The liver is the most common site of distant metastasis of colorectal cancer. In order to study colorectal cancer metastasis to the liver, establishing and choosing appropriate mouse model is crucially im-portant. In this review, we mainly discuss the mouse models of colorectal cancer and liver metastases: Tumor fragments or cancer cells orthotopic transplant to eoloncecal part, injecting cancer cells into the spleen, portal injection of cancer cells, colorectal cancer implantation to the subcapsular of the liver.

Objective: To explore the structure of coping styles in job-hunting of university students after first interview and study the relationship between coping styles and personality traits.Methods: 622 university graduates completed coping styles questionnaire and 238 of them completed QZPS-SF.Results: SPSS 10.0 was applied to analyze the structure of coping styles and the relationship between coping styles and personality traits.Conclusion: The study tends to support the bi-dimensional structure of coping styles and personality traits were the important determinants of two dimensions of coping styles.

Wound secretion from 20 patients with gaseous gangrene was collected for Gram staining,bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests.The results indicated that gaseous gangrene was caused by the co-infection of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.Gram-negative bacilli were slishtly more common than other aerobic bacteria in gageous gangrene wound,which was different from the findings of ordinary gaseous gangrene.

Objective To observe the change of intestinal microflora on the process of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH),and to explore the synbiotics therapeutic effect on NASH.Methods Rats were administrated with high fat diet to establish NASH model.In the process of NASH rats modeling,the level of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), fasting blood sugar (FBS) and fasting insulin (FINS) was dynamically tested by automatic biochemical analyzer.The change of main intestinal flora was detected by 16 S rRNA fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.NAFLD activity score was calculated.HE staining was used to observe the hepaticpathological changes and the TLR4 expression was detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunohistochemical method.Until the 4th,8th,10th weekin the process of NASH modeling, 10 rats were feeded with synbiotics for 2 weeks, and all of above indicators were tested and observed.Results 1)With the extension of a high-fat diet feeding time, the degree of hepatocyte steatosis obviously increased.NAFLD score was significantly heightened(P<0.01).2)Number of independent activities of rats significantly increased, the serological level of TG, TC, LDL, FBS and FINS were lower significantly after intervention with synbiotics for 2 weeks(P<0.05).3)Synbiotics intervention for two weeks significantly increased the amount of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus and decrease the amount of enterococcus significantly(P<0.05).4)The expression of TLR4 was gradually increased in the process of NASH rats modeling(P<0.05),but decreased after 2 weeks of the synbiotics-intervention (P<0.05).Conclusions Intestinal microecology change is closely related to the development of NASH,therefor, synbiotics could improve the quality of life and biochemical indicators of NASH rats through adjusting intestinal microecology and the expression level of TLR4 protein might been involved.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic values of CT and MRI by analysing the CT and MRI features of presacral tumor.Methods The CT and MRI imaging features of 37 cases of primary presacral tumor with surgical pathology were analyzed retrospectively,and the imaging findings were compared with the pathologic findings.All data were analyzed by Fishersχ2 test.Re-sults 9 cases of presacral tumors were cystic type,18 cases were solid type and 10 cases were cystic-solid type.90.3% (28/31)of benign tumors had round or oval shapes,83.3% (5/6)of malignant tumors were irregular form(χ2=16.093,P=0.001).The den-sity of lesions whether uniform or not,and the presence of enhancement showed no obvious statistical differences between benign and malignant lesions.In all 37 cases,28 cases of benign and 1 case of malignant tumor were found compressed the surrounding tissues and organs;4 cases of benign and 5 cases of malignant tumor invaded adjacent tissues and organs(χ2=13.547,P=0.002).Conclu-sion CT and MRI can differentiate benign and malignant tumor,and can make clear diagnosis in some cases.

Objective To analyze the effect of siRNA targeting MIF( MIFsiRNA) on the growth of colorectal cancer xenografts and the life quality of tumor-bearing mice.Methods BALB/C mouse model carring colorectal cancer was established.Thirty mice were divided into three groups randomly and managed respectively with intratumor injection of DEPC water, MIFsiRNA(0.15 nmol/g) and non-specific siRNA (0.15 nmol/g), respectively twice a week for consecutively 4 weeks.Drinking water, fodder consumed and body weight was recorded daily, and tumor volume was measured once a week.Mice were sacrificed after four weeks.ELISA and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of MIF in serum and in tumor tissues.Spectrophotometric detection was used to detect caspase-3 protein.TUNEL was used to detect apoptotic cells.Results MIF expression in serum in MIFsiRNA group was lower than the other two groups [(22 ± 6) ng/ml vs (32 ± 8) ng/ml and (33 ± 8) ng/ml, P ＜ 0.01]; MIF expression in tissues was less than the other two groups [(85 ± 20) /500 vs.(423 ± 23) /500 and (442 ± 31) /500, P ＜ 0.01]; Tumor was smaller than the other two groups at third and fourth week (P ＜ 0.01) ; Tumor weight was significantly less than the other two groups [(1.93 ±0.21) g vs (4.40 ±0.30) g and (5.25 ±0.44) g, P＜0.01]; Mice in MIFsiRNA group were healthier than the other two groups as judged by water and fodder consumption (P ＜ 0.01 ) , while weight change was not significantly different among the three groups ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Caspase-3 protein in tissues was higher than the other two groups [(0.74 ±0.06) μg vs (0.57 ±0.08) μg and (0.56 ±0.02) μg, P ＜0.01]; Apoptosis cells in tissues were higher than the other two groups [(12 ± 2)/ 100 个vs 0 and 0, P ＜ 0.01].Conclusions Knockdowning MIF gene expression inhibits the growth of colorectal cancer xenografts and improves life quality of tumor-bearing mice, possibly by a mechanism in which MIFsiRNA activates caspase-3 promoting cell apoptosis.

Objective The relationship was analyzed between clinic and the expression intensity of HBsAg and HBcAg with in the hepatic tissue from the serum HBeAg negative group and the positive group.Methods A total of 317 liver biopsy specimens were divided into the HBeAg negative group and the positive group,and the relationship was analyzed between the expression inten sity of HBsAg and HBcAg within the hepatic tissue and their age,gender,ALT level,serum HBV-DNA load,hepatic inflammatory activity grading and fibrosis staging in the two groups.Results Age,ALT level,hepatic inflammatory activity grading and fibrosis of the serum HBeAg negative patients were greater than those of the serum HBeAg positive patients,while their serum HBV-DNA load and the expression intensity of HBcAg within the hepatic tissue were lower than those of the serum HBeAg positive patients (P＜0.05).The expression intensity of HBsAg within the hepatic tissue between the serum HBeAg patients and the serum HBeAg positive patients was not significantly different,and it was not correlated with age,ALT level,hepatic inflammatory grading and fi brosis staging (P＞0.05).After the serum HBeAg turned negative,the expression intensity of HBcAg within the hepatic tissue was decreased (P=0.00,t=12 349.0),and it became positively correlated with the serum HBV DNA load(P=0.007,r=0.251) and its negative correlation with the hepatic inflammatory activity and fibrosis was weakened.Conclusion After the serum HBeAg turned negative,other antigenic components of HBV may still maintain the adequately active immune status within the hepatic tis sue of organisms.After the serum HBeAg turned negative,the expression intensity of HBcAg within the hepatic tissue was de creased and became positively correlated with the serum HBV DNA,while its negative correlation with the hepatic inflammatory activity grade and fibrosis stagings was weakened.

Objective To evaluate the clinical,microbiological and epidemiological characteristics of enterococcal bloodstream infections (BSIs).Methods Microbiological and clinical data were retrospectively collected and reviewed for the adult patients with enterococcal BSI who were treated in Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 1,2011 to November 30,2013. Results Of the 92 cases of enterococcal BSIs,21 were due to E.faecalis and 71 were caused by E.faecium,respectively.The BSI was hospital acquired in 67 cases.The other were community acquired BSI.E.faecalis BSIs were complicated with uremia (42.9%),heart disease (23.8%),pulmonary infection (19.0%)and central neurological disorder (19.0%),while E. faecium BSIs were complicated with hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases (40.8%),neoplastic disease(40.8%)and pulmonary infection (40.8%).Risk factors for E.faecium acquisition were mainly central venous catheter (73.2%),recent surgey within 30 days (62.0%),elderly patients (52.1%),ICU admission (32.4%)and invasive mechanical ventilation (26.8%).Strains of E.faecalis were 100% susceptible to ampicillin and vancomycin,90.4% to linezolid.Strains of E.faecium were 100%susceptible to linezolid,96.9% to vancomycin, and approximately 90% resistant to ampicillin and penicillin. Logistic with hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases had lower mortality rate than other patients.Conclusions E .faecium is responsible for majority of the enterococcal BSIs.E .faecium strains have higher resistance rate to most antimicrobial agents tested than E . fecalis .Elderly patients,ICU admission,invasive mechanical ventilation and neoplastic diseases are the independent risk factors of 15-day mortality.Adequate antimicrobial therapy within 48 hours can decrease the mortality rate effectively.

Many risk factors lead to hypohepatia and hepatic failure,causing people suffering from end-stage liver disease.The conventional treatment for end-stage liver disease is not good enough.Orthotopic liver transplantation is effective.However,the high cost,lack of liver source,immune rejection and other factors limit the large-scale clinical application.Thus,cell therapy is a good option.Studies on common cell sources for the treatment of liver disease and the induction of hepatocytes by embryonic stem cells or pluripotent stem cells have made progress.With the development of stem cell technology,cell transplantation has become a new option,which brings hope to people with end-stage liver diseasetransplantation has become a new option.It brings hope to people with endstage liver disease.

OBJECTIVETo study the therapeutic efficacy of bushui roumu recipe (BRR) combined medroxyprogesterone acetate tablet (MAT) in treating premature ovarian failure (POF).

METHODSTotally 90 POF patients of Shen deficiency Gan stagnation syndrome were assigned to 3 groups by random number table, 30 in each group. Patients in the treatment group were treated with BRR and MAT, those in the Chinese medicine group were treated with BRR, and those in the Western medicine group were treated with artificial period method. All patients were treated for 3 months. The menstrual improvement was observed before and after treatment. The therapeutic efficacy was assessed using modified Kupperman scoring standard. The serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2) were observed before and after treatment.

RESULTS(1) In aspect of the menstrual improvement: In the treatment group 20 patients had menstrual onset during the treatment course. Ten had normal menstruation after discontinued medication. Of them one got pregnancy one month after treatment. In the Chinese medicine group 6 patients had menstrual onset during the treatment course. Two had normal menstruation after discontinued medication. In the Western medicine group 26 patients had menstrual onset during the treatment course. Twelve had normal menstruation after discontinued medication. Better effects on the menstrual improvement were obtained in the treatment group than in the Chinese medicine group (P < 0.01), but with no statistical difference when compared with the Western medicine group (P > 0.05). (2) There was statistical difference in modified Kupperman scores of the 3 groups between before and after treatment (P < 0.01). The improvement of total modified Kupperman score was better in the treatment group than in the other two groups (P < 0.01). The improvement of palpitation was better in the treatment group than in the other two groups (P < 0.05). The improvement of tidal fever and sweat was better in the treatment group and the Chinese medicine group than in the Western medicine group (P < 0.05). (3) After treatment all patients' serum E2 was higher than before treatment, serum levels of FSH and LH were lower than before treatment. Compared pre- and post-treatment, there was statistical difference (P < 0.01). The serum E2 level in the 3 groups was higher after treatment than before treatment with statistical difference (P < 0.01). The levels of FSH and LH were lower in the 3 groups after treatment than before treatment with statistical difference (P < 0.01). The improvement of E2 was better in the treatment group than in the Chinese medicine group (P < 0.05). The improvement of FSH and LH was better in the treatment group than in the Western medicine group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONCombination of BRR and MAT could improve the clinical symptoms, menstruation, and serum reproductive hormones in POF patients of Shen deficiency Gan stagnation syndrome.
