Hepatitis C virus (HCV)was easily developed into hepatitis,cirrhosis and liver cancer after infecting human.Cur-rently,the traditional method of treatment of HCV was pegylated interferon and ribavirin program,which was ineffective and had poor side effects,while the new direct antiviral drugs were expensive.Therefore,looking for cheap and non-toxic side effects of treatment was the focus of current research.More and more evidence indicate that micro-Ribose Nucleic Acid (miRNAs)play an important role in the development of liver disease,regeneration and functional regulation.This review studies the relationship between miR-122 and Hepatitis C virus and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the value of immunoblotting in the detection of serum thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) in breast tumor patients. Methods TK1 in sera from breast tumor patients, non tumor patients and healthy volunteers were determined with immunoblotting assay.Results The levels of TK1 in breast cancer patients before operation, patients with benign breast tumor, non tumor patients, and healthy volunteers were (39.3? 33.9), (3.7?3.9), (1.7?0.5) and (1.4?0.5) pmol/L respectively. The value of TK1 was higher in malignant and benign breast neoplasms patients than in healthy volunteers. However, no significant difference in the TK1 level was found between breast cancer patients without metastasis after operation, non tumor patients, and healthy volunteers.Conclusions The immunoblotting of TK1 by anti TK1 antibody is a sensitive and specific assay. It can be used to monitor and predict the efficiency of the therapy as well as the breast neoplasms progression during clinical course.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of the human telomeruse gene (hTERC)in the cytologic specimens of cervix for early cervical lesion screening.Methods Cytologic samples of cervix including 120 normal persons,86 CIN patients and 14 SCC patients were analyzed for aberrations of 3q26 using a commercially available two-color FISH probe.Results Positive expression rates of hTERC gene in normal,CIN Ⅰ ,CIN Ⅱ,CIN Ⅲ and SCC samples were 1.7%(2/120),2.6%(1/38),55.6%(10/118),87.5%(14/16),100.0%(14/14),100.0%(14/14),respectively.Compared with CIN Ⅰ/CIN Ⅱ group,hTERC gene positive expressions in SCC/CIN Ⅲ group were higher significantly(P=0.01),and them were also difference between CIN Ⅰ-CIN Ⅲ group and normal controls(X~2=113.52,P <0.01).With progression from CIN to carcinoma,polyploidization resulting in aneuploidy and high TERC gene copy numbers in SCC group ascended significantly.Among the total abnormal cells,the number of the cells percentage which hTERC amplification signals was more than 3:3 in CIN Ⅰ ,CIN Ⅱ,CIN Ⅲ and SCC groups were 6.12%,7.98%,28.07% and 33.97%,respectively.Condusion The hTERC gene is increasingly gained with progression of CIN and may appear to be another screening testmarker for early cervical cancer screening and accessory diagnosis.

Objective To explore the association of serum high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) level with leptin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitns (T2DM). Methods 35 cases of T2DM patients were involved in the study and 16 normal subjects were taken as controls. Fasting serum leptin and CRP were measured .The relationship between them were also analyzed. Results Fasting serum hs-CRP concentration in T2DM group was higher than that in healthy control group, but serum ieptin levels is the same (P > 0.05). Partial correlation analysis demonstrated that fasting hs-CRP level was positively correlated with leptin (r =0.512 ,P =0. 018). Conclusion Fasting serum hs-CRP level is significantly raised in T2DM ,which is associated with leptin. There is chronic inflammatory reaction in T2DM patients,and leptin is possibly involved in inflammatory pathogenesis of T2DM.
