Objective To detect the expression of multidrug resistance proteins P-gp, LRP, MRP, and analyze the relationship between them and the clinicopathological factors. Methods The expression of P-gp,LRP, MRP in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections was determined by a labelled StreptavidinPeroxidase (SP) immunohistochemical technique, and the results were analyzed in correlation with clinicopathological data. None of these patients received chemotherapy prior to surgery. Results The positive rates of P-gp, LRP, MRP were 86.4 %, 84.7 % and 27.1%, respectively. The difference between the positive rate of P-gp and MRP was significant statistically, as well as the difference between the expression of MRP and LRP. No significant difference was observed between P-gp and LRP, but the positively correlation between the expression of P-gp and LRP was observed. No significant correlation between the expression of P-gp, LRP, MRP and the grade of differentiation were observed. The expression of P-gp was correlated with clinical stages positively (r=0.742), but the difference with the expression of P-gp in different stages was not significant. Conclusion The expression of P-gp, LRP, MRP in patients with gastric cancer without prior chemotherapy are high and indicates that innate drug resistance may exist in gastric cancer.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of the treatment of dry eye with liver-meridian constraint-heat syndrome by Runmu Xiaoyao Powder (润目逍遥散) by miR-146a-5p and interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1/tumour necrosis factor receptor associated factor 6/nuclear factor-κB (IRAK1/TRAF6/NF-κB) signalling pathway. MethodsEighty C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, agonist group, inhibitor group, sodium hyaluronate group, and Runmu Xiaoyao Powder high-, medium-, and low-dose groups, with 10 mice in each group. Except for the normal group, the mice of dry eye with liver-meridian constraint-heat syndrome were modeled by using benzalkonium chloride solution eye drops combined with chronic pain stimulation. Beginning on the 30th day of modelling, mice in Runmu Xiaoyao Powder high-, medium-, and low-dose groups were given 29, 14.5, and 7.25 g/kg of Runmu Xiaoyao Powder respectively twice daily by gavage; mice in sodium hyaluronate group were given 5 μl of sodium hyaluronate drops twice daily; mice in the agonist group were given 2 nmol of agomir-146a-5p drops in each eye at a time, and those in the inhibitor group were given 5 nmol of antagomir-146a-5p drops in each eye, with every other day, 3 times per week; mice in the normal and model groups were gavaged with deionised water at 1 ml/(100 g·d). The intervention was continued for 14 days in each group, and mice in each group were examined for tear secretion, tear film rupture time, corneal fluorescein staining, and irritability scores on the day following the last intervention; HE staining was used to observe the pathological conditions of the cornea and lacrimal glands in each group; corneal and lacrimal gland inflammatory factors, such as interleukin 1β (IL-1β), tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α), miR-146a-5p expression, were examined; matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) expression in cornea, IRAK1, TRAF6, nuclear factor κB p65 (NF-κB p65) protein and mRNA expression in cornea and lacrimal gland, and phosphorylated nuclear factor κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65) protein expression were detected. ResultsCompared with the normal group, mice in the model group showed reduced tear secretion, shorter tear film rupture time, higher irritability score (P<0.05), and pathological examination showed staining in the centre of the cornea, obvious corneal damage, increased volume of lacrimal gland follicular cells, disordered arrangement, a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration, and increased neovascularisation; corneal and lacrimal gland tissues showed elevated expression of IL-1β and TNF-α, decreased expression of miR -146a-5p, elevated expression of IRAK1, TRAF6, NF-κB p65, p-NF-κB p65 protein and IRAK1, TRAF6, NF-κB p65 mRNA, and elevated expression of MMP-3, MMP-9 protein in the cornea (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, all of the above indexes were significantly improved in high-dose group of Runmu Xiaoyao Powder, while some indexes were improved in the sodium hyaluronate group and the middle- and low-dose Runmu Xiaoyao Powder groups (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, corneal and lacrimal IRAK1 and TRAF6 mRNA and IRAK1, TRAF6 and p-NF-κB p65 protein expression decreased in the agonist group; compared with the inhibitor group, IRAK1, TRAF6, NF-κB p65 mRNA and protein expression in the cornea and lacrimal gland in the Runmu Xiaoyao Powder groups decreased (P<0.05). ConclusionRunmu Xiaoyao Powder can negatively regulate the IRAK1/TRAF6/NF-κB signalling pathway in the cornea and lacrimal gland of mice with dry eye of liver-meridian constraint-heat syndrome by up-regulation of miR-146a-5p, so as to inhibit inflammatory response and reduce the damage of the ocular surface tissues, and the high doses group showed the best effect.

Objective:To establish the normal reference value of lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) under quantitative CT (QCT) in Chinese healthy adult females and to explore the regional differences.Methods:Total of 35 431 healthy women who met the inclusion criteria of Chinese health quantitative CT big data program were selected in this study. The BMD of the central plane of L 1 and L 2 vertebrae was measured by Mindways′s QCT system, and the mean value was taken. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the BMD differences of lumbar vertebrae in women of different ages and regions. The subjects were grouped by an age interval of 10 years, and the level of BMD in different regions of the same age group were compaired. Results:The peak BMD of Chinese healthy adult women appeared in the age group of 20-29 years (Northeast China(183.01±24.58) mg/cm 3, North China (188.93±24.80) mg/cm 3, East China (187.54±27.71) mg/cm 3, South China (186.22±33.72) mg/cm 3, Central China (176.33±24.91) mg/cm 3, Southwest China(182.25±28.00) mg/cm 3), and then it decreased with age. The level of BMD in different regions decreased with the age. Before the age of 70 years, BMD in Central and Southwest China was always at a low level((176.23±24.91) to (90.38±28.12) mg/cm 3, 182.25±28.00 to (88.55±25.68) mg/cm 3), lower than those in Northeast China ((183.01±24.58) to (99.69±27.85) mg/cm 3), North China ((188.93±24.80) to (95.89±26.12) mg/cm 3), East China ((187.54±27.71) to (95.65±27.86) mg/cm 3). After 70 years of age, BMD tended to be the same in different regions ( P>0.05). The BMD values in Central China and Southwest China were similar in the age group of 40-60 years ( P>0.05). The BMD values in the health adult femles in the age group of 60 years in different regions of Chinawere all lower than those of bone mass abnormality (all P<0.05). The detection rate of osteoporosis in females over 50 years was the highest in Southwest China (25.65%) and it was the lowest in North China (17.30%). Conclusions:This study establishes reference values of BMD under QCT in healthy Chinese women, which can be used as a reference basis for identifying women with low BMD who are at risk of osteoporosis. The BMD value is the lowest in Southwest China and the highest in South China.

Objective:
To assess value of immediate postoperative intravesical instillation of pirarubicin after transurethral resection (TURBT)of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Methods:
484 patients diagnosed with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University were divided into two groups after transurethral resection of bladder tumor. 285 patients received postoperative intravesical instillation of pirarubicin within 6 hours after the surgery, 199 patients received first instillation of pirarubicin at 10 days after the surgery, after that, all the patients received routine bladder perfusion chemotherapy. Patients who received intravesical instillation of pirarubicin within 6 hours were defined as immediate intravesical instillation group and the other patients as the control group. Based on the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer risk tables, scores of recurrence and progression of patients were calculated and then stratified into risk groups accordingly. Recurrence and progression rates of the immediate intravesical instillation group were analyzed and then compared with the corresponding reference of the risk tables.
Results:
The 1-year and 5-year recurrence rate of patients with EORTC table scoring 0 in the immediate intravesical instillation group were significantly lower than that of the EORTC reference group (5.3% and 14.0% vs 15.0% and 31.0%,
