MicroRNA-451 (miR-451) is significantly lowly expressed in glioma,gastric cancer,colorectal cancer,liver cancer and other tumor tissues.Upregulation of miR-451 can significantly inhibit tumor cell proliferation,invasion and metastasis as well as increasing tumor cell apoptosis and improving radiotherapy and chemotherapy sensitivity and other biological effects.
2.ROENTGEN MANIFESTATIONS OF RADIATION INJURIES OF BONES:A CLINICAL AND RADIOLOGIC ANALYSIS OF 17 CASES
Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 1981;0(04):-
Based on a clinical and radiological study of radiation injuries of the bones in the 17 cases, the relationship between the osseous changes and the radiation dosage and between the time from radiation therapy and the onset of the radiographic osseous changes were discussed. The authors found that the degree of local skin infection might determine the type of its underneath osseous injuries, i. e. being either "septic" (osteomyelitic) or "aseptic" (bone atrophic) radionecrosis, and it might also determine the time when the osseous changes appeared on the radiogram. It was found that radiation injuries of the bone could be distinguished from bone metastases. The authors suggest that a regular X-ray follow-up of the bones that had received a heavy dose of radiation should be made in order to reveal bone atrophy as early as posible and to remind the patient to avoid any trauma and infection.

The research was carried out to establish HPLC fingerprints of Tibetan medicinal herb "Songdi" (Saxifraga umbellulata var. pectinata), and to provide reference for identification an quality control of it. It was performed on an Amethyst-C18-P (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) column with the mobile phase of methanol-0.4% formic acid in a linear gradient mode at a flow rate of 1.0 mL x min(-1). The column temperature was 30 degrees C, and the detection wavelength was set at 254 nm. The software for chromatographic fingerprint was applied to analyse the pattern analysis, the common peaks and similarity. Cluster analysis was done based on the common peaks data of 33 samples from different plant species and sources by SPSS software. Ten common chromatographic peaks were identified by fingerprint, showing a low similarity in constituent and variety. Flavonoids and saponins were the principal components. The number and area of peaks were affected by the collection sources and method. The high similarity are showed by the samples derived from the same area with high accuracy and high purity. The method is so simple, exclusive, stable and high repeatable that it can provide reference for identification and quality assessment of "Songdi" (S. umbellulata var. pectinata).

Objective: To investigate the relationship between blood level of Galectin-3 and the severity of coronary lesions in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: A total of 158 consecutive subjects received coronary artery angiography (CAG) in Yantai Yu huangding hospital were studied and they were divided into 2 groups: Control group,n=38 individuals with normal coronary artery, CAD group,n=120 patients with at least 1 coronary branch stenosis ≥ 50%. CAD group was further divided into 2 sets of subgroups:①By the number of branches involved, as Single vessel disease, n=42, Double vessels disease including LM,n=40 and Triple vessel disease,n=38.②By the quartile of Gensini score as 1st quartile group, the patients with Gensini score ≤ 18.5, 2nd quartile group,18.5 < Gensini score ≤ 45.0, 3rd quartile group, 45.0 < Gensini score ≤ 71.5 and 4th quartile group, Gensini score>71.5,n=30 in each subgroup. Blood levels of Galectin-3 were examined, and the severity of coronary lesions was evaluated by both branch numbers and Gensini score analysis. Results: Compared with Control group, the blood level of Galectin-3 was higher in CAD group,10.66 (5.81, 16.17) ng/ml vs 18.3(1.14, 2.52) ng/mlP<0.01; with the more branches of coronary lesions involved, the blood levels of Galectin-3 increased accordingly, all P <0.01. With the elevation of Gensini score, the levels of Galectin-3increased accordingly, except for the difference between the 3rd quartile group and 4th quartile group, all P <0.01.With adjusted other factors, blood levels of Galectin-3 were positively related to the number of coronary branchlesions (r =0.52, P <0.01) and Gensini score levels (r =0.17, P =0.04).Conclusion: Blood level of Galectin-3 is positively related to the severity of coronary lesions whichimplies that Galectin-3 may have potential detrimental effect on the occurrence and development of coronaryatherosclerosis.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant form of glioma, and its treatment through traditional surgery combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy has limited efficacy. Chimericantigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T) are recombinant receptors for antigen, which, in a single molecule, redirect and mediateantigen recognition, T-cell activation, and, in the case of second-generation chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) costimulation (CD28 or 4-BB), augment T-cell functionality and persistence. CARs are the focus of attention in emerging treatment options for GBM. This article mainly introduces the development process of CAR-T therapy and the recent success of adoptive transfer of CAR-T cells. Effective targets of the treatment of GBM with CAR-T according to this research are discussed as well. Some of the most extensively studied targets on GBM, especially interleukin-13 receptor α chain variant 2, epidermal growth factor receptor-Ⅷ(EGFRⅧ), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (ErbB2), and ephrinA2 receptor (ErbA2), and the different characteristics of each kind of alloantigen-specific CAR-T cells, are the basis for CAR-T therapy and indicate their different characteristics or utilities and the prospect of further clinical research. The discovery of selective expression of interleukin-13 receptor alpha 2 in glioma cells more than 20 years ago prompted the clinical trial of CAR-T therapy in stage I GBM tumors, and the therapy was proven safe and effective. EGFRⅧ is a neoantigen presenting only in cancer cells and glioblastoma stem cells. Its presence is correlated with poor prognosis, and a phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ trial is ongoing at different institutes. ErbB2-specific CARs were also expressed in human Tcells.Adoptive transfer of EphA2 (or ErbB2)-specific T cells resulted in the regression of glioma xenografts. Thus, target-specific CAR-T immunotherapy may be a promising approach for the treatment of different target-positive GBM. Finally, we summarize the application value and challenge of CAR-T cell therapy in the treatment of GBM.
