Objective To discuss the clinical application of preoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in treating squamous cell carcinoma of tongue. Methods A total of 26 patients with pathologically proved squamous cell carcinoma of tongue were enrolled in this study. Using Seldinger technique, lingual artery angiography and TACE were carried out in all patients. Radical resection of tongue cancer was performed in 2-3 weeks after TACE. Results Super-selective catheterization and TACE was successfully accomplished in all patients. After TACE the tumor size was significantly decreased in all patients. During the operation, clear lesion's border was observed, and the amount of blood loss was less than usual. Conclusion For the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of tongue, preoperative superselective TACE is safe and effective;it can increase the opportunity of surgical resection, reduce the surgical damage, and improve the quality of life as well as the survival rate.

Seven patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with ART were recruited . All patients were treated with SIB-IMRT regimen( named IMRT) . All patients had a second computed tomography scan after 10 fractions and a new plan based on this was initiated from fraction 11 ( ART1 ) . And a third CT scan after 21 fractions and a new plan based on this was initiated from fraction 22(ART2). When the treatment was finished,a fourth CT scan was made. Results revealed that the volumes of primary tumors and parotid glands regressed significantly after the teat-ment. The position of the parotid glands shifted medially an average of 4.5(1.6~9.2)mm during the plans. ART1 reduced mean dose to left parotid by 0. 42 Gy(1. 68%)(P=0.019) and right parotid by 0. 79 Gy (3.04%) (P=0. 013) over the IMRT alone. ART2 further reduced the mean left parotid dose by 0. 86 Gy or 3.5% ( P =0.001 ) and right parotid by 1 . 04 Gy or 4 . 13% ( P=0.035 ) .

Objective To discuss the nursing countermeasures of common problems in patients with spinal fracture. Methods All patients received evidence- based nursing in on:ler to tackle problems such as pain, paralysis, pulmonary infection, pressure ulcer, urinary tract infection and deep vein thrombosis. Results No one complicated with pulmonary infection, pressure ulcer and deep vein thrombosis, 2 with lower limb swelling and 3 with urinary tract infection. Conclusions Evidence- based nursing is the base of clinic nursing. It can not only improve the quality of nursing and benefit patients,but also can expand the nurses' knowledge.

Objective To compare the effect oropivacaine combined with fentanyl or sufentanil in labor anal-gesia.Methods 116 cases of maternal birth in obstetrics and gynecology were selected.According to the random number table method,116 cases of parturients were randomly divided into observation group (58 cases,received ropiv-acaine and sufentanil analgesia)and control group (received ropivacaine and fentanyl).In two groups of maternal anesthesia before induction (T0 ),used the drug after 30min(T1 ),60min(T2 ),180min(T3 )detection of the mean arterial pressure (MAP)and heart rate (HR),and digital evaluation table Rating Scale (NRS).The complications of maternal and infant in the two groups were recorded,the change of the mode of delivery and the Apgar score of neo-nates in the two groups were analyzed.Results There were no significant differences in the levels of MAP and HR between the two groups in T0-T3 (tMAP =0.123,1.078,0.212,0.047;P =0.903,0.283,0.832,0.963;tHR =0.033, 0.289,0.288,0.036;P =0.974,0.773,0.774,0.972).The NRS scores in T1 -T3 of the two groups were significantly lower than those in the T0;the T1 -T3 scores of the observation group were (2.21 ±0.36 )points,(1.78 ± 0.24)points,(1.83 ±0.25)points,which were significantly lower than (3.61 ±0.75)points,(3.22 ±0.12)points, (2.84 ±0.26)points of the control group(t =12.816,40.871,21.325,P =0.000,0.000,0.000).In the observation group,there was 0 case (0.00%)had cardiac arrhythmia,the control group had 4 cases (6.90%),and the differ-ence was statistically significant(χ2 =4.143,P =0.042).Two groups of labor analgesia,the way of delivery and birth of the newborn after birth,1min,5min of Apgar score were compared,the differences were not statistically significant (χ2 =0.703,t =0.631,1.149,P =0.402,0.530,0.253).Conclusion Ropivacaine combined with sufentanil or fentanyl in analgesia have no effect in childbirth and maternal vital signs and neonatal,and have good analgesic effect, but ropivacaine combined with sufentanil has stronger analgesic effect,higher safety.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the usefulness of an ultrasonography-based method to examine quadriceps femoris contracting. MethodsThe thickness of bilateral rectus femoris (RF) and vastus intermedius (VI) and the cross-sectional area (CSA) of RF was measured in 10 healthy subjects （n=20） in a relaxed position and 3 isometric contraction states using ultrasonography by two examiners. The date was compared with paired t test. Half of these subjects （n=10） were also measured with MRI at rest. The date was also compared with paired t test. ResultsThere was no significant difference between MRI and static compound ultrasonography, nor between two examiners. There was a significant difference (P<0.05) in thickness of RF and VI between relaxed and isometric contraction conditions. There was no significant difference among isometric contraction conditions. There was no significant difference among measurements of RF-CSA. Conclusionultrasonography shows good validity and reliability in measuring quadriceps shape.

Objective To analyse the effect of berberine on D-dimer, fibrinogen (FIB) and interleukin-6(IL-6) in peripheral blood of ovarian cancer patients.Methods 130 cases selected from the hospital were diagnosed as unilateral ovarian cancer, treated by surgery and chemotherapy.The patients were divided into control group (25 cases) and experimental group (105 cases), and the experimental group were randomly divided into A, B, C three groups, 35 cases in each group.The experimental group received berberine hydrochloride tablets, orally, three times a day, on the basis of conventional chemotherapy.The experimental groups were divided into three subgroups according to the dosage: A group: 0.3 g, B group: 0.2 g, C group:0.1 g, 35 cases in each group, continuously treated for 2 weeks.The levels of D-dimer, FIB and IL-6 and quality of life score were detected before and after treatment.Results After treatment, D-dimer level in each subgroup of experimental group was lower than that in control group, respectively, and A group
