Chromosome 22qll deletion syndrome(22q11DS) is a common chromosomal microdeletion syndrome. Its clinical manifestation is complex, comprising congenital heart disease, dysmorphic facial, immunodeficiency, endocrine dysfunction and so on. The syndrome has a population prevalence of approximately 1/2500-1/4000. There have been many recent advances in understanding of the clinical manifestation, behavior and psychiatric problems and the mechanisms leading to the specific phenotypic features in chromosome 22q11 deletion syndrome. Asymmetric recombination of homologous low copy repetitives in the deletion region causes the deletion of 22q11. TBX1 is the dominant gene contributing to the phenotype.

The immune microenvironment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is mainly composed of tumor-associated macrophages, myeloid-derived suppressor cells and other cellular components, as well as extracellular components, such as cytokines, growth factors and extracellular matrix, etc. In China, most liver cancer patients are complicated with chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis. Immune microenvironment promotes the incidence and progression of HCC, immune escape and treatment resistance, and exerts immunosuppressive effect. In recent years, significant progress has been made in immunotherapy for systemic treatment of HCC, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, in the KEYNOTE-240 and CheckMate 459 trials, anti-PD-1 therapy with nivolumab or pembrolizumab as a single drug failed to reach the expected overall survival endpoint. At present, it is urgent to deepen the understanding of immune microenvironment of HCC and explore novel therapies to improve clinical efficacy of ICIs. Currently, the combination of ICIs with other therapies (such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies or local therapy) has been proven to improve the efficiency of single ICIs. In this article, research progress in immune microenvironment, immunotherapy and immune combined with targeted therapy for HCC was reviewed.

Objective To assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of gatifloxacin gel to bacterial conjunctivitis. Methods Double-blind and random selection were designed for the study,with levofloxacin gel as the control medicine.Thirty-six eyes of the experimental group and 36 of the control group were eligible for evaluation.Each eye received the gel one drop a time and three times per day.The gels were applied to the conjunctiva sac for 7 d. Results The clinic effectiveness of experimental group and control group were 88.89% and 91.67%,which indicated no significant difference.Microbial eradication rates were 90.48% and 93.75%,no significant difference either.Safety composite scores were similar between groups. Conclusion Gatifloxacin ophthalmic gel is safe and effective for treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis,and contains certain clinical value.

Objective To investigate pregnancy complications,cesarean delivery and abnormal fetal presentation in women with uterine anomalies.Methods Fifty women diagnosed with uterine malformation and sixty women with normal uterus were retrospectively analyzed .Results The group comprised women with uterine malformation had significantly higher stillbirth or fetal death (P <0.05) and lower rates of the full-term delivery(P <0.05) than that of the control group.The subgroup comprised women with uterine anomalies had significantly higher rates of cesare -an section(P <0.05) and abnormal fetal position(P <0.05) than the control group.The birth weight and length of infant in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (P <0.05).The rate of placenta abnormalities in uterine anomalies was significantly higher than that in control group (P <0.05).The incidences of premature rupture of membrane,cord entanglement,oligohydramnios,postpartum hemorrhage and neonatal asphyxia in observation group were no significant difference than those in control group .The rate of premature rupture of membrane(PROM) in uterus unicornis was significantly higher than that in other types (P <0.05).Conclusion Compared with women with normal uterus ,the incidences of abnormal fetal position ,the placenta abnormalities,pre-mature delivery,and stillbirth or fetal death in women with congenital uterine anomalies are high .Uterine anomalies are associated with a decrease in the birth weight and length .We should pay more attention to finding the uterine malformation and treatment before pregnancy .Antenatal care should be reinforced in pregnancy women with uterine anomalies.

Tremendous success has emerged in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy over the past few years, especially in leukemia and lymphoma. The first CAR-T cell product might be available in America in 2017 due to the emergence of the critical results. This paper focused on the key data presented at the 58th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting.

Objective To analyze retrospectively MRI features of ectopic pregnancy correlated with pathology.Methods Eleven patients with pathologically proved ectopic pregnancy were enrolled in this study:one with cornual pregnancy,six with interstitial pregnancy,two with tubal isthmus pregnancy,one with ampullary pregnancy,and one with primary abdominal pregnancy.Six under-went MRI plain scan,and five underwent MRI both plain scan and enhancement scan.We evaluated the location,the size,the signal intensity of the gestational sac (GS),vessels around the GS,dilatation tubal,hematosalpinx and hemoperitoneum.Changes of the thickness of the endometrium,functional ovarian cysts and ovarian corpus luteum were also evaluated.Results Among these eleven patients,GSs were detected in ten patients.The locations of the GSs on MRI were corresponding with the results of surgical explora-tion.GS was not detected in only one patient with tubal pregnancy,but hematosalpinx and pelvic hematocele could be seen in MRI. Conclusion MRI is an effective modality for evaluating GS and its adjacent organs.The imaging features of GS and other indirect signs can be helpful to the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy on MRI.

Objective　To investigate the effect of placental isoferritin in pathogenesis of preeclampsia and its predictive value. Methods　A prospective double-blinded study was performed. There were 120 initial normal pregnant women at earlier third trimester (from 24 to 34 weeks) in this study. Their plasma placental isoferritin and nitric oxide (NO) metabolites (nitrite/nitrate) (NO2-/NO3-) were examined by enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) and Griess assay respectively. The outcomes of pregnancies were followed up. Results　In 120 initial normal pregnant women, 19 pregnant women occurred preeclampsia (preeclampsia group), and 101 cases were normal (normal group) at follow up. The levels of plasma placental isoferritin (PLF) were significantly decreased in preeclampsia group (285.31±53.73 mg/L) than that of normal group (699.05±203.03) mg/L, P＜0.01. The levels of plasma NO were significantly increased in preeclampsia group (54.57±32.71 μmol/L) than that of normal group (38.89±30.00) μmol/L, P＜0.05. The significant negative correlation between the plasma placental isoferritin and NO levels was observed（r=0.329，P<0.01）. At the cut point of 400 mg/L PLF level, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and Kappa index of PLF level predicting on the outcomes of pregnancy with preeclampsia were 100%, 85.15%, 55.88%, 100%, 0.645. Conclusions　 The decrease of plasma placental isoferritin levels is associated with preeclampsia, and the endothelial cell damage may be one of its mechanism. The PLF may be an earlier predictor of preeclampsia at 24～34 gestational weeks.

Objective To establish a high performance liquid chromatography method for simultaneous determination of 10 kinds of phthalates in cosmetics. Methods 10 kinds of phthalates were separated on a C18 column using methanol-water as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min, 25℃ column temperature and 280 nm detection wave. Results The detection limit of 10 kinds of phthalates were 0.1-7 mg/L. The precision was less than 3.95% and recovery rates varied from 98.59% to 108.07%. Conclusion The experimental results show that the method is simple, precise and accurate and suitable to simultaneous determination of 10 kinds of phthalates in cosmetics.
