Abstract In 2012, the National Museum – Náprstek Museum accessioned a collection of 13 Egyptian antiquities from the original ownership of Jaroslav Šejnoha, who served as the Czechoslovak Ambassador to Egypt between 1944 and 1946. The collection consists of 13 highly interesting pieces, dating of which spans from the Pre-Dynastic to Greco-Roman Periods.

Abstract Masks from Indonesia have been worn in performances in a number of contexts. In Java, masked drama occurred in the royal courts as well as in the countryside. In Bali masks are still a feature of daily life in connection with performances in temples and at life cycle ceremonies. Balinese masks relate to a range of genres. In Kalimantan masks are mostly used in rituals connected with rice-growing. Indonesian masks in the Náprstek Museum collections all come from one of these contexts, most having been used and later discarded, while some were made especially for the tourist market.

Abstract The article examines the printed borders which adorn a moderate number of Yangliuqing prints from the collections of the Náprstek Museum. They are made up of auspicious elements common in the symbolism of Chinese folk art. Their design differs and falls at least into two groups. The reason behind placing the border on a picture is yet unclear.

Eugen Strouhal was born on 24 January 1931, into the family of medical doctor Eugen Strouhal and his wife Antonie Strouhalová. His paternal grand-father was Vincent Strouhal, who served as a dean of the Faculty of Arts, and later as the Rector of the Czech Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague, and is considered the founder of experimental physics in the Czech Lands. After graduating from high school, Eugen Strouhal started studying at the Faculty of General Medicine at Charles University, where he completed his studies of medicine in 1956. During the following three years he studied prehistoric archaeology at the Faculty of Arts and History of the same university. He started his professional career as a physician working for the State Spa Resort of Františkovy Lázně. Between the years of 1957–1960, he taught at the Faculty of Medicine at Charles University in Pilsen. In 1961, he became a member of the Czechoslovak Institute of Egyptology at the Charles University in Prague, where he worked for the following eight years. As an archaeologist and expedition doctor, he took part on three field seasons of the Czechoslovak expeditions to Lower Nubia, within the framework of the UNESCO rescue campaign. He also co-organised the joint Czechoslovak-Egyptian anthropological expedition to Nubia in 1965 to 1966 and in 1967. The task of these expeditions was to document the physical state of the populace to be resettled from the territory submerged by the rising water of the Aswan High Dam. Besides the rescue exploration in Lower Nubia, he also participated on the archaeological works at Abusir, Egypt, namely within the Old Kingdom mastaba of the vizier Ptahshepses. In 1968 Strouhal decided to leave the Faculty of Arts and accepted an offer from Erich Herold (1928–1988), the then director of the Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures. In 1969, Strouhal became the first head of the newly created Ancient Near East and African Department – a post that he occupied until 1992. During his time in office, Strouhal organized the only comprehensive collection of Egyptian (as well as Nubian) antiquities in Czechoslovakia. At the very beginning, all Egyptian items then kept in various departments of the National Museum were concentrated in the new department.

Abstract The study focuses on the methodology of research on recycled clothing. Two Chinese Dragon Robes from the collection of the Náprstek Museum were remade as a men’s jacket and a woman’s evening dress. Both examples are described, analysed and interpreted from two points of view: as authentic Dragon Robes in its original Imperial China setting, as well as newly made clothes in the context of the early 20th century Western culture.

Abstract The paper presents results of CT and external examination of seven ancient Egyptian mummified isolated human heads from the collections of the National Museum – Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures. It is the first preliminary outcome regarding isolated parts of mummies from a multi-disciplinary project that aims to map all ancient Egyptian mummified material in public collections of the Czech Republic. The heads are well preserved and exhibit a variety of mummification techniques and materials.

Abstract In the beginning the paper concisely summarises contacts of Greeks with Egypt, focusing on their interests on the North African coast, up until the Classical Period. The brief description of Greek literary reception of Egypt during the same timeframe is following. The main part of the paper is dedicated to various African (and supposedly African) motifs depicted in Greek vase painting. These are commented upon and put in the relevant context. In the end the individual findings are summarised and confronted with the literary image described above.

We used hazard ratios (HRs) and risk ratios (RRs) to describe the strength of the association for survival (overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS)) and dichotomous (overall response rate (ORR) and SAE rate) data, respectively, with 95% confidence intervals (CI).</p><p><strong>Main results: </strong>Thirty-four RCTs (enrolling 13,787 participants) fulfilled the eligibility criteria.

背景:对一线治疗无效的转移性结直肠癌(CRC)患者的治疗管理是一项艰巨的挑战:目的:确定二线系统疗法对转移性 CRC 患者的疗效和毒性:我们检索了Cochrane对照试验中央注册表(CENTRAL)(Cochrane图书馆2016年第4期)、Ovid MEDLINE(1950年至2016年5月)、Ovid MEDLINE In-process & Other Non-Indexed Citations(1946年至2016年5月)和Ovid Embase(1974年至2016年5月)。没有语言或发表日期限制:随机对照试验(RCT),评估对一线系统治疗进展、复发或无反应的转移性 CRC 患者进行二线系统治疗(任何抗癌药物的单药或联合治疗,任何剂量和周期数)的疗效(生存期、肿瘤反应)和毒性(严重不良反应(SAE)发生率):作者从主要终点(生存期)和次要终点(肿瘤反应、毒性)对每项纳入的 RCT 进行了描述性分析。考虑到纳入试验中测试的药物方案种类繁多,我们可以对抗癌方案类别(而非单一方案)进行荟萃分析;为此,我们采用随机效应模型对数据进行了汇总。我们使用危险比(HRs)和风险比(RRs)分别描述生存期(总生存期(OS)和无进展生存期(PFS))和二分法(总反应率(ORR)和SAE率)数据的相关性强度,以及95%的置信区间(CI):34项RCT(共13787名参与者)符合资格标准。现有证据使我们能够解决有关转移性 CRC 患者二线系统疗法生存效果的多个临床问题。化疗(伊立替康)比最佳支持治疗更有效(OS HR:0.58,95% CI 0.43 至 0.80;1 项 RCT;中度质量证据);2.现代化疗(FOLFOX(5-氟尿嘧啶加亮菌甲素加奥沙利铂)、伊立替康)比过时化疗(5-氟尿嘧啶)更有效(PFS HR:0.59,95% CI 0.49至0.73;2项RCT;高质量证据)(OS的HR:0.69,95% CI 0.51至0.94;1项RCT;中等质量证据);3.基于伊立替康的联合用药比单用伊立替康更有效(PFS的HR:0.68,95% CI 0.60至0.76;6项RCT;中等质量证据);4.同时使用靶向药物和单独使用贝伐珠单抗时,靶向药物均可提高传统化疗的疗效(OS HR:0.84,95% CI 0.77 至 0.91;6 项研究;高质量证据)(PFS HR:0.67,95% CI 0.60 至 0.75;4 项研究;高质量证据)。在次要终点方面,肿瘤反应率与生存率结果基本一致;此外,抗癌疗效越高,治疗相关毒性越大,但含有贝伐珠单抗的治疗方案是个重要的例外,在化疗中添加靶向药物并不会导致SAE发生率显著增加。最后,我们发现口服(而非静脉注射)氟嘧啶类药物可显著降低奥沙利铂治疗方案患者的不良反应发生率(同时不影响疗效)。我们无法就该肿瘤学领域的其他争议方面得出任何结论,如治疗方法的排序(并非所有可能的比较都经过了测试,而且许多比较都是基于纳入少量参与者的单项试验)和生活质量(几乎没有可用数据):作者的结论:全身治疗可为一线治疗无效的转移性 CRC 患者带来生存获益,尤其是当靶向药物与传统化疗药物联合使用时。需要进一步开展研究,以确定最佳治疗方案,并确定从每种治疗中获益最多的人群。

Abstract J. V. Daneš (1880–1928) was not only an outstanding figure of his time in the international scientific community, but also a diplomat and a traveller. Two of his overseas trips led him to Australia and the Pacific region, where he assembled a remarkable collection of ethnographic objects and photographs. This collection, now kept in the National Museum – Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures in Prague, has been mostly neglected and unpublished for decades. This paper provides a basis for its further study by introducing Daneš’s journeys around the region and comparing them to the proveniences of the ethnographic objects.
