Objective To investigate the expression of C-C chemokine ligand 5(CCL5) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC),and explore the effect of CCL5 on the biological characteristics of laryngeal carcinoma cells.Methods Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis(GEPIA) database was used to investigate the expression of CCL5 in HNSCC.The laryngeal carcinoma cells TU177 were transfected with siRNA(siRNA group),and the control(NC) group was set up.The cell proliferation,migration,cycle and apoptosis of each group were detected by CCK8 assay,cell scratch test and flow cytometry respectively.RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the knock-down efficiency of CCL5 and the mRNA transcription and protein expression of multidrug resistance protein 2(MRP2) and bcl-2-associated x protein(Bax).Results The expression of CCL5 in HNSCC was higher than that in normal tissues(P <0.05).Compared with NC group,siRNA showed higher knock-down efficiency(t=12.898 and 22.656 respectively,each P <0.01);siRNA interference with CCL5 inhibited the proliferation and migration of laryngeal carcinoma cells,and promoted the late apoptosis of laryngeal carcinoma cells and the expression of apoptosis protein Bax(t=2.600～11.667,each P <0.05).Conclusion CCL5 was highly expressed in HNSCC,while siRNA interference with CCL5 inhibited the proliferation,migration and promoted apoptosis of laryngeal carcinoma cells TU177 by up-regulating the expression of Bax,which laid a foundation of the possibility of CCL5 as a new target for the treatment of laryngeal carcinoma.

Objective To investigate correlation between vitamin D and glucose metabolism,lipid metabolism, insulin resistance,early secretory function of pancreatic islets in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes. Methods 115 postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes were selected as observation group.115 postmenopausal women without type 2 diabetes were selected in hospital at same period as control group.All patients received detection of vitamin D,glucose metabolism,lipid metabolism,insulin resistance,early secretory function of pancreatic islets. Correlation between vitamin D and glucose metabolism,lipid metabolism,insulin resistance,early secretory function of pancreatic islets were analyzed.Results Fasting blood glucose,postprandial 2h blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin, body mass index,total cholesterol,triglyceride,low density lipoprotein cholesterol,insulin resistance index in the observation group were higher than the control group [(8.5 ±1.2)mmol/L vs (5.1 ±0.6)mmol/L,(13.4 ± 1.5)mmol/L vs (7.8 ±0.7)mmol/L,(8.7 ±1.1)% vs (5.6 ±0.5)%,(25.7 ±1.0)kg/m2 vs (22.3 ±0.4)kg/m2 , (5.6 ±0.7)mmol/L vs (4.5 ±0.4)mmol/L,(2.3 ±0.5)mmol/L vs (1.7 ±0.3)mmol/L,(3.5 ±0.6)mmol/L vs (2.2 ±0.4)mmol/L,(3.6 ±0.5)vs (2.5 ±0.4),t =9.667,10.179,8.535,4.524,5.443,6.529,8.909,7.406, all P <0.05].High density lipoprotein cholesterol,insulin first secretion phase peak factor,pancreatic islet βcell function index,fasting insulin,vitamin D in the observation group were lower than the control group [(1.0 ± 0.2)mmol/L vs (1.2 ±0.3)mmol/L,(5.2 ±1.3)vs (8.4 ±1.6),(135.8 ±11.7)vs (194.3 ±19.2),(4.1 ± 0.9)IU /mL vs (10.8 ±0.6)IU /mL,(10.8 ±2.1)ng/L vs (27.4 ±3.8)ng/L,t =5.087,9.153,7.370,10.414, 18.371,all P <0.05].Vitamin D was significantly negatively correlated with fasting blood glucose,postprandial 2h blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,body mass index,total cholesterol,triglyceride,low density lipoprotein choles-terol,insulin resistance index(r =-0.537,-0.512,-0.469,-0.387,-0.325,-0.316,-0.372,-0.457,all P <0.05).Vitamin D were significantly positively correlated with high density lipoprotein cholesterol,insulin first secretion phase peak factor,pancreatic islet βcell function index,fasting insulin(r =0.351,0.418,0.674,0.316,all P <0.05).Conclusion Vitamin D deficiency in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes may be involved in glucose -lipid metabolism and insulin resistance,but also may be one of the reasons leading to decreasing of early secretory function of pancreatic βcells.

Scalp acupuncture is a method of treating whole-body diseases. The author takes the easy positioning of scalp acupuncture as starting point, covers the positioning of scalp acupuncture and needle insertion points, acupuncture manipulation and the selection of acupoints, so as to introduce the design of teaching the international standardized scalp acupuncture with texts and illustrations. The positions of scalp acupuncture are 4 lines in frontal area, 5 lines in parietal area, 2 lines in temporal area and 3 lines in occipital area. The needle insertion angle is 30° to the skin. Acupoints can be selected crossly and correspondingly in clinic.

Objective: To build the relationship model of job burnout, insecurity psychology, and insecurity behavior for miners. Methods: The valid random samples included 1229 miners from national and private coal mines, who were investigated with the revised Job-Burnout Inventory for Miners, Insecurity Psychology Inventory, and Insecurity Behavior Inventory. The data was analyzed through SPSS15.0 and AMOS7.0. Results: The three dimensions of job burnout had significant direct effect on insecurity behavior [β =0.008, 0.047, 0.019) .The three dimensions of job burnout had significant direct effect on psychological paralysis (β =0.031, 0.203, 0.374) and helplessness on security (β =0.206, 0.374, 0.472) . Emotional exhaustion and disengagement from work had significant effect on temporary psychology (β =0. 192, 0.411) and antagonistic psychology (β =0.079, 0.596) . Four dimensions of insecurity psychology had significant effect on insecurity behavior (β = 0.092, 0.023, 0.093, 0.097) and it was a mediator in the model. Conclusion: Miners'job burnout have significant direct effects on insecurity behavior, but also have indirect effects through the insecurity psychology mediator.

Objective To investigate the imaging features of solitary plasmacytoma of bone(SPB),to improve the ability of imaging diagnosis of SPB.Methods Retrospective analysis by surgery or biopsy pathology confirmed 16 cases of patients with SPB clinical and imaging data.Results All lesions were single.X-ray and CT scan showed swelling bone destruction,boundary more clearly,in all cases no periosteal reaction.Compared with the muscle signal,T1-weighted images showed equal or slightly lower signal,T2-weighted images showed high signal.All patients had no significant peritumoral edema in the bone marrow,but were seen varying degrees of soft tissue invasion.Enhanced MR scan,most cases showed significantly enhanced uniformity.Conclusions SPB presents osteolytic destruction,expansive growth and soft tissue mass without bone reaction and peritumoral edema.X-ray,CT and MR together might improve the diagnostic accuracy of SPB.
