Objective To evaluate treatment effects and to determine the prognostic factors of primary orbital lymphoma. Methods From March 1984 to October 2000, 44 primary orbital lymphoma patients were admitted into our hospital, with 27 males and 17 females. Twenty-seven patients had eyelid or conjunctiva primary, and 17 patients orbit primary. Patient's age ranged from 14 to 86 years (median, 50.5years). According to the Ann Arbor Staging System, there were 40 ⅠEA, 4 ⅡEA lesions. Cobolt-60 ?ray was given first to the whole orbit to 30-35?Gy followed by 180 kv X-rays or 9 Mev ?-beam to the focus to a total dose of 41.0-51.5?Gy (median, 46.5?Gy). Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival. Log-rank test was used to detect the difference between groups.Results Only 1 patient failed from primary site and 5 patients from distant metastasis after radiotherapy. The 5-year and 10-year cause-specific survival rate were 90.9% and 84.5%, respectively. On univariate and multivariate analyses, eyelid or conjunctiva localization and Ann Arbor stage ⅠEA were independent favorable prognostic factors for survival. The 5-year survival was much higher in eyelid or conjunctiva patients than in orbital ones (96.3% vs 70.6%, P=0.013). The survival time was longer in stage Ⅰ than in stage Ⅱ (P=0.000). Neither the RT dose nor the age or sex influenced the outcome.Conclusions Localized orbital lymphoma can be well controlled with low-dose RT alone. Patients with eyelid or conjunctival localization and stage Ⅰ have better cause-specific survival.

Objective:
To investigate the degree and influencing factors of glycosylated hemoglobin ( HbA1c ) control among patients with type 2 diabetes ( T2DM ) living in rural communities of Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the reference for optimizing the management of diabetes patients in rural communities.
Methods:
Permanent adult patients with T2DM that were registered and received standardized management in all communities of Jiashan County and Suichang County, and 6 communities of Yongkang City, Zhejiang Province in 2016 were recruited, and their demographic characteristics were captured from the health record system and chronic disease management system. The height, body weight, waist circumstance and blood pressure were measured, and HbA1c and blood lipid parameters were detected. The degree of HbA1c control ( <7% ) was analyzed, and its influencing factors were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 10 339 patients with T2DM were enrolled, including 4 520 men ( 43.72% ) and 5 819 women ( 56.28% ), with a mean age of ( 63.54±9.78 ) years and the mean course of diabetes of ( 6.36±4.73 ) years. The rate of HbA1c control was 47.89%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that males ( OR=1.123, 95%CI: 1.024-1.233 ), region ( Suichang, OR=2.413, 95%CI: 2.106-2.765; Yongkang, OR=2.460, 95%CI: 2.188-2.767 ), course of disease ( 5-9 years, OR=1.724, 95%CI: 1.504-1.977; 10 years and longer, OR=2.881, 95%CI: 2.477-3.351 ), use of hypoglycemic drugs ( OR=1.203, 95%CI: 1.089-1.329 ), development of chronic complications ( OR=1.190, 95%CI: 1.027-1.379 ), uncontrolled blood pressure ( OR=1.140, 95%CI: 1.030-1.261 ), uncontrolled blood lipid ( OR=1.258, 95%CI: 1.104-1.433 ), and smoking ( OR=1.318, 95%CI: 1.165-1.491 ) were statistically associated with HbA1c control among T2DM patients.
Conclusion
The rate of HbA1c control was 47.89% among T2DM patients in rural communities of Zhejiang Province. HbA1c control should be given a high priority among men living in low-economic-level regions with long course of disease, use of hypoglycemic drugs, chronic complications, smoking, uncontrolled blood pressure and lipid.

Objective:
To investigate thestatus and control of blood lipid level among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)in rural communities of Zhejiang Province,and to provide evidence for blood lipid control for T2DM.
Methods:
A sample of 10 343 patients with T2DM managed by communities from Jiashan,Suichang and Yongkang in 2016 were recruited. Through the diabetes registry system,physical examination and laboratory tests,data of demographic features,blood pressure,body mass index(BMI),waist circumstance(WC),glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)were collected to learn the status of blood lipid control. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the influencing factors for blood lipid control.
Results:
The control rate of TC,TG,LDL-C and HDL-C in patients with T2DM was 29.84%,58.72%,48.25% and 61.27%,respectively. About 11.76% of patients had all the four indicators in control,while 9.22% of patients failed in all. The higher control rates of all of the four indicators were seen in males than females,in older age,in lower BMI and in normal people than in central obese people(all P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sex(OR=3.556,95%CI:3.070-4.119),age(OR=1.130,95%CI:1.060-1.204),WC(OR=0.989,95%CI:0.980-0.998),
BMI(OR=0.768,95%CI:0.688-0.857),systolic blood pressure(OR=0.991,95%CI:0.984-0.999),HbA1c level(OR=0.914,95%CI:0.876- 0.953),smoking(OR=0.768,95%CI:0.639-0.924)and drinking(OR=0.688,95%CI:0.536-0.884)were associated with the control of TC,TG,LDL-C and HDL-C in patients with T2DM.
Conclusion
The control rate of blood lipid is low in patients with T2DM in rural communities of Zhejiang Province,surveillance and interventions should be focused on sex,overweight/obesity,smoking,alcohol intake,blood glucose and blood pressure.

Objective To investigate the methods of diagnosis and treatment of pediatric and hebetic adrenocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH) secreting pituitary microadenoma. Methods The data of 10 patients with ACTH secreting pituitary microadenoma were retrospectively analysed. ACTH secreting pituitary microadenoma was diagnosed by clinical manifestations, biochemical and imaging findings, and 5 patients underwent bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling ( BIPSS). Transsphenoidal surgery was performed on all the patients under microscope, and the tumor specimens were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Immunohistochemical examination revealed that ACTH was positive in 8 cases and negative in 2 cases. Patients were followed up for 12 to 63 months, 7 cases (70%) were cured, one (10%) achieved remission, and the other two (20%) experienced recurrence. Conclusion BIPSS is helpful in the diagnosis and localization of pediatric and hebetic ACTH pituitary microadenoma, and transsphenoidal surgery is the optimal choice of treatment.

Objective To investigate the expressions of Th17, CD4 +CD25 +Treg, HLA-DR mRNA in peripheral blood of children with EV71-induced hand, foot and mouth diseases ( HFMD ) and their clinical significance.Methods Stratified random sampling was used to select 60 children with HFMDs from Liaocheng People’s Hospital from February to October, 2014, including 20 mild, 20 severe and 20 critically ill cases.Twenty healthy children were also enrolled as the control group.All the children with HFMDs were given ribavirin (10 mg/kg) for the treatment.The percentages of Th17 and CD4 +CD25 +Treg cells in CD4 +T cells of peripheral blood were determined by flow cytometry, and the expression of HLA-DR mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR).Analysis of variance and SNK-q test were used to compare the expressions of Th17, CD4 +CD25 +Treg and HLA-DR mRNA among groups, and Pearson correlation analysis was performed to reveal the correlations between HLA-DR mRNA and Th17, CD4 +CD25 +Treg.Results Compared with the control group, the expression of Th17 was increased, while CD4 +CD25+Treg and HLA-DR mRNA expressions were decreased in children with HFMDs on d1 of treatment (F=310.4, 81.5 and 545.4, P<0.01).After treatment, Th17 levels in mild group, severe group and surviving children of critically ill group were decreased, CD4 +CD25 +Treg and HLA-DR mRNA expressions were increased, while in fatal cases, Th17 level was still on the rise, and CD4 +CD25+Treg and HLA-DR mRNA expressions were still decreasing. After 10 d of treatment, the difference in Th17 and CD4 +CD25 +Treg levels among mild group, severe group, surviving children of critically ill group and control group was of no statistical significance ( P >0.05), but Th17 level in fatal was still higher and CD4 +CD25 +Treg level was still lower than those in control group (t=16.4 and 12.0, P<0.05).After 10 d of treatment, HLA-DR mRNA expressions in mild group and severe group were increased to the normal level.HLA-DR mRNA expression in surviving patients of critical ill group was still lower than that in mild group and severe group (P<0.05), but was higher than that in fatal patients (t=7.8, P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that, HLA-DR mRNA was negatively correlated with Th17 level (r=-0.770, P<0.01), and positively correlated with CD4 +CD25 +Treg level (r=0.883, P<0.01).Conclusion The expressions of Th17, CD4 +CD25 +Treg cells, and HLA-DR mRNA are correlated with the severity of HFMD, and may be used for evaluation of disease severity and prediction of disease outcomes.

One patient confirmed as pituitary carcinoma by histopathology was retrospectively analyzed according to the great changes of tumor invasive growth in imaging examine and clinical characters. Clinically,pituitary carcinoma quickly grows,and the growth character of tumor is helpful in the diagnosis. Moreover,the treatment for pituitary carcinoma is different from pituitary adenoma.The rapid progress of pituitary adenoma indicates the possibility of primary carcinoma.More experience should be accumulated for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and clinical outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:From July 2014 to October 2017, patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to Jiangsu Shengze Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were enrolled retrospectively. Their demographic and baseline clinical and laboratory data were collected. The modified Rankin Scale was used to evaluate the clinical outcome at 3 months after the onset of symptoms. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent correlation between SCH and clinical outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Results:A total of 200 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 107 males (53.5%) and 93 females (46.5%). Their age was 69.67±11.38 years. There were 45 patients (22.5%) with SCH, 160 (80.0%) with good outcomes, and 40 (20.0%) had poor outcomes. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, stroke etiology classification and the proportion of patients with SCH between the poor outcome group and the good outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high NIHSS score (odds ratio 2.884, 95% confidence interval 2.005-4.147; P=0.001) and SCH (odds ratio 19.527, 95% confidence interval 2.334-163.386; P=0.006) were the independent risk factors for poor outcomes. Conclusion:High NIHSS score and SCH were associated with the poor outcomes at 3 months after the onset of acute ischemic stroke.
