Objective To investigate the effects of repeated intrathecally kinesin superfamily protein 17 (KIF17) antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) on the expression of mLin10 and NR2B in spinal cord in a mouse model of bone cancer pain.Methods Fifty-six male C3H/HeJ mice,aged 4 ～ 6 weeks,weighting 20 ～ 25 g,were randomly divided into two groups:sham operation group (group S,n=20) and bone cancer pain group (group T,n=36).20μl α-minimal essence medium (α-MEM) which containing 2× 105 NCTC2472 osteosarcoma cells was injected into the intramedullary space of the right femur in group T.In group S,no cancer cell was instead.The number of spontaneous flinches (NSF) and the paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) were measured at the day before (base) and the days 4,7,10 and 14 after inoculation.According to the corresponding time points,twenty-four mice were sacrificed for determination the expression of KIF17,mLin10 and NR2B using Western blot.Then,the mice of group T were randomly divided into three groups (n=8,T1,T2,T3,group).In group S and group T1,Saline 5 μl was injected intrathecally.KIF17 sense ODN and antisense ODN,5 μg/5μl were respectively injected in group T2 and T3 for 6 consecutive days.Pain behaviors were assessed at the days 2-6 after the first injection.And determinated the KIF17,mLin10 and NR2B expression,again.Results Compared with group S,the NSF was increased and the PWMT was decreased at the days 7,10 and 14 after inoculation in group T (P＜0.05).Compared with the base ((0.65±0.15),(1.06±0.06),(1.01±0.14)),the expression of KIF17,mLin10 and NR2B (14d:(1.13 ±0.06),(2.17 ± 0.37),(1.85 ± 0.32)) were increased at the days 7,10 and 14 after inoculation in group T(P＜0.05).During the course of the injection,compared with group T1 and T2,the NSF was decreased and the PWMT was increased significantly in the group T3(P＜0.05),the expression of KIF17,mLin10 and NR2B((0.88±0.08),(0.96±0.11),(1.03±0.08)) were reduced in group T3 (P＜0.05).Conclusion Intrathecal KIF 17 antisense ODN in the mice of bone cancer pain improves the pain behaviors,and inhibits the up-regulated of KIF17,mLin10 and NR2B during the course of the injection.

Objective To study how to design the treatment plan to reduce the influence of respiratory movement and the dose of heart and lung as few as possible,to improve the dosage distribution in the target area after radical mastectomy of breast cancer.Methods Twelve patients with breast cancer after radical mastectomy were selected.A dose of 50 Gy with 2 Gy every day and 5 times per week was prescribed.Based on the treatment planning system (TPS),4-field intensity modulated radiotherapy (4FIMRT) and hybrid intensity modulated treatment planning 2-field conformal radiotherapy (2FCRT) + 4FIMRT were designed respectively.The two plans were compared from the aspects of target conformity index (CI),the homogeneity index (HI) and exposure dose volume delivered to organ at risk.Results According to the hybrid plan of 2FCRT + 4FIMRT,HI was 1.08±0.01,which was superior to that from 4FIMRT (1.11±0.01,t =9.587,P ＜ 0.05).While CI was 0.74±0.08,based on the plan of 2FCRT+4FIMRT,which was slightly lower than that from 4FIMRT (0.80±0.03,t =2.497,P ＜ 0.05).Considering the dose volumes on ipsilateral lung in two plans,the values of V5,V10,Dmean of 2FCRT+4FIMRT plan were significantly less than those of 4FIMRT plan.V5,V10,Dmean from the former plan were 13 ％,23 ％,7 ％ less than those from the latter plan (t =6.002,P ＜ 0.05;t =6.826,P ＜ 0.05;t =3.645,P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile,Dmean of contralateral lung,Dmean of heart,Dmean and V5 of contralateral breast from the 2FCRT +4FIMRT plan were all lower than those of 4FIMRT plan.Those differences between two plans were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Differences of V20 and V30 of ipsilateral lung,and V30 of heart between two plans did not make sense by the statistics analysis (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Hybrid radiotherapy theoretically reduces the influence of respiratory movement,improves the uniformity of target dose and lowers the risk of complications of radiation therapy on breast cancer.

Pathology is a subject that studies the etiology,pathogenesis,pathological changes,progression and outcome of diseases.Pathology links the basic research and clinical practice and is an important part of translational medicine.In order to cultivate qualified pathological graduates with solid pathological theories and the abilities of proposing and addressing scientific hypotheses from pathological morphology changes,we employ modularized special training to divide the pathology training courses into morphology learning module,article searching and reading module,project design module,experiment operation module and scientific presentation module.The training contents among these modules are relatively independent but closely connected,and compose a strategy that aims to improve the scientific innovation ability of pathological graduates.

Objective: To assess the status of handgrip strength of elderly population from longevity areas in China, and to analyze the correlative factors of handgrip strength of elderly people. Methods: Data from Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) in 2012 was used, from which1 967 participants aged ≥60 years old with valid data of grip strength value from 8 Chinese longevity areas were included. Information on demographics characteristic, life style and health status was collected using questionnaires. The handgrip strength of both left and right hands were measured by grip dynamometer. The different characteristics of group of participants with different grip strength were compared and then analyzed by adopting the Cumulative odds Logistic regression model to identify main factors associated with hand grip strength. Results: The P₅₀ (P₂₅-P₅₀) of hand grip strength of elderly people from the eight longevity areas was 20 (11-28) kg; The hand grip strength of males was 26 (18-34) kg, which was higher than that of females(14 (9-20) kg) (P<0.001). Cumulative odds Logistic regression model showed that the hand grip strength of females was lower than males, whose β value (95%CI) was-1.22 (-1.43--1.00). The elderly who was at a higher age, smoking, drinking or with anemia, had a comparatively lower handgrip strength, whose β (95%CI) value were separately-0.08(-0.09~-0.07),-0.29(-0.56~-0.02),-0.54(-0.80~-0.28), and-0.41(-0.62~-0.20). And the elderly who had a higher boby mass index, drinking tea and outdoor activities, had a comparatively higher handgrip strength, whose β(95%CI) value were separately 0.28 (0.15-0.40), 0.25(0.03-0.47) and 0.51(0.30-0.71). Conclusion Age and gender were the main correlative factors, lifestyles and physical conditions might also be correlative factors of hand grip strength of the elderly from longevity areas in China.

Cadmium is one of the heavy metals with severe reproductive toxicity,whose half-life lasts 20 to 40 years.Cadmium could induce dysfunction of testis and epididymis for its significant accumulation in human testis,and the amount,motility parameters and morphology of sperm change abnormally.The adverse change could also extend to male offspring and cause the impairment of their reproductive system.There has been no clear mecha-nism of how cadmium induces dysfunction of male reproductive system,and treatment for the adverse influence on male reproductive system by cadmium has not yet been found.Therefore,this problem has been discussed in repro-ductive and environmental field for a long time.A number of previous investigations showed that cadmium could damage male fertility by followed pathways,including interfering with hormone secretion,inducing oxidative stress,activating inflammation and apoptosis,and causing energy metabolism disorder,etc.In order to enlighten new ideas for therapeutic targets of male reproductive function damage induced by cadmium,we systematically reviewed and summarized the findings of previous publications in this paper.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression levels of thyroid transcription factor-1(TTF-1)and Galectin-3 in differentiated thyroid carcinoma(DTC)tissues and clinical manifestations and prognosis of patients.Methods A total of 76 DTC patients admitted to the hospital from January 1,2017 to May 30,2020 were selected as the study objects.Cancer tissue specimens obtained during surgery were in-cluded in the DTC group(n=76),and corresponding paracancer tissue specimens were included in the para-cancer group(n=76).The expressions of TTF-1 and Galectin-3 in DTC group and paracancer group were de-tected by immunohistochemistry,and the relationship between the expression levels of TTF-1 and Galectin-3 and the clinicopathological characteristics of DTC patients was analyzed.Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to investigate the prognostic factors of DTC patients.Results The positive expression rates of TTF-1 and Galectin-3 in DTC group were higher than those in paracancer group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The TTF-1 positive expression rate and Galectin-3 positive expression rate in DTC pa-tients with TNM stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ,low differentiation,tissue type of papillary thyroid carcinoma and lymph node metastasis were higher than those in DTC patients with TNM stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ,medium/high differentiation,tis-sue type of thyroid follicular carcinoma and no lymph node metastasis.The difference was statistically signifi-cant(P＜0.05).The 3-year overall survival rate of TTF-1 negative and Galectin-3 negative DTC patients was higher than that of TTF-1 positive and Galectin-3 positive DTC patients,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that lymph node metastasis,positive TTF-1 and positive Galectin-3 were prognostic factors in DTC patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion TTF-1 and Galectin-3 are related to TNM stage,differentiation degree,tissue type,lymph node metastasis and 3-year sur-vival rate of DTC patients,and have important reference value for the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of DTC patients.

Objective: To explore the association between biomarkers and activities of daily living (ADL) in the elderly over 65 years old from longevity areas in China. Methods: A total of 2 439 people from 8 longevity areas were included in our baseline survey in 2012. Using questionnaires, body measurements, and blood biochemical examinations, information on demographics characteristic, life style, ADL, blood pressure and biomarkers were collected. Based on these six items of ADL (bathing, dressing, indoor activities, toileting, eating, bowel and bladder control), we constructed a dichotomous indicator for ADL. A respondent was defined as ADL disabled if any difficulty in one or more of the above six activities was reported. Information were collected in the follow-up in 2014 using the same questionnaires and examinations. We excluded information on the elderly who lacked ADL or biomarkers test results or with ADL disability at baseline study. Finally 938 elderly people over 65 years old were included in this analysis. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influence factors of ADL disability. Results: During the 2-year follow-up, 100 (10.7%) participants developed into ADL disability, with a rate at 10.7%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that each year increase in age or each 1 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) would cause the risk of ADL disability to increase 9% or 1%, whose OR (95%CI) were separately 1.09 (1.06-1.12), 1.01 (1.00-1.02). Han nationality or cognitive impairment increased the risk of ADL disability, whose OR (95%CI) values were separately 4.90 (1.13-21.24), 2.47 (1.44-4.25), while increased lymphocyte count (>1.60×10⁹/L), being married, or participating in recreational activities decreased the risk of ADL disability, whose OR (95%CI) values were separately 0.51 (0.31-0.82), 0.52 (0.28-0.96), 0.43 (0.23-0.80). Conclusion In the elderly elevated lymphocyte count was associated with lower risk of ADL disability. In addition, incresed age, increased SBP, unmarried, Han nationality or cognitive impairment were associated with the increasing risk of ADL disability in older people, while participating in recreational activities would reduce the risk.
