A 13 years old girl came to our department with complaints of multiple ulcerating and non-ulcerating nodules on her back and buttocks since 1 month prior to visit. Skin biopsy specimen showed diffuse monomorphous infiltration of leukemic cells in the dermis and subcutis. Bone marrow biopsy specimen showed changes of erythroleukemia. Treatment was initiated with combined chemotherapy which was a combination of cytosine arabinoside, adriamyein and 6 thioguanine. When combined chemotherapy was finished, she was in complete remission state and the nodules cured after 1 month of combined chemotherapy.

Objective To compare the therapeutic efficacies and toxicities either of pemetrexed or paclitaxel combined with oxaliplatin as a chemotherapy in postoperative with non‐small‐cell lung cancer(NSCLC) .Methods The clinical data collected from 86 patients who admitted into the first affiliated hospital of Kunming medical university from January 2010 to December 2011 who had been diagnosed with non‐small‐cell lung cancer(NSCLC) were retrospectively analyzed .All of these patients received the radical resection of pulmonary carcinoma ,in which 65 patients received pemetrexed combined with oxaliplatin treatment(named as peme‐trexed combination group) .Another 40 patients were treated with paclitaxel combined with oxaliplatin (named as paclitaxel combi‐nation group) .Survival analysis was evaluated by Kaplan‐Merie .Single factor analysis and COX regression model were employed to analyze the relationship between the influencing factors and the prognosis of disease .Results We found that neither OS (χ2 =0 .648 ,P=0 .421) nor PFS(χ2 =0 .758 ,P=0 .384)was statistical different between two groups .However ,the incidence of leucope‐nia above Ⅲ degrees was 34 .8% in pemetrexed combination group ,and 60 .0% in paclitaxel combination group(χ2 = 5 .469 ,P=0 .019) .The incidence of of ALT increase above Ⅲ degrees was 12 .2% in pemetrexed combination group ,and 35 .0% in paclitaxel combination group(χ2 =7 .238 ,P=0 .007) .The incidence of AST increase rate above Ⅲ degrees was 13 .0% in pemetrexed combi‐nation group and 32 .5% in paclitaxel combination group(χ2 = 4 .706 ,P= 0 .030) .The incidence of neurotoxicity was 28 .2% in pemetrexed combined group ,65 .0% in paclitaxel combined group (χ2 = 11 .652 ,P= 11 .652) .The incidence of gastrointestinal tract reaction above Ⅲ degrees was 47 .8% in pemetrexed combined group ,57 .5% in paclitaxel combined group was ,(χ2 = 0 .803 , P=0 .370) .Cox regression analysis revealed that PS score(HR=0 .207 ,95% CI:0 .090-0 .479) and clinical stages(HR=0 .089 , 95% CI:0 .041-0 .191) had significant effects on survival of patients .Conclusion Two kinds of treatment in two groups showed the similar curative effects and promised to be first‐line chemotherapy strategy for postoperative patients with NSCLC .However , the pemetrexed combined group showed less drug toxicity compared with that of the paclitaxel combined group .

Objective To understand the quality of care for disabled elderly persons in ethnic areas and its influencing factors.Methods A questionnaire survey was carried out using multi-stage stratified random cluster sampling method for the disabled elderly persons in ethnic minority areas,and the relevant factors affecting the quality of care were analyzed.Results The object with different regions,ethnicity,marital status,residence and social support condition,education degrees,health status,the degree of disabilities affecting their life,occupations,income showed different scores in each dimension of care quality.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that other ethnic people with disabilities,unmarried,unemployed/laidoff people with disabilities,disabilities extremely influenced the quality of life affected the total score of care quality.Conclusions To improve the financial aid for disabled elderly people in ethnic areas,attach great importance to the physical and mental care of unmarried disabled elderly people,perfect and establish effective handicapped rehabilitation mechanism,can improve the care quality of disabled elderly people.

Objective To explore the training demand among clinical medical postgraduate students.Methods Focus Group Discussions and a research interview,two of the qualitative study methods were applied among medical students of a hospital.Results Different clinical medical postgraduate students need different levels training.The demand status related to the students' training styles.Students had desire to receive kinds of help of hospital administrative authority.Conclusion Training guide is importance during the growth of clinical medical postgraduate students.Hospital administrative authority should afford manifold ways to satisfy the demand of students for their training.

Under the extreme change of the environment, animals react physiologically to adapt to the stress and secrete catecholamines. Cold exposure is a kind of the environmental stress. Author tried to determine the amount of catecholamines in rat urine as a parameter of physiological response to cold stress. Urinary catecholamine was measured by using HPLC with fluorescence detector, coation exchange column prepacked with Bio-Rex 70 and ammonium pentaborate as catecholamine eluent. The amount of dopamine in normal state rat urine was 42.0 ng, but under the low temperature of 5 degrees C, the dopamine amount was increased to 221.25 ng/5 ml. Above findings are suggesting that catecholamine secretion, especially dopamine, increase in the stressful condition such as cold exposure.

Ninety black C 57 BL mice were divided into control and photochemotherapy groups. Control group was subdivided into a UVA 1rradiation only subgroup and a khellin only administration subgroup, while the phototherapy group was subdivided into one TMP and two khellin administration subgroups with dosages of 1.5mg/kg, 5mg/kg and 20mg/kg, respectivly. UVA was administered three thimes a week in a dose of 4J/cm for 4 weeks. Skin biopsies were taken at 0, l, 2, 3 and 4 weeks and the split DOPA stain was employed to observe pigment production. The number, size and circumference of the melanocytes were assessed. In summary, our results inclicate that khellin, which is slightly less effective than TMP at the same effective dose, is quite effective for pigment production and the degree of the production is dose related.

We present a case of carcinoma erysipelatoides which or iginated from an internal organ. The patient was a 50 year-old female who had peritoneal carcinomatosis, She presented an erythematous lesion resembling erysipelas on her right breast. Histopathologic findings were consistent with metastatic adenocarcinoma but clinically it was not associated with carcinoma of the breast.

The origin of the stromal cell of cerebellar hemangioblastoma has long been studied electron microscopically and immunohistochemically. The results and theories about the stromal cell origin are variable and plentiful. However, the exact origin of the stromal cell remains controversial. The present study is aimed to elucidate the nature of the stromal cell of cerebellar hemangioblastoma. Ten cases of hemangioblastoma in Severance Hospital were used for immunohistochemical analysis of the stromal cell. The immunohistochemical staining of GFAP, S-100 protein, NSE, alpha-l-antichymottypsin, cytokeratin, CD 68, factor VIII related antigen, and synaptophysin were performed. The results were as follows; GFAP and S-100 protein were stained mainly but weakly in bellar capillary spindle cell and cellular process. NSE was stained mainly in foam cells, and 6 cases among them revealed strong reaction. ct-l-antichymotrypsin was stained in a few foam cells of 5 cases. Cytokeratin, CD 68, factor VIII related antigen, and synaptophysin showed negative reaction. Based on these results, it is considered that the origin of the stromal cell is histiocytic or neurogenic rather than glial. The weak positivity of GFAP and S-100 protein may support the neurogeriic origin but ct-l-antichymotrypsin positivity does not support the possibility. The positivity of GAP and S-100 protein supports the phagocytic action of histiocytic cell and suggests histiocytic origin rather than neurogenic.
