Objective:To investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of primary ovarian lymphoma(POL). Methods:A retrospective review was performed based on the clinical records of 14 POL cases treated at Tianjin Medical University Oncology in-stitute Hospital verity from 2000-6 to 2010-5. Results:The median age of patients was 47 years at presentation(range 28~62years). Ab-dominal pain was the most common initial symptom. The majority of histological subtype was B cell lymphoma, above 50%of which is diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A R0 resection was carried out in 2 patients who were lost to follow-up soon after sur-gery. 11 patients were treated by CHOP, FC or CHOPE chemotherapy. Chemotherapy combined with rituximab were given to 5 pa-tients. Until now, 5 patients were alive, 6 patients died, and only one patient was lost to follow up after therapy. Conclusion:POL is an extremely rare lymphoma. The ultimate diagnosis depends on histopathologic examination. Primary ovarian non-Hodgkin lymphoma should be treated with multi-modality strategies. Treatment with doxorubicin-based chemotherapy after oophorotomy is recommended. B cell lymphoma preferred to use rituximab combination chemotherapy. Abdominal cavity chemotherapy prophylaxis and irradiation can decrease the probability for recurrence .

Objective To investigate the clinical significances of thyroid function changes in patients with post-stroke depression(PSD). Methods Sixty two cases with acute cerebral infarction (CI) were stratified into two groups by Zung self-rating depression scale, single cerebral infarct patients group (CI group) and PSD group. Serum levels of FT3, FT4 and TSH of the patients were detected on 2 days,7days,14 days and 21days after admission. Results ①On each time point after admission, FT3 levels in PSD group were lower than those in CI group. FT3 levels in the two groups on the 7 days were higher than those on 2 days(2.04±0.53 vs 1.28±0.19, 1.43±0.91 vs 1.07±0.37, P <0.05).On the 14 and 21 days, levels of FT3 in the PSD group were continuously increased.②On the 2 days and 7 days after admission, FT4 levels in PSD group were higher than those in CI group. FT4 levels in the two groups on the 14 days were lower than those on 7 days(1.52±0.18 vs 2.09±0.26, 1.57±0.31 vs 2.28±0.38, P <0.05). ③On the 2 days after admission,the TSH level in the PSD group were lower than that in CI group(2.02±0.36 vs 2.27±0.49,P <0.05). Conclusion The results indicated that the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis plays important role in the pathogenesis of PSD.

Objective To observe the effects of stationary cycle training on lower limb muscle tension and motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.Methods Sixty-seven children with spastic cerebral palsy were divided into a treatment group (n =34) and a control group (n =33).Both were treated with routine rehabilitation therapy,including neurodevelopment treatment,massage and physical agent therapy.The treatment group additionally cycled on a stationary bicycle for 20 min a day,five days a week for 3 months.Muscle tension in the children's adductor,hamstring and gastrocnemius muscles was evaluated using the modified Ashworth scale (MAS),while the adductor angle,popliteal fossa angle and foot dorsiflexion angle were measured using a joint protractor.Moreover,the 88-item version of the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88) was used to evaluate gross motor function.Results After treatment the average muscle tension of both groups was significantly lower than before treatment.The average muscle tension scores of the adductors,hamstrings and calf muscles of the treatment group [(1.79±0.54),(1.00±0.60),(2.29 ±1.77)] were significantly lower than those of the controls [(1.82 ± 0.53),(1.15 ± 0.44),(2.52 ± 1.89)].The adductor angles,popliteal fossa angles and foot dorsiflexion angles of both groups were significantly larger than before treatment,and the angles in the treatment group [(97.06 ± 19.03) °,(53.38 ± 12.54) ° and (8.38 ± 9.11) ° respectively] were significantly larger on average than those in the control [(98.94 ± 21.42) °,(56.52 ± 12.90) ° and (5.30 ± 14.30) ° respectively].After treatment the total GMFM scores of both groups were better than before treatment,but the treatment group's average score(138.18 ± 54.86) was significantly better than that of the control group(112.21 ± 62.44).Conclusion Three months of stationary cycle training can effectively reduce the muscle tension of children with spastic cerebral palsy and improve their motor function.
