Objective To explore the significance of carbon nanoparticles in routine central lymph node dissection of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC).Methods 272 cases of PTMC admitted from 2013 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed and they were divided into two groups,the experimental group who were given carbon nanoparticles during surgery (136 cases) and the control group (136 cases) without carbon nanoparticles.The total number of central lymph nodes,number of transfer,and the black dye lymph node number and transfer number in the experimental group were recorded.The total number of lymph nodes,and number of transfer in the control group were recorded.The metastasis rate of the two groups were analyzed.The number of parathyroid mistakenly cut and hypocalcemia cases of the two groups were counted.Parathyroid function was observed by determination of Ca2+ and PTH in blood.The incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury of the two groups was compared.Results The total number of central lymph nodes was 1216 and the transfer number was 481 in the experimental group,higher than those of the control group.The positive lymph node rate of the two groups was 39.6％ and 25.9％ respectively,and the difference was statistically significant.The mumber of patients with central lymph node metastasis was 63 and 42 respectively for the experimental group and the control group,and the transfer rate was 46.3％ and 30.8％ respectively.The difference was statistically significant.The rate of parathyroid mistakenly cut was 2.6％(7/261) and 14.7％ (28/193) respectively for the experimental group and the control group,and the difference was statistically significant.The difference of Ca2+ and PTH value at 3h,6h,and 12h after surgery between the two group was statistically significant.No RLN injury occured.5 cases in the experimental and 8 cases in the control group had temporary RLN injury.The difference was not statistically significant.Conclusions The application of carbon nanoparticles in PTMC surgery can help to improve the thoroughness of central lymph node dissection and to protect parathyroid function.However,its benefits to protect the recurrent laryngeal is uncertain.

AIM To invesigate the effect of subarachnoid transplantation of APA microcapsulized bovine chromaffin cells (BCCs) on mRNA expression for Nav1.8 in the dorsal root ganglia neurons(DRG) of rats with neuropathic pain by means of in situ hybridization. METHODS SD rats were randomly divided into four groups of five. Normal rats were used as control group (group C). Rats with right sciatic nerve been ligated were used as CCI group. Five to six hundred empty APA microcapsules(group APA) or 5?10 6 APA microcapsulized BCCs (group APA-BCCs) were grated into subarachnoid space of CCI rats 7 days after operation. Allodynia and hyperalgesia were measured by Von-Frey filaments and CO 2 laser 7 days after transplantation. DRG in lumbar four and five was taken out and 15 ?m freezing sections were made 7 days after tansplantation. Sections was used to detect mRNA expression for TTX-resistent Na + Nav1.8 by in situ hybridization with Dig-labeled RNA probe. RESULTS The mRNA hybridization signal for Nav1.8 in DRG of group CCI and group APA was lower than that of group C. The expression of mRNA for Nav1.8 in DRG was higher in group APA-BCCs than that in group CCI and group APA with abatement of allodynia and hyperalgesia. There was no difference in the mRNA hybridization signal for Nav1.8 in DRG between group APA-BCCs and group C. CONCLUSION mRNA expression for Nav1.8 in DRG of CCI ratswas down-regulated. APA microcapsulized BCCs grafting can reverse the down-regulation of mRNA expression for Nav1.8 in DRG of CCI rats. Restoration of mRNA expression for Nav1.8 in DRG contributes to the analgesic effect of subarachnoid transplantation of APA microcapsulized BCCs.

Objective To investigate the effects of Kruppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) on the apoptotic and migration ability of HepG2 cell, and the developmental role of KLF6 on zebrafish liver.Methods Constructed plasmid with shRNA-KLF6 was transfected in HepG2 and L-02.The impacts of loss of KLF6 on HepG2 was investigated by Western bolt, apoptosis analyses, cell cycle detection and scratch experiment;KLF6 morpholino oligonucleotides was microinjected into the Tg(lfabp:eGFP) transgenic zebrafish embryos.The morphant phenotype of the liver was imaged and the protein expression of KLF6 after knockdown of KLF6 was analyzed by Immunofluorescence staining.Results The expression of KLF6 in L-02 was significantly higher than in HepG2.After knockout of KLF6, KLF6 protein expression and apoptosis were significantly reduced.In addition, the cell cycle mainly stated in S phase and the migration ability of HepG2 was enhanced.After klf6 knockdown in transgenic zebrafish larvae, the development of zebrafish liver was delayed and KLF6 expression was obviously decreased in the liver.Conclusions The reduction of KLF6 expression increased the proliferation and migration ability, and reduced the apoptosis of HepG2.Loss of KLF6 affects the development of zebrafish liver, which may open a possibility to use zebrafish as a liver cancer model and for anti-liver cancer drug screening.

Objective To investigate the regulation role of gastric cancer related miR-148a on gastrin receptor CCKBR expression, and find the correct binding sites of miR-148a in CCKBR 3’UTR.Methods The potential binding sites of miR-148a in the CCKBR 3’UTR were predicted with the bioinformatic tools;The miR-148a expressing plasmid was constructed by PCR, and miR-148a expression was verified by Northern Blot;The luciferase report plasmids containing the wild type and mutated binding sites of CCKBR 3’ UTR were constructed, and were used to study the regulation mechanism and identify the binding sites of miR-148a by luciferase activity analysis; The regulation effect of miR-148a on CCKBR protein expression was checked by Western Blot.Results Three potential binding sites of miR-148a in the CCKBR 3’ UTR were found; The miR-148a expressing plasmid was constructed successfully, and highly expressed miR-148a after transfected to gastric cancer cells;The inhibitory effect of miR-148a on CCKBR protein expression was checked by Western Blot.Over-expression of miR-148a inhibited CCKBR expression by directly binding to the binding site in CCKBR 3’UTR 423bp.Conclusion CCKBR is a target of miR-148a, and its expression is inhibited by the binding of miR-148a on its 3’ UTR, indicating that miR-148a may participates in the progression of gastric cancer by regulating CCKBR expression.
