Objective: To analyze the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of solute carrier family 22 member4 (SLC22A4) and runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) gene with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis(AS) in Chinese Han ethnicity. Methods: Case-control studies were conducted with an RA cohort (104 RA patients and 109 healthy subjects) and an AS cohort (278 AS patients and 417 healthy controls). Three SNPs of SLC22A4 gene and an SNP of RUNX1 gene were genotyped by direct sequencing; we also assessed whether these alleles and genotypes were associated with RA and AS. Results: No significant differences in the distribution of the alleles and genotypes of SLC22A4 and RUNX1 polymorphisms were found between patients with RA and AS and healthy controls. Conclusion: Our results suggest that SLC22A4 and RUNX1 polymorphisms analyzed in the present study are not the susceptible genes for RA and AS in Chinese Han ethnicity.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the levels of serum uric acid (SUA) and prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) by Meta analysis. Methods: We searched the databases of Pub Med, Elsevier and Web of Science for internationally published cohort study for the relationship between SUA levels and CAD prevalence and conducted a general analysisby using Stata software. Results: A total of 11 cohort study including 463,918 subjects were enrolled in this study. For both male and female genders, increase SUA level was the risk factor for CAD occurrence (RR=1.11, 95% CI 1.00-1.24) and (RR=1.24, 95% CI 1.15-1.34). Dose-response Meta-analysis indicated that by 1 mg/dl SUA elevation, the risk of CAD occurrence would increase 4.8% in male and 12.4% in female, the risk in female gender was higher than male. Conclusion: SUA level has been closely related to CAD prevalence.

Objective To investigate the current situation of occupational burnout of doctors in west China and to explore the relationships among burnout,social support and work-family conflicts.Methods 611 doctors in west China were assessed by Chinese Maslach burnout inventory( CMBI),social support rating scale(SSRS) and work-interference-with-family and family-interference-with-work questionnaire.Results 14.1％ of the doctors in west China got high scores on emotional exhaustion(EE),49.4％ of them high scores on depersonalization(DP) and 33.1％ high scores on reduced personal accomplishment (RPA) ; 27.3％ experienced mild burnout,43.7％ moderate burnout and 3.3％ severe burnout.Doctors who had worked for 5 ～ 10 years and those for 11 ～ 20 years experienced greater EE.Those doctors with bachelor or master degree and intermediate or senior titles got highest level of depersonalization.Doctors in second-class hospitals got highest scores of depersonalization,and those who worked in first-class hospital experienced the highest sense of achievement.Logistic regression analysis showed that social support was a protective factor for burnout,but the conflict between work and family was a risk factor.Conclusion The status of occupational burnout among the doctors in west China is in a grave condition,the balance between family and work,and social supporting is crucial for doctors to resist the occupational burnout.

Objective To explore the influence of Chinese Qigong--Baduanjin on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in elderly diabetic patients.Methods A total of 78 elderly type 2 diabetic patients complicated with MCI were divided into intervention group and control group by random digits table method.The control group with 41 patients was received routine treatment and discharged guidance after discharging from hospital.The intervention group with 37 patients was received Baduanjin exercise for 12 months based on the routine treatment in control group.Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Activity of Daily Living (ADL) scores in two groups were compared before intervention and 1,3,6,9 and 12 months after intervention.Results In intervention group,MoCA scores were significantly increased at different times after intervention compared with those before intervention,F=72.782,the differences were statistically significant,P＜0.05.At the same time,MoCA scores were all significantly higher in intervention group than those in control group,F=2.231,2.972,4.362,5.085,5.373,the differences were statistically significant,P＜ 0.05.In intervention group,ADL scores had significantly improved since 6 months after intervention compared with those before intervention,F=93.126,the differences were statistically significant,P＜0.05,and compared with those in control group,the scores were significantly higher since 6 months after intervention,F=3.853,4.561,7.162,the differences were statistically significant,P＜0.05.Conclusion Chinese Qigong--Baduanjin in treatment of elderly diabetic patients complicated with MCI can delay the MCI progress and improve ADL of the patients.

Objective:To investigate the influence of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) on morbidity of severely obstructive jaundice patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods:A total of 98 severely obstructive jaundice(Serum total bilirubin＞300 μ mool/L) patients underwent PD between February 2010 and October 2015 were enrolled in the study.The patients were divided into two groups based on undergoing PBD or not.The no-PBD group comprised 52 patients and the PBD group comprised another 46 patients.Perioperatives parameters,including operative time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative mortality and morbidity and postoperative hospital stay were compared between the two groups.Results:The demographics,preoperative examinations and pathological results were similar between the two groups (P＞0.05).Operative time of the no-PBD group was statistically longer than the PBD group (379.44 ± 88.57min vs 346.98 ± 57.17 min,P＜0.05).Besides,intraoperative blood loss of the no-PBD group were much more than the PBD group (365.00 ± 187.07mL vs 297.83 ± 139.57 mL,P＜0.05).There was no statistical difference of mortality rate between the no-PBD group and the PBD group(3.85％ vs 2.17％,P＞0.05).The overall morbidity rate of the 2 groups were similar (53.85％ vs 43.48％,P＞0.05),but the pancreatic fistula rate of no-PBD group was significantly higher than the PBD group (30.77％ vs 13.04％,P＜0.05).Conclusion:PBD could reduce operative time,intraoperative blood loss and pancreatic fistula rate after PD.Meanwhile,the mortality and overall morbidity rates were similar between the two groups.PBD should be considered for severely obstructive jaundice patients.

Objective To evaluate the method, clinical effects and influential factors of using three dimensional external fixators in the treatment of severe open comminuted tibiofibular fractures 5 cm near the knee or ankle joints. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 32 cases of open comminuted tibiofibular fracture 5 cm near the knee (11 cases) or ankle joints (21 cases). They were treated with three dimensional external fixators from October 2000 to May 2005. The patients with small wounds were treated with manipulative reduction or leverage reduction through the wound under the guidance of C-arm radiography. In case of malreduction or soft tissue being tangled by the fracture ends, visible reduction was carried out after the wound was lengthened or a small incision was added. Limited internal fixation was used in case of necessity. The results were evaluated in terms of shortening of the fractured limbs, X-ray manifestation, bilateral flexion differences and postoperative walking complaints. Results Follow-ups from 5 to 18 months (nine months on average) showed that all the cases achieved osseous union. The mean union time was 5.6 months. The total excellent and good rates of fracture healing and functional recovery were 81.3% and 87.5% respectively. Conclusion Application of the three dimensional external fixator is appropriate for the treatment of severe open comminuted tibiofibular fracture 5 cm near the knee or ankle joints, because its operative procedure is simple, the injury it causes is minimal, its fixation is reliable and its complications are quite limited.

Background and purpose: Accumulating evidence has revealed that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is correlated with carcinogenesis and tumor development. Recent literature suggested that lncRNA promoter of CDKN1A antisense DNA damage activated RNA (PANDAR) was involved in the development of various cancers. However, the functional role of PANDAR in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been elucidated yet. The present study aimed to explore the functional role of lncRNA PANDAR in promoting CRC metastasis and its mechanism.Methods: The expression of lncRNA PANDAR in CRC cell lines and tissues was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR), and the correlation between lncRNA PANDAR expression and CRC clinicopathological characteristics was statistically analyzed. Then, lncRNA PANDAR stably silencing CRC cells (HCT116-shPANDAR), overexpression cells (DLD1-PANDAR) and control vector cells (HCT116-shNC and DLD1-vector) were established using lentiviral vectors. Moreover, Transwell assay and Matrigel assay were performed to investigate the function of lncRNA PANDAR in CRC migration and invasion. Furthermore, the expression of transcriptional factors mediating epithelial-mesenchymal transition of lncRNA PANDAR overexpression cells were monitored by RTFQ-PCR assay, and the function of the target gene in modulating lncRNA PANDAR mediated CRC metastasis was also explored. Results: The expression levels of lncRNA PANDAR in normal colorectal epithelial cells were much lower than in CRC cell. The levels of lncRNA PANDAR in tumor-adjacent tissues were verified to be much lower than in CRC tissues [(171.52±97.80)% vs (100.00±63.18)%, P<0.05]. Moreover, the expression of lncRNA PANDAR was detected to be significantly correlated with CRC TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis (P<0.05). Besides, lncRNA PANDAR deficiency significantly reduced the migration [100.00% vs (42.08±4.77)%, P<0.05] and invasion [100.00% vs (39.14±3.81)%, P<0.05] capabilities in CRC cells, in contrast, the migration [100.00% vs (194.12±9.33)%, P<0.05] and invasion [100.00% vs (204.08±12.27)%, P<0.05] capa-bilities of CRC cells were obviously increased with lncRNA PANDAR overexpression. Furthermore, zinc-finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) expression was detected to be positively correlated with lncRNA PANDAR expression, and ZEB1 silencing could significantly reverse the increased migration and invasion capabilities induced by lncRNA PANDAR in CRC cells. Conclusion: LncRNA PANDAR could promote CRC metastasis by potentially targeting ZEB1. LncRNA PANDAR might be a promising diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for CRC patients.
