Objective To study the role of miR-320-3p in adipocyte differentiation. Methods Marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from mice and cultured then induced with adipogenic agents for 3 days. The transcription level of miR-320-3p was examined by qRT-PCR. Stromal ST2 cells were transfected with miR-320-3p, followed by adipogenic treatment. Oil-red O staining and qRT-PCR were employed to assess the differentiation of adipocytes induced by miR-320-3p. Results The expression level of miR-320-3p increased in MSCs after adipogenic treatment (P < 0.01). Addition of miR-320-3p in ST2 cells promoted the formation of oil-red O positive adipocytes and up-regulated the expression levels of adipogenic transcription factors such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-α(C/EBPα) and the marker gene adipocyte fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4),compared to cells that transfected with miR-320-3p mimics (P<0.05). Conclusion miR-320-3p promotes ST2 cells differentiation into adipocytes.

Fatal anaphylactic shock is common in forensic practice. However, it is difficult to diagnose for lacking specific pathological and morphologic changes in forensic autopsy. The application of some biochemical indicators is of great significance. This paper reviews the biological characteristics of some biochemical indicators and detection methods. The forensic application, problems and prospects of these indicators are also introduced in details. The stable biochemical indicators, IgE, tryptase and chymase, show great potential and advantages in the identification of fatal anaphylactic shock in forensic medicine.

Objective To explore the changes of serum IgE and tryptase caused by anaphylactic shock rats and discuss the relation to PMI and preservative environm ent of corpse and specim en. Methods Rats were used for establishing anaphylactic shock m odels and random ly divided into room tem perature group, refrigeration group, frozen group, manual hem olysis group, specim en preservation group. And the control group was also established. The blood sam ples were collected after rats were sacrificed. The de-gree of hem olysis was graded according to the color of the upper layer of the serum . The mass concen-tration of IgE and tryptase in each group was detected by ELISA. Results The levels of serum IgE and tryptase in anaphylactic shock dead rats were higher than that of the control group. Room tem perature and frozen m ade obviously differences on the levels of serum IgE and tryptase with various PMI. The levels of serum IgE and tryptase in refrigeration group show ed relatively stable. The levels of serum tryptase and IgE were elevated with differently increasing hem olysis. The levels of serum IgE and tryptase show ed no obvious changes during the specim en kept under different tem perature conditions for 25 days. Conclusion Serum IgE and tryptase obviously increased in anaphylactic shock rats. H ow ever, the levels were influenced by PMI and environm ental tem perature, especially under the conditions of room tem perature and frozen.

Throughout human history, pandemic bacterial diseases such as the plague and tuberculosis have posed an enormous threat to human beings. The discovery of antibiotics has provided us with powerful arsenal for the defense against bacterial infections. However, bacteria are acquiring more and more resistance genes to shield off antibiotics through mutation and horizontal gene transfer. Therefore, novel antibiotics must be produced and the arms race between bacterial pathogens and antibiotics is becoming increasingly intense. Recently, researchers have found that plasmids carrying a new metallo-beta-lactamase gene, blaNDM-1, and many other antibiotics resistance genes can easily spread through bacterial populations and confer recipient stains resistance to nearly all of the current antibiotics. It is a threat to the human health and a great challenge for our medical science, which we are facing. We need to find new ways to fight and win this arms racing.

MicroRNA (miRNA or miR) is a class of highly conserved endogenous non-coding RNA of 21~25nt, which is widely existed in organisms. Currently, miRNA has been proven to be associated with cardiovascular diseases in clinical research, but it has not been reported in the field of forensic medicine. This paper highlights recent findings about miRNA and its application in cardiovascular diseases, and the application aspect of miRNA in sudden cardiac death in forensic science.

Objective:
To investigate the incidence of occupational diseases in a province of China during the period of "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" , and to analyze the features of disease spectrum, the characteristics of regional and industrial distribution, and incidence trend.
Methods:
Data (2011-2015) were collected from the Information System of Occupational Diseases and Occupational Health to analyze the reported cases of occupational diseases during the period of "Twelfth Five-Year Plan". A statistical analysis was performed to identify the characteristics of the disease distribution in terms of sex, age, working years, enterprise type, enterprise scale, and region, as well as the incidence trend.
Results:
The overall incidence of occupational diseases in this province fluctuated and decreased gradually. There were a total of 5036 new cases of occupational diseases during the period of "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" ; 89.45% of them were male, and 69.78% of them were aged 40-69 years; the most frequently seen occupational diseases were pneumoconiosis (72.48%) and ear, nose, throat, and oral diseases (7.23%). Most cases of pneumoconiosis occurred after 5-10 years of exposure, and other occupational diseases usually developed within 10 years of exposure. New cases of occupational diseases were often seen in small and micro enterprises, as well as Wuxi, Suzhou, and Yancheng.
Conclusion
During the period of "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" , the incidence of occupational diseases in this province decreased gradually, indicating improved control of occupational diseases, but we still need to pay attention to the high-risk population (male, aged over 40 years) , as well as the prevention of occupational noise-induced hearing loss, and to strengthen the supervision of small and micro enterprises.

Objective:To analyze and compare the detection level and actual detection of suspected occupational diseases of lead exposed workers in the network report of occupational disease and occupational health information monitoring system, so as to provide a basis for formulating and improving relevant laws and regulations on occupational disease monitoring in the future.Methods:From January 2016 to December 2018, the network report occupational health examination data of lead exposed workers in Jiangsu Province were selected, the network report detection rate of suspected occupational diseases of lead exposed workers was counted and compared with the actual detection rate judged in the early stage, and the distribution characteristics of the network report detection rate of different years, regions and occupational health examination institutions and the reasons for the difference with the actual detection rate were analyzed.Results:Network report detection rate of suspected occupational disease in Jiangsu Province from 2016 to 2018 (0.042%, 30/71810) was significantly lower than the actual detection rate of 1.12% (805/71810) , and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=723.518, P<0.01) . The network report detection rates of suspected occupational chronic lead poisoning showed an increasing trend year by year, and the difference were statistically significant (χ 2trend=7.627, P<0.01) . All the 30 network report cases were male, and 28 cases (93.33%) were from small and medium-sized enterprises. Among the 805 cases of suspected occupational chronic lead poisoning, 689 cases (85.59%) came from small and medium-sized enterprises. The three cities with more cases were Huai'an 222 cases (27.58%) , Suzhou 208 cases (25.84%) and Changzhou 138 cases (17.14%) . Compared with the actual detection, the number of network reports in Yangzhou accounted for 85.29% (29/34) of the actual detection from 2016 to 2018, that in Suqian accounted for 10.00% (1/10) , and that in other prefecture level cities was 0. From 2016 to 2018, 46.22% (33191/71810) of the occupational health examinations of lead exposed workers were undertaken by Centers for Disease Control and prevention at all levels (referred to as "CDC") . The 30 suspected cases of occupational chronic lead poisoning reported network came from CDC, accounting for 4.89% (30/614) of the actual detection, and the rest were 0. Conclusion:There are great differences between the network report and the actual detection rate of suspected occupational chronic lead poisoning among lead exposed workers, mainly due to the differences in the judgment level of suspected occupational diseases in different regions, the nature of institutions and the level of professional technicians.

Occupational disease diagnosis standards are an important basis for occupational disease diagnosis, occupational health surveillance, occupational health supervision, occupational disease treatment, occupational disease disability assessment, and handling of occupational disease diagnosis disputes in conjunction with the "Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China". With the successive promulgation of the "Standardization Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Administrative Measures on Health Standards", the establishment of a mandatory standard implementation evaluation mechanism has gradually been paid attention to. However, there is still a lack of systematic research on the evaluation of diagnostic criteria for occupational diseases. Therefore, this article combines the current status of the diagnostic standards for occupational diseases in China, and proposes reasonable suggestions on how to carry out the evaluation of the implementation of this type of standard in terms of evaluation methods and content.
