OBJECTIVE:To evaluate therapuetic efficacy and toxic reaction of 2 therapuetic regimens for 56 cases of bone me-tastasis of cervical cancer. METHODS:56 cases of bone metastasis of cervical cancer with complete information were collected ret-rospectively and randomly divided into radiochemotherapy group(31 cases)and diphosphonate group(25 cases). Radiochemothera-py group was given radiotherapy,chemotherapy and diphosphonate;diphosphonate group was given palliative symptomatic treat-ment of diphosphonate;a treatment course lasted for 3-4 weeks,and both groups received 3 courses of treatment. Average survival time,survival quality and toxic reaction were comparison in 2 groups. RESULTS:After bone metastasis of cervical cancer,the av-erage survival time of radiochemotherapy group was 17 months (95%CI:9.1-24.9),and that of diphosphonate group was 19 months (95%CI:2.4-35.6);3 years later,the survival rate of radiochemotherapy group was 16.1%,and that of diphosphonate group was 16.0%,there was no statistical significance(P=0.820). To compared KPS after 3 treatment courses,the improvement rate of radiochemotherapy group(22.6%)was significantly lower than that of diphosphonate group(40.0%),with statistical signif-icance (χ2=4.36,P<0.05). Toxic reaction of radiochemotherapy group was more significant than that of diphosphonate group. CONCLUSIONS:Diphosphonate has little effect on survial quality and slight toxic reaction. It is worthy of spreading in some pa-tients with advanced,elderly and reccurred bone metastasis of cervical cancer.

Objective To study the feature of the etiology of pediatric syncope by cases study,and to discuss the feasibility on identification between the cardiac and neurally-mediated syncope with its inducements and symptoms.Methods One hundred and eleven patients were etiologically classified by standard diagnostic procedure to summarize the inducements,presymptoms and symptoms.The data about cardiac and neurally-mediated syncope were statistically treated to find their characteristic manifestation.Results Among these,60.4% was non-cardiovascular syncope,18.9% was postural hypotension,18.0% was vasovagal syncope and 9% was cardiac syncope.Most of them were non-cardiac syncope and neurally-mediated syncope was on the top,while cardiac syncope was rare in children.Prolonged standing and nausea was the feature of the neurally-mediated syncope,and the cardiac syncope is associated with physical exercise.Conclusions Most pediatric inpatients were non-cardiovascular syncope in which neurally-mediated syncope is first on the list.The movement-related syncope is the feature of the cardiac syncope.The prolonged standing and nausea are due to neurally-mediated syncope.

OBJECTIVE:To eualuate in vitro antibacterial activities of silver nitrate and povidone-iodine for preventing ophthalmia neonatorum. METHODS:Minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) and mininmal bactericidal concentration (MBC) were deter-mined by double broth dilution method. RESULTS:For Stapanrens Streppnenmonia and N gonorhveae,the MIC50 of silver nitrate were＜4～8μg.ml－1 and its MIC90 were 8～32μg.ml－1.The MIC50 of povidone-iodine were64～256μg.ml－1 and its MBC90were 512 μg.ml-1. CONCLUSION: Silver nitrate and povidone-iodine exhibited activities against common pathogens of ophthalmia neonatorum isolates.Silver nitrate was more active than povidone-iodine.

Huaier (Trametes robiniophila) has been widely used as an adjuvant drug for cancer treatment in China. The anti-cancer effect of Huaier extract has been confirmed in liver cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, and so on. The main mechanisms by which Huaier exerts an anti-neoplastic effect include inhibition of the growth and proliferation of cancer cells, induction of apoptosis of cancer cells, suppression of angiogenesis, inhibition of the invasion and migration of cancer cells, regulation of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes expression, improving immunity, and reversal of drug resistance in cancer cells. In order to provide references for further study and clinical application on anti-tumor effect of Huaier, the latest research progress on anti-tumor effect of Huaier in recent years is summarized in this paper.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic and differentiable value of video-electroencephalogram(VEEG)in sleeping-related seizure disorder.Method Sixty-five cases with sleeping-related seizure disorders(35 suspected epilepsy and 30 suspected non-epileptic seizure)enrolled in our clinics from Jan.2005 to Jun.2006 were examined by VEEG and EEG.Results Among 35 children suspected to have the possibility of epilepsy,the epileptic discharge rate examined with VEEG was 62.86%(22/35),which were significantly higher than that by EEG was 17.14%(6/35)(P
