Endothelial injury or dysfunction leads to multiple cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, hypertension and peripheral vascular disease. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are precursor cells of endothelial cells, including the early endothelial progenitor cells and the late endothelial progenitor cells. hTese two EPC types have different function and surface markers. EPC in this article mainly means late endothelial progenitors which could grow into endothelial cloning and form vessels in vivo. Late EPCs can express CD133, CD31, KDR, CD144, CD34 etc, take in low density lipoprotein, bind with ulex europaeus lectin 1 and form blood vessels in vitro and in vivo. EPCs not only participate in new blood vessels formation, but also are closely related to the repair of damaged endothelium. Many studies conifrm that the transplanted EPCs are able to be mobilized to vascular injury location and repair the damaged endothelial cells thus promote new blood vessel formation, which provides a promising strategy for the treatment ofcardiovascular diseases and ischemic diseases.

Objective To study the effects of Hrs on apoptosis and cell proliferation in colon cancer cell lines HCT?116 and SW?480. Methods The expression of Hrs in HCT?116 and SW?480 was knocking down by shRNA. Cell apoptosis was detected by FACS and cell proliferation was de?termined by MTT,incucyte and soft agar. Results The apoptosis was significantly increased after Hrs knocking down in both HCT?116 and SW?480,and the cell proliferation was inhibited. Conclusion Hrs is involved in the apoptosis and proliferation of colon cancer cells.

Circular RNA ( circRNA) , a novel type of endogenous non-coding RNA ( ncRNA) , has been broadly taken into account during recent years as a research hot-spot.Unlike linear RNA, circRNA form covalently closed loop structure by jointing 3′and 5′ends together via exon circularization or intron circularization.Through which way it is more stable and conserved than linear RNA.Besides, circRNAs are abundant and multiple existences in creatures have been revealed.Nowadays, an increasing number of researchers have found that circRNA plays an essential role in the regulation of gene expression, which has broadened the view of di-verse endogenous noncoding RNA, and therefore hints that circRNA has great potential in clinical diagnosis and treatment of disease. In this paper, we make an overview of the latest research about circRNAs from the aspects of generation, character, function, and the relationship with diseases, and so on.

Objective To investigate the effect of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) combined with recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (rb-bFGF) in the treatment of oral ulcer caused by chemotherapy.Methods 108 patients of oral ulcer caused by chemotherapy were randomly divided into two groups.54 cases in the control group were treated with cydiodine buccal tablets at first,then received the aerosol treatment which was prepared by mixing gentamicin,dexamethasone,2 ％ lidocaine and physiologic saline,three times per day.54 cases in the treatment group firstly received the gargle which was prepared by mixing rhGM-CSF,dexamethasone and physiologic saline,then were treated with rb-bFGF by spraying on the oral ulcer surface,three times per day.Results The effective rate of the treatment group was 96.30 ％ (52/54),which was significantly higher than that of the control group [64.81％ (35/54)],there was a significant difference between the two groups (x2 =17.08,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The effect of rhGM-CSF combined with rb-bFGF in the treatment of oral ulcer caused by chemotherapy is very significant.

Objective To study application effectiveness of different concentrations of chlorhexidine oral care solu-tion in patients with orotracheal intubation.Methods A total of 120 patients who were admitted to the general in-tensive care unit (ICU)of a hospital and undergoing mechanical ventilation via orotracheal intubation for >48 hours between January 2012 and December 2013 were included in the study,they were divided randomly into three groups,40 in each group.Trial group,control group I,and control group II were provided with 2%,0.2%,and 0.12% chlorhexidine oral care solution,respectively.Differences in halitosis,oral mucosal infection,onset time and incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP ) among three groups were observed and compared. Results There were significant difference in incidence of VAP and early-onset VAP between trial group and control group I,trial group and control group II,respectively(both P <0.05 );incidence of VAP in control group II was higher than trial group(47.50% vs 20.00%,P =0.009).Conclusion 2% chlorhexidine oral rinsing and swabbing can effectively reduce incidence of VAP in patients with orotracheal intubation.

OBJECTIVEThe objective of this paper was to study the expression of related protein and Twist transcription factor of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tissue and the correlations of OSCC and oral squamous cell carcino-metastasis. The paper also investigated the clinical significance of expression on OSCC.

METHODSThe labels of epithelium materialization (E-cadherin and cytokeratin), stromal labels (N-cadherin), transcription factor Twist protein, and mRNA expression in 30 OSCC tissues were investigated via immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. The paper also conducted contrast analysis with clinicopathology.

RESULTSImmunization result showed that the expressions of Twist and N-cadherin in the OSCC group were more significant than those of the normal group (P<0.05). The expressions of E-cadherin and keratin in OSCC were significantly lower than those of the normal group (P<0.05). In the moderate- and low-differentiated group of OSCC, the expressions of Twist and N-cadherin were higher than those of the high-differentiated group (P<0.05). The expressions of E-cadherin and keratin were lower than those in the high-differentiated group (P<0.05). In the lymphatic metastasis group, the expressions of Twist and N-cadherin were higher than those of no-lymphatic metastasis group (P<0.05). The expressions of E-cadherin and keratin were lower than those of the no-lymphatic metastasis group (P< 0.05). Results of in situ hybridization showed that the expression of Twist mRNA in the moderate- and low-differentiated groups of OSCC, T3, and T4 groups as well as that of the lymphatic metastasis group were higher than those of the high-differentiated, T1 and T2 groups, and no-separate lymphatic metastasis group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONEpithelium materialization exists in OSCC tissue. Twist can enhance the invasiveness of tumor cell and promote the infiltration and metastasis of OSCC. The combined detection of Twist, E-cadherin, and N-cadherin expressions can effectively predict and estimate OSCC metastasis.

Objective To evaluate the effects of percutaneous transhepatic variceal obliteration in the treatment of acute bleeding from gastroesophageal varices in patients with severe cirrhosis.Methods 19 patients with Child C cirrhosis suffered from active bleeding from gastroesphageal varices. Emergency procechures of percutaneous transhepatic variceal obliteration were performed in all 19 patients. Results Successful catheterization and obliteration of the varices in all of the 19 cases. Active bleeding were controlled in 18 cases with only one failure and TIPSS was performed. During a follow up peroiod ranging from one to 12 months, 14 cases bled recurrently during 3 to 12 months. 15 cases died within the follow up period. 4 cases were alive. Severe complication of intraperitoneal bleeding occurred in 1 case, and laparotomy was performed. Conclusions Percutaneous transhepatic variceal obliteration is effective in controlling acute bleeding from gastroesophageal varices in patients with Child C cirrhosis. It could be used as the first choice treatment method for emergency when TIPSS is contraindicated.
