Fas -670 A/G polymorphism predicts prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma after curative resection in Chinese Han population.

Background: Apoptosis, also called programmed cell death, is a genetically controlled process against hyperproliferation and malignancy. The Fas-Fas ligand (FasL) system is considered a major pathway for apoptosis in cells and tissues. Thus, this study aimed to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Fas and FasL gene may have effects on the recurrence and survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after curative hepatectomy.

Multi-centered clinical study on effects of nano-amomi paste in treating children's anorexia.

Objective: To assess the effect and safety of nano-Amoni Paste (nmAP) in the treatment of children's anorexia (AR).

Methods: One hundred and eighty patients of AR were assigned according to the randomized, double-blinded, double-simulated and parallel controlled principle to three groups, the treated group (TG), the positive control group (PCG) and the negative control group (NCG), 60 in each group. The patients in TG were treated by sticking 1.
