The expression and function of NIS are the prerequisites of radioactive iodine ( RAI ) treatment for DTC, which in turn determine the iodine uptake and outcome in DTC patients. Studies for the factors that might influence the function of NIS for the development of redifferentiation therapy should be conducted in conjunction with the individualized course of treatment in DTC patients having poor iodine up?take in their thyroid tumors. This review summarizes the factors that influence the function and expression of NIS in these patients.

Approxmately 97% of all transcriptional output of the human being is noncoding RNA(ncRNA),which has been found to play roles in a great variety of processes,and is becoming more andmore attractive.This review is a general intruduction to the concept,classification and functions ofncRNA.

Objective To discuss the influence of hydrotherapy on jaundice of newborn. Methods We divided 400 newborn into the hydrotherapy group and the control group with 200 cases in each group randomly. The newborn in the hydrotherapy group received hydrotherapy from 24 hours to 30 days after born,one time per day and 15 minutes per time.The control group was given pure shower, the time of first defecation ,the time of meconinm turning yellow, jaundice index and incidence of hyperbilirubinemia were compared at the 1st,5th,10th and 30th days after born. Results The time of first defecation and the time of meconium turning yellow were advancer in the observation group than those in the control group(P<0.01 ).The jaundice index at the 5th,10th andf 30th days after born and the incidence of hyperbilirubinemia also decreased in the observation group compared with those of the control group (P<0.01 ). Conclusion Hydrotherapy could decrease the jaundice of newborn and prevent the incidence of kernicterus.

Phthalate esters have been used as the plasticizers for about 80 years. As a kind of environmental hormone and universal pollutants, they are found widely in air dust, industrial waste water, river, soil and solid waste, moreover, they have been detected in food, drinking water and body fluid. In this paper, the new progresses of the effects of phthalate esters on the rodents and human, including reproductive toxicity and liver toxicity, were summarized and the short-term, quick and accumulative actions of phthalates mono-esters, metabolite of phthalate esters, on the rodents and human body were also reviewed.

Objective To explore the prognostic factors of nosocomial infection in severe hepatitis and liver cirrhosis,and to assess its prevention and treatment.Methods A prospective study of nosocomial infection of severe hepatitis and liver cirrhosis was carried out in our hospital from Apr.1996 to Dec.2000.The prognostic factors of nosocomial infection in severe liver diseases was analyzed by logistic regression.Results The mortality of nosocomial infection in severe liver was 37 36%(34/91).Multiple regression analysis showed that prognosis was in order variables related to follow factors:Serum bilirubin,prothrombin time,complement C3,serum cholesterol,serum sodium,white blood cells count,polymorphonuclear cell rate,the kinds of nosocomial infection,severe complications and improper medical manipulations.The prognostic factors high correlated with nosocomial infection via analysis by logistic analysis were as follows:low serum complement C3 and low cholesterol.Conclusions The nosocomial infection were important factors that cause highly mortality in severe liver diseases.The prognositic factors high related with nosocomial infection of severe liver diseases were:low serum complement C3 and cholesterol level.

AIM To investigate antitumor effects of curcumin (Cur) combining with adriamycin(ADM) on human tumor cell lines in vitro . METHODS The antitumor effects of the drugs on tumor cell lines in vitro were determined with MTT method. The Jin's formula was used to analyse the effect of drug combination. RESULTS In simultaneous adiministration Cur 2 04 ?mol?L -1 ～16 29 ?mol?L -1 combining with ADM 0 70 ?mol?L -1 ～5 52 ?mol?L -1 produced a simple addition or potentiation effect. In sequential adiministration the first adiministration of ADM followed by Cur resulted in an antagonistic effect, while the change of the order of adiministration produced an simple addition effect. CONCLUSION Simultaneous adiministration of Cur and ADM produces synergistic effect but sequential adimistration of the drugs only produce a unidirectional synergistic effect.

[Objective]To introduce the technique important points of intramedullary fixation with bone cement add the plate fixation for treated the unstable proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients,and proceed the analysis to the principle of bone cement fix.[Method]Ten cases of the unstable proximal humeral fractures were treated with open reduction,intramedullary fixation with bone cement first,then fix with the plate.Three days after operation functional trainings were began.The radiographic outcome and shoulder joint functions were observed postoperatively at 1 month,3 months,6 months and 12 months.[Result]The results were excellent in 5 cases,good in 4 cases,fair in 1 case according to the JOA function standard.The rate of excellent and good clinical results was 90%.Radiography showed that the fractures dissects to reply in 7 patients,fractures still had 3～5 mm moving in 3 cases.All plates were fixed dependable,with no loosening.All fractures had bone fusion.[Conclusion]The intramedullary fixation with bone cement add fixation with plate for the unstable proximal humeral fractures in the elderly can proceed the functional training of the earlier period,acquire the satisfactory function instauration.

Protein protein binding is the basis of virus and host cell interactions. With the application of technology of studying of protein interactions, more knowledge of replication and pathogenesis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) could be acquired. Non structure protein NS5A is one of the important regulatory factors in virus replication , transcription and signal transduction, but there are controversy in effect on HCV pathogenesis and resistance to interferon ?(IFN?). In order to describe the relationship between NS5A and host proteins, we use yeast two hybrid system 3 to screen the gene encoding proteins that could interact with NS5A from human hepatocyte library. Thirty five clones were obtained including apo A1, apo A2, apo B100, haplotype mitochondrion complete genome, phosphatidic acid phosphatase type 2B, albumin similar to tumor endothelial marker 5 precursor, matrix metalloproteinase 14, and three of the Homo sapiens hypothetical proteins. The study paved a way for further studies on the pathogenesis of HCV NS5A
