Objective: To conduct systematic evaluation on the dermatologic toxicity caused by targeted anti-cancer drugs in children and teenager to provide reference for future studies and clinical practice.Methods: Pubmed(http:∥www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/), American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meetings' Online Abstracts Database(http:∥www.asco.org/) and ClinicalTrials.gov(http:∥www.clinicaltrials.gov) were searched for the clinical trials on the use of targeted anti-cancer drugs (single or combination) in children and teenager complicated with dermatologic toxicity.Methodological quality assessment was performed for the included studies, using Cochrane's risk of bias assessment tool for randomized controlled trials and methodological index for non-randomized studies (MINORS).Meta-analysis was performed for the outcomes including adverse event rate of skin rash, xerosis, pruritis and mucositis.Results: A total of 24 studies with 960 patients were included in this study.Various solid tumors and leukemia were investigated in the studies.The quality assessment revealed that the majority of included studies were with high quality.According to the results of meta-analysis, the pooled event rate and 95% confidence interval were 0.19[0.12-0.28],0.24[0.06-0.51],0.12[0.04-0.24] and 0.21[0.07-0.39] for skin rash, xerosis, pruritis and mucositis, respectively.Publication bias analysis indicated potential reporting bias for skin rash (Egger's P=0.007).Conclusion: Dermatologic adverse events occur in a part of children and teenager with cancer treated with targeted therapy, which may cause impaired quality of life and disability.Adequate attention should be paid to these events during clinical trials and real life practice.

Purpose To study the expression of zeb-1 and c-jun in gastric cancer and its influence of occurrence and development of tumor. Methods The expression zeb-1, c-jun and E-cadherin were assessed in 100 specimens of gastric cancer and their tissue adja-cent to cancer by immunohistochemistry. Results The positive rates of zeb-1,c-jun and E-cadherin expression in gastric cancer were 81%, 70%, 35%, and in tissue adjacent to cancer were 17%, 25%, 100%. The expression of zeb-1 and c-jun in gastric cancer were higher than those in their tissue adjacent to cancer (P<0. 05). zeb-1 expression was closely correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P<0. 05), which were not correlated with patient s age, sex and tumor size. c-jun expression was closely correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation (P<0. 05), which were not correlated with other pathological features. The expression of zeb-1 was negatively correlated with the expression of E-cadherin and was positively correlated with the expression of c-jun in gastric cancer. Patients with high expression of zeb-1 and c-jun had lower five-year survival rate than patients with negative expression. Conclusion zeb-1 and c-jun are closely correlated with occurrence and development of gastric cancer. They can be a index of judging prognosis of gastric cancer.

With the aggravation of aging of the population,the incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD)has been steadily increasing,mild cognitive impairment (MCI)is considered as a cognitive state between aging and dementia.However,the diagnosis of AD and MCI is difficult and mainly depends on the clinical symptoms and the corresponding assessment scales,lacking of the application of biological markers.In this paper,we presented a general review of the biological markers related to AD and MCI,so as to provide reference for their clinical use.

Objective: To explore the change of activities of the cardiac autonomic nervous system in the EMG biofeedback with the quantified index of heart rate variability(HRV). Methods: Various physiological signals such as ECG、EEG、EMG were recorded by Synchronous Multi-Signal Recording Biofeedback System, and HRV analysis was applied to the extracted ECG signals. Thirty healthy young men received the tests. Results:Compared with the resting state, when the subjects entered biofeedback state, the values of low frequency power, indicator of the sympathetic activity decreased while the values of high frequency power (indicator of the vagal activity) increased, and the values of low frequency power/high frequency power ratio, the marker of the sympatho-vagal balance decreased too. During the later treatment sessions (after 7-10 times treatments) the change exhibited statistical difference and achieved one stable level (low frequency power, baseline 3.98?0.21, 3.82?0.15, 3.93?0.16, 3.91?0.23, test state 3.55?0.32, 3.51?0.29, 3.93?0.16, 3.39?0.26, t=-6.85～-3.68,P

Objective To investigate the etiological and epidemiological factors of critical and severe burn injuries,in tending to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention of critical and severe burn injury.Methods The clinical data of a total of 1 043 patients with critical and severe burn injury hospitalized from 1982 to 2006 were retrospectively analyzed,and the sex ratio,age distribution,etiological factors,injury sites,seazonal distribution,duration before hospitalization,complications and fatality of these patients were statistically analyzed.Results From 1982 to 2006,the number of burn patients admitted to our hospital presented an increasing trend,and the number of critical and severe burn patients increased obviously.The sex ratio(male/female) was 3.3∶1,and it obviously declined during the last 5 years.The proportion of infant and childhood patients presented a significantly increasing trend,occupying 41.2% of critical and severe burn patients in the last 5 years.Summer was the predominating season for occurrence of burn injury(40.3%),followed by spring(23.5%),autumn(22.4%) and winter(13.8%).54.8% of burn injury occurred in daily life,the remaining 45.2% of patients got burn injury in work,but the former reached 63.3% in the last 5 years.Heat was the main etiological factor,occupying 85.5%,of which flame was the most important cause,and hot fluid scald was increasing in recent years.Only 51.2% of the patients went to visit doctor within 6h after injury.21.0% of the patients were complicated with inhalation injury,and 17.7% was in shock when they came to the hospital.The fatality rate of critical and severe burns was reduced from 16.3 %(1982-1986) to 4.2%(2002-2006).Conclusions It is urgent to prevent critical and severe burns,especially in the youth and childhood.Information regarding prevention,self-aid and self-protection in fire accident should be actively spread among both the workers in industrial and mining enterprises and community inhabitants.The methods easy to use for shock prevention before hospitalization should be explored as early as possible.

Objective To report the experience in diagnosing gastroenteric tuberculosis under en-doscopies, and arose enough attention to avoid missed or mis-diagnosis. Methods Biopsy is taken when lesions, such as gastroenteric mucosal protrusions, nodule, erythema and ulcer are found under endoscopies. Results In 7 cases studied, 2 of them are the gastric tuberculosis (1 ulceration, 1 proliferation) , the rest, colonic tuberculosis (4 proliferation and 1 mixed). Distribution of lesions: gastric antrum 2, each one in terminal ileum, ileocecal valve, terminal ileum plus ileocecum, terminal ileum plus pan colon, and ascending colon. Endoscopic diagnosis: colonic tuberculosis with infiltrative tuberculosis in both lungs 1; colonic malignant tumors 2, mucosal protrusions and ulcerative lesions with undefined nature 4. Caseous necrotic granu-lomas are found in all cases on pathological examination. Conclusion The various appearances of gastroenteral tuberculosis under endoscopies are hard in differentiating from those of colonic carcer, inflammatory bowel diseases ( Crohn' s disease etc. ) , gastric benign or malignant ulceration. The definite diagnosis of gastroenteral tuberculosis is greatly depended on pathological results.

High-mobility-group B1 (HMGB1), an abundant, highly conserved cellular protein, is widely known as a nuclear DNA-binding protein that stabilizes nucleosome formation, and facilitates gene transcription. Recent studies suggested that HMGB1 could be overexpressed and released from cellular nucleosome upon endotoxin and cytokine stimulation, or other stress challenge including burns, shock, as well as infection. Therefore, extracellular HMGB1 might be involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis and subsequent multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Moreover, experimental data showed that extracellular HMGB1 might play vital roles in nerves development, tumor metastasis, atherosclerosis and restenosis after vascular damage.
