Primary malignant mesodermal ovarian sarcomas

Primary malignant mesodermal ovarian sarcomas are rare tumors and have a poor prognosis. The disease is usually diagnosed at a late stage and 5-year survivals are uncommon. Most patients are treated with debulking surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. We report ten patients treated at a single institution. All patients underwent surgery and 90% received adjuvant chemotherapy. The median survival was 20 months, and only one patient survived beyond 5 years. Newer treatment strategies are urgently needed in the management of this disease.     

铁筷子多糖抑制鼠S180生长的形态学观察

目的观察铁筷子多糖(Heborus thibetanus Franch polysaccharose，HFPS)对小鼠体内肉瘤S180生长的影响及荷瘤鼠肉瘤、胸腺组织的组织学变化。方法设立正常对照组、肿瘤模型组、铁筷子多糖处理组和阳性对照组(复方天仙胶囊处理组)。用小鼠肉瘤S180细胞株建立动物肿瘤模型，灌胃给予荷S180小鼠HFPS后，计算抑瘤率及观察荷瘤鼠胸腺组织及肉瘤组织的形态变化。结果铁筷子多糖有明显抑制S180肉瘤细胞体内生长的作用；对照鼠S180肉瘤模型，多糖(HFPS)治疗组荷瘤小鼠胸腺皮质厚度较明显增加，胸腺细胞增多；小鼠肉瘤组织中肉瘤细胞发生不同程度的变性和坏死以及中性粒细胞、淋巴细胞为主的炎细胞浸润。结论铁筷子多糖有抑制S180细胞体内生长的作用。

(足母)趾跖趾关节滑膜性骨软骨瘤病1例报告

患者,女,32岁,因左(足 母)趾内侧疼痛8年,加重伴(足 母)趾肿胀1个月入院。入院前曾行血尿酸、抗O、RF未见异常,ESR28mm/L。入院查体:疼痛性跛行,左(足 母)趾跖趾关节周围红肿,有压痛,第一跖趾关节活动度检查:跖屈与背伸均为30°。X线示左(足 母)趾第一跖趾关节跖内侧可见多数散在的、大小相仿的高密度钙化影(图1)。入院诊断:左(足 母)趾跖趾关节滑膜性骨软骨瘤病。完善术前各项准备后,于2001年7月24日在连续硬膜外麻醉下行左(足 母)趾跖趾关节滑膜性骨软骨瘤切除术。     

Lokalrezidive von Weichteilsarkomen an Extremitäten und Rumpf

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) tend to recur locally. In a series of 140 patients operated on during the past two decades with STS of the extremities and trunk, prognostic factors influencing local recurrence were determined. Statistical significance was evaluated for the quality of surgical resection (P<0.001), regional positive lymph nodes (P=0.03), and adjuvant radiotherapy (P=0.01) [for resection without wide margins (R1) and low-grade (G3) tumors]. In 1988, the surgical procedure was standardized. After 1987, local recurrence decreased significantly (P < 0.001). In subfascial tumors, local recurrence occurred far less in cases of compartmental resection than with wide excision. These data indicate that the course of patients with STS can be beneficially influenced by optimal therapy. Resection with wide margins in all three dimensions is the aim of sarcoma surgery. Postoperative radiation therapy is indicated in the case of R1 resection.

Lokalrezidive von Weichteilsarkomen an Extremitäten und Rumpf

Zusammenfassung Weichteilsarkome neigen zur Ausbildung von Lokalrezidiven. In einer Studie von 140 Patienten der letzten 20 Jahre mit Sarkomen an Extremitäten und Rumpf wurde untersucht, welche Faktoren das Auftreten von Lokalrezidiven beeinflussen. Statistische Signifikanz ergab sick fur die Qualität der chirurgischen Re sektion (R) (p<0,001), den regionalen Lymphknotenstatus (p=0,03) sowie eine adjuvante Strahlentherapie (p=0,01) [bei marginal resezierten (RI), niedrig differenzierten (G3) Tumoren]. 1988 wurde das chirurgische Vorgehen standardisiert. In der Zeit danach traten signifikant weniger Rezidive auf als davor (p < 0,001). Bei subfaszialer Lage traten Rezidive nach Kompartmentresektion wesentlich seltener auf als nach weiter Resektion. Der Krankheitsverlauf von Weichteilsarkomen ist also durchaus therapeutisch beeinflußbar. Ein dreidimensional weiter Sicherheitsabstand ist das entscheidende Therapieziel, eine Bestrahlung in R1-Situationen indiziert.

     

红景天素抗肿瘤作用的研究

本研究通过体外培养５种人癌细胞（肝癌、胃癌、肺癌、Ｈｅｌａ细胞和咽癌）和小鼠移植性肿瘤实验，证明了红景天素可明显抑制３种癌细胞的生长增殖，可提高荷瘤小鼠的存活率，延长其生存期，抑瘤率在５０％以上。结果提示红景天素对体外培养３种癌细胞和小鼠Ｓ１８０。细胞均有一定的抑制作用。     

Sarcomas of head and neck — A 10 yrs experience

38 cases of sarcoma of head and neck region were analysed in a retrospective way in relation to age, anatomic location, histological, clinical profile, and surgical approaches. Compared to other types of head and neck neoplasms, such as squamous cell carcinoma, soft tissue sarcomas have low rates of regional metastases. However the biological behaviour of soft tissue sarcoma is more aggressive specially in paediatric age group. In the present series, CT scan was considered as the primary modality of investigation. Surgery generally has been recommended as the primary method of treatment for achieving local control, except in those high-grade tumours arising in sites not amenable to resection. 3-year and 5-year survival rates in this present series 50% and 31.6% respectively.
