Objective To study the prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) in China. Method School children aged 6～ 20 were surveyed with questionnaire in different areas in our country. Results This survey was carried out in 22 cities and rural areas, distributed in 11 provinces. There were 548 AD patients（ 347 males and 201 females） in a total population of 78 586. The total standardized prevalence (SP) was 0.69％ . The SPs of the males and the females were 0.84％ and 0.51％ , respectively, the difference being statistically significant(P

Objective To understand the application of dietary supplements among adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2MD) in two areas of China. Methods A total of 615 T2MD patients were recruited from three hospitals in Beijing and Shenyang, with convenience sampling for the study using self-reported questionnaires. Data were statistically analyzed. Results Overall 34. 8% of the participants (22.5% in Beijing and 45.5% in Shenyang, respectively) reported ever use of at least one dietary supplement in the past 12 months. The most commonly used supplement was royal jelly ( 16. 1% ), followed by vitamins ( 10. 1% ), calcium (8. 8% ),fish oil (7. 3% ), spirulina (3.9%), and lecithin (2. 3% ). Except that royal jelly was used for complementary treatment for T2MD, most of the other supplements were used for improving their body defense. In addition, more than 20 other health dietary supplements were also used for diabetes-related conditions in 8. 5% of the participants surveyed. The participants' main sources of information about dietary supplements were from mass media or recommendations by relatives and friends. About half of supplements users perceived that the dietary supplements were effective. The application of dietary supplements was associated with gender, educational background, living area,perceived burden of medical cost, stage of diabetes, comorbidity, and body mass index (BMI) of the patients ( all P ＜0. 05). Conclusions Dietary supplements are widely used among T2MD patients in Beijing and Shenyang.The types of these dietary supplements are diverse and lack professional instructions. It is recommended that information on dietary supplements should be included in diabetes education.

Objective To study the protective function of resveratrol on radiation-induced small intestine injury and lethal effect in mice.Methods Mice were randomly divided into three groups:irradiation (IR) control,IR only,and IR + resveratrol.15 mice each group were irradiated on abdomen with 7.2 Gy γ-rays for cell lethal assay and 8 mice each group were irradiated with 6.5 Gy for small intestine injury assay.For the IR + resveratrol group,the mouse was given resveratrol by intragastric administration 24 h before irradiation and then was fed with resveratrol daily for 5 days.The control and IR alone groups were fed with placebo.After 30 days of IR,mouse survival rate was detected.For small intestine injury experiments,24 h after IR,the mice were terminated and the small intestines were treated with HE and immunohistochemical staining.Results Compared with the irradiation group,resveratrol increased mouse survival by 33.3％,decreased apoptosis in intestinal crypt cells (t =17.35,P ＜ 0.05),and increased Ki67 expression (t =13.62,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Resveratrol could protect small intestine injury from ionizing irradiation.

BACKGROUND:Thyroid cancer stem cells are one of the reasons for tumor resistance that promotes tumor development. The research of thyroid cancer stem cells has provides a new clinic means for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer. OBJECTIVE:To overview the discovery, identification, and correlation of thyroid cancer stem cells with thyroid cancer. METHODS:A computer-based online search of PubMed database and Wan Fang database between 1995-01/2014-01 was performed to search related articles with the key words of“thyroid cancer, cancer stem cell, stem cell, cancer suppressor gene”in English and Chinese, respectively. Literatures related to thyroid cancer stem cells were selected;in the same field, the articles published lately in authoritative journals were preferred. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 561 literatures were primarily selected, and 57 documents were involved for result analysis according to inclusion criteria. Cancer stem cells have become a focus in the study of carcinogenesis. Stem cells also exist in the thyroid gland and its tumor. At present, there are several ways to isolate and identify thyroid cancer stem cells. The tumor thyroid stem cells are closely related to the occurrence, transfer and treatment of tumors. But whether we can cure thyroid cancer through restraining or eliminating thyroid cancer stem cells is stil unknown that needs further studies.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of systemic fungal infection in patients at auto-psy and its association with clinical data.Methods The materials from unselected adult patients were exa-mined at necropsy in our hospital from1971to2000,and the fungal species were identified by their mor-phologies in pathology.The clinical and pathological data were compared.Results The rate of fungal infec-tion was7.8%(31/396)among396cases.Seventeen(54.8%)of the31cases were infected with as-pergillus.The frequencies of organs involved with fungal infection were83.87%in lungs,48.39%in kid-neys,35.48%in brain and29.03%in heart,respectively.The fungal infection attributed directly to death in21cases.Conclusion Systemic fungal infection is one of the most common fatal causes among the critically ill patients,and aspergillosis becomes a major pathogenic fungus for patients with systemic fungal infection at autopsy.

ObjectiveTo evaluate partial inferior vena cava (IVC) interruption and filter placement in the prevention of pulmonary embolism caused by lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (LEDVT).MethodsAmong 44 cases of LEDVT, 10 cases underwent partial IVC interruption, 34 cases received IVC filter placement.Results7 out of 10 cases undergoing IVC occlusion experienced post operative relief of non-fatal pulmonary embolism symptoms with no perioperative mortality or severe complications.On follow-up of 8 months, 3 cases experienced non-lethal pulmonary embolism. 24 out of 34 filter placement cases had postoperative relief of pulmonary embolism symptoms with no perioperative mortality. 2 cases suffered from inhospital pulmonary embolism with one death. 20 cases were followed up for an average of 10 months without recurrence of pulmonary embolism. Conclusion Both partial IVC interruption and filter placement are safe and effective surgical procedures for the prevention of recurrence of pulmonary embolism. The result of filter placement is more favourable.
