Objective:To evaluate the utilization of antifungal drugs in Nanjing area, and provide clinical reference for the rational use of antifungal drugs. Methods:According to the sales data of antifungal drugs in 34 hospitals in Nanjing area from 2013 to 2015, the utilization of antifungal drugs was analyzed in respects of consumption sum, DDDs and DDC. Results:The consumption sum and use of antifungal drugs increased year by year. The maximum amount of consumption sum growth rate was 41. 13%. Triazole drugs oc-cupied the top of consumption sum during the past three years, and the sales amount accounted for more than 60% of all. In term of consumption sum, voriconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole and caspofungin ranked top 4 of antifungal drugs. Clotrimazole topical prepa-rations and oral itraconazole ranked top 2 of DDDs, and caspofungin, micafungin and voriconazole ranked top 3 of DDC. Conclusion:The clinical application of antifungal drugs continues to increase during 2013 and 2015. Invasive fungal infection is a lethal factor at high risk. Choosing reasonable, effective, safe and economic of antifungal drugs is the first principle in clinical treatment.

Objective To compare the different operation routes of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (up‐to‐down vs.medial‐to‐lateral dissection sequences ).Methods In total ,56 cases enrolled in the Central Hospital of Wuhan between Janu‐ary 2013 and January 2014 were randomly divided into the up‐to‐down group and medial‐to‐lateral group.Statistical data in terms of general information ,operation time ,blood loss ,rate of conversion to open surgery ,number of lymph nodes harvested , postoperative complications ,time to first bowel movement and hospital stay time were compared and analyzed.Results The up‐to‐down group has the advantages of shorter operation time [(128.24 ± 21.14) min vs.(166.45 ± 30.23) min ,P<0.01] ,lower conversion rate(0% vs.7.14% ,P=0.035)and less blood loss= [(45.67 ± 10.66) mL vs.(78.45 ± 40.28) mL ,P<0.01] than the medial‐to‐lateral group.However ,there were no significant differences in terms of general information ,number of lymph nodes harvested ,rate of postoperative complications ,time to first bowel movement and hospital stay time (all P>0.05) .Conclu‐sion Taking the superiority of broad perspective ,clear image ,safety and less blood loss into consideration ,the up‐to‐down op‐eration route of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy deserves clinical recommendation.

Aim To investigate the protective effects of Aplysin on ethanol-induced oxidative damage in rat pri-mary hepatocytes. Methods Rat primary hepatocytes were obtained via the portal vein collagenaseⅣin situ perfusion technique followed by a Percoll density gradi-ent centrifuge. MTT test was used to determine the op-timum dose of Aplysin and ethanol, and detect the cell vitality in primary hepatocytes. Supernatants of primary hepatocytes were harvested to measure AST and LDH level, and the SOD, GSH-PX activities and MDA con-tent in primary hepatocytes were observed. Flow cy-tometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis rate. DNA damage in primary hepatocytes was detected by single-cell gel electrophoresis assay. The level of mitochon-drial membrane potential in primary hepatocytes was tested by fluorogenic probe JC-1 . The CYP2 E1 activity in primary hepatocytes was detected by colorimetry. The proteins of CYP2 E1 were detected by Western blot. Results 300 mmol·L-1 dose of ethanol and 30 mg·L-1 dose of Aplysin were the optimal dosages and were used in the subsequent experiments. Hepatocyte vitality was significantly increased in Aplysin group compared to that in ethanol group, and Aplysin inhibi-ted the release of AST and LDH(P<0. 05). For Apl-ysin treatment group, the activities of hepatocyte SOD and GSH were significantly increased, and MDA was markedly lowered as compared with those in ethanol group( P <0. 05 ) . Aplysin could alleviate hepatocyte apoptosis significantly, and hepatocyte DNA damage rates of Ⅱ ~Ⅲ level and Ⅳ level were significantly lowered in Aplysin treatment group as compared with those in ethanol group, and Aplysin had evident im-provement in alcohol induced mitochondria damage of hepatocyte. Primary hepatocyte activities and protein expression of CYP2 E1 were markedly lowered in Aply-sin treatment group as compared with those in ethanol group(P<0. 05). Conclusion Aplysin has protective effects on liver oxidative damage induced by alcohol of primary cultured rat hepatocytes by blocking CYP2 E1 activation, relieving oxidative stress, and sharpening the oxidation resistance ability.

Objective To investigate the prevalence rate of thyroid nodules as well as related influencing factors. Methods In this clinical study, 8,912 healthy people were included, involving medical staff, teachers, electric enterprise staff and civil authorities from January to December in 2014 . The prevalence rate of thyroid nodules and related influencing factors were investigated . Results (1) The prevalence rate of thyroid nodules was 40.4%, 34.9%for male and 46.7%for female. The prevalence of female was higher than that of male (P<0.001);(2) The prevalence rate of thyroid nodules showed a trend of increase with age (P<0.01);(3) The prevalence rate of thyroid nodules in medical staff and teachers was significantly higher than others (P<0.001);(4) The difference was statistically significant in BMI, blood pressure, blood lipid, blood glucose in thyroid nodule group and non thyroid nodules group (P<0.001). All indexes mentioned above of thyroid nodule group was much higher than those of non thyroid nodules group. (5) The prevalence rate of breast hyperplasia of females under the age of fifty years was significantly higher than those of non thyroid nodule group (P<0.001). Conclusion The prevalence rate of thyroid nodules is high. It is related to gender, age, occupation and estrogen. Effective measures should be taken to change people's bad habits, blood sugar control and blood pressure, reduce BMI and work tension in order to reduce the incidence of thyroid nodules.

AIM:To detect the expression of miRNA-363 and SOX4 in osteosarcoma tissues and to investigate the effect of miRNA-363 on the viability and apoptosis of human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63.METHODS: Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression level and the relationship of miRNA-363 and SOX4 mRNA in the osteosarcoma tis-sues and the corresponding paratumorous tissues collected from 63 patients.The expression levels of miRNA-363 and SOX4 in osteosarcoma cell line MG-63 after transfected with miRNA-363 mimics were measured .The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay.Flow cytometry was used to monitor the changes of cell cycle and apoptosis .The changes of SOX4 and miRNA-363 expression levels in the MG-63 cells after transfection with SOX4 siRNA or pcDNA/SOX4 was detect by real-time PCR.RESULTS:The expressed level of miRNA-363 was lower , and the expression level of SOX 4 was higher in the osteosarcoma tissues than those in the adjacent normal tissues .A significantly negative correlation between the expression levels of miRNA-363 and SOX4 was observed .The expression of miRNA-363 in the MG-63 cells after transfection with miRNA-363 mimics was significantly up-regulated, while the expression of SOX4 in the MG-63 cells was significantly down-regulated , with significant difference as compared with the cells transfected with miRNA-NC and control cells .The viability of MG-63 cells was inhibited, the cell cycle was arrested in G0/G1 phase, and the cell apoptosis was increased by transfec-tion with miRNA-363 mimics.The relative protein expression levels of SOX 4 in SOX4 siRNA group and pcNDA/SOX4 group were significantly different from those in negative control group , but the relative expression levels of miRNA-363 had no significant difference .Over-expression of SOX4 restored the viability of the MG-63 cells reduced by miR-363.CON-CLUSION:The expression level of miRNA-363 is low in human osteosarcoma tissue .miRNA-363 may inhibits the viabili-ty of osteosarcoma cell line MG-63 and promotes cell apoptosis in vitro via inhibiting the SOX4 expression.
