Résumé
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor originating from mesenchymal stem cells, which features high degree of malignancy, strong invasiveness, easy early metastasis, and high recurrence rate. The clinical manifestations of OS are pain, local mass, limited movement, and pathological fracture. OS mainly occurs in children, adolescents, and the elderly, seriously threatening physical and mental health of patients, as well as their quality of life. The currently available therapies for OS are surgery, chemoradiotherapy, and the combination of the two. Although the therapeutic effect has been improved, tumor recurrence and metastasis and multidrug resistance still occur. Thus, the therapeutic effect is not satisfactory, especially in improving the overall survival rate of patients with metastatic OS. As a result, clinicians and researchers have been making efforts to find an effective therapy. In recent years, the mechanism of curcumin (CUR) against OS has attracted wide attention. CUR, a pigment extracted from the rhizomes or tubers of many plants, such as Curcuma longa, C. rcenyujin, and C. phaeocaulis, has a variety of pharmacological effects. Scholars have found that CUR has the effects of inhibiting proliferation, inducing apoptosis, and reversing multidrug resistance (MDR) of tumor cells, but also it has poor water solubility and low bioavailability, which limit the clinical application. This paper mainly discusses the mechanism of CUR against OS, the existing problems, new treatment methods, and future research directions, which is expected to provide new ideas for scientific researchers and provide a reference for the development and utilization of CUR in the future.
Résumé
To meet the requirement on trauma database construction and trauma care quality evaluation for trauma center by National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China, the authors put forward the basic fields of trauma database and determine the basic content of trauma database V4.0 by referring to the National Trauma Database content of US based on the fields of trauma database V3.0 and guided by the requirement of trauma care quality control and clinic research. This database consists of 137 fields, covering the whole process of trauma occurrence, first aid, diagnosis, treatment and outcome. Thirty-five quality control indices for trauma care are established. Preliminary application of trauma database V4.0 shows that it meets the basic requirements of trauma center construction and clinical research in China.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the dynamics of the reinfection of Schistosoma japonicum and related risk factors among the people in schistosomiasis endemic areas in China.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Literature retrieval was conducted by using databases of PubMed, CNKI,VIP and Wanfang to collected all the data about the human re-infection of Schistosoma japonicum and related risk factors in the endemic areas in China. And a Mata-analysis was conducted on the literatures met the inclusion standards.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Eighteen studies involving 12 604 people for infection survey and 3 128 people for re-infection survey were included in the analysis. The overall infection rate was 20.8%, and the overall re-infection rate was 21.0% . The difference had no statistical significance (Z = 1.12, P = 0.26). The re-infection related factors included baseline infection intensity (OR = 3.58, 95% CI: 1.56-8.22); the index of contaminated water OR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.08-5.22); distance from house to river-side (OR = 1.72, 95% CI: 0.41-7.30) and age (OR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.19-1.23).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The baseline infection intensity, the index of contaminated water and distance from house to river-side were the risk factors related to the re-infection of Schistosoma japonicum and age was a protective factor.</p>
