MicroRNAs ( miRNAs) are a kinds of small non-coding RNA that regulate the expression of gene at the posttran-scriptional level and play important roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as proliferation , differentiation and apoptosis.Recently, it has been reported that miRNAs expression abnormalities are closely associated with the initiation and devel -opment of glioma .Moreover , the expression levels of some miRNA are specifically involved in the molecular pathogenesis of glioma , revealing their great potential as a class of novel biomarkers for cancers and therapeutic targets .In this review , we summarizes the lat-est researches on miRNA and glioma .

Pancreatic cancer is a common malignant neoplasm of digestive system with a fairly poor prognosis, the diagnosis rate in its early stage is low, and in recent years its incidence rate has become more and more high. Surgical remove is the only radical means, whereas only 20% of patients can get the oppotunity of surgery when the diagnosis is confirmed. More unfortunately, the five-year overall survival rate after the surgery is as low as 15 - 20%. Therefore, it is of clinical significance to improve the survival rate and to prolong survival time. Comprehensive interventional therapy has many advantages, as the technique is safe and mini-invasive with satisfactory short-term efficacy. Nowadays, interventional therapy has become the hot point in the research of pancreatic cancer. This paper aims to make a review about the current situation and progress of interventional treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer.

BACKGROUND: A considerable number of epilepsy patients cannot be treated sufficiently by drug. Epilepsy surgery is a treatment option in these cases. However, precisely localizing epileptogenic zone in epileptic patients is a successful element of epilepsy surgery. Its goal is to remove a minimum volume to control the seizures without cognitive impairment. Presurgical evaluation typically involves electroencephalogram (EEG), video-EEG monitoring, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single photon emission computed tomography and neuropsychological testing. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) has been as a noninvasive technique to be used to epilepsy surgical planning and brain functional study in many countries.OBJECTIVE: To preoperatively localize epileptogenic zone in patients with lesion-associated epilepsy using magnetoencephalography, compare with noninvasive video-EEG, and assess its localizing value according to the surgical outcomes. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A retrospective case analysis was performed at the Magnetoencephalography Laboratory, Guangdong 999 Brain Hospital, China between November 2001 and December 2005.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 618 epileptic patients undergoing magnetoencephalography. Spontaneous magnetic field signal was collected to analyze single dipole location. Of them, 149 patients with MRI-documented epilepsy underwent surgery. The history of disease was at least 2 years. The course of disease ranged 2-35 years, with an average of 9.5 years. METHODS: MEG was recorded by a 148-channels whole head type MEG system (Magnes WH2500, 4-D Neuroimaging, San Diego, CA, USA) in Magnetically Shielded Room (MSR, Germany). Sampling rate: 508.63 Hz, 30-minutes interictal MEG (Bandpass: 1.0-100 Hz). For magnetic source imaging, the nasion and preauricular points were applied as fiducials. Single equivalent current dipole (ECDs) and head sphere model were applied for analysis. Estimated ECDs were overlaid on T1-weighted MRI of each subject.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Preoperative MEG, MRI, and video-EEG and postoperative follow-up were measured. RESULTS: The sensitivity of the interictal MEG for detecting epileptiform activity was found in 91% of the patient. In most cases, the equivalent dipoles were mainly distributed over the border and neighborhood of the structural lesions. By MEG, we were able to localize the resected region in a greater proportion of patients (62.4%, 93/149) than with noninvasive vedio-EEG (38.9%, 58/149) in all patients with MRI-documented lesions. A total of 89 patients were followed up from 3-35 months, averagely 9 months. Of the 89 patients, 72 patients (80.9%) had no postoperative seizures (EngelⅠ); 7 (7.9%) cases obtain Engel Ⅱ and Engel Ⅲ outcomes. Favorable outcomes were not seen in 10 patients (11.2%) cases (Engel Ⅳ and Engel Ⅴ). Total effective rate was 88.8% (EngelⅠ-Ⅲ). CONCLUSION: MEG is not only most useful for presurgical planning in epilepsy patients with MRI-documented lesions, but is also a noninvasive method to identify the spatial relationship between the lesion and epileptogenic zone, a precise localization of the epileptogenic zone is correlated to a favorable outcome.

Traditional Chinese medicine teaching in general medical university was unsatisfied under the influence of many problems such as indefinite purpose,few class hours but many teaching contents,the different theoretical system between traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine,and theory divorced from practice etc.Therefore,the author suggested several measures that may help increasing teaching quality such as making definite course purpose and stimulating students' learning interest,enhancing training of imagery thinking,carefully electing teaching contents,integrating theory with practice and increasing clinical practice etc.

To investigate the role of rehabilitation therapy both on nutritional status and intestinal adaptation of patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS). Methods The literatures about rehabilitation therapy for SBS were reviewed. Results Intestinal rehabilitation refers to the process of restoring enteral autonomy, in order to get rid of parenteral nutrition, usually by means of dietary, medical, and surgical treatment. Recent researches showed that medication and the use of specific nutrients and growth factors could stimulate intestinal absorption and might be useful in the medical management of SBS. Conclusion Intestinal rehabilitation is of benefit in the treatment of SBS and would play a greater role in the future.

BACKGROUND:Manual reduction or traditional steel plate fixation is commonly used for repair of proximal humerus factures in older patients, because of poor stability, making these injuries prone to fracture malunion. While open reduction with steel plate fixation has a better outcome than closed reduction, the stability of internal fixation is stil less than satisfactory. Clinical studies have shown that minimal y invasive treatment with locking compression plates has presented good clinical results in terms of fixation stability, bone healing, and functional recovery. Therefore, we hypothesize that use of a locking compression plate wil provide better stability and that biocompatibility wil potentiate fracture healing and shoulder function recovery in older patients with proximal humerus fractures. OBJECTIVE:To observe the improvement of minimal y invasive treatment with locking compression plates in older patients with proximal humerus fractures. MEHTODS:This prospective, single-center, randomized control ed clinical trial wil be completed at the Department of Joint Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University in China. Eighty-two older patients with proximal humerus fractures wil be enrol ed and equivalently assigned to two groups. In the test group, patients wil undergo closed reduction via a lateral approach to the shoulder fol owed by locking compression plate fixation using a minimal y invasive technique, and those in the control group wil be subjected to closed reduction via a lateral approach to the shoulder fol owed by conventional steel plate fixation using a minimal y invasive technique. Al patients wil be fol owed up for 6 months. The primary outcome wil be recovery of shoulder function as indicated by clinical outcome scores according to the Neer classification system for proximal humeral fractures 6 months after surgery. The secondary outcomes wil include the operation time;intraoperative blood loss;postoperative hospital stay;fracture healing time;clinical outcome scores according to the Neer classification system 0.5, 1, and 3 months after surgery;visual analogue scale scores 1 and 3 days and 1 and 2 weeks after surgery to assess pain;scores of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item short form health survey 0.5, 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery to assess quality of life;and X-ray examinations 0.5, 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery to assess fracture healing. The experiment was approved by the Ethics Committee of Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University of China (approval No. QHY1005D). Participants were informed to the test content and treatment process, and signed informed consent. DISCUSSION:This study protocol represents an attempt to objectively choose appropriate methods for internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures in older patients by comparing locking compression plate and conventional steel plate fixation to improve shoulder function. TRIAL REGISTRATION:This trial was registered with the ClinicalTrials.gov identifier:NCT02784522;on 19 May 2016.

Objective To study the use of fiberoptic bronchoscope in the positioning of double-lumen endobronchial tube in Chinese patients. Methods Ninety ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ patients (60 male and 30 female) undergoing thoracic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation were enrolled in the study. Age ranged from 14-79 years (mean age 56 ?16) and the average height was 169? 6 cm (male) and 158?6 cm (female) respectively. Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl, propofol and vecuronium. Double-lumen endobronchial tube (Broncho-Cath, Mallincrodt Medical) was inserted following conventional procedure. Proper position of double-lumen tube(DLT) was determined by auscultation. Fiberoptic bronchoscope was made if needed. The fiberoptic bronchoscopy was repeated after lateral decubitus positioning of the patient. The depth of the tube inserted was recorded. Results The fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed that the incidence of malpositioning of the left-sided DLT was 68% and of right-sided DLT was 62% . The most common malposition was that the tube was placed too deep. The dislodgement of DLT in lateral decubitus positioning of the patient occurred in 24% patients and in most cases the DLT was moved upward. The depth of insertion did not correlate with the patient' s height. Conclusion Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is a reliable technique for correct positioning of DLT and should be used routinely.
