Objective To investigate post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and life quality (QOL) of children and adolescents with cancer,and analyze the correlation between PTSD and QOL and study whether PTSD would influence QOL.Methods We investigated PTSD by using the PTSD-SS,and investigated QOL by using the EORTC QLQ-C30 V3,and the data was performed by SPSS 17.0.Results The PTSD-SS total score and the scores of EORTC QLQ-C30 of function field and of whole life quality field were negatively correlated,and the PTSD-SS total score and the scores in symptom field and six single measurement of EORTC QLQ-C30 were positively correlated.Conclusions PTSD of children and adolescents with cancer was closely related with the poor functional status and the high level of symptoms problem.PTSD has affected QOL.The higher level the PTSD is,the lower level of QOL will be.

Objective To explore the mechanism of immunologic injury in patients with Tourette's syndrome(TS). Methods The serum level of anti-brain antibody ( ABAb) , antinuclear antibody ( ANAb) , soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) and soluble gpl30(sgp130) in patients with TS were analyzed by commercially available ELISA kits,and the titer of anti-streptolysin O ( ASO) in TS and in control was examined with latex enhanced immunoturbidimetry. Results The level of sIL-6R and sgpl30 was significantly elevated in TS compared with control group [(44. 1 ± 15.8)ng/mL vs (30. 3 ± 9. 0) ng/mL and (69. 0 ±24. 6)ng/mL vs (47. 3 ±14. l)ng/mL,P <0. 01 respectively]. ASO titer(250 U/mL) was found higher in TS than that in control(P <0. 01). The positive rates of anti-brain an-tibody and antinuclear antibody in TS were higher than that in control group (66% vs 4% and 53% vs 25% , P <0. 01 respectively). The level of ABAb negatively correlated with sgpl30 concentration( r = 0. 375, P <0. 05 ). Conclusion IL-6 signal transduction might be involved in Tourette's syndrome to lead the function enhancementand start cascade of feedback inhibition, because of elevated levels of slL-6R, sgp130, ANAb and ABAb in serum.Autoimmune-related injuries may potentially explain the pathogenesis of the disease.

METHODS: By introducing the overview of adopting elicitation teaching in the pharmaceutical standard training in Beijing,the training effect was summarized and role and significance were studied. RESULTS:Supervisors applied five teaching modules in the elicitation teaching in the pharmaceu-tical standard training which are concluded“pharmaceutical education and rational use of medicine”“comments of prescription and rational use of medicine”“prescription transfers and rational use of medicine”“medicine counseling and rational use of medicine”“pharmaceutically communication and rational use of drugs medicine”,the result showed that participants had mastered more than 90%of what they had learned;with 92.5%of participants felt elicitation teaching could help improve students’interests in pharma-cy,and strengthen responsibility;80.0% of the participants believed that part of the modules strengthen the training of clinical think-ing;the training of satisfaction to 100%. CONCLUSIONS: The elicitation teaching mode can not only improve the teaching quality in pharmaceutical standard training,but also strengthen communication and feedback between teachers and students,students and students to make students more deeply understand and master knowledge and improve teaching quality.

Objective To explore gene polymorphism of the G/C genotype of-173G/C(rs755622)in the promoter of macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF)gene in male population,and thus to investigate the relationship between gene polymorphism of MIF and gout.Methods A total of 380 gout patients and 378 healthy controls were enrolled.The possible association between the polymorphism of MIF-173G/C and gout in Chinese were investigated and genotype frequencies and allelic frequencies were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers(PCR-SSP)method.Hardy-Weinberg was used to verify the representativeness of the samples.Comparisons between the groups were performed with x2 test.The gene polymorphism of MIF and gout was performed by t test.Results The frequencies of GG,GC,CC genotypes were 62.1%(236 cases),34.2%(130 cases)and 3.7%(14 cases),respectively among gout patients,while they were 66.5%(252 cases),29.8%(113 cases)and 3.7%(14 cases),respectively among the controls.There was no statistical difference in MIF-173G/C genotype frequencies between gout patients and controls(x2=1.713,P=0.425).The allele frequencies of G and C in gout cases were 79.2%(602 cases)and 20.8%(158cases),while the controls were 81.4%(617 cases)and 18.6%(141 cases),and no significant difference between them could be found(x2=1.148,P=0.302).Combine GG and GC of gout into GG+GC,the association analysis of the two groups showed that,mean age,leves of glucose,TG,TC,BUN,Cr and UA of the GG+GC group and the CC group were(51±13)and(50±15)t=0.369,P=0.712;(7.1±8.8)and(6.1±1.2)mmol/L,t=0.352,P=0.725;(2.3±1.6)and(2.9±3.4)mmol/L,t=-1.207,P=0.228;(5.3±1.2)and(5.7±1.4)mmol/L,t=-1.207,P=0.228;(5.8±2.9)and(6.2±2.2)mmol/L,t=-0.513,P=0.608;(92±52)and(84±17)μmol/L,t=0.537,P=0.592;(472±103)vs(557±154)μmol/L,t=-2.949,P=0.03 respectively;no significant difference was found in the two group.Moreover,no association between MIF-173G/C genotypes and risk factors for gout were detected in gout cases by t-test.Conclusion Results of the present study suggest that the G/C genotype of-173G/C in the promoter of MIF gene is not associated with gout in male population.

The judgment of early curative effect is important to the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and the prognosis of the patients.As a rapid imaging technique,magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is used to quantitatively analyze the changes of water molecules in the tissue by means of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC),so as to diagnose the small lesions of nasopharyngeal carcinoma accurately,evaluate the early curative effect and observe the prognosis.With the continuous improvement and progress of MRI and data analysis technology,DWI in the diagnosis and treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma shows a broader application prospect.

OBJECTIVETo study the correlation between the MRI apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value and histological grade and molecular biology of breast invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC).
METHODSThis retrospective study included 125 patients with IDC verified by pathology from February 2010 to February 2013. Conventional MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) examination were performed using a 3.0T scanner with diffusion factor of 0 and 800 s/mm(2). The region of interest (ROI) was drawn on the largest lesion and/or its two adjacent slices. The ADC value of the whole tumor was calculated as the mean ADC value. The correlation between mean ADCs and histological grade and biological factors was analyzed.
RESULTSThe mean ADC of pathological grade I, II and III IDC was (1.152 ± 0.072)×10(-3) mm(2)/s, (1.102 ± 0.101)×10(-3) mm(2)/s, and (1.035 ± 0.107)×10(-3) mm(2)/s, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference among them (P = 0.003). Statistically a significant difference was observed between grade III and I (P = 0.034), grade III and II (P = 0.006), but not between grade I and II (P = 0.741). A significant correlation was observed between ADC value and pathological grade (r = -0.342, P < 0.001). The median ADC values were significantly higher in the ER-negative than in the ER-positive cases [(1.130 ± 0.115)×10(-3) mm(2)/s vs. (1.060 ± 0.089) ×10(-3) mm(2)/s, P < 0.001)], in PR-negative than in PR-positive cases [(1.121 ± 0.106)×10(-3) mm(2)/s vs. (1.055 ± 0.096) ×10(-3) mm(2)/s, P < 0.001)], and in Ki-67-negative than in Ki-67-positive cases [(1.153 ± 0.090)×10(-3) mm(2)/s vs. (1.063 ± 0.101) ×10(-3) mm(2)/s, P < 0.001]. A statistically significant correlation was observed between ADC value and expressions of ER, PR, and Ki-67 (r = -0.311, r = -0.317, r = -0.414, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONADC value of breast invasive ductal carcinoma is correlated with histological grade, and expression of ER, PR and Ki-67.
