Chemokines have corresponding expressions in different tumor growth,metastasis or inhibition,and they may become the important standard of diagnosis and markers of prognosis for tumor in the future.Application of chemokine is especially important for the evaluation of tumor in clinical.By means of the studies of different expressions of chemokines in various tumors,it will be more in-depth understanding of tumors in micro-fields.Combined with clinical,the appropriate methods and means on targeted treatment can be taken for different tumors.

Positive linear correlation was found between TSH level and detection rate of congenital hypothyroidism (CH). When measured with a cut-off point at 9, 10, 15 and 20 mU/L of TSH, the sensitivity of positive detection rate for CH was 99.77%, 96.80%, 81.25% and 71.88%, respectively. TSH > 9 mU/L seems to be a reasonable cut-off value.

Objective To investigate the application efficacy of disposable circumcision stapler with compound lidocaine cream combined with lidocaine injection in the circumcision.Methods From September 2013 to November 2014,120 cases (11 cases of redundant prepuce phimosis patients), were divided into disposable circumcision suture group (S group, 60 cases) and conventional circumcision (T group, 60 eases) ,two groups had no statistically significant difference at patient age and wrapping case (6 cases phimosis of S group,5 cases phimosis of T group) (P ＞0.05.Patient's age ranged from 11 to 49 years.30 patients in each group were treated with lidocaine cream combined with lidocaine injection,and another 30 patients were treated with a local anesthetic lidocaine injection.Comparisons were conducted among the four groups on the operation time, anesthesia, intraoperative and postoperative pain score, blood loss and postoperative complications, postoperative appearance satisfaction, wound healing time.Results For the disposable circumcision stapler with lidocaine cream combined with lidocaine injection group, disposable circumcision stapler with lidocaine injection group, sleeve circumcision with lidocaine cream combined with lidocaine injection group and sleeve circumcision with lidocaine injection group, the operation time was (5.3 ± 1.5) min, (4.9 ± 1.4) min, (31.6 ± 3.4) min, (32.0 ± 3.3) min respectively, blood loss was (0.6 ± 0.4) ml, (0.8 ± 0.5) ml, (6.9 ± 2.4) ml, (7.5 ± 2.1) ml respectively, narcotic pain score was 0.6 ± 0.6,3.2 ±3.9,2.5 ± 1.0,0.5 ±0.6,intraoperative pain score was 0.8 ±0.9,1.4 ±0.8,2.2 ± 1.1,3.1 ± 1.1,postoperative 24 h pain score was 1.6 ±0.9,2.2 ±0.8,2.6 ± 1.3,4.4 ± 1.1, postoperative 48h pain score was 0.7 ±0.6,0.8 ±0.9,2.4 ±0.8,2.8 ±0.7, wound healing time was (13.7 ±1.5)d,(13.5 ± 1.7)d, (14.2 ± 1.3) d, (14.1 ± 1.6) d, the rate of postoperative complications was 6.6％ (2/30), 10.0％ (3/30),26.6％ (8/30), 33.4％ (10/30), satisfaction rate of appearance was 93.4％ (28/30), 96.7％ (29/30),70.4％ (22/30), 80.0％ (24/30).Compared with sleeve circumcision with lidocain injection group,disposable circumcision stapler with lidocaine cream combined with lidocaine injection had a shorter operation time, less pain, less bleeding, higher appearance satisfaction rate and lower incidence of complications (P ＜ 0.05), wound healing time had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Application of the disposable circumcision stapler with lidocaine cream combined with lidocaine injection on circumcision is safe and has got better clinical outcomes.

Objective To study the value of cervical length(CL) by transvaginal sonography in the mid-trimester and late-trimester for the prediction of preterm delivery.Methods The CL was measured by transvaginal sonography for 5277 pregnant women between 22-24 weeks and 28-32 weeks gestation,who were prenatal cared and delivered at the First Hospital of Peking University from June 2008 to November 2009.The pregnancy outcomes were followed,and the relationship between CL and preterm delivery and preterm premature rupture of membrane was studied.Results ( 1 ) The incidence of preterm delivery was 5.4％ (289/5370) total,among of them the incidence of therapeutic preterm delivery was 1.7％ (93/5370),spontaneously preterm delivery was 1.2％ (62/5370),and preterm premature rupture of membrane was 2.5 ％ (134/5370).There are 4 cases (4/5370) who occured late abortion.(2) Excluding the 93 women who had therapeutic preterm delivery,the mean CL of 22-24 weeks was ( 38.8±4.0) mm.The relative risk for preterm delivery when the CL＜30 mm was 5.2,when CL＜25 mm,the relative risk was 11.1,and when CL ＜15 mm the relative risk for preterm delivery was 13.8.The average CL during 28-32 weeks of gestation was ( 34.6±4.8) mm,was significantly shorter than that of 22-24 weeks ( P＜0.05 ).During this period the relative risk for preterm delivery when the CL＜30 mm was 6.9,when CL＜25 mm,the relative risk was 11.1,and when CL＜15 mm the relative risk for preterm delivery was 20.0.(3) A CL＜30 mm as the cutoff value for predicting preterm delivery during 22-24 weeks of gestation has only a 3％ sensitivity and 19％ positive predictive value,but had a 99％ specificity and 96％ negative predictive value.The sensitivity,positive predictive value,specificity and negative predictive value for a CL ＜ 30 mm as the cut-off value for predicting preterm delivery during 28-32 weeks of gestation was 33％,21％,95 ％ and 97 ％ respectively.(4) The total number of preterm premature rupture of membrane pregnant women was 134 (2.5％ ),who had a mean CL of (38.4 ±4.7) mm during 22-24 weeks of gestation,was similar with the women without preterm premature rupture of membrane ( PPROM),but during 28-32 weeks of gestation the women who occured PPROM had a mean cervical length of ( 30.6 ± 8.1 ) mm,and was significantly shorter than that of women without PPROM ( 34.7 + 4.6 ) mm.Conclusions ( 1 ) CL in 28-32 weeks of gestation issignificantly shorter than that of in the mid-gestation,but more than 90％ of women has a CL≥30 mm.(2)The shorter the CL is,the greater the relative risk of preterm delivery.According to different CL for clinical consulting objective relative risk could be provide.(3) The CL during 28-32 weeks of gestation can also predict preterm delivery,the sensitivity is obviously better than that of 22-24 weeks of gestation.(4) The CL during 28-32 weeks of gestation is valuable for predicting of PPROM.

Objective:To investigate the outcomes of the regimen with docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (TPF regimen) in chrono-chemotherapy, and evaluate the feasibility of reducing the toxicity and immunological damage in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients with distant metastasis at preliminary diagnosis, then to compare the advantages and disadvantages between chrono-che-motherapy and traditional chemotherapy. Methods:A total of 46 NPC patients with distant metastasis at preliminary diagnosis (UICC 2010 stage IVc) were enrolled in this study. These NPC patients were randomly divided into chrono-chemotherapy and conventional chemotherapy groups, with 23 cases for each group. TPF neo-adjuvant chemotherapy was conducted in both groups for two cycles, with 21 days to 28 days for each cycle. The following regimen was used for the chrono-chemotherapy group:docetaxel 75 mg/m2, infu-sion, d1;cisplatin 75 mg/m2, 10:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m., continuous infusion, d1-d5;and fluorouracil 750 mg/(m2 · d), 10:00 p.m.-10:00 a. m., continuous intravenous infusion, d1-d5. The following regimen was used for the conventional chemotherapy group:docetaxel 75 mg/m2, infusion, d1;cisplatin 75 mg/m2, infusion, d1;and fluorouracil 750 mg/(m2· d), continuous infusion, d1-d5, 120 h. Patients who obtained therapeutic efficacy via induction chemotherapy were provided with intensity-modulated radiotherapy as a concurrent radio-therapy and chemotherapy (DDP 100 mg/m2, infusion, d1-d2, with 21 days each cycle and a total of two courses). One month after con-current chemoradiation, an adjuvant chemotherapy with the same regimen as the induction chemotherapy was employed for a total of two courses. Acute and late toxicities were graded in accordance with the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 scor-ing. Tumor response was evaluated using the 2000 Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. The effective rates included complete and partial responses. Relevant data were analyzed by SPSS16.0 statistical software. Results:More emesis was observed at Grade 2 or above in the conventional chemotherapy group than in the chrono-chemotherapy group, with statistical significance between the two groups (P=0.035). After chemotherapy, the value of CD4/CD8 increased in the chrono-chemotherapy group and decreased in the con-ventional chemotherapy group, with statistical significance between the two groups (P=0.033). Conclusion:The proposed chrono-che-motherapy outperforms conventional chemotherapy in reducing the occurrence of severe vomiting. This chrono-chemotherapy may be advantageous in reducing severe bone marrow depression and may play a positive role in the immune function of NPC patients.

Objective Exploring the relationship between anxiety symptoms and neurometabolism in the ventrome-dial prefrontal cortex(vmPFC)of adolescents with bipolar depression.Methods Thirty-six adolescent patients with bi-polar depression were assessed and grouped by using the 14-item Hamilton anxiety rating scale(HAMA),including 20 pa-tients with anxiety symptoms and 16 patients without anxiety symptoms.The severity of depressive symptoms was assessed using the 24-Hamilton depression scale(HAMD),and 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy(1H-MRS)was used.The dif-ference of vmPFC neurometabolism between 2 groups was compared.Results Compared with the group without anxiety symptoms,the HAMD score[24.50(24.00,26.75)vs.23.00(22.00,24.00)]and the proportion of family history(40.0%vs.0)were significantly higher in the group with anxiety symptoms than in the group without anxiety symptoms(P<0.05).The level of mI/Cr was higher in the group with anxiety symptoms than that in the group without anxiety symptoms(0.58±0.12 vs.0.47±0.11),and the difference was significant(P<0.05).Cho/Cr and HAMD scores in patients with anxiety symptoms were positively correlated(r=0.589,P=0.006),and mI/Cr was negatively correlated with disease duration(r=-0.481,P= 0.032).Conclusions Anxiety symptoms in adolescent bipolar depression patients may be related to elevated levels of mI,a neurometabolite in the brain region of vmPFC.

OBJECTIVETo observe and evaluate the clinical efficacy of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) at auricular concha for primary insomnia (PI) and affective disorder.

METHODSA total of 35 patients who met the diagnosis standard of PI in(5th edition) were included. The self-developed auricular vagus nerve stimulator (TENS-200A) was applied at auricular concha, 30 min per treatment, twice a day, 5 days a week for consecutive 4 weeks. The follow-up visit was conducted at the end of 6th week. The Pittsburg sleep quality index scale (PSQI), 17-items Hamilton depression scale (17HAMD) and Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) were applied for evaluation. The PSQI, HAMA and 17HAMD were observed before and after treatment; the safety was also observed.

RESULTSCompared before treatment, the PSQI was significantly decreased to (13.20±3.61) at the end of 2nd week (<0.05); compared before treatment, the 17HAMD and HAMA were significantly decreased at the end of 4th week and 6th week (all<0.05). No adverse reaction was observed.

CONCLUSIONSThe taVNS could not only relieve PI symptoms, but also improve the depressive and anxiety symptoms, in addition, it may have positive long-term efficacy and safety.
