Objective To investigate the effect of expression level and methylation level of miR-200b on proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of gastric cancer cell line MGC-803 in vitro. Methods Normal human gastric epithelium cell line GES-1, and gastric cancer cell line MGC-803 cells were cultured and harvested to extract total RNA. Then miR-200b ex?pression level was examined via q-PCR;Methylation in promoter of miR-200b was revealed by Bisulphite PCR. MGC-803 cells were treated with different concentrations of 5′-Aza-CdR to test its effect on miR-200b expression and methylation of its promotor. The effect of its treatment at 10μmol/L for 72 h on invasion,proliferation and apoptosis of both cell lines were detected by Transwell assay, Flow cytometry and apoptosis assay respectively. The gene related to EMT (epithelial-mesen?chymal transition ) such as E-cadherin,N-cadherin,ZEB1,Slug were checked by Western blot. Results The expression of miR-200b in GES-1 is higher than that in MGC-803(P=0.022). The methylation level in promoter region of miR-200b in GES-1 is lower than that in MGC-803(P=0.034). After treated with 5′-Aza-CdR, the expression of miR-200b in MGC-803 cell was up-regulated in a timely dependent manner. On the contrary, the methylation in promoter of mirR-200b were down-regulated when 5′-Aza-CdR were added at 10μmol/L(P=0.043). What’s more, 5′-Aza-CdR administration increas?es cell apoptosis especially in aged cells and delays cell cycle at G0/G1 which in turn decrease ratio of cells in S phages. 5′-Aza-CdR treatment also decreased invasiveness and induced expression of E-cadherin, as well as down regulated the ex?pressions of N-cadhrin, ZEB1, Slug and MMP9 in MGC-803 cells. Conclusion Expression of miR-200b could be affected by methylation of promoter of miR-200b and in turn regulate proliferation and invasion of gastric cells in vitro.

Objective This paper summarize peri-operative nursing of minimally invasive surgery on osteoradionecrosis of skull base after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods 47 cases of osteoradionecrosis of skull base after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma were operated via nasal endoscope from March 2006 to March 2013.Focused peri-operative psychological support and adequate medical care were given to patients.Strengthened nasal nasopharyngeal cavity nursing,the observation and nursing of complications were carried out after operation and health guidance pre-discharge was given.Results The operations of 47 cases were successful and no major complication of intra-operation and post-operation occurred.Headache and foul odor relieved after operation.The follow-up continued for 3 to 84 months,46 cases were survived,1 case died of nasopharyngeal massive bleeding.Conclusions Effective peri-operative nursing of minimally invasive surgery on osteoradionecrosis of skull base after radiotherapy could ensure patients' cooperation and the smooth implementation of surgery and improve the quality of life.

Objective To summarize the key points of nursing care in reservation of catheters in 11 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients who received concurrent chemo-radiotherapy with symptomatic thrombosis after ultrasound-guided implantation of double-lumen PICCs(PowerPICC).Methods From January,2014 to December,2015,totally 11 cases with symptomatic venous thromboembolism were identified among 109 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients receiving concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy,and observation and nursing care were provided at the early stage of thrombosis and during thrombosis.Results All double-lumen PICCs were reserved,and no recurrence or aggravation of thrombosis was recorded to the end of the treatment.The duration of carrying PICCs was 67～89(77.45±6.65) days.Conclusion With careful treatment and nursing,PICC catheter-related complications can be reduced and the duration of carrying catheters can be prolonged,which leads to accomplishment of the treatment plan for patients.

Objective To assess the technical feasibility and effectiveness of X-ray-guided implantation of inverted Y-type metal airway stent under local anesthesia by using a modified technique of exchanging guide wire in order to shorten operation time.Methods The clinical data of a total of 16 patients,who received inverted Y-type metal airway stent implantation under local anesthesia,were retrospectively analyzed.Routine gradual guide wire exchange method with a harder one was used in 6 patients (routine group),while in 10 patients (modification group) a modified technique of exchanging guide wire,i.e.inserting two hard wires at one time,was employed.Technical success rate and operation time were used as the main observation indexes.Results Under local anesthesia,the implantation of inverted Y-type metal airway stent was successfully accomplished in all 16 patients.The mean operation time of the routine group and the modification group was 15.6 minutes and 11.1 minutes respectively,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion For the performance of implantation of inverted Ytype metal airway stent under local anesthesia to treat malignant carina stenosis,the use of modified technique of guide wire insertion,i.e.inserting two hard wires at one time,can effectively shorten the operation time.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of radiomics nomogram,which is established by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT radiomics signature combined with clinical-pathologic risk factors,in predicting the prognosis of patients with postoperative gastric carcinoma.Methods 18F-FDG PET/CT data of 207 patients (143 males,64 females,age range:20-85 years) with postoperative gastric carcinoma from January 2008 to August 2015 was reviewed retrospectively.Patients were divided into training group (n=104) and validation group (n =103),and the clinicopathologic information and disease-free survival (DFS) data were acquired.Significant textural features were selected from PET/CT images,and radiomics score (RS) for individual patient was calculated based on the radiomics signatures.The relationship between RS and DFS was analyzed.Cox regression analysis was performed to determine the risk factors ofDFS.The radiomics nomo-gram,obtained from combination of RS with clinicopathologic risk factors,was established and further evaluated in predictive value for recurrence or metastasis of postoperative gastric carcinoma,and the concordance index (C-index) was calculated.Results Cox regression analysis demonstrated that RS,tumor location,depth of invasion,lymph node metastasis,and distant metastasis were the significant risk factors for DFS (hazard ratios:2.148-2.828,all P＜0.05).The radiomics nomogram combined with RS and 4 clinicopathologic risk factors had a better prediction for the estimated DFS,comparing to RS alone.C-index of radiomics nomogram and RS were 0.830 and 0.700 in training group,and 0.776 and 0.681 in validation group,respectively.Conclusion Radiomics nomogram which is established by radiomics signatures and clinicopathologic risk factors may be better for predicting DFS of patients with postoperative gastric carcinoma.

Congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are common congenital malformations identified by prenatal ultrasound. This review summarizes the fetal renal development, the mechanism of CAKUT, and the influence of the fetal environment on CAKUT. CAKUT can manifest as different degrees of renal disease, from transient hydronephrosis to severe bilateral renal dysplasia, a major risk factor for chronic and end-stage renal disease in childhood. Genetic factors and abnormal fetal environment can both contribute to CAKUT. Ultrasound screening is conducive to detect CAKUT but may miss some defects. Monogenic mutations identified in CAKUT can help us gain more insight into the molecular mechanisms of renal development.
