ADAM9, a member of ADAM family, plays an important role in development of many human diseases especially neoplasms as its metaUoproteinases activity and the ability of combining with integrins. This might help us find new therapeutic targetpoints and therefore offer new therapeutic approaches.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in infection and replication of virus in host cells. To identify cellular miRNAs involved in the host response to enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection, we examined miRNAs effects on the replication of EV71 in rhabdomyosarcoma cells. We constructed target gene of miRNAs screening system. 3'untranslated region (UTR) dual luciferase reporter analysis was used to identify putative miRNA targets in the EV71 virus genome. First, 13 segments of EV71 virus genomes were inserted to the pMIR vector and the luciferase expression were assayed to identify the target gene of putative miRNA. The reporter gene expression of the cells transfected with the vector containing 5'-UTR was significantly downregulated. Then we screened the miRNAs that may target to 5'-UTR using online analysis programs. Furthermore, Western blotting and real-time PCR test were performed to investigate the effect of miRNAs on viral replication. The study showed that miR373 and miR542-5p could suppress the replication of EV71 virus through binding to the 5'-UTR gene. Cellular miRNAs could regulate the replication of EV71 virus in host cells, and our paper should report the role of miR373 and miR542-5p in this regulation for the first time. Our findings supported the notion that the cellular miRNAs might be essential in the host-pathogen interactions.

The treatment of malignant tumor is one of the world's worst medical problem and is thus a research hotspot. The occur-rence of tumor development follows the molecule→cell→tissue→organ process. In theory, treatment can be achieved at any stage of tumor-growth by inhibition. Minimally invasive technology for treating tumor embodies the following direction of tumor treat-ment:minimally invasive, precise, and efficient. With endoscopy or imaging as a guide, the purpose of minimally invasive therapy is to have a small wound and to control tumor maximally at the tissue and organ level;thus, this therapy mode is the best and most pre-cise. This kind of technology has a good application prospect, even in the case of distant metastasis, and can be used to relieve the symptoms and improving the quality of survival by treating lesions affecting important organ functions. Minimally invasive therapy is a great challenge following the direction of modern medicine. With the development of medical science and technology, the important role of minimally invasive therapy in future tumor therapy is foreseen.

Objective:To investigate biomechanical changes of mandible in the impact injure simulated by finite element method (FEM).Methods:Mimics and Comsol software were used to build a FEM of human craniofacial bone based on CT scan data of a normal adult.LS-DYNA and Hypermesh software were used to simulate the impact with different quality,velocity and angulation pro-duced injures of human mandible,the biomechanical parameters of the mandible in the impact injury process were analysed.Results:A FEMof human maxillofacial bone was established,and the dynamic process of different impact force produced damage was simula-ted.Mandibular chin,angle and condylar neck was the stress concentrated area in the process of mandible injury.There was higher stress peak at the site which was closer to the impact position,the stress peak arrival time was also earlier.When the impactor with the same quality,the bigger the velocity,the greater the stress peak.When the impactor with the same velocity,the bigger the quali-ty,the greater the stress peak.When the impactor with the same velocity and quality,there was greater stress peak under the impact to mandible from angulation of 0 degree.Stress transfered to the surrounding bone from the impact position radially and gradually re-duced.The bone area with small cross-section was prone to high stress and more serious damage.Conclusion:The quality,the ve-locity,the impact angle and the impact site are the factors affecting the severity of impact injury.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)combined with per-cutaneous microwave ablation(MWA)in treatment of large-sized hepatic carcinoma.Methods A total of 84 patients with large-sized hepatic carcinoma were randomly and equally divided into the study group(n=42)and control group(n=42).TACE combined with MWA was carried out in the patients of the study group,while only TACE was performed in the patients of the control group.Results The effective rate of the study group and the control group was 71.4% and 42.8% respectively,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P <0.05).In the study group,the survival rates at 6,12,18,24 months after the treatment were 88.1%,73.8%,52.3% and 33.3% respectively,while in the control group the survival rates were 76.2%,57.1%,30.9% and 9.5%respectively.There was no statistically significant differences in the postoperative complications between the two groups.Conclusion TACE combined with MWA appears to be an effective approach for the treatment of large-sized hepatic carcinoma.The effect of combined therapy is obviously superior to the only TACE.

Objective To explore whether intravenous injection of hydrogen‐rich saline having the protective effect on sodium taurocholate induced severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) associated lung injury(APALI) in rats and its possible mechanisms .Methods Fifty‐four healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into sham‐operation group (Sham group) ,model group (SAP+ NS group) and hydrogen water treatment group (SAP + HRS group) ,and each group was subdivided into 6 ,12 ,24 h subgroups .Six rats were killed at each time point for collecting serum ,lung tissue and pancreas tissue .Serum TNF‐αand IL‐1βlevels ,lung wet /dry weight ratio ,expression of TNF‐αmRNA and IL‐1βmRNA in the lung tissue were detected .The pathological evaluation of pancreas and lung tissue injury was performed .Results (1)The levels of TNF‐α and IL‐1β in serum ,pancreas and lung tissue pathological scores ,TNF‐αmRNA and IL‐1βmRNA expression levels in the lung tissue and lung wet dry weight ratio at the time points of 6 , 12 ,24 h in the SAP+NS group and the SAP+ HRS group were higher than those in the sham group (P<0 .05) .(2) Compared with the SAP+NS group ,the levels of serum TNF‐α,TNF‐αmRNA expression level in the lung tissue and lung wet dry weight ra‐tio at all time points in the SAP+ HRS group were lower(P<0 .05);the levels of serum IL‐1β,pancreas and lung tissue pathologi‐cal score and IL‐1β‐mRNA expression at 6 h in the lung tissue had no statistical difference between the SAP+NS group and SAP+HRS group ,but which at time points of 12 ,24 h in the SAP+ HRS group were lower than those in the SAP+NS group(P<0 .05) . Conclusion HRS realize the protection on APALI possibly via its elective anti‐oxidation action for inhibiting oxidative stress injury related cytokines expression .

A 41-year-old woman with liver cirrhosis had recurrent portal hypertension and bleeding from esophageal varices due to complete occlusion of a previously inserted transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt stent. Because recanalization of the stent by the transjugular approach was unsuccessful, ultrasound-guided entry to the splenic vein and portal vein was used. After catheter-directed intrathrombus thrombolysis, successful opening of the stent was achieved and a stent was placed. We herein report a rare case in which thrombolysis and recanalization of a TIPS stent were performed via a percutaneous transhepatic approach.
