Epilepsy is a common chronic nervous system disease, about one third of patients with intractable epilepsy, which brings a heavy burden to the society. At present, the specific etiology and drug-resistant mechanism are still unclear. Minimally invasive, reliable and economic biomarkers are of great help to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of drug-resistant epilepsy. In recent years, microRNA has gradually become a research hotspot of intractable epilepsy and is expected to become a biomarker. This paper briefly reviews the microRNA related to intractable epilepsy.

Objective: To probe into the relationship between integrin β1 expression in human cervical carcinoma HCE1 multicellular spheroids (HCE1/MCS) and their invasion into human umbilical vein endothelium cells (HUVEC), so as to assess the inhibitory effect of anti-integrin β1 monoclonal antibody P5D2 on the invasion of HCE1/MCS into HUVEC. Methods: A model of HUVEC monolayer invaded by HCE1/MCS was established (in brief, the HCE1 invading model). Morphology changes of the HCE1 invading model were observed under inverted microscope and analyzed by Motic Med System after P5D2 treatment. The expressions of β1 integrin on HCE1 monolayer cells, HCE1/MCS, HVUEC monolayer cells, and P5D2-treated HCE1 invading models were measured by immunocytochemistry SABC assay. Results: A HCE1 invading model was successfully established. The HCE1/MCS proliferated rapidly after culture, and on the 7th day the invading area of HCE1/MCS was 40.42 folds larger than the original HCE1/MCS. Invading areas of P5D2-treated HCE1/MCS were significantly smaller than that of the control group after 1, 4, 7 day (P<0.05, or P<0.01), with the invading area after 7 days reduced by (84.68±0.08) % compared with the control group. Integrin β1 expression in HCE1/MCS was significantly higher than that in HCE1 monolayer cells (P<0.01), and the expression was negative in HUVEC. Integrin β1 expression in P5D2-treated HCE1/MCS was significantly lower than that the in untreated HCE1/MCS (P<0.01). Conclusion: Upregulated expression of integrin β1 in HCE1/MCS and HCE1 invading model may be associated with their enhanced adhesion and invasion abilities. Anti-integrin β1 monoclonal antibody P5D2 can partially block the invasion of HCE1/MCS into HUVEC.

Adherence refers to the extent to which a patient′s behavior coincides with medical advice without missing a dose or overdosing and taking drugs at the right time. Good adherence could assure the effect of the therapy and reduce neoplasm metastasis and recurrence as well. In this article, status of oral chemotherapy adherence in cancer patients, impact factors and measurement tools had been reviewed. Adherence of oral chemotherapy in cancer patients and measurement tools of oral chemotherapy adherence needed further study. Besides, nursing should also focus on impact factors of the adherence of cancer patients during the oral chemotherapy, and take effective interventions to improve the adherence, so as to ensure the effect of chemotherapy, and improve the survival rate of cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of low-concentration lidocaine on the persistent sodium currents enhanced by hypoxia in isolated rat CA1 hippocampal neurons. Methods Brains were harvested from 10-14 day old SD rats of both sexes. Hippocampi were immediately isolated and cut into slices (400-500 ?m) which were incubated in artificial cerebral-spinal fluid (ACSF) at 31 ℃ for 1-1.5 h. CA1 regions were isolated and hippocampal neurons were prepared by enzymatical digestion. The experiment was performed in 7 groups ( n = 10 each): hypoxie control group (C) and lidocaine 1, 3, 6, 10, 20, 30 ?mol groups (L1-6). The isolated neurons were transferred to the recording chamber. The persistent sodium currents were recorded using whole-cell patch clamp technique first under normal condition. The normal perfusion solution was then replaced with hypoxie and glucose free perfusion solution within 20 seconds. The persistent sodium currents were recorded again after being perfused with hypoxie and glucose free solution with and without lidocaine. Results The persistent sodium current was greatly enhanced after 5 min hypoxia as compared to the baseline value before hypoxia. The persistent sodium current in group L1-6 was significantly lower than that in group C after 5 min hypoxia. The inhibitory effect of lidocaine on the persistent sodium current enhanced by hypoxia was dose-dependent. Conclusion Low concentration lidocaine can inhibit the persistent sodium current enhanced by hypoxia.

Objective: To explore the relationship between slow coronary lfow (SCF) and characteristics of coronary lumen condition in relevant patients.
Methods: We retrospectively summarized 2117 patients who received coronary angiography (CAG) in Weifang people’s hospital from 2012-08 to 2014-04 and 2 groups of patients were enrolled in our study. SCF group, according to TIMI frame count, the patients had coronary stenosis<50%, without coronary thrombosis, expansion and dissection,n=110. Control group, the patients had normal CAG at meanwhile,n=49. The diameters of left main (dLM), left anterior descending proximal section (dLADp) and middle section (dLADm), left circumlfex (dLCXp) and dLCXm, right coronary artery (dRCAp) and dRCAm were measured; the ratios of dLADp/dLADm, dLCXp/dLCXm, dRCAp/dRCAm were compared between 2 groups.
Results: The ratios of dLADp/dLADm, dLCXp/dLCXm, dRCAp/dRCAm were similar between 2 groups,P>0.05. Compared with Control group, SCF group had increased dLM, increased dLADp and dLADm, dLCXp and dLCXm, dRCAp and dRCAm, allP<0.05. Pearson correlation analysis showed that coronary TIMI frame counts were positively related to the diameters of distal and middle sections of each vessel, the correlation coefifcients in LAD were 0.036 and 0.204, in LCX were 0.368 and 0.183, in RCA were 0.253 and 0.209, allP<0.05. Left coronary TIMI frame count was positively related to the diameter of LM, the correlation coefifcient was 0.501,P<0.05.
Conclusion: Elevated coronary TIMI frame count was related to increased vessel diameter, the expended diameter of left and right coronary arteries may promote SCF development in relevant patients.

Objective: To study the 3D positional changes occurring to anchor molars of 37 patients treated with MBT appliance. Methods: Thirty seven patients who needed maximum upper molar anchorage were divided into two treatment groups at random, group Ⅰ was comprised of 19 patients whose anterior teeth were retracted en masse, and group Ⅱ included 18 patients whose anterior teeth were retracted by two step. All the patients were treated with MBT appliance and headgear. Dental casts recorded before and after treatment were analyzed by YM 2115 three dimensional digitizer and related software. The changes of anchor molar tip,torque and rotation were compared between the two groups. Results: During the treatment, average anterior movement of the upper first molars was 4.53 mm, average extrusion of the upper first molars was 1.53 mm; the crown of the upper first molar tipped forward (6?4)?,torque buccally (3?6)?,and mesiolingually rotated 3.15?; In en mass group, the crown of the upper first molar tipped more mesially than the two step group, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion:Almost all the upper first molars showed the tendency to rotate and tip mesially and torque bucally; there was no statistically significant difference between the two treatment groups when upper molar positional changes were concerned except for the mesial tip of the crown.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to explore the effect of the up-regulation of Notch1 on osteoclastogenesis induced to osteoclasts by receptor activator for nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factors (MCSF) in vitro.

METHODSThe bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) of Rosa(-notch1) mice were cultured and induced to osteoclasts by RANKL and MCSF. The BMSCs were transfected with the Ad-Cre-green fluorescent protein (GFP) virus or Ad-GFP virus. Total RNA from cells was extracted, and the gene expression levels of Notch1, Notch2, Notch3, Notch4, Deltal, Delta3, Delta4, Jagged1, Hes1, and tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) were detected at the defined stage by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Osteoclast formation was analyzed by TRAP assay.

RESULTSThe number of TRAP-positive multinuclear cells of the experimental group significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. The mRNA expression levels of Notch1, Notch3, Jagged1, Delta3, and Hesl of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group, whereas the TRAP mRNA expression of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONUp-regulation of Notch1 inhibit osteoclastogenesis of BMSCs induced by RANKL and MCSF in vitro.

Objective To evaluate the role of breast MRI in detecting the primary malignancy in patients presenting solely with axillary lymph node metastases. Methods Thirty-three patients with axillary lynph node metastases but negative findings on either physical examination or mammography underwent breast MRI to identify occult breast carcinoma. MRI of the breast was assessed according to BI-RADS criteria. The pathologic diagnosis was made according to the standard criteria by the WHO Classification of Tumor. Results Among 33 patients presenting solely with axillary metastases, 30 patients underwent modified radical mastectomy. Primary breast carcinoma was proven in 17 patients. MRI detected lesions in 16 patients, including 10 masses and 6 non-mass lesions. Size of the masses ranged from 0. 5 to 2. 6 cm (mean 1.5 cm). Six lesions were smaller than 1.5 cm in size. Non-mass lesions showed ductal enhancement in 4 cases and segmental enhancement in 2 cases. One patient with tumor detected by histopathology showed no abnormal enhancement on MRI. No tumor was found at mastectomy in the other 13 womeu, and negative MR findings were revealed in 9. Four cases with suspicious enhancement on MRI had no corresponding primary foci on pathology. Three patients didn't undergo surgical procedure. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of MRI in the diagnosis of the primary malignancy were 94. 1%,69. 2%, and 83.3%, respectively. Conclusions Small size of mass and ductal or segmental enhancement of non-mass lesion were common MR features of occult malignancy. MRI showed high sensitivity and accuracy in diagnosing occult breast carcinoma. Breast MRI should be taken in search of occult malignancy in patients with axillary metastases.
