MicroRNA (miRNA),an abundant class of small non-coding RNA,are abundant in the central nervous system where they play important roles in the neuronal development and plasticity.Moreover,the relationship between miRNA dysfunction and neurological diseases become more and more apparent.Recent studies show that the misregulated expression of miRNA out of control is closely related to the development of glioma.In this review we discussed the progress on the study of miRNA in Glioma.

The author got an opportunity to know about the Thai traditional medicine, especially its application and efficacy in treatment of Bi syndrome via the communication with Thai healers in the duration of teaching and working in Chandrakasem Rajabhat University due to an invitation.This paper will simply discuss the similarities and differences between the treatments with traditional Thai medicine and traditional Chinese medicine for Bi syndrome in terms of their theory systems, the understanding of Bi syndrome, as well as the characteristics of therapies.And I hope this paper will provide certain help in the academic exchanges between these two traditional medicines.

The management of hospital office is one of the important part of hospital management .The paper briefly introduces the functions and features of hospital office , analyzes the present situation and existing problems . By applying PDCA Circulation Method , we can improve and optimize the hospital office and constantly enhance the management level of hospital office .

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy of differentiated plasma cells that accumulate in the bone marrow,where a complex microenvironment made by different cell types supports proliferation,survival,and drug resistance of tumor cells.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression at post-transcriptional level.Emerging evidence indicates that miRNAs are aberrantly expressed or functionally deregulated in MM cells as the result of multiple genetic or epigenetic mechanisms and that also the tumor microenvironment regulates MM cell functions by miRNAs.Consistently,modulation of miRNA levels in MM cells has been demonstrated to impair their functional interaction with the bone marrow microenvironment and to produce significant antitumor activity to overcome the protective bone marrowmilieu.This review will describe the most recent findings on miRNA function in the context of MM bone marrow microenvironment,focusing on the therapeutic potential of miRNA-based approaches.

The correlation between vegetarian diets and cardiovascular health is always one of the hotspots. Many scholars have performed so many clinical researches all over the world, providing evidence-based medicine (EBM) reference for clarifying their correlation. In this paper, we raise ideas and expectation on the basis of a Meta-analysis about vegetarian diets and blood pressure (published on JAMA Internal Medicine in Feb 2014) in combination of main clinical research literature in this field in recent 20 years.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of three-dimensional rapid traction combined with sacral hiatus epidural blocking for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation(LDH). Methods A totsl of 450 patients with LDH were divided into three groups.Group A received conventional slow traction,group B received three-dimensional rapid traction,and group C received sacral hiatus injections for epidural blocking combined with three-dimensional rapid traction.The Japanese Orthopadedic Association(JOA)scale for lumbar disease and a visual analogue scale(VAS)were used to evaluate the treatment effect and the patients'subsequent quality of life.All of the patients were followed up for 1 year and evaluated using standard clinical evaluations. Results The average VAS scores and JOA scores of the three groups were not significantly different before treatment,and all had significantly improved after treatment.The overall effectiveness rates were 63.33% for group A,90.67%for group B and 94% for group C,and these differences were all statistically significant.After one year the recurrence rates in the A,B and C groups were 20.7%,14.0%and 8.7% respectively,and these differences were again statistically significant.Conclusion Sacral hiatus epidural blocking combined with three-dimensional rapid traction showed good therapeutic effect and safety for LDH patients and was superior to simple rapid traction or slow traction.

Nerve stem cells have the potential of self-repair and multi-differentiation.They participate in brain tissue repair after ischemic stroke.The inflammatory factors have multiple functions and can change the microenvironment of brain tissue.This article reviews the recent progress in research on the inflammation after ischemic stroke and neurogenesis,mainly focusing on the impact of inflammatory factors on stem cell survival and neurogenesis.

Objective To explore the techniques and clinical effects of surgical treatment for supratentorial hypertensive intracerebral hematoma (HICH) by modified minicraniotomy approach and bone fragment reduction.Methods The clinical data of 87 patients with supratentorial HICH in our department from April,2009 to April,2011 who received modified minicraniotomy approach and reduction of bone fragment were retrospectively reviewed.Results Of the 87 patients,three died,and the remaining 84 cases were followed up.According to the ADL( activities of daily living) scale,the patients were classified:Twenty-six cases in grade Ⅰ,28 in grade Ⅱ,22 in grade Ⅲ,6 in grade Ⅳ and 2 in grade Ⅴ.Conclusion The surgical procedure of modified minicraniotomy approach and reduction of bone fragment for treatment of supratentorial HICH has some advantages such as miniinvasion,good exposure,wide visual field,complete clearance of hematoma,integrated skull,and less complications.It is a perfect surgical procedure for supratentorial HICH.

Objective To evaluate the effect of a new schistosomiasis control strategy based on the infection source control in four-lake regions of Hubei Province. Methods The new strategy based on the infection source control included the safe water sup-ply,feces harmless treatment,replacing cattle with machine,captive livestock,chemotherapy,Oncomelania hupensis snail con-trol in susceptible areas,hardening ditches,etc,and the new control strategy was implemented for 7 years in 9 counties(cities or districts)of the four-lake regions. The schistosomiasis situations were investigated before and after the intervention of the new strat-egy. Results The coverage rates of feces harmless toilets(three format toilets),biogas digesters,and safe water supply were 42.00%,23.16% and 93.76%,respectively. The number of ditch hardening was 1 960;the area of eliminating snails was 1 378.42 hm2;the number of persons who received the health education was 3 524 818 accounting for 92.17%of the total popula-tion;the number of person-time of taking active protection measures was 516 636 963. The average annual decline rates of schisto-some infection were 24.42%and 38.38%in residents and cattle,respectively. The endemic villages decreased by 4.77%,the vil-lages with snails decreased by 7.05%,and the villages with snails accounted between 63.19%and 66.21%of the total endemic vil-lages. The area with snails decreased by 90.35%,and the advance schistosomiasis patients decreased by 5.55%,and the fatality rate of advanced schistosomiasis patients decreased by 1.24%. No acute schistosomiasis patients occurred. Type One and Two en-demic(heavy endemic)villages decreased to zero;Type Three endemic(moderate endemic)villages decreased by 10.22%;but Type Four endemic(mild endemic)villages increased by 66.38%;and Type Five endemic(no endemic for 5 years)villages de-creased by 0.22%. The standards of schistosomiasis transmission controlled have achieved on schedule. Conclusion The imple-mentation of the new schistosomiasis control strategy based on the infection source control in four-lake regions of Hubei Province can effectively control schistosomiasis.
