RESUMO
Epidemiology studies have demonstrated inconsistent associations between type 2 diabetes mellitus and the risk of malignant melanoma. To this end, the aim was to perform a meta-analysis of cohort studies. Medline, PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library were searched up to February 2014. Cohort studies addressing the relative risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus on malignant melanoma were included in this meta-analysis. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was applied for quality evaluation. The pooled relative risks with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals [95% CIs] were calculated by using random-effects or random-effects model. Heterogeneity and publication bias were evaluated by I[2] and funnel plot analysis, respectively. Data was analyzed using STATA 11.0. A total of 9 independent cohorts from 8 manuscripts were entered this meta-analysis. Type 2 diabetes mellitus was slightly associated with an increased risk of malignant melanoma, and the pooled relative risk was 1.15 [95% CI, 1.00-1.32] in diabetes compared with non-diabetes with significant evidence of heterogeneity among these studies [P=0.016, I[2] =57.6%]. For the studies adjusted for age, gender and obesity, the relative risks were 1.21[95% CI, 1.03-1.42], 1.17 [95% CI, 1.01-1.35] and 1.11 [95% CI, 1.00-1.24], respectively. For the population-based studies in which case cohort established, the relative risk was 1.85 [95% CI, 1.31-2.62]. Type 2 diabetes might be an independent risk factor for malignant melanoma. Further studies are needed to specifically test the effect, and fully elucidate the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of unintentional injuries among children patients at age of ≤ 14 years so as to provide scientific basis for prevention of the children injury. Methods ICD-10 coding was used to retrospectively analyze the epidemiological characteristics of the children patients with unintentional injuries at age of ≤ 14 years admitted from January to December 2009 and the factors affecting the prognosis were discussed. Results There were 3011 patients, with 1991 males (66.12%) and 1 020 females (33.88%). The patients at ages of < 1, 1-4, 5-9 and 10-14 years accounted for 8.24%, 53.30%, 27.90% and 10.56% respectively. The patients from the rural and urban areas accounted for 56.16% and 43.84% respectively. Trauma was the leading sort of injuries in four age groups, accounting for 70.56%, 62.68%, 89.64% and 87.74% respectively. Fall from height was the first cause of unintentional injuries in four age groups, with proportion for 47.58%,36.39%, 51.90% and 56.29% respectively. Muhinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that hospital stay, therapeutic mode ( operation/non-operation), inhabitancy ( urban/rural), causes of injuries and injury severity on admission were the risk factors affecting the prognosis (P < 0.05 ). The rural areas caused higher risk of disability than the urban areas ( OR = 2. 170 ,P < 0.01 ) and non-operation produced higher risk of death than operation (OR = 6.352,P < 0. 01 ). Conclusions The male patients with unintentional injury are more than the female ones, with the highest incidence rate in children at age of 1-4years. Trauma is the main kind of unintentional injury and the fall from height the leading cause of injury.The difference of the rural and urban areas indicates that correct choice of the preventive measures based oh the condition of the local area can attain effective prevention and control of the unintentional injuries.

RESUMO
Objective To observe the photochemical effect of methylene blue (MB) on the inactivation of E. coli in blood and on biological functions of blood cells. Methods The blood was treated with 15 ?mol/L MB, 40 000 Lux halogen lamp irradiation and 0.35 mmol/l rutin for 10~40 min. The photochemical effect of MB on the inactivation of E.coli in blood was observed. The changes of biologic functions of blood cells were measured by means of RBC membrane binding to poly L lysine, reaction promoted by ATP enzyme and neutrophil phagocytosis tests. Results After treatment for 40 min, the E.coli count in blood decreased by 5 log units. The value of T/E of MB and irradiation of halogen lamp was higher than 1. No obvious changes of the morphology of blood cell were found. The negative electrical charges on membrane of RBC decreased by 11.23%~25.49%. After treatment of the blood for 20~30 min, the activity of Na + K +ATP enzyme of RBC membrane increased by 7.60%~20.07%. When the blood had been treated for 10~20 min, the positive rate of neutrophil phagocytosis enhanced by 9.00%. Conclusion MB photochemical treatment can effectively inactivate E. coli in blood. Under morphology specific condition of effectively inactivated blood bacteria, the shapes and functions of blood cells are not altered, but the RBC adhesion may increase by about 11.23%~25.49%.
