Targeted agents for advanced colorectal cancer mainly include inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).Studies show that bevacizumab and cetuximab can improve the prognosis of advanced colorectal cancer patients,but there is slight difference in the choice of chemotherapy regimens when combined with them.Bevacizumab and cetuximab can improve the overall survival of K-ras wild-type colorectal cancer patients similarly.The emergence of new targeted drugs such as aflibercept,regorafenib provides more choices for the targeted therapy of advanced colorectal cancer patients.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of roseola infantmn with febrile convulsions.Methods All cases with roseola infantum or with febrile convulsions were retrospectively collected who were confirmed during January 2005 to February 2008. There were 31 cases of roseola infantum with febrile convulsions. Their clinical features were compared with cases of roseola infantum without febrile convulsions and eases of other febrile convulsions,respectively, and further analyzed with literature. Results There were 17.1% (3 1 / 181 ) roseola infantum with febrile convulsions among febrile convulsions and 24.4% (31/127)among febrile convulsions less than 2 years;The incidence of roseola infantum with febrile convulsions was 15.7% (31/198) among roseola infantum. The median age of roseola infantum with febrile convulsions was less than that of other febrile convulsions. There were no significant differences in sex, age, maximum body temperature, duration of fever and day of rash onset between roseola infantum with and without febrile convulsions ( P > 0.05 ), but the frequency of family history of febrile convulsions was significantly higher in roseola infantum with febrile convulsions than in those without febrile convulsions ( P < O. 05). Conclusions Familial predisposition is a risk factor in roseola infantum with febrile convulsions. In most cases the prognosis of roseola infantum with febrile convulsions was good,but it can be associated with severe diseases of central nervous system. Roseola infantum should be considered when encountering children under the age of 1 year with a first febrile convulsion.

Objective To analyze the change of disease constitution of complications in preterm infants in our hospital and to provide a scientific basis for the clinical prevention and treatment in the future. Methods Two hundred and sixty-eight preterm infants were admitted in NICU of our hospital from Jan. 2004 to Dec. 2009. The constitutions of complications in preterm infants were retrospectively analysed by year. Results One hundred and ninety-seven cases had complications and the incidence of complications was 73.51% ( 197/268 ). The most common complications of preterm infants in our hospital included neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (41. 62% ,82/197), neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (39. 59% , 78/197) and neonatal aspiration syndrome (34. 01%, 67/ 197). The change of disease constitution of the complications were as follows: the disease constitution of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia always located within the first 3 diseases ( ranged from 28. 57% to 75.76% , χ2 =13. 582, P < 0. 001) ;the occurrence of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy showed upward trend( increased from 10. 71% to 56. 25% ,χ2 =7. 577,P<0. 001) ,but decreased in 2008,2009;the neonatal aspiration syndrome presented with a high but fluctuant incidence among the 6 years (ranged from 15. 15% to 56. 25% ,x2=12.002,P < 0.001) ; the neonatal hypoglycemia increased in the nearly 3 years;the incidence of neonatal asphyxia was stationary;the disease constitution of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome fluctuated up and down( ranged from 3. 57% to 20.41% ,χ2 = 4. 125,P<0. 05) ;the anemia in premature infant showed upward trend,increasing from 3.03% to 18. 37% (χ2 = 4. 332,P< 0.05 ) ; the occurrence of neonatal scleredema decreased with no statistical significance; the preterm infants suffered from infectious diseases with lower rate. Conclusions The disease constitution of the hospitalized preterm infants in our hospital in the last 6 years is mainly non-infectious diseases. The neonatal asphyxia recovery technology should be further improved. The serum bilirubin concentration should be monitored early after birth of preterm infants and intervened timely. Cranial imaging studies should be performed timely for early detection of brain injury.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a special subgroup of breast cancer with more aggressive biological behavior and clinicopathological characteristics,and the therapy of TNBC has always been the research difficulty and hot spot.Currently,surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy are still the main method in local treatment,amd the research of traditional chemotherapy and targeted therapy have been made some progress.Meanwhile,new drugs continuously appear in recent years.

The National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) is a clinical trials cooperative group supported by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).The NSABP has conducted clinical trials in breast and colorectal cancer for nearly 40 years,many of which have greatly improved the therapies in breast and colorectal cancers.There have been some new advances on new adjuvant chemotherapy regimens,targeted therapy,adjuanvt and neoadjuvant therapies for rectal cancer in recent 5 years.

Purpose:To study the influence of chemotherapy on radiotherapy in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods:96 patients with histologically proven nasopharyngeal carcinoma in stages Ⅲ,Ⅳ were divided randomly into two groups. Radiotherapy group (48 cases) only received radiotherapy with DT66—76Gy in nasopharynx and DT50—70Gy in the neck. Chemoradiotherapy group (48 cases) received chemotherapy with cisplatin and 5 fluorouracil before the same radiotherapy as the radiotherapy only group. Results:The 1,3,5 year survival rates were 94.2%,72.9%,65.7% in chemoradiotherapy group and 89.1%,56.8 %,46.8% in radiotherapy group respectively, with significant difference between the two groups ( P

C erbB 2 is overexpressed in 20%～30% of human breast cancers,this oncoprotein plays an important role in predicting response to chemotherapy in breast cancer.Overexpression of c erbB 2 in breast cancer is associated with resistance or sensitivity to certain chemo therapeutic drugs, c erbB 2 can be expected to be a biological marker to direct chemotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer.

Purpose:To study the expression and clinical significance of nm23 protein in human breast carcinoma.Methods:The expression of nm23 were detected by immunohistochemical S P methods in tissue samples from 65 cases of breast carcinoma with full follow up .Their prognostic value was analyzed by Cox regression model.Results:Positive expression of nm23 was 55.4% in the 65 breast carcinoma specimens. In the total number of patients, the 5 year overall survival rate(OS) and disease free survival rate(DFS) were 63.1% and 52.3%,respectively. Expression of nm23 was negatively associated with distant metastasis( P =0.0003) and positively with DFS and OS( P =0.0034, P =0.0001). In both monovariate Kaplan Meier plot and multivariate Cox regression analysis, the axillary lymph node status and expression of nm23 were two important prognostic factors of breast carcinoma. The hazard ratios of axillary lymph node status and expression of nm23 were 3.1046 and 0.3704, respectively. Conclusions:In breast carcinoma, secondary to the axillary lymph node status, the expression of nm23 could be an independent prognosticator, which would be helpful in selecting the high risk cases for further treatment.

Objective To investigate the relationship among IGF-II expression and cell proliferation and apoptosis in human colorectal adenocarcinoma. Methods 60 paraffin embedded samples of human colorectal adenocarcinomas were used in this study. IGF-ⅡmRNA expression was detected by in situ hybridization, proliferation cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) protein was measured by immunohistochemical staining and apoptosis was determined by TUNEL technology. Fifteen normal colorectal tissues were used as controls. Computerized image analysis system qualitatively analyzed the positive ratio of above three indices in the cancer and normal tissues. Results The percentage of IGF-ⅡmRNA expression was significantly higher in colorectal adenocarcinoma (39.64%?7.32%) than that in normal colorectal tissues (23.21%?4.10%) (P

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods Sixty-five patients with first-ever acute cerebral infarction and 32 healthy controls were recruited. The neurological deficits in patients with cerebral infarction were evaluated by using Chinese Stroke Scale (CSS).Plasma BNP levels were detected by immunofluorescence technique. Death and recurrent stroke events were followed up. Plasma BNP levels were compared between an event group and a non-event group, and the relationship between plasma BNP levels and poor prognosis was analyzed.Results Plasma BNP levels in patients with acute cerebral infarction was significantly higher than those in healthy controls (238.7 ± 131.6 pg/ml vs 38.7±23.8 pg/ml, P <0.01). Nine patients (13.8%) died, and 8 (12.3%) had nonfatal recurrent stroke during the follow-up period. Compared to the non-event group, the baseline plasma BNP levels in the death/recurrent stroke event group were significantly higher (304.0 ± 134.9 pg/ml vs 214.4 ± 120.9 pg/ml,P < 0.01). There was significant correlation between plasma BNP levels and CSS scores (r = -0.359, P <0.05). After performing multivariate analysis of various risk factors, it found that BNP levels (OR = 3.5, 95 % CI 2.1 to 5.8, P < 0.01), advanced age (OR = 4.1,95% CI 1.7 to 9.2, P <0.01) and CSS scores (OR =2.6, 95% CI 1.6 to 4.3, P <0.01)were the independent predictors of poor outcome. Conclusions The increased BNP levels are the recent death and recurrent independent predictors in patients with acute cerebral infarction.
