Objective To investigate the effect of Dicer knockdown on the proliferation,migration and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma cell line TFK-1.Methods The study used liposome-mediated method to transfect Dicer-siRNA into TFK-1 cells.The mRNA and protein expressions of Dicer after transfection were detected by real-time PCR and western blot.CCK8 assay,scratch test and transwell assays were performed to analyze the influence on the proliferation,migration and invasion of cells,respectively.Results Compared with the control,Dicer mRNA level at 48 h and Dicer protein level at 96 h were both significantly reduced after transfection with Dicer-siRNA (P ＜ 0.01).CCK8 assay revealed that the absorbance value significantly increased at 72 h,96 h and 120 h after transfection (P ＜0.01).Scratch test and transwell assay showed that the migration ability and the number of invasive cells significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Dicer knockdown enhanced the proliferation,migration and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma cell line TFK-1.

At present, the assessment of the same hospital at the same time by different means may lead to different assessment results, viz. there may be a variety (inconsistency) of assessment results. This can be chiefly attributed to the variety of assessment systems, with different assessment indexes and assessment methods, and to the variety of people making the assessments and assessing environments. Integrated measures can be taken in order to render assessment results more accurate: ① refusing to have blind faith in any particular method; ② seeing clearly assessment goals and features; ③ properly selecting index systems for the assessment; ④ correctly fixing the weights for indexes; ⑤ appropriately selecting assessment methods; ⑥ making combined use of various methods; ⑦ pooling the results from different assessment methods.

Experimental studies and clinical practices have found that mild hypothermia has neuroprotective effects. However, its specific mechanism is unclear. Although its efficacy is questioned continuously, mild hypothermia technique is still widely used in the intracranial aneurysm surgery for reducing ischemic injury in recent years. Currently its safety, effectiveness and methods are the focus of studies. The article reviews the recent progress in this field.

Objective To assess the damage of secondary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis(sFSGS) in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Methods Clinical and pathological data on 182 patients with IgAN were analysed quantitatively ,who had pathological damage of sFSGS.The clinical data included gender,age,blood pressure,urine protein,serum creatinine (Scr),blood urea nitrogen (Bun),uric acid (UA),blood cholesterol (Ch),triglycerides (TG),serum total protein (TP),albumin (Alb) and creatinine clearance rate (Ccr).The data of pathology included quantitive integration in focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis,cellular proliferation,mesangial proliferation,crescent,inflammatory cell infiltration,interstitial fibrosis,tubule atrophy and angio-lesion.The multivariate over univariate statistical analyses had been done,finding the correlation among the factors.Results The most common clinical type of 182 patients' was asymtomatic urine abnormality(50.55%),then were hypertension with/no chronic renal function failure and mass proteinura/nephrotic syndrome.The quantitive value of urine protein,Scr,Bun and UA increased as exacerbation of sFSGS' degree.It showed that inflammatory cell infiltration,interstitial fibrosis,tubule atrophy and angio-lesion had intimate correlation with sFSGS(r_1=0.377,r_2=0.169,r_3=0.412,r_4=0.331,P

Objective To explore the effect of lipide on mice podcyte prolixferation in vitro culture.Methods MTT was used to dectect the change of the Podocyte Proliferation after the inducement of low-density-liportein(LDL)and oxide-LDL(OX-LDL).Results After 24 and 48 hours,the mice podocyte proliferation increased with the inducement of LDL,which the thickness from 6.25?g/ml to25?g/ml.And after 24 hours,the podocyte proliferation increased with the OX-LDL,which the thickness from 12.5?g/ml to 100?g/ml(compared with control,P

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of total glucosides of paeony(TGP) in the treatment of undifferentiated spondyloarthropathies(uSpA) and investigate its mechanism.Methods One hundred and sixteen cases of uSpA were randomly assigned to 2 groups,one group was treated with TGP and diclofenac sodium,the other group with SASP and diclofenac sodium.The efficacy and side effects of the two groups were compared after 12 weeks treatment.The level of IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-? was determined at the same time.Result After 12 weeks treatment,the major clinical manifest and the indexes of disease activity were no difference of statistical significance in the two groups.The incidence of parenterally side effects was 8.6% in TGP group,and 25.9% in SASP group.There was difference at statistical significance between the two groups(? 2 =6.042,P=0.014).Before treatment,the level of IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-? in the serum of two groups were no statistical difference,while there was obviously difference after 12 weeks treatment(t= 2.672,2.483 and 2.088,P=0.009,0.014 and 0.039).Conclusion The efficacy of TGP and SASP has no significant difference in the treatment of uSpA.But the incidence of parenterally side effects in the TGP group was less than SASP group.The mechanism of efficacy of TGP may be related to inhibiting the production of IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-?.

Objective To investigate the expression of NF-?B,TNF-?,ICAM-1 in rat's brain tissue and the sequential changes of serum IL-1?,IL-6,IL-10 after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion,and to observe the influence of the Shenxiong Injection.Methods Fifty-four male rats were randomly divided into control,Ligustrazin-treated and Shenxiong-treated group.Rats models of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)were made by using suture.Drew back sutures 1 hour after the blood supply were blocked.A series of brain and blood samples were obtained directly 6,12 and 24 hours respectively after reperfusion in three groups.The expression of NF-?B,TNF-? and ICAM-1 in the brain tissue was determined by immuno-histochemical method.Serum levels of IL-1?,IL-6 and IL-10 were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results As time of I/R prolonged,the expression of TNF-?,ICAM-1 upregulated,but NF-?B reached the maximum at R12 h in three groups.Compared with control group,expression of NF-?B,TNF-?,ICAM-1 in Shenxiong-treated group decreased significantly(P

Objective:To develop a scale used to measure smoking-related attitudes in Chinese secondary school students. Methods:Based on literatures published in China and abroad and suggestions by relevant specialists and teachers, we developed a self-administered scale with 16-item used to measure smoking-related attitudes in Chinese secondary school students. Factor analysis was used to assess the construct validity of the scale. The differences of the scores between trying smokers and non-smoker, and males and females were tested for assessing the discriminant validity of the scale. Cronbach's alpha for the total scale and the sub-scales was calculated for evaluating the internal consistency, and the split-half reliability test analysis was also conducted. Moreover, 112 subjects were re-investigated after two weeks of the first survey, and the difference and correlation of scores between the two surveys were tested for assessing the stability of the scale. Results: Factor analysis identified two potential components that could explain 46.2% of the total variance, and the first factor including 9 items was defined as "The opinions to tobacco and smoking-related behaviors", and the second one including 7 items was defined as "The opinions to measures for preventing and controlling smoking". The mean score of the scale in non-smokers was significantly higher than that of the trying smokers, while the mean score in females was significantly higher than that in males. The Cronbach'? coefficient was 0.87 for Factor One, 0.75 for Factor Two, and 0.86 for the general scale, and the coefficient of the split-half reliability was 0.71 for Factor One, 0.59 for Factor Two, and 0.72 for the general scale. By analyzing the data of 112 students who participated in both surveys, we obtained test-retest reliability of factorⅠas 0.72, of factor Ⅱ as 0.44 and of all items as 0.67, and all the correlation coefficients were statistically significant. There were no differences for the scores of the scale between the two surveys. Conclusion: The results indicated that the smoking-related attitude scale had reasonable validity and reliability,It could provide valuable reference for future similar surveys in China.
