Fatigue is one of the most common complaints in cancer patients that profoundly affects all aspects of quality of life.However,cancer-related fatigue remains under recognized and poorly treated.This rcview has been conducted with the causes and potential treatments of fatigue in cancer patients.The methods for evaluating fatigue,and possible therapeutic options are also discussed.

Children with plastic bronchitis,characterized by unknown origin,insidious onset,rapid progress,severe symptom and high mortality,is a relatively rare disease.Also,it is difficult to diagnose and treat with plastic bronchitis characterized by marked airway obstruction,via the formation of large gelatinous or rigid airway cast.It is associated with certain diseases including bronchial asthma,cystic fibrosis,accompanied with acute chest syndrome with sickle cell disease,congenital heart disease and bacterial and viral respiratory infection.Clinicians should be aware of this disease,and early bronchoscopy should be intervened.

Retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) is a common pathological and physiological clinical oculopathy,which can occur in retinal artery and vein occlusion,diabetic retinopathy and acute angle-closure glaucoma.The resulting ischemia can cause cell metabolic dysfunction,serious retinal damage and descending visual function.RIRI is the result of multiple factors.The currently accepted hypotheses mainly include the injury effect of oxygen-derived free radicals,intracellular calcium overload,the action of leucocyte and apoptosis.However the protection and treatment research in the RIRI is limited.The present paper reviews the progression in the drug intervention of RIRI.

Objective: To investigate relationships among Cognitive performance,cognitive styles and Neuroticism.Methods: Experimental cognitive tests were administered to 30 Highly and 30 Lowly neurotic individuals under tightened and relaxed cognitive conditions.Results: Highly and Lowly neurotic individuals did not appear any differences in total scores,but significant differences in scores of tightened-relaxed cognitive styles.Highly Neurotic individuals mostly tend to be relaxed cognitive style,and Lowly Neurotic individuals to be tightened cognitive style.Conclusion: Neuroticism does not relate with total scores of cognitive performance under tightened and relaxed cognitive condition,but with tightened-relaxed cognitive styles.

The response of rat mesenteric microvessels to noradrenaline (NA) in different stages of endotoxic shock was investigated by using vital microscope with video television recorder. It was found that the diameter of the microvessels showed a dose-dependent decrease to local NA application from the low to high concentration. The constricted response curve was remained unchanged at the experimental duration. The constricted response to NA was increased significantly at early stage of shock but was decreased at late stage (both P

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the present situation and trend of the antidepressants.METHODS:The antidepres?sants drugs in21hospitals of Hangzhou during2000～2003was statistically analyzed with respect to sales sum,market struc?ture etc.RESULTS:The total amount for antidepressants increased dramatically year by year.The consumption of the im?ported antidepressants has been decreasing while that of the domestic has been increasing and that of the antidepressants from the joint ventures remained stable.CONCLUSION:There is a great potential for the development of antidepressants;the sales amount and the consumption sum take on a trend of increasing rapidly.

AIM: To investigate the kinetics of interleukin-6(IL-6) protein and mRNA expressions in the co-culture of rat brain vascular endothelial cells(VECs) with fibrin.METHODS: The IL-6 concentration were measured by rat IL-6 ELISA kit and the IL-6 mRNA was measured by real-time PCR after development an in vitro model of in situ fibrin polymerization on rat brain vascular endothelial cells.RESULTS: Fibrin induced IL-6 expression.The IL-6 antigen concentration increased significantly in 1.0 g/L media group compared to the low dose fibrin group or control media group(P

Dermatovenereology have developed rapidly in fields including genodermatology, dermatological epidemiology, skin immunology, infectious skin diseases, clinical diagnosis, drug treatment, light therapy, and sexually transmitted diseases in recent years. Meanwhile, many skin diseases and a few venereal diseases still lack effective ways of treatment and control. More efforts should be made in both basic and clinical researches in the related fields.
