroups and the activity of NK cells prior and after the treatment were compared. Results The white blood cells, hemoglobin and platelet prior the treatment were (6 3?2 2)?10 9/L, (122 7?17 3) g/L and (219 9?117 5)?10 9/L, respectively, while at the 1st and 3rd months after the treatment, these were (6 4?1 8)?10 9/L, (114 5?30 9)g/L, (191 5?59 6)?10 9/L, respectively and (6 1?1 2)?10 9/L, (116 3?16 0) g/L, (191 7?108 2)?10 9/L, respectively, without statistically significant differences ( F =1 893, 0 616, 0 596; P =0 072, 0 779, 0 762). In addition, no significant differences were found in values of ALT, AST, BUN, Cr, CK and CK-MB at different times ( F =1 861, 0 551, 1 740, 1 934, 0 412, 0 052; P =0 118, 0 737, 0 142, 0 105, 0 837, 0 998). The values of TB and DB in patients with pancreatic carcinoma obviously decreased within 1 month after the treatment. Interstitial brachytherapy had little effects on T-cell immunity (CD3, CD4 and CD8) and the activity of NK cells ( F =0 287, 0 520, 0 497, 1 101; P =0 752, 0 598, 0 612, 0 342). Conclusions Interstitial brachytherapy with permanent seed implants has no effects on vital organs and immunologic functions, being a safe and minimally invasive technique for cancer.

Objective:To analyse the anatomical change of the human temporomandibular joint(TMJ) in the position of mandibular lateral displacement and to provide the anatomical data for temporomandibular disorder.Methods:3 of the 8 samples of selected fresh cadavers were adjusted to mandibular lateral displacement position, and 5 to edge-to-edge occlusion position,then samples were fixed and sectioned according to coronal and sagittal planes by using plastination technique. The feature of the thin plastination sections of the TMJ in the mandibular lateral displacement position and were compared with that in edge-to-edge occlusion position.Results:On the working side in mandibular lateral displacement position, condylar moved backwords,upwards and outside in the articular fossa. Articular discs of TMJ did not move following condylar movement,but posterior band of the articular disc was suppressed by the condylar and articular fossa. On the non-working side in mandibular lateral displacement position, condylar moved ahead,downwards and inwards along posterior incline of articular tuberculum,then articular discs did not move,and middle band of articular discs was suppressed by the condyle and articular tuberculum.Conclusions:The TMJ disc does not shift as TMJ condylar process turns in articular fossa.When the condylar turns and slides at the same time,the articular discs shift.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of wave intensity (WI) technique in assessing the short-term effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy(CRT). Methods Sixteen patients with congestive heart failure treated with CRT were chosen. Before the implantation of CRT pacemaker and 1 week, 1 month,3 month after it,the diameters and volumes of left ventricle(LV) in the end-diastole and the end-systole were measured by echocardiography. LV ejection fractions(LVEF) were calculated by Simpson's way,and the variation ratio of left ventricular end-systolic volume(△ESV) was assessed each time after the CRT. The maximal rate of LV pressure rise (LVdP/dtmax) was assessed in the continuous-wave Doppler spectrum of mitral regurgitation. The magnitude of W1, and the length of R-W1 interval as well as W1-W2interval were recorded by WI technique applied on the left carotid artery of each patient. Results Compared to the data before CRT,W1 and W1-W2 interval were significantly higher in different period after CRT (P <0. 01). This result was conformed with echocardiographic remodeling data and LV systolic function.Conclusions WI provides a potential usage in conveniently and effectively assessing the CRT effects in short-term.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of systemic glucocorticoids and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)for the treatment of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Methods Clinical data on TEN inpatients treated with systemic glucocorticoids alone or in combination with IVIG were collected from the Department of Dermatology, First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2006 to December 2012. Therapeutic outcomes were evaluated in these patients. Statistical analysis was carried out by using a multiple linear regression analysis, binary logistic regression analysis and Cox regression analysis with the SPSS 16.0 software. Results A total of 48 inpatients with TEN were included in this study. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the maximum daily dose of glucocorticoids for disease control was decreased gradually over years (β=-0.461, P=0.004). However, binary logistic regression analysis revealed no obvious changes in the frequency of administration of IVIG over years. Cox regression analysis showed that both hospitalization duration (RR=0.351, 95.0%CI:0.150-0.825)and the time required for the control of skin lesions (RR=0.492, 95.0%CI:0.245-0.986)decreased with the increase in the frequency of IVIG administration. In addition, with the increase in the maximum daily dose of glucocorticoids for disease control, the time required for the control of skin lesions was also shortened (RR=0.997, 95.0%CI:0.994 -1.000), while no obvious changes were observed in hospitalization duration. Conclusions IVIG shows superiority in controlling lesions, reducing complications and improving the prognosis of TEN. Compared with systemic glucocorticoids, IVIG shows better therapeutic efficacy and less adverse effects, and may be preferentially selected.
