Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with XELOX (oxaliplatin+capecitabine) regimen combined with postoperative adjuvant concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy for stage III advanced gastric cancer. Methods:A total of 55 patients with stage III advanced gastric cancer from Shouguang People's Hospital, Zibo Central Hospital, and Shandong Qian-foshan Hospital of Shandong University were enrolled in this study. The patients were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group. In the treatment group, 28 patients were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy with XELOX regimen, underwent surgery, and then received postoperative adjuvant three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy synchronous XELOX regimen. In the con-trol group, 27 cases underwent surgery in advance, and received radiotherapy synchronous XELOX regimen. Results:The objective re-sponse rate of the treatment group was 75%. The tumor resection rate was 92.9%, which was significantly higher than that of the con-trol group at 81.5%(P=0.049). The tumor radical resection rates in the treatment and control groups were 71.4%and 44.4%, respec-tively, which are significantly different (P=0.043). The lymph node metastasis in the treatment group was 48.2%, which was significant-ly lower than that of the control group at 60.2%(P=0.006). In the treatment group, one case achieved pathologic complete tumor re-gression, 9 cases were of good tumor regression, and 7 cases were of moderate tumor regression. The 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year surviv-al rates of the treatment and control groups were 88.9%vs. 69.2%, 66.7%vs. 46.2%, and 59.3%vs. 38.5%, respectively, which are sig-nificantly different (P=0.037, P=0.045, and P=0.049). The results showed no significant difference of incidence of toxicity in the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with XELOX regimen combined with postoperative adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy for stage III advanced gastric cancer can improve the radical resection rate and long-term postoperative survival rate of patients, as well as reduce the rate of lymph node metastasis.

To illuminate the gene characteristics and clinical characterization of Coxsackievirus B5 (CV-B5) strains isolated from patients with sevre hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Qingdao city.
Methods:
A total of 1 844 patients of HFMD were consecutively admitted to Qingdao Women and Children's Hospital from 2013 to 2014. Information of the study population described above was collected retrospectively. The samples were collected from at least 1 site (throat swab, cerebrospinal fluid), which viral nucleic acid extracted and the entire VP1 gene sequences of CV-B5 isolates were amplified and sequenced, then the homology and phylogeny analysis were conducted by MEGA7.0. The prototype Faulkner strain and other VP1 amino acid sequences were derived from the GenBank database.
Results:
A total of 8 CV-B5 positive cases were obtained, including 4 males and 4 females; 6 severe hospitalized cases and 2 outpatients. The age of 6 hospitalized patients ranged from 3 to 48 months, with a median of 26 months. For the six inpatients, fever, convulsions vomiting, diarrhea and rash were the main clinical manifestation, and all combined with viral encephalitis. Compared with the prototype strain Faulkner, in the VP1 region,the nucleotide and the amino acid homologies was 77.3%-78.8% and 95.5%-97.0% respectively. Five out of the six severe cases with substitution of serine (S) to asparagine (N) at amino acid site 95 in the VP1 region. The sequences of 8 CV-B5 strains were classified into genogroup D.
Conclusion
Hand, foot and mouth disease associated with CV-B5 virus infection can result in nervous system involvement and the main complication was viral encephalitis. The CV-B5 strains associated with severe hand, foot and mouth disease had high nucleotide homology and present a certain regional aggregation.

The preliminary role of calcineurin B-like protein-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) in stress response is defined but the exact function of OsCIPK10 gene in rice stress response and its expression pattern yet unclear. In this study we explored the possible functions of OsCIPK10 gene by reverse genetics approaches and also revealed its expression pattern by GUS staining. From the preliminary study of this gene we presumed its function to assist plant to resist stress but over-expressed OsCIPK10 rice transgenic lines showed no significant phenotypic differences from the wild type either under high salt or low potassium conditions, however the gene knockdown plants using inverted repeat strategy presented meaningful healthy plants compared to wild type under the stress of salt. Further we checked the expression profile under high salt and low potassium conditions in wild type and found that OsCIPK10 decreases under high salt and increases on low potassium conditions. So we speculate that OsCIPK10 is actually going to function in response to high salt and low potassium stress. We also explored the expression pattern of this gene using Gus staining and found that gene expresses in all plant tissues, the only exception observed was its higher expression in the vascular tissues.
