The morbidity of young non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)increases in the recent years.Young group patients should be defined as age under 40 years old.The risk factors of etiology in the young NSCLC may be related with smoking,genetic predisposition,Internal and external environment factors havoc and etc.There is no specific symptoms of young NSCLC,therefor,it happens misdiagnosis and harder to be confirmed.The morbidity in young female group of NSCLC patients is higher than aged patients.The most frequent histopathologic type is adenocarcinoma and the ratio of advanced stages with low differentiation has been found to be more common.The chances of surgery seems lower than others.EGFR gene mutation percentage in the young NSCLC maybe lower than that in the old patients,while the positive mutation of MEL4-ALK gene maybe more prevalent in the young patients.The prognosis of young NSCLC seems to be poor with lower tumor progression time of the first line therapy.Better prognosis of young NSCLC patients maybe achieved by early diagnosis and efficient therapy according to the accurate genotypes.

Objective To investigate the protein and mRNA expression of NF-κB and zinc finger protein A20 in the keloid and normal skin and to explore its underlying molecular biological mechanism.Methods The protein and mRNA expression of NF-κB p65 and zinc finger protein A20 in keloid and normal skin was detected by immunohistochemistry and real time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results The protein and mRNA expression of NF-κB p65 in keloid tissues was higher than those in normal skin tissues (P＜0.05).The protein and mRNA expression of zinc finger protein A20 in keloid tissues was lower than those in normal skin tissues (P＜0.05).Conclusions NF-κB signal pathways and zinc finger protein A20 could play a role in keloid pathogenesis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of magnetic attachments in complete overdenture. Methods Casting method was used to fabricate Coping-Keepers for remained roots, and the patients were followed up for 6 months to check the effects of the overdentures retained with Magfit EX attachments. In the experimental group, 21 complete overdentures were made with 33 Magfit EX magnetic attachments for 18 patients. Eleven patients treated with traditional complete overdentures were selected to act as control. The retention force, aspect and comfortableness were subjectively evaluated by the patients of the both groups. Abutment status was observed and compared before and after cementation of the magnetic attachments by measuring periodontal index, including gingival index (GI), sulcus bleeding index (SBI) and bleeding on probing (BOP), etc. Masticatory function of patients in the both groups was measured at 3 time points: immediate, 3 months and 6 months after cementation. Results Patients in experimental group were more satisfied with complete overdentures made up of magnetic attachments than those in control group, especially in retention force and masticatory efficiency and aspect. Magnetic attachments can provide enough retention force for patients and greatly improved the masticatory efficiency and the abutment condition. The masticatory function was to be perfect and stable after 3-6 months. Furthermore, the mobility and periodontal index of most abutments improved after 6 months. Conclusion It is proved that magnetic attachments are effective to improve the function of complete overdentures, worthy to be used widely. It is suggested that the residual root and loosened tooth should be preserved furthest as possible in clinic.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effective quality management in the pharmacy intravenous admixture services(PIVAS) adapting to the needs of modern hospital quality management.METHODS The PIVAS was run under the hospital administration by the methods of objective monitoring and grade-based administration.RESULTS The high risk factors of nosocomial infection were revented,which guaranteed the safety of transfusion to the inpatients and protection for the preparing workers,thus nosocomial infection was decreased effectively.CONCLUSIONS A series of practical management system and processes are builtup to promote the management of hospital infection and to guarantee the quality of medical service.

Objective To investigate the association between thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) and miscarriage.Methods A systematic review of both case-control and cohort studies on the association between TAI and miscarriage published before March 2009 was performed.All the literatures were abstracted based on the defined selection criteria by two independent investigators.Publication bias was tested by funnel plot.The odd ratios of case-control studies and relative risks of cohort studies were pooled respectively,depending on the result of heterogeneity test among the individual studies.The software Review Manager (version 4.3.1) was used for meta analysis.Results Electronic search yielded 23 articles,4 of which were reviews and were excluded.The remaining 19 clinical studies met the selection criteria,of which 7 were case-control studies and 12 cohort studies.A clear association between the presence of thyroid autoantibodies (TA) and miscarriage was found with a pooled odds ratio of 2.72 (95% CI 1.27-5.80,P = 0.01) in 7 case-control studies,and a pooled relative risk of 2.41 (95% CI 1.96-2.96,P＜0.01) in 12 cohort studies.Women with TA were found to have slightly older age (age difference,1.29 years,95% CI 0.43-2.16,P = 0.003) and raised TSH levels (TSH difference,0.61 mIU/L,95% CI 0.51-0.71,P＜0.01) compared with those without TA.Conclusion TAI is significantly associated with miscarriage,which can be interpreted as the direct involvement of TA.Alternatively,the association can be partially explained by the slightly older age in women with TA compared with those without.A third possibility is mild thyroid failure,as TSH levels in TA-positive but euthyroid women are higher than in TA-negative women.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) negatively mediate the post transcriptional target genes by degrading mRNAs and inhibiting translation of protein.Deregulation of miRNAs are directly or indirectly correlated with tumorigenesis and development of cancer.Currently,the application of miRNAs as a non-invasive potential biomarker with high stability is under investigation.
