Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders among children and adolescents.Poor sleep affects cognitive performance and is associated with poor emotional and physical health in children and adolescents.Early identification and treatment can have positive short-and long-term effects on the children,the parents,and the family as a whole.Pediatric sleep medicine had sustained development in recent years,however,in China,the researches on the epidemiology,diagnosis and treatment of insomnia in children and adolescents are in lack.In order to capture the majority of pediatric medical workers and parents attention,and to improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment level,the focuses on current diagnosis,therapy and related study progress of insomnia in children and adolescents were reviewed.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of Xiaoaiping injection with rectum administration combined with conventional chemotherapy in the treatment of epithelial ovarian tumor. METHODS:60 patients diagnosed as epithelial ovari-an tumor were divided into observation group and control group according to the actual order,with 30 cases in each group. AU pa-tients received TC chemotherapy,4-6 cycles in total;And patients in control group received TC chemotherapy for 3 weeks,i.e. pa-clitaxel 175 mg/m2,3 h,i.v.+carboplatin AUC=5-7.5,1 h,i.v.. Based on this,observation group was additionally given Xiaoaip-ing injection with rectum administration,20-30 ml each time,once a day,2 weeks as a treatment course. Clinical effective rate, 1-year progression-free survival rate and median progression free survival and the incidence of adverse events were compared be-tween 2 groups. RESULTS:Effective rate of observation group was 83.33%,and higher than that of control group (53.33%);there was statistically significant difference (χ2=13.20,P<0.05);1-year progression-free survival rate of observation group was 86.67%,and median progression free survival was 11.3 months;those of control group were 63.33% and 7.2 months;there was statistically significant difference between 2 groups (P<0.01 or P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(χ2=0.53,P=0.47). CONCLUSIONS:Xiaoaiping injection with rectum administration combined with con-ventional chemotherapy in the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer show good curative effect and safety,high 1-year progres-sion-free survival rate and long median progression-free survival.

Background and purpose:To date, it mainly depended on imaging examination for detection of residual lesions, recurrence and distant metastasis, evaluation the sensitivity of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and prognosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Thus, searching for new tumor markers for NPC early diagnosis and individualized treatment is still merited. This study was aimed to investigate the expressions of serum macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-3α and cystatin A in patients with NPC before and after treatment, and to explore two markers’ value in NPC diagnosis, clinicopathological characteristics and clinical outcome assessment. Methods:The serum levels of MIP-3αand cystatin A in 140 primary NPC patients without distant metastasis before and after treatment were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and compared with those in 100 healthy controls. Results:The sensitivity of MIP-3αand cystatin A were 92.1%and 42.1%, respectively;and the specificity of MIP-3αand cystatin A were 86.0%and 85.0%, respectively. All 140 NPC patients had complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR). Serum levels of MIP-3αand cystatin A in pre-treatment patients with NPC were higher than those in post-treatment patients and controls. Serum MIP-3αand cystatin A levels were associated with overall stage of NPC, and MIP-3αwas also associated with T classification of NPC. The serum MIP-3αlevel in NPC with CR after treatment reduced to the level in control group, and that was still significantly higher in NPC with PR than in control group. No significant difference was found in the serum cystatin A level between NPC with CR or PR after treatment and control group. During 1-year follow-up, the post-treatment serum levels of MIP-3αand cystatin A were significantly higher in patients with distant metastasis than in patients without distant metastasis and controls. There was found statistically significant correlation between MIP-3α and cystatin A.Conclusion:MIP-3α may be a potential marker of NPC serological diagnosis. The detection of serum MIP-3αand cystatin A may contribute to the NPC staging and prediction of short-term clinical outcomes.
