Anorectal malignant melanoma is a rare disease with atypical clinical symptoms and has a high misdiagnosis rate.Combined with rectal touch,endoscopy,ultrasonic inspection,CT,MRI,PET-CT,electron microscopy and the result of immunohistochemistry could help improve the diagnosis rate.This tumor tends to relapse and metastasis with poor prognosis,and there is no effective treatment.We should be on the alert for it,and the main point is early discovery,correct diagnosis,multi-disciplinary comprehensive treatment,in order to improve the survival rate of patients.

Paclitaxel is one of the most effective broad-spectrum chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of cancers.However,its clinical application has been limited due to its poor water solubility.Its current clinical administration results in serious side effects and has undesired pharmacokinetics and biodistribution.Therefore,it is need to develope alternate drug delivery systems of paclitaxel to enhance its solubility,permeability and stability,furthermore to promote a sustained,controlled and targeted delivery.Hyaluronic acid as the carrier of drug delivery system can solve the problems.Hyaluronic acid-paclitaxel nanoparticles have high anticancer efficiency in drug encapsulation and tumor cellular uptake,due to their appropriate size,surface modification and interaction with CD44.This review focuses on recent applications of hyaluronic acid-paclitaxel nanoparticles in a variety of malignant tumors.

In order to study the relationship between serum specific IgE (sIgE) and allergen skin test, allergen skin tests and detections of sIgE in 220 allergic patients of Wuhan area were analyzed. The coherent rate of the two methods was beyond 70% (P < 0.01). It was concluded that the in vitro and in vivo detection methods of allergens have a high coherence and can be used as the effective ways to diagnose the allergic diseases in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE:To study the anti-inflammation effects of cacumen biotae water decoction on mice with auricle and ab-dominal inflammation. METHODS:Mice were randomized into a normal control group,a model group,a positive control group (0.25 g/L aspirin)and cacumen biotae high-dose,medium-dose and low-dose [1,0.5 and 0.25 g(medicinal materials)/L] groups, respectively marked as groups A,B,C,D,E and F,with 10 mice in each group. The mice were given drugs ig for 5 consecutive days. The models of auricle and abdominal inflammation were established for all groups except the normal control group. The con-tents of tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)and interleukin 1(IL-1)in the serum of mice with auricle inflammation were determined, and the swelling degree and swelling rate were calculated. The contents of TNF-α,IL-1 and acid-sensing ion channels 1a(ASIC1a) in the liver tissues of mice with abdominal inflammation and the concentration of proteins in the peritoneal lavage fluid(ΔA)there-of were detected. RESULTS:For mouse models of auricle inflammation,the contents of TNF-α and IL-1 in serum in group B were higher than in group A;the swelling degree and swelling rate and the contents of TNF-α and IL-1 in groups C,D,E and F were lower than in group B,and those of group E and F were higher than in group C. There were statistical differences(P<0.05). For mouse models of abdominal inflammation,the contents of TNF-α,IL-1 and ASIC1a in liver tissues and ΔA in group B were higher than in group A;the contents of TNF-α,IL-1 and ASIC1a as well as ΔA in groups C,D,E and F were lower than in group B. There were statistical differences(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Cacumen biotae water decoction has anti-effect on acute auricle and abdominal inflammation by a mechanism which may be related to decreasing TNF-α,IL-1 and ASIC1a.

BACKGROUND:During clinical orthodontic correction, the self-ligating bracket is more helpful to maintain the periodontal healthy than the traditional bracket, but previous studies mainly focused on the clinical periodontal index and periodontal pathogens, and whether inflammatory cytokines are involved has not been reported. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the changes of the expression levels of interleukin 1β and tumor necrosis factor α in gingival crevicular fluid before and after the correction using self-ligating bracket and conventional bracket appliance. METHODS:Totaly 38 orthodontic patients without periodontal disease (including 20 males and 18 females; aged 11-25 years) were included in this study. Al the patients were randomly divided into control and test groups (n=19/group) and subjected to orthodontic correction using self-ligating bracket and conventional bracket appliance, respectively. The volumes of gingival crevicular fluid and expression levels of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α were detected before correction and at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after correction. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The volume of gingival crevicular fluid and expression levels of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α after correction were al higher than those before correction (P< 0.05). The volume of gingival crevicular fluid and expression levels of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α after correction in the test group were lower than those in the control group (P< 0.05). These results demonstrate that self-ligating bracket appliance is more conducive to protect the periodontal tissue than the conventional bracket appliance.
