腮腺显像对鼻咽癌放疗后腮腺功能的评价

目的利用腮腺显像研究鼻咽癌放疗后腮腺的摄取与排泄功能.方法48例鼻咽癌患者中,对38例肿瘤和肿大淋巴结行加速调强放疗（SMART）,其亚临床灶和预防照射区接受常规照射;余10例行常规放疗.放疗前后均行腮腺显像,计算腮腺的放射性摄取指数（UI）及酸性刺激后排泌指数（EI）,对腮腺功能损伤情况进行分析;同时记录患者口干程度并分级.结果鼻咽癌SMART组放疗后腮腺UI和EI分别下降21.9%和37.3%,中重度口干者12例;而常规放疗组腮腺功能明显下降,UI和EI分别下降56.1%和96.1%,中重度口干者9例,两者比较差异均有显著性（P＜0.05）.结论腮腺显像可灵敏地监测鼻咽癌放疗后腮腺功能.     

Serum transforming growth factor-β1 level reflects disease status in patients with esophageal carcinoma after radiotherapy

AIM: To evaluate the relationship between changes in serum transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) level and curative effect of radiotherapy (RT) in patients with esophageal carcinoma.METHODS: Ninety patients with histologically confirmed esophageal carcinoma were enrolled. Serum samples for TGFβ1 analysis were obtained before and at the end of RT. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure serum TGFβ1 level. Multivariate analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between disease status and changes in serum TGFβ1 level.RESULTS: Serum TGFβ1 level in patients with esophageal carcinoma before RT was significantly higher than that in healthy controls (P ＜ 0.001). At the end of RT, serum TGFβ1 level was decreased in 67.82% (59/87) of the patients. The overall survival rate at 1,3 and 5 years was 48.28% (42/87), 19.54% (17/87)and 12.64% (11/87), respectively. Main causes of death were local failure and regional lymph node metastasis.In patients whose serum TGFβ1 level decreased after RT,the survival rate at 1, 3 and 5 years was 61.02% (36/59),28.81% (17/59) and 18.64% (11/59), respectively. The survival rate at 1 year was 17.86% (5/28) in patients whose serum TGFβ1 level increased after RT, and all died within 18 mo (P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: Serum TGFβ1 level may be a useful marker for monitoring disease status after RT in patients with esophageal carcinoma.     

Monitoring pressure ulcer healing in persons with disabilities.

Pressure ulcers are a high-risk, high-volume, and high-cost problem for persons with disabilities. This article describes four tools published in the literature and reports the validity, reliability, strengths, and limitations of each. These tools include the Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH), the Pressure Sore Status Tool (PSST), the Sussman Wound Healing Tool (SWHT), and the Sessing Scale. Rehabilitation nurses should use a consistent framework with accurate quantification to assess, document, and monitor changes in pressure ulcers over time. Such a measurement tool must prove valid for the disabled population in which the tool is used. This will enable healthcare providers to communicate more effectively and evaluate the therapeutic plan of care.     

消化性溃疡在某部军人中的发病情况及相关因素调查

目的 了解部队消化性溃疡（PU）的发病情况及幽门螺杆菌（Hp）感染情况，探讨军人Pu发生的危险因素。方法 采用多阶段分层整群随机抽样的方法，对南方战区某地6160名军人进行PU症状及危险因素问卷调查，并进行胃镜精查、Hp检测。结果 军人PU相关症状发生率（Sc≥5分）18．60％。标化后的PU患病率12．78％，其中军龄1年、南方籍、装甲部队军人PU患病率高。Hp感染率62．67％。Hp感染（OR4．60）、吸烟（OR3．8）、持续高强度军事训练（OR4．3）、驾驶战斗车辆（OR6．0）、经常精神紧张（OR3．7）等与PU症状发生的关系较大。辛辣饮食、常饮牛奶、是否独生子女等与PU发生无关。结论 军人PU患病率及Hp感染率均较高。军人PU发病情况在不同军龄、兵种、入伍前地域之间存在差别，Hp感染、军事训练、精神因素、某些不良生活习惯等与军人PU的发生密切相关。     

Systematic review of methods to diagnose infection in foot ulcers in diabetes.

AIM: To undertake a systematic review of the diagnostic performance of clinical examination, sample acquisition and sample analysis in infected foot ulcers in diabetes. METHODS: Nineteen electronic databases plus other sources were searched. To be included, studies had to fulfil the following criteria: (i) compare a method of clinical assessment, sample collection or sample analysis with a reference standard; (ii) recruit diabetic individuals with foot ulcers; (ii) present 2 x 2 diagnostic data. Studies were critically appraised using a 12-item checklist. RESULTS: Three eligible studies were identified, one each on clinical examination, sample collection and sample analysis. For all three, study groups were heterogeneous with respect to wound type and a small proportion of participants had foot ulcers due to diabetes. No studies identified an optimum reference standard. Other methodological problems included non-blind interpretation of tests and the time lag between index and reference tests. Individual signs or symptoms of infection did not prove to be useful tests when assessed against punch biopsy as the reference standard. The wound swab did not perform well when assessed against tissue biopsy. Semiquantitative analysis of wound swab might be a useful alternative to quantitative analysis. The limitations of these findings and their impact on recommendations from relevant clinical guidelines are discussed. CONCLUSION: Given the importance of this topic, it is surprising that only three eligible studies were identified. It was not possible to describe the optimal methods of diagnosing infection in diabetic patients with foot ulceration from the evidence identified in this systematic review.     

唾液腺放射性损伤及其防护

放射治疗在头颈肿瘤的地位已得到广泛认同，但放疗并发症不容忽视，最常见的是放射性口干。其主要机制为放射诱导的唾液腺损伤，早期和晚期损伤的机制不同。目前对唾液腺放射防护的研究主要集中在放射防护剂、放射技术、基因转移技术等多个方面。
