Objective To investigate the prevalence of sinusitis in poorly controlled asthma children.Methods Asthmatic children from the Asthma Specialist Department of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital were selected as the study cases,of which 107 children coughing for more than 4 weeks after treatment were allocated to the research group and 105 newly diagnosed asthmatic children were selected as the control group.Results 1.The CT confirmed sinusitis prevalence was 81.3％ (87/107 cases) in research group and 51.4％ (54/105 cases) in the control group,respectively.The 2 groups were significantly different (x2 ＝ 21.242,P ＜ 0.05).2.The patient complained nasal obstruction in sinusitis group was 80.5％ (70/87 cases) compared to 50.0％ (10/20 cases) in non sinusitis group,and the difference between 2 groups was statistically significant (x2 =7.997,P ＜ 0.05).3.In the research group,69.2％ (74/107 cases) suffered from maxillary sinusitis,61.7％ (66/107 cases) ethmoid sinusitis,14.0％ (15/107 cases) frontal sinusitis,and 30.8％ (33/107 cases) sphenoid sinusitis.All the 4 nasosinus involved was 10.3％ (11/107 cases).The frequency of allergic rhinitis symptoms in 4 groups of sinuses had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Chronic cough in poorly controlled asthma children is related to sinusitis and upper airway cough syndrome.

As induction chemotherapy goes on,target volume,dose distribution in the surrounding organs at risk (OARs),and target dose conformity all change.Therefore,the question is how to develop reasonable radiotherapy plans in clinical practice.Induction chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy is commonly used around the world,but it is recommended to delineate the target volume based on the gross tumor volume before induction chemotherapy and not to reduce the dose.This point of view lacks the basis of evidence-based medicine.The experts and scholars in China clarify the advantages of radiotherapy plans after induction chemotherapy from the aspects of reducing the target volume,reducing the volume of high-dose region in the target volume,increasing the uniform dose coverage in target volume,reducing dose to OARs,and increasing dose conformity.However,at present,there are no objective data on its long-term efficacy and benefit.Besides,no consensus has been reached on how to delineate the target volume and determine the dose distribution after induction chemotherapy,and further studies are needed.

18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) is the integration of functional imaging and anatomic information,which is found to be particularly valuable in TNM staging,tumor volume delineating,post-treatment assessment,identification of recurrent and residual nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).The combination of 18F-FDG PET-CT with other image technologies,different tracer agents,and specific molecular biomarkers can improve the application value of 18F-FDG PET-CT in NPC.

Objective To investigate the value of FDG PET-CT in the outcome assessment and prognostic evaluation for recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (rNPC).Methods From January 2008 to December 2013,92 rNPC patients were treated in our center,who were histologically or radiologically diagnosed and re-staged according to the 2008 clinical staging system for nasopharyngeal carcinoma in China.The numbers of patients in stage Ⅰ,stage Ⅱ,stage Ⅲ,and stage Ⅳ were 8,11,39,and 34,respectively.According to the recurrent T stage (rT),the numbers of patients in rT1,rT2,rT3,and rT4 were 10,11,38,and 33,respectively.Twenty-eight patients had recurrence in the neck lymph nodes.All patients underwent pretreatment FDG PET-CT for the whole body or head/neck,and treated by radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy.The relationship of maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) and clinical factors with clinical outcomes was analyzed.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate overall survival (OS),disease-free survival (DFS),local recurrence-free survival (LRFS),regional recurrence-free survival (RRFS),and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS).The log-rank test was used for survival difference analysis and univariate prognostic analysis.The Cox model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis.Results The 3-year OS,DFS,LRFS,RRFS,and DMFS were 33.6％,32.1％,32.8％,31.8％,and 33.7％,respectively.The median SUVmax was 8.35 (2.7-21.5).The SUVmax of 7.0 was taken as the optimal cut-off value for all patients.Patients with SUVmax ≤7.0 had a significantly higher 3-year OS rate than those with SUVm ax ＞7.0 (42.0％ vs.28.3％,P=0.019).The univariate analysis revealed that patient age,SUV and rN were significantly associated with OS (P=0.023,0.019,and 0.002).The multivariate analysis showed that SUVmax and rN were significant influencing factors for OS,DFS,and DMFS (HR=1.68,P=0.045 and HR=2.23,P=0.003;HR=1.67,P=0.042 and HR=2.39,P=0.001;HR=1.77,P=0.025 and HR=2.40,P=0.001).Conclusions SUVmax may be one of the useful prognostic factors for OS,DFS,and DMFS in rNPC patients.

Aim To compare the effects of the non-peptide angiotensin Ⅱ receptor type Ⅰ antagonist,Losartan,and the active vascular peptide,calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP),on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells induced by angiotensin Ⅱ,and to explore the mechanism of depressor effect of Losartan and CGRP in vivo.Methods MTT,Thymidine incorporation and flow cytometry,were used to determine the ability of proliferation of VSMC induced by angiotensin Ⅱ in the presence or absence of Losartan or CGRP,Western blotting was used to determine the activity of ERK1/2.Results Losartan or CGRP inhibited the viability,DNA synthesis,cell proliferation index,and the activity of ERK1/2 in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusion Losartan or CGRP significantly inhibits the proliferation of VSMC induced by angiotensin Ⅱ;the inhibitory effect of CGRP is stronger than that of Losartan.The signaling path way is involved in ERK1/2.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of May-Grunwald-Giemsa staining followed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (MGG-FISH) technique in the differentiation diagnosis of Ph-chromosome positive acute lymphoid leukemia (Ph + ALL) from chronic myeloid leukemia in lymphoid blast crisis(CML-LBC). Methods The bone marrow smears of 4 patients with Ph+ ALL, 4 patients with CML-LBC, 1 patient with CML in myelocytic blast crisis complicated with lymphoma and 1 patient with CML in mixed blast crisis were assayed with the MGG-FISH technique in which the spectrum green labeled BCR and spectrum orange labeled ABL dual color dual fusion probes were used. Based on the morphological classification, the percentages of BCR-ABL positive cells were subsequently determined respectively in the erythroid, myeloid and lymphoid hneages for the 10 specimens. Results According to the MGG-FISH analysis, the erythroid lineage was not involved in the 4 Ph+ ALL specimens without BCR/ABL positive cells. While the BCR/ABL positive percentage of myeloid cells was 11% (1/9), 8% (1/12), 0% (0/8) and 10% (1/10) respectively and that of lymphoid cells was 97% (76/78), 98% (87/89), 98% (97/99) and 97% (75/77) respectively. On the other hand, the BCR/ABL positive percentage was 100% (8/8), 91% (10/11), 82% (9/11), 88% (7/8) in the erythroid lineage, 89% (8/9), 96% (94/98), 100% (47/47), 98% (40/41)in the myeloid lineage and 96% (78/81), 93% (52/56), 96% (68/71), 95% (58/61) in the lymphoid lineage respectively for the 4 CML-LBC specimens. The BCR/ABL positive percentages of the other 2 specimens were all above 80% and through MGG-FISH analysis we also identified the source of the malignant clones and ascertained the diagnosis of the 2 patients. Conclusions The MGG-FISH technique has proved useful in providing rapid and precise differentiation between Ph + ALL and CML-LBC. The source of the malignant clones can also be analyzed by this technique.
