Objective To explore the effects and mechanism of S100A4 gene silence on invasion of human thyroid cancer cell. Methods After thyroid cancer cell ARO was transfected by S100A4 small interfering RNA (siRNA), mRNA and protein level of S100A4 and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) were determined by real time RT-PCR and Western blot respectively. The anchorage-independent growth was examined by colony formation assay in soft agar, and invasion ability was evaluated by boyden chamber model. Results The level of mRNA and protein of S100A4 was significantly inhibited in ARO cancer cells transfected by S100A4 siRNA.Transfection with S100A4 siRNA could inhibit anchorage-independent growth and invasion ability of thyroid cancer cell ARO in a dose-dependent manner. mRNA and protein expression of MMP-2 were down-regulated by S100A4 siRNA. Conclusion S100A4 siRNA can inhibit the invasion of thyroid cancer cell through down-regulation of MMP-2.

Objective We aimed to understand the awareness of knowledge related to tuberculosis(TB) prevention and treat ment among diabetes mellitus(DM) patients in Urumqi city,their attitudes towards TB patients,treatment behavior and routes of obtaining knowledge,which will provide scientific basis for further health education and promotion.Methods A questionnaire-based investigation was conducted among DM patients who visited out patient clinics or those who were hospitalized from July to December in 2015.Results 599 DM patients were investigated.the general awareness rate among them was 51.13％,and all awareness rate was 4.17％.In all 7-item core knowledge related to TB prevention and treatment,the awareness of TB symptoms,specialized TB clinics,free examination and free treatment policy were the lowest,which were 32.78％,40.40％,36.68％ and 47.65％.Multi variate analysis indicted that ethnic group and educational level were associated factors of awareness rate.6 t.77％ of patients have tendency to discriminate TB patients.81.83％ of patients were willing to learn more knowledge about TB treatment and prevention,and the main route they hoped to learn were social media,literature and specialized publicity materials.Conclusion Awareness of knowledge related to TB prevention and treatment is low in DM patients in Urumqi,particuiarly those of minority ethnic group and lower education.Future health education in those at-risk groups should be enhanced.

Objective To study the impact of TDGF-1 gene silience by small interfering RNA(siRNA)on the invasion and migration of human breast cancer cell. Methods 3 siRNA fragments were designed according to the characteristic of TDGF-1 gene sequence and the most appropriate siRNA was selected by fluorescence real-time quantitative RT-PCR method. After the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-468 was transfected by the selected TDGF-1 siRNA, mRNA and protein of TDGF-1 were determined by real time quantitative RT-PCR and western blot respectively. The migration and invasion ability of the cancer cell were evaluated by wound-healing assay and Boyden chamber model respectively. Results siRNA could down-regulate the level of mRNA and protein of TDGF-1 in a dose-and time-dependent manner. In vitro experiment showed that TDGF-1 siRNA transfection can effectively inhibit the clonal growth, invasion and migration of breast cancer cell in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions TDGF-1 gene may play an important role in the migration and invasion of human breast cancer cells. siRNA transfection can inhibit the invasion of human breast cancer cells.

Objective To observe the feasibility of using bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as seed cells for tissue-engineering in Otolaryngology. Method MSCs were isolated from bone marrow of human rib and purified by centrifuge and cultured in vitro. The proliferation and growth characteristics of MSCs were observed in primary and passage culture. Result Human bone marrow-derived MSCs showed active proliferation capacity in vitro in primary and passage cultures. Conclusion Human bone marrow-derived MSCs have relatively young biologic age and they can be used as the seed cells for tissue engineering.

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is a class of RNA molecules that longer than 200 nucleotides.lncRNA is lack of functional open reading frames and has no protein coding ability.Recently, accumulating evidences indicate that lncRNA plays active roles in tumor carcinogenesis and progression.The aberrant expression of lncRNA is significantly correlated with the growth,metastasis,and therapy-resistance of digestive system tumors.Thus,lncRNA may be served as new targets for the diagnosis,treatment,and progno-sis of patients with digestive system tumors.

Objective To investigate the value of muhi-detector CT (MDCT) low tension dynamic enhanced scanning on the preoperative assessment of advanced gastric cancer.Methods MDCT low tension dynamic enhanced scanning,tumor diagnosis and staging and prediction of surgery operation were performed on 43 cases of advanced gastric cancer.And the above results were compared with pathology results.Results The 36 cases were treated with resection,while 7 cases were treated by gastrointestinal anastomosis.The MDCT had 76.7 ％ (33/43) of accuracy for the preoperative T staging and 74.4 ％ (32/43) of accuracy for the preoperative N staging,respectively.The stomach wall thickness was closely related to serosal invasion (x2 =20.170 9,P ＜ 0.001).Conclusions The MDCT low tension dynamic enhanced scanning can improve the comprehensiveness and accuracy of preoperative staging of T and N in advanced gastric cancer.It is valuable for the preoperative diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum bone metabolism biomarkers and bone mineral density (BMD) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with different stages. Methods Seventy-eight CKD patients were enrolled in this study and were assigned to different groups according to their ereatinine clearance (Cer). Patients with Cer ≥ 15 ml/min were divided into 4 groups based on clinical CKD 1-4 stage standard, and those with Ccr<15 ml/min were divided into two groups of hemodialysis (HD) and non-HD. Their levels of serum calcium, phosphorus, alkalinity phosphatase (ALP), urea, Ser, osteocalein (gla-protein, OC), calcitonin (CT), intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), osteoprotegerin (OPG) and BMD were detected respectively. Results (1) The serum levels of OPG, iPTH and phosphorus increased significantly in stage 3, 4, 5, respectively (P<0.01), and serum OPG level was elevated to (5.1±1.34) ng/L after HD, which was significantly higher than (3.35±0.76) ng/L before HD (P<0.05). The levels of serum OC, CT, calcium, ALP were not significantly different among patients with different CKD stages, while the level of OC was elevated in HD patients (P<0.05). The femoral WARDS triangle BMD of CKD stage 4 patients decreased to 0.77±0.09, which was less than the value of CKD stage 1 patients (P<0.01), with litde influence from hemodialysis treatment. (2) The level of serum OPG was positively correlated with the levels of serum phosphorus, iPTH, OC (r = 0.51, 0.39, 0.36,all P<0.01), and it was negatively correlated with the level of Ccr (r =-0.70, P<0.01). The femoral WARDS triangle BMD was negatively correlated with the levels of iPTH, OC, phosphorus and OPG (r =-0.59,-0.51,-0.45,-0.48, all P<0.05). Conclusions Most of serum bone metabolism biomarkers change according to the declined level of Cer. Compared with serum phosphorus, the levels of iPTH, BGP and femoral WARDS triangle BMD, serum OPG may be early diagnosticmarkers of renal osteodystrophy in CKD patients.

Objective To explore a new scanning technique to reduce and avoid image artifacts of thoracoabdominal CT and improve image quality for patients who cannot raise their arms. Methods Sixty-one patients with arm-raising disability between March 2004 and May 2009 were enrolled in the study. Thirty-one cases before June 2007 were scanned with their arms beside their body (control group), 30 cases after June 2007 were scanned with their arms shifting to different imaging planes of the spine(study group), and another 30 patients who can raising their arms were taken as routine group. The images artifacts were blindly evaluated by 5-points scale (severe, less severe, moderate, minimum and no artifact) by 2 experienced CT technologists and one radiologist and compared between the three groups (χ~2 test). CT values and its noise of the liver with or without artifact of the three groups were measured and analyzed by one-way ANOVA test. Results In the control group, 11 cases had severe, 15 cases had less severe, 5 cases had moderate. In the study group, 6 cases had moderate, 15 cases had minimum, 9 cases had no artifact. In the routine group, 8 cases minimum and 22 cases had no artifact. Image quality was significantly improved in the study group compared to the conventional group where χ~2 = 95.32 and P <0.01. CT value and the noise of the liver without artifact were (54.5±3.0) HU and 10. 7±2.4 in the control group, (52.0±3.5) HU and 10.7±0.5 in the study group, (53.7±3.1) HU and 9.9±0.5 in the routine group, respectively. CT value and noise of the liver with artifact were (41.7±8.4) HU and 17.9±2.6 in control group, (53.1±6.9) HU and 11.0±0.7 in the study group, (54.1±2.4) HU and 9.9±0.5 in the routine group, respectively. The CT value and its noise variation with artifact were significantly higher in the control group than the study group and the control group, where F = 36.352,235. 848, respectively and P <0.01. Conclusion The image quality can be improved and the artifact can be minimized for the patients with arm-raising disability by shifting their arm position to the different imaging planes of the spine.
