Objective:To study the influence of Wnt5a gene silence on the proliferation,migration and invasion of lung squamous carcinoma cells.Methods:A recombinant plasmid pHI-siRNA~(Wnt5a-)was constructed and used to deliver small interference RNA (siRNA)targeting Wnt5a in SK-MES-1 cells;the transfected cells were screened to establish a stable transgenic cell line.MTT,cell cycle and Transwell assays were employed to evaluate the effect of Wnt5a gene silence on the proliferation,migration and invasion of lung squamous carcinoma cells.Results:Western blotting assay revealed that Wnt5a was lowly expressed in SK-MES-1~(Wnt5a-)(13.6%).The proliferation index(PI)of transgenic cell line was slightly lower than that of the control cell line([28.3?3.8]% vs[30.5?5.2]%). The migration and invasion capabilities of SK-MES-1~(Wnt5a-)cells were(47.3?9.2)% and(39.7?11.7)% of the control cells, respectively.Conclusion:Low Wnt5a expression can significantly inhibit the migration and invasion capabilities of SK-MES-1 cells, indicating that Wnt5a might be a potential target for gene therapy of lung squamous carcinoma.

Objective To isolate and identify the causative agent in an incident with crowd fever of adults in Henan province.Methods The cells was inoculated by the throat swabs of the patients and followed by neutralization assay and other molecular methods.Then indirect immunofluorescence assay was performed to detect the specific IgM/IgG antibodies against virus in the serum of the patients.Results We have isolated 2 strain adenoviruses from 10 swab samples,which were both identified as Ad11 by sequence analysis and neutralization test.6 of 10 samples were positive fer IgM specific for adenovirus and 3 positive for IgG.The remaining sample was negative for both.Conclusion The causative agent in this incident with crowd fever of adults was Ad11 in group B.

Hippo signaling pathway plays an important role in the regulation of organ growth,tissue regeneration,tumor occurrence and development.Transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ)is the downstream transcription factor of Hippo signaling,participates in the regulation of the entire signaling path-way.In recent years,many studies have found that over-expression of TAZ has a close relationship with the oc-currence,development and prognosis of breast cancer.Discussing the relationship of Hippo-TAZ with breast cancer and breast cancer stem cells may provide a new way for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To explore the chnical manifestation,pathological features and characteristics of lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH),so as to raise awareness.Methods Sixty-nine cases of LCH were studied by routine histopathologic and immunohistochemical examinations.Results The age range of the 69 patients including 34 males and 35 females with LCH was 4-80 years,with an average age of 42 years.The lesions of 50 cases were located in head and neck region,and the other 19 cases were in other parts of the body,with 1 case in the left main bronchus and intracalvarium.The average diameter of the tumors was about 1 cm,and parts of the tumors showed polypoid masses.Most of the tumors were in the skin and mucosa.Granulomatous lesions showed the proliferation of thin-walled and thick-walled capillaries in a lobular pattern.The vascular interstitium was edematous and was infiltrated by the inflammatory cells.Immunohistochemical examination showed CD34 positive in the endothelial cells and smooth muscle actin positive in the peri-vascular spindle cells.Conclusions Studies of LCH show the obvious features on age,gender and diseased location,and very few have a relapse.Its pathogenesis is still unclear.LCH is rarely found in the trachea,and is more rarely in the central nervous system.So far,there is no case report to show LCH occurs both in the bronchus and intracalvarium.In the special case,the early lesion is found in the left main bronchus.Although the patient is treated,LCH still recurs for many times in a short period.Finally the tumor is also found in the intracalvarium.Therefore,it's critical to alert whether LCH also occurs in the important organs at the early stage.Complete surgical resection and / or adjuvant radiotherapy can avoid delaying the treatment and the subsequent serious outcomes.

Objective To investigate choroid thickness at horizontal meridian with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and compare the choroid thickness difference between first visit myopia children with those children who wear orthokeratology lens for more than 1 year.Methods This retrospective study enrolled 68 myopia children with low to moderate myopia (-1.00--6.00 D) who visited our hospital and took choroid images by OCT.The total subjects were divided into 2 groups.The subjects of 34 children in group 1 visited for myopia initially and wear spectacles.The other one group wear orthokeratology lens more than 1 year.Only the data of right eye were analyzed.Scans through the fovea at horizontal meridian were acquired with OCT.Choroid images were detected by custom software with 500 μm intervals up to 3.5 mm around fovea.Choroid thickness (CT) was calc~ated based on the average of the 7 zones.Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate choroid thickness at each zone.ANOVA was used to compare choroid thickness differences between various zones in each group.Paired t test was used to compare choroid thickness difference at the same zone between two groups.Results The mean age of OK lens group was (12.3 ± 1.8) years old,and the spectacles group was (11.8 ± 1.4) years old,there was no statistical difference.From temple to nasal choroid,the mean CT of the orthokeratology lens group were (296.7 ± 61.8) μm (T3),(290.7 ± 58.9) μm (T2),(285.7 ± 57.4) μm (T1),(278.5 ±57.7) μm (M),(262.2 ±57.9) μm (N1),(239.8 ±59.7) μm (N2),(214.7 ±59.0) μm (N3);And the mean CT of the spectacles group were (294.2 ± 45.4) μm (T3),(292.0±44.0) μm (T2),(283.6 ±45.5) μm (T1),(272.0 ±51.6) μm (M),(255.2 ± 56.3) μm (N1),(236.5 ±58.1)μm (N2),(212.8 ±57.7) μm (N3),respectively.The thicknesses were significantly thicker in temple zones than that in nasal zones in each group (all P ＜ 0.05),but the CT was not significantly different between the two groups in each zone (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The choroid thickness has regional deference in myopia children,the thickest is in the temple and the thinnest in the nasal region.There is no significant difference between the children who initially corrected by spectacles and those who wear OK lens more than 1 year.

Objective: To establish a multiplex PCR-microarray method for detecting important enteropahogens.Methods: Uniplex and multiplex PCR were performed to obtain the best primer sets for identifying the target bacteria at species and multi-species level.Fluorescent dyes were mixed into PCR reaction to determine whether it can affect the efficiency of amplification.To improve the efficiency of microarray,a 35 pairs primer-labeling system was optimized based on the hybridization results to find the best combination to avoid false negative results.Results: Specific PCR products were all obtained using species-specific primer sets.More preferential amplification may happen when more primer pairs were added to the reaction.The hybridization results showed a positive association between the efficiency of multiplex-PCR and signal intensity.Conventional PCR yielded more products than fluorescent dyes labeled PCR.Thirty-five primers were divided into three different combinations to label target respectively,hybridization results showed a high specificity.Conclusion: Mixing fluorescent dyes into PCR may reduce the efficiency of amplification and hybridization,but may have no effect on the analysis of hybridization results.The hybridization efficiency of microarray depends on the amplification efficiency of multiplex PCR.For microarray target labeling,three primer sets could be used to avoid negative hybridization led by preferential amplification of multiplex-PCR.It indicates that the multiplex PCR-microarray method is an attractive diagnosis tool for the high-throughput identification of enteropathogenic organisms especially for multiple causative agents and epidemiological investigations.

The feasibility of simultaneously loading both liposoluble and water-soluble components of Salvia miltiorrhiza in emulsion was discussed, in order to provide new ideas in comprehensive application of effective components in S. miltiorrhiza in terms of technology of pharmaceutics. With tanshinone II (A) and salvianolic acid B as raw materials, soybean phospholipid and poloxamer 188 as emulsifiers, and glycerin as isoosmotic regulator, the central composite design-response surface method was employed to optimize the prescription. The coarse emulsion was prepared with the high-speed shearing method and then homogenized in the high pressure homogenizer. The biphasic drug-loading intravenous emulsion was prepared to investigate its pharmaceutical properties and stability. The prepared emulsion is orange-yellow, with the average diameter of 241 nm and Zeta potential of -35.3 mV. Specifically, the drug loading capacity of tanshinone II (A) and salvianolic acid B were 0.5 g x L(-1) and 1 g x L(-1), respectively, with a good stability among long-term retention samples. According to the results, the prepared emulsion could load liposoluble tanshinone II (A) and water-soluble salvianolic acid B simultaneously, which lays a pharmaceutical foundation for giving full play to the efficacy of S. miltiorrhiza.
