China Oncology 2001;11(2):148-150
Purpose:To determine the treatments and prognostic predictors of malignant melanoma of the head and neck. Methods:Surgical treatment and outcome was analyzed for 28 patients with malignant melanoma of the head and neck at department of the head and neck of our hospital (1984-1994). Results:23 patients underwent local excised as the first treatment, and local recurrence was demonstrated in 8 (34.8%). Margin of resection of primary melanoma was divided into narrow excision (≤2 cm) and wide excision (>2 cm), and 5-year survival was 58% and 40%(P<0.01). According to surgical methods, 5-year survival of WE, WE/END and WE/TLND were 80%, 80% and 39%. Conclusions:An excision with 2 cm margin is safe procedure for primary tumor of malignant melanoma of the head and neck. Neck dissection may not be practiced until neck lymph node is positive. Neck dissections differ from the positions of the primary tumors, and the flaps must be raised preferably superficial to the platysma.

Purpose To explore the expression of two epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) regulators,Sry-related high mobility group box 4 (SOX4) and enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2),in breast cancer tissues and their clinicopathologic significances.Methods The expression of SOX4 and EZH2 was detected by immunohistochemistry of EnVision twostep in paraffin-embedded tissue sections from 241 cases of breast cancer and 126 cases of paracancerous breast tissues.The relationship between their expression and clinicopathologic characteristics was statistically analyzed,and their correlation was also analyzed.Results In breast cancer tissues and paracancerous breast tissues,the high expression rates of SOX4 were 82.2% and 57.1% respectively,while the high expression rates of EZH2 were 80.1% and 47.6% respectively.Their expression in breast cancer tissues was higher than that in paracancerous breast tissues (P < 0.05).High SOX4 expression was correlated with lymph node metastasis,high TNM stage,and overexpression of HER-2 (P < 0.05),while high EZH2 expression was correlated with high histological grade,lymph node metastasis,ER negativity,EGFR positivity and high poliferation index of Ki67 (P < 0.05).There was a positive correlation between SOX4 and EZH2 expression in breast cancer tissues (rs =0.256,P <0.001).Conclusion EMT regulators SOX4 and EZH2 might be responsible for the metastasis of breast cancer,which are upregulated in breast cancer tissues.They may act as potential biomarkers to predict the metastasis of breast cancer.

The status of acupuncture-moxibustion is more and more recognized by mainstream medicine in the world in recent years, and literature regarding acupuncture-moxibustion with high impact factor (IF) published in the worldwide mainstream medicine journals is also gradually growing by years. To understand the situation of related literature, literature regarding acupuncture-moxibustion with IF of more than 10 in Science Citation Index (SCI) during the recent 5 years was retrieved. The number, the types, the diseases involved, the publishing states of the acquired articles and the source, the citation, the IF of the publishing journals were analyzed and summarized. Additionally, some of the research foci, the new research tendencies and the deficiencies of research were discussed. The thoughts and suggestions are expected to be provided for further research of acupuncture.

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of a new drug for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), ticagrelor in treating the patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and to compare the effect between ticagrelor and clopidogrel in order to obtain the prospective information of ticagrelor in clinical practice.
Methods: A total of 307 STEMI patients were divided into 2 groups, Treatment group, the patients received ticagrelor with aspirin, n=157 and Control group, the patients received clopidogrel with aspirin, n=150. With a period of treatment, the major adverse cardiac events (MACE), rate of thrombosis re-formation and routine blood test result were compared between 2 groups.
Results: Treatment group presented the better LVDD, LVEF, platelet level and ST-segment recovery than those in Control group, P<0.05 or P<0.01. Treatment group showed slightly higher rate of side effect such as dififcult breathing and bleeding, while those reaction did not affect the treatment or special management for the patients.
Conclusion: The clinical effect of ticagrelor is similar to clopidogre for improving the platelet level and cardiac function in STEMI patients, while the clinical advantage reported in abroad should be further studied.

Objective To investigate the expression of p53,VEGF,E-cad,CK20 and its clinical meanings in bladder transitional cell carcinoma. Methods The specimen microarrays and immunohistochemistry were applied to detect selected cancer-related protein expression in 45 cases of bladder TCC and 8 cases of normal control. Results Abnormal expression of p53,E-cad and CK20 were detected 100.0%,55.6%,55.6% respectively in bladder TCC group,which were expressed normally in control group with significant differences.However,there was no VEGF expression differences between those 2 groups (87.5% v.86.7%).Abnormal expression intensity of p53 and expression rate of E-cad were closely related to the pathological features.CK20 expression was co-related positively with disease staging rather than grading.VEGF played less role in co-relating with pathological features. Conclusions p53,E-cad and CK20 play an important roles in the development of bladder TCC,and VEGF plays less.Microarrays is suggested to detect a large scale of specimen for multiple proteins,it is effective.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and prognosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) in elderly patients with sepsis in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods Clinical data of 108 elderly patients diagnosed as sepsis admitted in ICU in our hospital,from May 2010 to May 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.Patients were divided into two groups:the AKI group and the non-AKI group.Clinical characteristics,laboratory and physiologic data were compared between groups.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors for AKI in these patients,and clinical outcome was retrospectively analyzed.Results Among the 108 elderly patients,60 patients developed AKI and the incidence was 55.6%.Baseline glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were lower in the AKI group than in non-AKI group (t=4.536 and 3.28).Prothrombin time (PT) (t=3.053),multiple organ dysfunction score (MODS) (t =2.201),acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score (t=3.423),the incidence of septic shock (x2 =5.400) and patients undergoing surgical operation within two weeks (x2 =5.625) were higher or longer in AKI group than in non-AKI group (all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that MAP (OR =0.833),baseline GFR (OR=0.776),MODS (OR=2.039) were independent risk factors for AKI occurrence.Hospital mortality,length of stay in ICU and hospitalization time were higher or longer in AKI group than in non-AKI group (P=0.001,0.026 and 0.042).Conclusions MAP,baseline GFR and MODS are the independent risk factors for AKI occurrence in elderly adults with sepsis in ICU.Hospital mortality,length of stay in ICU and hospitalization time are increased in sepsis patients combined with AKI.

In order to cultivate advanced person with ability,we should teach students some theoretics and more practical skill during microbiology teaching. after we using the measures “examining on theoretics and practical skill that must be mastering in the lesson”. Students had been more interested in microbiology,and advanced of knowledge. So “examining on theoretics and practical skill that must be mastering in the lesson” is better method in teaching of Microbiology in Occupation technique college.
