Cervical cancer is one of the most common and deadliest cancers in females worldwide. Despite the treatment methods of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are maturing, the prognosis of patients with recurrent, advanced or metastatic cervical cancer remains poor. Molecular targeted therapy provides new hope for these patients. This review focuses on the advances in agents targeting vascular endothelial growth factor pathway, epidermal growth factor receptor, mammalian target of rapamycin, histone deacetylases and cyclooxygenase-2 in cervical cancer.

We report a case of retinal detachment in morning glory syndrome(MGS). We think that identification of the retinal break, removal of the traction force by vitrectomy, the use of long-acting gas as endotamponade, all contributed to the successful treatment of the disease. The pathogenic mechanisms of the disease and the function of B-scan to the diagnosis are included.

Objective: Based on optimized method of DNA ligase chain reaction in medium/low throughput genotyping, we assessed the relationship between NOD-like receptor genes NOD1, NOD2 and coronary artery disease (CAD) occurrence. Methods: A multiplex PCR was conducted to enrich DNA template; probe design, annealing temperature, time and number of circulation of PCR were opfimizecl for allele specific ligation; allele specific products were identified by fluorescence PCR and capillary electrophoresis; the accuracy was verified by Sanger sequencing. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on NOD1 gene and NOD2 gene were examined in 1555 CAD patients and 1887 control subjects; the relationship between SNPs and CAD occurrence was studied. Results: Based on optimized PCR condition and allele specific probe design, 30 allele loci genotyping can be genotyped by 10ng DNA template at one time. Association study presented that rs751271 and rs1861759 on NOD2 gene were related to non-hypertensive CAD, allP<0.05; with Bonferroni correction, such correlation was still significant, allP<0.05. Conclusion: We optimized DNA ligase chain reaction and established a novel high accuracy, low cost method for the demand of medium/low throughput genotyping in clinical molecular diagnosis. With this method, we identified that rs1861759 and rs751271 on NOD2 gene were associated with non-hypertensive CAD.

The experiment was conducted to examine the effect of copper toxicity on the peripheral blood T-lymphocyte using the flow cytometry(FCM) and ANAE.180 one-day-old Avian broilers were divided randomly into three groups,and fed diets as follows:(1)Controls(Cu 11.97 mg/kg diet) and (2)copper toxic(Cu 650 mg/kg diet,copper toxic group Ⅰ;Cu 850 mg/kg diet,copper toxic group Ⅱ) for six weeks.The ANAE positive ratios of the peripheral blood T-lymphocytes were much lower in the two copper toxic groups than in control group from 1 to 6 weeks of age(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Also,there was significant difference between copper toxic groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ at 1,3,5 and 6 weeks of age(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).CD+4 T cell numbers reduced from 2 to 6 weeks of age in both copper toxic group Ⅰ and copper toxic group Ⅱ as compared with those of control group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).At the same time,there was significant difference between copper toxic groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ at 6 weeks of age(P＜0.05).But the numbers of CD+8 T cell were not varied from 2 to 6 weeks of age in copper toxic groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ in comparison with those of control group(P＞0.05).The CD+4/CD+8 ratio was lower from 2 to 6 weeks of age in copper toxic groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ than in control group.The results showed that copper toxicity could suppress the development of T-lymphocytes and reduce the peripheral blood T-lymphocyte populations.Potential mechanisms underlying these observations are also discussed.

Objective To explore the method of the major hospital indexes examination using clinical pathway as an opportunity.Methods Based on the material of our hospital from 2008 to 2010,reference the data of the same level hospital in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,we set the benchmark and formulated the examination standard of three examination indexes:average length of stay (ALOS),average hospitalization expense and drug proportion.Meanwhile,we took the subentry incentives to give the corresponding reward to clinical departments according to the decreases rate compared with the benchmark monthly.Results ALOS,average hospitalization expense and drug proportion of department and the whole hospital were obviously decreased compared with the same period last year,and the differences were statistically significant (Medical system:t =27.479,14.462,11.362,all P ＜ 0.01 ; Surgical system:t =18.944,16.029,12.071,all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion After using the examination methods and combining clinical pathway,the effects are obvious,which can effectively shorten ALOS,reduce average hospitalization expense and drug proportion,so as to relieve the patients' economic burden.

Objective To compare skin barrier function among patients with facial acne,subacute eczema,melasma and solar dermatitis.Methods Three hundred patients,including 80 patients with facial acne,60 subacute facial eczema,80 facial melasma and 60 facial solar dermatitis,as well as 60 healthy controls were recruited in this study.Skin sebum content and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) were measured by a sebmeter and Tewameter TM 210 (Courage and Khazaka,Germany),respectively.Stratum comeum hydration was measured with a Scalar Moisture Checker (Scalar Corporation,Japan).Statistical analysis was carried out using analysis of variance and t test.Results Compared with the healthy controls,patients with facial acne showed increased skin sebum content and TEWL value but decreased stratum corneum hydration (all P ＜ 0.01),and patients with subacute eczema,solar dermatitis and melasma displayed lower sebum content and stratum corneum hydration but higher TEWL value (all P ＜ 0.01).Skin sebum content was significantly higher in patients with facial acne than in patients with subacute eczema,solar dermatitis and melasma ((184.65 ± 83.07) vs.(21.86 ± 18.94),(25.10 ±14.22) and (36.05 ± 32.84) μg/cm2,all P ＜ 0.01),but was similar between the patients with subacute eczema,solar dermatitis and melasma (P ＞ 0.05).In terms of stratum corneum hydration,patients with subacute eczema and solar dermatitis were statistically lower than those with acne and melasma (18.66％ ± 7.85％ and 20.91％ ± 8.05％ vs.24.32％ ± 8.16％ and 28.02％ ± 4.67％,all P ＜ 0.01),patients with facial subacute eczema were similar to those with solar dermatitis (P ＞ 0.05),and patients with facial acne were statistically lower than those with melasma (P ＜0.01).TEWL value was significantly higher in patients with melasma than in patients with acne,solar dermatitis and subacute eczema ((13.80 ± 4.t 3) vs.(20.86 ± 8.78),(22.85 ± 9.84) and (22.48 ± 10.37) μg/m2 h,all P ＜ 0.01),but similar between patients with acne,solar dermatitis and subacute eczema (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Skin barrier function is somewhat impaired in patients with facial acne,subacute eczema,melasma and solar dermatitis.Therefore,to recover skin barrier function may facilitate the treatment of these diseases.

Objective To understand the ‘ problem behavior' and influencing factors during job haunting of medical students and to provide guidance for students.Methods Totally 409 medical students who had graduated or were going to graduate but all having the experiences of applying for jobs were surveyed with self-made questionnaire.Likert 5 points scoring method was employed to evaluate the job hunting and SPSS 17.0 seftware was used to do statistical analysis.Results The ‘ problem behaviors' with the highest scores were conformism and comparison [(3.93 ± 0.628) and (3.80 ± 0.847) respectively)].Self factors influencing students' behavior in career choice included the capacity for self-definition (3.62 ± 0.855),personal values (3.55 ± 0.893) and legal awareness (3.51 ± 1.039).Meanwhile,the factor with the highest score was education cost (3.93 ± 0.887).Besides,influences of family expectation (3.43 ± 0.945),employment environment (3.40 ± 0.940) and college educational system (3.28 ± 1.038) were also outstanding.Conclusions Medical students'‘ problem behaviors' during job hunting are diverse and are influenced by many factors.So,we are supposed to strengthen the education and guidance from the self factors,combining the actions of school,family and society to promote medical students' employment.
