Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) play important roles in many biological processes.However,compared with other types of RNAs,limited research has been conducted on lncRNA,mostly concerning its relationship with tumor,and there are much fewer studies on its relationship with atherosclerosis.In this article,we summarized the latest research findings in this field,with an emphasis on the importance of IncRNA in atherosclerosis.The value of lncRNA in targeted therapy of atherosclerotic disorders is also discussed.

Objective To screen and identify proteins interacting with hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell differentiation-related gene HSPC016, and to explore the molecular mechanism involved in the regulation by HSPC016 on the aggregative behavior of dermal papilla cells. Methods By using yeast two-hybridization,HSPC016 gene was sub-cloned into pGBKT7 to construct the bait plasmid (named as pGBKT7-HSPC016) in yeast AH109. The cDNA yeast expression library of human dermal papillae cells in yeast Y187 was screened with the bait plasmid and the proteins interacting with HSPC016 were identified. Yeast two-hybridization retransformation experiment was conducted to exclude the false positive clones and verify the interactions, then,the positive clones were sequenced and analyzed by using bioinformatic methods. Results The bait plasmid pGBKT7-HSPC016 was constructed successfully and there was no self-activation in or toxicity against yeast AH 109. Four proteins,including forkhead family of transcription factors (FOXO 1 ), mitogen-activated protein kinase 11 (MAPK 11 ), phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PIK3R3) and liver X receptor were screened and identified. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that these proteins had close relationship with intracellular energy metabolism and translational regulation. Conclusions HSPC016 may regulate the aggregative behavior of DPCs by regulating the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and interacting with signaling molecules involved in intracellular energy metabolism and translational regulation.

OBJECTIVE:To establish an LC-MS method for determination of picamilon in human plasma. METHODS:Picamilon and repaglinide(as internal standard)were separated on Agilent C18 column,using methanol-water(85 ∶ 15) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.2 mL?min-1. Column temperature was set at 20 ℃. SIM was used for determination of picamilon in human plasma.Ion mass spectral(m/z) of 207.0→121.1 was selected for picamilon and 451.3→379.2 for repaglinide.RESULTS:The linear range was 50～10 000 ?g?L-1(r=0.999 1); the method recovery was within 99.14%～104.27%. The RSD of inter-day and intra-day validation were 2.12%～5.94% and 7.30%～8.44%,respectively. CONCLUSION:The method is sensitive and accurate for the determination of picamilon in human plasma and its pharmacokinetic study.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the risk factors of young adult stroke.MethodsTo analyze the risk factors of 203 young adult stroke. The risk factors included hypertension, lipidemia, diabetes, heart disease, TIA, family history, tobacco and/or alcohol use.ResultsHypertension was still the most frequent risk factor. Diabetes, heart disease and TIA were not much more important in young adult with stroke. Almost half of the young adult stroke had family history and hobbies of smoking and drinking.ConclusionsHypertension is an important risk factor in young adult stroke. Other risk factors such as low level of HDL, smoking, drinking and family histories still contribute to the causes of young adult stroke.

Objective To perform the epidemiological analysis of the developmental dysplasia hip(DDH) in Shigatse of Tibet in order to explore the correlation between the onset of DDH with some risk factors such as altitude and take targeted intervention measures to reduce the disability rate of DDH.Methods A total of 5900 children aged 0 to 14 year-old from different altitudes in Shigatse of Tibet were surveyed randomly from June 2013 to June 2014.SPSS 18.0 statistical software was used to analyze the correlation of the onset of DDH with residence altitude,production and living ways,binding method of the lower limbs,delivery situation and genetic factor.Results One hundred and ninety-one DDH cases were screened out,and the average incidence of DDH in Shigatse of Tibet was about 32.4‰,and unilateral was higher than bilateral,fight side(33 cases)∶left side(68 cases) =1.00∶ 2.06.The result of Pearson correlation analysis of the onset of DDH with residence altitude showed that there was significant correlation (r=0.820,P=0.046).The result of Spearman correlation analysis of the onset of DDH with production and living ways showed that there was significant correlation(r=0.530,P =0.048).The result of x2 test analysis of the onset of DDH with binding method of the double lower limbs and breech delivery showed that there was statistical significance (P=0.0017,0.0082).Conclusions The DDH incidence of children living in high altitude areas in Tibet has certain regional characteristics indicating that it has clear correlation with some environmental risk factors such as altitude,methods of the lower limbs binding,production and living ways and breech delivery,especially the bundled package of lower limbs is the main environmental risk factor of DDH.

Objective A retrospective analysis were conducted to identify the effect of bypassing the emergency department on 30-days outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction undergone primary percutaneous coronary intervention ( PPCI) . Methods From June 2014 to April 2015, 187 patients underwent PPCI in Kunming General Hospital were included. 13 patients were excluded owing to their incomplete follow-up data. The total 174 patients were divided into two groups: the control group (n =59) who did not bypass the emergency department, and the bypass group ( n = 115) who bypassed the emergency department and directly received PPCI. The data of all patients were collected and analyzed. Results There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics and PPCI related data (including percentage of thrombus aspiration catheter used, length or diameter of stents applied between two groups (all P ﹥ 0. 05) . The bypass group had shorter door-to-ballon ( D2B) than the control group [ (67. 7 ± 21. 5) min vs. (89. 4 ± 23. 6) min, P ﹤ 0. 001] . There were no significant differences in 30-days all-cause mortality, re-myocardial infacrtion and target ressel revascularization (TVR) between the two groups (P ﹥ 0. 05) . Total MACEs rate in the bypass group was lower than in the control group (10. 2% vs. 1. 7% , P = 0. 012) . Logistic regression analysis showed that age, diabetes, pain-to-door (PTD) time and CK peak value were the main influencing factors for 30-day MACEs rate of patients receiving PPCI ( P ﹤0. 05) . Conclusions Bypassing the emergency department can shorten D2B time and reduce 30-days MACEs post-PPCI, but reducing the total ischemic time will be more beneficial to patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Objective To investigate the biological markers and their clinical significance in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of inlfammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children.Methods The study had 22 cases of IBD including 6 cases of ulcerative colitis (UC) and 16 cases of Crohn’s Disease (CD). Twenty-four children without IBD were selected as controls. The serum perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (pNACA) was measured by indirect immune lfuorescence method. The serum anti-saccharomyces cerevisiae antibody (ASCA) IgG and IgA, anti-B mannose glycoside antibody (AMCA) IgG, anti-B glycoside sugar shell antibody (ACCA) IgA, Anti-bacterial lfagellin antibody (Anti-cBir1) IgG, and the fecal calprotectin (FC) were determined by Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The positive rate of serum pANCA was 100% in 6 cases of UC while it was negative in CD cases and control, and there was significant difference among three groups (P

Objective: This study aims to analyze the effects of catastrophic disease insurance (CDI), especially to evaluate the influences of CDI on the discrepancy of benefits between the patients covered by the Employee's Medical Insurance (EMI) and the Resident's Medical Insurance (RMI).Methods: The data used in the study are collected from the health insurance database of Zhuhai City in the years of 2012 and 2014.A descriptive analysis is made to depict the general situation of CDI in the city, and a logistic regression model is used to analyze the factors that affect the probability to get the benefits of CDI.Moreover, a triple difference model is built up to probe into the CDI's effects on the discrepancy of reimbursement ratio between patients covered by EMI and RMI.Results: The benefits of CDI favor the patients with old age, high medical expenditures and chronic diseases.When other factors are controlled, patients covered by EMI have lower probability to get CDI benefits than those covered by RMI.Within the patients with high medical expenditures who have gotten the CDI benefits, those covered by EMI enjoy higher reimbursement ratio than those covered by RMI, but CDI decreases the discrepancy by 3.2%.Conclusions: Since the CDI gives more favor to the vulnerable population and narrows the gap of the benefits between EMI and RMI, the policy improves the equity of health security.
