Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2/neu) is an important prognostic predictor and the key predictor of anti-HER-2 therapy of breast cancer. Accurate testing of HER-2 status for breast cancer patients is important in clinical practice. As of this writing, the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the College of American Pathologists recommend three methods for HER-2 detection, namely, immunohistochemistry, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and bright-field in situ hybridization. The abovementioned methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. New methods, such as multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and RNA in situ hybridization, are currently applied to detect HER-2 status. New technologies not only make up for the shortcomings of routine methods but also have unique benefits that can meet the demands for HER-2 testing of some breast cancer patients. Thus, these methods are promising for clinical applications and can improve clinical diagnosis and treatment. The characteristics, advantages, and drawbacks of these technologies are introduced and reviewed in this paper.

1727 arterial blood gas samples of 341 cases of acyanotic congenitla heart diseases,79 cases of cyanotic congenital heart diseases and 88 cases of acquired heart diseases during cardio-pulmonary bypass surgery were analyzed.It was found that there were various degrees of acid-base disorders right before the bypass was on.During the speration,acid-base imbalance was aggravated because of anesthesia,fluid infusion,hypothermia,surgical manipulation,etc.Respiratory alkalosis was most common to occur,and metabolic acidosis was the secodn.After the cessation of bypass,acid-base disorders could be significantly alleviated or imporved.So it is belived that it is very important to monitor the changes of blood gases and acid-base balance and to manage timely the complications during cardiopulmonary bypass.Fluid infusion,administration of agents to improve the microcirculation.and replacement of alkaline electrolytes are helpful to maintain acid-base balance.

Objective To investigate the risk factors related to mortality of children with deep fungal infection in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU).Methods A retrospective case-control study was applied.Ninty-six patients admitted to PICU with clinical or definite diagnosis of deep fungal infection from Nov 2005 to Mar 2009 were included.The risk factors related to mortality wereanalyzed with the logistic regression analysis.The research factors included:sex,age,primary diseases,complications,invasive operations and therapeutic measures etc.Results Of all 96 children,28 died (28.2%).According to the analytical results of multivariate logistic regression,the variables significantly associated with mortality were immunosuppressive (OR =185.770,95 % CI 11.467 ~ 3 009.507),mechanical ventilation (OR =11.555,95 % CI 2.780 ~ 48.039),hypoproteinemia (OR =1.246,95% CI 1.133 ~ 1.369) and low pediatric critical illness score (OR =1.086,95 % CI 1.008 ~ 1.169).Conclusion The risk factors related to mortality of children with deep fungal infection in PICU were immunosuppressive,mechanical ventilation,hypoproteinemia and low pediatric critical illness score.

Objective:To check RNA binding protein QKI-5's expression level in breast cancer cells and inhibiting effect on cancer cell proliferation.Methods:QKI-5's expression level was checked in different breast cancer cells by Western blotting,cancer cells of overexpressed QKI-5 gene could be stabilized by slow virus infection construction,MTT and FCM were used to check cell period to express QKI-5's influence on cell proliferation and period.Results:MCF-7 cells have relatively low QKI-5 expression level in three breast cancer cells,MTT experiment result has obvious reduced influence on QKI-5's expression of MCF-7 cell proliferation P<0.05,mean-while,cell period inspection shows that overexpressed QKI-5's MCF-7 cells have obvious G1 retardant,cells in S and G2/M periods are reduced.Conclusion:High expression of QKI-5'in breast cancer could cause slow cell proliferation by inhibiting cancer cell period,hence causing limited tumor growth.

Objective:To explore the curative effect and safety of febuxosta for the patients with primary gout complicated with mild to moderate renal insufficiency.Methods:60 male patients with primary gout complicated with mild to moderate renal insufficiency were enrolled in the affiliated Hospital of integrated traditional Chinese and Westem Medicine,Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from January 2015 to August 2016 and randomly divided into two groups,the control group (n=30) was treated by allopurinol,and the study group (n=30) was treated by febuxosta treatment.The blood uric acid (BUA) and hepatorenal function were compared in the treatment period,and the incidence of adverse reactions and the recurrence of gout in post-treatment were compared.Results:At 1,2 and 3 month after treatment,the serum level of BUN in the study group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).The renal function of all patients were significantly improved compared with pre-treatment (P<0.05),but the no significant difference was found between two groups at the same time(P>0.05).The control group showed the adverse reactions with limb discomfort,drowsiness,nausea,abdominal distension,diarrhea and itch of skin,and the study group showed limb discomfort,drowsiness and abdominal distension,and one patients presenting allergic skin rash and discontinuation of allopurinol.The total incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions:Febuxosta could effectively and safely decrease the blood uric acid levels and improve the renal function of patients with primary gout complicated with mild to moderate renal insufficiency.

BACKGROUND: The number of roots and morphology of the root canal system of permanent mandibular first molars vary greatly among different populations; therefore, it is important to be familiar with the variations in the root and root canal for the location and negotiation of the canals. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the variations in the roots and root canal of permanent mandibular first molars in the Han population of southwest Shandong Province by cone-beam CT. METHODS: 656 patients undegoing cone-beam CT examination at the Department of Stomatology, Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University, from September 2012 to October 2015 were recruited, and all patients had healthy, well-developed, and untreated bilateral permanent mandibular first molars with normal appearance. Subsequently, the three-dimensional reconstruction based on cone-beam CT data was performed using Planmeca Romexis software to observe the variations in the root and root canal system of permanent mandibular first molars in the Han population of southwest Shandong Province. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Among 1312 permanent mandibular first molars, the incidence of permanent mandibular first molars with three roots was 70.66% (927/1312); the majority of root canal variations involved two roots and three root canals, accounting for 48.09% (631/1312). The incidence of distal root was 35.37% (232/656), the incidence of distal root was 29.34% (385/1312) in total teeth, and the incidence of distal root bilaterally was 68.95% (153/232). There was a significantly increased incidence of distal root on the right side than on the left side (P < 0.05), and the incidence in the male was significantly higher than that in the female (P < 0.05). These results suggest that most of Han populations in southwest Shandong Province have permanent mandibular first molars with two roots, and the root canal variations mainly involve two roots and three root canals, with the high incidence of distal root. Moreover, cone-beam CT is available for detecting the variation in roots and root canal system, which can provide references for root canal treatment.
