Welding fumes exposure increased the risk of lung cancer. The factors that cause lung cancer included：welding fume of chromium，nickel and their compounds，smoking and asbestos dust，welding types and welding materials. The results of animal experiments showed that the metal compounds in welding fumes could be deposited in lung tissue and caused persistent mild inflammation which led to increase lung tumor in animal models. Chromium，nickel，iron compounds could cause tumor separately. The use of tumor initiator pretreatment led to increase the number of lung tumor with statistical significance. The mechanisms of lung cancer development include chronic inflammation that caused by continuous deposition of carcinogenic metal oxides such as chromium and nickel in the lung. Free radicals peroxidation causes DNA damage，which acts on tumor related genes and causes their abnormal expression and generates lung tumor cells. Activating telomerase activity may promote normal cells transform into immortalized tumor cells. By activating nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-2 and nuclear factor Kappa B signaling，welding fumes cause inflammation，DNA damage and formation of lung tumor cells. Welding fumes also intervenes immune modulatory system and leads to tumor cell formation. Keywords: Welding fumes；Lung cancer；Occupational epidemiology；Anim

A confirmed case of blood flow infection caused by Vibrio vulnificus at Fenyang Hospital in Shanxi Province is reported to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of Vibrio vulnificus infection. The patient is a male sanitation worker who accidentally scratched his right forearm while working and was admitted to the hospital due to swelling and pain in his right forearm accompanied by fever. The patient had recently resided in the local area, and had no history of working outside, or recent exposure to seawater or raw seafood. On the morning of the second day of admission, all four blood culture bottles tested positive. The positive blood culture bottle broth was directly smeared and transferred to a blood plate or a hemophilic chocolate plate. Under the microscope, it was Gram-negative bacilli, and the bacteria body was curved and rod-shaped. In the afternoon (about 7 hours of cultivation), the bacteria membrane was identified as Vibrio vulnificus by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometer (MALDI-TOF MS). Sepsis caused by Vibrio vulnificus has a high mortality rate, and it can also cause necrotizing fasciitis. With the cooperation of multiple disciplines, the patient improved and was discharged. Through this case, Vibrio vulnificus infection should be included in the differential diagnosis for patients with fever, redness, swelling, and pain in the limbs (with a history of trauma). The patient's prognosis can be improved with the timely finding of the pathogenic bacteria through blood culture and other techniques, early surgical intervention and establishment of an MDT (multidisciplinary joint) team.

Background and purpose: Paget's disease (PD) of the breast is a rare disease. The survival of PD was reported to be related to the characteristics of the underlying carcinoma. This study aimed to investigate the char-acteristics and survival of PD patients with underlying invasive breast carcinoma (IBC). Methods: Fifty-four patients diagnosed with PD and an associated IBC in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from 2002 to 2007 were re-cruited in this study as study group. Since most PD overexpress HER-2, 72 patients with HER-2-overexpressing breast cancer were randomly recruited as control group. This study compared survival between these two groups. Results:Twenty-five (46.3％) patients in study group had no clinical manifestation of PD and were diagnosed unexpectedly by a histologic examination. Thirty-five (64.8％) patients in study group had tumors larger than 2 cm, twenty-six(48.1％) patients in study group had chance of axillary lymph node involvement. Compared with control group, patients in study group tended to have more events (5-year relapse-free survival: 76.4％ vs 48.5％, P<0.01). In the control group, most events occurred in the first 3 years after operation, while recurrence might happen all along in the 5 years after opera-tion in study group. Patients in study group also had a poorer overall survival than in control group (61.0％ vs 80.6％, P=0.01). Conclusion: Patients with Paget's disease and underlying invasive breast cancer tend to have poorer survival than those with HER-2-overexpressing breast cancer.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of dietary,exercise intervention combined with Rou-ganjiangzhi capsule on non -alcoholic fatty liver disease.Methods A randomized,double -blinded and placebo drug parallel controlled method was used in this study.Sixty patients were enrolled into the study and randomly assigned into treatment group and control group.The patients of treatment group were taken with Rouganjiangzhi capsule combined behavior intervention.The patients of control group were taken with placebo drug combined behavior inter-vention.Each patient were accepted 12 weeks of the therapy.After treatment,the clinical symptoms,liver function, blood lipids,indicators of changes in imaging were detected,and the results of each group statistically were analyzed. Results After 12 weeks treatment,five patients were rejected,and the clinical symptoms,body mass index (BMI), waist -hip ratio were markedly improved in each group:[(1.02 ±1.08)points,(26.29 ±2.54),(0.92 ±0.04), (0.81 ±0.95),(26.58 ±3.11)and (0.91 ±0.04)]compared with[(3.62 ±0.96)points,(27.63 ±2.50),(0.94 ± 0.03),(3.60 ±0.95),(28.22 ±3.14),(0.95 ±0.03)(t =4.74,2.64,0.82,4.62,3.61,0.84,all P <0.05)]. After the treatment,the liver function (ALT,GGT)and cholesterol (TC)of treatment group decreased significantly than that before treatment:[(75.28 ±25.19)IU /L,(48.41 ±38.42)IU /L,(3.02 ±0.85)IU /L],compared with [(127.46 ±52.42)IU /L,(48.41 ±38.42)IU /L,(4.63 ±0.69)IU /L (t =2.54,2.18,2.42,all P <0.05)],while the liver function (ALT,AST,GGT)and blood lipids(TC,TG)of control group had no significantly decreased.The liver and spleen CT ratio raised apparently in treatment group than control group (0.86 ±0.24),(0.71 ±0.20)(t =0.83, P <0.05).Conclusion Rouganjiangzhi capsule achieve the good therapeutic effect on non -alcoholic fatty liver.

In recent years,studies committed to the myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) pathogenesis suggest that potential somatic genetic alterations,and epigenetic events might contribute to MPN development,influence the MPN disease phenotype,progression,and promote transformation.The most relevant mutations identified so far can be broadly classified into two main groups.Mutations associated with dysregulated JAK-STATsignal transduction pathway,including mutations in JAK2,CALR,MPL,CBL,LNK,SOCS.Mutations in several epigenetic modifiers,including mutations in TET2,ASXL1,IDH1/2,DNMT3A,EZH2 and so on.In this paper,the abnormal clones and clonal evolution of MPN were reviewed.

BACKGROUND:Uric acid, as an endogenous antioxidant, exhibits anti-oxidative and anti-DNA damage effects, promotes osteogenic differentiation, and therefore has been paid more attentions.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of different concentrations of uric acid on the expression of genes related to Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways during osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s.
METHODS:Healthy adult human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were in vitro isolated by adherent culture of whole bone marrow. Passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were induced to differentiate into osteoblasts using different concentrations of uric acid (0, 140, 280, 560μmol/L). Alkaline phosphatase activity, cel proliferation capacity, and Wnt-3αandβ-catenin mRNA expression in the Wnt signaling pathways were detected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Alkaline phosphatase staining was positive. After treatment with uric acid, alkaline phosphatase activity and cel proliferation capacity were increased, the expression of Wnt signaling pathway-related genes Wnt-3a andβ-catenin was up-regulated in a dose-dependent manner. There were significant differences in the abovementioned indices between experimental groups and between each experimental group and control group (P<0.05). These findings suggest that uric acid up-regulates Wnt-3a/β-catenin signaling pathway and thereby promotes the osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s in a dose-dependent manner.
