Childhood cancers are malignancies occured during childhood,which consist of blood-lymphatic system disorders and solid tumor,usually under the age of 15 years old.Among cancers of childhood,solid tumors account for the mainly proportion and most neoplasms are embryonic origin,which are distinctly different from the adult solid tumors.The pathogenesis of children with an oncologic disease,except from the 2 major elements heredity and environment,some experts consider that there are intense correlations between various carcinogenic environment exposure during pregnancy even progestation and childhood cancers.The placenta is a combination of embryo and the maternal tissues,while is a material exchanged organ between 2 parts.One part has a same origin with fetus biological and genetics,and the other provides comprehensive guarantee for fetus normal development in utero.The research of the placental disease of childhood cancers may have a breakthrough in the study of the etiology of pediatric oncology.

Objective To explore the clinical application value of blood routine examination in judgment of the activity of inflammatory bowel diseases.Methods 102 patients with inflammatory bowel disease were selected as the main research objects,60 healthy persons in the same period were selected as the control group,all of the subjects were received routine testing of blood,C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate,and the relationships between disease and blood routine indexes were compared.Results In UC group,the PLT,WBC RDW index levels of remission were higher than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(t =6.75,8.21,5.73,all P ＜0.05).In patients with UC,the HGB,HCTand MPV index levels were lower than those in the remission patients and the control group,the differences were statistically significant(t =8.12,11.03,6.72,9.35,10.23,8.71,all P ＜0.05).But the PLT index was higher than that of patients in remission,the RDW and WBC indexes were higher than those in the control group and the remission period,there were statistically significant differences (t =7.59,8.51,6.03,all P ＜ 0.05).The routine blood indexes of the relief patients of CD group had significant differences compared with the control group(t =6.17,7.29,9.01,10.35,8.27,7.69,8.01,9.91,allP ＜ 0.05),the HCT,MCV,HGB and MPV indexes were lower than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t =9.01,10.35,8.27,9.9i,all P ＜ 0.05),the WBC,PLT,N and RDW indexes were higher than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t =6.17,7.29,7.69,8.01,all P ＜ 0.05).In UC group,the HGB,HCT,MCV and MPV indexes were lower than those in the remission patients and the control group,there were statistically significant differences(t =8.19,6.97,7.53,9.02,all P ＜ 0.05).But the PLT,RDW,WBC and N indexes were higher than those in the remission patients and the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t =9.81,7.94,8.36,7.61,P ＜ 0.05).In the active patients of CD group,the WBC and N indexes were significantly higher than those of UC group,the differences were statistically significant (t =8.15,9.07,all P ＜ 0.05).In the remission patients of CD group,the PLT index was significandy higher than that in the remission patients of UC group,the difference was statistically significant (t =10.35,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Indexes of blood routine has obvious significance in activity of inflammatory bowel disease,and it is significant correlation with inflammation index,which can be used as one of the routine clinical method to determine the activity of inflammatory bowel diseases.

BACKGROUND:Individuals with different vertical facial types have different chin morphologies. For the individuals with different vertical facial types, what is the most beautiful chin morphology?
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of vertical facial types and chin morphology on facial profile attractiveness.
METHODS:Three beautiful females were selected, including one with high mandibular angle, one with average angle and one with low angle. Their facial profile photographs were taken. A series of new pictures were generated by the smal scale (2 mm per unit) modification of soft tissue chin in the sagittal direction and vertical direction. Raters consisting of 17 orthodontists and 35 laypersons were selected for aesthetic ratings, in order to evaluate the facial profile attractiveness of the individuals with different vertical facial types.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no esthetic difference of vertical change in female with high angle;while slightly protrude chin was perceived to be more beautiful than retruded chin. For the female with average angle, lower chin was more attractive than higher chin;slightly protruded chin was beautiful than excessive protruded chin and retruded chin. For the individual with low angle, higher chin was preferred by raters;slightly protruded chin was more beautiful than excessive protruded chin and retruded chin.The results indicate that the effects of vertical facial types and chin morphology to facial profile attractiveness are different. In clinical orthodontic, vertical facial types should be taking into consideration to change the chin morphology of the patents, in order to obtain better profile attractiveness.

Objective To investigate the association of thyroid carcinoma and urine iodine level in Urumqi region,intent to provide the evidence of individual iodine supplement of this region.Methods In this case-control study,there were 100 patients with thyroid carcinoma and 300 patients with normal thyroid function as the control group in Xinjiang Tumor Hospital between February 2012 and December 2012 as the case group.All the cases were detected for urine iodine concentration by arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry.Results The mean level of urinary iodine in the case group (272.69 μg/L) was higher than that in the control group (161.40 μg/L) (P ＜ 0.05).The level of iodine was excessive (urinary iodine ＞ 300 μg/L) in 34 ％ (34/100) patients in the case group and 10 ％ (30/300) patients in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The average urinary iodine content of the thyroid carcinoma in Urmuqi region are generally higher than that of the healthy control group,which indicates that the iodine nutritional status in patients with thyroid carcinoma are better than that in the general population.The relationship between thyroid carcinoma and excessive iodine intake should be necessary for further study.

Objective To investigate the effect of rectal washout on prevention of local recurrence in patients with resectable rectal cancer.Methods Relevant studies published on PubMed,Embase database and Google between January 1980 and June 2013 were identified and reviewed.A meta-analysis was performed to compute the risk ratio (RR) and evaluate the effect of rectal washout on local recurrence in patients included in the reviewed studies.Results Eight studies were included in the meta-analysis,in which a total of 427 patients underwent rectal washout and 492 did not during rectal cancer resection.The patients had an overall local recurrence (LR) rate of 6.64 ％ (61/919).Rectal washout,no matter which type of washout solution was used,significantly reduced the risks of local recurrence (3.75 ％,16/427 vs 9.15 ％,45/492,RR =0.46,95 ％ CI =0.26-0.82,P =0.008).Patients with rectal washout showed a low LR rate,when compared with those in the three subgroups who underwent total mesorectal excision (TME) (5.18 ％,10/193 vs 5.32 ％,10/188).However,there was no statistically significant difference in the risk of LR among the three subgroups (RR =0.99,95 ％ CI =0.42-2.30,P =0.98; RR =0.44,95 ％ CI =0.18-1.04,P =0.06; RR =0.46,95 ％ CI =0.20-1.04,P =0.06,respectively).Conclusions The intra-operative rectal washout largely reduces local recurrence after anterior resection of rectal cancer.Rectal washout should be applied routinely during anterior resection.

Objective To analyze the major risk factors of elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complexing with coronary heart disease(CHD) via principal component analysis (PCA).Methods The clinical data of 503 subjects aged ＞ 60 years with T2DM were retrospectively analyzed.Urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER) from urine collected from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM was measured by chemiluminescence.The degree of angiostegnosis was evaluated by Judkins coronary arteriography and Gensini score. According to UAER level, the patients were divided into microaibuminuria group (20 mg/L＜UAER＜200 mg/L,n= 226) and normal urinary albumin group (UAER＜20 mag/L,n=277).PCA was used to discuss the major risk factors to affect T2DM patients with CHD in the elderly. Results Characteristic values of the principal component from first to seventh were all more than 1,their cumulative rate was 64.7％. The first to fourth principal components and their variances were UAER(14.1％),blood fat (11.8％),blood pressure(10.2％)and uric acid( 8.7 ％),respectively.The fifth to seventh principal components were all blood glucose and the cumulative variance was 19.8％.The numbers of angiostegnosis were 36.5G％ single,34.7％double and 28.9 ％ three in patients with normal urinary albumin,while1(10.2％) single,27.9％ doubleand 61.9％ three in patients with microalbuminuria,respectively(P＜0.05).The Gensini scores was increased in microalbuminuria group (50.7± 35.8) as compared with normal urinary albumin group (19.74±23.0) (P＜0.05). UAER was independently related to Gensini scores (β=0.442,P=0.000). Conclusions UAER is the most important factor of elderly T2DM complexing with CHD and positively correlated with severity of CHD as its independent factor.
