Focal adhesion kinase(FAK),the non-receptor tyrosine kinase,has been implicated in regulating a number of fundamental biological signal transudation pathways that control cell proliferation,survival,adhesion,motility.Many researches have reported that FAK highly expressed in many cancers and involved in the process of cancer development,such as initial,progress,metastasis,multi-drug resistance of cancer.FAK has been the hotpot in cancer research,and it will be a new target in cancer therapy.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors of prognosis in children with brain trauma.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 125 cases diagnosed as brain trauma in PICU of Shengjing Hospital affiliated to China Medical University from January 2009 to December 2014.The risk factors influencing prognosis were analyzed by using single factor analysis and multiple factors Logistic regression methods.The risk factors included Glasgow coma score (GCS) on admission,blood glucose,lactic acid,prothrombin time,international normalized ratio (INR),serum sodium,serum potassiumin,pulse within 24 hours after admission,gender,age,time for therapy,shock,respiratory failure,cerebral hermia and surgery.Results Eighty-four cases survived and 41 cases died.The fatality rate was 32.8％.T test and chi-square test of risk factors showed that GCS score,blood glucose,blood lactic acid,INR,respiratory failure,shock had a significant influence on the prognosis of brain trauma in children (P ＜ 0.05).Multviariable Logistic regression analysis showed that GCS score,blood glucose,blood lactic acid,respiratory failure were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of brain trauma (OR =7.434,0.473,0.615,0.000,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Pediatric brain trauma has a rapid progress and poor prognosis with high mortality and disability rate.GCS score,blood sugar,blood lactic acid,respiratory failure are independent risk factors for prognosis of brain trauma in children.

Objective To study the changes of serum procaleitonin(PCT) in the children with acute liver failure,and to investigate the relationship between PCT and severity and prognosis of acute liver failure.Methods A retrospective analysis of 24 children with acute liver failure admitted in Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University from October 2010 to November 2013 was performed.The changes of serum PCT,blood routine,C-reactive protein,blood culture,virus,Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody,blood ammonia,serum alaninetransaminase,serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase,international normalized ratio and prothrombin time level were observed.Results The serum PCT of children with acute liver failure originally increased at different degree.The serum PCT of 21 cases was more than 0.5 μg/L.The dynamic monitoring results of serum PCT in 6 cases on day 1,day 3,and day 8 were (12.55 ± 13.65) μg/L,(5.62 ±8.12) μg/L,(0.15 ± 0.26)μg/L,respectively,which showed decrease tendency.In 24 children with acute liver failure,serum PCT,international normalized ratio,blood ammonia of survival cases were significantly decreased compared with death cases[(28.37 ±60.22) μg/L vs(12.24 ± 14.76) μg/L;4.28 ± 2.50 vs 3.16 ±1.41 ; (213.30 ± 185.87) μmol/L vs (128.89 ± 102.17) μmol/L] (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Acute liver failure could increase the levels of serum PCT.Serum PCT may be an effective index to evaluate liver function,curative effect and prognosis of patients with acute liver failure.

Objective:To investigate the effect of short term and intensive insulin pump on the blood lipid and glucose levels of patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods:76 patients with type 2 diabetes were selected and divided into two groups according to different administration.The control group (38 cases) was given routine insulin aspart treatment.The observation group (38 cases) was treated by insulin pump.The blood and lipid indexes and ADL score before treatment,at 1 week and 2 weeks after treatment were compared between two groups.Results:After treatment,the levels of FPG,HbAlc,TC,TG and LDL-C were lower than those before treatment and the level of HDL-C was increased in both groups.The levels ofFPG,HbAlc,TC,TG,LDL-C of observation group were lower than those of the control group,and the level of HDL-C of observation group was higher than that of control group (P＜0.05).At 1 week,2 weeks after treatment,the ADL scores of both groups were significantly improved,and the ADL score of observation group was higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Short term intensive insulin pump could significantly improve the blood glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in patients with type 2 diabetes,and improve the ability of daily life.

Objective:To explore the application of metagenomics next generation sequencing(mNGS)in the immunosuppressed children with severe pneumonia and to understand the distribution of pathogens in order to provide reference for early prevention and treatment.Methods:We performed a retrospective analysis of the immunosuppressed children with severe pneumonia who had mNGS reports admitted to PICU according with the enrollment condition from July 2019 to July 2020.The records included general clinical data, traditional detection method report and mNGS results.We evaluated the consistency of the mNGS with the clinical microbiology reports and clinical judgment.Results:Twenty-three patients were enrolled, 15 were male and 8 were female, aging from 28 days to 10 years old, with an average age of(3.67±3.20)years old.Seven cases were cured, 2 were improved, and 14 died.A total of 23 samples were obtained, including 21 blood specimens and 2 bronchoal-veolar lavage fluid specimens.Among the 23 cases, 5 were single infected and 15 were mixed infected.Fungi were detected in 15 cases(65.22%), including 12 cases of Pneumocystis jirovecii, 2 cases of Aspergillus fumigatus and 2 cases of Candida albicans.Virus were detected in 14 cases(60.87%), including cytomegalovirus(CMV) in 10 cases(8 cases with pneumocystis infection), Herpes virus in 3 cases and fine ring virus in 2 cases(1 case with herpes virus infection). Bacteria were detected in 10 cases, including 3 cases of Acinetobacter, 1 case of Klebsiella pneumoniae, 1 case of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, 1 case of Pinocytogenes, 4 cases of Staphylococcus and 1 case of Bacillus licheniformis.There were Mycoplasma in 3 cases with mixed infection.The positive rate and coincidence rate of mNGS were significantly higher than that of the traditional test group( P<0.05). A total of 19 cases were treated with hormone or immunosuppressive agents, and 17 cases were treated for 1 to 6 months when severe pneumonia occurred. Conclusion:Most immunosuppressed children with severe pneumonia are mixed infection.The common pathogens are Pneumocystis jirovecii and CMV.The use of mNGS can significantly improve the pathogen detection rate, effectively guiding the treatment.

OBJECTIVETo compare the quality of cultivated and wild Anemarrhena Rhizome from Yi County (Xiling Zhimu) based on contents analysis of active constituents.

METHODSamples of cultivated Anemarrhena Rhizome from most townships of Yi County were analyzed and compared with wild ones. Six indexes belonged to three kinds active constituents of saponin, flavornoid and polysaccharide were adopted. HPLC-ELSD method with cholesterol as internal standard was adopted to determine the content of sarsasapongenin. HPLC-ELSD method was used to simultaneously determine the contents of anemasaponin C and Anemasaponin A III. Contents of neomangiferin and mangiferin were determined by HPLC-UV method. Total polysaccharide was determined by phenol sulfate method.

RESULTThe mean content of sarsasapongenin in cultivated Anemarrhena Rhizome samples is slightly lower than the wild. The mean contents of anemasaponin C and Anemasaponin A III in cultivated Anemarrhena Rhizome samples are higher than the wild. There is no notable difference of these three index between the cultivated and the wild. The cultivated Anemarrhena Rhizome samples have a lower content of neomangiferin and a higher content of mangiferin than the wild. While the total content of these two flavonoids have no notable difference. The cultivated Anemarrhena Rhizome samples have a higher content of total polysaccharide than the wild samples.

CONCLUSIONContents of active constituents in cultivated Anemarrhena Rhizome from Yi County (Xiling Zhimu) are not notably different with the wild Anemarrhena Rhizome. They have similar good quality as the wild ones.

Objective: To investigate whether elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and neutrophil (NE) in the blood is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer incidence. Methods: From 2006 to 2007, all employees and retirees from Kailuan (Group) Limited liability Corporation were included in this Kailuan Cohort study. The last follow-up date was December 2015. Data on new cases of lung cancer were collected, and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to the relationship between baseline CRP and NE at baseline and risk of lung cancer. Results: A total of 92 735 participants were enrolled in this study. During the follow-up, 850 new cases of lung cancer were identified. All subjects were divided into four groups according to the combination level of CRP and NE at baseline: CRP≤3 mg/L and NE≤4×10⁹/L(Group A), CRP≤3 mg/L and NE>4×10⁹/L(Group B), CRP>3 mg/L and NE≤4×10⁹/L(Group C), CRP>3 mg/L and NE>4×10⁹/L(Group D). The cumulative incidence of lung cancer were 950/100 000, 1 030/100 000, 1 081/100 000 and 1 596/100 000 in these four groups, respectively (P<0.001). Multivariate Cox proportional risk model showed that participants from Group D had an significantly increased 72% risks of lung cancer when compared to Group A (95% CI: 1.40~2.12, P<0.001). Stratified analyses gender showed that males in Group D had higher risk of lung cancer when compared with participants in Group A (HR=1.73, 95% CI: 1.40~2.15, P<0.001). Conclusion Elevated levels of CRP and NE might increase the risk of lung cancer.
