Objective To explore prognostic factors of the uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC).Methods Twenty eight patients with UPSC in Cancer Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from January 2002 to August 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Prognostic factors were analyzed by univariate analysis.Results Twenty eight cases of UPSC with 6.3％ occurrence in the endometrial carcinoma admitted in the same period,including 14 cases of staging Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ,and 14 cases of staging Ⅲ.The univariate analysis showed that lymph-node metastasis and operative-pathological staging were significantly associated with the prognosis (P ＜ 0.05),but were not associated with the menopausal,postoperative treatment,operation style,deep myometrial invasion,cervical involvement,and annex invasion (P ＞ 0.05).Two cases of Ia-staging without myometrial infiltration and without added postoperative treatment were still alive.Conclusions Operative-pathological staging and retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy were independently prognostic factors of UPSC.The Ia-staging without myometrial infiltration might be without added postoperative treatment.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of relaxing needling plus joint needling from the Internal Medicine in treating post-stroke spastic hemiplegia.MethodTotally 121 eligible subjects were randomized intoan ordinary acupuncture group (61 cases) and a relaxing-joint needling group (60 cases). The two groups were treated for 2 weeks, 5 sessions each week. The spasm of the lower limb was evaluated by using Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale (FMA), modified AshworthScale (MAS), Tardieu Scale, and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) before and after treatment. Besides, 4 patients from each group were randomly selected for the three-dimensional gait analysis, and the dorsi-extension, range of motion (ROM) of ankle, strephenopodia, and heel-raising height were observed.Result and ConclusionRelaxing-joint needling and ordinary acupuncture both can produce significant efficacies in treating post-stroke spastic hemiplegia. The relaxing-joint needling produced more significant efficacies in improving the body balance, ROM, muscular tension, and lower limb spasticity compared to ordinary acupuncture. It’s plausible that relaxing-joint needling improves the strephenopodia and hemiplagia gait through renovating body balance, ROM, muscular tension, and lower limb spasticity. Since the three-dimensional gait analysis can analyze the dorsi-extension, strephenopodia, and heel-raising height, thus it can be used to evaluate the change of the spastic gait of post-stroke hemiplegia in amore objective, elaborate, and correct way.

Objective To investigate the effects of meliorated renal failure decoction (MRFD) on renal function and inflammatory cytokines in patients with CKD 3-4 stages. Methods Sixty-two patients with CKD 3-4 stages were divided into treatment group and control group through random number table method. Both groups were given conventional treatment of western medicine, and the treatment group was given MRFD additionally. After 6 months of treatment, the changes of TCM symptom scores, Hb, Scr, BUN, 24 h UP, IL-6, IL-8, TNF and eGFR were observed. Meanwhile, the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results The total clinical effective rate in treatment group was 65.63%(21/32), and 30.00%(9/30) in the control group (P<0.01);the effective rate of TCM syndromes in treatment group was 96.88%(31/32), and 53.33%(16/30) in the control group (P<0.01). The symptoms were improved better in the treatment group than the control group except for the symptoms of dry mouth and throat, and diarrhea. The level of eGFR in treatment group increased obviously (P<0.05), while the levels of Scr, 24 h UP and BUN decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), with statistical significance between the two groups ( P<0.01). The level of eGFR increased, and the levels of Scr decreased in the control group (P<0.01). The levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF in both groups were reduced, while the level of Hb increased in the two groups, without statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusion MRFD can improve TCM syndrome and renal function, delay the progress of patients with CKD at 3-4 stage by means of reducing the inflammatory cytokines and inhibiting micro-inflammatory state.

Objective To investigate the impact of surgical resection on patients with Ⅱ-Ⅲ A stage small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). Method Data of 61 in-patients who diagnosed as Ⅱ-ⅢA stage SCLC from Jan 1st 2009 to Feb 1st 2014 were analyzed. 23 patients underwent surgical resections were enrolled as the treatment group, while 38 patients without surgical resection were enrolled as the control group. Disease progression was confirmed by monthly examination. The grouping is balanced by propensity score match. The progression-free survival (PFS) time and overall survival(OS) were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier survival method and Cox regression is applied to analyze the covariates. Fisher's exact test was applied to compare one-year survival rate and two-year survival rate. Results The PFS and OS of the treatment group is longer than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Both one-year and two-year survival rates of the treatment group outnumber those of the control group (P < 0.05). Cox regression indicates that surgical resection is an independent prognostic factor (P < 0.05). Conclusion Surgical resection on tolerable patients with stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ A small-cell lung carcinoma is effective on improving the progression-free survival time,one-year and two-year survival rates,and also shows a propensity of a higher overall survival time.

Objective To investigate the consistency in 18F-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) examination and histopathological analyses in the diagnoses of resectable lung tumors. Methods Retrospective reviews over the clinical data of lung tumor patients by preoperative PET-CT diagnosis and postoperative histopathological diagnosis were conducted to investigate the effects of the two diagnostic methods in terms of lung tumor properties , mediastinal lymph node metastasis , and pulmonary hilar lymph node metastasis. Results The diagnoses by preoperative PET-CT was consistent in differentiation of non-malignancy and malignancy of pathologic lung tumors by 87.3%, at a medium level (κ = 0.401, P < 0.001). McNemar test showed P = 0.508, indicating the two diagnostic methods were insignificantly different in the diagnosis of pulmonary tumors. The preoperative PET-CT was consistent in the diagnosis of the metastasis of pathologic mediastinal lymph node by 85.9%, at a medium level (κ = 0.697, P < 0.001). McNemar test showed P =0.754, indicating no significant difference between the diagnostic methods. The preoperative PET-CT was consistent with postoperative pathological examinations in the differentiations of the metastasis of pulmonary and hilar lymph node by 77.4%, at a medium level (κ=0.523, P < 0.001). McNemar test showed P = 0.454, indicating the two diagnostic methods were no significantly different. Conclusion Preoperative PET-CT and histopathologic examinations may be consistent in lung tumor diagnosis , which provides a basis for a certain significance in the surgical options.

ObjectiveTo investigate the features of normal and psoriasis skin on ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and explore the method of thickness measurement.MethodsUsing 50 MHz ultrasound probe of biological microscope, ultrasonographic observation and ultrasonic thickness measurement were conducted in 90 normal adults and 40 psoriasis patients. Innormal patients, ultrasound evaluations were performed at 10 different parts of the body skin.ResultsOn sonogram, the normal skin showed a “sandwich” structure with two parallel hyperechoic bands and the middle isoechoic dots and short liens. The sonograms of the psoriasis skin showed obviously thickened epidermis and dermis, disordered internal structure and clear boundary from adjacent normal skin. The range of the epidermis’ thickness measurement was between the medial forearm (0.12±0.03) mm and the palm (0.29±0.15) mm. The range of dermal thickness measurement was between the back hand (1.18±0.32) mm and parasternal (1.55±0.21) mm. Psoriasis skin was thicker than the uninvolved skin (P<0.001). And the dermis’ thickness of uninvolved skin in psoriasis patients was thicker than that of the normal adults (P<0.001).ConclusionNormal adult’s epidermis, dermis and skin appendages can be shown clearly using 50 MHz ultrasound biomicroscopy. And ultrasound biomicroscopy canaccurately measure the thickness of dermis and epidermis, which provides the basis for the diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis.
