1.Progress in function of microRNA during lung development
International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(4):295-298
MicroRNAs are composed of a large group of small, non-coding RNA sequences that are highly conserved among species.So far, researchers have uncovered that microRNAs play important roles in various biological processes including developmental timing, cell fate determination, immune responses, insulin secretion, and progression of various cancers.Recently, microRNAs have become a major focus of interest for research in lung development.This article provides an overview of the various microRNAs that have been implicated in lung organogenesis.

Objective To observe the impact of the five-emotion restrictive therapy on coronary heart disease. Methods109 hospitalized patients with coronary heart disease were randomly divided into a experimental of 56 patients and a control group of 53 patients according to length of stay. The control group was treated with the conventional therapy; the experimental group was imposed five-emotion restrictive psychological intervention on the basis of conventional therapy. The investigation was done using self-rating anxiety scale(SAS) and self-rating depression scale(SDS) on 1 day after admission and ld before discharge respectively. SAS and SDS scores were surveyed. At the same time Holter monitoring and normal ECG test were compared. Results Compared with control group, the experimental group 1 d before discharge of the SAS and SDS scores were (41.9±7.4) and (38.6±8.4), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01) . The total effective rate of Holter monitoring and normal ECG was 64.15% and 92.85% in the control and experimental group, and the difference was significant (P<0.01) . ConclusionThe pathological seven emotions have a certain affection on the incidence of coronary heart disease, treatment and prognosis of the course. Five-emotion restrictive psychological intervention can adjust timely psychological state of patients, eliminate negative emotions, and significantly help the incidence, treatment and prognosis of the disease.
