Coxsackievirus A(CV-A)is a common virus associated with a number of serious human diseases,including menin-gitis,myocarditis,herpangina,conjunctivitis and hand,foot and mouth syndrome. In recent years,with the increase of epidemics events with CV-A as the main pathogen,the studies focusing on the CV-A infection have attracted more attention. In this paper,we comprehensively review the basic characteristics,pathogenesis and potential antiviral drugs of CV-A.

Moon tidal flow Naja-Law is a calculating method for choosing acupoint according to time, is a model of chronotherapeutics of TCM. But because the Najia method of calculation is complex, the clinical application is limited. The author based on years of teaching experience, summed up the calculation procedure of three steps: the first step, calculating the heavenly stems, determining the relationship between duty in accordance with the heavenly stems and the meridians; the second step, according to the rules of acupoints, deducing five transporting points; the third step, calculating the acupoint hour.

Objective To investigate the expression of FHITmRNA and WWOXmRNA in human breast cancer tissues and its relation to clinicopathological and other molecular parameters. Methods With reference to the expression of ?-actin,the expression of FHITmRNA and WWOXmRNA was determined by reverse (transcription)-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) in 51 breast cancer and adjacent breast tissue, and (semi-quantitative) analysis of band densities was performed. The protein expression of estrogen receptor(ER), progesterone receptor (PR), Her-2 gene in the 51 breast cancer lesions was detected by (immunohistochemical) method. Results FHITmRNA and WWOXmRNA expression was significantly different in 54 breast cancer tissue compared to adjacent breast tissue (P0.05); of FHITmRNA and WWOX mRNA was related to axillary lymph node metastasis (P

This article was aimed to study the physiological mechanisms in frozen storage to reduce early bolting of Angelica sinensis. By analyzing the root soluble sugar, soluble protein, MDA content changes before and after -10oC processing of the Angelica sinensis seedlings of different size from different sources , the physiological mechanisms in frozen storage reducing early bolting of A . sinensis had been studied. The results indicated that the greater seedlings , the higher content of soluble sugar , lower protein content and higher MDA . There were no obvious differences on the soluble sugar , soluble protein and MDA content of the same size seedlings from different sources . After -10oC freezing , the content of soluble sugar and protein in the seedlings with the same size were decreased. Meanwhile, the content of MDA was increased. It was concluded that the content of soluble sugar, soluble protein and MDA were obviously related to the size of Angelica sinensis seedlings from the same source before and after low temperature process .

Objective To screen the sequence of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) genes in children with dys-chondroplasia and their family members for searching the mutations. Methods The sequence of exon 10 and exon 13 in muta-tion hot spot region of FGFR3 gene in seven families was analyzed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequenc-ing technology. Results The c.1138G>A missense mutation in exon 10 was found in 4 probands who were diagnosed as achon-droplasia (ACH), while this mutation was absent in their parents. The c.1620C>A missense mutation in exon 13 was found in one girl and her mother who both were diagnosed as hypochondroplasia (HCH) with mild symptoms. Neither mutation men-tioned above was found in the other two probands. Conclusions Through detecting the mutation in exon 10, exon 13 of FGFR3 gene, most patients of ACH or HCH can be finally diagnosed. However, it is necessary to perform the mutation screening on the other zones of FGFR3 gene and on other related genes for a few cases.

Objective:The occurrence of numerous tumors, particularly classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (CHL), is related with Ep-stein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. However, the incidence of CHL and its association with EBV varies significantly with ethnicity, geo-graphic location, sex, and age. This study investigated the association of EBV infection with CHL in Northern Chinese Han population. Methods:EBV-encoded small RNA (EBER) was detected in 136 cases of CHL through in situ hybridization. Results:A total of 37 cas-es were EBER positive (28%). The mixed cellularity (MC) subtype had the highest positive EBER rate of 49%(23/47;P<0.001), fol-lowed by lymphocyte-rich subtype with 30%(3/10), nodular sclerosis (NS) subtype with 14%(10/73), and 1ymphocyte depletion with 0%(0/2). Our study identified a single age distribution in the third decade. Moreover, NS subtype showed an evident single peak in the third decade. However, MC subtype had a lower peak in the fifth decade. The incidence of EBER showed a bimodal age distribution with two peaks in the first and fifth decades (21.6%and 24.3%, respectively). Conclusion:CHL in Northern Chinese Han population was associated with EBV infection, particularly the MC subtype.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of lymph node status evaluated by computed tomography (CT) in cervical carcinoma treated with radical chemoradiation therapy.Methods 209 patients with FIGO stage Ⅰ B-ⅣA uterine cervical carcinoma treated with radical chemo radiation therapy were enrolled.Lymph node status was evaluated based on site,number and size respectively by CT.Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the impact of lymph node status as well as other pathoclinical factors on overall survival (OS).Cox regression model was used to explore the relationship between independent prognostic factors and OS.Results Lymph node metastasis rates for stage Ⅰ B,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and ⅣA patients were 16.7 % (1/6),48.2 % (68/141),57.4 % (31/54) and 87.5 % (7/8),respectively.Variate analysis showed that FIGO stage,anemia before treatment,para-aortic lymph node metastasis,and the number (≥3) and size (maximum diameter ≥ 2.0 cm) of CT positive lymph node were significant unfavorable prognostic factors for OS (P < 0.05).FIGO stage,the number of lymph nodes metastasis,pathologic diagnosis and treatment regimen were identified to be independent prognostic factors in multivariate analysis.Conclusion Under current therapeutic strategy of concomitant chemoradiotherapy,lymph node metastatic status evaluated by pretreatment CT is still a significant and independent prognostic factor for cervical cancer.
