ObjectiveTo explore salivary concentration of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA),interleukin (IL)-6,IL-8 in oral squamous cell carcinoma and its' clinical significance.MethodsForty-two cases with oral squamous cell carcinoma were selected as experience group and 50 healthy persons as control group.ELISA method was performed to detect CEA,IL-6,IL-8 level of salivary and serum in two groups.ResultsThe salivary concentration of CEA,IL-6 and IL-8 was (62.37 ± 20.80)μ g/L,(79.12 ± 30.26)ng/L,( 834.61 ± 231.85 ) ng/L respectively in experience group,(25.72 ± 12.65 ) μ g/L,(0.58 ± 0.25 ) ng/L,(209.71 ± 67.92) ng/L in control group.There was significant difference between two groups(P＜ 0.01 ).The serum concentration of CEA,IL-6 and IL-8 was(61.15 ± 23.69)μ g/L,(58.17 ± 12.83) ng/L,(852.31 ±172.97) ng/L respectively in experience group,and IL-6 level of serum were much lower than that of salivary (P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionsCEA,IL-6 and IL-8 can be biomarkers of oral squamous cell carcinoma.Salivary detection is an ideal auxiliary diagnosis method for its simplicity and sensitivity.

Objective To discuss the clinical effect of Xipayinguyinye on oral bacteria in vitro and gingivitis in vivo.Methods Took the method of agar dilution to measure the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Xipayinguyinye on Porphyromonas gingivalis ( P.gingivalis),Prevotella intermedia ( P.intermedia ) and Fusobacterium nucleatum( F.nucleatum)in vitro;choose 112 patients with simple gingivitis and they were randomly divided into the research group and control group.The research group(56 cases)received the treatment of Xipayiguyinye,while the control group(56 cases)received the treatment without effect components.Both groups received 7 days of treatment and then observed the changes of sulcus bleeding index ( SBI ) and plaque index ( PLI ) before and after the treatment.Results MICof Xipayiguyinye in vitro was 1.0g/L for P.gingivalis and F.nucleatum and 0.5g/L for P.intermedia.There was no statistifically significant difference in SBI and PLI between two groups before the treatment(P ＞0.05) ;there was significant difference in SBI and PLI of research group before and after the treatment ( P ＜ 0.05 ) ; there was no significant difference in SBI and PLI of control group before and after the treatment( P ＞ 0.05 ) ;there was significant difference in SBI and PLI in SBI and PLI between two groups after the treatment ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Xipayiguyinye could prevent bacteriostasis well and decrease the accumulation of dental plaque,reduce SBI and improve the health of the gingiva in vivo.

Objective To develop a portable automatic tourniquet.Methods Using microcomputer and pressure sensor,the pressure and hemostatic time of current pressurized tourniquet were controlled.Results Portable automatic tourniquet was composed of gasbag pressurized bandage,electric micro-pump,pressure sensor,preamplifier,impact damper,A/D converter,single-chip micro-computer controller,data memory,keyboard and its interface circuit,display and its interface circuit,photoelectronic control circuit,etc.Conclusion Portable automatic tourniquet is small,light,safe and convenient.Besides,rapid hemostasia and automatically controlled & stable pressure enable it to be used both in the war and at peace time.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2008,29(2):21-23]

Objective To investigate the endoscopic and pathological characteristics of Barrett's esophagus (BE).Methods Data of 152 patients who were diagnosed as having BE with endoscopy and pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Results BE was most commonly seen in patients of 40-60 years old.The clinical manifestations overlapped in different patients,including regurgitation and heartburn in 78 (51.32%),dysphagia in 9 (5.92%),retrosternal pain in 12 (7.89%),upper abdominal pain or discomfort in 67 (44.08%),and asymptomatic in 8 (5.26%).Long segment BE (LSBE) was determined in 7 patients (4.61%),and short segment BE (SSBE) in 145 (95.39%).The metaplasia pattern under endoscopy included island like in 98 (64.47%),tongue like in 39 (25.66%) and circumferential in 15 (9.87%).Stratified squamous epithelia in the lower part of the esophagus were replaced by columnar epithelia in all cases,and intestinal metaplasia occurred in 68 cases (44.74 %).Conclusion BE is most frequently seen in the middle-aged and can be diagnosed by endoscopy and pathology without special clinical manifestations.Island pattern occurs in most cases and is with lowest rate of intestinal metaplasia,which is associated with age.Patients with specialized intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia should be followed up for surveillance of cancer.

Objective: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune-mediated esophageal disease.The current domestic reports of EoE in children is rare.The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical features, the diagnosis and treatment advance of EoE in children by case analysis and literature review. Method: Clinical data of 22 children with EoE from January, 2011 to December, 2015 in Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine were recorded, retrospective analysis was performed on clinical presentation, gastroendoscopy and histopathological examination features and the treatment. Result: (1) Clinical data: EoE can occur at any age in children (5 months to 13 years). The most common clinical manifestations of EoE are vomiting and abdominal pain, 45% (10/22) and 41%(9/22) respectively. (2) Endoscopy and pathological features of esophageal mucosa: 11 cases with coarse mucous membrane (50%), 6 cases with congestion or erosion of esophageal membrane (27%), 5 cases with longitudinal crack (23%), 3 cases with ring uplift (14%), 3 cases with granular uplift (14%), 3 cases with normal mucosa(14%). Histopathologic manifestation is eosinophil infiltration and the eosinophil counts were all more than or equal to 15/HP. (3) Laboratory results: 13 cases had increasing eosinophil counts and eosinophils proportion (62%). (4)Allergy history: among 22 cases, 7 patients had allergy history (32%). (5) Situation of treatment and remission: 16 cases had clinical remission by oral omeprazole; 2 cases had clinical remission by oral Omeprazole and Montelukast sodium; 1 case acquired remission by elimination diet; 1 case acquired remission by elimination diet and oral prednisone. 2 cases dropped out; Only 2 patients received gastroendoscopy re-examination after 3 months and revealed esophageal mucosal histologic complete recovery. Conclusion The clinical symptoms of EoE in children varies.Esophageal mucosal features of gastroendoscopy examination in children with EoE were longitudinal crack, white exudates or plaques, paper mucosa, ring uplift and granular uplift.Most patients could achieve remission by using proton-pump inhibitors, only few children needed elimination diet and change formula, or even oral glucocorticoids.

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) presents in early childhood, and children have a higher risk of intussusception due to a smaller abdominal space than adults. Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) has been proven to be a safe and effective method for the diagnosis and treatment of small bowel lesions, but the efficacy and safety of its prophylactic polypectomy in children with PJS need to be determined. Data of 6 children (median age 10.6 years) diagnosed as having PJS from 2018 to 2020 were reviewed. DBE was performed 14 times, and 3 children were successfully relieved of intussusception after DBE treatment. The sizes of the resected intussusception polyps were 50 mm×60 mm, 40 mm×35 mm, and 50 mm×40 mm. Symptoms associated with polyps (abdominal pain, intussusception and obstruction) relieved after DBE in all children. No direct complications such as bleeding or perforation were found during the operation, and no recurrence of intussusception was found during follow-up. It can be seen that DBE polypectomy is safe and effective in the treatment of intussusception caused by PJS.
