Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect ofcapsaicin at different concentrations on chronic knee arthritis pain model in mice.Methods:Choosing 50 healthy adult male Kunming mice builded chronic knee arthritis pain model by injecting 0.01 mL CFA (Complete Freund's Adjuvant,CFA) into left joint cavity.The model would be succeed in building after 3 weeks.The successful model mice were divided into five groups randomly (n=10):The first experimental group (saline group),the second experimental group (capsaicin excipient group),the third experimental group (0.5 % of capsaicin),the fourth experimental group (3 % of capsaicin) and the fifth experimental group (8 % of capsaicin).All of the mice would be observed the time of withdrawal latencies from the thermal heated surface after administration of one,four and seven hours,and thermal withdrawal time within 60 days after the injection.Results:①The physiological saline group compared with excipient group,the thermal withdrawal time had no statistically significant difference (P>0.05)after administration of one,four and seven hours,and thermal withdrawal time within 60 days.②The acute pain duration of the third group would disappear after capsaicin injection 7 hours,four hours for the fourth group,and one hour for the fifth group.③The duration of analgesia of the third group,lasted for 18.9± 1.1 days;The analgesia time of the fourth group lasted for 33.7± 1.0 days;The analgesia time of the fifth group lasted for 58.2± 1.2 days.Conclusions:Capsaicin has analgesic effects on chronic knee pain model in mice induced by CFA,and the days of analgesia increases with the concentration of capsaicin.

Advanced studying doctors play important roles in the clinical services, and how to train them to improve training quality is worth investigating. We classified them into three types such as the clinical skills-improved, the special skills-trained and clinical knowledge eextensively-spread, then employed the individual teaching methods and emphasized the medical ethics during the training, which is not only beneficial to us, but also of great importance and necessity to advanced studying doctors themselves.

Cervical cancer is the second most common malignant tumor of women all over the world.Infection with oncogenic human papilloma virus ( HPV) types is the most important risk factor to cause cervical cancer.The viral genome of HPV consists of three regions:the early region (E), the late region (L) and the long control region (LCR).The early proteins (E1, E2, E4, E5, E6, E7 ) play vital roles in the continuous virus expression and replication in cells.Among these proteins, E6 protein has the closest relationship with the tumorogenesis and development of cervical cancer.Many mechanisms of the HPV encoded early protein E6 in in-ducing cervical cancer have been characterized, including degradation of p53 protein, activation of telomerase, interaction with PDZ protein, disturbance of cellular signaling pathways, inhibition of immune recognition and blockage of cellular apoptosis.HPV E6 pro-tein may be a preferred target in prevention and treatment of cervical cancer.

Objective To observe the ultrasonographic and pathological features of metaplastic carcinoma with squamous cell component (MCSC) of the breast.Methods The ultrasonographic and pathological features of 7 patients with breast MCSC confirmed pathologically were retrospectively analyzed.Results Seven cases were single lesion and the maximal diameters of the lesions were 2.6-5.1 cm.On two-dimensional imaging,6 lesions with cystic and solid were complex echogenic,only 1 lesion was hypoechoic.All the lesions had irregular shape (lobulated)and indistinct margin.On CDFI imaging,most of lesions had rich blood flow signals with high resistance (resistance index 0.75-0.91),4 lesions were grade l,2 lesions were grade Ⅱ and 1 lesion was grade Ⅰ blood flow signals.On gross histopathological examination,6 masses had cystic cavity,only 1 mass was pure solid.On microscopic histopathological examination,5 masses were adenosqua mous carcinoma,only 2 masses were pure squamous cell carcinoma.Estrogen receptors,progesterone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor were negative in 4 masses (triple-negative breast cancer).Conclusion MCSC have some distinguished ultrasonic characteristics of larger volume,cystic-solid mixed echo,posterior echo enhancement,abundant vascularity with high resistance.

Objective To investigate the effect of silence of human protection of telomeres 1 (hPOT1), which was induced by RNA interference, on expression of telomeric repeat factor 1 (TRF1), telomeric repeat factor 2 (TRF2) and Tankyrase 1 in human gastric cancer cell BGC823. Methods The ex-pression of TRF1 ,TRF2 and Tankyrasel at mRNA level were determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Re-sults Significant increase in expression of TRFI, marked decrease of TRF2 and Tankyrase1 at mRNA level were observed in cells of hPOT1 siRNA. Conclusion The significant increase in expression of TRF1 and the marked decease in TRF2 and Tnakyrasel at mRNA level after the inhibited expression of hPOT1 in human gastric cancer cell BGC823 indicate that hPOTI is highly correlated with the expressions of other three te-lomere-specific binding proteins.

Objective To explore the expression and diagnostic value of circulating microRNA(miR)-126-3p in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Multi-centred miR chips and sequencing data were col-lected to investigate the differential expression of circulating miR-126-3p in NSCLC.In order to evaluate the comprehensive expression level of circulating miR-126-3p in the cycle,the standardized mean difference(SMD)and summary receiver operating characteristic(sROC)curve were calculated,and the area under curve(AUC)of sROC curve was analyzed.Sensitivity,specificity,positive negative likelihood ratio were ex-plored,and the expression of circulating miR-126-3p was further comprehensively analyzed in combination with tissue.By using miRDB,starBase v2.0,and TargetScan 7.1,combined with up-regulated differentially expressed genes in NSCLC,potential target genes of circulating miR-126-3p were screened using complemen-tary sequence method.Results Based on six circulating miR datasets,the expression level of circulating miR-126-3p was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that circulating miR-126-3p had strong diagnostic efficacy(AUC>0.5),and the comprehensive expression of circulating miR-126-3p was lower in 199 cases of NSCLC group than in the control group(SMD=-1.46).The sROC curve showed that circulating miR-126-3p distin-guished the NSCLC group from the control group with high accuracy(AUC=0.91),Egger's test showed no publication bias(P>0.05),with sensitivity and specificity 0.80,and positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio were 5.37 and 0.18,respectively.In addition,a comprehensive analysis of the circulation and tissue of 1 320 NSCLC samples from 26 datasets showed that circulating miR-126-3p expression was lower in NSCLC group than in the control group(SMD=-2.07).The sROC curve showed that low-expression circu-lating miR-126-3p had high accuracy in distinguishing between the NSCLC group and the control group(AUC=0.97).In addition,potential target genes ADAM9 and SLC7A5 were screened for circulating miR-126-3p,and their expression in NSCLC group was higher than that in the control group.Conclusion Low ex-pression of circulating miR-126-3p in the circulation may be an important biomarker for high-precision screen-ing of NSCLC.
