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 analyze the skin barrier function in patients with facial steroid dermatitis.Methods Ninety-five patients with facial steroid dermatitis were enrolled into this study along with 25 healthy volunteers as controls.Transepidermal water loss(TEWL)and skin hydration were measured in 8 facial regions.including lesional skin in forehead,nasal tip,submaxilla,both cheeks and angulus oris,and non-lesional skin in the left posteior ear.Results Compared with the healthy group,the patients with steroid dermatitis had a significant higher value of TEWL on lower mandible,both angulus oris and cheeks(t:4.90,2.60,2.57,2.54,3.77,respectively,P<0.01),while a significant lower level of skin hydration was noted on both angulus otis,right cheek and forehead(t=3.27,3.81,2.02,2.78,respectively,P<0.05).Among the 8 test sites in both patients and controls,TEWL value decreased in the following order:submaxilla and both angulus oris>both cheeks and forehead>non lesional skin on the posteroir ear,and the decrease in skin water content was highest in submaxilla and both angnlus oris,followed by cheeks and forehead,and finally by left posterior ear.Conclusions In patients with facial steroid dermatitis,skin barrier function is disturbed on submaxilla,both angnlus oris and cheeks,and TEWL value is found to be higher in perioral area,while cheeks have a lower level of skin hydration.

Objective To investigate the capability of bluetongue virus(BTV)dsRNA inducing IFN-β from human cells.Methods Artificial complex interfemn inducer polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (PolyI:C).BTV and BTV dsRNA were added to A549(human lung cancer cell)and HEL(human lung normal cells)culture system in difierent concentrations.IFN-β in culture median was detected by ELISA.Results Though all of the 3 reagents could induce IFN-β,BTV dsRNA significanay induced the highest level of IFN-β.The production of IFN-β was induced by BTV dsRNA in dose dependence.BTV dsRNA induced IFN-β level from HEL Was higher than that from A549(P<0.05).Conclusion BTV dsRNA Can induce IFN-β from human cells effectively,which shows its potential of an endogenous IFN-β inducer.

Objective To explore the microanatomy technique of the endoscopy-assisted extreme lateral supracerebellar infratentorial keyhole approach and clinical significance.Methods The extreme lateral supracerebellar infratentorial keyhole approach was imitated in 10 vascular perfusion adult cadaveric heads fixed in formalin,the dorsolateral mesencephalon region was dissected and observed by microscopy and neuroendoscopy from December 2012 to March 2013.Results The extreme lateral supracerebellar infratentorial keyhole approach could be fully exposed the ambient cisterns,the posteromedial tentorial incisura,the dorsolateral mesencephalon region,the trochlear nerve,the root of the trigeminal nerve,the superior cerebellar artery,the posterior cerebral artery and other important anatomical structures.The temporal lobe and parahippocampal gyrus could be exposed when the tentorial was incised.The application of neuroendoscopy could clearly reveal the trigeminal nerve and surrounding structures.Conclusion The extreme lateral supracerebellar infratentorial keyhole approach is suitable for the surgical resection in dorsolateral mesencephalon region.The application of neuroendoscopy can make up for the lack of the trigeminal nerve observed under microscopy and expand the operative field.

Objective To study the applicable value of resection of segment VIII after cryotherapy for hepatocarcinoma. Methods As for 8 patients with hepatocarcinoma in segment VIII, the turnor was dealt with cryotherapy before resected. Results All the tumors were resected smoothly after cryotherapy with less bleeding (mean 430ml), less time (mean 138min) and without severe complications or postoperative death in this series. Conclusions Resection of segment VIII after cryotherapy for hepatocarcinoma is proved safe and feasible, whitch can decrease blood loss, save time, reduce tissue injury, and decrease postoperative recurrence.
