Objective To investigate the long-term effects and risk factors of arterial polyvinyl alcohol resin (PVA) embolization for ⅢB and IV non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patient.Methods 126 patients with 1 B or V NSCLC were performed the perfusion with 5-FU,THP,DDP by PVA grain embolization under fluoroscopic control.All patients were followed up.Kaplan-Meier was used to calculate the survival rate and the median survival time,and Cox regression model was adopted to analyze related risk factors which affected curative effect.Results The median survival time was( 11.78 ± 3.24) months and 1 -,2-year survival rate was 39.1 ％,25.59％ in 126 patients with NSCLC.Cox model analysis showed that of the tumor staging,tumor size,location and combination chemotherapy were all independent risk factors of prognosis (all P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion Arterial embolization of PVA for treatment of NSCLC is effective.Tumor size,stage,location and combination chemotherapy are associated with prognosis of NSCLC.

Liver tissues around hydatid from 8 patients with cystic echinococcosis were observed by transmission electron microscopy,normal hepatic tissues of 6 cases were used as control.The results demonstrated predominant atrophy and necrosis of hepatocytes.These changes seem to be the major hepatic lesion in cystic echinococcosis.

Medical science have two sides in its nature. It is not only a subject of science, but also a social science. Medical science need social science to nourish it. At present, unsuitable language is the main cause which lead to medical tangles. The medical workers' attitude towards patients is the key factor during the solving course. Most of the medical tangles do not lead to accusing in the beginning. Both patients and the hospital wish to solve the tangle by intercession or compromise instead of law ways. Appropriate language could avoid non-malpractice tangles. It also play an important role in solving the medical tangles.

This study was aimed to observe the effect of Tao-He Cheng-Qi Decoction (THCQD) on tissue injury of different organs among rats with sepsis. A total of 100 Kunming male SD rats of clean grade were randomly divided into five groups, which were the normal control group, model 6 h control group, model 12 h control group, THCQD 6 h group and THCQD 12 h group. The normal control group received no treatment. The classic CLP method was ap-plied in the establishment of sepsis rat model in other groups. Intragastric administration of saline 1 ml/100 g (weight) was given to each rat in the model group every day. Intragastric administration of THCQD 1 ml/100 g (weight) was given to each rat in the THCQD group every day. The model was established after 7 days. Tissue speci-mens of lung, heart, kidney, liver, and small intestine were collected at 6 h and 12 h after modeling, respectively. Pathomorphological changes of each group were observed by light microscopy and electron microscope. The results showed that compared with the model group at the same time point, pathomorphological changes of tissues of the lung, heart, kidney in THCQD group were not significant. However, pathomorphology of tissues of the liver and small intestine changed significantly in the THCQD 12h group. And there were statistical differences (P < 0.05) between two groups in the score of pathomorphology. It was concluded that THCQD had protective effect on tissues of the liv-er and small intestine among rats with sepsis. However, the mechanism is not clear and requires further research.

OBJECTIVE: To build up a simple and effective comprehensive system for predicting difficult laryngeal exposure under suspension laryngoscopy. METHOD: One hundred and twenty cases of laryngeal tubor were selected. Using Logistic regression method to analyse relative factors, including weight, height, BMI, neck girth, neck upward degree, upper-lower incisor teeth distance, thyroid-mentum distance, thyroid-sternum distance, Mallampati test, Yamamoto test and Upper lip bite test. Build data-base to construct a comprehensive system for predicting difficult laryngeal exposure under suspension laryngoscopy. RESULT: The relative factors of difficult laryngeal exposure were BMI, neck girth, upper-lower incisor teeth distance, neck upward degree, thyroid-mentum distance, Mallampati test and Yamamoto test (P < 0.05). To build up a comprehensive system for predicting difficult laryngeal exposure under suspension laryngoscopy. The predicting standards included the seven relative factors, each factor has 1 score, 2 score, 3 score. Higher score means more risk. Eight score was designed as minimum, under the premise,the sensibility, misdiagnosis rate, missed misdiagnosis rate, specificity of the experiment were 95.5%, 5.3%, 4.5%, 94.7%. CONCLUSION The comprehesive system is an effective method for predicting difficult intubation. It can help to identify difficult cases according to the results of this predicting system.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the long-term therapeutic efficacy of muscle-region alignment needling plus dermalneedle therapy in treating post-stroke upper-limb spasticity.MethodTotally 488 patients with post-stroke upper-limb spasticity were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 244 in each group. Besides theessentialrehabilitation treatment, the treatment group was intervened by muscle-region alignment needling plus dermal needle therapy, while the control group was given regular Western medication.Thetwo groups were intervened for 3 weeks and were followed up for 6 months. The neurologic function, Functional Comprehensive Assessment (FCA), and Stroke Speciality-Quality of Life (SS-QOL) were observed for the follow-up study.ResultThe total effective rate was 93.4% in the treatment group versus 61.5% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); the neurologic function, FCA score, and SS-QOL score in the treatment group were significantly superior to that in the control group at the end of the follow-up study (P<0.05).ConclusionMuscle-region alignment needling plus dermal needle therapycan produce a content long-term therapeutic efficacy in treating post-stroke upper-limb spasticity.

This study retrospectively reviewed 9 cases of complicated hepatic cystic hydatidosis with intrabiliary rupture who were surgically treated with pericystectomy in combination with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy in our hospital from 2004 to 2010. The clinical features, results of laboratory tests, B-mode ultrasonography and CT, post-operative recovery, days of hospital stay after the operation and post-operative complications were statistically analyzed and the patients were followed up. The subjects in our series included 7 males and 2 females, whose average age was 50.78±7.58 years. Before operation, 9 patients suffered from pain of the right upper quadrant and jaundice, which, in 4 cases (44.45%), were accompanied with fever and chills. Preoperative B-mode ultrosonography and CT showed that all the 9 patients had single hydatid cyst, with their diameter being 9.33±1.58 cm on average. The lesions involved segments V, VI in 6 cases, and segment IV in 3 cases. By WHO classification, 7 cases were classified as CE3 and 2 cases as CE4. They all had choledochectasia. The subjects underwent the surgery uneventfully. Intraoperatively, 2-4 biliary fistula orifices were found, with the average of the orifice being (0.79±0.20) cm. After the operation, one patient developed incision infection, one had pulmonary infection and one suffered from reflux cholangitis. No anastomotic leaks or peri-operative deaths took place and follow-up revealed no recurrence and implantative metastasis. We are led to conclude that pericystectomy in combination with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy can achieve satisfactory results for the treatment of complicated hepatic cystic hydatidosis with intrabiliary rupture.

Objective To compare the inhibiting effect on human lung adenocarcinoma who were treated with gem?citabine combined with cisplatin chemotherapy through either arterial or intravenous route to explore the optimum adminis?tration route. Methods Human lung adenocarcinoma derived A549 cells were transplanted into 40 BALB/c-nu mice to es?tablish lung cancer model. The models were divided into 4 groups:animals in arterial or intravenous chemotherapy groups were treated with gemcitabine 150 mg/kg combined with cisplatin 10 mg/kg through either arterial route or intravenous route. Animals in negative control group were given normal saline through caudal vein while animals in sham operation group were treated with normal saline via arterial route. Then dynamical change of tumor volume and tumor inhibiting rate were assessed , and Bcl-2 and Caspase 3 expressions were investigated using western blot. Finally inhibiting effect were compared between these two different administration routes. Results Transplanted tumors in arterial and intravenous che?motherapy groups (especially in arterial group) were suppressed, in terms of mass of tumor(g:1.91±0.19, 2.61±0.21 vs 4.58± 0.46), compared to the control group (P<0.05). Furthermore, tumor inhibiting rates in arterial chemotherapy group and ve?nous chemotherapy group are 57.6%and 42.4%respectively (P<0.05). Expression of Bcl-2 was down regulated while ex?pression of Caspase-3 was up regulated upon both arterial and intravenous chemotherapy. And arterial route showed much more obvious tumor apoptosis effect than venous route. Conclusion Arterial route of gemcitabine combined with cisplatin for lung adenocarcinoma treatment is more effective to restrain the tumor growth in clinical application.
