We here present a SCNEC impatient with distant metastasis. A 74-year-old Chinese male went to hospital to treat a tongue tumor, which was founded at a conventional physical examination in weifang stomatology hospital. The check of positron emission tomography-computer tomography (PET-CT) by Weifang people’s hospital revealed a tumor in the right root of tongue, and distant metastasis in the right submandibular area, neck, mediastinum, right hilar, abdominal, retroperitoneal multiple lymph nodes, left thyroid, right lower lung, right scapula and bilateral adrenal. The patient was diagnosed tongue SCNEC by the pathological analysis of the tissue section. Conforming to the diagnosis of tongue SCNEC, the patient received adjuvant chemotherapy for 6 cycles with etoposide and carboplatin, and is alive now 9 months after the diagnosis. 2017-05-20T00:00:00Z http://localhost:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/13954 Title: Nitroglycerin hypotensive effect and application in a combined surgery for reconstruction after ipsilateral maxillectomy and orbit evisceration Authors: Sun, Yuhang; Dong, Xiaohui; Zhang, Guofeng; An, Jing; Yuan, Haojun Abstract: The oral and maxillofacial region is rich in blood, and it is often difficult to stop bleeding during the operation of maxilla. Nitroglycerin is one of the most commonly used antihypertensive drugs in our hospital. We observed the effect of controlled hypotension in patients with maxillary resection. In group N, the patients had different degrees of tachycardia after using nitroglycerin only. In addition, nitroglycerin has the characteristics of rapid drug resistance. A combined reversed temporal muscle flap and random forehead flap technique was performed successfully to reconstruct the large defect after ipsilateral maxillectomy and orbit evisceration. There were 43 cases used this method during 20142016 without large side effects. 2017-05-20T00:00:00Z http://localhost:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/13953 Title: Effects of Codonopsis pilosula water extract on MicroRNA expression profile in D-galactose-induced senile mice Authors: Cai, Jianguang; Aqeel Ashraf, Muhammad; Luo, Limei; Tang, Hui Abstract: This paper aims to observe and analyze effects of Codonopsis pilosula water extract on micro RNA (miRNA) expression profile in liver tissue of senile mice. The 110 Konminmice were randomly divided into five groups, including D-galactose-induced senile model group, normal control group, and low, middle and high dose intervention groups. Continuous modeling lasted 40 days. General symptoms and changes of body mass of the model mice were monitored and observed. The levels of serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) of mice were compared, and miRNA of differential expression during aging of D-galactose-induction and high-dose Codonopsis pilosula intervention was analyzed. The serum ALT and ALP levels in the aging model group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group (P<0.05). The serum ALT and ALP levels of Codonopsis pilosula intervention group were lower than those of aging model group, and decrease in ALP value of high dose intervention group was higher (P<0.05). The expression profile of miRNA in the aging model group was significantly different from that in normal control group and high-dose Codonopsis pilosula intervention group, and miRNA expression profile in high-dose Codonopsis pilosula intervention group was clustered with that in the normal control group. The differentially expressed miRNAs of D-galactose-induced senescence and Codonopsis pilosula anti-aging usually belong to 7 miRNA clusters. The target gene function of the differentially expressed miRNAs during senescence process was enriched in 29 signal pathways. There were 67 regulatory signal pathways in differentially expressed miRNA target genes during Codonopsis pilosula intervention. The effect of miRNA targeting may play an important role during D-galactose-induced senescence and Codonopsis pilosula anti-aging period. 2017-05-20T00:00:00Z http://localhost:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/13952 Title: Pentoxifylline intervention and drug action in scalping forehead flap for large temporal cutaneous defects Authors: An, Jing; Chen, Xingqi; Sun, Yuhang Abstract: Pentoxifylline is widely used in the treatment of cerebrovascular disease, at present, there are a variety of drugs in the clinical expansion of the role of the skin flap, by improving or promoting blood circulation, to ensure the survival of the flap. We designed scalping forehead flap to reconstruct large temporal cutaneous defects. This flap is reliable and can give us excellent postoperative result. This design has several advantages and is worth to be promoted. The scalping forehead flap we designed is reliable. The posterior auricular artery and it branches provided enough blood supply to the scalp and forehead tissue of the flap. The frontal muscle also make the flap have a high survival rate. Large temporal cutaneous defects can be reconstructed by this novel scalping forehead flap we described. This technique is useful especially for patients who suffered malignant tumor and can not choose free flap. 2017-05-20T00:00:00Z
