Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a group of functional RNA molecules, which is more than 200 nu-cleotides in length, lacks ability of encoding protein and participates in all aspects of gene regulation. The current studies have indicated that some lncRNAs take part in regulating the process of breast cancer tumorigenesis and progression. This article reviewed the abnormal expression of lncRNA in breast cancer, its relationship to breast cancer growth, apoptosis, invasion and metastasis, and its function in early diagnosis, drug resistance and prognosis of breast cancer. This review was expected to offer an insight into a new target for the prediction, diagnosis and individual treatment of breast cancer.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics of abnormal lipid metabolism in different types of elderly people with hypertension.Methods The clinical data,collected from the elderly people who underwent annual physical examination,the characteristics of dyslipidemia and abnormal lipid metabolism in different types of elderly people with hypertension were analyzed retrospectively. Results The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 69. 63％, in which the prevalence of hypercholesteremia and hypertriglyceridemia was 23. 65％, and 26. 71％ respectively. The prevalence of hypercholesteremia accompanied hypertriglyceridemia( mixed group) was 19. 27％, and normal group was 30. 37％. Hypertriglyceridemia group was easier to be accompanied with hypertension than normal group and HTC group(P ＜0. 05). The hypertriglyceridemia had higher risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases than norral group and HTC group( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion The elderly people had high prevalence of dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome,and with high prevalence of hypertension, which led to higher risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The hypertriglyceridemia had more strong impact on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases than hypercholesteremia.

Objective:To explore the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on renal expression of TGF-?1 and HGF in type 1 diabetic rats.Methods:30 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 3 groups:normal control rats(group NC),diabetic rats(group DM ) and diabetic rats treated with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(group DC).Kidney-to-body weight ratio(KW/BW),mean glomerular volume(MGV),fractional mesangial area(FMA),urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER)and serum creatinine(Scr)were measured after 12 weeks of treatment,while transforming growth factor-betal(TGF-?1) expression in kidney cortex were observed by immunohistochemistry.The expression levels of TGF-?1 mRNA and HGF mRNA were detected by reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) at the end of the experiment.Results:UAER,Scr,MGV,FMA and KW/BW ratio were significantly higher in the diabetic rats than those in the normal control rats(P

Objective Compared with surgical operation,to investigate the clinical efficacy and advantages of interventional treatment in blunt liver traum.Methods 32 patients from July 2010 to October 2012,who were diagnosed as blunt liver trauma,received super selective hepatic artery embolization in Chinese People's Liberation Army in 98th Hospital.Another 27 ones received operation at the same time in Peolies's Liberation Army 98th (AAST grade Ⅱ to Ⅳ).Retrospective analysis of related cases was presented.The results were analyzed by t test.Results All of 32 patients that received super selective hepatic artery embolization were stanched bleeding successfully.All patients were followed up for 3 to 18 months,the mean follow-up time was 10 months,with no severe complications occurred or no lost cases.Conclusions Compared with surgical operation,interventional treatment had advantage that included eliable hemostasis,less operation time,minimally invasive and less hospitalization time.Interventional treatment had good effects on blunt liver trauma which were AAST grade Ⅱ to Ⅲ.

AIM: To study the effect of herbal compound poria prescription (CPP) on proliferation and differentiation in primary rat preadipocytes, and to explore the mechanism of this process. METHODS: Primary cultured rat preadipocyte proliferation was determined by cell counting and MTT spectrophotometry. Cell differentiation was determined by Oil Red O staining, and the expression of PPAR? mRNA was determined by RT-PCR. RESULTS: CPP inhibited the proliferation and differentiation of primary rat preadipocytes in a dose-dependent manner, and it also inhibited the expression of PPAR? mRNA. CONCLUSION: CPP inhibits the proliferation of primary rat preadipocytes and inhibits the preadipocyte differentiation by suppressing the expression of PPAR? mRNA.

Objective To observe the effect of transduetion of human wild type gene(wt-p53) mediated by recombinant adenovirus on cell growth, cell cycle and apoptosis of neuroblastoma (NB) cell line SH-SY5Y. Methods The NB cell line SH-SY5Y were transfected by recombinant adenovirus with green fluorescent protein(Ad-GFP). The suitable muhiplieity of infection (MOI) was determined after trans-fer efficiency was tested by flow cytometry (FCM). Both recombinant adenovirus(Ad) and recombinant adenovirus mediating wt-p53 gene (Ad-p53) were transfected into SH-SY5Y cells. SH-SY5Y cells without any transfection were used as blank group. The p53 protein expres-sion was validated by Western blot. Cell number was counted and growth curve was drawn. Both cell cycle and apoptesis were detected by FCM. Results The results indicated that the transfer efficiency of recombinant adenovirus to SH-SY5Y was satisfied, and 100 MOI was suitable. After transfection with Ad-p53, p53 protein was high expressed. Cell growth were inhibited, apoptosis and cell cycle arrest were in-duced in p53 gene transfeetion group. Conclusions Our results indicate that clinical application of the in vitro p53 gone modified tumor cell vaccine might be feasible and effective in clinical treatment of NB.

Cisplatin is a first-line anticancer drug widely used in clinic. However, its resistance reduces its efficacy. With a non-specific cell cycle, cisplatin's main targets are nucleophilic protein, DNA and RNA in cells. Among cisplatin's multi-factorial resistance mechanisms, abnormal expression of transport protein, intracellular detoxification enhancement, DNA repair capacity increase and apoptosis blocking are the main mechanisms. Because traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) have unique advantages in cancer treatment, their combination with cisplatin can improve the efficacy. In this paper, the authors summarized the advance in studies on cisplatin's resistance and the combination of TCMs and cisplatin in recent years.

Objective To construct the eukaryotic expression vector of Notch1intracellular domain,p3XFLAG?CMV7?NICD1,so as to prepare for the further research and exploration of effect of Notch1 on promoting epithelial?mesenchymal transition of human lens epithelial cells. Methods The cDNA fragment was reversely transcribed by RT?PCR from total RNA extracted from the SRA01/04 cells and was encoded with the specific am?plification?targeted NICD1was obtained from the SRA01/04 cells,then the cDNA fragment was inserted into p3XFLAG?CMV7 to transcribe Esche?richia coli DH5α.

Sarcopenia is closely related with age-related loss of muscle fiber, reduced physical activity, hormone level decline and nutrition deficiency. Though torque generation in knee extension, relative skeletal muscle index, lean body weight, electromyogram, gait analysis, grasp force, nuclear magnetic resonance and B ultrasonic examination are generally accepted as diagnostic method, there is not an unified standard in diagnosis. Through the physical activity and diet can prevent and reverse the tendency of sarcopenia, which also improve the activity of the hypothalamic-GH-insulin-like growth factor-1 axis. In future, the characteristic therapy of Chinese medicine science can be added into resistance exercise and nutrition method, or combined compound hormones with nutrition intervention to design orthogonal test for seeking the best interaction, and explore the long-term safety and effectivity by follow-up observation.
