The major progress on the study of etiology of the Hirschsprung's disease is the genetic factots and the aherations of microenvironment in primarily embryogenic period.The genetic factors comprise of RETGDNF system.EDNRB.EDN3 system,and many other genes involving in the formulation of the tormer two svstems.such as SOX10,NRG-1, FoxD3,PHOX2B,HOXB5,ZFHXIB,all of which file essencial for the migration and differentiation of neural crest cells(NCC).The alterations of microenvironment in primarily embryogenic period include interstitial ceLls of cajal(ICC),cell adhesion molecules(CAMLl),Ca2+ and so on.Definitely,CAML1 plays as the basis of NCC's migration and differentiation,and the decline of the Ca2+dependent channel's expression brings about the anolnaloug contraction of smooth muscle.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous non-coding RNA molecules.They regulate negatively the expression of target genes at post-transcriptional stages by means of affecting the stability of target mRNA or interfering with the transcriptional process.Recently,there is evidence demonstrating that miRNAs play important roles in the gene expressions of thyrotoxic heart diseases.Elevated levels of thyroid hormones profoundly influence the cardiovascular system through the renin-angiotensin system (RAS).As a principal active component of RAS,angiotensin Ⅱ receptor 1 (AT1 R) interacts with miRNAs in promoting or extenuating the progress of thyrotoxic heart disease.In this article,the roles of AT1R-associated miRNAs,miR-21,miR-155,miR-208a/b,and miR-499 in thyrotoxic heart disease were reviewed.

AIM: To study the effect of calories restriction on endoplasmic reticulum(ER) chaperone protein 78-kD glucose regulated protein(GRP78) mRNA expression in the liver of high fat diet rats,in order to explore the mechanism of how calories restriction improves insulin resistance.METHODS: Wistar rats(n=24) were randomly divided into 3 groups: normal chow(NC) group,was fed free normal chow(18.94% of calories as fat) for 12 weeks;high fat group(HF) was fed high fat diet(50.55% of calories as fat) for 12 weeks;calories restriction group(CR) was fed high fat diet for 8 weeks at first,then given 50% of diet consumed by the same age NC group.Changes of body weight,height,and food intake were recorded.At the end of experiment,HOMAIR,the rate of visceral fat(including perirenal fat and epididymal fat) vs weight,plasma protein,blood lipid(including total cholesterol and triglyceride),hepatic GRP78 mRNA and hepatic histological changes(including light microscopic studies and electron microscopic studies) were detected.RESULTS:(1) Animals in HF group had an obviously elevation of fasting insulin(27.51?3.51) mU/L vs(15.46?2.25) mU/L,triglyceride(1.35?0.25) mmol/L vs(0.67?0.10) mmol/L,total cholesterol(2.59?0.34) mmol/L vs(1.41?0.28) mmol/L and insulin resistance index HOMAIR(5.85?0.23 vs 2.85?0.60) compared with NC group,and also had obviously lipid accumulations in the liver.(2) After calories restriction,all the abnormal elevated biochemical indicators were decreased to normal levels,the hepatic lipid accumulations were also improved.(3) The changes of liver ultrastructure in HF group showed rough endoplasmic reticulum enlargement,fragmentation,taking off grain,and with glycogen solution.The changes in CR group were nearly the same as those in NC group.(4) High fat diet induced the expression of GRP78 mRNA, calories restriction might reverse it.CONCLUSION: Reasonable food calories restriction is a good method to improve insulin resistance,partly due to improvement of endoplasmic reticulum stress in liver.

Drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia has complicated manifestations and pathogenesis, and therefore clinicians should know its etiology and pathogenesis for safe medication. In this paper, we made a discuss on the etiology and pathogenesis of drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia from both traditional Chinese and western medicine viewpoint hoping to provide references for clinical physicians.

The effects of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) on number and activity of vascular endothelial cells (VEC) from hone marrow stem cells (BMSC) of mice were investigated. 100 μ/ml AGEs markedly inhibited differentiation of BMSC into VEC with decreased vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 positive cells, hut 20 μg/ml AGEs had no effect.

Objective To explore the right timing of mechanical ventilation in patients with bronchial asthma in emergency room.Methods A total of 67 patients with bronchial asthma undergoing mechanical ventilation were admitted into our Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU) from January 2010 to December 2012.According to PaCO2 before intubation,they were divided into 3 groups of low levels of PaCO2 [PaCO2 ≤35 mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa)] (n =19),normal PaCO2 (35 mmHg ＜ PaCO2 ＜ 45 mmHg) (n =21) and high PaCO2 (PaCO2 ≥ 45 mmHg) (n =27).Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Results The in-hospital mortality of three groups were 5.3％ (1/19),9.5％ (2/21) and 14.8％ (4/27) and the difference was not statistically significant (x2 =1.16,P ＞ 0.05).However the average duration of mechanical ventilation of three groups were (5.6 ± 1.7),(8.3 ± 2.1) and (13.5 ±3.6) days and the difference was statistically significant (F =3.36,P =0.042).The average ICU treatment time was (7.4 ± 2.1),(11.5 ± 3.3) and (16.4 ± 3.5) days and the difference was statistically significant (F =3.23,P =0.047).PaCO2 levels before intubation was positively correlated with the duration of mechanical ventilation and the ICU treatment time (r2 =0.366,0.316,P =0.031,0.029).Conclusion The patients with bronchial asthma undergoing intubation in right time in emergency room will affect the duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU treatment time.

Objective To analysis the prognosis of esophageal carcinoma patients with anemia before radiotherapy. Methods 137 patients with esophageal carcinoma treated with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) in the Second Peopleˊs Hospital of Jiaozuo over the past five years were retrospectively analyzed. There were 40 patients with anemia and 97 cases without anemia before radiotherapy. The prognosis of patients with anemia and the relationship with other clinical factors were evaluated by survival analysis. Results The 3-year and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates in non-anemic group were 43.6 % and 35.7 %, respectively, and 21.0 % and 16.4 % in anemic group. The 3-year and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates in non-anemic group were 38.5 % and 25.3 %, respectively, and 13.1 % and 9.2 %in anemic group. The Kaplan-Meier method showed that both 3-year and 5-year OS and DFS rates in non-anemic group were significantly higher than those in anemic group (P< 0.05). Conclusion Anemia is the independent prognostic factor for patients with esophageal carcinoma in many clinical factors.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the relationship between microalbuminuria(MAU) and cardiac autonomic neuropathy in diabetes.MethodsThe urinary albumin excretion (UAE) was measured,and the cardiac autonomic function was detected using 24 hour ambulatory ECG spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) in 46 patients with diabetes and 31 normal control subjects.ResultsParameters of time and frequencydomain of HRV were reduced in patients with diabetes.The high frequency at night reflecting the cardiac vagus nerve function was significantly lower in diabetic patients than control group.In diabetic patients with MAU,the detected values of HRV were significantly decreased,combined vagosympathetic impairment occurred,and 24 hour rhythm from day to night in autonomic nervous activity disappeared.ConclusionMAU in diabetes is related with HRV.

Objective: To study the effect of catch up growth after semistarvation on insulin resistance in rats. Methods: Wistar rats (n=40) were randomly divided into 5 groups: normal chow group (NC given diet with 18.94% of calories as fat for 12 w); high fat group (HF, given diet with 50.55% of calories as fat for 12 w); food restriction group (FR, 50% of their normal spontaneous food for 4 w); refeeding normal chow group (RN, after 4 w semistarvation, given normal diet for another 8 w ); refeeding high fat diet group (RH, after 4 w semistavation, given high fat diet for 8 w). Changes of body weight, height, and food intake were recorded. At the end of experiment, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR), the rate of abdominal fat (including perirenal fat and epididymal fat) vs weight, plasm protein, blood lipid (including total cholesterol and triglyceride) were detected. Results: There were 82.5% rats getting catch-up growth in refeeding groups. Body weight of both refeeding groups could not catch that of NC group, but the rate of visceral fat vs weight was higher than that of NC group, and this rate of RH group was close to that of HF group. The changes of visceral fat vs body weight were consistent with that of TG levels. All nutritional status except high fat diet could not influence total cholesterol levels. RH and RN group’s HOMAIR were higher than those of NC group and HF group. All groups have similar fastingglucose levels. Conclusion: Catch-up growth can induce insulin resistance, but is not consistent with fat accumulation and hypertriglyceridemia in rats.

0 05).Conclusion The distribution frequency of bb type of VDR genotypes in Han populations of China was more prevalent,followed by Bb and bb types in turn.In the patients receiving long term glucocorticoid therapy,there is no significant difference in BMD between Bb and BB genotypes.The data suggest that the VDR genotypes may not be a means to identify patients at great risk of glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis,which await to be further confirmed with a large sample size.
