Theinnate immunity system of human body has more and more attention for its antibacterial, antiviral, maintainingimmunehemostasis and promoting tissue damage and repair and other physiological functions.As members of NOD-like receptors(NLRs), NOD1 and NOD2 receptors are identified as intracellular pattern recognition receptors(PRRs), can be identified with molecular damage endogenous(damage-associated molecular patterns, DAMPs)and exogenous injury-molecular pathogen associated molecular(pathogen-associated molecular patterns, PAMPs), and initiation of innate and specific immune response, maintain the steady balance of body.Recently, a bunch of evidence have demonstrated that the importance of NOD1 receptor and NOD2 receptor is not limited in field of anti-infection, and the insulin resistance, kidney and liver damage recovery, cardiovascular disease and tumorigenesis are also closely related with these two receptors.So the aim of this article is to interpret the NOD1 and NOD2 general structure and function, and summarize the link between these two PRRs and tumorigenesis and finally make a clue for cancer immunotherapy.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical value of miRNA -22 in esophageal and gastric cancer tissues and cell lines.Methods Realtime -PCR was performed to detect the expression of miRNA -22 in human esophageal cancer cell lines ECA109,TE -1,TE -8,TE -13 and normal esophageal epithelial cells HEEC,48 cases of esophageal cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues,human gastric cancer cell lines SGC -7901,MKN -45,NCI -N87,AGS,NUGC -3,SUN -1,normal human gastric mucosa cell line GES -1 and normal stomach fibroblastic cell NSFC,88 cases of gastric cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues.Results The expression of miRNA -22 was much less in four esophageal cancer cell lines than that of immortalized normal esophageal epithelial cells HEEC,and the expression of miRNA -22 was much less in six gastric cancer cell lines than that of gastric mucosal epithelial cell line GES -1 and normal stomach fibroblastic cell line NSFC.The esophageal cancer tissues showed aberrant down regulation of miRNA -22 compared with the adjacent non -tumor tissues [(3.51 ±1.05)vs.(11.23 ±2.95),t =18.13,P <0.05].The gastric cancer tissues showed aberrant down regula-tion of miRNA -22 compared with the adjacent non -tumor tissues [(2.15 ±1.23)vs.(9.14 ±2.86),t =22.93, P <0.05].Conclusion The expression of miRNA -22 was much lower in esophageal and gastric cancer tissues and cell lines,which provided basement to nosogenesis,early diagnosis and create drug treatment of the cancers.

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of autogenous bone grafts in unilateral cleft lip and palate patients following early orthodontic tooth movement,and to determine the volume of new bone formation in the bone grafted region with spiral computed tomography.Methods Computed tomography scans of 12 patients were taken immediately preoperatively and at 6 months postoperatively.The patients underwent bone grafting between 9 and 13 years of age were divided into two groups based on whether postoperative orthodontic tooth movement were initiated or not.Three-dimensional models were created in each period,and the defect of alveolar cleft and volume of the newly formed bone were calculated in each patient.The roots of the moved teeth and their positions to the alveolar bone were also observed.Results The preoperative cleft width and cleft volume were not significantly different between both groups.The volume of the newly formed bone in group A was (0.98±0.23) mm3,significantly higher than that in group B,which was (0.73± 0.15) mm3.The rate of newly formed bone in group A was (72.5 ± 11.9)%,significantly higher than that in group B,which was (53.2±9.7)%.The cleft adjacent teeth could move smoothly into the bone grated area,with no root resorption observed in the computed tomography scans.Conclusions Early orthodontic tooth movement can reduce bone resorption in autogenous bone grafted unilateral cleft lip and palate patients through the observation of spiral computed tomography.It plays an active role in the bone remolding process after bone grafting.

Objective To analyze the mutations in keratin 1 (KRT1), KRT9 and KRT10 genes in a Chinese family with epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (EPPK). Methods Clinical data were collected from a family with EPPK. Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of 12 family members, including 6 patients and 6 unaffected members, as well as from 50 unrelated normal human controls. PCR was performed to amplify all the exons and flanking sequences of KRT1, KRT9 and KRT10 genes followed by DNA sequencing.Results A missense mutation C.1436T > C was found in the highly conserved helix termination motif of KRT1 gene of all the patients, resulting in a substitution of isoleucine by threonine at position 479 of the KRT1 protein. No mutation was found in the unaffected members or unrelated controls. Conclusions The missense mutation C.1436T > C in K.RT1 gene is likely to be the main cause of the phenotype of EPPK in this family.This is the first report of a pedigree with KRT1 gene mutation-induced EPPK in China.

Objective To detect the steroid sulfatase (STS) gene mutation in a Chinese pedigree with X-linked ichthyosis (XLI). Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of 3 affected patients and unaffected members in this family and 50 unrelated healthy volunteers followed by the amplification of the exon 1 and exon 10 of STS gene by PCR. Results Complete deletion of the exon 1 to 10 of STS gene was detected in all the patients in this pedigree with XLI, while no mutation was found in this gene in unaffected members of this family or normal human controls. Conclusion The complete deletion of STS gene is likely to be the main cause of the phenotype of XLI in this family.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of Yinzhi-huang combined with probiotics in the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.Methods 80 neonates of hyperbilirubinemia were recruited into a treatment group (40 cases) and a control group (40 cases).The control group was treated with the gap blue light irradiation,besides,patients with rapid increase or high level of bilirubin were additionally treated with acid-correcting agents,Liver enzyme inducer,and albumin infusion; while the treatment group was additionally treated with Yinzhi-huang and probiotics on the basis of the control group.The values of serum total bilirubin before the treatment Was determined in both groups.During treatment,the changes of daily bilirubin,were monitored with percutaneous bilirubin monitor,and the time for serum bilirubin values decreased to normal level was studied in both groups.Results The two groups showed no significant difference in examination of the serum bilirubin values before treatment(P>0.05).The daily bilirubin decreased value of treatment group(53.07± 17.80) μmol/L showed statistically significant compared with the control group(30.56± 13.43)μmol/L(P<0.05); the time for serum bilirubin values decreased to normal level in the treatment group (4.87± 2.06) d was significantly different compared with the control group (7.12± 2.33) d,(P< 0.05).The apparent effective rate in the treatment group 75% (30/40) was higher than that in the control group 35%(14/40)with statistical significance(x2=5.89,P<0.05).The total effective rate in the treatment group 92.5% (37/40)was higher than the control group 75% (30/40)with statistical significance (x2=4.50,P<0.05).Conclusion Yinzhi-huang combined with probiotics has better effects than conventional treatment in decreasing the daily bilirubin values,restoring normal serum bilirubin time of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and it is worthy of clinical application.
