For a long period of time, silk fibroin has been applied in biomedical areas. Along with the development of biotechnology, new functions of silk fibroin are being found and developed. From the suture of surgery to the therapeutic drug and the ordinary tissue engineering frame to high grade frame with drug buffer system, exploitation of silk fibroin is constantly introduced with something new from the old ones. In our review, we summarize the applications of silk fibroin in tissue engineering, drug buffer system and medical care.

Objective To investigate the differences of miRNA-21 and miRNA-146a expression between colorectal neoplasms tissues and serum of the patients with colorectal neoplasm,and the clinical significance was analyzed.Methods The endoscopic biopsy tissues and serum samples of 100 colorectal cancer (CRC),80 colorectal adenoma (CRA)patients and 65 healthy controls were collected.The expressions of miRNA-21 and miRNA-146a were detected by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction.The relationship between the expression and clinicopathological features were analyzed.And then,the diagnostic value of expression difference of serum miRNA in colorectal neoplasm were evaluated. The Mann-WhitneyU test and Kruskal-Wallis test were performed for comparisons between groups,and the correlation of miRNA expression between tissues and serum was analyzed by Spearman test.Results
The expressions of miRNA-21 in the tissues of CRC and CRA were 8.573 ±0.898 and 7.746 ±1 .183, respectively,which were significantly higher than that of healthy controls 6.160 ±0.835 (U =120.129 and 33.230,both P <0.01).The expressions of miRNA-21 in the serum of CRC and CRA were 1 .829± 0.303 and 1 .624 ±0.226,respeotively,which were higher than that of healthy controls 1 .391 ±0.221 (U =40.353 and 15 .512,both P < 0.01 ).The expression of miRNA-21 in the serum and tissues of patients with CRC were both higher than those of patients with CRA (U =11 .384 and 10.189,both P <0.01).The expression of miRNA-21 in patients with CRC was associated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis.The expression level of miRNA-21 in CRA was correlated with histological types.The results of Spearman analysis indicated that the expression of miRNA-21 in the tissues and serum of patients with CRC was positively correlated (r=0.459,P <0.01).The expression of miRNA-146a in the tissues and serum of CRC patients were 2.556±0.351 and 0.249±0.038,respectively,which were lower than those of healthy controls (3.428 ±0.328 and 0.279 ±0.053)(U =102.134 and 30.111 ,both P <0.01).The expression in the tissues and serum of CRA patients were 3.255 ±0.332 and 0.290±0.036, respectively,which were also lower than those of healthy controls,however the difference was not statistically significant (U = 3.936 and 3.180,both P > 0.05 ).The expression of miRNA-146a in the tissues and serum of CRC patients were both lower than those of CRA patients (U =73.809 and 21 .123, both P <0.01).The degree of decreased expression of miRNA-146a in CRC patients was correlated with TNM staging and tumor differentiation degree,however there was no correlation between the expression in CRA and clinical features.According to receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve analysis,the AUC of miRNA-21 ,miRNA-146a and a combination of them in CRC and health individuals was 0.889, 0.791 and 0.863,respectively;in CRA and health individuals was 0.784,0.692 and 0.761 ,respectively;in CRC and CRA was 0.705 ,0.820 and 0.713,respectively.Conclusion The different expressions of miRNA-21 and miRNA-146a had potential values in early detection of colorectal cancer.
