Objective To improve theu nderstanding of the characteristci s of death in hospitail zed hc ildren and provide clinical cautionary information to professional healthcarep rovdie rs.Methods A retro-spective analysis was undertaken on thed ata of all children aged 1 month to 11 years who died at the Xinhua H ospital between 2007 and 2014.Demographic details,main causes of deaths,and chronic underyl ingd iseases were reviewed.Results Case fatality rate was 0.58%( 451/77 838 ) .Overall, the most common causes fo deathni hospitalized childer n were pneumo nia 38.80%(175/451),tumor 13.75%(62/451),sepsis 11.97%(54/451),central nerve system infection 8.00%(36/451) and accident 7.32%(33/451).Infectious disea-ses were the maoj r causes of deathi n children younger than 5ye ars of age(66.86%,230/344).In oc ntrast, noninfectious diseases accuo tn ed for mo re deathsni children more than 5 years old(52.34%,56/107).There were 343d eath cases comp licated wiht chronic undelr ying diseases.Congentia la bnormality was the most fre-quent chronic underlying disease observed in infants(59.90%,115/192) and tumor was the main chronic nu -derlying dsi easei not ddlers and elder children(34.36%,89/259).Conclusion Infectious diseasse were the major causes of deta hs,and teh mortality in the study popual tion decreased with age.Tumors and accidents accounted for more deaths in elder children.Chronic underlying diseases were found in most deaths of children.Efficient evaluation and effective intervention of these vulnerable children might save more lives.

Objective To investigate the apoptosis induction effects and the possible mechanism of YM155 on triple negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231cells.Methods MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with dif-ferent concentrations of YM 155, and the survival rate of the cells was determined by CCK-8 assay and the half maximal inhibitory concentration ( IC50 ) value of YM155 was calculated .The apoptosis rate was examined by An-nexin V-FITC/PI double staining.mRNA expression of survivin and bcl-2 in MDA-MB-231cells was detected by RT-PCR.The protein expression of survivin , bcl-2, caspase-3, and PARP were detected by Western blot .Re-sults YM155 significantly inhibited the growth of MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-and-time-dependenct way .IC50 was(1.749 ±0.265) ng/ml and(0.823 ±0.125) ng/ml respectively at 24 and 48 hours.The apoptosis rate of cells treated with 0.5 ng/ml, 1.0 ng/ml, and 1.5 ng/ml YM155 was (10.93 ±0.94)%,(31.10 ±1.51)%, and(46.83 ±2.92)%respectively, which had significant difference compared to that of the control group (6.4 ± 1.2)%(P<0.01).YM155 could significantly decrease mRNA and protein expression of surviving , besides, it reduced bcl-2 expression and increased caspase-3 and PARP protein expression .Conclusions YM155 can ef-fectively induce the apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells by downregulating survivin and activating caspase pathway . Bcl-2 might play a role in the apoptosis .

Objective To study the efficacy and safety of Solifenacin on female overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms secondary to uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection. Methods Seventy-three adult female patients who had clinically diagnosed as OAB symptoms secondary to uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection were randomly divided into treatment group (41 cases) and control group (32 cases). Treatment group received Solifenacin , 5 mg orally qd , as well as OAB behavioral therapy , but control group was given only OAB behavioral therapy. The overactive bladder syndrome score (OABSS) was evaluated before and after antibiotic treatment in all the patients , and the treatment or observation time lasted four weeks after the antibiotic treatment were deactivated. Then OABSS scoring and the cure rate between two groups were compared. Results OABSS score of treatment group decreased significantly after receiving Solifenacin treatment one week , and the cure rate reached 56.10%, and two weeks later, the cure rate reached 92.68%. OABSS score of control group had no significant change one week after treatment and the cure rate was only 6.25%, but at the fourth week OABSS had decreased significantly and the cure rate reached 37.50%, which was still significantly lower than that of treatment group. There were no drug adverse events during treatment in both groups. Conclusions There is obvious clinical effect of solifenacin on female OAB symptoms secondary to uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection, which is safe and could significantly shorten the course of treatment.

Objective To investigate the role of expression in the differential diagnosis of thyroid follicular carcinoma and follicular variant of papillary carcinoma. Methods Seventy cases of thyroid lesions (including 15 cases of follicular adenomas, 15 cases of adinomatous goiters, 30 cases of papillary carcinomas and 10 cases of follicular carcinomas) were collected, and CD10 expression was detected by means of immunohistochemistry in above thyroid lesions. Results Seven of 9 cases of follicular variant of papillary carcinoma were CD10 positive (77.8), and 8 of 10 cases of follicular carcinoma were CD10 positive (80.0). However, CD10 was negative in all cases of non-follicular variant of papillary carcinoma, follicular adenoma, adinomatous goiter and normal thyroid tissue. Conclusion The detection of CD10 expression is useful to the differential diagnosis of thyroid follicular carcinoma and follicular variant of papillary carcinoma.
