Objective To investigate the expression of CRKL in thyroid papillary micro-carcinoma and its clinical significance.Methods 120 patients with thyroid tissue specimens were collected,in which 30 cases of diam-eter >1 cm of papillary thyroid carcinoma,30 cases of thyroid papillary micro-carcinoma,30 cases of nodular goiter, 30 cases for specimen of thyroid disease patients without diabetes.Immunohistochemical(SP)method was used to de-tect samples in CRKL expression.Results In thyroid papillary micro-carcinoma and thyroid papillary cancer group, CRKL expression positive rates were 30.12% and 29.87% respectively,which were higher than that of nodular goiter and normal thyroid group 30.03% and 28.57%(χ2 =52.102,P <0.05);The average absorbance(A)value in thy-roid papillary micro-carcinoma and thyroid papillary carcinoma group which were respectively (0.516 ±0.100)and (0.496 ±0.201),were higher than that in nodular goiter and normal thyroid group (0.246 ±0.050)and (0.117 ±0.015),the difference was statistically significant(F =149.105,P <0.05).Conclusion CRKL is highly expressed in papillary thyroid micro-carcinoma and the clinical detection of CRKL is helpful to determine the surgical plan for papillary thyroid micro-carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficacy and safety of only paroxetine vs. paroxetine combined with alprazolam in the treatment of diabetes complicated with anxiety and depression. METHODS:Totally 86 patients with diabetes complicated with anxi-ety and depression were randomly divided into observation group and control group. The patients in observation group were given paroxetine 20 mg,qd,and alprazolam 0.4 mg,tid;patients in control group were given paroxetine alone. The treatment course lasted for 8 weeks in 2 groups. The clinical data was compared,including fasting plasma glucose(FPG),2 h postprandial glucose (2 h PG),glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c),cortisol,adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels and scores of Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) and Hamilton depression scale (HAMD). The adverse reactions were observed. RESULTS:After treatment,FP-BG,2 h PG,HbA1c,cortisol,ACTH levels and scores of HAMA and HAMD in observation group were significantly lower than control group,with significant difference(P<0.05). There were significant differences in the incidence of adverse reactions be-tween 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Compared with paroxetine alone,paroxetine combined with alprazolam can improve more in blood glucose,endocrine levels and adverse mood symptoms in the treatment of diabetes complicated with anxiety and de-pression,with similar safety.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of tolterodine in preventing bladder spasm during the operation to BPH.Methods One hundred and twelve cases of BPH patients were randomized to two groups:56 cases in one group were prescribed tolterodine 4-5 d before operation and 3-4 d after operation (2 mg twice daily),another 56 cases did not take any anti-spasm drugs.The bladder spasm occurring or not,frequency and continuing time of bladder were evaluated and recorded.Results In the controlling group:the non bladder spasm in 12.5% (7/56),mild bladder spasm in 14.3% (8/56),severe bladder spasm in 73.3% (41/56),In the treatment group:non bladder spasm in 87.5% (49/ 56),mild bladder spasm in 8.9% (5/56),severe bladder spasm in 3.6% (2/56).There was signifi-cant difference between the 2 groups (P<0.001).Conclusion Tolterodine could alleviate bladder spasm around the operation to BPH.

Objective: To describe the prevalence of food allergy in Asian patients with allergic rhinitis. Study Design: A non-randomized prospectively collected patients over a three year period, with complaints of nose congestion, rhinorrhea and/or nasal discharge. Results: There were 435 patients enrolled, 213 children and 222 adults. The children group had a high prevalence of allergen specific IgE to Dermatophagoides pteryonysinus (70%), Dermatophagoides farina (69%), and Blomia tropicalis (55%); followed by dogs (32%), cats (19%) and cockroaches (19%). In the children food allergy category, the top three allergens were egg white (54%), milk (31%) and soya bean (13%). The adult group had results of Dermatophagoides pteryonysinus (71%), Dermatophagoides farina (72%), and Blomia tropicalis (59%); the adult food allergy category, the top 3 allergens were egg white (13%), milk (6%) and soya bean (5%). There was a statistically significant difference in the child and adult group for Dust, D. pteryonysinus, D. farina, B.tropicalis, egg white, wheat, gluten and soya bean. In the age specific child groups, there was an increased in egg food allergy levels, with a peak at the age of five-nine years old and decreasing thereafter (p=0.04). In the children group, the mean Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) was 10.3 (range of 7 to 13); the adult group was similar, with a mean TNSS of 9.8 (range 5 to 12). Conclusion: The prevalence of food allergy in paediatric patients with allergic rhinitis is fairly high and should be considered when treating these children.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common activity limitition of children, their movement and posture impairments persist throughout whole life.In recent years, CP has been significantly increasing with the improved survival rate of newborns.This may lead to a great burden and costs to both the family and the society.A variety of risk factors have been proposed to be associated with CP.However, recent abroad researches indicate that genetic factors may predispose to CP of newborns and initial results of related researches infer that several susceptibility genes may contribute to CP's development, masqueraders have a great impact on CP's clinical symptoms.Now, the recent publications related to virulence genes and masqueraders of CP are reviewed.
