Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficiency and side effect of concurrent radiotherapy and weekly chemotherapy with low-dose eisplatin(DDP) and 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) for advanced cervical canc-er. Methods 73 patients with advanced cervical cancer were randomized into two groups: 37 cases in the chemo-radiotherapy group received radiotherapy combined with DDP 40 mg and 5-FU 500 mg weekly for 6-7 weeks. 36 cases in the only radiotherapy group received radiotherapy alone. Radiotherapy was given with conven-tional fraction,the total tumor dose was 50 Gy. Results The rate of overall response and three-year survival and local recurrenc and distant metastasis for the chemo-radiotherapy group and the only radiotherapy group were 97.30%, 89. 19%, 8. 11% and 10. 81%, and those for the only radiotherapy group were 77.78%,66. 67% ,30.56% and 33.33%. The difference of the four groups was statistically significant ( P <0. 05). The rate of bone marrow inhibition and reaction of digestive tract in chemo-radiotherapy group were higher than those in simple radiotherapy group, but most reactions were grade 1 and grade 2, without statistically significant dife-renee between two groups. Conclusion Concurrent radiotherapy and weekly chemotherapy with low-dose cis-platin and 5-fluorouracil for advanced cervical cancer can significantly improve local control rate and survival rate, and have slight side effects.

Objective To evaluate the long-term effects and safety of an intense pulsed light (IPL) in the treatment of epilation.Methods 159 patients received treatment with a non-coherent IPL because of unwanted facial and body hair.116 cases were followed up by means of phone call or letters.The average follow-up time was 38 months.Results Overall,36 (31.0%) patients were very satisfied,53 (45.7%) were satisfied and 27 (23.3%) remained unsatisfied with the outcome of lightassisted hair removal.The non-coherent intense pulsed light satisfactorily removed unwanted dark hair.Hair-free periods from weeks to years could be observed.Besides,the satisfaction was not related with the colour of the skin.Conclusions Hair removal by a non-coherent intense pulsed light is an effective and safe method for long-term epilation of unwanted hair.

Objective:Based on the survey of qualitative and quantitative on rural doctors in 6 provinces and cities in China , this paper aimed to compare the present situation of construction of rural doctors under the new health care reform and explore the impact of the new health care reform as well as to propose some suggestions . Methods:Based on the survey of questionnaire and in -depth interviews on rural doctors in 6 provinces and cities in China .Results:The problems existed for rural doctors in China such as insufficient number of personnel , ag-ing, lack of young rural doctors supplement , low level the requirements and situation of professionalism , etc.Con-clusion:It should accelerate the process of the cultivation of rural doctors , promote the education level of rural doc-tors, gradually ease the current situation of the rural doctor shortage .

Objective:To investigate the clinical treatment of large segmental humeral defects with unilateral external fixation and bone transport.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted of the 9 patients who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics, Shenzhen People's Hospital for large segmental humeral defects from September 2017 to June 2019. They were 5 males and 4 females with an average age of 29 years (from 21 to 41 years). Their defects were caused by trauma in 2 cases, by chronic osteomyelitis in 6 cases and by bone tumor in one case. The length of bone defect ranged from 4.2 to 9.0 cm, with an average of 5.9 cm. A unilateral external fixator was placed in operation, and adjusted regularly 7 to 10 days after operation for bone transport and bone lengthening to restore the length of humerus gradually. The external fixation bracket was removed after 3 to 4 layers of cortex were observed on X-ray films. Recorded were length and rate of humeral lengthening, fracture healing time, time for carrying external fixator and complications; the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scores were compared between preoperation and 15 months postoperation.Results:All the patients were followed up for 15 to 36 months (mean, 19 months). The length of lengthening averaged 5.9 cm (from 4.2 to 9.0 cm) with an average lengthening rate of 26%, the healing index 31 d/cm, the bone healing time 8.3 months, and the time for carrying external fixator 10.8 months(from 8.0 to 13.5 months). Their average DASH scores improved significantly from 25.0 ± 2.4 preoperation to 12.0 ± 1.8 at 15 months postoperation ( P<0.05). Good correction of large humeral defects was achieved in all but one case who reported temporary radial nerve paralysis. There were no such complications as neurovascular injury. The shoulder and elbow functions were basically normal after operation. Conclusions:In the treatment of large segmental humeral defects, unilateral external fixation plus bone transport can quickly repair the defects and recover the upper limb function of the patients.

Objective:
To explore the clinical application of individualized design of facial artery perforator flap for the repair of midfacial defect caused by tumor resection.
Methods:
From January 2015 to January 2018, a total of 36 cases of midfacial defect were repaired by individualized designed facial artery. Flaps were designed and harvested according to the location and size of the midfacial defect resulted from tumor resection, including propeller flaps, droplet flaps and swallowtail-shape flaps. Flap size was between 1.3 cm × 1.6 cm and 2.0 cm × 4.2 cm with the donor site being sutured in the first stage.
Results:
During the 6 months to 3 years of postoperative follow-up, no tumor recurred. All the 36 cases of individualized designed facial artery perforator flaps survived well. Furthermore, flaps being designed according to the wound defect had a good appearance, the flaps matched the color and texture of the surrounding skin and had a favorable appearance. Besides, flaps had a certain degree of sensory recovery while there was no obvious scarring presented in the donor area.
Conclusions
Individualized design of facial artery perforator flap has great advantages of simple and flexible, easy manipulation, reliable flap blood flow and minimal donor injury, which render it valuable for clinical application.
