Objective To detect the expression of Per2 and VEGF in NSCLC tissue,and analyze its clinical significance.Methods The expression of Per2 and VEGF was measured in 60 NSCLC and 20 normal lung tissue by immunohistochemistry assay,then the relation with clinicopathological parameters was analyzed.Results The positive expression rate of Per2 in NSCLC and in normal lung tissue were 71.7％ and 95.0％ ( x2 =4.683,P ＜0.05 ),while the positive expression rate of VEGF were 58.3％ and 15％ (x2 =11.295,P ＜ 0.01 ).The negative expression of Per2 in NSCLC was correlated with pathological differentiation or TNM stage( x2 =4.413,6.179,all P ＜0.05),while the positive expression of VEGF in NSCLC was correlated with pathological differentiation or lymphatic metastasis (x2 =6.524,P ＜ 0.05 ).The expression of Per2 was negatively correlated with the expression of VEGF in NSCLC (r =-0.381,P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion The overexpression of VEGF in NSCLC may contribute to invasion and metastasis,while Per2 may be a beneficial prognosis factor in patients with NSCLC.

ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility and outcomes of natural orifice transanal laparoscopic Soave procedure for Hirschsprung's disease and allied disorders (HAD).MethodsFrom March 2010 to December 2011,31 cases (at the age from 3 mos to 6 yrs) with Hirschsprung's disease or allied disorders (5 cases)underwent laparoscopic-assisted Soave pull-through procedure at two tertiary hospitals.We modified this technique by mobilizing the left hemicolon or whole colon via rectal muscular sleeve approach under transanal or transumbilical laparoscopic vision,then endorectal pull-through to completearectosigmoidectomyorsubtotalcolectomy. ResultsAllprocedureswerecompleted successfully.A rectosigmoidectomy was performed in 16 cases with classic HD and subtotal colectomy in 15 cases with extended HD and HAD.The average operative time was ( 117 ± 13) min.The length of the resected segment was 35 -80 cm,and the estimated blood loss was 5 -20 ml. One infant developed postoperative intestinal obstruction that required open exploration.Follow-up of one to 20 mos found no stoma stenosis or constipation recurrence. Enterocolitis developed in 1patient.ConclusionsTransanal or transumbilical laparoscopic-assisted Soave pull-through surgery is safe,effective and with a benefit of much less invasion and almost invisible scars.

Objective To investigate the expression of c-FLIPL in leukemia and explore its clinical significance. Methods The expression level of c-FLIPL mRNA in bone marrow mononuclear cells was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR)in 103 leukemia patients with different types of leukemia,including 54 cases of acute lymphocytic leukemia(ALL)with 37 newly diagnosed,5 relapsed,and 12 complete remis-sion,38 cases of acute myeloid leukemia(AML)with 24 newly diagnosed,6 relapsed,and 8 complete remission,newly diagnosed 2 cases of acute undifferentiated leukemia(AUL),6 cases of chronic myelocytic leukemia(CML),and 3 cases of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia(CM-ML). The immunophenotype of patients were detected by flow cytometry. Results Expression level of c-FLIPL mRNA was higher in newly diag-nosed and relapsed leukemia patients. There was no significant difference between newly diagnosed and relapsed leukemia patients(P>0.05). Ex-pression level of c-FLIPL mRNA of AUL and CML was higher than that in other patients ,but there was no significant difference(P>0.05). Ex-pression level of c-FLIPL mRNA of all newly diagnosed and relapsed leukemia patients was significantly higher than that in control group and com-plete remission group(P<0.05). The expression level of c-FLIPL mRNA was correlated with risk stratification ,white blood cell(WBC),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase(HBDH),CD45 and TEL-AML1,but was not associated with age,sex,fibrinogen and chromosome abnormality. Conclusion c-FLIPL mRNA is highly expressed in leukemia patients ,and is closely related with risk stratification , WBC,LDH,HBDH and prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression of Toll-like receptor (TLR) mRNA in enterovirus 71(EV-A71) infected human Jurkat T cells and clarify the role of TLRs in the pathogenesis of EV-A71 infection-induced inflammation.

METHODSEV-A71 strains were isolated from feces of children patients with hand, foot and mouth disease in 2014 by Shenzhen Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Human Jurkat T cells were infected with 200 μl EV-A71 at 10(3) cell culture infective dose 50%(CCID50)/ml. The expression of TLR1-TLR10 mRNA in human Jurkat T cells was assessed at different exposure time by RT-PCR. Levels of TLR7 mRNA expression were detected by real-time PCR, and levels of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) by western blot. The cytokine secretion of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and Tumor Necrosis Factor α (TNF-α) was analyzed by ELISA assay.

RESULTSThe relative expression level of TLR7 mRNA in human Jurkat T cells were 1.26 ± 0.15, 1.75 ± 0.20, 2.26 ± 0.23 and 3.74 ± 0.62 in 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after EV-A71 infection, which the differences were significant with mock-infected group(t values were -2.96, -6.38, -9.57, -7.71; P<0.05). Western blot showed that the protein expression levels of MyD88 had increased 1.34 times and 2.17 times in 24 h and 48 h after EV-A71 infection compared with mock-infected group. After infected for 24 h and 48 h, the levels of IL-6 were (302.86 ± 38.11), (179.70 ± 14.50) pg/ml, which were significantly higher than mock-infected group (176.42 ± 9.60), (179.70 ± 14.50) pg/ml (t values were -5.57, -18.54, P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α in EV-A71 infected group (100.81 ± 9.81) pg/ml was higher than that in mock-infected group (56.19 ± 6.94) pg/ml, and the difference was significant (t=-6.43, P=0.003).

CONCLUSIONTLR7 is the main pattern recognition receptor responsible for EV-A71 recognition in immune cells, which then leads to the activation of TLR7 downstream signaling and the production of proinflammatory cytokines.

Brain science accelerates the study of intelligence and behavior, contributes fundamental insights into human cognition, and offers prospective treatments for brain disease. Faced with the challenges posed by imaging technologies and deep learning computational models, big data and high-performance computing (HPC) play essential roles in studying brain function, brain diseases, and large-scale brain models or connectomes. We review the driving forces behind big data and HPC methods applied to brain science, including deep learning, powerful data analysis capabilities, and computational performance solutions, each of which can be used to improve diagnostic accuracy and research output. This work reinforces predictions that big data and HPC will continue to improve brain science by making ultrahigh-performance analysis possible, by improving data standardization and sharing, and by providing new neuromorphic insights.

OBJECTIVETo study the causes of orchiectomy in different age groups.

METHODSWe retrospectively reviewed the clinical data about 291 cases of orchiectomy performed between March 1993 and October 2014 and analyzed the causes of surgery and their distribution in different age groups.

RESULTSThe main causes of orchiectomy were testicular torsion (45.8%), cryptorchidism (32.5%) and testicular tumor (16.9%) in the patients aged 0-25 years, testicular tumor (42.4%), cryptorchidism (25.9%) and tuberculosis (10.6%) in those aged 26-50 years. Prostate cancer was the leading cause in those aged 51-75 years (77.6%) or older (84.0%)), and testicular tumor was another cause in the 51-75 years old men (10.2%). Prostate cancer, testicular tumor, cryptorchidism, and testicular torsion were the first four causes of orchiectomy between 1993 and 2009. From 2010 to 2014, however, testicular tumor rose to the top while prostate cancer dropped to the fourth place.

CONCLUSIONThe causes of orchiectomy vary in different age groups. The proportion of castration for prostate cancer patients significantly reduced in the past five years, which might be attributed to the improvement of comprehensive health care service.

OBJECTIVESThe value of supraomohyoid neck dissection used in treating oral squamous cell carcinoma was discussed.

METHODSTwenty-seven cN0 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma were entered into the study. Supraomohyoid neck dissection was performed to remove the lymphatic tissue of level I, II, and III. The operation duration and shoulder function were recorded.

RESULTSThe average operation duration was (1.6 +/- 0.2) h. Nineteen percent (5/27) of the cN0 neck were proved positive pathologically which included two cases in level I and four in level II (one case had both level I and II metastases). Shoulder function recovered in three months after operation. All patients were followed up from two years to four years and none of them had local or neck recurrence.

CONCLUSIONSSupraomohyoid neck dissection is a right choice for cN0 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma with its advantages in both curing neck lymphatic metastases and preserving neck and shoulder contours and functions.
