IL-8 is a cytokine which belongs to the chemotactic superfamily.It is one of the major mediators in the inflammatory response.In recent years,it was found that it had multiple functions,such as chemoattractant,potent angiogenic,and so on.The cytokine is believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammation,tumor progress and immune disease.In this review,the properties of IL-8 and highlight its roles on inflammation and tumor progress were surveied.

Independent component analysis (ICA) aims at decomposing an observed random vector into statistically independent variables. Fast independent component analysis (FastICA) algorithm and its variants are catching more attention because of their simplicity and convergence speed. In this paper, a novel method referred to robust independent component analysis (RobustICA), based on normalized kurtosis and optimal step-size, is analyzed in detail. When applied to fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) extraction and compared with FastICA, it gave decent results and showed prosperous future usages.

Objective To compare differences in pathological grade,clinical classification and prognosis in patients with Henoch?Sch?nlen purpu?ra nephritis(HSPN)in each age group. Methods Totally 225 cases of patients diagnosed as HSPN and treated in the hospital were selected to ret?rospectively analyze their clinical manifestations,pathological classification and prognosis and compare the difference in pathological grade,clinical classification and prognosis by age. Results Of the concomitant symptoms of HSPN,the incidence rate of abdominal pain was the highest in pa?tients of school age. There was statistical significance in the incidence rate of gastrointestinal bleeding between each age group. Of the clinical mani?festations,proteinuria was positive correlated with the pathological type,and the difference was statistically significant(r=0.471,P<0.000 1). But there was no correlation between the count of urine red blood cells in the urine and the pathological type. There was difference in the pathological grade between each age group(H=19.194,P<0.000 1). The difference mainly showed in the pathological grade between adults,children of pre?school age and adolescents(Z=-2.702,P=0.001;Z=-3.675,P<0.000 1). There was difference in clinical classification between each age group (χ2=36.114,P<0.000 1). The difference mainly showed in clinical manifestations between adults,children of school age and adolescents(χ2=19.628,P<0.000 1;χ2=18.944,P<0.000 1). For both children and adults who had developed into chronic renal failure,the renal pathology of these patients was not significantly different. Conclusion Compared with adults,children have milder pathological types and clinical manifestations and well prognosis of HSPN,and the most important factor which affects the prognosis is pathological type and urine protein can reflect the serious?ness of pathological type.

Objective:To determine the diagnostic performance of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) in patients with recurrent or residual prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. Methods:Studies were systematically searched in the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, SCI, CBM, CNKI, VIP, WanFang, and other databases. Additional studies were manually searched using the references of the retrieved articles. The retrieved deadline time was June 6th, 2013. Studies were eligible for inclusion based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the qualities of the studies were reviewed based on the QUADAS criteria. The Meta Disc 1.4 software was used for meta-analysis, and a summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve was constructed. The patient-based pooled weighted estimates of the sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds radio, and 95%confidence interval were calculated. Results:Among the 118 eligible studies, 7 articles (12 studies) were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled weighted estimates of the sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the curve were 0.88 (95%confidence interval:0.84 and 0.91), 0.87 (95%confidence interval:0.81 and 0.92), and 0.939 1, respectively. The pooled diagnostic radio (dOR) was 50.4 (95%confidence interval:26.0 and 97.6) and Q*was 0.876 4. Conclusion:DCE-MRI has high sensitivity and specificity in the evaluation of locally recurrent or residual prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy, in which the diagnostic efficiency of DCE-MRI combined with magnetic resonance spectroscopy is much better.

In recent years, a large number of studies have found that central lymph node metastasis of the papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is significantly related with some risk factors.These high risk factors include age below 45 years old, BRAF gene mutation, vascular epithelial growth factor-C high expression, tumor diameter≥5 mm, multifocal and bilateral tumor, thyroid capsule invasion and so on.These high risk factors involve in disease process, and interact with each other.The studies of the high risk factors can help us to predict the risk of central lymph node metastasis in the patients with PTMC, thus to effectively guide the patients' treatment.
