Objective: To conduct systematic evaluation on the dermatologic toxicity caused by targeted anti-cancer drugs in children and teenager to provide reference for future studies and clinical practice.Methods: Pubmed(http:∥www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/), American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meetings' Online Abstracts Database(http:∥www.asco.org/) and ClinicalTrials.gov(http:∥www.clinicaltrials.gov) were searched for the clinical trials on the use of targeted anti-cancer drugs (single or combination) in children and teenager complicated with dermatologic toxicity.Methodological quality assessment was performed for the included studies, using Cochrane's risk of bias assessment tool for randomized controlled trials and methodological index for non-randomized studies (MINORS).Meta-analysis was performed for the outcomes including adverse event rate of skin rash, xerosis, pruritis and mucositis.Results: A total of 24 studies with 960 patients were included in this study.Various solid tumors and leukemia were investigated in the studies.The quality assessment revealed that the majority of included studies were with high quality.According to the results of meta-analysis, the pooled event rate and 95% confidence interval were 0.19[0.12-0.28],0.24[0.06-0.51],0.12[0.04-0.24] and 0.21[0.07-0.39] for skin rash, xerosis, pruritis and mucositis, respectively.Publication bias analysis indicated potential reporting bias for skin rash (Egger's P=0.007).Conclusion: Dermatologic adverse events occur in a part of children and teenager with cancer treated with targeted therapy, which may cause impaired quality of life and disability.Adequate attention should be paid to these events during clinical trials and real life practice.

Purpose To study the expression of zeb-1 and c-jun in gastric cancer and its influence of occurrence and development of tumor. Methods The expression zeb-1, c-jun and E-cadherin were assessed in 100 specimens of gastric cancer and their tissue adja-cent to cancer by immunohistochemistry. Results The positive rates of zeb-1,c-jun and E-cadherin expression in gastric cancer were 81%, 70%, 35%, and in tissue adjacent to cancer were 17%, 25%, 100%. The expression of zeb-1 and c-jun in gastric cancer were higher than those in their tissue adjacent to cancer (P<0. 05). zeb-1 expression was closely correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P<0. 05), which were not correlated with patient s age, sex and tumor size. c-jun expression was closely correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation (P<0. 05), which were not correlated with other pathological features. The expression of zeb-1 was negatively correlated with the expression of E-cadherin and was positively correlated with the expression of c-jun in gastric cancer. Patients with high expression of zeb-1 and c-jun had lower five-year survival rate than patients with negative expression. Conclusion zeb-1 and c-jun are closely correlated with occurrence and development of gastric cancer. They can be a index of judging prognosis of gastric cancer.

Objective To study the content changes of ET and CGRP in MID patients and investigate the effect of cluster needling on scalp point about intelligence of MID patients. Methods Sixty MID patients were divided into cluster needling group and medicine group which was treated by hupperzine. HDS,ADL,MMSE score and ET,CGRP content was assayed before and after treatment. Results After treated for 8 weeks,CGRP content of cluster needling group was increased and ET was decreased significantly compared with medicine group (P

Objective To report the experience in diagnosing gastroenteric tuberculosis under en-doscopies, and arose enough attention to avoid missed or mis-diagnosis. Methods Biopsy is taken when lesions, such as gastroenteric mucosal protrusions, nodule, erythema and ulcer are found under endoscopies. Results In 7 cases studied, 2 of them are the gastric tuberculosis (1 ulceration, 1 proliferation) , the rest, colonic tuberculosis (4 proliferation and 1 mixed). Distribution of lesions: gastric antrum 2, each one in terminal ileum, ileocecal valve, terminal ileum plus ileocecum, terminal ileum plus pan colon, and ascending colon. Endoscopic diagnosis: colonic tuberculosis with infiltrative tuberculosis in both lungs 1; colonic malignant tumors 2, mucosal protrusions and ulcerative lesions with undefined nature 4. Caseous necrotic granu-lomas are found in all cases on pathological examination. Conclusion The various appearances of gastroenteral tuberculosis under endoscopies are hard in differentiating from those of colonic carcer, inflammatory bowel diseases ( Crohn' s disease etc. ) , gastric benign or malignant ulceration. The definite diagnosis of gastroenteral tuberculosis is greatly depended on pathological results.

High-mobility-group B1 (HMGB1), an abundant, highly conserved cellular protein, is widely known as a nuclear DNA-binding protein that stabilizes nucleosome formation, and facilitates gene transcription. Recent studies suggested that HMGB1 could be overexpressed and released from cellular nucleosome upon endotoxin and cytokine stimulation, or other stress challenge including burns, shock, as well as infection. Therefore, extracellular HMGB1 might be involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis and subsequent multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Moreover, experimental data showed that extracellular HMGB1 might play vital roles in nerves development, tumor metastasis, atherosclerosis and restenosis after vascular damage.

Objective To evatluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on intraoperative wake-up test during cerebral functional area operation performed under combined iv propofol-remifentanil anesthesia.Methods Twenty-seven ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients (both sexes) aged 17-43 yr with a body mass index of 20-24 kg/m2 undergoing op-eration on cerebral functional area during which intraoperative wake-up test was performed were randomly divided into control group (group C,n =13) and dexmedetomidine group (group D,n =14).Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,sufentanil,etomidate and rocuronium and maintained with TCl of propofol (Cp =3-5 μg/ml) and remifentanil (Ce =2-6 ng/ml).BIS value was maintained at 55-65.In group D after dura of brain was opened,a loading dose of dexmedetomidine 0.3 μg/kg was administered iv over 15 min followed by continuous iv infusion at 0.2 μg· kg-1 · h-1 while TCI of propofol and remifentanil were suspended.In group C after opening of dura,Cp of propofol TCI was reduced to 0.5 μg/ml and Ce of remifentanil to 0.5 ng/ml.The wake-up time and development of hypertension,tachycardia,headache,dysphoria,delirium and awareness were recorded.Results All patients were successfully awakened.There was no significant difference in wake-up time between the 2 groups (P ＞0.05).The incidences of hypertension,tachycardia,headache and awareness were significantly lower in group D than in group C (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine does not affect intraoperative wake-up time during operation on cerebral functional area performed under iv propofol-remifentanil anesthesia,but can significantly reduce the incidence of adverse effects.

With the aggravation of aging of the population,the incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD)has been steadily increasing,mild cognitive impairment (MCI)is considered as a cognitive state between aging and dementia.However,the diagnosis of AD and MCI is difficult and mainly depends on the clinical symptoms and the corresponding assessment scales,lacking of the application of biological markers.In this paper,we presented a general review of the biological markers related to AD and MCI,so as to provide reference for their clinical use.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of Twin-block function al appliance in the treatment of transmissible obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (O SAS). Methods: 7 cases of OSAS, aged 8.6～13.2 years, with sk e letal Angle II malocclusion were treated with Twin-block fuctional appliance fo r 13 months on an average. The position of the mandible, tongue, soft palate,hyo id bone and the radius vector of the upper airway was measured by lateral cepha lometric radiographs, the indexes of sleep condition, breath function and cardio vascular system were measured by polysomnography before and after treatment. Results: At the end of the treatment, the average increase in the radius of upper airway was 4.84 mm (P
