Objective To adopt the network meta analysis method to compare the incidence difference of cutaneous squamous-cell carcinoma(SCC)and rash in 5 kinds of targeted drugs regimen for treating malignant melanoma.Methods PubMed and Cochrane Library databases were retrieved by computer.The retrieval range was from their establishment to November 2015.The network meta analysis pooled the evidences of direct and indirect comparison for evaluating the pooled odds ratio(OR)and cumulative probability of cutaneous complications occurrence difference in 5 kinds of targeted drugs regimen for treating malignant melanoma.Results Six randomized controlled trials(RCTs)conforming to the inclusion criteria were included.The meta analysis results revealed that compared with Dabrafenib+Trametinib,the cutaneous SCC occurrence rate of Vemurafenib was higher(OR=9.20,95%CI=1.26-52.53),while the rash occurrence rate of Vemurafenib+Cobimetinib was higher(OR=6.81,95%CI=1.01-41.87).The surface under the cumulative ranking curves(SUCRA)value showed that adopting Trametinib had the lowest occurrence rate for SCC,and adopting Dabrafenib+Trametinib had the lowest occurrence rate of rash.Conclusion Dabrafenib+Trametinibis generate the lowest complication incidence rate of malignant melanoma.

To report a case of fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase deficiency child with delayed diagnosis for seven years, and review the literature. A 13-year-old boy presented with recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia after infection since 6 years old, he also had convulsion and short stature. The laboratory finding revealed ketotic hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis, transient elevated ALT and UA. The genetic analysis showed compound heterozygous mutations of c. 960-961insG and c. 355G> A in FBP1 gene. Among eighteen patients reported in China, 88.9% had convulsion, 16.7% had growth retardation, the average delayed diagnosis spent 2.8 years, which could result in permanent brain damage and high death risk. The most common mutation was c. 960-961insG, followed by c. 355G>A and c. 490G>A, these mutations maybe hot spot sites of FBPl gene in China.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of drug-resistant mutations in reverse transcriptase and protease coding regions of HIV-1 in treatment-na(i)ve patients. MethodsPlasma specimens were collected from 88 patients from Zhejiang, Shanghai, Henan and Anhui. The entire protease gene and the first 1-251 amino acids of the reverse transcriptase gene were amplified by RT-PCR from viral RNA and sequenced. The sequences were analyzed with HIV drug resistance algorithm, and phyligenetic analyses were performed by PHYLIP software. SPSS 13.0 was used for statistical analysis, and Fisher' s exact test was performed to compare the proportions of each subtype between the groups. Results79 gene sequences were obtained, subtyping analyses indicated that 68.4% (54/79) were subtype B, followed by CRF01 _AE 24.8% (22/79), CRF07_BC2.5% (2/79),andCRF08_BC1.3% (1/79). 7 (7/79,8.9%)presented with primary mutations associated with resistance to antiretroviral drugs, mutations conferring primary resistance to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors ( NNRTIs ) were detected in 3 ( 3. 8% ) and 4 ( 5. 1% ) cases, respectively. Protease inhibitors (Pls)associated primary resistance mutations were not found.Conclusion Antiretroviral drug resistant mutations have been found in treatment-na(i)ve patients with HIV-1 infections, while the prevalence level is low, which indicates that drug resistance test is not necessary for most HIV-1infected treatment-na(i)ve patients.

Objective To investigate the value of plasma chromogranin A (CgA) in the diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), and to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of plasma CgA in different gastrointestinal pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP NETs). To investigate the role of monitoring plasma CgA in the progress of GEP NETs. Methods ELISA kits were used to measure the CgA plasma level in 56cases of GEP NETs, 52 cases of pheochromocytoma, and 7 cases of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and 52cases of normal controls respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of plasma CgA in diagnosis of gastrointestinal pancreatic endocrine tumor; pheochromocytomas and SCLC were calculated. The group of GEP NETs included 13 cases of gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors, 13 cases of gastrinomas, 12 cases of islet cell tumors and 18 cases of other type tumors of GEP NETs. The differences of plasma CgA levels and various sensitivities were compared in different types tumors of GEP NETs. Meanwhile the value of plasma CgA in the diagnosis of metastatic and nonmetastatic tumors in GEP NETs was determined. Results The median CgA levels and quartile of the groups of GEP NETs, pheochromocytomas and SCLCs were 84. 5U/L and 38. 3-175.5 U/L, 154.0 U/L and 53. 3-243.8 U/L, and 55.0 U/L and 19.0-79.0 U/Lrespectively, which were significantly higher than that of ( 18. 5 U/L and 12. 3-25. 8 U/L) normal controls (P<0. 001 ). The sensitivities of CgA in diagnosis of GEP NETs, pheochromocytomas and SCLCs were 82. 1%, 88.5% and 57. 1% respectively, and the specificities were all 96.2%. In the group of GEP NETs, the CgA level of gastrinoma was significant higher than the groups of carcinoid, islet cell tumor, and other type tumors of GEP NETs. The sensitivities of CgA in diagnosis of gastrinoma, carcinoid tumors, and islet cell tumors were 92. 3%, 84. 6% and 50. 0% respectively. In the group of GEP NETs, it showed significant differences in CgA levels in patients with metastatic and non-metastatic tumors. Conclusion The plasma CgA levels were elevated significantly in the GEP NETs, and showed a high sensitivity and specificity particularly in the diagnosis of gastrinoma. CgA also can be used as a marker in monitoring tumor development and evaluating prognosis during the clinical application.

Objective To study the effects of berberine on proliferation, migration, cell cycle and apop-tosis in hormone-independent endometrial carcinoma cell line HEC-1A. Methods Berberine' s inhibi-tion of HEC-1A cells proliferation was measured by using MTT colorimetry assay. Cell morphology was in-spected under an inverted microscope. Investigated Berberine groups were divided into high-dose group (50 mg/L), mid-dose group (25 mg/L), and low-dose group (12. 5 mg/L). Migration ability of cells in vitro was determined with Transwell. Cell cycle expressions were observed by using flow cytometry. Apoptosis of HEC-1A cells was detected with AnnexinV-FITC/PI double staining. Results Berberine may significantly inhibit the proliferation of HEC-1 A cells in a dose-dependent manner ( effective concen-tration of berberine ranged between 100 mg/L to 6. 25 mg/L) (P<0. 05). Berberine could markedly change cell morphology, which was visible under an inverted microscope, with vacuoles in cells, struc-tural damage even cracking into pieces, decreased adherent cells, and scattered alignment. Berberine could significantly inhibit HEC-1A cell migration especially in the high-dose group, on which amount the number of migrating cells decreased markedly. G0/G1 phase arrest was induced by low-dose group treat-ment after 24 hours. Berberine could accelerate total rate of apoptosis, early apoptosis rate and late apop-tosis rate of HEC-1A cells significantly; however, increase of early apoptosis rate was more apparrent. Conclusion Berberine could inhibit proliferation and migration of hormone-independent endometrial car-cinoma cell line HEC-1A, and improve the apoptosis rate of HEC-1A. Low-dose berberine may induce the cell at G0/G1 phase.

Nighteen people at a restaurant experienced dizziness headaches and other discomforts in six days. According to the description method, the time and location distribution were found to be concentrated. A second Investigation was conducted at the same time as the onset of the case, the test found that the carbon monoxide concentration of second floor up to 539 mg/m 3. The on-site testing found that when 2 steam generator in snack room on the first floor turned on, the carbon monoxide concentration on the top of elevator on the second floor was 1225.0 mg/m 3. After the accident, the restaurant replaced a steam generator, the carbon monoxide concentration on the top of the new and old steam generator were 350 mg/m 3 and >1 000 mg/m 3, respectively. After the steam generators were fitted with exhaust smoke pipe and exhasust hood, the carbon monoxide concentrations of on the top of the vegetable transfer elevator and the room on the second floor were both 0.4 mg/m 3, and there were no cases of recurrence. It was determined that this was a carbon monoxide poisoning incident caused by a high concentration of carbon monoxide emitted by the steam generators, which spread to the second floor of the private room through the vegetable transfer elevator.
