Objective:To examine the oncogenic mutations involved in melanoma in Southern China and to provide a theoretical basis for the development of melanoma molecular targeted therapy strategy. Methods:The Sequenom platform (OncoCarta Panel v1.0 and MassARRAY System) was used to determine the prevalence of oncogene mutations in 28 acral melanoma samples, 28 mucosal mel-anoma samples, and 30 non-chronic sun-induced-damage (no-CSD) melanoma samples from Southern China. Results:At least one mu-tation was detected in 33 of the 86 melanomas (38.4%) with mutations observed in BRAF (16.3%), NRAS (10.5%), KIT (5.8%), EGFR (4.7%), HRAS (2.3%), KRAS (2.3%), MET (2.3%), and PIK3CA (1.2%). In BRAF, the age of patients with mutations was significantly lower than those without BRAF mutation (45.7±15.3 vs. 55.9±12.7, P=0.01). Patients with mutations in NRAS were more likely to have ulceration compared with patients without NRAS mutations (88.9%vs. 48.1%, P=0.049). Conclusions:This study represents a compre-hensive and concurrent analysis of the major recurrent oncogenic mutations involved in melanoma cases from Southern China areas. The data have implications for both clinical trial designs and therapeutic strategies.

The event-related potential (ERP) P300 was recorded to analyze the temporal sequences character and the P300 compositions in premeditated and temporary deception. When 15 healthy undergraduates watched the stolen, familiar but not stolen and strange object pictures, the reaction time was recorded and EEG data were collected to analyze the amplitudes of N1, N2 and P3 sub-component of P300 in honesty and deception group respectively through analog theft paradigm. The results showed that the amplitudes of N1, N2 and P3 in premeditated deception group were markedly larger than those in temporary deception, and the reaction time of deception group was longer than that of honesty group. Compared with temporary deception, more attention resources were invested and intensely response conflict was induced by premeditated deception.

A modified "cross-modal delayed response" paradigm was used to investigate whether the visual mismatch negativity can be elicited by cartoon facial expressions, and to define the mechanism underlying automatic processing of facial expressions. Subjects taking part in the tests were instructed to discriminate the type of the tones they heard as quickly and accurately as possible, and to act merely when they heard the response imperative signal. Neutral, happy and angry faces were presented during intervals between a tone and a response imperative signal. Visual mismatch negativity (VMMN) was obtained by subtracting the event - related potential (ERP) elicited by neutral faces from that elicited by happy faces or angry faces. The angry-related VMMN was more negative than happy-related VMMN, and both were more negative in the left than in the right cerebral hemisphere. The results indicated that VMMN can be elicited by the cartoon facial expressions, and the facial expressions can be processed automatically.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between fetal growth restriction and decreased ovarian reserve (DOR) in adulthood to screen high-risk population for early interventions.

METHODSForty-four patients with FGR and 88 normal women aged 18-40 years were enrolled. All the subjects were examined for serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), inhibin B (INH-B), and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method in the first 3-5 days of the menstrual cycle, and the counts of antrum ovarian follicle were detected by transvaginal or transabdominal ultrasonography.

RESULTSThe serum levels FSH, INHB, AMH, and AFC in FGR group differed significantly from those in the control group (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONFGR will affect reproductive endocrine function in adulthood to cause a decreased ovarian reserve.

Objective:To investigate the prognosis and influencing factors of secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer.Methods:A total of 102 patients with recurrent ovarian cancer admitted to our hospital from Jun. 2012 to Jun. 2015 were selected and grouped according to treatment methods. 31 patients who received paclitaxel/carboplatin (TC) chemotherapy were included in the control group, and 71 patients who received SCS combined with TC chemotherapy were included in the observation group. Clinical efficacy and 5-year survival outcome of the two groups after treatment, were compared and factors affecting the prognosis of the observation group were analyzed.Results:The total effective rate, 1-year survival rate, 3-year survival rate, and 5-year survival rate of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group. The median survival time of the observation group was 52 months and was significantly longer than that of the control group by 17 months ( P<0.05) ; There was no statistical difference between the death group and the survival group in terms of age, pathological type, tissue differentiation, recurrence tumor size, or location of recurrence tumors. The number of patients with FIGO stage IV, more than 3 recurrent tumors, ascites and residual lesion size >1 cm in the death group were significantly larger than those in the survival group. The serum CA125 level of patients in the death group was significantly higher than that in the survival group. Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of recurring tumors>3, with ascites, and residual lesions>1 cm, and high level of CA125 were independent risk factors for death after SCS combined with TC chemotherapy ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:SCS combined with chemotherapy can effectively improve the therapeutic effect, relieve the clinical symptoms, improve the survival rate of patients, and prolong the survival time of patients. The prognosis of SCS combined with chemotherapy is affected by the number of recurrent tumors, the presence or absence of ascites, the size of residual lesions, and CA125 level. The prognosis and survival of patients can be improved by adopting appropriate treatment.

Objective To study the clinical value of electronic bronchoscope in diagnosis and treatment of recurrent dyspnea in neonates.Method From October 2014 to October 2017,the clinical data of recurrent dyspnea receiving electronic bronchoscopy examination and treatment in the neonatal intensive care unit of our hospital were retrospectively selected.Their clinical characteristics and treatment effects were summarized and analyzed.Result A total of 171 infants of neonatal recurrent respiratory infections were examined using electronic bronchoscope.The top four causes included endo－tracheo－bronchitis in 78 cases (45.6%), laryngomalacia, and tracheobronchomalacia in 22 cases (12.9%), airway stenosis in 14 cases (8.2%) and esophagotracheal fistula in 12 cases ( 7.0%).The complications of intraoperative and postoperative included decline of percutaneous oxygen saturation and /or heart rate (20.5%, 35/171), mucosal bleeding (12.3%, 21/171 ), and fever after bronchoalveolar lavage.Electronic bronchoscopy examination confirmed all the 171 neonates′diagnosis and some of them recovered after corresponding treatment.78 cases of infants with endo－tracheobronchitis were all cured.22 cases of laryngomalacia and tracheobronchomalacia and nine patients with airway stenosis improved and were discharged after treatment . One patient with subglottic stenosis received bronchoscopic holmium laser ablation therapy and the airway significantly expanded.No re－stenosis was found during follow－up.Conclusion Electronic bronchoscopy is an important method to determine the cause of recurrent dyspnea in newborns , and it′safe,reliable and can play a therapeutic role in some neonates.

Objective:To analyze the early identification, clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of gestational hypertension crisis combined with adrenal disease.Methods:The clinical data of 23 patients of HCP complicated with adrenal disease admitted from Jul. 2009 to Jul. 2019 were retrospectively studied. The clinical characteristics, imaging characteristics, treatment and clinical transfer were studied.Results:The occurrence of all the 23 cases were acute. Among them, 16 cases had eclampsia combined with Cushing’s syndrome, 4 cases were pregnancy combined with primary aldosteronism (PA) and extreme hypokalemia, and 3 cases had eclampsia combined with pheochromocytoma (PHEO) . After admission, the patients were given symptomatic support treatment for sedation, analgesia, blood pressure control, dehydration, cranial pressure reduction, electrolyte balance and spasmolysis, and patients with severe preeclampsia and preeclampsia terminated their pregnancy in time. After treatment, 3 patients gave live birth, 12 received postpartum surgical treatment and 10 received drug treatment. The clinical symptoms improved and imaging examination suggested the lesions in the brain narrowed and disappeared, except one patient had major cerebral hemorrhage and died of multiple organ failure.Conclusions:In case of HCP and severe hypokalemia, relevant examinations should be improved in combination with symptoms to comprehensively diagnose whether it is complicated with adrenal diseases. The treatment methods and process of HCP with adrenal diseases need to be optimized, so as to judge the timing of termination of pregnancy, and minimize the impact on mother and fetus.

Objective:To construct medical students' employment quality evaluation index system based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP), for providing basis to scientific and objective evaluation of medical students' employment quality.Methods:Two rounds of consultation with 21 experts were conducted to construct medical students' employment quality index and evaluation standard by Delphi method, and the weight of each index and evaluation standard determined by AHP. Excel 2007 and SPSS 21.0 were used to analyze the results of expert consultation. The enumeration data were expressed as frequency and percentage. The mean and coefficient of variation were used to describe the importance scores of experts on indicators at all levels. The positive coefficient, authority coefficient and coordination degree of experts were calculated, and the Kendall coordination coefficient ( W) test was carried out. Yaahp 6.0 is used to analyze the pairwise comparison matrix in the analytic hierarchy process to calculate the weight of the indicator. Results:The authority of expert consultation was ranged from 0.77 to 0.94, and the positive coefficient of experts was 100.00%. The evaluation system of medical students' employment quality was determined, which involved 3 first-class indexes, 9 second-class indexes and 35 third-class indexes, and the weight coefficients of each index were calculated by AHP.Conclusion:The evaluation index system of medical students' employment quality is reasonable, which can be used to provide reference standard for medical students' employment quality evaluation, and has certain application value.

ObjectiveTo count and analyze the toxic traditional Chinese medicines and their characteristics in Chinese Materia Medica， so as to provide reference for the development and application of toxic drugs. MethodThe traditional Chinese medicines included in Chinese Materia Medica were screened one by one， and the inclusion criteria were "drug properties"， "usage and dosage" and "major poison， highly poisonous， poisonous， slightly poisonous， slightly poisonous" appearing in ancient books. Standard toxic traditional Chinese medicines were entered into an excel sheet for statistical analysis. ResultA total of 1 408 toxic Chinese medicines were included. The properties and flavors were mainly cold， bitter， pungent and sweet； the main meridians were liver， lung， spleen and stomach； the root， whole grass and leaves were the most used medicinal parts， and there were many toxic drugs. The pre-treatment methods are mainly sun-dried， fresh， fried， calcined， and sunburned； the efficacy categories are mainly heat-clearing drugs， rheumatism drugs， blood-activating and stasis-removing drugs； oral administration methods are mainly decoctions， pills， and powders ， mainly for external application， dipping， and coating； the dosage for oral administration is mostly 9-15 g， 3-9 g， 3-6 g， and an appropriate amount is mainly for external use. ConclusionThere are many toxic Chinese medicines clearly recorded in Chinese Materia Medica， but only 83 kinds of clearly toxic Chinese medicines are included in Chinese Pharmacopoeia， which need to be further strengthened by experimental observation and clinical data verification. The clinical application of toxic traditional Chinese medicine is mainly based on heat toxin blood syndrome and rheumatic arthralgia， which is closely related to its nature， taste and meridian return. Able to move， has the effect of activating Qi and activating blood， "sweet" can replenish energy and slow down， and has the effect of tonic， alleviation and pain relief， and mostly used for the treatment of heat syndrome， blood syndrome and arthralgia syndrome. However， there are certain limitations in the classification and processing conditions of toxic traditional Chinese medicines， which need to be further improved and scientifically verified.
