Objective:To investigate the expression of miRNA-34b (miR-34b) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and its effect on proliferation and invasion of human NSCLC A549 cells in vitro.Methods:The specimens of cancer tissues and paracancerous normal epithelial tissues (more than 5 cm from the edge of the tumor) were collected from 40 NSCLC patients in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from June 2015 to March 2017. A549 cells were transfected with miR-34b mimics (experimental group) and irrelevant sequences (negative control group), respectively. The expression of miR-34b in tissues and each group of A549 cells was detected by reverse transcription real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The proliferation activity of A549 cells in the experimental group and the negative control group was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, and the invasion ability of A549 cells in the two groups was detected by Transwell assay.Results:The relative expression of miR-34b in NSCLC tissues was lower than that in paracancerous normal epithelial tissues (0.52±0.06 vs. 1.05±0.17), and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.001). The relative expression of miR-34b in A549 cells of the experimental group was higher than that in the negative control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). MTT assay showed that the cell proliferation ability (absorbance value) of A549 cells in the experimental group was lower than that in the negative control group after cultured for 24 and 48 hours (both P < 0.01). Transwell assay showed that the number of invaded A549 cells in the experimental group was less than that in the negative control group [(49.53±5.03) cells vs. (121.00±12.06) cells, P < 0.01]. Conclusions:The expression of miR-34b is low in NSCLC tissues, and the up-regulation of miR-34b expression can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of NSCLC A549 cells.

【Objective】 To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Perioperative Transfusion Trigger Score (POTTS) in guiding surgical patients blood transfusion intraoperatively and postoperatively. 【Methods】 A total of 900 patients(perioperative Hb 60~100 g/L) from December 2017 to March 2021 were collected, including 251 males and 649 females, with ASA grading Ⅰ~Ⅳ, and randomly divided into experimental group and controls. In the experimental group, the allogeneic RBC transfusion trigger(Hb threshold) and transfusion units in anemia patients was determined by POTTS. While those in the controls were decided by physicians according to current guidelines concerning transfusion. The proportion and units of allogeneic RBC transfusion, the incidence of postoperative complications, the mortality of hospitalization and discharge for 4 weeks, Hb value, healing of surgical incision, ICU admission rate and ICU length of stay, length of hospitalization, etc were recorded. 【Results】 The proportion of allogeneic RBC transfusion in the experimental group(35.3%)were less than the controls(42.2%)(P<0.05). The units of allogeneic RBC transfused, incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in hospital and 4 weeks after surgery, healing of surgical incision (grade A/ grade B/ grade C), the Hb level 24 h after surgery and at discharge, the ICU admission rate and ICU length of stay, length of hospitalization were not significantly different between the groups. 【Conclusion】 The peri-operative allogeneic red blood cells transfusion guided by POTTS can reduce the proportion of allogeneic RBC transfusion, and is safe and effective.

The paper is a systematic review on the efficacy of acupuncture manipulation on primary dysmenorrhea. Ten medical literatures database at home and abroad were retrieved, including CNKI, VIP, CBM, WANFANG, MEDLINE, Cochrane, CENTRAL, CINAHL PLUS, EMBASE, AMED and PsycINFO, as well as 6 clinical trial registration platforms. All of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on primary dysmenorrhea treated with different acupuncture manipulations were collected. The data were extracted by two persons. Finally, RevMa 5.3 software was used for statistical analysis. Totally, 5 148 pieces of literature were retrieved and 8 pieces on RCTs were screened with 644 cases included. According to the results of statistical analysis on the total effective rate and other indicators of pain degree, it was showed that the effects of the manipulation with filiform needle, deep puncture with strong stimulation, and specific reinforcing and reducing needling technique were better than those without manipulation applied or with shallow puncture and weak stimulation and even needling technique in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea. It is believed initially that acupuncture manipulation contributes to the improvement of the therapeutic effects of primary dysmenorrheal, but much higher quality studies are required for the further confirmation. Protocol registration number:PROSPERO:CRD42016038515.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effects of needling depth on clinical efficacy of lumbar disc herniation (LDH).
METHODSTen electronic databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Wanfang Database, MEDLINE, CENTRAL, CINAHL PLUS, AMED, Embase, PsycINFO, and 6 registry platforms of clinical trials were searched. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the effect of needling depth on clinical efficacy of LDH were collected; in addition, the reference lists of the studies included were hand searched. Data were extracted independently by two reviewers. RevMan 5.3 was applied to carry out statistical analysis.
RESULTSTotally 8 716 articles were retrieved, and 10 RCTs were included after screening, involving 1 116 patients. The results showed the effects of deep acupuncture onrelievingpain, reducing the Oswestry disability index (ODI), improving total effective rate and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) were superior to those of shallow acupuncture in patients with LDH.
CONCLUSIONIt is preliminarily indicated that deep acupuncture is helpful to improve the therapeutic effect of LDH; however, due to the low research quality and small sample size, the evidence is insufficient, and more high-quality researches are needed to further confirm the results.

OBJECTIVEThe research regarding the central mechanism of acupuncture (arrival of ) based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in recent 10 years was analyzed to summarize existing research achievements and experience.
METHODSThe literature regarding fMRI-based research published from January of 2007 through December of 2016 in CNKI and PubMed databases was collected. The research content and methods, including research design, inclusion criteria, acupoint selection and evaluation, were analyzed.
RESULTSTotally 18 articles regarding the central mechanism of acupuncture based on fMRI was included. According to research content, the literature was divided into two categories: research and sensation research. In research, the differences of and not on brain functional activity were compared to summarize the central response pattern of ; in sensation research, the differences of different sensations and intensities of on central response were compared to explore the effects of different sensations and intensities of on brain functional activity. In recent 10 years, the number of research gradually increased, and the type of design was various, mainly RCT and paired design. The majority of participants was healthy people, and single acupoint was the focus of researches, including Zusanli (ST 36), Waiguan (TE 5), Hegu (LI 4), etc. The evaluation of was based on visual analogue scale (VAS). The research contents were mainly the effects of and not and different sensations on brain function activities. The present studies confirmed that and not as well as different sensations had different impacts on brain functional effects, and different acupoints had specific activated brain areas. There was a positive correlation between the degree of and the intensity of the activation of brain regions. Furthermore, tingling sensation was not included to sensations.
CONCLUSIONThe number and quality of fMRI-based research need to be improved; the research content is simple, and research method is in exploratory stage. The results obtained in the literature are the phenomena of in the central level, and it is imperative to summarize the essential link between and the central effect through these phenomena to reveal the mechanism of . The specific impact of for brain function needs more clinical exploration.
