Objective To discuss the treatment of cervical cancer in different stages.Methods The treat- ment of 42 cases of cervical cancer in this hospital from January 2000 to December 2005 was analysed,and clinical treatment modalities were analysed too.Results(1)A total of 6 cases of uterine carcinoma in situ received hysterec- tomy plus bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.(2)A total of 26 cases was inⅠb-Ⅱa stage,of which 15 cases with cer- vical cancer were treated with a simple radical hysterectomy;6 cases of cervical cancer were radiotherapied after radi- cal hysterectomy;7 cases of cervical cancer received radical hysterectomy plus radiotherapy.(3)A total of 10ⅡbⅣstage eases selected radiotherapy and chemotherapy.Conclusion Different treatment should be applied in differ- ent stages of cervical cancer,and the choice for treatment is important for patients' quality of life after treatment. Comprehensive treatment can improve the survival of patients with cervical carcinoma.

Objective To propose a new classification scheme of otitis media (OM). Methods By reviewing current internat ional classification systems of OM, we analyzed their disadvantages and the prog ress made in histopathologic studies of OM, then worked out a new classification scheme to apply it to clinic. Results In current internati onal classification systems of OM, those apparent clinical signs are regarded as main standards of classification. Their main disadvantage is that these signs c annot very well indicate the condition of pathologic and functional changes of i mportant hearing structure areas. We proposed a “Three-stage Scheme” of OM cl assification and applied in 1 160 cases of OM. The accuracy rate of diagnosis w as 82.4% in 348 cases of early-stage OM, 98.4% in 696 cases of chronic OM, and 95.2% in 116 cases of OM sequela. Conclusion The “Three-s tage Scheme” system is scientific, simple and practical. Its accuracy rate of d iagnosis is very high. It plays a guiding role in diagnosis and treatment of OM.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor nimesulide lone and combined with cisplatin on tumor growth,and Ki67 and Caspase-3 expression in lung cancer xenografts in nude mice. Methods The mice were randomly divided into 4 groups:the control group,the nimesulide group,the cisplatin group and the nimesulide combined with cisplatin group. A549 cells were injected into BALB/c nude mice subcutaneously.On the 21st day after treatment tumor tissues were collected,and the xenografts growth were observed. The expression of Ki67 and Caspase-3 were detected by immunohistochemical method.ResultsNimesulide combined with cisplatin could significantly inhibited the xenografts growth compared with nimesulide or cisplatin.The tumor inhibition rate was 44.33％ in the nimesulide group,53.61％ in the cisplatin group and 80.41％ in the nimesulide combined with cisplatin group (P ＜ 0.05).Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the expression rates of Caspase-3 was significantly increased in the nimesulide combined with cisplatin group (67.43 ± 23.57 ) ％,the cisplatin group (48.40 ± 20.37 ) ％,and the nimesulide group (38.65 ± 15.37)％,compared with the control group (27.63 ± 13.03)％ (P ＜ 0.05).The expression rate of Caspase-3 was significantly increased in the nimesulide combined with cisplatin group compared with the nimesulide group or the cisplatin group (P ＜ 0.05 ).The expression rate of Ki67 was significantly decreased in the nimesulide group combined with cisplatin group (24.34 ± 15.90)％,the cisplatin group (40.85 ± 22.47)％ and the nimesulide group (53.33 ± 19.67)％ compared with the control group ( 80.43 ± 16.88 ) ％ ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The expression of Ki67 was significantly decreased in the nimesulide combined with cisplatin group compared with the nimesulide group or the cisplatin group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Nimesulide can inhibit human lung cancer A549 cells xenografts in nude mice growth,Nimesulide enhanced the inhibitory effects of cisplatin.The mechanism may be related to inhibition of tumor cell Ki-67 expression,increased expression of Caspase-3,inhibition of tumor cell proliferation,and inducing tumor cell apoptosis.

Objective To discuss the microcosmic elements and syndromes distribution of H pylori-related gastritis. [Method] Choose 100 cases, under gastroscope report, make statistics of frequency of disease nature elements and location elements, combine the nature and location for common syndromes. [Result] The H pylori-related gastritis has main disease location elements in stomach, esp. the sinuses ventriculi;the disease nature elements mainly concern hot, wet, sputum stasis, deficiency and blood stasis; the common syndromes: hot stomach, sputum and stasis blocking stomach, wet-hot accumulated in stomach, deficient stomach, wet stranding stomach and stasis blocking gastric col aterals. [Conclusion] Over the inconsistent syndromes in clinical H pylori-related gastritis, the microcosmic elements differentiation can further standardize syndromes and guide the treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the pathogenic factors of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) complicated by hepatic insufficiency, the prognosis and the effective preventive and therapeutic interventions. METHODS: One hundred and fifty-two patients with SAP (from January 2003 to June 2004) were divided into 2 groups, SAP with hepatic insufficiency group and SAP without hepatic insufficiency group. The related factors such as causes of disease, serum biochemical criteria, complications, mortality and course of disease were observed. RESULTS: The concentrations of serum amylase, creatinine and lactate dehydrogenase were all much higher in the SAP with hepatic insufficiency group than those in the SAP without hepatic insufficiency group (P<0.05). The incidences of complications such as acute renal failure, heart failure, gastrointestinal hemorrhage and infection were also higher in the SAP with hepatic insufficiency group than those in the SAP without hepatic insufficiency group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in mortality between these two groups, but the course of disease in SAP with hepatic insufficiency group was longer than that in the other group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The causes of SAP complicated by hepatic insufficiency are related to the imbalance of internal environment and the characteristics of the liver function. To control the biliary tract diseases, intervene with traditional Chinese medicine, recover the intestinal function in time, reduce the damage of pancreatic enzyme, maintain the stability of internal environment and avoid using drugs that can induce liver injury are all important aspects of reducing the incidence of hepatic insufficiency.

Objective To analyze the demand for home care service and its influential factors among elderly in Tianjin city.Methods A total of 254 residents aged 60 and above from Tianjin city were investigated with a self-designed questionnaireDemand for Home Care Service,Katz index of independence in Activities of Daily Living(ADL) and Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) scale.Results The mean score for home care service has been revealed (2.40±0.67),as the ranking demonstrated:public welfare (3.61±1.04),social participation (2.69±1.32),medical service (2.56±0.90),rights safeguard by law (2.37±1.54),mental need (2.26±0.99),and need for daily life care (1.73±0.69).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that income,education level,activity of daily living and the convenience degree of seeking treatment were major factors affecting demand for home care service among elderly,which explained 16.3％ of the variance.Conclusions Oriented by demand,further progress shall be achieved multidimensionally,under which circumstances,individualized service ought to be de-livered.Simultaneously,the vulnerable elderly groups require more attention.

Biomaterials are commonly applied in regenerative therapy and tissue engineering in bone.Generally,nanoparticles interact distinctively with bone cells and tissue,depending on their com-position,size,and shape.Therefore,detailed analyses of nanoparticle effects on cellular functions have been performed to select the most suitable candidates for supporting bone regeneration.This review will highlight potential nanoparticle applications in bone.We found that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) display exceptional regenerative potential.The delivery of genetic material with nanoparticulate carriers offers the possibility of overcoming certain disadvantages of standard protein delivery approaches.Moreover,nanoparticles are already clinically applied in cancer treatment.Thus,corresponding efforts could lead to new therapeutic strategies to improve bone regeneration or to treat bone disorders.
