Methods： During April 1997 to April 1999, 98 cases of hlng cancer were surgically treated. The tumor specimens of the patients were stained by NE markers, i.e. neuron specific enolase （NSE） and synaptophysin （SY）. The intensity of NE markers reaction was divided as ＂＋＂. ＂＋＋＂. ＂＋＋＋＂ scale groups. The same specimens were also examined under an electron microscope for the specific neuroendocrine granules. All enrolled patients were followed up for 36 months, and the longest follow-up time was 60 months. The COX proportional hazard model multivariate analysis was applied to observe the relationship between the NSCLE-NE and the patients＇ postoperative survival. Results： In 91 cases of NSCLC, 63.7% （58/91） were positive for NE stain reaction. Among them, 59.3% （54/91） were positive for NSE and 24.1% （22/91） for SY. 48.4% （44/91） were considered as NSCLC-NE by the combination of NE inarker stain reaction and electron microscopic examination. COX proportional hazard model lnnltivariate analysis showed that the NSCLC-NE patients＇ survival was significantly shortened （P=0.048）. The following factors were related to NSCLC-NE patients＇ survival： lung cancer cell differentiation （P=0.006）, clinical lung cancer stage （P=0.001）, the NE markers reaction （P=0.054）. Conclusion： NSCLE-NE is significantly related to the cancer cell differentiation and the patients＇ postoperative survival. The NE markers should be applied clinically as one of prognostic factors to evaluate the postoperative survival of NSCLC patients.展开更多

This study showed that patients got higher scores in Functional scales （except for CF）, and lower scores in Symptom scales and single items （except for FI） after receiving intervention than before it was received before.CONCLUSION The study revealed that the QOL in middleaged male patients after total gastrectomy was worse when there was inadequate attention. After implementing pertinent nursing intervention implementing, patients＇ mental attitude and negative behavior were improved, and their QOL was enhanced after returning home and into society.展开更多

Methods: Sixty nine patients with thymoma surgically treated in our department from 1973 to 2000 were retrospectively studied. The possible prognostic factors were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate analysis with Kaplan Meiter method and Cox proportional hazard model respectively. Results: Overall patients survival rates were 83.3%, 67.4%, 48.3% at 5, 10, 15 years. The significant prognostic factors ( P <0 05) demonstrated by univariate analysis included age, Masaoka staging, WHO histological classification, resection method and Rosai/Levine classification. According to multivariate analysis, the independent prognostic factors included Masaoka stage ( P <0 01), resection method ( P <0 05) and age ( P <0 05). Conclusion: Complete surgical resection of thymomas helps increase the long term survival rate.展开更多

Methods: 230 patients with severe TBI were randomly divided into two groups. 115 patients underwent SLTC (10 cm×12 cm) as an SLTC group, and other 115 patients underwent temporo parietal or fronto temporal craniotomy (6 cm×8 cm) according to the position of hematomas as a routine craniotomy (RC) group. Other treatments were identical in two groups. According to Glasgow outcome scale (GOS), the prognosis of the patients was evaluated and the complications were compared between two groups. Results: 27 patients got good outcome and moderate disability ( 23.5 %), 40 severe disability and vegetative survival ( 34.8 %), and 48 died ( 41.7 %) in SLTC group. 21 patients got good outcome and moderate disability ( 18.3 %), 28 severe disability and vegetative survival ( 24.3 %), and 66 died ( 57.4 %) in RC group. The incidence of incision hernia was lower in SLTC group than in RC group. However, the incidence of operative encephalocele, traumatic epilepsy and intracranial infection were not different in two groups. Conclusions: Standard large trauma craniotomy significantly reduces the mortality of patients with severe TBI without serious complications, but does not improve the life quality of the patients.展开更多
