Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of 90Sr-90Y applicator combined with propranolol (inderal) treatment for infants with large areas of cutaneous hemangiomas.Methods Thirty-nine infants with large areas of cutaneous hemangiomas were randomly divided into two groups:study group (n =18) treated with 90Sr-90Y applicator in conjunction with propranolol,and control group (n =21) treated by 90Sr-90Y applicator only.The results of curative effects between the two groups were analyzed using rank sum test and x2 test.Results The cure rate,remission rate and effective rate for the study group were 44.4%(8/18),55.6 % (10/18) and 100.0% (18/18),respectively,and the corresponding rates for the control group were 14.3% (3/21),52.4% (11/21) and 66.7% (14/21),respectively.The effective rate in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (Z =-2.861,P < 0.05).The adverse reaction rates in the study and control groups were 66.7% (12/18) and 19.0% (4/21 ;x2 =9.084,P <0.05),respectively.Conclusion Combined propranolol with 90Sr-90Y treatment for large infantile hemangiomas is clinically effective,but its side effects should be closely monitored.

We investigated the current situation about free-ranging dogs infection with plague and provided relevant data for plague prevention and control in Karamay City.We examined the dog serum F1 antibody by indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA).Results showed that the F1 antibody was found in 1 of 13 dogs serum samples,and the positive rate was 7.69%.The free-ranging dogs plays an important role in controlling animal plague epidemic,and there are potential risk for local people's infection of plague.

Objective This research is aimed to investigate the efficacy and toxicity of icotinib for lung adenocarcinoma pa-tients with poor performance status and unknown EGFR gene status .Methods A total of 27 lung adenocarcinom patients with poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-Performance status(ECOG-PS) and unknown EGFR gene status referred to Chongqing Canc-er Institute from August 2012 to August 2014 were analyzed .Icotinib (125 mg) was orally administered three times per day .Asess the efficacy and adverse reaction ,calculate survival rates .Results Among the 27 patients ,the objective response rate(ORR) and disease control rates(DCR) were 29 .6% and 81 .5% ,respectively .The median progression free survival time was 6 .0 months .A to-tal of 70 .4% of patients had an significant improvment in ECOG-PS scores ,following icotinib treatment (Z= - 2 .157 ,P= 0 .031) . Fatigue ,anorexia and diarrhea were the most frequent adverse reaction ,which defined as grade 1 to 2 rashes .Conclusion Lung ade-nocarcinoma patients with poor performance status and unknown EGFR gene status may benefit from icotinib therapy ,and patients were tolerated well .
