With the improvement of endoscopic technology,an increasing number of early esophageal cancer is diagnosed by gastroscopy.Regardless of the size or submucous fibrosis of esophageal cancer,endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) allows en bloc resection and histologically complete resection of the tumor.ESD has been recognized as an optimal treatment modality for early esophageal carcinoma.Currently,short-term curative effects of early esophageal cancer after ESD have been proved satisfactory,but the long-term outcomes remain unclear.This paper reviews the research advances about the long-term outcomes of ESD,and focuses on the postoperative stenosis,the recurrence,metastasis and survival rates of patients,to provide treatment reference for clinicians.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture plus puncturing the thirteen ghost points in treating diabetic gastroparesis.Method Sixty patients with diabetic gastroparesis were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by electroacupuncture plus puncturing the thirteen ghost points, while the control group was by electroacupuncture alone. The clinical efficacies were then compared.Result The total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group versus 83.3% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture plus puncturing the thirteen ghost points is an effective approach in treating diabetic gastroparesis.

Objective To evaluate the air bronchograpm in the differential diagnosis of peripheral solitary pulmonary nodule(3 cm or less) by computed tomography (CT). Methods The thin section CT images of air bronchogram in 190 eases with peripheral solitary pulmonary nodule confirmed by surgical resection and/or bronehoscopy and/or percutaneous needle biopsy and histopathology were analysed. Results The air bronchogram was seen in 52/100(52%) cases with peripheral lung cancers and in 29/50 cases (58%) with inflammatory pseudotumors on CT scans. Of lung cancers, there were adenocareinoma in 23/31 eases, squamous cell carcinoma in 14/41 cases, adenosquamous carcinom in 4/5 cases,small cell carcinoma in 7/14 cases and poorly differentiate carcinoma in 5/9 cases. The air bronchograms were not seen in 32 tuberculomas,5 hamartomas and 3 pulmonary cysts. Conclusion Air bronchogram can be seen in several pnlmonary nodules,it does not appear to be the characteristic of small peripheral carcinoma especially adenocarcinoma, and it alsc can not be helpful in distingushing malignant and benign pulmonary nodules.

Objective To investigate the posttraumatic growth(PTG)in female patients with breast cancer after operation and the possible influencing factors related to the PTG of these patients. Methods 300 female patients with breast cancer from Oct 2014 to Jan 2015 in 7 third-level grade A hospitals were selected by random number table. The posttraumatic growth inventory (PTGI)was used to study PTG status in these patients. Clinical data including age, degree of education, marital status, underlying disease, clinical stage, surgical method, adjuvant therapy and postoperative complications were univariate analyzed, then the positive factors were logistic regression analyzed. Results The mean PTG score was 59.83±12.90, univariate analysis showed that degree of education (F=15.80, P=0.000), underlying disease (t=3.90,P=0.000), clinical stage (F=10.17, P=0.000), surgical method (t=5.12, P=0.000) and postoperative complications(t=4.85,P=0.000) were influencing factors, while multivariate analysis by logistic regression showed that clinical stag(OR=6.635, P=0.000), surgical method (OR=2.858, P=0.000) and postoperative complications (OR=2.731, P=0.035) were independent influencing factors for female patients with breast cancer after operation. Conclusions The posttraumatic growth status in breast cancer patients undergoing operation declined dramatically. The level of metal change dimension are main clinical features of breast cancer patients. There are close associations between PTG and clinical stag, surgical method and postoperative complications.

We retrospectively analyzed 23 cases of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (HNL) admitted to our hospital as fever of unknown origin (FUO).Fever,lymphadenopathy and skin rash were the most common clinical manifestation.The major laboratory features included cytopenia,abnormal liver enzyme and elevated inflammatory markers.Three of the 23 cases were finally diagnosed as infectious disease,5 as autoimmune disease,while the left 15 remained as HNL during the follow-up.Four of the 15 HNL patients resolved spontaneously,while the other 11 relieved by steroid use.Two patients relapsed during the follow-up.HNL was one of the rare causes of FUO.Since it would be accompanied with infectious,autoimmune or malignant diseases,long follow-up is necessary.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of pidotimod combined with montelukast sodium in the treat-ment of children with bronchial asthma. METHODS:120 children with bronchial asthma were randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 60 cases in each group. Both group were given routine treatment as aerosol inhalation of glucocorticoid and anti-infective treatment. Control group was additionally given Montelukast sodium chewable tablet 5 mg orally,qd,at bed-time;observation group was additionally given Pidotimod capsule 0.4 g,qd,on the basis of control group. Both group received treatment for consecutive 3 months. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed as well as IL-4,IFN-γ,IgE,T lymphocyte sub-set and lung function indexes of 2 groups before and after treatment. The occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RE-SULTS:The effective rate of observation group was 88.3%,which was significantly higher than that of control group (61.7%). There was no statistical significance in IL-4,IFN-γ,IgE,T lymphocyte subset and lung function indexes between 2 groups before treatment(P>0.05). After treatment,IL-4,IFN-γ,IgE,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ and lung function of 2 groups were improved signifi-cantly,and the observation group was significantly better than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Pidotimod combined with monte-lukast sodium is effective for children with bronchial asthma,and can significantly relieve airway inflammation,enhance immunity and improve lung function with good safety.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of serum tumor supplied group of factor (TSGF) in diagnosing colorectal carcinoma. Methods The TSGF concentration in the patients with colorectal carcinoma, with colorectal polyp and healthy subjects were retrospectively reviewed. Results The TSGF concentration in the colorectal carcinoma patients was significantly higher than that in the colorectal polyp patients (P

Cadherins that mediate the adhesion of the same type of cells by specific binding to calciumdependent adhesions of the same type with cadherins mainly consist of three subtypes including E-cadberin,P-cadherin and N-cadherin.In recent years,more and more studies have indicated that cadherins are closely related to triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)and play an important role in prognosis and treatment of TNBC.

Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma represents a distinct entity with unique clinicopathologic features and a molecular gene-expression signature. There is no standard regimens. Retrospective analysis suggests that dose-dense and dose-intensive regimens are more effective than CHOP. The addition of rituximab may mitigate such difference. The role of mediastinal radiotherapy upon completion of chemotherapy remains unclear. The role of PET scanning requires prospective examination, which may allow the de-escalation of treatment if it can be shown to yield reliable prognostic information.

Objective To discuss whether ultrasonic attenuation dual calibration quantitative analysis may acquire highly repeatable checkout results.
