Objective To inveatigate the expression and clinical significance of microRNA‐204(miR‐204) in human renal clear cell carcinoma(RCCC) .Methods 65 cases of resected RCCC tissue and corresponding normal tumor‐adjacent tissue were col‐lected and detected the expression level of miR‐204 by using qRT‐PCR .The correlation between the miR‐204 expression level and clilicalpathological features was statistically analyzed .The artificial miR‐204 mimics were adopted to stranfect into Caki‐1 cells ,then the Western blot was used to detect the expression of Bcl‐2 a as the downstream potential targets of miR‐204 and SIRT1 mRNA and protein .Results The expression level of miR‐204 in the RCCC tissue was significantly lowere than that in the normal tumor‐adjacent tissues (P<0 .05);the low expression of miR‐204 was significantly associated with the tumor size (>3 cm ,P<0 .05) , lymph node metastasis(P<0 .05) and advanced TNM stage(Ⅲ + Ⅳ ,P<0 .05) .Both the mRNA and protin expression in RCCC Caki‐1 cells were down‐regulated after transfection .Conclusion The expression of miR‐204 is down-regulated in the RCCC tissue and is related to the malignant clinicopathological features ,and miR‐204 may suppress the RCCC genesis and development through down‐regulating the expression of Bcl‐2 and SIRT1 .

Objective To explore effect of preoperative neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on the prognosis of patients with prostate cancer.Methods A total of 51 cases died included in our hospital as the died group, also included 124 patients survival patients served as survival group.Preoperative total prostate specific antigen (tPSA), free prostate specific antigen (fPSA), albumin, white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, Gleason score, and NLR were collected.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn.The function of the index on prognosis was evaluated.Results The average age was 74.0 (9) years in the died group, and 73.6 (11.0) years in the survival group.Gleason score was 8 ~ 10.The patients were followed up for 10 ~ 36 months with a median follow-up time of 23 months.No significant differences in albumin and Gleason score were found between death and survival groups (P >0.05).However, the other major indexes had significant differences between two groups (P < 0.01).NLR area under curve (AUC) was 0.835.The NLR boundary value was 2.84, which was higher than the critical value of patients with poor prognosis.Conclusions NLR can predict the prognosis of patients with malignant prostate cancer as auxiliary index.Patients with NLR > 2.83 had poor prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of resurfacing facial atrophic acne scars with 2790 nm YSGG fractional laser.Methods 38 patients with facial atrophic acne scars were treated with the 2790 nm YSGG fractional laser.All patients were randomly divided into two groups:group A using the combination with ablative and non-ablative mode of treatment; group B only using the non-ablative mode throughout the entire face,four treatment sessions for each patient,6 weeks interval.Comparative photographs were taken by using VISIA.Specific complexion analysis was used to identify and quantify depressed scars and texture,and patient satisfaction was graded with a 4-point scale.Results All of facial atrophic acne scars obtained different degree of improvement were treated by 4 times.In groups A and B,cure rate achieved 56.0 % and 30.8 %,respectively.All the 38 patients had a chieved efficacy (81.6 %),and they were satisfied with the results (84.2 %).No severe side effect was observed.Conclusions 2790 nm YSGG laser is easy to manipulate and is more exactly than other lasers.It is especially effective in enhancing the clinical outcomes of scar revision with less complications and pigmentation,and thereby 2790 nm YSGG fractional laser can provide the patients with superficial scar in face as an additional therapeutic option.

Objective To study the effects of anti-keratin autoantibody (AK auto Ab) on apoptosis of human keratinocytes. Methods Light and electron microscopy were used to observe morphological changes, flow cytometry (FCM) to analyze cell cycle, and electrophoresis to analyze DNA profiles of cultured keratinocytes. Results Typical morphological changes with apoptotic characteristics such as karyopyknosis, chromatin agglutination and apoptosis bodies were found. The subdiploid peaks due to apoptosis were also found in cell cycle analyses. DNA electrophoresis of keratinocytes showed characteristic ladder. Conclusions AK auto Ab could induce apoptosis in cultured human keratinocytes.
