Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2014;(14):2125-2127
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of application of mesh plug tension-free repair of ingui-nal hernia in grass-roots hospital .Methods A total of 32 patients with inguinal hernia treated by benison-free ingui-nal herniorrhaphy with mesh plug and 28 patients treated with the traditional herniorrhaphy were retrospectively ana-lysed.Results The mean operation time and the postoperative hospital stay of group A were 56.94min and 5.25d, and those of group B were 69.61min and 5.96d,the mean operation time and the postoperative hospital stay of group A were significantly shorter than those of group B (t=-2.891、-3.284,all P<0.05).Patients needed postoperative analgesic therapy (10 cases) and patients suffered from urine retation ( 2 cases ) of group A were less than group B(χ2 =8.014,5.357,all P<0.05).There were 3 cases with postoperative scrotum hematoma in each group and they had no statistical difference for that(P>0.05).All cases received follow-up for 20-40 months,there were no recur-rence in group A during the follow-up period,but 2 cases recurrence in group B .Conclusion Mesh plug tension-free repair of inguinal hernia has the advantages of shorter operation time ,more rapid recovery ,less complications and low-er recurrence rate ,so it is suitable for popularization and application in grass-roots hospital .

[Summary] Hypercalcemia in pregnancy is a rare condition which brings considerable risks to mother and fetus. The most common cause is primary hyperparathyroidism(PHPT). The untypical symptoms and biochemical tests results add obstacles in the diagnosis of PHPT during pregnancy. The management is difficult, due to restrictions in choices of treatments and lack of clinical guidelines. Severity evaluation which takes consideration of calcium homeostasis during pregnancy is crucial for appropriate management. Parathyroidectomy during the second trimester is recommended for those with high serum calcium levels.

Objective To investigate the effects of long non-coding RNA 00894(LINC00894)gene on prolifera-tion and metastasis of human gastric cancer cells,and to verify the regulatory relationship of LINC00894,miR-205-5p and ZEB1 in gastric cancer.Methods The expression level of LINC00894 in gastric cancer cell lines,normal gastric lines,clinical gastric cancer and normal gastric tissue samples were determined by RT-qPCR.Through fol-low-up,the relationship between the expression level of LINC00894 and the prognosis of gastric cancer patients was explored.LINC00894 knockdown cell lines and overexpression cell lines were constructed,and the knockdown and overexpression efficiency was detected by RT-qPCR.Cell proliferation and metastatic capacity were determined by CCK 8,clone formation and Transwell assays.Dual-luciferase reporter assays,RT-qPCR assays and Western blot assays were used to examine the targeted regulatory relationships of LINC00894,miR-205-5p and ZEB1.Results The expression of LINC00894 gene in gastric cancer tissues or cells was significantly higher than that in normal gas-tric tissues or cells,moreover,gastric cancer patients with high LINC00894 gene expression had a worse prognosis.The knockdown of LINC00894 inhibited the viability,clonogenesis,migration and invasion ability of gastric cancer cells,and conversely,the overexpression of LINC00894 obtained the opposite results.LINC00894 promoted ZEB1 expression by targeted downregulation of miR-205-5p expression.LINC00894 promoted the expression of ZEB1 by targeting miR-205-5p and down-regulating its expression.Conclusion LINC00894 serves as an oncogene in gastric cancer and may promote proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer cells via regulating miR-205-5p/ZEB1 axis.
