Objective To evaluate the etiology, clinicopathological characteristics, treatment and prognosis of VIN Ⅲ. Methods Thirty-five patients with VIN Ⅲ admitted in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between 1993 and 2008 were analyzed retrospectively. Results All 35 patients attended to hospital with the symptoms of pruritus vulvae and lumps. Among of them, there were 28 (80%) cases whose lesions presented as multiple plaques, while 7 (20%) eases lesion were monofocal.Fifteen out of 35 eases had coexistent with human papillomavirus (HPV) related lesions, and there were the evidence of HPV in 22 patients whose pathologic sections revealed koilocytes. 34 cases (97%) except one received different types of surgical resections, including wide local resection (14/34), simple vulvectomy (16/34) and simple vulvectomy plus perianal skin resection (4/34), while there two cases shown positive cut-edges and one of them received radiotherapy postoperatively. Four out of the 34 cases recurred locally in 2, 4, 6 and 22 months and received surgical treatment again or laser therapy, respectively. The median follow-up period was 66 months ( range 1-166), and none of them were died of the disease itself except one case died of the concurrent cervical cancer. Among 26 cases received the investigation of the quality of life,there were nine cases (35%) suffered from sexual dysfunction after the operation, and one of them received vulvoplasty. Conclusions VIN Ⅲ has good prognosis. The development of VIN Ⅲ may be related to the infection of HPV, because most of them concurrent with HPV diseases. Its primary treatment is surgical resection, while affecting on the quality of life.

Objective To predict clinical chemotherapy sensitivity of primary ovarian cancer by jointing adenosine triphosphate(ATP) - tumor chemo-sensitivity assay(TCA) method in vitro and detection of drug resistance genes, provide reference for clinical treatment. Methods Forty-seven primary epithelial ovarian tumor samples were collected from the patients who received cytoreductive surgery. Viable ovarian cancer cells obtained from malignant tissue were tested for their sensitivity to carboplatin (CBP), cisplatin (DDP), paclitaxel(PTX) and CBP + PTX using ATP-TCA method in vitro; at same time, real-time quantitative PCR was used to analysis BRCA1 and ERCC1 mRNA relative expression in forty-six specimens (1 frozen tumor samples mRNA were not detected due to serious degradation). The relationship between ATP-TCA test results, clinical indicators, and the effectiveness of the joint prediction on clinical chemosensitivity by combining these two methods were statistically analyzed using chi-square test. Results (1)The results showns that three programs of DDP,CBP and PTX + CBP were significantly related with clinical results(P<0.05) in vitro, in which the compliance rate in PTX + CBP program was the highest 83%(39/47) ,and the predictive sensitivity, predictive specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and predictive accurate rate were 90%,71%,84% and 80% ,respectively.PTX + CBP combined in vitro test results was also related with residual tumor size and neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which was more prone to drug resistance with residual tumor larger than 2 cm (P = 0. 023) and with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (P = 0.011). (2) BRCA1 mRNA expression levels in the clinical-resistant group and the clinical-sensitive group was 0.673 ± 2.143 and - 1.436 ± 2.594 (P=0.008), ERCC1 mRNA expression levels in the clinical-resistant group and the clinical-sensitive group was -0.529 ± 1.982 and - 3.188 ±2.601 (P =0.001). There were also significant correlation among the expression levels of BRCA1 ,ERCC1 mRNA and clinical efficacy (P<0.01). (3)ATP-TCA and detection of drug resistance genes combined to predict the clinical application of PTX + CBP resistance may occur in 8/9 cases. Conclusions ATP-TCA may be an ideal method of in vitro drug sensitivity testing method, which could effectively predict clinical chemotherapy sensitivity. Combination of the drug-resistant associated genes detection method and the ATP-TCA method can increase the predictive effectiveness of ovarian cancer chemosensitivity and guide individual chemotherapy of ovarian cancer.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the experience of parents caring for children with congenital heart disease (CHD) .Methods:Qualitative researches on experience of parents caring for children with CHD were retrieved in Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , VIP, WanFang Data, Chinese Biomedical Database, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Joanna Briggs Institute Library and CINAHL by computer from building database to July 2019. The "Australia JBI Critical Appraisal Tool for qualitative studies" was used to evaluation and convergent integration was used to the result integration.Results:A total of 8 researches were included and 29 clear results were extracted. Similar results were summarized into 8 new categories and synthesized into two integrative results. The first integrative result: roles of caregiver grew through self-regulation; the second integrative result: caregivers were with gratitude and hoped to get social support.Conclusions:Nurses should pay attention to mental state of parents of CHD children, provide the necessary care knowledge and skill instruction, help parents to fill the role of caregiver to improve the family-centered care quality in CHD children.

Objective To analyze the prognosis and appropriate treatment modalities of the patients with recurrence of early stage (Ⅰb-Ⅱa) cervical squamous cancer primarily treated with radical hysterectomy. Methods This retrospective study included patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage Ⅰb and Ⅱa recurrent cervical squamous cancer who underwent radical hysterectomy primarily from January 2007 to July 2015. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis were performed to analyze related prognostic factors of overall survival and progression-free survival, which included age, postoperative therapy, the site of recurrence, therapy-free interval (TFI) and treatment modality. The patients who were treated with palliative chemotherapy after recurrence were selected as a subgroup. The responses of palliative chemotherapy were evaluated and analyzed among different factors, included TFI, the site of recurrence and chemotherapy regime. Results Of the 2 071 patients, 116 relapsedⅠb-Ⅱa cervical squamous cancer were included in the study with the average age of (45.6±7.2) years old. 3-year progression-free survival rate and 3-year overall survival rate after recurrence were 30.2% and 42.2%, respectively. Univariate analysis implied that postoperative radiotherapy, recurrence site, TFI and treatment modality were associated with progression-free survival (P<0.05), while postoperative radiotherapy, TFI and treatment modality with overall survival (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that TFI and treatment modality were independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival (P<0.05), while postoperative radiotherapy at initial treatment, TFI and treatment modality were independent prognostic variables for overall survival (P<0.05). In the analysis of treatment modality, 3-year progression-free survival rate and 3-year overall survival rate of 47 patients who were treated with definitive local therapy were significantly higher than that of 69 patients who were treated with palliative chemotherapy (P<0.01). In the subgroup analysis of palliative chemotherapy, 15 patients achieved complete response (21.7%) and 16 displayed partial response (23.2%). The overall response rate (ORR) was 44.9%. TFI (P<0.01) and chemotherapy regime (P<0.05) were significant factors associated with ORR. The ORR of TFI≥12 months was significantly higher than that of TFI <12 months. Besides, the ORR of paclitaxel plus platinum chemotherapy was prominently higher than that of other regimens, while there was no significant difference between the ORR of paclitaxel plus cisplatin and other platinum (P=0.408). Conclusions For recurrent stageⅠb-Ⅱa cervical squamous carcinoma treated with radical hysterectomy, use of definitive local therapy for suitable patients is advised to achieve better prognosis. In terms of palliative chemotherapy, longer TFI may mean better ORR and the combination of paclitaxel plus platinum is preferred.

A 24-year-old male was admitted due to recurrent redness, swelling, fever and pain in the ankle, frequently accompanied by hungry feeling. Dual energy CT scans showed multiple small gouty stones in the posterior edge of the bilateral calcaneus and in the space between the bilateral metatarsophalangeal joints. The laboratory examination results indicated hyperlipidemia, high lactate lipids, and low fasting blood glucose. Histopathology of liver biopsy showed significant glycogen accumulation. The results of gene sequencing revealed the compound heterozygous mutations of the G6PC gene c.248G>A (p.Arg83His) and c.238T>A (p.Phe80Ile) in the proband. The c.248G>A mutation was from mother and the c.238T>A mutation was from father. The diagnosis of glycogen storage disease type Ⅰa was confirmed. After giving a high starch diet and limiting monosaccharide intake, as well as receiving uric acid and blood lipids lowering therapy, the condition of the patient was gradually stabilized. After a one-year follow-up, there were no acute episodes of gout and a significant improvement in hungry feeling in the patient.
