Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is associated with tumor and (or) anti-tumor treatment,which has a high incidence and seriously affects the life quality of patients.The etiology of CRF involves psychology,physiology and social factors.There are various hypothesis of pathogenesis and the inflammatory system may play an important role in the generation and development of CRF.A variety of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,CRP are significantly correlated with CRF.

Objective To discuss the surgical management of von Hippel Lindau(VHL) syn drome.Methods The clinical data of four VHL patients who were clinically diagnosed from March1999 to October 2006 were reviewed.The first patient was a 56 year old man with the chief complaintof hypodynamia and low serum glucose as 2.37 mmol/L.CT scan showed three masses in the the leftkidney.He had a history of cerebral haemangioblastoma ten years before.The second case was a 57 year old woman with the chief complaint of lumbago in the left side.CT scan showed masses in theleft kidney,adrenal gland and panerease.The third case was a 39 year old woman with the chief com plaint of an accident mass in the left adrenal gland.She had the history of cerebellar hemangioblastoma9 years before,spinal hemangioblastoma resection 7 years before.The fourth case was a 41-year oldwoman,she was found brain tumors and cured by gamma radiation abalation.Bilateral renal masseswere found by B ultrasound one month later,CT scan showed four masses in the both kidneys,leftadrenal gland and pancreas.Results All 4 cases underwent surgical approach.The first case under went radical nephrectomy which pathological report was PEComa of kidney.The blood glucose wasnormal one week later.The second case underwent resection of the left adrenal gland,kidney,pancre atic body and tail and spleen.Pathological report was clear cell carcinoma,islet cell tumor and adrenal cyst.Three months later she was found spinal hemangioblastoma and refused treatment.The thirdcase underwent adrenalectomy in the left side and pathologieal report was adrenal pheoehromocytoma.There was not tumor reeurrenee during 2 years' follow up.The nephrectomy and adrenalectomy wasperformed for the last ease whose pathological report was clear celt carcinoma and pheochromoeytoma.Three weeks later,tumor enueleating of the right kidney was undertaken; the result was clear cellcancer.During the follow up for one year there was no relapse of tumor.Conclusions For VHL ac companied with multiple organ tumors,surgery resection is the proper approaeh when tumors of centralnervous system is large.Different approaches could be taken to deal with multiple tumors of VHL such aswatchful waiting,nephron sparing surgery.

Objective To study the effects of salt and cooking oil intervention among hypertensive patients on knowledge-attitude-practice. Method Three thousand hypertensive patients from 20 community health service centers in Shenzhen were chosen by multi-stage cluster random sampling method. Salt measuring spoons and scaled oil pots were provided during six-month health intervention. Before and after the six-months health intervention, 2 976 and 2 864 valid questionnaires were collected respectively. After intervention, 40 families were randomly selected to perform an investigation of cooking oil and salt weighing during 3 d 24 h. Result Before the intervention, the rates of awareness on the intake of salt and cooking oil were 29.94% and 16.23% respectively. After intervention, the rates increased to 88.58% (P<0.000 1) and 84.29%(P<0.000 1) respectively. The rates of restriction on the intake of salt and cooking oil were 62.97% and 59.07%, respectively, after the intervention, the rates were 97.14% and 96.79% (P<0.000 1), respectively. By using the salt measuring spoons and scaled oil pots, the intake of cooking oil and salt reached the recommended amount in Chinese dietary guideline. Conclusion The implementation of health education combined with appropriate tools could promote the knowledge and behavior of the salt and cooking oil consumption.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic features of epithelioid angiomyolipoma of renal(REAML). Methods Six cases of REAML were analyzed by histopathological and clinical characteristics.Of the 6 cases,4 cases were solitary tumors and 2 cases were multiple lesions.The diameter of tumors was about 9 cm in average.One case had a family history of nodular sclerosis.Three cases were found adipose tissue in CT scan and diagnosed for RAML,the other 3 cases were diagnosed for renal cancer.All cases were undergone surgical approach,3 cases were undergone resection of tumors only and the other 3 were performed nephrectomy. Results Pathological characters:tumor was mainly composed of epithelioid cells presented with invasive hyperplasia of atypical pleomorphism,hyperchromatic nuclei with frequent mitotic figures,giant neoplasic cells and extensive hemorrhagic necrosis immunohistochemcial staining showing a positive HMB45 and negative of EMA,CK in most neoplasic cells.All cases were followed up for 10 to 44 months,5 cases did not recurrence and metastases;the other had lung metastasis after operation 18 months later,without any treatment the patient died 10 months later. Conclusions Most of REAMLs are benign and often misdiagnosed for renal cancer by CT scan.HMB45 is positive in immunohistochemcial staining available for diagnose.The minority of REMAL is malignant potentially and should be followed up closely.Operation is major method.

Objective To understand how serum DHEAS levels change with sex,age and stage of sexual maturation in children and adolescents and explore the relationship between adrenarche and pubertal maturatiotL Methods Serum samples from 120 healthy boys,198 healthy girls and 152 girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) were examined for DHEAS.Referenee ranges for healthy children and adolescents and statistical difierences between heahhy girls and ICPP girls were analyzed with respect to sex,age and stage of sexual maturation.Results Both healthy children and ICPP girls showed extremely low levels of serum DHEAS and they were not related to sex.age or tanner stages in the individuals below age of 6 years.Serum DHEAS levels were positively related to both age (above age of 6 years)and tanner stage in healthy groups(r=0.69 and 0.71 respectively,P＜0.01).After the onset of puberty,serum DHEAS levels appeared to be higher in boys than that in girls within the same tanner stage(P＜0.05).Within the individusis in the same age group with same sex.serum DHEAS levels increased along with pubertal development.While within the individuals in same tanner stage group with salne sex after puberty onset.serum DHEAS levels showed no significant difference among different age groups.For example.there was no difference in serum DHEAS levels of healthy girls in tanner stage Ⅲ among different age subgroups(age of8-9;age of 10-11,age of 12-13)and the mean vallie of serum DHEAS was 532.0-557.8μg/L(F=0.21,P=0.98).In different age subgroups above age of 6 years,Z scores for serum DHEAS in ICPP girls were highher than them healthy ones with advanced tanner stages(0.97us-0.1 and 1.39us-0.08,JP≤0.01)In different tanner stage subgroups.Z scores for serum DHEAS showed no difierence between healthy and ICPP girls despite apparent different age ranges(0.00 us-0.31-0.18,P＞0.05).Conclusions Serum DHEAS level increased along with both age (above 6 years) and tanner stage in healthy children and adolescents.There was no gender difference until the onset of puberty.It was demonstrated that adrenache and gonadarche were related to each other.Reference ranges for adolescents should be interpreted according to sex.age and tanner stage simultaneously.

Objective To investigate the effects of early tracheotomy on the prognosis of patients with severe brain lesions .Methods The clinical data of 68 patients with severe brain lesions were retrospectively analyzed . According to the time of tracheotomy ,we assigned 68 patients to receive either early tracheotomy or late tracheotomy . 34 patients who were given tracheotomy within 72 hours in Intensive Care Unit were selected as the early tracheotomy group (ET group).34 patients who were given tracheotomy after 14 days in Intensive Care Unit were selected as the late tracheotomy group(LT group).The time of mechanical ventilation,length of hospital stay,and the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia ( VAP ) , sedative drug use time , antibiotic use time , in-hospital mortality were compared between the two groups.Results In ET group,the hospitalization time,mechanical ventilation time, incidence of VAP,sedative drug use time,antibiotic use time were (4.2 ±2.4)d,(3.5 ±0.6)d,(14.5 ±3.2)%, (1.5 ±0.5)d,(3.3 ±0.3)d,those in LT group were (12.5 ±4.8)d,(8.5 ±5.6)d,(28.6 ±8.6)%,(6.3 ±1.2)d, (13.2 ±1.1) d respectively,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t =3.14,2.96, 3.28,3.46,2.57,all P<0.05).The hospitalization mortality rates of ET group ,LT group were (23.8 ±4.38)%, (24.5 ±4.16)%,respectively no significant difference between the two groups ( t=1.49,P<0.05).Conclusion The use of early tracheotomy can reduce the hospitalization time ,shorten the time of mechanical ventilation ,reduce the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia ,and reduce the time of using sedative drugs and antibiotics ,but the mor-tality has no significant effect in the severe craniocerebral injury patients .

Background Hainan Island is a tropical and subtropical area in China,with a suitable climate for fungal growth and breeding.Keratomycosis occurred frequently in this area.It is essential to analyze the causative genus and investigate the sensitive drugs prior to the clinical treatment of fungal keratitis.Objective This study attempted to analyze the fungal population of fungal corneal ulcer patients in Hainan Island of China and examine the susceptibility of antifungal drugs.Methods A series cases observational study was carried out.One hundred and seventy-four eyes of 174 fungal corneal ulcer patients were enrolled in Hainan Eye Hospital from February 2014 to May 2016 based on the diagnosis criteria in Ophthalmology.The specimens at corneal lesions were collected under the aseptic conditions,and fungus was examined by KOH based smear.Mycological culture was performed with potatodextrose agar and Sabourand's agar.The 82 cultured causative strains were identified to characterize the spectrum of the species associated with keratitis infections in Hainan Province.Susceptibilities of these causative strains to ten antifungals were determined in vitro by slip diffusion method.Results By smear microscopy,fungal hyphae and spores were found in 34 specimens of 126 patients,with the positive rate 27.0％.In 174 specimens of fungal culture,82 strains of fungi were found,with the positive rate 47.1％,and typing results revealed that the isolates were distributed among species in the fusarium (47.5％),non-spore fungus (12.2％),aspergillus (9.8％) and phoma (9.8％).Nystatin was proved to be the most effective drug to 77 strains of antifungal drug susceptibility,followed by amphotericin B and terbinafine,with the susceptibility of 88.3 ％,72.7 ％,and 71.4％,respectively.Conclusions Fusarium species,non-spore fungus,aspergillus,and phoma are common pathogenic fungi of keratomycosis around Hainan Island in China,and nystatin,amphotericin B and terbinafine are efficient in the treatment of the fungal corneal ulcer.
