OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the feasibility and clinical characteristics of small partial laryngectomy without tracheotomy for T1-2 stage glottic carcinoma.
METHOD:
Forty-five patients with laryngeal squamaous cell carcinoma in T1-2 stage received small partial laryngectomy without tracheotomy.
RESULT:
All patients were primarily healed and were hospitalized for an average of 11.5 days post-operatively. In all patients, the function of respiration and the reflection of cough were normal, and laryngeal obstruction did not happen. The only postoperative complication was subcutaneous emphysema noted in 29 patients. Among them, subcutaneous emphysema extincted after 4-6 days in 26 patiens, only 3 patiens suffered from delayed healing because the subcutaneous emphysema extincted after 2 weeks. Mild subcutaneous emphysema did not affect the function of respiration and deglutition, healing of wound, and psychology of patients. All patients had been followed-up for 1-13 years. Only 2 patients died of tumor recurrence or metastasis. The function of respiration and deglutition were normal in the living patients, and no implanting metastasis on surface of trachea were found.
CONCLUSION
The theoretical foundation of small partial laryngectomy without tracheotomy for T1-2 stage glottic carcinoma has been well established. This surgical technique is feasible, safe and effective. It can significantly improve clinical outcome of T1-2 stage glottic carcinoma with minimal invasiveness. Furthermore, it can obviously abate the surgical, physiological and psychological trauma on patients.

Objective To analyze retrospectively the impact of different heart rates on image quality and radiation dose of coronary angiography using 640-slice dynamic volume CT.Methods A total of 461 patients with suspected coronary artery disease or referred to health check underwent coronary angiography with 640-slice dynamic volume CT.Two groups were created according to their heart rates:Group A had heart rate < 65 beats per minute (n=337)and Group B had heart rate between 65 to 122 beats per minute (n=124).Image quality was assessed by analyzing the 1 5 segments of the main coronary branches using 3-grade scale (grade I-good,grade Ⅱ-acceptable,grade Ⅲ-poor).Effective radiation dose was also evaluated.Results Patients in both A group and B group performed successful CT coronary angiography with a total of 6 91 5 coronary segments.Among them,coronary segments that could be evaluated reliably accounted for 94.5% (6 535/6 91 5)while 5.5% (380/6 91 5)were too small (≤1.5 mm)to be assessed. For the image quality,Group A and Group B had grade I in 90.5% (305/337)vs 74.2% (92 /124),grade Ⅱ in 9.5% (32/337)vs 21.0% (26 / 124)and grade Ⅲ in 0 % (0 / 337 )vs 4.8% (6 / 124),respectively.Image quality was significantly different be-tween Group A and Group B (P <0.001).In addition,32 patients (9.5%)in Group A had slight cardiac motion artifacts but with-out affecting image quality,whereas 26 patients (21.0%)in Group B had higher degree of cardiac motion artifacts thus graded as grade Ⅱ.Stair-step artifacts were not found in all patients.The effective radiation dose was higher in Group B than in Group A by 32.05%(7.91±0.34 mSv vs 5.99±0.17 mSv).Conclusion Coronary angiography using 640-slice dynamic volume CT can guarantee excellent image quality when heart rate < 65 beats per minute.Although the image quality would decrease in some extent it is still diagnostic when heart rate is between 65 to 122(include 65 and 122)beats per minute.

OBJECTIVESome research has shown that the brain white matter damage is closely related to apoptosis of pre-oligodendrocytes. The relationship of bcl-2 protein, a protein of anti-apoptosis, with brain white matter damage in neonatal rats is rarely reported. This study examined the changes of bcl-2 protein expression following brain white matter damage in neonatal rats.
METHODSNinety 2-day-old Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: experimental group (n=45) and control group (n=45). Brain white matter damage was induced by ligation of the right common artery, followed by 6% hypoxia exposure in the rats from the experimental group. The rats of the control group were sham-operated, without hypoxia-ischemia treatment. The expression of bcl-2 protein in the periventricular white matter and the callositas was detected by immunohistochemical technique. Apoptosis of neurocytes in these tissues was detected by TUNEL.
RESULTSThe apoptosis index of neurocytes in the experimental group was up-regulated at 4, 12 and 24 hrs and at 3 and 7 days, peaking at 3 days after white matter damage, compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The expression of bcl-2 protein in the experimental group began to increase at 1 hr, reached a peak at 12 hrs and remained a higher level until 3 days after white matter damage compared with that observed in the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe expression of bcl-2 protein increased at the early stage of white matter damage in neonatal rats. The peak of apoptosis lagged behind that of the bcl-2 protein expression, which suggests that bcl-2 protein may have protective effects against neuronal apoptosis.
