5.3 software. The quality of the included trials in the study will be assessed by the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool. The protocol for the meta-analysis will systematically evaluate the reliability of massage therapy for cancer patients with anxiety and depression. This conclusion will provide an important basis for evaluating whether massage is reliable in treating cancer survivors who feel anxious and depressed. INPLASY202060101.INPLASY202060101.Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a common skin cancer with an increasing incidence. Selleck DFP00173 As a pre-cancerous condition, actinic keratosis (AK) has an up to 20% risk of progression to cSCC. This study aims to define the potential genes that associated with genesis and progression of cSCC, thereby further identify critical biomarkers for the prevention, early diagnosis, and effective treatment of cSCC.Two datasets GSE42677 and GSE45216 were downloaded from the GEO. Microarray data analysis was applied to explore the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between cSCC samples and AK samples. Then functional enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and drug-gene interaction analysis were performed to screen key genes.A total of 711 DEGs, including 238 upregulated genes and 473 downregulated genes, were screened out. DEGs mainly involved in pathways as extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interaction, hematopoietic cell lineage, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K-Akt) signaling pathway, and focal adhesion. Candidate genes, including upregulated genes as JUN, filamin A (FLNA), casein kinase 1 delta (CSNK1D), and histone cluster 1 H3 family member f (HIST1H3F), and downregulated genes as androgen receptor (AR), heat shock protein family H member 1 (HSPH1), tropomyosin 1 (TPM1), pyruvate kinase, muscle (PKM), LIM domain and actin binding 1 (LIMA1), and synaptopodin (SYNPO) were screened out. In drug-gene interaction analysis, 13 genes and 44 drugs were identified.This study demonstrates that genes JUN, FLNA, AR, HSPH1, and CSNK1D have the potential to function as targets for diagnosis and treatment of cSCC. Striae distensae (SD) are common and aesthetically undesirable dermal lesions. The aim of this study is to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of different therapies in treating striae distensae using network meta-analysis. A systematic search of electronic databases up to December 1, 2019 was conducted. Randomized controlled trails (RCTs) examining the effectiveness of different methods in treating striae distensae were included. The primary outcomes are clinical effective rate and patient's satisfaction degree. Risk of bias was assessed by the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Network meta-analysis was based on Bayesian framework. Fourteen trails that met the criteria with 651 subjects were included. The results of the network meta-analysis show that topical tretinoin combined bipolar radiofrequency showed the highest probability of being the best method to improve the clinical effectiveness and patient satisfaction rate of treating SD (84.5% and 95.7% respectively), closely followed by bipolar radiorecise estimates of their relative efficacy.A 31-year-old male patient with psoriasis received administration of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) during a disease course of 14 years. He showed multiple keratoma together with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in left lower limbs. After admission, the conditions were stable after treatment, and received surgery for treating SCC. The skin defect was treated using full-thickness skin graft. The postoperative survival of the flap was satisfactory, and the conditions of psoriasis were well controlled. In this case, we presented the feasibility of graft in the donor site from a psoriatic lesion. Besides, we analyzed the possibility of SCC and keratinizing lesions.It is unclear whether the use of antibiotics is related to the efficacy of gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP). Therefore, we investigated the association between the use of antibiotics and efficacy of GnP.We conducted a retrospective single center study from January 2014 to December 2018 in Hokkaido University Hospital.Ninety-nine patients were eligible for the study. Thirty-seven used antibiotics (U) and 62 did not use antibiotics (NU) during GnP therapy. In the U group, 15 patients used β-lactam antibiotics, 21 used new quinolones, and 1 used carbapenem. The median progression-free survival was 5.8 and 2.7 months (hazards ratio [HR] .602, 95% confidence interval [CI] .391-.928, P = .022) and the median overall survival was 11.0 and 8.4 months (HR .768, 95% CI .491-1.202, P = .248) in the U and not use antibiotics groups, respectively. Antibiotic use (HR .489, 95% CI .287-.832, P = .008) and locally advanced pancreatic cancer (HR 1.808, 95% CI 1.051-3.112, P = .032) were independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival.Antibiotic use was associated with a higher efficacy of GnP, and therefore, it may be employed as a novel treatment strategy.The aim of the present study is to investigate the association of treatment package time with the survival outcomes and clinical parameters in patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.A total of 49 patients who underwent definitive treatment were enrolled. The treatment package time was calculated in days from the start of any treatment to the completion of all treatments, including postoperative treatment and salvage surgery for residual tumor.On univariate analyzes, treatment package time ≥118 days, sake index ≥60, Brinkman index ≥450, maximum standardized uptake value ≥42.45, and the presence of synchronous cancer were significantly associated with shorter oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma-specific survival. Moreover, a treatment package time of ≥118 days was significantly correlated with shorter overall survival and distant metastasis-free survival. On multivariate analyzes, Brinkman index ≥450 was significantly associated with shorter oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma-specific and locoregional recurrence-free survival, and the presence of synchronous cancer was significantly associated with shorter overall and distant metastasis-free survival.In conclusion, a relatively long treatment package time was a predictor of low survival outcomes in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma by univariate analysis.
