This study presents our experince in lung volume reductionby surgery. Patients and Methodls : ٢٠ patients underwent lung volume reduction during the period from ١٩٩٧-٢٠٠٠, There were ١٥ men and ٥ women ranging in age from ٢٢-٧٢ years. Chronic obstructive diffuse emphysema was found in ٨ patients, bollous emphysema in ١٢, of them ٤ with unilateral involvement, high oxygen dependency ٢ patients, steroid use ١ , ٨ patients were operated on using thoracoscopic surgery, ١٠through unilateral thoracotomy and ٢ through median sternotomy, Operation included excision of ٢٠٪-٣٠٪of the volume of each lung with the use of linear stapling. Results: There has been ٥٪ perioperatve mortality, and the most common complication was air leaking (٧ patients). Conclusion : Lung volume reduction may be of significant value for selected patients with lung emphysema especially younger patients with diffuse emphysema, bollous emphysema, unilateral disease and combined emphysema with surgical lung disease as hydatid cyst or tumors.

Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer death. S100A7 overexpression has been associated with early stages of carcinomas . This study aimed to evaluate the levels of serum S100A7 in lung cancer. Our study contains 63 patients of lung cancer (46 newly diagnosis patients, 11 treated patients, 6 recurrence patients) and 15 healthy volunteers
We retrospectively reviewed data of all patients who underwent study or surgery for Lung Cancer from (1997 to 2012) in the department of thoracic surgery at Alassad University Hospital in Damascus. There were 2029 patients with Lung cancer,1727 male 85,11% and 302 female 14,88%,87,53% of patients were smoking, and cough was the most common symptom about 70% of patients. There were 889 squamous cell carcinoma 43,81%, 702 adenocarcinoma 34,79%, 246 small cell carcinoma 12,12%,67 large cell carcinoma 3,3% and 66 carcinoid tumor 3,25%; the staging was 6,35% stageI,14,98% stageII,15,91% stage IIIA,29,02% stageIIIB,33,71% stage IV. Radical Surgery consisted of 621 formal lung resection 229 lobectomies 36,87%, 163 bilobectomies 26,2%, 158 pneumonectomy 25,44%,35 sleeve or bronchoplastic resection 5,63% ,36 partial resection 6,15%. The perioperative mortality was 3,05% and the overall 5 year survival was 22,9%. Our study resembles most of the studies made in the developing countries in the result that the rate of smoking and of lung cancer among women is fewer compared to the International rate. It also resembles most of the European countries in the result that squamous cell carcinoma is the most common pathological pattern, and the size of pulmonary resection is bigger than that in the developed countries where they have earlier diagnosis. Moreover, the rate of the sleeve resection surgery along with the rate of mortality resemble that of the International centers.
Treatment plans were studied for patients with lung and esophageal tumors, patients were imaged using CT-Scan (PHILIP TYPE) and the images were sent to the Treatment Planning System-TPS (ECLIPS type), the system in which the doctor identified the tum or and at-risk organs. Conventional 3D-Conformal Radiotherapy (3DCRT) and Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) plans were created for the same patients. Treatment plans were compared according to the Dose Volume Histogram (DVH).It was observed that the radiation dose distribution of radiotherapy plans using IMRT technique better suited to tumor size (CTV) and protecting more organs surrounding the tumor, but it takes longer than 3DCRT technology. Therefore it is necessary to determine which patients should be treated with one technique (3DCRT or IMRT) or another technique depending on the full dose given to CTV and the time it generally takes.
This research was conducted on the insurance sector in Syria during the period 2005 - 2014 (since its inception in Syria) represented by twelve private insurance company that extended during the search period on the entire area of Syria through th e centers of these companies and their branches and offices, and its delegates and agents even though the activity of these companies and their spread has receded with the onset of the crisis in Syria. The purpose of conducting this research is to model the relationship between the business volume and the employment volume in these companies during the study period.
