Objective:To investigate the relationship between lymph node metastases and the prognosis of uterine cervical cancer patients diagnosed at Ⅲ C1p after abdominal surgery. Methods:The clinical data of 350 uterine cervical cancer patients preoperatively confirmed as 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage Ⅰ B-Ⅱ A who underwent abdominal hysterectomy followed by postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy between January 2012 and December 2019 at Subei People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province were retrospectively analyzed, and there were 81 patients postoperatively diagnosed at stage Ⅲ C1p. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival of patients stratified by different factors, and multivariate Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of patients. Results:Among 81 uterine cervical cancer patients diagnosed at stage Ⅲ C1p after abdominal surgery, 79 cases were successfully followed up. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with parametrial infiltration, the number of metastatic lymph nodes > 2, metastatic lymph node rate > 20 and common iliac lymph node metastasis had worse disease-free survival (DFS) and the overall survival (OS) (all P < 0.05). Multivariate Cox proportional analysis showed that the number of metastatic lymph nodes > 2 ( HR = 5.38,95% CI 1.30-22.20, P = 0.020) was an independent risk factor for OS; the number of metastatic lymph nodes >2 ( HR = 5.99, 95% CI 1.45-24.77, P = 0.013), common iliac lymph node metastasis ( HR = 4.91, 95% CI 1.17-20.55, P = 0.029) were independent risk factors for DFS. Conclusion:Lymph node metastasis may be associated with the prognosis of uterine cervical cancer patients diagnosed at stage Ⅲ C1p after abdominal surgery. The number of metastatic lymph nodes > 2 is a adverse influencing factor for OS and DFS.

Experience of wound treatment on extremely severe mass burn patients involved in August 2nd Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident / 中华烧伤杂志

Objective@#To explore experience of wound treatment of extremely severe mass burn patients involved in August 2nd Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident.@*Methods@#On August 2nd, 2014, 98 extremely severe burn mass patients involved in August 2nd Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident were admitted to 20 hospitals in China. The patients with complete medical record were enrolled in the study and divided into microskin graft group with 56 patients and Meek skin graft group with 42 patients. Split-thickness skin in area of residual skin were resected to repair wounds of patients in microskin graft group and Meek skin graft group by microskin grafting and Meek miniature skin grafting, respectively. The residual wound size on 28 days post injury and wound infection after skin grafting of patients in the two groups, and position of donor site of all patients were retrospectively analyzed. Data were processed with t test and chi-square test.@*Results@#The size of residual wound of patients in Meek skin graft group on 28 days post injury was (59±13)% total body surface area (TBSA), which was obviously smaller than that in microskin graft group [(70±14)%TBSA, t=4.379, P<0.05]. Twenty-nine patients in microskin graft group and 11 patients in Meek skin graft group suffered from obvious wound infection after skin grafting. Wounds of patients in two groups were repaired with residual skin around wound in head, trunk, groin, armpit, and uncommon donor sites of scrotum (4 patients), vola (10 patients), and toe or finger web (8 patients).@*Conclusions@#Meek skin graft is the first choice for wound repair of extremely severe burn mass patients, with faster wound healing, less wound infection. Uncommon donor sites of scrotum, vola, and toe or finger web can also be used for wound repair in case of lack of skin.

Contrast sensitivity analysis about fundus changes of hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy / 中南大学学报(医学版)

To observe corrected visual acuity and contrast sensitivity (CS) in patients with hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy accompanied by fundus changes.
 Methods: Ninety-eight patients with hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy and 50 healthy pregnant women underwent eye examination, including corrected visual acuity and fundus examination, and CS. Differences in corrected visual acuity and contrast sensitivity between the 2 groups were analyzed with two independent samples t-test analysis, while correlation between vision and contrast sensitivity in patients was evaluated by using spearman correlation test. Difference in CS was compared between the early and advanced stage of fundus diseases.
 Results: Corrected visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in patient with hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy were lower than that in the control group (P<0.01). Corrected visual acuity in patients was associated with contrast sensitivity at variously spatial frequencies (P<0.01), showing the most correlation in contrast sensitivity at 6 of spatial frequency (r=0.87). Compared with the early stage, the CS in the advanced patients with fundus diseases was decreased (P<0.01).
 Conclusion: The visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in patient with hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy are reduced. The CS (6.0 c/d) has the largest correlation with corrected visual acuity. Comparing with the visual acuity, contrast sensitivity can be more comprehensive in evaluation of retinal function damage in patients with hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy.

Analysis of the contrast sensitivity of branch retinal vein occlusion without involving the macular region / 中华眼底病杂志

Objective To observe the contrast sensitivity (CS) of patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) without involving the macular region.Methods 92 BRVO patients (93 eyes) and 56 cases (112 eyes) without eye diseases (control group) were included in the study.According to different region,BRVO patients were divided into the nasal BRVO group (31 eyes) and temporal BRVO (62 eyes) group,and the average corrected visual acuity was 1.02 ± 0.13 and 0.98 ± 0.12 respectively.According to the type of ischemia,BRVO patients were divided into the nonischemic BRVO group (58 eyes) and ischemic BRVO group (35 eyes),the average corrected visual acuity was 1.01 ± 0.14 and 0.99 ± 0.12 respectively.The average corrected visual acuity of the control group was 1.03 ± 0.11.There was no statistically significant difference of the average corrected visual acuity between nasal BRVO group,temporal BRVO group and control group (F=3.03,P =0.06),and between nonischemic BRVO group,ischemic BRVO group and control group (F=1.60,P=0.20).Contrast sensitivity (CS) was measured by OPTEC 6500 vision tester (Stereo Company,USA) under the standard lighting conditions and different spatial frequencies including low (1.5 and 3.0 c/d),medium (6.0 c/d) and high frequencies (12.0 and 18.0 c/d).Results The CS under each spatial frequency of the nasal BRVO group was the same as the control group (t=4.25,9.48,3.08,5.86,0.94;P＞0.05),but the CS under each spatial frequency of the temporal BRVO group was different from the control group (t=8.59,19.11,10.38,17.28,6.01;P＜0.05).The CS under high spatial frequency of the temporal and nasal BRVO group was statistically different (t=11.42,6.95;P＜0.05).The CS under each spatial frequency of the ischemic BRVO group was different from the control group (t=8.88,10.56,11.64,19.06,6.67;P＜0.05).The CS under 6,12 and 18 c/d spatial frequency of the nonischemic BRVO group was statistically different with the control group (t =10.14,11.54,2.82;P＜0.05).The CS under 12 and 18 c/d spatial frequency of the nonischemic BRVO group was statistically different with the ischemic BRVO (t=7.52,3.84;P＜0.05).Conclusions The CS of the temporal BRVO and ischemic BRVO decreased more significantly under each spatial frequency.CS is a better indicator to evaluate the visual function than the visual acuity in BRVO without involving the macular region.
