International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2008;30(2):119-121
Artemisinin and its derivatives,which are known as traditional antimalarial drugs,have anticancer activities by inhibiting cell proliferation,inducing apoptosis of tumor cells,and resisting angiogenesis,etc.The activity of inducing apoptosis has become high-light for studies recently.Most scholars believed this activity was obtained by increasing apoptosis-inducing genes(Bax),decreasing anti-apoptosis genes(Survivin,Bcl-2),and regulating two-ways controlling genes,and finally led to the distinctive morphological changes.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of night work near the day of ovulation on outcome of pregnancy.
METHODSDaily early morning urine samples were collected from eligible shift women workers, and human chorionic gonadotropin(hCG), follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH), the urinary steroid metabolites of estrogen and progesterone(PDG, E1C) were measured to confirm the day of ovulation and early fetal loss(EFL). Questionnaires were used to know workshift, other occupation exposures, and related information.
RESULTS12 clinical spontaneous abortion(SAB), 18(EFL) and 44 clinical living birth were analyzed in relation to SAB, EFL and night shift near the day of ovulation by using single factor and multi-factor logistic regression. The result showed that night shift on the day of ovulation and the day before or after ovulation was related with SAB both in single- and muti-factorial analysis(single factor: OR = 2.48, 95% CI 1.10-5.60; multi-factor; OR = 3.90, 95% CI 1.28-11.90).
CONCLUSIONNight shift near the day of ovulation may be related to SAB.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin, which is named for its ultrastructure and immunophenotype similar to Merkel cells in the skin. It has been found that the integration of MCC with the oncogenic Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) may drive tumorigenesis or cause somatic mutations to the development of MCC because of ultraviolet ray-induced DNA damage. However, the pathogenesis of MCC is still unclear. This article introduces the current research progress of the pathogenesis of MCC, hoping to provide theoretical guidance for follow-up researches.

Methods:
The propensity score matching and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 448 patients with ICC who were admitted to 12 medical centers from December 2011 to December 2017 were collected, including 279 in the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital of Navy Medical University, 32 in the Mengchao Hepatobiliary Hospital of Fujian Medical University, 21 in the First Hospital Affiliated to Army Medical University, 20 in the Cancer Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Science and Peking Union Medical College, 19 in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University, 18 in the Second Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine, 18 in the Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, 16 in the Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, 10 in the Xuanwu Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, 7 in the Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, 5 in the Beijing Tiantan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, and 3 in the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College. There were 281 males and 167 females, aged from 22 to 80 years, with a median age of 57 years. Of the 448 patients, 143 with routinely intraoperative LND were divided into LND group and 305 without routinely intraoperative LND were divided into control group, respectively. Observation indicators: (1) the propensity score matching conditions and comparison of general data between the two groups after matching; (2) intraoperative and postoperative situations; (3) follow-up; (4) survival analysis. Patients were followed up by outpatient examination, telephone interview and email to detect survival of patients and tumor recurrence up to October 31, 2018 or death. Follow-up was conducted once every 3 months within postoperative 1-2 years, once every 6 months within postoperative 2-5 years, and once a year after 5 years. The propensity score matching was realized using the nearest neighbor method with 1∶1 ratio. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as
