Objective:To introduce recent progress on diagnosis and treatment of benign symmetric lipomatosis(BSL).Method:Detailed clinical data of 6 patients with BSL were reviewed and analyzed.We present a summary of the clinical symptoms,physical sign,diagnosis and therapeutic methods of BSL. And related literatures were discussed together.Result:All of 6 patients have excessive subcutaneous fat deposit predominantly around neck.One patients had upper extremity localizations. Six patients had the complication of left ventricular diastolic function changes,glucose intolerance or diabetes mellitus, chronic hepatopathy, hyperuricemia and sleep apnea syndrome in one or more. One patients with several symptoms occur simultaneously, another one female patient was accompanied by all symptoms but chronic hepatopathy. Five male patient were alcohol abusers. Tatal neck lipentomy and abstinence from alcohol were performed on 5 patients. One patient refused treatment.During a follow-up of 3 months to 4 years, one patients was relapsed again,and no recurrence was seen in another 4 patients. All pathological results were nonencapsulated fat. Conclusion:BSL is a lipodystrophy caused by diffuse fatty tissue, symmetry deposition in the neck and shoulder subcutaneous fascia space or deep fascial space .The highest incidence favors to middle-aged man who is alcoholist. Chronic alcohol addiction and typical clinical symptoms help to diagnosis BSL. Lipectomy represents a successful procedure in treating BSL.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the change of laryngeal carcinoma cell apoptosis before and after radiotherapy.
METHOD:
Living tissue of diseased region obtained from 27 cases of laryngeal carcinoma before and during radiotherapy 10, 30 and 60 Gy were used in this study. With terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL), the spontaneous and radiation-induced apoptotic rate (AR)were examined.
RESULT:
The AR of living tissue of laryngeal carcinoma before and during radiotherapy 10, 30 and 60 Gy were (21.0 +/- 0.7)%, (60.0 +/- 1.5)%, (42.0 +/- 1.3)%, (25.0 +/- 1.9)%, respectively. The radiation-induced apoptotic rate was significantly higher than that of spontaneous apoptotic rate (P< 0 . 5). In laryngeal carcinoma, spontaneous apoptosis was positively correlated with the radiation-induced apoptosis.
CONCLUSION
Detecting of AR of laryngeal carcinoma cells before and during radiotherapy may be helpful to predict the sensitivity of radiotherapy in laryngeal carcinoma patients.

One patients with several symptoms occur simultaneously, another one female patient was accompanied by all symptoms but chronic hepatopathy. Five male patient were alcohol abusers. Total neck lipectomy and abstinence from alcohol were performed on 5 patients. One patient refused treatment. During a follow-up of 3 months to 4 years, one patients was relapsed again, and no recurrence was seen in another 4 patients. All patho logical results were nonencapsulated fat.
CONCLUSION
BSL is a lipodystrophy caused by diffuse fatty tissue, symmetry deposition in the neck and shoulder subcutaneous fascia space or deep fascial space. The highest incidence favors to middle-aged man who is alcoholic. Chronic alcohol addiction and typical clinical symptoms help to diagnosis BSL. Lipectomy represents a successful procedure in treating BSL.

OBJECTIVE:
To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of child cervical and thoracic angio lymphoma.
METHOD:
Three cases of huge cervicothoracic angio lymphoma were performed by cervicothoracic approach and median split of sternum under general anesthesia.
RESULT:
The pathological diagnosis of three cases were angio lymphoma, and there was no recurrence and complication during the follow-up.
CONCLUSION
The tumor could be fully exposed by cervicothoracic approach operation, which was the basic guarantee for completely revealed tumor, and no recurrence was found. Other treatment should not be recommend for huge cervicothoracic angio lymphoma.
