Objective To evaluate the performance of microRNA‐21(miRNA‐21) for the diagnosis of esophageal cancer .Meth‐ods Published literatures ,investigating the diagnostic performance of miRNA‐21 in esophageal cancer ,were screened .QUADAS‐2 software was used to evaluate the quality of related literatures .All analysis about relevant data was accomplished by using Meta‐DiSc statistical software .The sensitivity ,specificity ,positive likelihood rate ,negative likelihood rate and diagnostic odds ratio were pooled ,using corresponding effects models .Results Four studies met the inclusion criteria ,accumulating 202 esophageal cancer pa‐tients and 124 healthy controls .The summary estimates for miRNA‐21 in the diagnosis of esophageal cancer were with diagnostic sensitivity of 0 .85 and specificity of 0 .65 .The area under summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0 .817 4 .Conclusion miRNA‐21 might be a novel biomarker for the diagnosis of esophageal cancer ,and could be used for screening and auxiliary diag‐nosis of esophageal cancer .

Objective:To evaluate in vitro antifungal activities of zhexinmycin against dermatophytes. Methods: The minimum in-hibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of zhexinmycin against 7 strains of dermatophytes were determined by using broth microdilution method according to CLSI M-38A. Results:The MIC of zhexinmycin against dermatophytes was within the range of 0. 125-2. 000μg·ml-1 . The MFC was within the range of 0. 250-4. 000μg·ml-1 . Conclusion:Zhexinmycin shows strong in vitro antifungal effect on multiple fungi such as Epidermophyton floccosum, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton violaceum, Mi-crosporum canis, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton tonsurans and Microsporum gypseum.

Co-occurrence of renal cell carcinoma with two different histology is very rare. Here we present a 61-year-old gentleman with right renal mass in clinics. The diagnosis was right renal cell carcinoma by two different enhanced mass showing on CT scan. Right laparoscopic nephrectomy was performed. Pathology showed that one mass was papillary renal cell carcinoma, the other was clear cell renal cell carcinoma. No recurrence or metastasis was found during 36 months of follow up.
