MicroRNA (miRNA),an endogenous RNA,is wide spread in various organisms.Recent studies have found that miRNA plays an important role in cell proliferation,differentiation,apoptosis,immune and inflammatory response,etc.It's estimated that nearly 1/3 genes are regulated by miRNA.Because of its important role,the studies of miRNA related to kidney physiological and pathological mechanisms attract more attention gradually.it's very necessary to summarize the latest studies on kidney diseases.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the characteristics and regularity of ADR in secondary-level hospitals and above in Xi’an in order to provide reference for clinical drug use. METHODS:During Oct. 2012-Jun. 2014,1 372 ADR cases reported in 36 hospitals at secondary-level or above in Xi’an were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS:Among 1 372 cases of ADR reports,the incidence of ADR in the above 60 age group occupied the highest percentage,being 29.67%(407 cases);ADR reports were most likely caused by antibacterial drugs,accounting for 45.77%,followed by TCM injections(15.82%)and circulatory system drugs(9.55%);the largest number of ADR reports was caused by injections(1 210 cases,88.19%);the main types of ADR were lesion of skin and its appen-dents,accounting for 44.16%. The most number of ADR was induced by Levofloxacin injection,involving 95 cases. CONCLU-SIONS:Mastering the characteristics and regularity of ADR help managers to standardize clinical rational drug use and ensure patients’ medication safety.

Objective To analyze the outcomes of frozen-thawed blastocyst and cleavage embryo transfer after whole embryos cryopreservation. Methods The data of 489 IVF-ET cycles in reproductive medicine center of our hospital from September 2012 to August 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Whole embryos cryopreservation in 214 patients were carried out with vitrification method and served as group A , 275 cycles performed fresh embryo transfer were served as group B. Then group A and group B were subdivided into group A1 (83 cycles),group A2 (131 cycles), group B1 (120 cycles)and group B2 (155 cycles)according to blastocyst transfer or cleavage-stage embryo transfer. The clinical outcomes of all groups were compared each other. Results The pregnancy rate and embryo implantation rate in group A1 were significantly higher(71.1% ,53.0%)than those in group A2, B1 and B2 (A2 group: 57.3%, 34.0%, B1group: 55.0%,42.1%, B2 group: 52.9%, 32.7%,respectively)(P<0.05). The embryo implantation rate in group B1 were higher than those in group B2 (P < 0.05). Conclusion F-ET after whole embryos freezing could significantly improve the embryo utilization rate and clinical pregnancy rate. Frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer could get better clinical outcomes than frozen-thawed cleavage-stage embryo transfer.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer and the blastocyst derived from frozen-thawed cleavage stage embryo transfer.Methods The data of 5 1 8 cycles in reproductive medicine center of the hospital from Sep-tember 2012 to August 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.According to the frozen-embryos type,all patients were divided into three groups,group A:frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer,129 cycles;group B:blastocysts derived from frozen-thawed cleavage stage embryos transfer,123 cycles;group C:frozen-thawed cleavage embryos transfer,266 cycles.The clinical outcomes of all groups were compared with each other,and the rates of blastocyst formation and cancellation were compared between group A and group B.Re-sults The rates of biochemical pregnancy,clinical pregnancy and embryo implantation in group A(70.5%,61.2%,42.3%)and group B(67.5%,58.2%,40.2%)were significantly higher than group C(53.0%,42.5%,23.1%)(P<0.05);there were no signif-icant differences in the rates of early abortion,ectopic pregnancy,multiple pregnancy among three groups(P>0.05);there were no significant differences in the blastocyst formation rates of the high quality cleavage embryos at D3 in fresh cycles and the frozen-thawed cleavage embryos(62.5%vs.57.7%)(P>0.05)and those two groups were both significantly higher than the poor quality cleavage embryos at D3 in fresh cycles(20.3%)(P<0.05).Conclusion Blastocyst transfer in vitrified-thawed cycles could get rel-atively satisfactory clinical outcomes.There are higher blastocyst formation rate and better clinical outcomes of transfer blastocyst derived from frozen-thawed cleavage embryo.

Objective To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of Rome Ⅲ criteria in diagnosis of functional dyspepsia (FD) and assess its value in differentiate FD from other organic diseases in upper gastrointestinal tract. Methods Four thousand nine hundred and sixty-two patients, who underwent gastroscopy from July to August 2006 and March to April 2007, were consecutively enrolled and interviewed face to face with a standard questionnaire. The patients who were diagnosed as FD were according to Rome Ⅲ criteria, and those who were diagnosed as upper gastrointestinal diseases, such as chronic erosive gastritis (CEG), gastric ulcer (GU), duodenal ulcer (DU) and gastric carcinoma (GC), were done by gastroscopy and pathology. The differences of clinical characteristics among these diseases were analyzed. Results The FD patients accounted for 7.58% (376/4962) with female in predominant (P = 0.000). The patient with CEG, GU, DU or GC accounted for 29.99% (1488/4962), 1.89% (94/4962),4.25% (211/4962) or 4.57% (227/4962), respectively, all with male in predominant (P<0.05). Further analysis indicated that the age of onset between patients with FD and DU was no difference, but was younger than those with other three diseases (P<0.05). The incidence of early satiation and postprandial in FD patients were higher than those in other patients (P<0.05). The incidence of belching, nausea and vomiting showed no difference among these patients(P>0.05). According to Rome Ⅲ criteria, the symptoms of epigastric pain, early satiation, postprandial fullness and epigastric burning had higher sensitivity and specificity (except epigastric burning)in diagnosing FD (P<0.05), with highest Youden index in epigastric pain (0.42) and postprandial fullness (0.46). Conclusion Rome Ⅲ criteria has high specificity and sensitivity in diagnosing FD, and also has an important value in differentiate FD from other organic diseases.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum CXCL16 levels in patients with acute cerebral infarction and their relationship with the Trial of Org10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) etiological types of cerebral infarction. Methods The serum CXCL16 levels in 113 patients with acute cerebral infarction were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and they were grouped according to TOAST types. The patients between all the subgroups and/or 32 healthy controls were compared. Results The serum CXCL16 levels in patient group were significantly higher than those in control group (2.29 ± 0.21 ng/mlvs.1.75±0.21 ng/ml, t= 12.863, P= 0.000); The serum CXCL16 levels in large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke group were significantly higher than those in small artery occlusive (SAO) stroke group (2.38 ±0.23 ng/mL vs. 2.21 ±0.11 ng/ml, 1 =5. 743, P =0. 000), and both were significantly higher than those in the control group (q = 20. 501, P = 0. 000; q =13. 527, P= 0. 000). In the LAA group, there were no significant differences between the serum CXCL16 levels in ≥2 artery stenosis group and those in only 1 artery stenosis group (2.34 ±0.24 ng/ml vs. 2.46 ± 0. 19 ng/ml, t = - 1.969, P = 0. 054). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that CXCL16 (OR =0.972, 95% CI0.956-0. 978, P =0.001)and hyperlipidemia (OR =3.547, 95%CI 1.160-10. 848, P=0. 020) were the independent risk factors for cerebral infarction. Conclusions The serum CXCL16 levels increased in acute cerebral infarction, it closely related with the occurrence of cerebral infarction, and the LAA stroke group was significantly higher than the SAO stroke group.

Objective To study the clinical significance of lung function and allergen detection in the diagnosis of cough variant asthma (CVA) in children. Method Forty-three cases of chronic cough in children with bronchial provocation (diastolic) test and skin prick allergy test results were analyzed, CVA group was 23 cases and control group was 20 cases. Results The positive of bronchial provocation (diastolic) test in CVA group was 19 cases, significantly higher than that in control group (3 cases, χ2=14.745, P ＜ 0.01 ).The positive of skin prick allergy test in CVA group was 17 cases , significantly higher than that in control group (5 cases, χ2 = 10.243,P ＜0.05). The correlation analysis showed that bronchial provocation (diastolic) test and skin prick allergy test was significantly correlated (r =0.404,P＜0.01 ).Conclusion Bronchial provocation (diastolic) test has an important role in the diagnosis of CVA; skin prick allergy test has a supporting role on the CVA diagnosis;allergens affect on lung function, bronchial provocation (diastolic) test with the help of skin prick allergy test in children with cough variant asthma diagnosis.

Objective To preliminarily study on the values of microembolic signal(MES)monitoring in the evaluation of anti-Platelet agent or anti-Platelet agent+statins in patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease.Methods Among the patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease in the cm'otid system who performed MES monitoring the MES-positive patients were ramaomly allocated into dual antiplatelet group(aspirin 100 mg/d+clopidogrel 75 mg/d)and dual antiplatelet + atorvastatin goup (aspirin 100 mg/d + clopidogrel 75 mg/d +atorvastatin 20 me4d).MEss were monitored by transcranial Doppler ultrasound.Results Among the 60 patients with acute cerebrovascular disease in the carotid system,13(21.7%)were MES positive.in which,6 and 7 were randomly divided into dual antiplatelet group and dual antiplatelet + atorvastatin group respectively.There were no significant differences in the constituent ratios of sex hypertmsion,diabetes,coronary heart disease,smoking,alcohol consumption,and history of previous stroke as well as the age,time from onset to microembolic monitoring,and time from onset to drug intervention between the 2 groups.There were no significant differences in the numbers of microemboli(8.83±1.17/h vs.9.00±1.83/h)before treatment between the dual alltiplatelet group and dual antiplatdet + atorvastatin group (P=0.851);2 and 7 days after treatment,the numbers of micromixfli were 4.17±1.47 and 2.17±0.75/h respevtively in the dutral antiplatelet group,and they were significantly higher than 1.43±0.976 and 0.71±0.488/h)respevtively in the dual antiplatelet + atorvastatin group (P=0.002 and P=0.003).They were followed up for 8 days;and there were 110 ischemic events in both groups.Conclusions The dual antiplatelet agents or those in combination with statins might reduce the number of MES,but when they were used in combination with statins,the number Of MES reduced more significant.However.because there are only a few patients in the study,this conclusion still needs to be further validatod in a large-scale multicenter randomized controlled trial.The MES monitoring has a certain value in the evaluation of anti-platelet drugs or those in combination with statins

Objective To explore the technique of implantation of double-J stent via the guide-wire track, which was established through percutaneous renal puncturing, for the treatment of ureteral stricture and obstruction, and to evaluate its therapeutic effect. Methods A total of 75 patients with ureteral stricture or obstruction, who failed to respond to cystoscopic catheterization, were enrolled in this study. The lesions included benign stricture(n=60) and malignant stricture(n=15). Ureteral guide-wire track was established through percutaneous renal puncturing, which was followed by the dilatation of the stricture with balloon catheter and subsequent implantation of double-J stent via the guide-wire track. After the double-J stent was removed, the patients were followed up for 3 months to five years. Results The success rate of the procedure was 98.7%(74/75). Technical failure occurred in one patient with benign ureteral stricture. The cure rate was 70.7%(53/75), the improvement rate was 26.7%(20/75), and no improvement was seen in one case (1.35%). The total effective rate was 97.3%(73/75). Conclusion For the treatment of ureteral stricture and obstruction, the implantation of double-J stent via the guide-wire track, which is established through percutaneous renal puncturing, is a safe and effective method.
