Objective Evaluation of imatinib mesylate treatment of unresectable/marginally resectable gastric and duodenal stromal tumors,as well as its side effect and the toxicity.Methods Oral imatinib mesylate was prescribed at the dose of 400 mg/d for 12 cases of patients with unresectable/marginally resectable gastric and duodenal stromal tumors.The evaluation of the adverse reactions was in accordance with United States NCI-CTC grading standards (3rd edition).Choi standard was used to evaluate the patients at 3 and 6 month time points.Results For hematological toxicity,only 1 case of patient with Ⅲ° decreased white blood cell count,and the rest patients were with Ⅰ° to Ⅱ ° degree.For nou-hematological toxicity,the author observed cardiac toxicity,liver function damage,renal function damage,diarrhea,abdominal pain,nausea/vomiting,fatigue,anorexia,muscle pain,rash,hair loss,skin and mucosa edema.Among them,there was only 1 patient with Ⅲ° skin rash,and 1 patient with Ⅲ° edema,all the rest were with Ⅰ° to Ⅱ °.Eight and 11 cases of patients were evaluated as partial remission (PR) after 3 and 9 months of treatment respectively.Among them,nine patients were given R0 resection and 2 patients denied surgery due to old ages.One patient was stable (SD).Conclusions Preoperative treatment of patients with unresectable/marginally resectable gastrointestinal stromal tumors by imatinib mesylate will increase the resection rate.The related toxicity can be well-tolerated.

Objective:To investigate the protection of acupuncture on damaged myelin sheath from the poinr of view of neurological functional recovery and morphological changes of the myelin sheath.Methods:Eighty-nine adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated to normal (n=5),sham-operation (n=21),model (n=21),early acupuncture (n=21) and late acupancture (n=21) groups.A model of middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced by the intraluminal filament method.Acupuncture was performed at different time points after ischemia.Neurological function and morphological changes of the myelin sheath of ischemic focus were observed by using the methods of neurological deficit scores and Pal-Weigert's myelin staining.Results:Neurological deficit scores at 2.5 hours after the procedure in the model group increased significantly (P＜0.05).qhe scores decreased somewhat as the time elapsed.The internal capsule had obvious demyelination and recovered slowly.Neurological deficit scores in rats at each time point decreased faster in the acupuncture group compared with the model group,and they decreased significantly at day 3 (P＜0.05);the extent of demyelination was significantly alleviated.Neurological deficit scores decreased faster in the early acupuncture group compared with the late acupuncture group (P＜0.05);and demyelination in the early acupuncture group seemed milder at day one.Conclusions:Early acupuncture is beneficial to remyelination and neurological functional recovery after cerebral ischemia.

AIM: To observe the efficacy and compliance of cetirizine hydrochloride and pranoprofen eye drops on children with vernal keratoconjunctivitis.
● METHODS: A total of 63 children with vernal keratoconjunctivitis, from the outpatient department in our hospital between Jan. 2014 and Dec. 2015, were randomly divided into two groups including experimental group and control group. The cases in experimental group were treated with cetirizine hydrochloride, 2 times/d, 5 drops (0. 25ml, 2. 5mg) each time (≤6 years) or 10 drops (0. 5ml, 5mg) each time (>6 years), oral or oral with beverage and food, 1g/L pranoprofen eye drops, 4 times/d, 1 drop each time. The cases in control group were only treated with cetirizine hydrochloride, 2 times /d, 5 drops (0. 25ml, 2. 5mg) each time (≤6 years) or 10 drops (0. 5ml, 5mg) each time (>6 years), oral or oral with beverage and food for 14d. All the children were detected the scores of symptom and pathology before and after treatment. Compliance and side effect of the drug were surveyed by questionnaire.
● RESULTS: The scores of symptom, pathology and overall total after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment in each group ( texperimental, symptom =10. 41, P < 0. 05; texperimental, pathology = 10. 05, P < 0. 05;texperimental, overal =10. 75, P<0. 05;tcontrol, symptom=8. 11, P<0. 05;tcontrol, pathology=8. 89, P<0. 05; tcontrol, overal =8. 41, P<0. 05). The scores of symptom, pathology and overall total in experimental group were lower than those in control group after the treatment (tsymptom=5. 27, P<0. 05; tpathology=3. 97, P<0. 05;toveral =4. 32, P<0. 05). The effective rate of experimental group ( 85%) was significantly higher than control group (60%) (χ2 =4. 92, P<0. 05). Most of the children ( 94%) had very good compliance. None of children had side effect such as sleepiness and thirst.
● CONCLUSION: Cetirizine hydrochloride and pranoprofen eye drops in combination may offer a safety and effective treatment on children with vernal keratoconjunctivitis and have good compliance.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the location of anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACL) and the areas of bone bruises in patients with an acute ACL injury.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on MRI of patients with ACL injuries from January to June 2019. According to the location of the ACL rupture on the distal to proximal length, the patients were divided into 5 groups, namely Type I, >90%; Type II, 75%-90%; Type III, 25%-75%; Type IV, 10%-25%, Type V, <10%. Gender, weight, body mass index, depth of lateral femoral condyle notch, and medial meniscus injury were compared among the five groups. The sagittal plane images of ePDWSPIRCLEAR sequence were selected to define the layer with the largest contusion areas of femur and tibia respectively. The maximum bone contusion areas of these two layers was measured using Image J 1.52t software.Results:Among the 63 cases of acute ACL injury, three cases (4.8%) were with type I tear, 14 cases (22.2%) with type II tear, 40 cases (63.5%) with type III tear, 2 cases (3.2%) with type IV tear, and 4 cases (6.3%) with Type V tear. There was no contusion of lateral femoral condyle or lateral tibial plateau bone in type I and type IV. The lateral femoral condyle bone contusion areas was 0 (0, 64.12) mm 2 in type II, 182.34 (86.58, 334.38) mm 2 in Type III, 38.64(0, 193.36) mm 2 in Type V with statistically significant difference ( H=21.665, P=0.000). The largest areas of bone contusion in the lateral tibial plateau was 76.78(28.25, 205.57) mm 2 in type II, 120.93(51.78, 239.37) mm 2 in Type III, 190.51(80.86, 238.75) mm 2 in Type V with statistically significant difference ( H=11.939, P=0.018). The maximum bone contused areas of the lateral tibial plateau in the medial meniscus injury group was 48.0(0, 105.97) mm 2, which was smaller than that in the non-injury group 185.67(54.36, 257.41) mm 2 ( H=8.848, P=0.003). The maximum bone contusion areas of the lateral femoral condyle in the injured group was 162.19(63.03, 301.33) mm 2, which was greater than 0(0, 103.37) mm 2 in the uninjured group ( H=11.554, P=0.001). Conclusion:ACL rupture often occurs in the middle segment. The middle segment ACL fracture combined with lateral meniscus injury had with the highest probability and with the largest area of bone contusion of lateral femoral condyle. The fracture of the ACL at the farthest terminal has the largest bone contusion areas of the lateral tibial plateau and with the lowest probability of combined injury of the medial meniscus.

Team training significantly affects the performance of clinicians in neonatal resuscitation, which plays an important role in improving outcomes of asphyxiated newborns. Since 2016, team training was formally described in the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, including 10 key points, which were summarized into three core elements in this review: teamwork, communication, and leadership. We review the application of these three elements in current team training and the main training approaches, aiming to offer a framework for standardized team training and to improve the success rate of neonatal resuscitation.

Exosome is a sort of vesicle structure attached to cell membrane and released by cells, which contains numerous bioactive molecules, such as proteins, lipids, mRNA, microRNA and DNA fragments. These bioactive molecules are involved in the regulation of many biological processes, not only the participation in the occurrence and development of diverse diseases, but also the close relationship with the invasion and metastasis of tumors. The recent study has indicated that lots of exosomes released from cancer cells participate in a variety of pathological processes as a messenger of cell functions. This article will elaborate the function and application of exosomes in some malignant cancers.

The differential diagnosis of inguinal and scrotal emergencies in children is difficult and misdiagnosis might be associated with danger or even mortality.Early diagnosis and proper treatment are very important and explorational surgery should be carried out when diagnosis is in doubt.

Medical students′ professional spirit cultivation is an important content as well as a basic require-ment of the Preeminent Doctor Education and Training Plan. Currently, there are several problems in medical tal-ents′professional spirit cultivation, such as the unstandardized curriculum, the lack of subjective experience, and the ignorance of the unity of education stages, student differences and coherence. This study intends to explore thedouble teacher method, in which both clinical teaching doctors and medical ethics teachers engage in the medi-cal students′professional spirit cultivation. Its purpose is to build a bridge between medical ethics education in uni-versities and the clinical practice, and further to integrate them through doctors′ and teachers′ joint participation, which will significantly enhance medical students′practice ability of medical moral.
