So far, there is no effective treatment for most of patients with sensorineural hearing loss. Many studies have shown that gene therapy has become more promising in terms of protecting the inner ear from these diseases. In recent years, inner ear gene therapy has become a research focus in the field of otology. It has not yet appeared a feasible technique for inner ear gene therapy in clinical application due to the particularity of the structure and function of inner ear. On the other hand, in order to avoid the adverse effects of carcinogenic and immunity caused by viral vectors, many scholars devote themselves to develop new gene vectors based on non-viral materials, such as liposomes, polymers and other nanomaterials. In recent years, many great progresses have been made in development and application of non-viral vectors, which showing an inspiring prospect. The research status, progress and prospects of non-viral vectors in inner ear gene therapy will be discussed in this review.

Objective To study whether hTR antisense PS ODN has anticancer effect and the effect of increasing the susceptibility of tumor to DDP, we explore the effect of hTR antisense oligodeoxynucleotide in combination with DDP on human gastric carcinoma transplanted subcutaneously in nude mice in vivo. Methods The model of human gastric carcinoma transplanted subcutaneously was established in thirty nude mice, then divided randomly into 5 groups (Control group, ASODN group, RODN group, DDP group and ASODN+DDP group). The weight of nude mice was measured, and the tumor growth inhibitory rate was calculated. The relative telomerase activity was quantitatively measured by TRAP PCR ELISA methods. Results The maximum tumor inhibitory rate in ASODN+DDP group, ASODN group, DDP group and RODN group was 94.2 %, 84.3 %, 92.8 % and 26.9 % respectively. There was significant difference in the relative telomerase activity among four treatment groups. Conclusions The results suggested that hTR antisense PS ODN may act as a specific tumor growth inhibitor and telomerase activity inhibitor may be in sequence specific manner, and have the effect of increasing the susceptibility of transplanted tumor to DDP.

High dose chemotherapy(HDC) with stem cell transplantion(SCT) has been used widely to treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(HHL).Its curative effect has been confirmed by many trials.But controversy still exists,such as application of HDC for various NHL subtypes,the optimum opportunity and method for transplantation.HDC has become standard therapy for recuring cases which are sensitive to chemotherapy and was a suitable consolidation therapy after remission for high-risk cases.Allogenic bone marrow marrow transplantation,only used for some special cases,need further study.

[Objective]To investigate results of surgical treatment of intradural tumors of the cervical spinal cord.[Method]Twenty-one cases with cervical intradural tumor were treated surgically under posterior approach from 1999 to 2005,all patients were performed cervical laminae resection before tumor resection,and some received internal fixation.All patients were followed up for 8 months to 38 months respectively.All the clinical materials were analyzed retrospectively.[Result]All patients survived the operation,symptoms disappeared 13,relieved 7 and deteriorated 1.Total resection in 15 cases,subtotal 4 cases and partial 2 cases.[Conclusion]To succeed the operation,it is very important to make clear the location and size of the tumor and the relationship between the tumor and spinal cord;in order to gain total resection of tumor,both careful protection of spinal cord and vertebral artery and intraspinal cannal veins are essence.

Objective To investigate the expression of 5-lipoxygenase activating protein gene (ALOX5AP) polymorphism in the patients with cerebral infarction,and explore its relationship with cerebral infarction susceptibility.Methods Patients with cerebral infarction and healthy volunteers were selected for this study,whose venous blood was extracted and detected with polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).Haplotype A (SG13S114T,SG13S89G,SG13S32A,SG13S25G),haplotype B (SG13S377A,SG13S114A,SG13S41A,SG13S35G),and their nucleotide polymorphism loci were observed.Results Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-SG13S114,SNP-SG13S32 and HapA carrying rate were significantly different between patients with cerebral infarction and healthy volunteers (P ＜0.05).SNP-SG13S114 and SNP-SG13S32 were independent risk factors of cerebral infarction (OR ＞ 1.0,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The morbidity of cerebral infarction in Wenling City was influenced by SNP-SG13S114,SNP-SG13S32,and HapA carrying rate.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of Xingding injection on glomeruloscerosis in rats treated with adriblastine.Methods Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into three groups.The rats in three groups were injected with normal saline(NS),NS associated with adriblastine,adriblastine associated with Xingding injection respectively.The content of protein in urine of 24 hours and total cholesterol(Chol),total protein(TP),albumin(Alb),creatinine(Cr) in serum were detected.Results In Xingding group,the contents of protein in urine of 24 hours and Cr in serum were significantly lower,and that of serum Alb was significantly higher compared with those of the control group(P

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy in the treatment of unilateral micrognath ia by using EAM medical resin and hydroxyapatite (EH) composite material combined with the CAD/ CAM technique.Methods From July 2011 to October 2015,12 cases of unilateral micrognathia caused by different reasons were treated,based on the representative traits and requirements,refering to the unsymmetric counter part by right of CAD/CAM technique.By the 3-dimensional design and reconstruction,we reformed the EH composite material into purposed shape,and insert it in the operative area.Results All the materials were closely suitable to the mandible surfaces.1 case failed because the wound was torn apart;the other 11 patients recovered more than 6 months and were satisfied with the external appearance.Conclusions The EH composite materials combined with CAD/ CAM techniques could be a potential characterized remedy for the unilateral micrognathia.

Objective:To study the change of bifrontal metabolite concentration in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and its relationship with substantia alba demyelination using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) combined with linear combination of model (LCModel) quantitative technique.Methods:From May 2016 to December 2018, 25 patients with MCI (group A; 12 males, 13 females, age (60.5±5.2) years) and 15 healthy control subjects (group B; 6 males, 9 females, age (59.5±3.5) years) in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College were prospectively enrolled. The MCI patients were classified into 2 subgroups according to MRI results: group A1 with substantia alba demyelination (7 males, 4 females, age (62.1±3.9) years) and group A2 without substantia alba demyelination (5 males, 9 females, age (59.2±5.8) years). Software LCModel was used to quantitatively analyze the MRS original data and measure the absolute concentration of N-acetylaspartate compound (NAA), creatine compound (Cr), choline-containing compound (Cho), myoinositol (mI) and ratios of NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr, mI/Cr, NAA/mI in bilateral frontal lobe. Independent-sample t test was used to analyze the inter-group differences of the above parameters, while Pearson correlation analysis was performed to analyze correlations between the above parameters and cognitive function scores. Results:Compared with group B, group A had higher mI of both left and right frontal lobes (left: (5.19±1.28) vs (4.32±0.83), right: (4.87±1.11) vs (3.85±0.98); t values: 2.34, 2.93, both P<0.05); the mI/Cr of right frontal lobe in group A was also higher (1.19±0.31 vs 0.98±0.25; t=2.21, P<0.05), while the NAA/mI of right frontal lobe was lower (1.37±0.34 vs 1.78±0.47; t=-3.16, P<0.01). Differences of other parameters between group A and group B, and those between group A1 and group A2 were not significantly different ( t values: -1.70 to 1.35, all P>0.05). The mI of right frontal lobe was negatively correlated with Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score( r values: -0.35, -0.38, both P<0.05), on the contrary, NAA/mI of right frontal lobe was positively correlated with the cognitive function scores ( r values: 0.43, 0.40, both P<0.05). Conclusion:MCI may be related to the loss or dysfunction of neurons in the right frontal lobe, and MRS can provide theoretical basis for early recognition of MCI to some extent.

Objectives: To clarify the diagnostic value of sTFR and its compound parameters sTFR/SF, sTFR/logSF in the differential diagnosis of IDA, ACD and CDID. Methods: Forty nine anemia patients were classified into IDA, ACD and CDID by clinical presentations and the laboratory results. The serum concentration of sTFR was detected by ELISA. The difference of sTFR, sTFR/SF, sTFR/logSF and routine parameters in the three groups and the correlation among sTFR and routine parameters were analyzed. Using ROC curve, the diagnostic value of these parameters in the differential diagnosis of the three diseases were compared. Results: The serum concentration of sTFR in the IDA, ACD and CDID were (50.8?8.2)nmol/L, (33.5?6.9)nmol/L and (22.7?9.9)nmol/L,respectively. The differences among three groups were significant( P
