Objective The objective of this study was to observe effects of miR-409-5p on the proliferation and migration of HepG2 cells.Methods HepG2 cells were transfected with miR-409-5p mimics and verified by Real-Time quantitative PCR.After high expression of miR-409-5p,MTT and wound healing assays were used to detect the proliferation and migration ability of HepG2 cells.Results The cell viability of HepG2 cells transfected with miR-409-5p mimics was significantly decreased in comparison with the control group and showed a dose-and time-dependent manner(P<0.05).The migration ability of cells overexpressing miR-409-5p mimics was significantly lower than that in the NC group(P<0.05).There was significant difference between the two groups at treatments for 24 h and 48 h.Conclusion Up-regulated miR-409-5p can inhibit the proliferation and migration of HepG2 cells.

Objective To explore the effect of electroacupuncture intervention on tumor growth and PCNA expression in HepG2 nude mice.Methods Thirty-two nude mice were randomized to electroacupuncture, electrostimulation, model and blank control groups, 8 mice each. A nude mouse model of subcutaneous tumor was made with HepG2. The electroacupuncture group received electroacupuncture at points Zusanli and Sanyinjiao on bilateral lower limbs and the electrostimulation group, direct electrical stimulation of the same points. The tumor volume, the tumor/weight ratio and the tumor growth inhibition rate were observed. PCNA expression in the tumor tissue was determined.Results There was no statistically significant pre-/post-intervention difference in the tumor volume in the electroacupuncture, electrostimulation and model groups (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant post-intervention difference in the tumor volume between the electroacupuncture or electrostimulation group and the model group (P>0.05), but tumor growth tended to slow in the electroacupuncture group. There was no statistically significant pre-/post-intervention difference in the nude mouse weight in every group (P>0.05). There was a statistically significant post-intervention difference in the tumor/weight ratio between the electroacupuncture group and the electrostimulation or model group (P<0.05), but no statistically significant post-intervention difference in the tumor/weight ratio between the electrostimulation and model groups (P>0.05). There was a statistically significantpost-intervention difference in the tumor growth inhibition rate between the electroacupuncture and electrostimulation groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant post-intervention difference in the PCNA expression level between the electroacupuncture or electrostimulation group and the model group (P<0.05), no statistically significant post-intervention difference in the PCNA expression level between the electroacupuncture and electrostimulation groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture can delay HepG2 tumor growth to a certain extent.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided iodine-125 seed implantation to treat dysphagia in patients with advanced esophageal cancer.Methods:Data of 4 patients with dysphagia of advanced esophageal cancer who received EUS-guided iodine-125 seed implantation in Chinese PLA General Hospital between December 2017 and November 2018 were collected in the retrospective study. The evaluation contents included technical success rate of seed implantation, complication, dysphagia grade, tumor size and other follow-up results.Results:Four patients successfully completed EUS-guided iodine-125 seed implantation. No haemorrhage, chest pain, fever, cough or other postoperative complications were reported. Three months after treatment, dysphagia grade reduced from Ⅱ-Ⅳ to 0-Ⅰ, and the tumor size in all patients showed a decrease. After 12-23 months of follow-up, 3 patients were alive, and 1 died due to advance of the cancer.Conclusion:EUS-guided iodine-125 seed implantation is a safe and effective palliative treatment method for dysphagia in patients with advanced esophageal cancer.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion assisted with microscope.Methods Thirty-seven patients with cervical spondylosis were included to be retrospectively ana lyzed,including 21 males and 16 females.All these patients had accepted anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) assisted with microscope from October,2015 to February,2018,and they were aged from 22 to 77 years old (51.5±6.2 years on the average).In these patients,30 cases were operated on single segment,6 cases were operated on double segments,and 1 case was operated on 3 segments.Among all the patients,15 patients of which (40.54％) had cervical spondylotic myelopathy and 22 patients of which (59.46％) sufferered from cervical spondylotic radicu lopathy.All the operations were performed with a conventional transverse anterior cervical incisions,an intervertebral distractor was placed.The decompression was completed under the microscope,and the fixation was performed under direct vision.Moreover,the operative time,intraoperative blood loss and surgery-related complications were recorded.Follow-up was carried out at different times,including 7 days,1 month,3 months,6 months and every year after operation.Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score was used to calculate the rate of improvement in neurological function,which can evaluate the clinical efficacy.And cervical dysfunction index (NDI) was used to assess cervical function.Results All patients in this group underwent successful decompression under the microscope.The operation time was 90-160 min,with an average of (110.67±36.42) min;The intraoperative blood loss was 20-110 ml,with an average of (36.00±29.11) ml.All patients were followed-up for 12-31 months,with an average of (15.2±4.7) months.The JOA score improved from 8.37±3.26 preoperatively to 15.96 ± 1.50 at the last follow-up,and its difference had signifi cance in statistics (t=8.592,P=0.000).Neurological function improvement rate could be graded:excellent in 31 cases and good in 6 cases,the excellent and good rate was 100％;NDI was reduced from 19.01 ± 6.47 preoperatively to 5.81 ± 2.58 at the last follow-up,with statistical significant difference (t=5.127,P=0.000).During the follow-up,1 screw was found loosened and slightly withdrawn in 1 female patient at 3 months after operation,of whom had not obvious discomfort.The patient was continuously observed and there was no screw withdrawal again.Moreover,there were no complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage,hoarseness and difficulty in swallowing.Conclusion Microscope-assisted ACDF can provide safe and adequate decompression without significantly extending the operation time,which is satisfactory in clinical results.Even in some cases of 1 or 2 segments of intervertebral disc nucleus prolapse,it is possible to avoid a more traumatic ACDF.And it is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To analyze the composition, the changes of expense structure and the influencing factors of hospitalization expenses, for reference in optimizing the cost control of day surgery.Methods:Collection of the first page data of patients with the top three diseases(varicose veins of lower limbs, chronic cholecystitis and varicocele)in the day surgery volume ranking in three tertiary general hospitals in a city in 2020. The confounding factors were eliminated through propensity matching. The structural change of hospitalization expenses was analyzed by structural change degree, and the influencing factors of hospitalization expenses were analyzed by grey correlation degree and multiple linear regression.Results:After 1∶1 propensity matching of the first page data of 752 patients with day surgery and non day surgery, 98 patients with lower extremity varicose veins, 356 patients with chronic cholecystitis and 38 patients with varicocele were finally included. Compared with non day hand, the total hospitalization cost of day surgical instruments decreased, and the cost structure changes of chronic cholecystitis, varicocele and varicose veins of lower limbs were 14.59%, 6.20% and 16.20% respectively. Among them, the general medical service fee, nursing fee and examination and laboratory fee showed a downward trend, and the fees of materials and drugs showed an upward trend. General medical service fee, nursing fee, examination and laboratory fee, clinical diagnosis fee, treatment fee, drug fee, material fee and other expenses presented a high correlation with the cost of day surgery(grey correlation>0.90). The payment method, wound healing type and discharge diagnosis can influence the cost of day surgery( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with non daytime surgery, the total hospitalization cost of day surgery has a certain cost control effect, but it can not reduce the cost of all projects. The main influencing factors are the internal composition of the cost, payment method and so on. The hospitals should focus on tapping the internal cost control potential of day surgery and further expanding the coverage of day surgery diseases.

ObjectiveTo explore the sensory processing characteristics of preschool children with autism spectrum disorder （ASD）， and to provide a theoretical basis for early screening and intervention training of ASD. MethodsA total of 215 preschool children with ASD and170 typically developed （TD） children were investigated with a basic situation questionnaire and sensory processing measure （SPM）. The two groups were stratified according to age and gender， and the differences of scores in sensory domains were compared to analyze the sensory processing characteristics of preschool children with ASD. ResultsThe scores of social participation， vision， hearing， touch， taste and smell， body awareness， balance and motion， planning and ideas， and total sensory system in children with ASD were all higher than those in children with TD （all P<0.01）. The highest degree of abnormality was found in hearing and the lowest degree in taste and smell in children with ASD. The results of Spearman correlation analysis showed that in the 4-year-old and 5-year-old children with ASD， the scores of vision （r_s=-0.200， P= 0.033） and hearing （r_s=-0.194， P=0.040） decreased with age. There was no correlation between the scores of other developmental quotients and age （all P>0.05）. Boys and girls with ASD had higher scores in all developmental quotients than TD children （P<0.01）. However， there was no significant gender difference in any developmental quotients of ASD children （all P>0.05）. ConclusionSensory processing abnormalities are common in preschool children with ASD， which are different from those of TD children in multiple sensory domains. Sensory processing abnormalities may be used as an indicator for early screening of ASD， and it is necessary to conduct corresponding intervention training for sensory processing abnormalities in children with ASD.
