Post-translational modification by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like modifiers(Ubls) is one of the most important mechanisms regulating a wide range of cellular processes in eukaryotes.Previous research showed that,through covalently modification by ubiquitin or ubls,the substrate proteins can be regulated in many different ways like stability,subcellular localization,enzymatic activity,protein-protein interaction and so on.Therefore,we believe,that ubiquitin and ubls play very important roles in cellular and biological processes by modifying plenty of proteins.To better understand the ubiquitin and ubls system,proteomic approaches have been developed to purify and identify more protein substrates.Large-scale idendification of ubiquitin/ubls-modification sites by mass spectrometry is particularly important for understanding the molecular mechanism and function of ubiquitin/ubls modification.Upto the present,more and more scientists are getting interested and participating in proteomics research of ubiquitin/Ubl modifications.This review summarizes the rencent results in this field.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the treatment of benign positional paroxysmal vertigo of posterior semi-circular canal by Epley maneuver combined with Semont maneuver.
METHOD:
One hundred and fifty patients with benign positional paroxysmal vertigo of posterior semicircular canal were randomly divided into three groups: group A, B and C. Patients in group A were treated by Epley maneuver and patients in group B were treated by Semont maneuver. Patients in group C were received the treatment of Epley maneuver combined with Semont ma- neuver. We recorded the times of treatments in different groups respectively. Statistics of treatment effects and follow-up studies with 3 months after the recovery were assessed.
RESULT:
The cure rate of the canalith repositioning on the primary, secondary and tertiary treatment in group A was respective 72% (38/53) and 81% (43/53) and 85% (45/53), in group B was 68% (30/44) and 80% (35/44) and 84% (37/44), in group C was 89% (47/53) and 94% (50/53) and 98% (52/53). The cure rate in group C is significantly higher than group A and group B (χ2 = 6.777, P < 0.05; χ2 = 6.647, P < 0.05). 3 months after recovery 6 patients in group A, 5 patients in group B and 1 patient in group C were relapsed.
CONCLUSION
By the use of Epley maneuver combined with Semont maneuver in the treatment of benign positional paroxysmal vertigo of posterior semicircular canal, the primary cure rate was increased and the numbers of treatments were reduced and the relapse was decreased. It is suitable to use Epley maneuver combined with Semont maneuver in the clinic.

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between the lymph node metastasis and clinicopathological features in patients with clinical stage T1a non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
METHODSClinicopathological data of a total of 418 patients who underwent lobectomy and systematic lymph node dissection were retrospectively analyzed. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between lymph node metastasis and clinicopathological features.
RESULTSLymph node metastasis was observed in 25 patients. There were 122 patients who were diagnosed as ground glass opacity with no lymph node metastasis. 399 patients had subcarinal dissection, among them 7 patients were found to have lymph node metastasis. Univariate analysis showed that gender, smoking history, diameter of lymph node, ground glass opacity (GGO), differentiation of the tumor and tumor site were the factors affecting lymph node metastasis (all P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that diameter of lymph node, differentiation of the tumor and the site of lesion were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis of NSCLC.
CONCLUSIONSTumor in the left lung, poor differentiation, and diameter of lymph nodes ≥ 1 cm on the preoperative CT image are independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis of NSCLC, hence we should pay attention before surgery and systematic lymph node dissection should be done. For patients with poor differentiation and lymph nodes ≥ 1 cm, subcarinal lymph nodes dissection is recommended for the sake of higher possibility of lymph node metastasis. For patients with ground glass opacity ≤ 2 cm, the lymph node metastasis is extremely rare, therefore, selective lymph node dissection is reconmmended.

Objective The objective of this study was to explore the association between human papillomavirus( HPV) and prognosis of lung cancer by meta-analysis. Methods The PubMed,Embase and Cochrane literature databases studies were searched using a combination of subject terms and free words. As of October 2018,a total of 123 related documents were obtained. After screen-ing the literature according to inclusion and exclusion criteria,the basic information of the study,HPV detection methods,lung cancer patients,hazard ratio(HR)values and 95% confidence interval(CI)were extracted from each study. The meta-analysis of random effects models was used to evaluate the correlation between HPV infection and prognosis in patients with lung cancer. Heterogeneity was assessed using the Q test and I2statistics,and publication bias was tested using Egger′s linear regression test and Begg′s rank cor-relation test. Results The study finally included 11 articles(9 in Asia,2 in Europe and US),and 1439 patients with lung cancer. Meta-analysis using a random-effects model showed no significant association between HPV infection and prognosis of lung cancer (HR=0. 90,95% CI:0. 71~1. 13). A stratified analysis of lung cancer pathological subtypes showed that the prognosis of patients with HPV-infected lung adenocarcinoma was significantly better than that in patients without HPV-infected lung adenocarcinoma (HR=0. 65,95% CI:0. 49~0. 85). Sensitivity analysis was performed by sequentially removing the included studies,and the results were not statistically significant. The results of Egger′s test(P=0. 708)and Begg′s test(P=0. 784)suggest that there is no publica-tion bias in this study. Conclusion HPV infection may be related to the prognostic of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. More basic and clinical studies are needed to further explore the association between HPV infection and lung adenocarcinoma as well as the corre-sponding mechanisms in the future.

BACKGROUND:
Simultaneity multiple primary lung cancer always is a rare disease, but in recent years due to the progress of the diagnosis and treatment means detection rate increased. This study summarized the clinical data of 31 cases of synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (sMPLC) analysis, further to explore the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of MPLC.
METHODS:
Sum up the clinical data of 31 cases of simultaneous multiple primary lung cancer, the diagnostic method, surgical methods, pathology, were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS:
All the patients are thoracoscope surgery, no deaths. Thin high resolution computed tomography (CT) in preoperative found multiple lung nodules. Lesions located in the same side of the same period surgical treatment, the operation method is given priority to with under the thoracoscope lung + the lobectomy; Lesions located in bilateral, all staged operation, the time interval for 3 months-4 months.
CONCLUSIONS
Thin layer distinguish CT preoperative diagnosis is the best way to simultaneous multiple primary lung cancer. Multiple primary lung cancer incidence of ipsilateral lung at the same time higher than that of bilateral lung (23:8), type, around 94%, the most common histology to adenocarcinoma, 80.6% (25/31). Primary lesions under thoracoscope lobectomy plus the lobectomy of secondary lesions is the most commonly used.

OBJECTIVETo compare the short-term outcomes and pulmonary function loss between thoracoscopic anatomical partial-lobectomy and thoracoscopic lobectomy on the patients with pT1aN0M0 peripheral non-small cell lung cancer.
METHODSThe clinical data of 191 patients with pT1aN0M0 peripheral non-small cell lung cancer received thoracoscopic anatomical pneumonectomy between January 2013 and July 2013 in Department of Thoracic Surgery, Cancer Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences was analyze retrospectively. There were 71 patients underwent thoracoscopic anatomical partial-lobectomy and 120 patients underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy. Demographic features, operation time, blood loss, number of dissected lymph nodes, chest tube duration, drainage volume, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, two-year progress and pulmonary function loss of FEV1% (percentage of the predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second) at 6 months were retrospectively reviewed and compared by t test, rank-sum test, χ² test and Fisher exact test.
RESULTSThere were no significant differences in operation time, blood loss, number of dissected lymph nodes, chest tube duration, drainage volume, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complication rate (P > 0.05). The two-year progress rate between two groups did not differ significantly either (1.4% vs. 1.7%, χ² = 0.000, P = 1.000). Pulmonary function loss of FEV1% at 6 months was significantly smaller in thoracoscopic anatomical partial lobectomy group than thoracoscopic lobectomy group (14% ± 4% vs. 16% ± 4%, t = 2.408, P = 0.017).
CONCLUSIONSThoracoscopic anatomical partial-lobectomy is safe and feasible for patients with pT1aN0M0 peripheral non-small cell lung cancer. It could achieve equal short-term effect and reserve more pulmonary function compared with thoracoscopic lobectomy.

Resection is crucial for treating non-small cell lung cancer. Routine follow-up after surgery is an effective method for early detection and treatment of tumor recurrence and metastasis or the second primary tumor, which can improve the quality of life of patients and their prognosis. This consensus aims to provide a reference for colleagues responsible for postoperative follow-up of non-small cell lung cancer patients in China, and further improve the standardization of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment.
