Objective To study the expression and function of miR-145 in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods PTC tissues and adjacent tissues were collected from 43 cases.Expression of miR-145 in PTC tissues and adjacent tissues was detected with RT-PCR.miR-145 analogue was used to transfect TPC-1cell to upregulate miR-145 expression.Brdu-ELISA method was used to detect the proliferation of TPC-1 cell.Flow cytometry instrument was used to detect the apoptosis and cell cycle of TPC-1 cell.Results RT-PCR test showed that relative expression of miR-145 in thyroid carcinoma tissue was 0.369±0.082,significantly lower than 1.029-±0.365 in tissue adjacent,and the difference was statistically significant (t=3.129,P=0.000).The expression of miR-145 in patients whose biggest tumor size ≥ 1 cm was lower than patients whose biggest tumor size ＜1 cm.Compared with patients with single tumor,the expression of miR-145 in patients with multiple tumor was lower,and the dif ferences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).miR-145 expression was enhanced by miR-145 analogue.Compared with negative control,the proliferative ability of thyroid cancer cell TPC-1 was suppressed significantly,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).In addition,up-regulation of miR-145 expression could block thyroid cancer TPC-1 in G2/M phase.The apoptosis rate of thyroid cancer cell TPC-1 increased significantly (P＜0.05).Conclusions miR-145 expression is decreased significantly in PTC tissue,and is associated with clinical pathological features.Up-regulation of miR-145 expression can inhibit thyroid cancer cell proliferation,block the cell cycle,and promote apoptosis,miR-145 may play an important role in occurrence and development of thyroid cancer.

BACKGROUND: As unspecific antagonist of opiate receptor, naloxone is widely used for multiple diseases which are related with abnormal release of endogenous opium. At present, researches suggest that large dosage of naloxone is used at early period can decrease death rate of patients with acute craniocerebral injury and promote neural functional recovery.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of naloxone on improving the nervous function of rats with acute craniocerebral injury and to analyze effectively.DESIGN: Randomized grouping design based on the experimental animal.SETTING: Beijing Neurosurgical Institute.MATERIALS: Totally 250 SD rats were divided randomly into 0.3, 1.0,3.0, 9.0 mg/kg naloxone group, positive control group and negative control group.METHODS: Craniocerebral injured model was established with Feenly free fall struck, and the medicine was given 30 minutes after injury. The rats of the first four experimental group were injected transpeniponeally with naloxone hydrochloride by 0.3 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, 3.0 mg/kg and 9.0 mg/kg respectively once a day; meanwhile, the control groups were given 2 mg citicoline sodium for injection and 0.5 mL normal saline per rat respectively. The longest time was 14 days.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: MNSS neural functional score was used every day. The brain edemas of 8 rats in each group were measured with wet-dry weight methods on the second and the fourth day after head trauma.RESULTS: Among 250 rats, 172 entered the final analysis. The nervous function of rats in naloxone groups was better than the two control groups (P ＜ 0.01), and that in 1, 3 and 9 mg/kg naloxone group were better than 0.3 mg/kg group (P ＜ 0.05), but there were no significant differences a mong the three naloxone groups (P ＞ 0.05). The brain edemas of rats in naloxone groups were lighter than that in the control groups (P ＜ 0.05), and that of 1, 3 and 9 mg/kg groups were lighter than 0.3 mg/kg (P ＜ 0.05), but there were no significant differences among these three groups (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Naloxone can decrease the brain edemas of rats with traumatic brain injury, promote the nervous function recovery, and the treatment effect changes with the dosage during some range.Therefore, the experiment illustrates that naloxone can decrease the brain edemas of experimental brain injury in SD rats and improve the nervous function, but the effect of naloxone is associated with the dosages in some range.

Objective To investigate the etiological characteristics of Streptococcus pyogenes that caused scarlet fever in different periods in Guangdong province.Methods 22 isolates from different periods were analyzed through emm typing,PCR detection for super antigen genes,antibiotic susceptibility test and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).Results All isolates were susceptible to cefotaxim,levofloxacin and penicillin.Streptococcus pyogenes isolated after the year 2000 were 100％ resistant to erythrocin and clindamycin,but the resistant rate for strains isolated before the year 2000 was 9.1％ (1/11).There were 3 emm types indentified from 22 isolates including emm12.0 (59.09％,13/22),emm6.0 (36.36％,8/22) and emm1.0 (4.55％,1/22),which were detected in the isolates from the year 1997 and 2011,from 1978 and 1986,and from 2008,respectively.The positive rates for speA,speB,speC,speF,speG,speH,smeZ,and ssa genes detected by PCR were 54.55％,100％,100％,100％,100％,54.55％,0％,and 86.36％ respectively.Among all strains,95.45％ of the isolates carried 6 superantigen genes simultaneously.Three clusters of 10 PFGE subtypes were identified in 22 isolates.Cluster Ⅰ consisted of all strains from 1997 and one strain from 2011.Cluster Ⅱ consisted of strains isolated from 1978 and 1986.Cluster Ⅲ consisted of nine strains from 2011 and one from 2008.Conclusion S.pyrogenes isolates in Guangdong province were susceptible to penicillin but resistant to erythrocin.emm 12.0 accounted for the majority of the three types and there was a high frequency of super antigen genes.

Objective To investigate the effect of the balloon Bionic midwifery on the delivery outcomes and to analyze the clinical value.Methods 1 683 parturients from June 2014 to May 2015 were selected.They were randomly divided into observation group (832 cases,applied balloon Bionic Midwifery) and control group 851 cases.We compared the labor,the postpartum hemorrhage,the outcomes of pregnancy and the rate of survival of neonates of the two groups.Results The first and second stage as well as the total stage of labors of the observation group were lower than the control group (P＜0.01);Also,the rate of cesarean delivery and the hemorrhage together with the asphyxia of neonates were lower than the control group (P＜0.01).However,the rate of vaginal delivery was higher than the control group (P ＜0.05).The differences between them had a great statistical significance.Conclusions The balloon bionic midwifery technology has an advantage in reducing the rate of cesarean delivery and the maternal pain of pregnant women as well as the maternal complications.It is an effective and safe midwifery technology.So it has a great value of spreading in clinical trials.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), and explore the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in patients with esophageal submucosal tumor. Methods Sixty-eight patients with esophageal submucosal tumor were selected, and the tumor was derived from the muscularis mucosa and submucosa according to the common endoscope and endoscopic ultrasonography detection. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was applied to remove submucosal tumor with diameter less than 1.0 cm, endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection (EPMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was applied to remove submucosal tumor with diameter 1.1 - 1.5 cm, and ESD was applied to remove submucosal tumor bigger than 1.5 cm. Samples were examined by pathology after treatment. Results Tumors in all the patients were completely removed, and the tumor diameter was 0.6-2.3 cm. Forty-one cases were treated with EMR, 9 cases were treated with EPMR and 18 cases were treated with ESD. Four patients had intra-operative bleeding that was stopped by electrocoagulation hemostasis. No perforation occurred in all cases. Postoperative pathology revealed 43 cases had leiomyoma, 23 cases had interstitialoma, and 2 cases had lipoma. Patients were reviewed by gastroscope 3 months after operation. The white scars formed in all patients, and there was no residue or recurrence. Conclusions Different origin layers and property of esophageal submucosal tumor can be diagnosed accurately by EUS, and endoscopic therapy (EMR, EPMR and ESD) is an effective treatment for submucosal tumor from muscularis mucosa and submucosa. Endoscopic therapy is safe and effective. It provides sufficient pathological information.

OBJECTIVEThe efficacies of the selective 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) antagonists--ramosetron (0.3 mg) and granisetron (3 mg) in treating acute chemotherapy-induced digestive system dysunction were compared.

METHODSA total of 111 patients were enrolled in a single-blind, randomised crossover study; with data from 98 were used to assess efficacy and data from 110 to assess the safety profile. Ramosetron or granisetron was given intraveneously 15 min befire chemotherpy.

RESULTSThe ability of ramosetron to prevent emesis, nausea and anorexia was similar to granisetron during the first 6 h following the administration of chemotherapy, ciplatin or doxorubicin. However, during the first 24 h after chemotherapy, significant differences between ramosetron and granisetron appeared: emetic episode (P = 0.068), nausea (P = 0.006), and anorexia (P = 0.048) remained lower in ramosetron-treated patients. The safety profile of ramosetron was similar to that of granisetron and adverse events in both groups were generally mild and transient.

CONCLUSIONRamosetron is more potent and longer-lasting than granisetron in preventing chemotherapy-induced digestive disturbances.

Objective To prepare simulated stool specimens for proficiency testing ( PT) by mix-ing lentils with Salmonella, Shigella and Escherichia coli strains and to establish an assessment scheme for the detection of Salmonella and Shigella in clinical samples. Methods Salmonella, Shigella and Escherich-ia coli strains were respectively spiked to lentils in Cary-Blair transport medium to create simulated stool specimens. Various ratios of Escherichia coli to Salmonella strains were spiked to lentils to prepare mixed simulated stool specimens. The accuracy and stability of prepared stool samples for PT were tested in-house. Results of sample detection were collected from participating laboratories for further external quality assess-ment. Results The Escherichia coli and Salmonella strains mixed at ratios of 100 ∶ 1 to 106 ∶ 1 could be ef-ficiently isolated from the media. Enrichment was needed in order to effectively isolate Salmonella strains from the media when the ratios of Escherichia coli to Salmonella strains were 104 ∶ 1 to 106 ∶ 1. Of the16 participating laboratories, 14 laboratories (87. 5%) received a grade of“satisfactory” and the other 2 labo-ratories (12. 5%) received a grade of “mainly satisfactory”. Conclusion The simulated stool specimens and the PT procedures designed in this study were suitable for proficiency testing program on the detection of Salmonella, Shigella and other similar microbes.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance pattern of non-typhoidal Salmonella isolated from diarrhea cases in Guangdong province,China.The multidrug-resistant strains were analyzed by pulsed field gel electrophoresis(PFGE) typing.Methods All the non-typhoidal Salmonella strains isolated between 2009 and 2011 were serotyped,then the antimicrobial resistance was detected by the disk diffusion method and molecular typed by PFGE.Results 91.76％ (256/279) S.typhimurium isolates were multiple resistant to 3 and more antimicrobials.Forty S.typhimurium isolates were multiple resistant to 9 and more antimicrobials and 3 out of which were multiple resistant to all the 12 antimicrobials in vitro.96.91％ (94/97) Salmonella I4,5,12:i:-isolates were multiple resistant to 3 and more antimicrobials.Nine Salmonella I4,5,12:i:- isolates were multiple resistant to 9 and more antimicrobials and I out of which was multiple resistant to all the 12 antimicrobials1 in vitro.47％ (47/100) S.enteritidis isolates were multiple resistant to 3 and more antimicrobials.Only 1 S.enteritidis isolates was multiple resistant to 9 and more antimicrobials.4.27％ (27/632) non-typhoidal Salmonella isolates was resistant to ciprofloxacin,including 17 S.typhimurium and 6 Salmonella 14,5,12:i:- isolates.Also,there were 3 1.96％ ( 202/632 ) non-typhoidal Salmonella isolates was intermediary to ciprofloxacin.The PFGE patterns of the predominant strains which were highly resistant and multidrug-resistant had different genotypes and demonstrated significant genetic diversity.Conclusion The situation about the multiple antimicrobial resistances of non-typhoidal Salmonella in Guangdong province has showed the prevalent problem.The PFGE types of the multiple drug-resistant strains prompted these strains were come from different clones.This requires that we continue to strengthen the resistance monitoring and control of the rational use of antibiotics.
