HLA-G belongs to non-classical HLA-class Ⅰ genes.It is expressed in the fetal-maternal interface on the extravillous cytotrophoblast and in such immune privilege tissues as the cornea and pancreas.However, under pathological conditions, such as tumor, inflammatory diseases and post transplantation, HLA-G is expressed abnormally.HLA-G can interact with its acceptors or immune cells and suppress the function of immune cells, which facilitates the escape of the surveillance of the human immune system and the consequent damage.In clinical studies,HLA-G is related to some clinical parameters.This review will focus on the expression, function and regulatory mechanisms of HLA-G in cancer immunology.

Objective To survey ST-segment resolution in STEMI patients undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and to find the specific clinical features of patients with inadequate ST-segment resolution.Methods A total of 198 patients were divided into two groups according to the ratio of ST-segment resolution:relatively adequate ST-segment resolution group (> 50%) and inadequate STsegment resolution group (< 50%).The clinical features,infarct-related artery and PCI-related evants were evaluated,and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE including target vessel revascularization,recurrent myocardial infarction,or death) were recorded during hospitalization and follow-up period.Multivariate logistic analysis was used to identify relevant factors influencing ST-segment resolution of STEMI patients after treatment with PCI.The Statistical analyses of data were carried out using SPSS 10.0 software.Results (1) There were 156 patients with relativey adequate ST-segment resolution and 42 patients with inadequate ST-segment resolution.Of them,there were higher percentage of patients aged over 75years in the inadequate ST-segment resolution group than those in the relatively adequate ST-segment resolution group (9 cases,21.4% vs.14 cases,9.0% ; P <0.05).(2) In inadequate ST-segment resolution group,thetotal ischemic time was significant longer [(5.2 ±2.2) h vs.(3.0 ± 1.6) h,P <0.01].The infarctrelated artery (IRA) was more common at left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) (27 cases,64.3% vs.69 cases,44.2%; P < 0.05) and there were fewer patients with TIM grade 3 of IRA in inadequate ST-segment resolution group after primary PCI than that in relative adequate ST-segment resolution group (32 cases,76.2% vs.140 cases,89.7% ; P < 0.05).There was a lower rate of using GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a receptor antagonist and a higher rate of prescribing IABP in inadequate ST-segment resolution group.(3) There is a higher incidence of MACE during hospitalization and follow-up period in patients with inadequate ST-segment resolution.(4) Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that age over 75 years,LAD occlusion,the total ischemic time were related to ST-segment resolution.Conclusions The patients with age over 75 years,LAD occlusion,longer ischemia time,and unemployment GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a receptor antagonist before PCI were prone to get inadequate ST-segment resolution and poor prognosis.Age over 75 years,LAD occlusion,and longer ischemic time were independent risk factors of the inadequate ST-segment resolution in STEMI patients after emergency PCI.

The launch of the clinical trial registry is a milestone event in the field of clinical research in the 21st century that has played an important role in safeguarding the openness,transparency,ethics,data sharing and process control of clinical research.The current clinical research registry is mainly aimed at clinical trial research with lack of professional registration system for security and other real events of observational study.In order to improve the level of clinical safety research,promote transparency and process quality control,we proactively proposed and established a registration platform for clinical safety research of traditional Chinese medicine.This paper made a brief introduction hereof.

Objective To explore the clinical manifestations and molecular features of 46,XX male syndrome.Method The clinical and molecular data of five 46,XX male syndrome cases treated in the Department of Pediatrics of Shanghai Ruijin Hospital form August 2010 to August 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Result The five patients were all sociopsychologically males and came to hospital respectively for short stature,ambiguous genitalia or gynecomastia.They were all below the normal male’s average height,and their karyotype was all 46,XX.One case in five was verified as sex determining region of Y chromosome (SRY gene) positive revealed no abnormality in their external genitalia.He had short stature since childhood,whose SRY gene fragments were shown by FISH transferred to the ends of X chromosome.Three cases in four were SRY gene negative with ambiguous genitalia of cryptorchidism and testicular dysplasia to different degrees.The copy number variations of SOX9 gene was found in one case,the loss of heterozygosity area in DHH gene of one case.Another SRY gene negative patient who had normal male external genitalia,came to the hospital due to puberty gynecomastia,that of SOX9 gene and its upstream gene both increased.Conclusion The main clinical characteristics of 46,XX male syndrome are male phenotype,46,XX karyotype,gonad of testis or ovotestis and no uterus.In addition,short stature,ambiguous genitalia or gynecomastia can be one reason for hospital visits.SRY gene translocation,SOX9 gene and its upstream gene copy number increase all can lead to 46,XX male syndrome.The cause of some may play an important role in 46,XX male syndrome,but has not yet been determined.

Esophageal cancer is a common malignant tumor of digestive tract.Remarkable regional difference is a prominent feature of the clinical epidemiology of esophageal cancer.They are mainly manifested in incidence rate,incidence type,onset age,and gene mutation.These differences may be related to dietary habits,lifestyle,and environmental factors.In recent years,research on the regional differences in esophageal cancer has gradually deepened.This article summarizes the differences in incidence rate,incidence type,gene mutations,epigenetics,risk factors,and prognosis of esophageal cancer in different regions,including Asia(China,India,Japan,and other countries),Europe,America(the United States),Africa,and other regions.Understanding these differences can help doctors and public health experts understand the risk factors and causes of esophageal cancer and further develop highly effective prevention and treatment strategies to reduce the occurrence and mortality rate of this malignancy.
