Objective:To investigate the relationship between problem behaviorand father-child relationship in 4-6-year-oldchildren. Methods:Totally 102 children were recruited in a kindergarten in Beijing,with 36 aged four,36 aged five,30 aged six and 55 being boys and 47 being girls. Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)was used to measure preschoolers'problem behaviors,and Family Relations Index (FRI)was adopted to assess children's rela-tionship with their fathers. Results:There were 41,49,and 12 children being classified as negative,neutral and posi-tive father-child relation respectively. Kruskal-Wallis Test revealed that there was no significant difference in scores of 3 CBCL subtests and 8 factors (P>0. 05 )among 4-,5-,and 6-year-old children. Children with negative father-child relationship scored higher on CBCL problem behavior subtests than those with neutral father-child relationship[30. 5 (7. 0,58. 0)vs. 16. 0 (0. 0,69. 0),P<0. 05 ]. They alsoscored higher on withdrawn behavior than children with neutralor positive father-child relationship [3. 0 (0. 0,4. 0)vs. 1. 0 (0. 0,6. 0),1. 0 (0. 0,4. 0),P<0. 05] . Mann-Whitney U Test manifested that boys scored higher in attention problem than girls (P<0. 0 1 ),but no gen-der difference was found in the other problem behaviors. Kruskal-Wallis Test showed that boys with negative father-child relationship scored higher than those with neutral father-child relationship on problem behavior subtest,anxie-ty-depression,attention problem,and internalized problem (Ps<0. 05 ). Boys with negative father-child relationship scored higher than those with neutraland positivefather-child relationship on withdrawn behavior (Ps <0. 05 ). No difference was found whether in CBCL subtests or problem behavior factors for girls with different types of father-child relationship. Conclusion:It suggests that the children with negative father-child relationship display more problem behavior and withdrawn symptoms;boys have more attention problems than girls;compared with girls, boys'problem behavior may be more closely related to therelationship with their father.

Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor.It is of great importance to improve the effectiveness of treatment by studying the mechanisms which lead to invasion and metastasis in pancreatic cancer.In some malignant tumors,tumor associated macrophage (TAM) plays an important role in tumor progression and invasion.TAM also plays an important role in pancreatic cancer which consists mainly of stromal elements.Research into the mechanisms for occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer,the role played by TAM as well as TAM transformation between the different phenotypes may bring a breakthrough in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinical characters of pancreatitis in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).Methods The clinical data of patients with PHPT undergoing parathyroidectomy from Jan.2009 to May.2014 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were retrospectively analyzed for coexistent pancreatitis.Results 571 patients received parathyroidectomy due to PHPT during this period.Thirteen patients (2.3％)with PHPT were confirmed with coexistent pancreatitis by clinical manifestation and abdominal imaging evaluation,including acute pancreatitis in 9 patients and chronic pancreatitis in 4 patients.PHPT with pancreatitis was associated with preoperative serum intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH)higher than 500 pg/ml (P=0.025)and occurrence of hypercalcemic crisis (P=0.013).The age and sex of patients,preoperative serum calcium,gallstones,urinary calculi and bone fracture were not related with pancreatitis in this group.The average follow-up period for these patients was 34(ranging from 13 to 68)months.All patients were free from hyperparathyroidism recurrence.Only one young lady with chronic pancreatitis suffered from repeated pancreatitis after surgery.Conclusions Serum iPTH higher than 500 pg/ml and occurrence of hypercalcemic crisis were possible risk factor of pancreatitis in patients with PHPT.Parathyroidectomy can help to prevent the recurrence of pancreatitis in these patients.

Objective To investigate the treatment for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) located in the isthmus.Methods 90 patients with PTC located in the isthmus receiving surgery from May 2007 to Dec.2013 were enrolled.Patients' age,muhifocality,capsular invasion,central compartment lymph node metastasis were analyzed and compared with the results of 82 patients who had PTC within the thyroid lobe.Results In patients with PTC located in the isthmus,those with multi foci were older((49.4 ± 9.9)years,P =0.004).Patients with capsular invasion had larger tumor((1.02 ± 0.43) cm,P =0.001).Compared with PTC within the lobe,PTC located in isthmus were more likely to be multifocal (27.8％ vs 14.6％,P =0.036)and capsular invasive(42.2％ vs.19.5％,P =0.001).Central compartment lymph nodes metastasis rate was higher in patients with PTC located in isthmus but no statistical difference was found(53.3％ vs 48.8％,P =0.551).Conclusions PTC located in the isthmus tends to be more aggressive at early stage.Central compartment lymph node metastasis occursearly and can be on both sides.Most patients should receive total thyroidectomy and central compartment lymph node dissection of both sides,but there's no need to dissect lymph node beneath the recurrent laryngeal nerve on the contralateral central compartment.

Objective To summarize our experiences in the diagnosis and prognosis of different subtypes of primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL). Methods The clinical data of 27 PTL patients who were treated in our hospital from January 1998 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The pathological types of these patients included B cell lymphoma unclassifiable (BCLU) (n=5),mucosa-associated lymphiod tissue lymphoma (MALT) (n=9),diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (n=12),and T cell lymphoma (n=1). Results Of all these 27 cases,the most common clinical symptom was painless swelling of the neck (n=21,77.8%). Of 7 patients who had received preoperative fine needle biopsy,lymphoma was suspected in 2 cases (28.6%). Among these 7 cases,the positive rate of suspicious lymphoma was 66.7% in 3 DLBCL patients,0 in 3 MALT patients,and 0 in 1 BCLU paitent. Also,25 patients underwent intraoperative frozen pathological examination,which revealed lymphoma or suspicious lymphoma in 16 cases (64.0%); in these patients,the positive rate was 66.7% for BCLU,77.8% for MALT,58.3% for DLBCL,and 0 for T-cell lymphomas. The overall survival was (89.3±12.4) months,and the overall 5-year survival rate was 61.6%. The estimated survival in symptomatic group was 31.6 months,which was significantly shorter than that in asymptomatic group (97.9 months) (P=0.032). Other factors including age,sex,tumor size,tumor stage,international prognostic index,tracheal compression,lactate dehydrogenase,residual tumor,and pathological type showed no significant effect on survival(all P>0.05). Conclusions DLBCL has the highest fine needle biopsy positive rate,MALT has the highest frozen pathological positive rate,and intraoperative frozen pathology has more malignant results than the preoperative fine needle biopsy in the diagnosis. The accompanying lymphoma symptoms may be an adverse prognostic factor.

AIM:To investigate the effect of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 ( STAT 1 ) on proliferation and interferon-β(IFN-β) sensitivity of human non-small-cell lung cancer H1299 cells.METHODS:STAT1 or EGFP gene was transfected into H1299 cells by the lentiviral vectors system.The cell number was counted under a mi-croscope and cell proliferation was tested by MTT assay.In addition, the cells transfected with STAT1 and EGFP were trea-ted with IFN-βand cell viability was measured by MTT assay.The protein levels of p-STAT1, ICAM-1 and PCNA were de-tected by Western blot.RESULTS: Over-expression of STAT1 inhibited H1299 cell proliferation (P<0.05).H1299 cells transfected with STAT1 gene had a higher sensitivity to IFN-βthan the control cells transfected with EGFP ( P <0.05).Overexpression of STAT1 increased the protein level of p-STAT1, and reduced IACM-1 expression in H1299 cells. Moreover, STAT1 enhanced STAT1 phosphorylation and downregulated the expression of PCNA in H1299 cells treated with IFN-β.CONCLUSION:STAT1 inhibits the proliferation and enhances the IFN-βsensitivity of non-small-cell lung cancer H1299 cells.

Objective To explore the expression of miR-221/222 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its correlation with clinical pathological parameters. Methods The clinical pathological data and formalin fixed-paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues of 55 NSCLC patients and 10 benign lesion patients who underwent surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanhua University from February 2012 to May 2014 were collected and followed. The relationship between miR-221/222 expression detected by real-time PCR and clinical pathological parameters and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed. The differential survival between the high expression group and the low expression group of miR-221/222 were compared. A Cox proportional hazard regression model was utilized to examine the prognostic factors of NSCLC. Results The expression level of miR-221/222 was significantly higher in tumor tissues than that in corresponding benign lesion tissues (Fold change=3.52, P=0.000;Fold change=2.01, P=0.000). There was a negative correlation between miR-221/222 expression and pathological grades (r=-0.732, P=0.000;r=-0.451, P=0.001). The relative expression of miR-221 showed a positive correlation with miR-222 (r=0.376, P=0.000). Patients with higher levels of miR-221/222 were closely associated with a shorter PFS (miR-221: 55.43 weeks vs. 81.29 weeks, P=0.028; miR-222: 45.00 weeks vs. 87.04 weeks, P=0.008). Finally, multivariate analysis demonstrated that miR-222 expression was independently associated with poor PFS (RR=2.808, P=0.033). Conclusions miR-221/222 is highly expressed in NSCLC tumor tissues with a positive correlation. A negative correlation is observed between the expression of miR-221/222 and tumor differentiation. The potential high expression of miR-221/222 is considered as tumor biomarkers for the prognosis of NSCLC patients.

In addition, the accuracy and recovery were around 85%-115%and 50%-70%. The RSD of intra and inter day precision were lower than 15%. Conclusion The method is specific, rapid and sensitive. Therefore, it can be applied to pharmacokinetic study of eight effective compounds in Fufang Xueshuantong Capsule.

Objective: To investigate the incidence of renal insufficiency in solitary kidney patients and analyze the risk factors. Methods: Patients with solitary kidney who were admitted to the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2012 to January 2019 were retrospectively selected as subjects. According to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) level, the patients were divided into two groups: eGFR<60 ml·min^-1·(1.73 m²)^-1 group and eGFR≥60 ml·min^-1·(1.73 m²)^-1 group. The data of the general information, laboratory examinations and kidney size were collected, and the differences of the above indicators between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the related factors of renal function decline. Results: (1) A total of 323 solitary kidney patients with age of (53.8±15.8) years and median duration of 10.0 years were enrolled in the study, including 203 males (62.8%). There were 150 cases (46.4%) with hypertension, 136 cases(42.1%) with proteinuria, and 134 cases (41.5%) with renal insufficiency, even 29 cases(9.0%) had developed into end-stage renal disease. (2) Compared with those in eGFR≥60 ml·min^-1·(1.73 m²)^-1group, patients in eGFR<60 ml·min^-1·(1.73 m²)^-1 group had higher age, mean arterial pressure, serum creatinine, serum uric acid, fasting blood glucose, and higher proportion of hypertension and proteinuria, but had lower proportion of congenital solitary kidney, hemoglobin, plasma albumin and residual kidney diameter. The differences of above indicators were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (3) Logistic regression analysis showed that increasing age (every ten years, OR=1.752, 95% CI 1.455-2.109, P<0.001), anemia (OR=2.327, 95% CI 1.356-3.994, P=0.002), hyperuricemia (OR=5.097, 95% CI 2.873-9.042, P<0.001) and high urine protein level (every 1+, OR=1.515, 95% CI 1.197-1.919, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for renal dysfunction in solitary kidney patients. Conclusions The incidence of renal insufficiency in solitary kidney patients is 41.5%. Patients with solitary kidney may perform varying degrees of kidney damage, such as hypertension, proteinuria and eGFR decline. Increasing age, anemia, hyperuricemia and high urine protein level are independent risk factors for renal insufficiency in solitary kidney patients.
