Objective To explore the relapse,therapeutic effect,risk and prognostic factors of the pulmonary invasive fungal disease(IFD)in patients with a history of pulmonary IFD following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT).Methods Fourteen patients with a history of pulmonary IFD received allo-HSCT between March 2005 and October 2006.Before transplantation,10 patients obtained complete remission(CR)and 4 partial remission(PR)after antifungal therapy.Antifungal prophylaxis was initiated on the first day of the conditioning therapy.Logistic regression models were used for multivariable analyses.Results The relapse rate of pulmonary IFD after allo-HSCT was 71.43%(10/14).Of 10 patients in CR,6 relapsed and all four patients in PR relapsed.Seven patients relapsed less than 3 months and 3 relapsed between four and six months after transplantation.Among the 10 patients with a history of IFD who relapsed after transplantation,9 patients received antifungal therapy,4 obtained CR,2 PR again and the other 3 didn't obtain remission.The effective rate of anti-fungal therapy was 66.67% and the pulmonary IFD-related mortality was 35.71%(5/14).There was no significant difference between amphotericin B,itraconazde and voriconazole for antifungal prophylaxis in patients with a history of pulmonary IFD(P=0.122).No risk and prognostic factors of the pulmonary IFD was identified by multivariable analyses.Conclusion Pulmonary was not an absolute contraindication for allo-HSCT,and patients with a history of pulmonary IFD had a higher relapse rate and transplant-related mortality after receiving allo-HSCT.

Objective To estimate the effects ot rosiglitazone on cultured HaCaT human keratinocytes and their possible mechanism.Methods HaCaT cells were cultured and treated with different concentrations ( 10,20,40,80 μ mol/L) of rosiglitazone or solvent for 24,48,72 and 96 hours,respectively.Cell proliferation was detected with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay.Western blot was performed to measure the protein expression of β-catenin and cyclin D1.Results Compared with the solvent-treated cells,the proliferation of HaCaT cells was significantly inhibited by 18.9％,23.7％,35.1％ and 44.6％ (all P＜ 0.05) after treatment with rosiglitazone of 10,20,40 and 80 μmol/L,respectively,for 48 hours.The expressions of β-catenin and cyclin D 1 were significantly lower in rosiglitazone-treated HaCaT cells than in solvent-treated cells (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Rosiglitazone could inhibit the proliferation of HaCaT cells,likely by downregulating the expressions of β-catenin and cyclin D 1.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of preserving the intercostobrachial nerve (ICBN) in the radical resection of breast cancer. Method All of 140 cases of breast cancer with Ⅰ - Ⅲ a stage operable eligible,were randomly divided into the experimental group with 79 cases (7 cases were rejected, 1 case was lost) that patients received radical resection of breast cancer with preservation of ICBN,and the control group with 61 cases (2 cases were lost) that patients received routine radical resection of breast cancer based on the time of admission. Analyzed postoperative local recurrence and compared to sensory dysfunction of the two groups. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups of patients in the rate of postoperative local recurrence [0-4.2% ( 3/71 ) vs. 0-3.4% (2/59)] ( P ＞ 0.05 ). The local sensory disturbance of the experimental group [2.8% (2/71 )-11.3% (8/71)] was significantly lower than the control group [54.2%(32/59)-71.2%(42/59)], there was significant difference between the two groups (P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusion Radical resection of breast cancer with preservation of ICBN is an ideal operation in breast cancer.

Objective To understand the status of Clonorchis sinensis infection and its risk factors in Futian District Shen?zhen City so as to provide the evidence for formulating the strategy of prevention and control. Methods Two monitoring points were randomly selected and the permanent population aged≥3 years were investigated and their stool samples were detected for the eggs of C. sinensis by using Kato?Katz technique. Meanwhile the risk factors of infection were also investigated. Results A total of 743 subjects were examined and 7 persons were infected with C. sinensis and the infection rate was 0.94%. Most of the infected cases were focused on 20?40 and 40?60 age groups. The risk factors were eating raw or semi?cooked fish and the protec?tive factor was the use of separated cutting board for cooked or uncooked food. Conclusion The infection rate of C. sinensis is low in the population of Futian District. However the health education especially for diet health education still should be strengthened.

BACKGROUND: The role of p53 gene in human lung cancer has been confirmed. Since the discovery of p63 gene as the homologue of p53, its role and possible mechanism-have aroused the attention of investigators all over the world. But the principle concerning transcription and expression of p63 in small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) remains unclear.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the level of the expression of p63 gene in SCLC and lung adenocarcinoma tumor tissues, peri-carcinoma tissues and normal tissues, and observe the expression of p63 protein in these tissues so as to understand the principle and clinical significance concerning p63gene expression in SCLC and lung adenocarcinoma.DESIGN: Controlled experiment.SETTING: Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Research Institute of Field Surgery of Daping Hospital of Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Six SCLC specimens dissected during the surgical operation in Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical Univers ity of Chinese PLA, between October 2000 and September 2002 , were recruited. There were 4 male and 2 female patients aged 42 to 67 years (mean age of 50.7years); 15 specimens of lung adenocarcinoma were also collected at the same time. Tumor tissues, peri-carcinoma tissues and normal tissues were chosen in each specimen.METHODS: Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)was used to detect and compare the transcription expression of two subtypes of p63 gene (TAP63 and △NP63)in the tumor tissues of 6 cases of SCLC and 15 cases of lung adenocarcinoma. At the same time, immunohistochemical staining technique was used to detect the expression of p63protein in the above tissues.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Expression of p63 protein detected by RT-PCR in tissue specimens. ② Expression of p63 protein detected in tissue specimens detected by immunohistochemical staining technique.RESULTS: ① Expression of p63 protein detected by RT-PCR in tissue specimens: The positive expression of △Np63 gene could be found in 5cases (83%, 5/6) of SCLC cancer tissues and 1 case of SCLC peri-carcinoma tissues (17%, 1/6), and the expression of TAp63 was not observed in all of the tumor, peri-carcinoma and normal tissues of SCLC. There was no expression of △Np63 or TAp63 in tumor, peri-carcinoma and normal tissues of lung adenocarcinoma. ② Expression of p63 protein detected by immunohistochemical staining in tissue specimens: The positive expression rate of p63 protein in SCLC tumor tissues was significantly higher than that in lung adenocarcinoma tissues [83% (5/6), 17% (1/6), P ＜ 0.01].CONCLUSION: p63 gene shows positive expression in SCLC, among which the expression level of △NP63 is increased while the expression level of p63 protein is obviously higher in SCLC than in adenocarcinoma tissues, which may be related to its regulatory role in the occurrence and development of SCLC. It is presumed that△NP63 gene has high transcription expression level in SCLC, which might inhibit cellular apoptosis, promote the proliferation of tumors, play the role as an oncogene. It suggests that p63 may be one of the factors influencing the prognosis of SCLC.

Objective To investigate the distribution of nail disorders in patients with a chief complaint of nail abnormalities. Methods From May 2007 to May 2010, patients who attended the dermatology outpatient clinic with a chief complaint of nail abnormalities were included in this study. Routine dermatological examination together with fungal culture, microscopic and pathological examination of affected nails was carried out to clarify the diagnosis of nail disorders. The results were statistically analyzed. Results Of the 2776 cases,onychomycosis accounted for 45.28% (1257), followed by paronychia (479, 17.26%) and psoriasis (122,4.39%). Conclusion In this region, patients with a chief complaint of nail disorders are most likely to suffer from nail infections.
