Objective:To evaluate the relation between the single nucleotide polymorphism of CYP2D6 gene G4268C and the genetic susceptibility to lung cancer. Methods: A case-control study was conducted among 118 lung cancer patients and 118 control subjects (matched for sex, age) to investigate the role of CYP2D6 gene G4268C polymorphism in lung cancer; PCR-RFLP was used to identify the genotypes of polymorphism. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between polymorphism and genetic susceptibility to lung cancer. Results: The frequency of G4268→C mutation in case and control group were 69.49% and 75.00%, respectively. Non-C4268/C genotype (including G4268/G and G4268/C genotype) was correlated to the high risk of lung cancer, with OR adjusted by gender, age and smoking being 1.80 (95% CI=1.06-3.06), especially to lung adenocarcinoma (OR being 2.95 95% CI=1.39-6.23). After stratified analysis of smoking history and adjusting by gender and age, it was revealed that non-C4268/C genotype was associated with significantly increased risk of lung cancer in non-smokers and light-smokers group, with OR=2.12 (95% CI=1.03-4.36) and OR=3.75 (95% CI=1.15-12.22), respectively. Conclusion: C4268/C genotype may be a protective factor in lung adenocarcinoma patients and may decrease the risk of lung cancer in non-smokers and light-smorkers.

BACKGROUND:To maintain the long-term effect of ful crown largely depends on the health of periodontal tissues. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of CAD/CAM zirconia al-ceramic crown restoration on the state of periodontal health. METHODS:Sixty-four abutments of 55 patients were randomly divided into two groups:the experimental group included 32 abutments of 29 patients which would be restored by CAD/CAM zirconia al-ceramic crowns;the control ed group included 32 abutments of 26 patients which would be restored by Ni-Cr al oy porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations. The volume of gingival crevicular fluid and the levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-αin the two groups were examined at the pre-restoration and post-restoration stages. Meanwhile, periodontal clinical indicators, including sulcus bleeding index, probing depth, plaque index and attachment loss were recorded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:No difference in various indexes was found in the experimental group before and after restoration (P>0.05). At 12 months after restoration, in the control group, the volume of gingival crevicular fluid, the levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α, sulcus bleeding index, probing depth, and plaque index were al increased (P>0.05);meanwhile, these indexes in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Experimental findings suggest that the CAD/CAM zirconia al-ceramic crown restoration is more favorable to the health of periodontal tissues.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in diagnosis of atypical cancerization nodules (CNs) of liver cirrhosis. Methods Totally 34 patients with atypical CNs of liver cirrhosis confirmed pathologically underwent routine MR, dynamic enhancement, and DWI (b=0, 500, 1000 s/mm~2). The detection rate of CNs of liver cirrhosis between routine MR and DWI was compared. Results Totally 21 patients with 28 cancerization nodules were diagnosed with routine and dynamic enhancement MR, while 27 patients with 37 cancerization nodules were detected with DWI. Significant difference was found in the detection rate between routine scan and DWI (P=0.025). Conclusion DWI shows more advantage than routine and dynamic enhancement MR for detection of liver cirrhosis with atypical CNs.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of tripterygium glycosides combined with mizolastine in the treatment of dermatitis and eczema. METHODS:138 patients with dermatitis and eczema were randomly divided into control group (69 cases) and observation group (69 cases). Control group received Mizolastine sustained release tablet 10 mg,orally,once a day. Observation group additionally received Tripterygium glycosides tablet 20-30 mg,orally taking after a meal,3 times a day. All patients treated for 3 weeks,patients’life way remained unchanged during treatment. Clinical efficacy,total score of symptoms, IL-2,IL-6,CRP levels and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:The total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group,with significant difference (P<0.01). After treatment,the total score of symptoms,IL-2,IL-6,CRP levels in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,with significant differences(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The incidence of adverse reactions in observation group was significantly lower than control group,with significant difference (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Tripterygium glycosides combined with mizolastine shows better efficacy than mizolastine alone in the treatment of dermatitis and eczema,with better safety.

Severe combined immunodeficiency(SCID)is a kind of severe primary immunodeficiency disease.Patients often develop symptoms after birth, which is characterized by recurrent and life-threatening infection, sometimes accompanied by varying degrees of dysplasia.According to the classification proposed by the PID expert Committee of the International Union of Immunological Societies, SCID is clinically classified by the number of lymphocytes.Early screening and intervention of SCID is significant to improve the prognosis.With the promotion of TREC and other early screening methods, the detection rate of SCID has significantly improved, but the accurate detection rate in different ethnic groups still needs further explored.Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a traditional therapy for radical cure of SCID.And the safety of gene therapy for SCID has been gradually guaranteed with continuous improvement during recent years.This article will review the classification, early screening methods and treatment progress of SCID.
