Gastrointestinal stromal tumor( CIST) is the most common form of mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. Most GISTs characteristically harbor activating mutations of c-kit or PDCFRA( platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha, PDGFRA). All CISTs should be regarded having malignant potential. Tumor size and mitotic count, as two basic progonstic factors for primary CISTs, are largely site dependent. Most c-kit mutations have been found in exon 11,9,13,17 while PDGFRA mutations re found in exon 18,12,14.The sites and types of mutions are associated with the prognosis of CIST. Histopathology and immunohistochem-istry are another two factors predicting tumor outcome.

Natural killer group 2,member D (NKG2D) is a C-typelectin-like activating receptors on natural killer cells surface. NKG2D engaging with the ligands on tumor cells surface can eliminate tumor cells. However,there must exist immune escape mechanisms in tumor mice and cancer patients. Recently, molecular biological techniques are used to regulate the expression of the receptors and ligands to break the immune evasion.

Objective　To evaluate the effects of the excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for treatment of high myopia.Methods　LASIK was performed on 308 eyes of 186 patients who were followed up for one year. The patients were divided into two groups (group A and group B) according to preoperative diopters.Results　One year after surgery, in group A(-6.0～-10.0D) the uncorrected visual acuities of 0.5 and 1.0 were in 95.76% and 77.58% of the eyes, the mean residual refraction was -0.32D±0.46D. In group B(-10.25～-20.0D) the uncorrected visual acuities of 0.5 and 1.0 were in 62.24% and 37.06% of the eyes, the mean residual refraction was -0.92D±1.13D.Conclusion　It is an effective and safe refraction surgery to correct high myopia with LASIK.

Conclusion P3a and P3b are good objective indexes for testing the descent of cognitive function in patients with VCI,which can provide reference basis for the clinical diagnosis.

This paper reviews the long-term care policy in Japan and discusses successes and challenges in order to provide policy guidelines for China. All Japanese adults aged 65 or over are covered by the long-term care in-surance ( LTCI) program and are eligible for both in-home and institutional-care services following a thorough, sys-tematic care certification process. The program is financed by a mix of general tax revenues from the three levels of gov-ernment , income-tested premiums, and standardized co-payments. A key success of the policy is its universal and compre-hensive coverage. Notwithstanding this success, increasing costs remain a challenge as Japan’s population ages and the number of LTCI users increases. Learning from the experience of Japan, China should establish a long-term care system, which covers all the aged population, mainly focuses on in-home care, and qualifies social funding to invest.

Objective To explore the potential risk of category Ⅱ fetal heart rate(FHR) tracing according to the latest electron-ic fetal monitoring tracings .Methods The prenatal fetal heart rate tracings in 400 parturients with hospitalized delivery in this hos-pital from November 2011 to October 2012 were classified by category .Among them ,the pregnancy outcomes were compared be-tween the category Ⅰ FHR tracings(control group) and category Ⅱ FHR tracings(observation group) .Results The case number of meconium-staining amniotic fluid ,cesarean rate ,hypamniony and umbilical cord abnormality was significantly higher than that of the control group with statistical difference between the two groups (P<0 .05);the case number of neonatal asphyxia ,aging of pla-centa and neonatal death had no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0 .05);among the groups with various fetal heart monitoring abnormalities ,the rate of meconium-staining amniotic fluid in the decreased variation group was significantly higher than that in the fetal tachycardia group ,the difference showing statistical significance (P<0 .05);the rate of meconium-staining amniotic fluid in the fetal tachycardia group was significantly higher than that in the prolonged acceleration and ineffective acceleration group with statistical difference (P< 0 .05);the pregnant outcomes had no statistical differences among the other groups .Conclusion Compared with the category Ⅰ FHR tracings ,the category Ⅱ FHR tracings indicate a potential risk to the fetus ,which need to strengthen the prenatal and intrapartum fetal monitoring .
