OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of antiemetics in cancer patients. METHODS:The utilization of antiemetics in cancer outpatients and inpatients from 87 hospitals involved inHospital Prescription Analysisproject during 2012-2014 was analyzed statistically by time or by hospital category. RESULTS:14 antiemetics were used in 87 hospitals during 2012-2014. The consumption sum and person number of antiemetics in cancer outpatients were 5763000 yuan and 34000 persons [22000 yuan/(year·hospital),133.1 person/(year·hospital) in average];those of cancer inpatients were 61711000 yuan and 515000 persons [256000 yuan/(year·hospital),2137.9 person/(year·hospital) in average];those of outpatient were lower than those of inpatient. The ratio of consumption sum of antiemetics in cancer outpatients and inpatients were 5.2‰-34.0‰;the ratio of person number ranged 2.9%-10.9%. Those of inpatient were higher than those of outpatient;those of special hospital were higher than those of comprehensive hospital. Main drugs included ondansetron,tropisetron,metoclopramide and palonosetron. CONCLU-SIONS:Antiemetics are frequently used in cancer patients,especially for 5-HT3 receptor antagonists and metoclopramide.

AlM: To observe the effect of dacryocystorhinostomy for the treatment of chronic dacryocystitis using nasal endoscope and discuss the operation technique. METHODS: A retrospective clinical analysis was performed on the clinical data followed up for 6 ~12mo from 140 patients (169 eyes) with dacryocystorhinostomy for the treatment of chronic dacryocystitis using nasal endoscope. The effect of the treatment was evaluated and the operation technique for the treatment of chronic dacryocystitis using nasal endoscope was discussed.RESULTS: ln all of cases 155 eyes ( 91. 7%) were recovery, 3 eyes ( 1. 8%) were improved, and 11 eyes (6. 5%) were failure. The total efficiency was 93. 5%, there was no significant difference compared with traditional dacryocystorhinostomy group (χ2=3. 743, P>0. 05). CONCLUSlON: Dacryocystorhinostomy using nasal endoscope for treatment of chronic dacryocystitis has a good curative effect. Techniques including lacrimal sac location and size, colostomy position and size, treatment of colostomy mucosal flap and nasal disease, postoperative follow - up and physical condition of patients are likely to affect the operation curative effect.

Glypican-3 (GPC3) is reported as a great promising tumor marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis. Highly sensitive and accurate analysis of serum GPC3 (sGPC3), in combination with or instead of traditional HCC marker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), is essential for early diagnosis of I-ICC. Biomaterial-functionalized magnetic particles have been utilized as solid supports with good biological compatibility for sensitive immunoassay. Here, the magnetic nanoparticles (MnPs) and magnetic microparticles (MmPs) with carboxyl groups were further modified with streptavidin, and applied for the development of chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA). After comparing between MnPs- and MmPs-based CLEIA, MnPs-based CLEIA was proved to be a better method with less assay time, greater sensitivity, better linearity and longer chemiluminescence platform. MnPs-based CLEIA was applied for detection of sGPC3 in normal liver, hepatocirrhosis, secondary liver cancer and HCC serum samples. The results indicated that sGPC3 was effective in diagnosis of HCC with high performance.

A chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay based on magnetic microparicles (MmPsCLEIA) was developed to evaluate serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) in parallel with tramional colorimetric enzyme-linked immunsorbrnt assay (ELISA).A sestematic comparison between the MmPs-CLEIA and colorimetric ELISA concluded that the MPs-CLEIA exhibited fewer of immunoreagents,less total assay time,and better linearity,recovery,precision,senitivity and validity.AFP was detected in forty human serum samples by the proposed MPs-CLEIA and ELISA,and the results werecompared with commercial electrochemilunminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) kit.The correlation coefficient between MPs-CLEIA and ELISA was obtained with R2=0.6703; however,the correlation between MPs-CLEIA and ECLIA (R2=0.9582) was obviously better than that between colorimetric ELISA and ECLIA (R2=0.6866).

Objective To explore the application of the automatic bone age assessment of BoneXpert software in Children and adolescent of China (Shanghai).Methods Left hand and wrist radiographs of 434 cases of children from trauma (264 boys and 170 girls) were obtained from Jan.2010 to Dec.2013.Bone age was assessed by BoneXpert software and 40 radiographs were randomly chosen and re-evaluated after a week.Results Seven images were rejected by BoneXpert,so the efficiency of the software was 98.4% and it takes only 14.5 s for every image.Sample assessments by two times are exactly the same.As to BoneXpert software,there were statistical differences between bone age and chronological age in 8 groups:7,8,9,11 years old boys and 2,3,9,11 years old girls(P < 0.05) out of 26 groups,and the average difference was about 1 s.The following modifications suggested that 0.57,0.79,0.93,-0.38 and-0.22,0.30,0.37,0.59 years could be added respectively for the groups of boys aged 7,8,9,11 and girls aged 2,3,9,11 years old according to their average differences between the bone age and the chronological age.Conclusions The BoneXpert method for automated determination of skeletal maturity which evaluates bone age objectively and quickly can be applied clinically after slight adjustment in some age groups.BoneXpert software is 100 percent automatic and could eliminate the subjective evaluation inaccuracy.

ABSTRACT:Nested‐PCR and loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) were applied to identify the Borrelia burg‐dor f eri (B .burgdor f eri) in ticks in this study .A total of 112 adult ixodes were collected from vegetation in a forest area and farm animals in Xunhua County ,Qinghai Province and Xinbin County ,Liaoning Province .The ticks were examined for the presence of B .burgdorferi by nested‐PCR and LAMP .Results showed that 12 in 51 samples were found positive in Xunhua County (23 .53% ) .While positive rate in Xinbin County was 29 .51% with 18 samples positive in 61 samples .In total of 112 tick samples ,the PCR‐positive rate was 17 .86% with 20 positive samples identified ,whereas 15 positive samples were con‐firmed with positive rate of 13 .39 % by LAMP assay .There was no significant difference between the two assays (Х2 =0 .85 , P>0 .05) .Results suggest that both nested‐PCR and LAMP could be used in identifying B .burgdorferi in ticks .Combina‐tion of these two assays could improve the testing results .This is the first report of B .burgdorferi in ticks in Xunhua and Xinbin counties ,and helps to complete the database of the infection rate of B .burgdor f eri in ticks in the widely‐forested area of China .
