Objective To investigate the ultrasonic features and pathological basis of follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTC). Methods Ultrasonic presentation of 30 patients with FVPTC conifrmed by surgery and pathology from the Seventh People′s Hospital of Shaoxing during March 2002 and December 2012 were analyzed retrospectively and compared with pathological results. Results Ultrasonic presentation of 30 FVPTC cases could be classiifed into three types:(1) Six cases (20%, 6/30) of typeⅠ, with typical sonographic features of papillary thyroid carcinoma:nodules with irregular shape, unclear boundary, and very low echo inside, microcalciifcation could be seen. (2) Fourteen cases (47%,14/30) of typeⅡ, presented as clearer iso-echoic or hypo-echoic nodules, with irregular shape, angled and lobular edge, rare microcalciifcation. (3) Ten cases (33%, 10/30) of typeⅢ, presented as adenoma-like features, nodule with clear boundary and regular edge, uniform medium echo inside. The microscopic structure characteristics could be divided into three categories:6 cases of typeⅠ, lesions were featured with no obvious capsule, irregular shape and inifltrative growth;14 cases of type Ⅱ, lesions with irregular shape, which invading the capsule with partial protrusion and peripheral small satellite lesions;10 cases of typeⅢ, lesions with more complete envelope, more regular shape with no signiifcant or lower level and smaller extent invasion of the capsule. Differences in morphology, boundary, aspect ratio, internal echo, presentation of microcalciifcations between the encapsulated type (typeⅡ,Ⅲ) and non-encapsulated type (typeⅠ) FVPTC were statistically signiifcant (Fisher′s exact test, all P<0.05). While the difference in lymph nodes involvement between them was not statistically signiifcant (Fisher′s exact test, both P>0.05). Conclusion Ultrasonic presentation of FVPTC show characteristics of both follicular tumor and papillary carcinoma, and the ultrasonic presentations are closely related to the pathological subtypes.

Objective To investigate the effect of music therapy on anxiety and depression in patients with spinal cord injury. Methods Forty anxious and depressive patients with spinal cord injury were selected as the control group from December 2012 to October 2013, and another 40 anxious and depressive patients with spinal cord injury as the observation group from November 2013 to September 2014. Patients in the observation group were given the following metheds after admiting for 3 days besides psychological nursing; music therapy once a day, 1 hours one time for 4 weeks. The two groups were compared in terms of the scores by Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) scores and Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) before and after treatment. Results There were insignificant differences in HAMA scores and HAMD scores between the two groups before music therapy (P>0.05), but the scores by HAMA and HAMD in the observation group were both significantly lower than those in the control group. Conclusion Music therapy can alleviate anxiety and depression of patients with spinal cord injury, and promote the functional recovery.

Commonly, the interbacterial transfer of circular plasmids is initiated by nicking at an internal sequence, oriT, followed by transferring one strand as single-stranded DNA through a type Ⅳ secretion channel on cell membrane. In contrast, Streptomyces conjugative linear plasmids, containing a free 3'-end but a protein-capped 5'-end, can potentially undergo cell-to-cell transfer by transfer of non-nicked DNA. It was reported that circular derivatives of the Streptomyces lividans linear plasmid SLP2, as well as the parental linear plasmid itself can transfer efficiently. And the genetic requirements for such transfer was described. Efficient transfer of plasmid requires six co-transcribed SLP2 genes, encoding a Tra-like DNA translocase, cell wall hydrolase, two cell membrane proteins that interact with an ATP binding protein, and a protein of unknown function. Reduced transfer efficiency of plasmid from SalⅠ R-/M-to Sal Ⅰ R/M hosts argues that transfer of both the circular and linear forms of the plasmid involves double-stranded DNA. These results suggest that conjugal transfer occurs by a similar mechanism for SLP2-derived linear and circular plasmids, and cellular membrane/wall functions in the transfer process.

To establish single- and double-transfected transgenic cells stably expressing hMATE1, hMATE1 cDNA was cloned by RT-PCR from human cryopreserved kidney tissue, and subcloned into pcDNA3.1(+) plasmid by virtue of both HindIII and Kpn I restriction enzyme sites. Subsequently, the recombined pcDNA3.1(+)- hMATE1 plasmid was transfected into MDCK, MDCK-hOCT1 or MDCK-hOCT2 cells using Lipofectamine 2000 Reagent. After a 14-day-cultivation with hygromycin B at the concentration of 400 µg · mL(-1), all clones were screened with DAPI and MPP+ as substrates to identify the best candidate. The mRNA content of hMATE1, the cellular accumulation of metformin with or without cimetidine as inhibitor, or transportation of cimetidine was further valuated. The results showed that all of the three cell models over expressed hMATE1 mRNA. The cellular accumulation of metformin in MDCK-hMATE1 was 17.6 folds of the control cell, which was significantly inhibited by 100 µmol · L(-1) cimetidine. The transcellular transport parameter net efflux ratios of cimetidine across MDCK-hOCT1/hMATE1 and MDCK-hOCT2/hMATE1 monolayer were 17.5 and 3.65, respectively. In conclusion, cell models with good hMATE1 function have been established successfully, which can be applied to study the drug transport or drug-drug interaction involving hMATE1 alone or together with hOCT1/2 in vitro.
