OBJECTIVE To discuss the therapeutic effect of one stage surgical treatment in the multiple primary hypopharyngeal and cervical thoracic esophageal carcinoma.METHODS The thoracoscopy group: dissecting the esophagus and mediastinal lymph node assisted with thoracoscope, and then opened abdominal cavity to make gastric tube. Head and neck group: doing the cervical lymph node dissection, total laryngectomy, total hypopharyngectomy and total esophagectomy, and then anastomosis of the pharynx with gastric tube. All cases were received conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy after operation.RESULTS All the cases in this group were successfully underwent the one stage operation. The postoperative complications were pulmonary infection in 3 cases, pleural effusion in 2 cases and tracheal tear in one case. No anastomotic fistula or postoperative deaths occurred. The 3 and 5 year survival rates were 63.6% and 50.0% respectively.CONCLUSION It should take necessary examinations of cervical thoracic esophagus to prevent missing the multiple primary carcinoma of the hypopharyngeal carcinoma. The total laryngectomy, total hypopharyngectomy and total esophagectomy, and anastomosis of the pharynx with gastric tube for multiple primary hypopharyngeal and cervical thoracic esophageal carcinoma is a feasible and active treatment method.

Objective To assess the clustering of cardiovascular risk factors and their effects on target organ damage in elderly patients with hypertension .Methods 421 treated elderly hypertension patients were divided into 5 groups based on the number of risk factors :hypertension without additional risk factor (group A ,25 cases) ,and the other 4 groups were complicated with 1 (group B ,76 cases) ,2(group C ,127 cases) ,3(group D ,128 cases)and ≥ 4 (group E ,65 cases) risk factors .The structure and function of heart and carotid artery were examined by ultrasonography in order to evaluate the damage of target organ and the morbidity .Re-sults The patient groups with three or more risk factors showed significantly higher levels of BMI ,plasma glucose ,triglyceride , LDL-C cholesterol ,serum creatinine and serum uric acid ,and needed greater number of antihypertensive drugs ,compared with other groups(P<0 .05) .The patient groups with two or more risk factors showed significantly higher levels of LVMI ,IMT and MAU/Cr compared with group A(P<0 .05) ,and significantly lower levels of the creatinine clearance (P<0 .05) .In addition ,they showed significantly higher incidences of coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease and chronic kidney disease compared with group A (P<0 .05) .Conclusion These results suggest that the hypertensive patients with clustering risk factors required greater number of antihypertensive drugs .The more additional risk factors exit ,the more target organ damages and higher morbidity occur ,and more intensive intervension are required to control not only blood pressure but also other complicated risk factors .
