Objective To construct an eukaryotic vector expressing short hairpin RNA(shRNA) of HIF-1α,and to observe its effects on location and metastasis of HeLa cells under hypoxic condition.Methods shRNA templates was developed based on HIF-1α gene sequence and then cloned into pSilencer2.1-U6-neo vector.The resultant plasmid was transfected into HeLa cells with Lipofectamine 2000.The cells were incubated in hypoxic condition.The HIF-1α protein and mRNA were detected by Western blot and RT-PCR.The colony formation assay and Transwell cabin assay were performed to measure the colony formation and metastasis.Results The plasmid pSilencer2.1-U6-neo-HIF-1α was successfully constructed and transfected into HeLa cells.The expression of HIF-1α in HeLa cells decreased,and the number of colony formation in soft agar and cells penetrating matrigel also decreased under hypoxic condition.Conclusion The shRNA expressing plasmid targeting at HIF-1α may suppress the location and metastasis of cervical carcinoma cells under hypoxic condition.

Objective To study the expression of CD44V6 in human epidermal tumours and malignant melanoma. Methods The expression of CD44V6 was detected by an immunohistochemical technique in squamous cell carcinoma(SCC), basal cell carcinoma(BCC) and malignant melanoma(MM). Results CD44V6 was expressed on the membrane of tumour cells of 10 patients with SCC, and there was downregulation of CD44V6 expression which along with the decrease of differentiation of SCC tumour cells. Tumour cells of 8 patients with MM and 10 patients with BCC did not express CD44V6. Conclusion Our findings suggest that CD44V6 expression is correlated with the types of skin tumours.

Objective To analyze the level of satisfaction and its influencing factors in emergency patients, and to improve the satisfaction level of emergency patients. Methods The patients who visited the emergency department with the triage number ended with 1 from August 1 to August 15, 2015 in Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine were selected by the method of convenience and equidistant sampling, to take the Press Ganey′s Patient Satisfaction Questionnaires which were collected and analyzed at the end of the patient's emergency treatment. Results A total of 200 cases were investigated. Patient experience overall satisfaction was (91.64 ± 8.74) points. There were no significant differences in satisfaction between the gender, age, place of residence, the investigator, the clinic department, the time to wait, whether the first visit and the previous stay in hospital (P>0.05). The correlation between the satisfaction score and the patient's education, prognosis was less (r=-0.251,0.262, P =0.009,0.018) , but more higher correlated with the service attitude of ancillary hospital staff, nursing staff in the provision of nursing instructions, nursing staff can protect the privacy, the waiting time of the triage and the doctor′s explanation of the treatment of the disease (r=0.79-0.84, P<0.05). Conclusions The service attitude of the ancillary hospital staff, nursing staff in the provision of care instructions and privacy protection, and the waiting time of the triage and the doctor′s explanation of the treatment are the most important factors influencing the patients′ satisfaction in emergency department which also will be the key content for us to improve the patients′experience and satisfaction inemergency patients.

Objective To study the FDG SUVmax cutoff values in detection of metastases in mediastinal lymph nodes (MLN) and hilar/intralobar lymph nodes (HILN) in pre-operative patients with N0-2 stage NSCLC.Methods A total of 69 patients with stage N0-2 NSCLC (40 males,29 females,age 36-87 years) were included in this retrospective study.18F-FDG PET/CT was performed and followed by lung cancer resection with lymph node dissection in 1 month.The excised lymph nodes were compared one by one between their SUVmax and histopathology.The SUVmax cutoff value in detection of lymph node metastases was determined by the ROC curve.Mann-Whitney u test,x2 test,and Fisher exact test were used for data analysis.Results Metastatic MLN and (or) HILN were found in 21 of 69 NSCLC patients.The histopathologic results demonstrated metastases in 61 of 339 lymph nodes.The SUVmax of metastatic lymph nodes (4.95(3.46,7.19)) was significantly higher than that of benign lymph nodes (2.10(1.59,3.22);z=-7.576,P<0.05).The SUVmax of metastatic HILN (6.32 (4.28,8.27)) was significantly higher than that of metastatic MLN (3.90(2.12,6.41);z=-2.921,P<0.05).With cutoff of SUVmax ≥2.5,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy in detection of all metastatic lymph nodes were 83.6% (51/61),61.9% (172/278)and 65.8% (223/339) respectively,and the parameters were 74.2% (23/31),79.6% (160/201) and 78.9% (183/232) for metastatic MLN,and 93.3% (28/30),15.6% (12/77) and 37.4% (40/107) for metastatic HILN.The diagnostic sensitivities for metastatic MLN and for metastatic HILN were not significantly different (Fisher exact test,P>0.05),while the specificities and accuracies between the two groups were significantly different (x2 values:96.7 and 56.1,both P<0.05).According to ROC curves,cutoff values of SUVmax in detecting metastatic MLN and metastatic HILN were 2.78 and 4.93.With the specific cutoff value,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy in detection of metastatic MLN were 71.0% (22/31),87.1% (175/201)and 84.9%(197/232),respectively.The corresponding data in detection of metastatic HILN were 73.3% (22/30),77.9%(60/77) and 76.6%(82/107).Conclusion Different cutoff values of SUVmax in detecting metastatic MLN and metastatic HILN should be considered for more accurate lymph nodes staging in patients with NSCLC.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of using low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) along with donepezil in the rehabilitation of aphasia after cerebral infarction. Methods Fortythree aphasic patients with acute cerebral infarction were assigned into a treatment group or a control group.Both groups received standard basic treatment for acute cerebral infarction.From day 7 on,both groups received oral donepezil hydrochloride (5 mg/d) for 12 consecutive weeks.The treatment group received in addition 2 sessions of low frequency rTMS on the language center of the right hemisphere.The first session started at day 7 after onset,and each session consisted of rTMS on 10 consecutive days (once per day).There was a resting interval of 3 d between the two sessions.The rehabilitation of the aphasia was assessed prior to and after each session,and at the end of the entire 12 weeks of treatment using the western aphasia battery ( WAB ) scoring system and the aphasia quotient (AQ). Results There was no significant difference between the two groups after the first session in terms of the WAB or AQ results.However,the difference in improvement became statistically significant after the second session,as well as at the end of the entire 12 weeks.The average change in AQ was significantly greater in the treatment group. Conclusion Donepezil combined with rTMS early in the acute phase of cerebral infarction is helpful for the rehabilitation of aphasia.
