With the deepening of the lung cancer molecular biology research,small molecular targets antitumor drugs make breakthrough progress,the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) is one of the most attention drug.A series studies show that EGFR-TKI can enhance the antitumor activity of ionizing radiation.Therefore,EGFR-TKI combined with radiotherapy alone for poor-risk patients appears survival benefit,but can't ignore the lung toxicity.However,there is a big contro-versy that EGFR-TKI combined with chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced NSCLC.

Objective To investigate the relationship between genetic polymorphism of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and the risk of childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL).Methods 45 patients with ALL and a cohort of 45 matched healthy children were included,and DNA was extracted from their peripheral blood.PCR-RFLP was used to determine the genotypes of MTHFR C677T and A1298C.The adjusted odds tatio (OR) and 95 ％ confidence interwal (CI) were calculated using unconditional logistic regression model.Results The frequency of MTHFR 677 CC,CT and TT genetypes were 31.1％ (14/45),51.1％ (23/45) and 17.7 ％ (8/45) in controls and 51.1％ (23/45),40.0 ％ (18/45) and 8.9 ％ (4/45)in ALL,respectively (x2 =7.48,P =0.04).The frequency of MTHFR 677 T allele were 69.9 ％ (31/45) in controls and 48.8 ％ (22/45) in ALL.The MTHFR 677 T allele had an decreased risk in ALL compared with CC genetype (OR =0.4,95 ％ CI 0.21-0.83).The frequency of MTHFR 1298 AA,AC and CC genetypes were 57.8 ％,40.0 ％ and 2.2 ％ in controls and 18.8 ％,44.4 ％ and 6.8 ％ in ALL,respectively (x2 =11.23,P=0.23).The frequency of MTHFR 1298 C allele were 51.1％ (23/45) in controls and 42.2 ％ (19/45) in ALL.No significant association between the MTHFR 1298 polymorphism and the risk of ALL (OR =1.3,95 ％ CI 0.21-0.83).Conclusion MTHFR 677 polymorphism could significantly decrease the risk of developing childhood ALL,whereas MTHFR 1298 don' t significantly affect the risk of ALL.

Objective To visualize blood flow changes in verruca vulgaris noninvasively with laser speckle contrast analysis (LSCA), and to evaluate the relationship of size and location of warts with efficacy of laser treatment. Methods Pulsed dye laser(PDL)was used to treat 30 verruca vulgaris lesions in 17 patients. In order to evaluate therapeutic effect of PDL, LSCA was performed to observe blood flow in warts and their surrounding normal skin, and to calculate speckle flow index (SFI)values before laser treatment, and at 10 minutes as well as on 3 weeks after laser treatment. Results Before PDL treatment, SFI values were significantly higher in warts than in their surrounding normal skin (11.600 ± 1.190 vs. 5.280 ± 0.481, t = 8.169, P < 0.01). Compared with those before the treatment, SFI values in warts significantly decreased at 10 minutes(3.112 ± 0.484, t = 4.407, P < 0.01)and on week 3(7.315 ± 1.083, t = 3.294, P < 0.01)after the treatment, and were significantly higher on week 3 than at 10 minutes (t = 4.646, P < 0.01). SFI values in surrounding normal skin significantly increased at 10 minutes after the treatment compared with those before the treatment (20.260 ± 2.063 vs. 5.296 ± 0.708, t = 6.770, P < 0.01), but were significantly lower on week 3 than at 10 minutes (4.941 ± 0.616, t = 6.964, P < 0.01). No significant difference was observed between SFI values in surrounding normal skin on week 3 after the treatment and those before the treatment (t = 0.378, P = 0.707). The efficacy of laser treatment was associated wart size and location. Changes of blood flow(|ΔSFI|)were significantly higher in warts measuring less than 0.5 cm2 in size than in those equal to or more than 0.5 cm2 (t = 2.287, P < 0.05), and significantly differed among warts at different sites (F =15.71, P < 0.01). The greatest changes of blood flow in warts were observed on fingers, followed by the dorsum of feet, toes, palms and soles and periungual areas. Conclusions Blood flow in verruca vulgaris is markedly increased compared with that in normal skin. PDL can clear verruca vulgaris by solidifying and gasifying capillaries. LSCA may be used to evaluate the efficacy of laser on verruca vulgaris more quantitively by monitoring regional blood flow.

Aim To study the effect of BNIP3 on hy-poxia-induced autophagic cell death in gastric carcino-ma.Methods The protein levels of BNIP3 and LC3-Ⅱ of 1 8 cases of gastric carcinoma were studied with immunocytochemistry and Western blot analysis be-tween normal and tumor tissues.The expression of LC3-Ⅱ in SGC-7901 cells was assessed while knock-down of BNIP3 by siRNA in CoCl2-induced hypoxia, and the effect of 3-MA was also studied.Cell viability in hypoxia treatment for 48 h was estimated with cell counting kit-8 (CCK8).Results Compared with nor-mal tissues,the protein levels of BNIP3 and LC3-Ⅱwere increased in tumor tissues.BNIP3 siRNA could decrease the expression of LC3-Ⅱ and enhance the cell viability,while inhibition of autophagy could also in-crease the cell viability in SGC-7901 cells.Conclu-sions BNIP3 may play a role in hypoxia-induced cell death in gastric carcinoma,and the possible mecha-nism may be related to the regulation of autophagy.
