| 1 | Changed clinical aspects of primary liver cancer in China during the past 30 years显示文摘BACKGROUND: Primary liver cancer (PLC) is one of the most frequently seen tumors in China. Thirty years ago, patients with PLC were often detected at relatively late stage, with a palpable mass or marked clinical symptoms and poor prognosis. In the past 30 years, the diagnosis and treatment of PLC have been greatly improved with better prognosis. METHODS: In order to study the changes of PLC during the 30 years, the clinical data of 3250 patients with PLC from 10 medical institutions of China were collected, ana- lyzed , and compared with those of 3254 PLC patients be- fore the 30 years. RESULTS: In the 3250 patients aged 1-80 years, with an average age of 49.1 years, the male to female ratio (2.3:1) was lower than that before the 30 years. 73.5% of the 3250 patients sought medical advice within 3 months after the onset of the disease in contrast to 63.8% before the 30 years. Compared with those patients before the 30 years the symptoms and signs were alleviated generally. The HBsAg positive rate was 81.0%, but the HCV-Ab positive rate was 13.2%. The AFP level in 75% of patients was elevated, but in the remaining 25% was normal. 1912 patients (58.8%) were confirmed pathologically. Among them 1755 patients (91.8%) had hepatocellular carcinoma. The overall resec- tion rate was 46.3%. Those who had early, middle, late stage carcinoma accounted for 29.9%, 51.5%, and 18.6%respectively in contrast to 0.4%, 47.0%, and 52.6% repor- ted before the 30 years. The 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rates of the patients were 66.1%, 39.7%, and 32.5% respectively, whereas 93.5%, 70.1%, and 59.1% for the early stage pa- tients, and 65.3%, 30.5%, and 23.5% for the middle stage patients. The half and 1-year survival rates of the late stage patients were 52.5%, and 14.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Comparison with the clinical data before and after the 30 years show that PLC can be diagnosed ear- ly. More PLC patients tend to undergo resection while re- ceiving a better conservative treatment, which ensures a prognosis. | Bing-Hui Yang, Jing-Lin Xia, Li-Wen Huang, Zhao-You Tang, Ming-Shan Chen, Jin-Qing Li, An-Min Liang, Qin-Guo Mo, Hui-Shan Lu, Chao-Liu Dai, Lu-Nan Yan, Zhi-Jian Yu, Rong-Sheng Rao, Le-Qun Li, Zhi-Xiong Su, Zhuang-Wei Fang Shanghai, China Liver Cancer Institute & Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai 200032, China Tumor Hospital, Zhongshan University, Guangzhou 510000, China Tumor Hospital, Guangxi Medical Universi- ty, Nanning 530000, China Xiehe Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou 350000, China Second Hos- pital, Chinese Medical University, Shenyang 110000, China Huaxi Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610041, China Hospital Affiliated to Nantong Medical University, Nantong 226000 , China Second Hospital, Jiangxi Medical University, Nanchang 330000 , China First Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi Medical University, Nanning 530000 , China People’s Hospital of Hainan Province, Haikou 570000, China | 2004 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2004,3,2: | 20 |
| 2 | Species composition and distribution of marine nematode community in the North Taiwan Strait显示文摘Marine free-living nematodes were investigated at 13 sampling stations divided into three transects in the northern Taiwan Strait in February 1998. One hundred species of marine nematodes belonging to 91 Genera 28 Families 3 Orders were identified and were first recorded in the northern Taiwan Strait. The dominant species were Vasostoma sp., Sabatieria sp. 1, Linhystera sp. 1, Spilophorella sp., Daptonema sp., Halalaimus sp. and Dorylaimopsis variabilis. Their main densities were all over 4 950 ind./m2. According to mean density at transects, marine nematode density decreased from coastal Weitou to off Minjiang Estuary, which was similar to polychaete distribution in northern Taiwan Strait. The selective deposit feeder (1A) was the dominant food type of marine nematodes in the northern Taiwan Strait, but non-selective deposit feeders (1B) and epigrowth feeders (2A) occupied high proportion, indicating diverse feeding types of marine nematodes in the northern Taiwan Strait. Some environmental factors such as currents are discussed. | Cai Lizhe, Hong Huasheng, Zou Chaozhong, Fang Shaohua, Lu Xiaomei, Zhang Yueping (1.
