Objective To develop an intelligent cabinet with constant temperature and adjustable height,which is safer,more scientific and comfortable for heat preservation after surgical operation.Methods According to the demands of microscopic surgery we analyzed the disadvantages of existing equipment in order to seek new materials to solve the current problems.Results Using nanometer electric heating film to control temperature at 30~35 ℃ and adjust temperature in this range.Moreover debugging angle of stainless steel adjustable upholder at 0~45°.Conclusions Nanometer electric heating film is a kind of high safety,reliability and strong stability heating material and can be used for the microscopic surgery insulation.Adjustable lifting upholder makes limbs more comfortable with freely height.It shows that setting temperature at 30~31℃,angel value at 20~25°would be relatively suitable after our experiment.

Background and objectiveLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and metastasis is the major cause of death in lung cancer patients. MiR-373 is closely associated with invasion and metastasis in other tumor cells. hTis study explored the expression of miR-373-3p in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its effect on the invasive and metastatic capabilities of lung adenocarcinoma cells, as well as their mechanisms of action.MethodshTe expression of miR-373-3p in NSCLC tissues and lung adenocarcinoma cell lines was detected by quantitative reverse transcrip-tion polymerase chain reaction. hTe roles of miR-373-3p in regulating lung adenocarcinoma cell invasion and metastatic prop-erties were analyzed with miR-373-3p mimic/inhibitor-transfected cells via Transwell chamber assay. Matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9 and MMP-14 protein levels were detected by Western blot in lung cancer cells atfer transfection.Results MiR-373-3p was upregulated in 51 NSCLC tissues and 5 NSCLC cell lines. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies showed that overexpression of miR-373-3p promoted H1299 cell migration and invasion, which resulted in upregulation of MMP-9 and MMP-14. By contrast, miR-373-3p knockdown inhibited these processes in A549 cells and downregulated the expression of MMP-9 and MMP-14.ConclusionOur results demonstrated that miR-373-3p participated in the invasion and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma cells, partly by upregulation of MMP-9 and MMP-14.
