Objective To conduct a meta?analysis of literatures to explore the relationship of UGT1A1*6 gene polymorphism and irinotecan toxici?ty,so as to guide clinical treatment. Methods Papers were searched by PubMed database and manual search. The inclusion and exclusion criteria of studies were formulated and the methodologies quality was assessed,data were extracted and the statistical analysis was made using STATA12.0 software. Results A total of 12 articles were included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients with mutated UGT1A1*6 showed an increased risk for neutropenia compared to wild UGT1A1*6(OR=2.37,95%CI 1.58?3.55,P=0.001). Both homozygous and heterozygous muta?tion showed an increased risk for neutropenia compared to wild type and the homozygous mutation(OR=5.09,95%CI 2.74?9.45,P<0.001) showed an even higher risk for neutropenia compared to the heterozygous mutation(OR=2.07,95%CI 1.37?3.13,P=0.001). For severe diarrhea, mutated UGT1A1*6 showed an increased risk compared to wild type(OR=1.48,95%CI 0.86?2.55,P=0.153),though without statistical signifi?cance. The homozygous mutation performed a significantly increased risk(OR=3.51,95%CI 1.33?9.25,P=0.011)and the heterozygous mutation also showed increased risk,however,the difference between them was not statistically significant. Conclusion UGT1A1*6polymorphisms can pre?dict irinotecan toxicity,especially for incidence of neutropenia.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of near-infrared light combined with tacrolimus 0.1％ ointment in the treatment of facial glucocorticoid-dependent dermatitis.Methods A total of 68 patients with facial glucocorticoid-dependent dermatitis were enrolled from Department of Dermatology of Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital between December 2014 and December 2015,and randomly and equally divided into treatment group and combination group by a random number table.The treatment group was treated topically with tacrolimus ointment twice a day for 4 weeks.Besides the treatment with tacrolimus ointment,the combination group was irradiated with near-infrared light once a week for 4 sessions.After 4-week treatment,improvement in clinical manifestations such as itching and burning sensation was evaluated,so was the therapeutic effect.Results The combination group showed significantly higher response rate (85.3％ [29/34]) compared with the treatment group (61.8％ [21/34],x2 =4.84,P ＜ 0.05).Additionally,response rates for itching and burning sensation,erythema,scales and papules were all significantly higher in the combination group than in the treatment group (x2 =4.84,6.35,8.42 and 5.52,respectively,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Near-infrared light combined with tacrolimus ointment is effective and safe for the treatment of facial glucocorticoid-dependent dermatitis.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive and lethal human cancers. Cur-rent studies on the relationship between complicated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and PDAC prognosis have demonstrated inconsis-tent results. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between complicated T2DM and the clinicopathological characteris-tics of PDAC, and evaluate whether complicated T2DM is a significant predictor for overall survival in patients with resectable PDAC. Methods: In this study, clinicopathological characteristics were observed in 136 patients who underwent surgery for PDAC at the Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between January 2009 and February 2011. The relationship between complicated T2DM and overall survival of PDAC patients was analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:The median age of pa-tients was 60 years (range: 35-80 years). Among the 136 patients, 76(55.9%) were male. The prevalence of complicated T2DM was 27.9%in 136 PDAC cases. Preexisting T2DM was not associated with any of the clinicopathological characteristics (all P>0.05). Uni-variate analysis showed that complicated T2DM (P=0.045), maximum diameter (P=0.011), histological differentiation (P=0.013), pT stage (P=0.034), vessel invasion (P=0.032), and pTNM stage (P=0.030) were significantly associated with the overall survival of PDAC patients. The median overall survival time was 14.2 months for T2DM patients, and 18.8 months for non-T2DM patients. In mul-tivariate analysis, complicated T2DM [hazard ratio (HR), 1.873;95%confidence interval (CI), 1.187-2.954;P=0.007], poorly differenti-ated tumor (HR, 2.647;95%CI, 1.413-4.957;P=0.002), and maximum diameter≥4.0 cm (HR, 1.699;95%CI, 1.094-2.640;P=0.018) were the independent predictors associated with poor overall survival. Conclusion:Complicated T2DM was associated with poor prog-nosis. It could be used as a prognostic predictor in patients with resectable PDAC. If confirmed, these findings may provide a novel ap-proach for individualized adjuvant therapy.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of AKT3 expression in gastric cancer. Methods AKT3 expression data in The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)datasets and its clinical information were downloaded. Statistically assessed was performed for relationship with clinicopatho?logical factors and prognosis. Gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA)was used to predict the gene sets modulated by AKT3. Results The expres?sion of AKT3 was associated with T stage(P=0.001),TNM stage(P=0.049)and differentiation(P<0.001).High level of AKT3 expression indi?cates poor prognosis(P=0.001). AKT3 could regulate gene sets involving cell adhesion molecule,cytoskeleton regulation,focal adhesion and TGF?βsignaling pathway. Conclusion AKT3 could be used as a potential prognostic marker and a therapeutic target in gastric cancer.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the expression and significance of FGFR2 and c-Cbl in gastric carcinoma. Methods: The expression of FGFR2 and c-Cbl were detected by immunohistochemical method of SP. Results: The positive expression rates of FGFR2 and c-Cbl were 77.4%,71.0% in gastric carcinoma, respectively, both were higher than those normal tissue (P<0.05);The expression of FGFR2 and c-Cbl were positively correlated with depth of invasion and TNM staging, and there was a positive relationship between the expressions of FGFR2 and c-Cbl. Conclusion. The expressions of FGFR2 and c-Cbi were associated with some clinicopathologic features in gastric carcinoma, indicating that their expression may be the prognostic factors for gastric carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to arsenic trioxide（As2O3）and the level of reactive oxygen species（ROS）production.Methods The viability of gastric cancer cell lines MGC803,BGC823 and SGC7901 treated with As2O3 was determined by MTT assay.ROS levels of the gastric cancer cells before and after the treatment of As2O3 were detected by flow cytometry.Results Cell growth was significantly inhibited by As2O3 in time-and dose-dependent manner in three gastric cancer cell lines.The IC50（72 h）of As2O3 for MGC803,BGC823 and SGC7901 was about 2.8,3.1 and 10.2 μmol/L,respectively.IC50（72 h）of MGC803 and BGC823 was lower than that of SGC7901（P 0.01）,gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 was less sensitive than the others.The inherent ROS level of MGC803,BGC823 and SGC7901 was 20.3±2.0,64.2±3.3 and 57.7±2.0.After treatment with As2O3 5 μmol/L for 24 h,the peak level of ROS in MGC803 and BGC823 cells increased to 100.8±3.8 and 103.5±2.3,compared with inherent ROS level,the difference had statistical significance（P 0.001,P 0.01）,but the inherent ROS level in SGC7901 cells was 56.5±2.4（P 0.05）.Conclusion The sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to arsenic trioxide is associated with the increase of reactive oxygen species level.

Objective To investigate the role of nuclear factor kappa-B（NF-κB）signaling pathway in tumor necrosis factor α（TNF-α）-induced apoptosis in gastric cancer cells.Methods Human gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 was treated with TNF-α for 24 hours.MTT assay,flowcytometry and Western blot was used to detect the cell viability and apoptosis.Transient transfection was performed by using Lipofectamine 2000 reagent.The cells of experimental group and control group were respectively transfected with mutant IκB cDNA and vectors.Results Under the treatment of 100,1 000 or 10 000 U/ml TNF-α,the cell viability of SGC7901 cells was（99.2±0.6）%,（92.0±2.7）% and（97.9±2.2）%,respectively.Further study showed that TNF-α engagement led to rapid activation of NF-κB signaling pathway.Blockage of TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation by transient transfection with a mutant IκB enhanced the sensitivity of cells towards TNF-α-induced apoptosis.Conclusion In human gastric cancer cells,activation of NF-κB signaling pathway by TNF-α might be responsible for the resistance to TNF-α-induced apoptosis.Blockage of NF-κB significantly enhanced the apoptosis induced by TNF-α.

Objective To investigate the role of phosphoinositide 3-kinases （PI3K）/Akt signaling pathway in TRAIL-induced cell apoptosis, and the effect of oxaliplatin on TRAIL-induced apoptosis in gastric cancer BGC823 cells. Methods Cell proliferation was roeasured using MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was determined by flow eytoroetry. The expression of Akt and phospbor-Akt were determined by Western blotting. Results 100 ng/mL TRAIL caused little cell apoptosis in BGC823 cells. TRAIL activated P13K/Akt pathway. Pretreated with PI3K in- hibitor LY294002 （25 μmol/L）for 1 h followed by exposure to TRAIL for 16 h,the cell apoptosis was obviously higher （12.7%±3,1% vs 3.5%±1.1% ,P 〈 0.05） than that without the treatment of LY294002. Treatment with 38 μg/mL oxaliplatin blocked the activation of P13K/ Akt signaling, and enhanced the sensitivity of cells to TRAIl,, the rate of cell apoptosis increased to 35.5%±4.5% （P 〈 0.05 ）. Conclusion Oxaliplatin enhanced the sensitivity of gastric cancer BGC823 cells to TRAIL by inhibiting TRAIL-induced the activation of PI3K/Akt pathway.

Objective To analyze the clinical features,therapeutic effect and prognosis in patients with bone pain induced by malignant bone me?tastasis as well as the rationality of analgesic application,so as to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment for metastatic bone pain. Methods Totally 123 patients with pain due to malignant bone metastasis received antitumor therapy and analgesic therapy based on standardized three?step guidelines. Their clinical characteristics were retrospectively analyzed. Results The total pain relief rate was 85.4%and the pain was significantly relieved(P<0.05). The DUI value of each narcotic agent was close to 1 and the application of narcotic agents tended to be rational. The Kaplan?Meier survival analysis showed that patients with moderate pain had longer survival time than those with severe pain(P=0.015). The survival rate of patients with significant pain relief after treatment was higher than those unrelieved(P=0.021). The survival rate of patients without visceral me?tastasis was higher than those with visceral metastasis(P=0.000). The COX multivariate analysis indicated that the pain intensity and visceral me?tastasis were independent risk factors influencing patient prognosis. Conclusion Standard treatment can improve symptoms in most patients with bone metastasis and prolong survival time. Opioids have satisfactory analgesic effect for moderate to severe pain and the adverse reactions can be tol?erated.

Objective To investigate the factors of families related to the outcome of rehabilitation for cerebral palsy children. Methods Families of 153 cerebral palsy children were investigated with questionnaires of family condition, knowledge of cerebral palsy, compliance,and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, Marital Quality Questionnaire, Social Support Scale, Symptom Check List, Happiness Index.The children were assessed with Comprehensive Assessment for Disable Children before and after rehabilitation. Results There were significant differences of compliance, knowledge of cerebral palsy, being of other healthy children, personality of extraversion/introversion and lying,and mental symptom between the families of the cerebral palsy children improved or not after rehabilitation (P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, being of other healthy children, personality of extraversion/introversion and mental symptom were the independent factors. Conclusion It may relate to the outcome of rehabilitation for cerebral palsy children of family condition, personality and mental health of the families, which need further intervention.
