Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare endocrine tumor.Clinical manifestations are varied with multiple organs involved,mainly due to hypercalcemia.So far the etiology and pathogenesis of parathyroid carcinoma are still unclear and preoperatively diagnosis is difficult.Technetium-99 m sestamibi scan and ultrasound can help to find the early lesions.Complete surgical resection with suspicious involved lymph nodes is the recommended treatment.Parathyroid carcinoma is insensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.New immune therapy yields unsure efficacy.Therapeutic effect and prognosis mainly depend on primary surgical resection of the tumor.The disease recurs in more than 50％ of patients with poor prognosis.

Antithyroid drugs(ATD)is the main treatment for hyperthyroidism and its adverse reactions have been much concerned by physicians. Methimazole(MMI)and propylthiouracil(PTU)are the two common antitithyroid drugs used currently. Generally, the ATD are safe and effective, though their clinical adverse reactions are also relatively common. The toxic effects include liver damage and leukocytopenia, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated pulmonary small-vessel vasculitis, hypoglycemia, allergic reactions, muscle impairment,and so on. They are usually reversible and disappear spontaneously when the drug is discontinued. However,the serious rare side effects can also occur and there may have potentially deadly threatening effects which need to be cautious for the clinicians. MMI is usually preferred over PTU because it has significantly fewer side effects. And unlike the dose-dependent side effects of MMI, there has no significant correlation between adverse reaction and drug dosage in using PTU. Moreover, PTU has more severe hepatotoxity than MMI, even fatal liver impairment and liver failure. The risk of liver damage from PTU is an important concern, particularly in children. For this reason, MMI is the first choice for treating children with hyperthyroidism.

Objective:To improve the work of drug quality sampling and testing. Methods:The regulation of testing related work in Drug Quality Sampling and Testing Regulation was analyzed and discussed. Results and Conclusion: Some suggestions were pro-vided in order to improve the regulation of testing work in Drug Quality Sampling and Testing Regulation.

Objective To explore the change of serum procalcitonin (PCT)in infectious diseases and the relationship between PCT and the severity of illness in children.Methods This was a single-center prospective study of serum procalcitonin concentration in children with infectious diseases.Ninty-five children with infectious diseases (mycoplasma infection 30 cases,viral infection 30 cases,bacterial infection 35 cases),hospitalized in PICU of Shengjing Hospital from April 2011 to April 2013,were divided into three groups:non-serious group(64 cases),serious group(20 cases)and very serious group(11 cases)according to pediatric critical illness score(PCIS).Bacterial infectious patients were divided into two groups:gram positive bacterial group(20cases),gram negative bacterial group(15 cases).Twenty children of non-infectious diseases during the same period were selected as the control group.Serum PCT levels were detected by using VIDAS BRAHMS PCT detection system(rapid semi-quantitative PCT test).Laboratory detection was conducted in Department of Laboratory Medicine,Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University.Results The serum PCT levels of the control,the bacterial infection,virus infection,and mycoplasma infection group were (0.41 ± 0.34) μg/L,(2.56 ± 0.38)μg/L,(0.52 ±0.44) μg/L and(0.21 ±0.10) μg/L.The serun PCT levels higher than or equal to 0.5 μg/L were defirned as positive.There was significant difference in PCT positive rate between bacterial infection group and the control grouP(x2 =28.05,P ＜0.05).The serum PCT levels of children with infectious diseases were higher than those of non-infection group,mycoplasma infection group and virus infection group(P ＜ 0.05).Besides,the PCT value of gram negative bacillus infection group was also obvious higher than gram positive infection group.There was no significant difference among the non-infection group,mycoplasma infection group and virus infection group(P ＞ 0.05).There was significant negative correlation between the serum PCT concentration and the PCIS score in children with infectious diseases (r =-0.579 ～-0.793,P ＜ 0.05).The higher concentration of PCT in children with the infectious diseases indicated higher severity illness scores,more complications,and longer length of hospital stay.Conclusions PCT may provide an informative and sensitive molecular marker for pathogen identification (bacterial infection,pneumonia mycoplasma infection or viral infection).In the early diagnosis of infectious disease,PCT assay can help predict the severity of the disease.

Objective To provide the basis for determining the suitable collecting time of safflower. Methods To measure the contents of saflor yellow-A in safflower crude drug from different collecting time in one day by HPLC. Results Only saflor yellow-A has big change. By experimental analyzing samples of different year and region, A bright time collecting in the flok, the content of saflor yellow-A in medicine assured higher. Conclusion A bright time collecting has some scientific basis.

Objective To analyze the clinical significance of aberrant hepatic artery which originated from superior mesenteric artery in liver cancer and gastric cancer operations.Method Four hundred liver cancer patients who underwent digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and multislice spiral computed tomography angiography (MSCTA) and 86 gastric cancer patients who underwent MSCTA between June 2008 and June 2010 and operated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University were included in this study.Preoperatively,the origins of the aberrant hepatic arteries from superior mesenteric arteries were detected by medical imaging.Postoperatively,immunohistochemistry of lymphoid tissues around the aberrant hepatic arteries of the gastric cancer patients were performed using recombinant human cytokeratin 20 (CK20) and carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) to determine the incidence of lymph node metastases around the aberrant arteries.Results Among 486 patients,49 patients with liver cancer and 14 patients with gastric cancer had an aberrant hepatic artery which originated from the superior mesenteric artery.The rate was 12.96％ (63/486).The hepatic artery ran in front of the pancreas in 2 patients (3.17％) and behind the pancreas in 61 patients (96.83％).Immunohistochemical analyses of CK20 and CEA were negative which revealed no metastases in the lymphoid tissues surrounding the aberrant arteries.Conclusions Aberrant hepatic artery originated from the superior mesenteric artery can be classified into the pre-pancreas type and postpancreas type.The majority of aberrant hepatic artery belonged to the post-pancreas type.The clinical significance of aberrant hepatic artery is that the hepatic hilar lymph nodes should be dissected in liver cancer and gastric cancer operations.
