食管癌放疗中二次模拟定位临床探讨

目的：探讨食管癌放疗中间再次定位的必要性和重要性。方法：我院放疗科自1998年10月－2001年3月对356例食管癌患者行单纯放疗或放疗加化疗，356例患者照射全过程都进行二次模拟定位（第一次模拟定位后照射30－40GY／15－20次后进行第2次模拟定位）。比较分析前后二次模拟定位靶中心移位的情况。结果；靶中心移位＜0．5cm为157例，移位0．5－1．0cm为130例，移位＞1．0cm为69例。全部靶中心移位达55．90％。食管肿瘤长度＜5cm靶中心移位27例，5－8cm移位117例，病变长度＞8cm移位55例，P＜0．05；食管肿瘤发生于颈段，上胸段靶中心移位25例，而中、下段食管移位174例，P＜0．01。结论：食管肿瘤外照射达到一定剂量时，靶中心会出现不同程度的移位，肿瘤长度越长靶中心移位会更明显， 肿瘤位置越小，移位亦显著。因此，我们对食管癌患者放疗全过程必需进行2到3次定位，这样才能保证靶中心的精确度，以达到预期治疗目的。     

Contribution of genetic factors for melanoma susceptibility in sporadic US melanoma patients

Abstract:  The risks of developing malignant melanoma (MM) include ultraviolet irradiation and genetic factors. To examine the contribution of rare and common variation within known MM genes in sporadic US MM patients, coding regions of known MM susceptibility genes [cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A ( CDKN2A ), cyclin-dependent kinase 4, melanocortin 1 receptor ( MC1R ) and tyrosinase ( TYR )] were resequenced in 109–135 MM cases. The significance of variants was examined by comparing their frequencies in 390 cancer-free controls. Potential deleterious mutations in CDKN2A were found in two patients and two others had variants of unknown significance. Cases were more likely than controls to harbour the MC1R 'R' variants known or predicted to alter its function ( P  = 0.002), particularly the R160W variant ( P  = 0.0035). The associated TYR R402Q variant (rs1126809*A) was found in 29% of cases, similar to what has been described previously. One MM patient with a family history of MM, who had developed other skin cancers, was homozygous for a novel TYR variant (P406L) of unknown significance. Hence, rare variants in TYR may be important risk factors for skin cancer.     

SNAP-II predicts mortality among infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

OBJECTIVE: Outcomes analysis in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) requires a validated risk-adjustment tool. The purpose of this study was to use the Canadian Neonatal Network (CNN) database to validate the Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology, Version II (SNAP-II) for prediction of mortality among CDH infants admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and to compare this to the predictive equation recently developed by the Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Study Group (CDHSG). STUDY DESIGN: Infants with CDH in the CNN database were identified. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify risk factors predictive of mortality. Model predictive performance and calibration were assessed using the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve and the technique of Hosmer-Lemeshow, respectively, and compared with the CDHSG predictive equation. RESULTS: There were 88 patients with CDH among 19,507 admissions to CNN hospitals. The mortality rate among CDH patients surviving to NICU admission was 17%, and 12.5% received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy. Gestational age and admission SNAP-II score predicted mortality. Model predictive performance and calibration were optimized with these variables combined. The CDHSG equation was equally predictive of mortality, but was only marginally calibrated. CONCLUSIONS: SNAP-II is highly predictive of mortality among patients with CDH, and can be used to risk-adjust these patients.

目的:比较嵌体与全冠治疗牙间食物嵌塞的临床操作及修复效果.方法:对纳入标准的78例患者随机分组,分别用嵌体和全冠进行修复并进行随访观察,并对两种方法的临床应用效果进行比较.结果:在对牙龈及牙周保护方面,嵌体与全冠有显著性差异;在边缘密合、重塑邻接关系及牙齿敏感方面,二者无显著性差异.结论:嵌体较全冠修复牙间食物嵌塞临床操作简便省时,更有利于保护牙髓及牙周组织健康,美观经济.     

Delta hepatitis virus infection in China

To assess the prevalence, epidemiological features and prognostic implications of hepatitis D (Delta) in Sichuan Province, The People's Republic of China, 649 sera (515 from HBsAg positive patients and 134 from HBsAg negative subjects) were tested by radioimmunoassay (RIA) for antibody to the hepatitis D virus (anti-HD). Forty-seven sera (7.2%) showed some degree of reactivity. Serial dilutions of these sera indicated that prozoning was not responsible for the equivocal results. Thirty-four of the 47 sera were submitted under code to a second laboratory for independent analysis. According to those results anti-HD antibodies were detected in four of these sera. The overall prevalence of anti-HD in the HBsAg positive patients therefore was 0.8% (4/515). On the basis of clinical, biochemical and histological data 427 HBsAg positive sera were further divided into acute Type B hepatitis, chronic Type B hepatitis, healthy carrier state and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) subgroups. Two of 65 (3.1%) anti-HD positive sera belonged to the acute Type B hepatitis group; one of 104 (0.9%), the chronic Type B hepatitis group and one of 246 (0.4%), the healthy carrier group. No antibody was detected in sera from 12 HBsAg positive HCC patients. All HBsAg negative patients were negative for anti-HD antibody. The results of this study indicate that despite a high prevalence of hepatitis B virus infection, positive serology for delta virus is uncommon in Sichuan Province, The People's Republic of China.
