China Oncology 2014;(7):507-511
Background and purpose: MicroRNA(miRNA) is a class of small non-coding RNA playing an important regulatory role in many diseases. In this study, we explore the levels of miR-192 and zinc ifnger E-box binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2) in CRC, the clinical signiifcance of miR-192 and the correlation between the expression of miR-192 and ZEB2 protein. Methods: The expression levels of miR-192 and ZEB2 mRNA in 30 colorectal carcinoma samples, 30 corresponding cancer-adjacent tissue samples (from the edge of tumor≥5 cm), 25 colorectal adenoma samples, and 15 normal tissue samples were quantiifed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). ZEB2 protein expression was determined using Western blot. The relationship between the miR-192 and clinicopathological factors, miR-192 and ZEB2 protein expression was analyzed. Results:Signiifcant upregulation of miR-192 expression and reduction of ZEB2 mRNA and protein expression were identiifed in CRC tissues, compared to cancer-adjacent tissues, colorectal adenoma samples, and normal tissues (P<0.05). Low miR-192 levels were signiifcantly associated with lymph node (P=0.021) and distant metastasis (P=0.023). An inverse relationship between miR-192 and ZEB2 protein expression was identified in CRC group (r=-0.365, P<0.05). Conclusion: MiR-192 downexpression was correlated with CRC metastasis. MiR-192 may play a role in the development and progression of CRC through ZEB2.
3.Progress in studying of damage of venous valves in deep vein thrombosis
International Journal of Surgery 2013;40(9):625-628
Venous valve plays an important role in regulating the venous flow,especially in preventing the blood backflow.It has heen observed that when deep vein thrombosis and dissolved,the valves in the lesions had been destroied or dysfunction.The mechanism of damage of vein valve has not been fully clarified,but as we know,it's common that the inflammatory reaction,due to many unfavorable factors,can cause thrombosis.On the other hand,deep vein thrombosis could bring out the inflammatory reaction as well.So the author will review the development of researching of the destruction of venous valves in recent years.

6.Directed forgetting: an ERP research on postgraduate
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2011;20(6):528-530
Objective To investigate neural correlates of directed forgetting. Methods ERP was recorded from 12 healthy postgraduates while they performed a directed forgetting task based on the item-cueing method. During the study phase, each word was followed by a cue indicated that it need to be remembered, to be forgotten or just to be viewed. During the test phase, subjects were asked to make an old/new recognition response. One-way ANOVA of repeated-measurement and paired comparisons were carried out for the cue factor. Results Both of the accuracy and reaction time of the TBR group were significantly superior to those of the other two groups. No significant behavioral effect was found between the TBF group and the TBV group. In the study phase, statistical parametric mapping of ERP suggested the cue effects were presented in the frontal poles ( 200~300 ms ) and the parietal regions (300~400 ms) ,the left fronto-parietal and the right occipital region (450~700 ms). The difference between the TBF and the TBV was significant in the left parietal area (500~525 ms) and has the significant trend in the right frontal area ( 350~600 ms). In the retrieval phase, the old/new effects of ERP occurred in the left fro-nto-temporal (300~450 ms) for the TBF cue. Conclusions The TBF cue and the TBV cue have the equivalent behavioral performance. During the study period, the activation of the right frontal lobe and the left parietal suggests the active inhibition evoked by the TBF cue. And the TBR cue can enhance the rehearsal function of left hemisphere and improve the memory performance of words. The retrieval of the items of TBF is based on more familiarity and less recollection.

9.Clinical analysis of antiplatelet therapy-induced gastrointestinal injury in the elderly
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2011;30(5):358-361
Objective To compare the risk effects of different antiplatelet therapies on gastrointestinal injury and summarize the endoscopic characteristics of gastrointestinal mucosal injury in the elderly. Methods The dyspepsia symptoms, gastrointestinal bleeding and endoscopic findings were retrospectively evaluated among 577 patients who received the antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and/or clopidogrel. Results The risk of dyspepsia symptoms and gastrointestinal bleeding was slightly higher in clopidogrel group than in aspirin group (both P>0.05, x2=0.48, 0.72), and OR (95% CI): 1.10 (0.59-2.07) and 1.74 (0.48-6.33), for the risk of dyspepsia symptoms and gastrointestinal bleeding, respectively. In aspirin plus clopidogrel group, the risk of dyspepsia symptoms had no significant increase as compared with aspirin or clopidogrel group (x2=0.37, 0.03, for aspirin or clopidogrel group, respectively, both P>0.05), but the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding was significantly higher than in aspirin group (x2=5.43, P<0.05), OR (95% CI): 4.77 (1.15-19.79) and slightly higher than in clopidogrel group (P>0.05). In this study, 57 patients received endoscopy and the detection rate of erosion or ulcer was 78.9%. Erosion (61.4%) was most in the gastric antrum; gastric ulcer (10.6%) located in gastric antrum and angle; duodenal ulcer (18.0%) located in bulb. In patients with dyspepsia symptoms erosion (70.5%), were most likely found but patients with gastrointestinal bleeding showed mainly ulcer (69.2%). Conclusions In the elderly the use of clopidogrel alone is not safer than low-dose aspirin and the combination would increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. The detection rate of erosion or ulcer is high in patients with symptoms. Patients with dyspepsia symptoms most likely show erosion, but patients with gastrointestinal bleeding have mainly ulcer and complex ulcers more common.
