Methods: Nineteen locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) patients from November 2003 to November 2005 were analyzed retrospectively. NAIC was administrated 2 courses every 2 weeks using a combination of 30 mg/m^2 bleomycin and 50 mg/m^2 cisplatin via bilateral femur artedes. The response to NAIC was assessed by pelvic examination and imaging diagnostics and histological analysis. Two weeks after NAIC radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed. Results: Radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy were performed in 18 patients successfully. The mean tumor reduction rate was 73.04%. The overall clinical response rate of NAIC was 84.2% with 2 complete responses and 16 partial responses. Only 1 nonresponder. Six of 7 cases who had parametrial infiltration had a absence after chemotherapy, no significant change was observed in 1 case who followed by radiotherapy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that tumor volume prior to treatment was determining factor affecting the efficacy of NAIC in LACC. Conclusion: pre-operative NAIC inhibited the growth of LACC, minimized the size, eliminate effectively the pathologic dsk factors in the pelvic cavity, to improve the operability in cervical cancer patients with stage lib or above, considered inoperable.展开更多

Treatments involved 13 irrigation regimes which applied in stem elongation, heading and grain filling growth stages. The highest seed yield (4,333 kg-ha-1) and the lowest ones (1,377 kg'hal) were obtained from T1 (100% field capacity (FC) in all growth stages) and T13 (50% FC in all growth stages), respectively. With limitation in water amount seed yield was diminished, but this trend was not significant at T4 (100%, 100% and 50% FC) and TI 1 (100%, 100% and 75~/0 FC). Stepwise regression results revealed that, seed number per spike had the largest contribution (partial R2 = 0.72) in seed yield variation. Also at TI, T4, and TI 1 treatments (well water treatments) as well as TI3 (sever stress) head number m2 contribute most in seed yield determination (partial R2 = 0.96). It can be concluded that water shortage during the grain filling period and its allocation to the other consecutive crop, can increase crop production in southern regions of Iran.展开更多
