Objective: To investigate the correlation between KRAS gene mutation and differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) treatment effect and prognosis, and to explore the mechanism. Methods: Clinical tissue samples from DTC patients undergoing 131I Radiotherapy were collected. Then single strand conformation polymorphism analysis of polymerase chain reaction products (PCRC-SSCP) was used to detect KRAS mutation rate in thyroid cancer patients of different TNM stages; p21 protein expression level was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and western blotting. DTC cells were treated by sub-lethal dose of 131I Radiotherapy, and then CCK-8 assay, transwell assay and flow cytometry (FCM) were used to evaluate the changes of cells viability. Animal models were then constructed for verification. Results: The results showed that KRAS gene mutants were increased in 131I-resistant DTC patients; KRAS gene mutation suppressed p21 protein expression and was associated with clinical stage and poor prognosis. In vivo and in vitro experiments proved that sub-lethal dose of 131I increased KRAS gene mutation rate, suppressed p21 expression level, and caused 131I radiotherapy resistance. Reversely, over-expression of KRAS gene could significantly increase p21 expression, and inhibit tumor proliferation and metastasis. Conclusion: KRAS gene mutations were associated with DTC TNM stages and 131I resistance in DTC patients. Sub-lethal dose of 131I treatment could improve 131I resistance in DTC cells line, inversely, over-expressed KRAS gene could increase the sensitivity to 131I radiotherapy in DTC patients.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety ofGuipi Decoction vs. antidepressants for depression. Methods Articles about the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) ofGuipi Decoction for depression were searched in the databases of CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, CMB, Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane Library. Two researchers independently screened the articles, extracted the data, and evaluated the methodological quality. Meta-analyses were performed by using RevMan 5.2 software.Results A total of 9 RCTs articles involving 893 cases were included. Meta-analysis results suggested that as compared with antidepressants only,Guipi Decoction together with antidepressants was associated with a significantly greater reduction in HAMD scores (MD=-4.63, 95%CI [-5.95, -3.32];P<0.001). There was no significant difference in HAMD scores betweenGuipi Decoction used alone and antidepressants (MD=-0.30, 95%CI [-4.22, 3.62];P=0.88). As compared with antidepressants,Guipi Decoction together with antidepressants increased in the rates of total effective events (RR=1.26, 95%CI [1.14, 1.38];P<0.001). No serious adverse reactions were reported. Meta-analysis results suggested that the incidence of adverse reactions of Guipi Decoction(RR=0.48, 95%CI [0.40, 0.58];P<0.001) andGuipi Decoction together with antidepressants (RR=0.51, 95%CI [0.30, 0.85];P=0.010) were lower than that of antidepressants alone.Conclusion The present evidence suggests thatGuipi Decoction is effective and relatively safe for patients with depression. However, because the quality of included research was low, more large-scale RCTs with multicenter and high quality are needed for further verification.

Objective To evaluate the quality of life(QOL)of postpartum women within six months after delivery in Pudong New Area in Shanghai.Methods From January 1st to June 30th in 2011,435 postpartum women,discharged from Children and Women's Health Care Hospital in Pudong New Area,Gaoqiao Community Health Service Center and Lujiazui Community Health Service Center in Pudong New Area,were investigated by SF 36 questionaire including eight items [physical functioning (PF),role limitations due to physical problems (RP),bodily pain (BP),general health (GH),vitality (VT),social functioning (SF),role limitations due to emotional problems (RE) and mental health (MH)] and divided into three subgroups according to the duration after delivery (8-42,43-119 and 120 180 d).The SF-36 scores were compared with the control (baseline data of 25 to 36-year-old young women in Pudong New Area) or within the three groups.Statistical methods,such as t-test and analysis of variance,were applied.Results (1) The tota lscore and the scores of the seven items in SF-36 were lower than those of control (total score:74.2±11.7 vs 80.5,PF:79.0±19.0 vs 94.6,RP:47.5±12.2 vs 85.7,BP:74.0±18.7 vs 78.4,GH:73.9±13.1 vs 71.0,VT:69.8±16.2 vs 75.0,SF:78.3±20.1 vs 86.9,RE:63.4±21.7 vs 83.5,t=-11.225,-17.105,-18.914,-4.893,3.688,-6.642,-8.881 and-10.076,all P＜0.05) and no significant difference was found in MH score between the postpartum women and the control (78.3±15.0 vs 77.8,t=0.629,P＞0.05).Compared the SF-36 scores in three subgroups (8 42,43-119 and 120 180 d postpartum),the differences on PF score(73.0±19.1,86.3± 17.1,89.1±12.9),RP score(32.4±18.6,57.7±19.1,79.9±12.0),BP score(70.7±18.0,75.6±19.0,81.6±17.3),SF score(76.3±19.6,78.2±21.7,83.9±19.3),RE score(58.5±12.9,71.4± 18.3,70.1± 19.5) and SF-36 total score (72.2± 11.1,76.1± 12.8,78.0± 11.1) were all significant (F=37.744,60.640,13.137,5.185,4.577 and 10.548,allP＜0.05).The PF,VT,RE and total score of postpartum women at 120-180 days after delivery were still lower than those of the control group(t=-4.174,-2.353,-3.341 and-2.166,all P＜0.05).Conclusions The QOL of postpartum women within six months after delivery is not good enough.Up to 120-180 days after delivery,the QOL remains.More efforts should be made to improve the QOL of postpartum women by the whole society.

ObjectiveTo determine whether antibiotic prophylaxis can reduce the risk of postoperative infective complications in men undergoing transrectal prostatic biopsy (TPB) who had sterile preoperative urine.MethodsMEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Collaboration Reviews, Chinese Medical Current Contents (CMCC), and National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched for rando-mized controlled trials that compared the effect of antibiotic prophylaxis with placebo or active controls for men undergoing TPB with preoperative sterile urine. Two reviewers independently extracted the data of patient characteristics and outcomes based on a prospectively developed protocol.ResultsA total of 12 trials (3 placebo controlled, 3 non-treatment controlled, and 6 activly controlled) involving 1 987 patients, met the inclusion criteria. Prophylactic antibiotic use in patients at low risk undergoing TPB significantly decreased bacteriuria and middle degree fever incidence, but could not decrease the incidence of bacteremia. The relative risk for post-TPB bacteriuria, middle degree fever, and bacteremia were 0.32 (95% CI 0.23 to 0.46), 0.37 (95% CI 0.17 to 0.77), and 0.96 (95% CI 0.61 to 1.50), respectively. Effective antibiotic classes included quinolone, co-quinolone and nitroimidazole, and co-trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole. Treatment protocols of any duration were effective.ConclusionAntibiotic prophylaxis obviously decreases the incidence of bacteriuria and middle degree fever but not bacteremia in men with preoperative sterile urine undergoing TPB. A significant decrease in bacteriuria incidence can be achieved with a range of antibiotic agents, including quinolones and co-quinolone and nitroimidazole. Treatment protocols of any duration are effective with no heterogeneity.
