Lung cancer has the highest morbidity and mortality rate among malignant tumors. Early diagnosis and effective treat-ment are the keys to improving the survival of lung cancer patients. A type of endogenous, highly conserved, non-coding small mole-cule RNA (i.e., miRNA) was found to play an important role in the occurrence and development of this disease. Research on this molec-ular marker miRNA for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of lung cancer has rapidly progressed. This paper reviews the research work on miRNA as a molecular marker in the early diagnosis, treatment efficacy, and prognosis of lung cancer and explores some ques-tions related to this disease.

50% was seen in 7 cases after TACE and PEI(30%),and the 1?3?5 year′s survival rate was 52%?35%? and 9%,respectively.Conclusions Adjuvant chemotherapy was hardly beneficial to the treatment of liver cancer with parasitic blood supply after TACE, while PEI enhanced effect of TACE as a supplementary therapy as judged by long term survival. The change of sIL-2R, AFP level was a sensitive indicator for the outcome of the treatment.

Objective To evaluate effect of the non-fused recombinant antigen in immuno diagnosis of echinococcosis. Methods The coding sequence of the target gene was cloned into prokaryotic non-fusion expression vector pQE30 ( + ) and expressed in E. coli. The recombinant protein was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western Blot, purified with affinity chromatography and used in ELISA to detect specific antibody in patients' sera. Results SDS-PAGE and Western blot demonstrated that Echinococcus multilocularis immunodominant major surface antigen gene was highly expressed in E. coli. The result of ELISA showed that out of 68 echinococcosis sera, 66 samples (97.1% ) were detected positively by the assay. Only 2 samples (2% ) were positive in 100 sera from cases with other infective diseases including cysticercosis or healthy persons. The sensitivity and specificity of the assay were 97.1% and 98% respectively. Conclusion Echinococcus multilocularis immunodominant major surface antigen gene has been highly expressed in E. coli in non-fusion form. ELISA with the recombinant protein is highly sensitive and genus-specific for echinococcosis diagnosis.

Objective: To observe the effect of the intravenous infusion of vasostatin-2 (VS-2) on hemodynamics in experimental rats with spontaneous hypertension (SH).
Methods: A total of 36 (14-16) weeks male SH rats with the mean body weight at (160-250) g were randomly divided into 6 groups:①Control group, the rats received normal saline (100μl/kg),②Catestatin (20μg/kg) group,③VS-2 (5μg/kg) group,④VS-2 (10μg/kg) group,⑤VS-2 (20μg/kg) group and⑥VS-2 (40μg/kg) group. n=6 in each group. The average blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and barorelfex sensitivity (BRS) were monitored and compared upon VS-2 treatment and between VS-2 and catestatin treatments in conscious and freelance rats.
Results: Compared with prior treatment, VS-2 (20μg/kg) and VS-2 (40μg/kg) could obviously decrease the HR, BP and BRS in SH rats. In VS-2 (20μg/kg) group, HR by bpm was (341.3 ± 19.3) vs (365.5 ± 25.5), BP by mmHg was (133.0 ± 8.9) vs (147.5 ± 11.2) and BRS by ms/mmHg was (0.52 ± 0.18) vs (0.37 ± 0.12);in VS-2 (40μg/kg) group, HR was (348.8 ± 30.8) vs (374.5 ± 34.8), BP was (131.5 ± 9.3) vs (151.7 ± 10.8) and BRS was (0.53 ± 0.05) vs (0.38 ± 0.03), all P<0.01. Catestatin treatment could also decrease the HR as (318.7 ± 13.4) vs (365.5 ± 25.5), BP as (119.7 ± 7.3) vs (147.5 ± 11.2) and BRS as (0.58 ± 0.15) vs (0.35 ± 0.11), all P<0.01. Compared with catestatin (20μg/kg), the rats received VS-2 (20μg/kg) had the weaker reduction of HR as (318.7 ± 13.4) vs (341.3 ± 19.3), BP as (119.7 ± 7.3) vs (133.0 ± 8.9), all P<0.01, while BRS was similar as (0.58 ± 0.15) vs (0.52 ± 0.18), P>0.05.
Conclusion: Intravenous infusion of VS-2 may obviously affect HR, BP and BRS in experimental SH rats;compared with the same dosage of catestatin, VS-2 had the weaker reduction of HR, BP and BRS.
