RESUMO
Objective:To analyze the risk factors for complications of the retromandibular approach in patients with parotid gland posterior and lower pole tumors.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 140 patients with parotid posterior lower pole tumors admitted to the Xingtai Third Hospital from October 2019 to October 2021. They were divided into two groups based on whether complications occurred: the occurrence group and the non occurrence group. General data of the two groups of patients were collected, including age, gender, course of disease, previous surgical history, number of tumors, tumor length, resection range, facial nerve dissociation, tumor site resection frequency, and fascia preservation; Single factor and logistic multivariate analysis were conducted to determine the risk factors for complications of the posterior retromandibular approach in patients with parotid gland posterior and lower pole tumors.Results:A total of 140 patients with parotid gland posterior lower pole tumors underwent retromandibular approach treatment, with complications occurring in 38 cases (27.14%), including 7 cases of temporary facial paralysis, 10 cases of facial depression, 11 cases of Frey syndrome, 2 cases of fistula, and 8 cases of sensory abnormalities of the greater auricular nerve. Through logistic multivariate analysis, it was found that the number of tumors ≥ 2 ( OR=2.856), the resection range (total resection) ( OR=2.477), the number of surgeries ≥3 ( OR=5.637), facial nerve dissociation ( OR=3.526), and lack of fascia preservation ( OR=2.551) were all risk factors for postoperative complications in patients with parotid posterior pole tumors (all P<0.05). Conclusions:In clinical practice, relevant prevention and treatment measures should be formulated for these high-risk factors to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
RESUMO
Objective To quantitatively compare the γ-H2AX foci formation between DNA-PKcs+/+and DNA-PKcs-/-mouse embryonic fibroblast(MEF)cells,and to investigate the dynamic changes in DNA double-strand breaks(DSBs)in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma SUNE-1 cells exposed to X-ray radiation. Methods The expression of DNA-PKcs was determined by Western blot. The γ-H2AX foci formation induced by 5 Gy X-ray radiation was detected by cell immunofluorescence. The ImageJ software was used to quantitatively analyze the γ-H2AX foci formation. Results The expression of DNA-PKcs was silenced in DNA-PKcs-/-MEF cells and normal in DNA-PKcs+/+MEF cells. According to the dynamic analyses of the numbers of γ-H2AX foci/cell and γ-H2AX foci/mm2, a similar tendency was observed in DSB formation in DNA-PKcs+/+MEF cells, DNA-PKcs-/-MEF cells,and SUNE-1 cells exposed to X-ray radiation. A large number of γ-H2AX foci formed at 0.5-1.0 h after radiation. DSBs were repaired at 6 h after radiation in DNA-PKcs+/+MEF cells and 24 h after radiation in DNA-PKcs-/-MEF cells and SUNE-1 cells. The peak values of γ-H2AX foci/cell and γ-H2AX foci/mm2were observed at 1.0 and 0.5 h after radiation, respectively. Compared with DNA-PKcs+/+MEF cells, DNA-PKcs-/-MEF cells had different numbers of γ-H2AX foci/cell at 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 6.0, and 12.0 h after radiation, as well as different numbers of γ-H2AX foci/mm2at 3.0, 6.0, and 12.0 h after radiation. Conclusions Quantitative measurement of the number of γ-H2AX foci/cell or γ-H2AX foci/mm2by cell immunofluorescence provides new insights into the quantitative and dynamic study of DSB damage and repair.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the clinical factors for pathologic complete response ( pCR) after preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy ( neo?CRT) for locally advanced rectal cancer. Methods From 2005 to 2012, 297 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer and complete clinical data were enrolled as subjects. Those patients were diagnosed with biopsy and treated with neo?CRT ( radiotherapy by 3?dimonsional conformal radiotherapy or volumetric?modulated arc therapy) followed by radical surgery. The logistic regression model was used for the multivariate analyses of the correlation of pCR with age, gender, distance between tumor and the anal verge, serum level of carcinoembryonic antigen ( CEA ) before treatment, hemoglobin level before treatment, cT staging, and cN staging. Results In all patients, 78 ( 26?7%) patients had pCR after treatment. The numbers of patients with pCR were 42( 34?4%) in patients with stage T1?T3 disease and 37(21?1%) in patients with stage T4 disease. In the patients with serum CEA levels no higher than 5?33 ng/ml, 55(36?4%) had pCR after treatment, while in the patients with serum CEA levels higher than 5?33 ng/ml, only 24( 16?4%) had pCR. The univariate analysis revealed that age, gender, distance between tumor and the anal verge, anemia before treatment, or cN staging were not related to pCR. The multivariate analysis showed that stage cT1?T3 and a serum CEA level no higher than 5?33 ng/ml before treatment were influencing factors for pCR after neo?CRT for locally advanced rectal cancer ( P=0?031,P=0?000) . Conclusions The clinical staging and the serum CEA level before treatment are influencing factors for pCR after neo?CRT for locally advanced rectal cancer. The serum CEA level before treatment can be considered as a predictor of pCR after neo?CRT for locally advanced rectal cancer.
RESUMO
Objective: To explore the value of implanted intensity-modulated bmchytherapy for recurred cervical carcinoma. Metheds: A total of 25 cases of recurred cervical carcinoma were enrolled into the trial group which were treated with pelvic implanted aftedoading intensity-modulated brachytherapy. The other 25 patients with recurred cervical carcinoma treated with routine brachytherapy during the same pedod were en-rolled into the control group. Results: There were 20 cases with CR and 5 cases with PR in the trial group, and 10 cases with CR, 7 cases with PR, 4 cases with SD and 4 cases with PD in the control group, with a signifi-cant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). In the trial group, there were 5 cases with vaginal-rectal fis-tula and 1 case with grade 3 enteritis. In the control group, there were 3 cases with vaginal-rectal fistula. Con-dusion: Pelvic implanted intensity-modulated brachytherapy for recurred cervical carcinoma is satisfactory with better short-term efficacy than that of the routine brachytherapy and tolerable side effects.
RESUMO
Objective:To explore the indication and operative procedures with different operation styles of the surgical treatment of condylar fractures. Methods:The results of the surgery styles to condylar fractures were reviewed with the clinical data of 112 condylar fracture cases,by clinical condition,radiodiagnosis,fracture region,degree of displacement and time of trauma,that included 53 cases of anatomical reduction in subcondylar oblique ramus osteotomy without detaching condyle,38 cases of traditional open reduction,18 cases of arthroplasty in oblique ramus osteotomy with detaching condyle upside-down,3 cases of arthroplasty in oblique ramus osteotomy with detaching condyle. Results:The anatomical reduction in subcondylar oblique ramus osteotomy without detaching condyle was an effective treatment of condylar fractures on long term results. Conclusion:Majority condylar fractures may apply the anatomical reduction in subcondylar oblique ramus osteotomy without detaching condyle. Smashed fractures and old fractures of condyle may apply the arthroplasty in oblique ramus osteotomy with detaching condyle upside-down. The high condylar fractures may use the arthroplasty in oblique ramus osteotomy with detaching condyle.
