OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical effect of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) on the repair of different tissue defects in pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer. METHOD: Twenty-three cases of pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer were analyzed retrospectively, including 16 patients with pharyngeal cancer, and 7 patients with laryngeal cancer. After surgery, the patients appeared two types of tissue defects respectively: hypopharynx tissue defect and neck skin tissue defect. These defects were repaired with ADM, and the clinical effects were observed. RESULT: Sixteen cases of hypopharynx tissue defect and 7 cases of neck skin tissue defect were repaired with ADM. One case in hypopharynx tissue defect group and 2 cases in neck skin tissue defect group undergone pharyngeal fistula postoperatively. CONCLUSION The repair of tissue defects in pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer with ADM had some advantages, such as good histocompatibility, low immune rejection, wide material sources and simple method. There were some differences in clinical effects between hypopharynx cavity defect and neck skin tissue defects, so the emphasis of the need to pay attention to is different in the clinical.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical results between stapled and traditional suture closure total laryngectomy. METHOD: Fifty-three cases of laryngeal cancer with total laryngectomy were divided into 2 groups: 32 cases with traditional suture closure total laryngectomy (group A) and 21 cases with stapled total laryngectomy group (group B). Compare two groups in pharyngeal fistula, postoperative bleeding, dysphagia, and nasal regurgitation. RESULT: There was no difference of postoperative pharyngeal fistula between group A and B (P>0. 05). The incidence of dysphagia, nasal regurgitation, and postoperative bleeding in group B were 23. 8%, 14. 3% and 14. 3% respectively, which were obviously higher than that in group A (P<0. 05). CONCLUSION Stapled total laryngectomy has the advantages of reducing the operative time and simplifying the operation with some disadvantages such as higher standards of operation indications, higher incidence of dysphagia, higher nasal regurgitation, higher postoperative bleeding, and poor medical economic profit. Traditional suture closure total laryngectomy is recommended in clinical practice.

Objective To explore the effect of hyperbaric oxygen combined with acupuncture and moxibustion on traumatic peripheral facial nerve injury, and the results of electromyography. Methods From January, 2007 to January, 2013, a total of 160 patients with traumat-ic peripheral facial nerve injury were divided into treatment group (n=80) and control group (n=80). Both groups received routine drug treat-ment. Hyperbaric oxygen combined with acupuncture and moxibustion was applied to treatment group in addition. The clinical efficacy and the results of electromyography were analyzed before and 36 days after treatment. Results After treatment, the cure rate and total efficiency was significantly higher (χ2>7.657, P<0.001), the motor latency of facial nerve was shorter (t>2.214, P<0.05), the M wave amplitude of fa-cial nerve was significantly higher (t>3.116, P<0.01), the number of recruitment potential was more (χ2=9.76, P<0.05), and the motor unit potential voltage was significantly higher (t>5.45, P<0.001) in the treatment group than in the control group. Conclusion Hyperbaric oxy-gen combined with acupuncture and moxibustion is more effective on traumatic peripheral facial nerve injury than routine.

BACKGROUND:Hydroxyapatite-coated titanium substrates improve the biocompatibility and have the property of intimating ossteointegration with host bonebed. However, hydroxyapatite lacks the necessary mechanical strength and degrades easily in the extracelular fluids, which may affect the stability of the titanium implant.
OBJECTIVE:To study the synthesis and characterization of lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatite coatings.
METHODS: Lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatite coatings were prepared by hydroxyapatite and 10%, 20% and 30% lanthanum, respectively, by means of sol-gel, which were then deposited on titanium substrates with dip-withdrawal technique. Surface morphology and crystaline microstructure of the coatings were observed by scanning electron microscope. The presence of functional groups for the obtained samples was performed by Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The Ca2+ concentration released from the coatings was measured by atomic absorption spectrometry for analysis of degradation property.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With the increase of lanthanum content, the diffraction peak and crystalinity of lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatite coatings were increased, but the whole structure of lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatites had little changes. The crystal structure maintained stable with charge balance. The lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatite coatings showed uniform and high-dense structure and were free of cracks, indicating the coatings had good bonding strength. Under the simulated biological environment, based on the determination of Ca2+ release from the coatings, we can conclude the lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatite coatings have a stronger acidoresistance.

Objective To investigate application of femoston combined with Kuntai capsule in poor ovarian responders (PORs) receiving vitro fertilization. Methods 120 women with poor ovarian response after receiving IVF were s randomly elected. Pre-treatment with femoston plus Kuntai capsule was used for three menstrual cycles before the next cycle of assisted reproductive treatment. FSH, LH, E2, AMH, number of antral follicles, PSV, days of Gn, ampoules of Gn, cycle cancellation rate, E2 value of the day of HCG, follicle of less than 16mm, number of oocytes, fertilization rate, and number of good quality embryos were compared before and after treatment used. Results After pre-treatment, levels of FSH and LH were decreased, AMH, PSV were increased, E2 value of the day of HCG, number of antral follicles, follicle of less than 16 mm, oocytes, fertilization rate, and good quality embryos were increased; cycle cancellation rate was decreased, with significant differences (P< 0.05). Conclusions Femoston combined with kuntai capsule can effectively increase the functional reserve of the ovarian in poor ovarian responders, and can improve the outcome of IVF.

Objective To investigate DNA excision repair cross-complementing gene-1 (ERCC1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression levels in gastric cancer (GC) and evaluate the correlation between two proteins. Methods Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression of ERCC1 and COX-2 in 239 GC cases, and analyzed the association between ERCC1 and COX-2 expression levels and clinicopathologic parameters. Results ERCC1 and COX-2 expression levels were significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis (P <0.05), while not associated with tumor size, location, depth of invasion and tumor differentiation (P>0.05). The positive expression rate of COX-2 in GC patients with HP infection was 86.5%, higher than those without HP infection. No correlation was found between two proteins. Conclusion Both ERCC1 and COX-2 were related with tumor progression, which may serve as valuable markers for determining biological behavior in GC. However , they did not show positive interaction.

Objective To analyze epidemic status and influencing factors for the poor vision of the students in Henan in 2014 and to provide the scientific basis of more targeted myopia prevention strategies.Methods The data of 34 886 students aged 9 to 18 who were involved in the students'physical fitness survey in Henan province in 2014 was used to analyze epidemic status and influencing factors for the poor vision.Results The prevalence rate of myopia among Henan students was 62.5％.In addition,high school was higher than middle school which was higher than primary school.Girl was higher than boy,and urban was higher than rural.Through the unconditional logistic regression,having breakfast three to five times a week,eating eggs three to five times a week,drinking milk unusually,doing exercise over two hours a day,and watching TV over two hours a day were the protective factors for poor vision,of which the OR were 0.850,0.883,0.864,0.830,0.738 respectively.Correspondingly,the 95％ CI were 0.776-0.931,0.813-0.960,0.812-0.920,0.722-0.955,0.681-0.799.While sleeping less than seven hours,PE class one time a week or less,refusing to run longdistance,doing homework over two hours,and playing the e-productions over two hours were the risk factors of which OR were 1.100,1.091,1.100,1.375,1.155 respectively.Correspondingly,the 95％ CI were 1.009-1.199,1.017-1.172,1.024-1.183,1.287-1.469,1.072-1.244.Conclusions The rate of the myopia among the students in Henan is still severe.There are multifarious factors related to poor vision.Therefore,much more targeted measures should be taken to prevent poor vision from developing.
