Objective To detect TRAF1 gene single nucleotide polymorphism in Han population ,and analyze its association with increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Han people. Methods The study group was comprised with 100 healthy Han subjects and 100 Han RA patients. Six SNPs was detected by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS), and the result was analyzed by Haploview software. Fisher's exact test and χ2 test were used for statistical analysis.Results The rs4836834 A/A, A/T, T/T allele frequencies of RA group were 22.22%, 49.49%, 28.28% respectively. The rs4836834 A/A, A/T, T/T allele frequencies of healthy control group were 28.57%, 30.61%,40.82% respectively. There was significant difference (P<0.05) of rs4836834 between Hah patients with RA and healthy controls. For other five sites, including rs10818488, which had been reported to be associated with increased risk of Caucasians RA patients, there was no significant difference (P>0.05) between RA group and the control group. The linkage disequilibrium and haplotype frequency analysis results showed that there was strong linkage disequilibrium between rs7021049 and rs7021880, rs7021049 and rs4836834, rs7021880 and rs4836834, but there was no significant difference between RA group and the control group in the haplo-type frequencies of the three classes of linkage disequilibrium. Conclusion TRAF1 gene may be a susceptible gene associated with Han RA people, but its single nucleotide polymorphisms and performance may be different between Caucasians and Han people.

Cancer cells frequently share biological characteristics and energy metabolic processes distinct from normal cells. The specific metabolic phenotype was originally known as the Warburg effect. Researchers later discovered that cancer cells prefer to synthesize fatty acid de novo . Moreover, key enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis and β-oxidation are overexpressed in tumor tissues, with low or without expression in normal tissues. Abnormal fatty acid metabolism is related to the survival and invasiveness of cancer cells, indicating that abnormal fatty acid metabolism provides the crucial components and energy sources of cancer cells. In recent years, the specific phenotype of abnormal fatty acid metabolism and the exploration of the role of this metabolic alteration in cancer biology and therapeutic strategies targeting the fatty acid metabolic pathways have become attractive focuses in cancer research. The role of active fatty acid metabolism in tumorigenesis and development, as well as the research progress in the development of the specific inhibitors, is reviewed in this paper.

The condition and prognosis of ischemic cerebrovascular disease(ICVD)are closely associated w ith the w hole blood coagulation status and the reactivity of antiplatelet agents of patients. Thromboelastography ( TEG ) is a reliable means to detect the w hole blood coagulation and fibrinolytic capacity. Its overal results of the evaluation can be used in the coagulation monitoring, efficacy of antiplatelet therapy, and prognostic evaluation in patients w ith ischemic cerebrovascular disease. In recent years, the detection methods of TEG have been improved continuously. The research reports for its clinical application are gradual y increasing. This article review s the clinical application of TEG in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognostic evaluation in ischemic cerebrovascular disease.

The development of formulas in the Ming Dynasty surpassed the previous dynasties in range and depth.The main achievements of formulas were not only the coming out of Puji Fang and Yifang Kao,but also the diversity of formulas nomenclature and variation,initial perfection of formulas classification and composition,continuous invention of new distinctive formulas,steady increment of remedy books and wide application of preparations.

Joint prosthesis is one of the most successful procedures in orthopaedic surgery and has considerably improved the quality of life for patients affected by terminal joint disease. However,a number of joint prosthesis ultimately failed because of aseptic loosening. There have been major advances in the understanding of aseptic loosening. The RANKL-RANK-OPG-NF-?B system has been shown to play a fundamental role in aseptic loosening. We review how the RANKL-RANK-OPG-NF-?B system regulates aseptic loosening and aseptic loosening drug intervention.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of laparoscope microwave ablation therapy for liver cancer.Methods Twenty-four special sites (at least 1 lesion close to diaphragmatic muscle,gallbladder,stomach,colon and big lacuna exterior and interior of liver) of primary liver cancer patients (32 nodes) were selected,and the patients were treated with laparoscope microwave ablation therapy.The rate of complete remission after treatment,the level of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) before and after treatment,postoperative complication and follow-up condition were observed.Results All the patients successfully completed the operation.The rate of complete remission after treatment was 87.50％ (28/32).Six patients had fever,8 patients had pain,and 2 patients had pleural effusion,and no patient had serious complication such as postoperative bleeding,biliary fistula or gastrointestinal perforation,etc.Five patients showed recurrence at 2,3,3,7 and 9 months after treatment,1 patient was treated with radio frequency ablation,1 patient was treated with microwave ablation again,2 patients were treated with γ knife,1 patient was treated with conservative method and then died of liver failure.The patients without recurrence were disease-free survival.Conclusions Laparoscope microwave ablation therapy has the advantages of laparoscope and microwave ablation.It is safe and feasible,with few trauma and outstanding curative effect,especially for the liver cancer in special site.

Intracranial aneurysms are a severe cerebrovascular disease.Its incidences ranged from 2% to 4% in general population.With the population aging and the development of imaging technique,the prevalence of intracranial aneurysm is increasing year by year.The research of natural course of aneurysm has important significance for neurosurgeons to evaluate the validity of therapeutic measures.There are significant differences between the patients with aneurysm who have had subarachnoid hemorrhage and those who have not.The rates of ruptured intracranial aneurysms per year ranged from 0.066% to 2%.The risk factors that affect ruptured intracranial aneurysms including the size and place of aneurysm,whether it is multiple aneurysms or not,growth rate,and self-factors of patients,such as age,sex,and history of hypertension and smoking,etc.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a viral infectious disease regarded to be a public-health problem worldwide. Since the 1990s, HFMD began to spread in the Asia-Pacific region (especially in South-East Asia). HFMD outbreaks have occurred in mainland China frequently since 2008, and the morbidity and mortality of HFMD has continued to increase in recent years. In mainland China, enterovirus A serotype enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) have been the major pathogens of HFMD during these years. However, the etiological spectrum of HFMD changes with time. This review focuses mainly on the etiological spectrum of HFMD and changes in epidemic patterns in mainland China.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of total flavonoids of drynaria on hemorrhagic shock reperfusion renal injury.Methods The 30 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham operation group, experimental group (hemorrhagic shock group) and drynaria fortunei group, 10 in each group. In drynaria fortunei group and experiment group, the blood from the femoral artery was with drawn until the mean arterial pressure reached 40 mmHg in 90 min, and then the withdrawn blood transfusion were reinfused and blood pressure recovered to the base value of 90%. The rats of drynaria fortunei group were given intraperitoneal injection of Drynaria total flavonoid 300 mg/kg, and experimental group and sham operation group were injected with 3 ml physiological saline. Blood creatinine (SCr) levels, the renal cell apoptosis index, the expression of Bcl-2 and mRNA Bax in kidney were detected. Results Compared with the experimental group, serum SCr (78.36 ± 5.31 mmol/Lvs. 151.43 ± 11.8 mmol/L) of drynaria fortunei group decreased significantly (P<0.01); the renal cell apoptosis (19.56% ± 4.37%vs. 14.31% ± 2.83%), the expression level of Osteopractic rats of Bax group mRNA (1.24 ± 0.05vs. 0.91 ± 0.07) of drynaria fortunei group decreased significantly; and the Bcl-2 mRNA (0.65 ± 0.05vs. 1.38 ± 0.07) and the expression level and Bcl-2/bax ratio (0.52 ± 0.06vs. 1.51 ± 0.08) of drynaria fortunei group increased significantly (P<0.01).Conclusions The drynaria total flavonoids on rats with hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation of renal injury has a protective effect, and its mechanism may improve the expression of Bcl-2 and mRNA, increase the ratio of bcl-2/bax, and inhibit  or block the apoptosis of renal tissue.
