Purpose:To evaluate the results of combination chemotherapy with MxFL[mitoxantrone(MIT),Fluaroracil (5 FU),Leucovorin (CF)]in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.Methods:From 1993 through 1998,41 patients with metastatic breast cancer were enrolled in this study, Twenty six patients had no prior chemotherapy and 15 were had prior chemotherapy in nineteen patients estrogen receptor (ER) was positive. MIT 12 mg/m 2 by was given intravenous titrate the first day; continuous 5 FU 320 mg/m 2 by intravenous titrate the first day;continuous 5 FU 320 mg/m 2 by intravenous titrate was given for one hundred and twenty hours during the first day to the fifth day; at the same time, CF 50 mg/m 2 by intravenous titrate, once every twelve hours for five days. Repeated every three weeks. Results:Complete response was observed in 11 patients and partial response was observed in 19 patients with an overall response rate of 73.2%. The median response duration was 17 months and the median survival period was 23 months. The dose limiting toxicity was neutropenia which was seen in 85.4% of the treated cases (19.5% in grades Ⅲ and Ⅳ). Stomatitis was observed in 9.8% of the patients and local venous toxicity was observed in 12.2% of the patients. Conclusions:A high response rate is obtained in metastatic breast cancer treated by MxFL. Such treatment may be used as first line chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the protective effect of ketamine and dexamethasone on lung injury in esophageal cancer thoracotomy. METHODS:60 patients with one-lung ventilation thoracotomy were randomly divided into 4 groups:blank group (group S),ketamine group(group K),dexamethasone group(group D)and ketamine and dexamethasone group(group KD)by number. After surgery,the patient-controlled epidural anaigesia (PCEA) was used to record the concentrations of IL-6,IL-8, TNF-α with the time point of preoperative 30 min (T0),60 min after one-lung ventilation (OLV)(T1),120 min after the OLV (T2),2 h after restore double-lung ventilation(T3),the changes of respiratory index(RI)in blood gas analysis and the analgesic effect and adverse reactions in 48 h after treatment. RESULTS:There was no obvious difference between the blood pressure and heart rate in 4 groups. Compared with T0,the RI values in T1,T2 and T3 were increased;compared with group KD,the RI values in T2 and T3 in group K,group D and group S were increased;compared with T0,the concentrations of IL-6 and IL-8 in T1,T2 and T3 were increased(P<0.05);compared with group S,the concentrations of IL-6 and IL-8 in T1,T2 and T3 in group D,group F and group KD were decreased(P<0.05);compared with group KD,the concentrations of IL-6 and IL-8 in T2 and T3 in group D and group K were higher(P<0.05),there was no significant difference between group D and group K(P>0.05)and the con-centration of TNF-α in 4 groups was lower than minimum detectable concentrations;compared with group KD,the scores of anal-gesia visual analogue scale(VAS)and Prince-Henry in postoperative 48 h in group K and group S were higher(P<0.05);com-pared with group D,group S and group K,the total number of press PCEA and the total amount of analgesic in group KD were de-creased (P<0.05) and the incidence of postoperative nausea was low (P<0.05);there was no significant difference in the inci-dence of postoperative delirium in 4 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Ketamine and dexamethasone can reduce the release of inflammatory mediators,decrease the RI values,increase the analgesia effect and has certain protective effect on lung injury.

Objective To explore more satisfactory results in correcting the aesthetically short nose combined with low and blunt nasal tip by using autologous cartilage grafts.Methods External rhinoplasty approach was preferred.Nasal septal cartilage and auricular cartilage or rib cartilage of patients were adopted,as necessary,various shapes of grafts were carved,such as septal extention graft,columella strut and shift graft.Then we used these autologous cartilage grafts with suture and removal techniques to correct the aesthetically short nose combined with low and blunt nasal tip.The length of the nose (n-prn) and the projection of nasal tip (sn-prn) were measured before and after the operation.Paired t-test was adopted to evaluate the results.Results Thirty-one patients accepted the nasal tip rhinoplasty with autologous cartilage whose nasal tip was over rotation,blunt and low.All the patients were followed up for 3 months.Thirty patients satisfied with the results,accounting for 96.7 ％ of the total.()ne (3.3 ％) patient dissatisfied with the result because of postoperative asymmetry nostrils.Nose length before and after surgery was significantly different (P＜0.05).Nasal tip projection before and after surgery was also significantly improved (P＜0.05).Conclusions It is an effective method to use autologous cartilage graft for correcting the aesthetically short nose combined with low and blunt na sal tip,with low complications.

Objective To observe the clinical effect and comfortable degree of the mode of super hair removal. Methods The mode of super hair removal was used to depilate the hair nearby the hair line, cheeks, upper lip, beard, ventrum, areola of breast, axillary cavity, extremities, bikini area and so on. The total number of sites was 1 000. Some sites that were especially susceptible to pain, for example, upper lip and buccal region, were smeared with compound lidocaine cream for 1 hour at least before treatment. Results Hairs in the areas of extremities, ventrum, back and axillary cavity generally needed 4 to 5 times to eradicate, and the patients had no evident discomfortableness; hairs near to the upper lip and lower mandible generally needed 5 to 7 times to reach the effect which the patient was content, and anesthetics was indispensable, or the patients would present discomfortableness. Conclusions The mode of super hair removal is more effective, quicker and more comfortable in comparison with conventional methods. Therefore, it deserves to be spread.

Objective To investigate the viral prevalence of acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRTI)in children. Methods Totally 1165 children with clinical diagnosis of ALRTI during the period from August 2007 to September 2008 were involved in our study. The nasopharyngeal aspirate specimen was collected from each patient. RT-PCRs were performed to detect common respiratory tract viruses including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), rhinovirus (HRV), parainfluenza virus (PIV, type 1 -3 ), influzenza virus type A and B (IFA,IFB), and PCR was used to detect adenovirus (ADV). Results 783 patients were identified to have at least one kind of viral pathogens and the overall positive rate was 67.2%. The most common virus was RSV (27%), followed by HRV ( 17.4% ) and PIV3 ( 13. 9% ). The peak infection seasons were winter and autumn. The etiological spectrum of ALRTI varied in different age groups. Two or more viruses were identified in 284 out of 783 cases ( 36. 3% ). The mixed infection rate was high in infants under 1 year old (63.7%) while it decreased to 8. 5% in children older than 3 years of age. Conclusion RSV, HRV and PIV3 were the most predominant pathogens in children less than 1 year old. The peak infection seasons were winter and autumn. The infection rate and mixed infection rate in infants under 1 year old were highest. The most common style was RSV and HRV mixed infection.

OBJECTIVELooking for an objective biomedical index to distinguish types and phases of hemangioma in order to provide an objective basis for selecting clinical treatment to hemangioma.

METHODSELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) was used to determine serum VEGF concentration of 15 patients with proliferative hemangioma, 6 with involuted hemangioma, 6 with vascular malformation and 8 infants of the control group.

RESULTSThe serum VEGF concentrations of 15 proliferative hemangioma patients were significantly higher than those of involuted hemangioma patients, vascular malformation patients and control group infants. The serum VEGF concentrations of involuted hemangioma patients were a little bit higher than those of vascular malformation patients and control group infants, but without statistic significance.

CONCLUSIONSELISA could easily and accurately determine the serum VEGF concentration of different types and different phases of hemangioma. The determination of serum VEGF concentration could provide guidance for selecting a protocol of systemic corticosteroid treatment for proliferative hemangioma. Combined with gene expression and distribution of VEGF and its receptors and some other cytokines, the determination of serum VEGF concentration could help elucidate the mechanism of proliferative hemangioma.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the prevalence of serum antibodies against Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in bats.

METHODSBlood samples from the heart were obtained from bats captured in Guangdong and Hainan Provinces in 2013. The anti-JEV antibodies in bat sera were tested using indirect ELISA and virus neutralization test.

RESULTSA total of 201 bat serum samples were tested, in which the total positivity rate of anti-JEV antibodies was 46.27% (93/201). The positive rate of anti-JEV antibodies in bats from Hainan and Guangdong Provinces was 88.89% (48/54) and 30.61% (45/147), respectively. All the samples from Rousettus leschenaultia, Miniopterus schreibersii, Pipistrellus abramus, and Rhinolophus macrotis were positive for anti-JEV antibodies, and up to 95.56% (43/45) of the samples from Miniopterus schreibersii (from Hainan Province) yielded positive results. Of the 28 samples with positive results by indirect ELISA, 15 showed positive results in virus neutralization test (53.57%) with neutralization antibody titers ranging from 1:10 to 1:28.22.

CONCLUSIONBats from different regions and of different species can be naturally infected with JEV and have a high prevalence of anti-JEV antibodies in their sera. The role of bats in the natural cycle of JEV awaits further study.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of combined teaching of optical laryngoscope and general laryngoscope on anesthesia undergraduate practice.Methods:A total of 40 anesthesia undergraduate students were randomly divided into group A (using the optical laryngocope only in the first month and the general laryngoscope only in the second month, n=20), and group B (using the general laryngocope only in the first month and the optical laryngoscope only in the second month, n=20). The teaching effect was evaluated through the first month and the second month of tracheal intubation assessment and questionnaire survey results. SPSS 23.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:In the first month, the success rate was 90% in group A and 60% in group B, which showed that the success rate of group B was lower, with significant differences ( P < 0.05). The time for tracheal intubation in group A was (61.8±5.0) s, and that in the group B was (83.0±4.9) s, showing that the time of group B was longer, with significant differences ( P < 0.05). The complications in group A was 5%, and that in group B was 14%, showing that the group B had more cases of implications, with significant differences ( P < 0.05). In the second month, there was no significant difference in the one-time success rate, the time for tracheal intubation, and complications between the two groups ( P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in one-time success rate and complications between groups. Both groups showed that the time for general laryngoscope intubation was longer, with significant differences ( P < 0.05). All of the students believed that applying optical laryngoscope teaching was beneficial and could enhance the interest of learning, and the combination of the two methods was better. Conclusion:Using the optical laryngoscope first and then the general laryngoscope teaching is more beneficial for students to master the two methods of tracheal intubation, improve the success rate, reduce complications, and cultivates their self-confidence.
