Objective To investigate the action mechanism of microRNA‐152(miRNA‐152) in the cisplatin(DDP) resistance process in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) .Methods The miRNA‐152 level in NSCLC cell line A549 and its cisplatin‐resistant cell line A549/DDP was detected by the real time quantitative PCR(qRT‐PCR) .miRNA‐152 mimic was transfected for increasing the intracellular miRNA‐152 level in A549/DDP .The MTT assay ,inverted miroscope technique and flow cytometry were adopted to observe the effect of up‐regulating miRNA‐152 on cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis ,meanwhile ,the level changes of intra‐cellular Bcl‐2 and NF‐κB were also observed by adopting qRT‐PCR and Western blot .Results The low expression of miRNA‐152 and the high expression of Bcl‐2 and NF‐κB were found in A549/DDP cells .Up‐regulation of miRNA‐152 enhanced the inhibitory effect of DDP in A549/DDP cells .Furthermore ,after up‐regulating miRNA‐152 ,the inhibiting rate and apoptosis rate of A549/DDP cells caused by DDP were significantly higher than those in the cells without up‐regulating miRNA‐152 ,the difference was statisti‐cally significant(P<0 .05) .In addition ,miRNA‐152 mimic transfection significantly decreased the expression of Bcl‐2 and NF‐κB in A549/DDP cells .Conclusion Low expression of miRNA‐152 may induce the resistance of NSCLC to DDP ,miRNA‐152 could medi‐ate the sensitivity of NSCLC cells to DDP via regulating Bcl‐2 and NF‐κB levels .

Objective To study the synovial lesions of finger joint of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with high frequency ultrasound ( HFUS). Methods HFUS examination of finger joints of both hands were performed in 42 patients with RA and 30 healthy volunteers. The ultrasound findings of the finger joints in RA patients included intra-articular fluid,the thickness of synovial membrane,vascular proliferation. and the blood flow characteristics. Results The intra-articular fluid was found in 256 joints and the detection rate was 42. 38% (256/840). Synovial membrane hyperplasia was found in 223 joints with the detection rate of 26.55% (223/840). The detection rate of HFUS for vascular proliferation was 6.07% (51/840). Conclusions HFUS is an easy, safe and effective method for the diagnosis of RA thus providing useful evidences for clinical diagnosis.

Objective To compare the accuracy of bispectral index (BIS),Narcotrend index (NI),index of consciousness (IoC) versus auditory evoked potential index (AAI) in monitoring the depth of sedation induced by propofol.Methods Sixty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 41-64 yr,with body mass index 20-30 kg/m2,scheduled for elective surgeries under general anesthesia,were enrolled in the study.Propofol was given by target-controlled infusion (TCI) with the initial target effect-site concentration (Ce) of 0.8 μg/ml using Marsh pharmacokinetic model,and then the Ce of propofol was increased by 0.1 μg/ml,and OAA/S was performed.Before TCI of propofol,the values of BIS,NI,IoC and AAI were recorded,and at the same time the value of OAA/S score was 5.During TCI of propofol,when OAA/S score reached 4,3,2 and 1 in turn,the Ce of propofol was recorded,the sequence for determination of the values of BIS,NI,IoC and AAI was determined using a random number table,and the values were then recorded for 5 s after the values were stable and then averaged.The parameters for vital signs were maintained within the normal range.Pearson correlation of BIS,NI,IoC and AAI values with Ce of propofol was analyzed.Results The correlation coefficients of BIS,NI,IoC and AAI values with the Ce of propofol were rBIs-Ce =-0.829,rSI-Ce =-0.886,rloC-Ce =-0.881 and rAAI-Ce =-0.791,respectively.There was no significant difference between rBIS-Ce,rNI-Ce,rIoC-Ce and rAAI-Ce.Conclusion There are no significant differences in the accuracy of BIS,NI,IoC or AAI in monitoring the depth of sedation induced by propofol in middle-aged patients with non-noxious stimuli.

Acetabulum fracture, the inner fracture of the joint, has be en divided into 10 kinds. Because acetabulum is an irregular body, no single ope ration approach can solve all kinds of acetabular fracture. Appropriate selectio n of the operative approach according to the type of fracture is very important. Kocher-Langenbeck approach, extended-iliofemoral approach and ilioinguinal ap proach are often used in clinic now. Because of its complicated procedures and m any complications resulting from the approach, the application of extended-ilio femoral approach is decreasing. Because of its predominant advantage and improve ment of the operation techniques, the use of ilioinguinal approach is obviously increasing in proportion. Since the united approach can reveal clearly so that i t facilitates reduction and internal fixation, it is recommended by the surgeons at home and abroad.

Objective To design an anatomic locking plate for the posterior malleolus using 3D reconstruction CT of the ankle joint and software Mimics.Methods The CT data of 20 normal ankles were imported into software Mimics in.dicom format for 3D reconstruction of the ankle joint.The angles of posteromedial and posterolateral varus,the twist height on the sagittal plane and the height of safe screw placement zone,the width of the posterior malleolus were measured for the posterior malleolus.After the anatomic locking plate was designed using the anatomic data measured and software Ungraphics NX5.0,it was 3D printed in a proportion of 1:1.Next,the model plate was tested and evaluated in 15 fresh cadaveric specimens of the ankle all the soft tissues of which were removed to fully expose the bony structure of the posterior malleolus.Results The anatomic measurements showed that the angles of postemmedial and posterolateral varus increased gradually towards the medial and lateral sides along the central axis of the posterior malleolus while the twist height reduced from the lateral to the medial side,and that the width of the posterior malleolus increased gradually from the superior to the inferior.It was found that after placement in the 15 fresh cadaveric specimens the anatomic model plate fit the posterior malleolus very well,fulfilling all the designed requirements for the anatomic locking plate for the posterior malleolus.Conclusion A novel anatomic locking plate for the posterior malleolu has been successfully designed and manufactured using 3D reconstruction CT of the ankle joint,software Mimics and 3D printing.

Objective:To assess type C behavior in patients with oral lichen planus (OLP) in order to provide basis for clinical prevention,treatment and psychological intervention of OLP.Methods:Type C behavior scale was used on 85 OLP patients and 85 control patients,who were in accordance with the inclusion criteria,in order to investigate their type C behavior.The scale included 9 items:anxiety,depression,anger,anger toward inside (anger-in),anger toward outside (anger-out),reasoning,domination,optimism,and social support.Scores of the 9 items between OLP patients and control group were calculated under the instruction of the scale and were statistically analyzed,and OLP group was further stratified statistically by sex,reticulate-erosive-ulcerative (REU) pathological type and course of diseases,and the scores of each group were analyzed and compared.Results:Among the 85 OLP patients,there were more females,more non-erosive lesion type,and the most common site for OLP was the buccal mucosa.The scores of the type-C behavior questionnaire for anxiety,depression,anger and optimism were respectively 43.01 ± 7.47,44.02 ± 7.61,21.56 ± 5.26,22.15 ± 4.00 among the OLP patients and were 37.94 ±8.70,39.58 ±7.35,18.12 ±5.39,24.05 ±3.23 among control group,with significant differences (P ＜ 0.05 for all) between the two groups.The female OLP patients had higher anxiety,depression,anger scores (43.21 ± 6.97,44.29 ± 7.54,21.64 ± 5.09) and lower reasoning,domination,optimism scores (39.12 ±5.66,16.29 ±3.95,22.05 ±4.12) with significant differences (P ＜0.05 for all) compared with those of the female controls.The scores between male patients and male controls showed no significant difference.The patients with erosive lesions had higher anger score (22.94 ± 5.26) than that of the patients without erosive lesions (20.60 ± 5.03),with a significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).With the development of the disease,the tendency of anxiety and depression of the patients were more obvious,while optimism scores remained declining.The patients suffering more than 3 years of OLP had higher anger-toward-outside scores (17.36 ± 3.35) than the patients suffering less than 3 years of OLP (15.19±3.99),with a significant difference (P ＜0.05).Conclusion:OLP patients showed an obvious type C behavior characteristic,especially in anxiety,depression,anger and low optimism.This research provides the C behavior characteristic of OLP for further psychological consultation or intervention during OLP treatment.

Objective To observe the effect of low dosage of uhrashortwave(USW) on infarction volume, B cell lymphocytoma-xl (Bcl-xl) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-?) after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats and discuss its acting mechanisms. Methods Focal ischemia-reperfusion model was established in 25 rats by re- versible right middle cerebral artery occlusion with filament. The right side cerebral ischemia was lasted for 2 hours and then followed with 24 hours of reperfusion. The content of neurological deficits were evaluated by the Zea-Longa 5-degree scoring system to select rats. After surgery, the rats were divided into 3 groups: blank control group, control group and USW treatment group. The brain of all rats was taken at 24 hours after reperfusion. The cerebral infarction volume, the expression of Bcl-xl and TNF-?were measured and analyzed. Results Twenty-five rats were used in the analysis of results. When compared with the control group, the infarction volume and rate in total cerebral volume of USW group significantly decreased (t = 2.54, 2.33, P

Objective To explore the application of Oxybuprocaine Hydrochloride Gel in colonoscopy examination. Methods 1000 patients received colonoscopy examination were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 500 cases in each. Oxybuprocaine Hydrochloride Gel was applied on anal region in the experimental group before endoscopy for perianal anesthesia and lubrication. Paraffin oil was used in the control group to lubricate perianal and enteroscopy. The success rate of primary insertion, visual analogue pain score (VAS) score, examination time and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results In the experimental group, the success rate of primary insertion (95%) was higher than that of the control group (76%), and the pain score was lower than that of the control group.The examination time was shortened, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions Oxybuprocaine Hydrochloride Gel applied to colonoscopy can effectively reduce the patient's pain and discomfort, improve the success rate of primary insertion, shorten the examination time. And the method is worthy of clinical popularization and application.

Biosimilars are biological medicinal products that are highly similar to an already licensed reference product in terms of quality, safety, and efficacy. BAT1706 is being developed by Bio-Thera Solutions, Ltd. as a proposed biosimilar candidate to bevacizumab reference product (Avastin^®). Bevacizumab acts by specifically binding to vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), and preventing the interaction of VEGF-A with its receptors on the surface of endothelial cells, then blocking the downstream signaling pathway mediated by ligand-receptor, and inhibiting endothelial angiogenesis, thus inhibiting tumor growth. Comprehensive analytical characterization studies incorporating orthogonal analytical techniques were performed to compare the in vitro functional activities of BAT1706 and Avastin^®. BAT1706 and Avastin^® showed highly similar binding activity to multiple VEGF-A isoforms and equivalent VEGF-A neutralizing activity, as well as inhibitory activity of VEGF receptor (VEGFR)-2 tyrosine kinase autophosphorylation. Both products exhibited similar binding of the Fcγ receptors and a lack of Fc-related effector functions such as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Overall, the results demonstrate that BAT1706 and Avastin^® are highly similar in terms of in vitro functional activities.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of SLE patients complicated with Listeria monocytogenes meningitis (LMM).Methods The clinical manifestations,systemic involvements,laboratory tests,cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examinations,treatment and prognosis of SLE inpatients combined with LMM in Peking Union Medical College Hospital during Janurary 2000 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Eight SLE patients with LMM accounted for 0.14％ of the 5 675 hospitalized SLE patients.Seven were female and 1 was male,with the mean age of (35±16) year.Headache (7/8) was the most common neurological symptom followed by positive meningeal irritation sign (5/8),unconsciousness (3/8) and nausea or vomiting (2/8).Increased intracranial pressure was found in 7 cases and 4 of them were even higher than 330 mmH2O.CSF protein elevated in 6 cases and CSF glucose decreased in 6 cases.LMM often occurred in inactive or mild active SLE with the average SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) score of 4.7±1.5.Systemic manifestations included hematologic changes (6/8),rashes (4/8),renal involvement (4/8) and arthritis (3/8),etc.Treated by autibiotics such as penicillin and medications for SLE,7 patients achieved clinical improvements,1 patient died.Conclusion LMM is one of the opportunistic infections in SLE patients and tends to occur in inactive lupus cases.There are unspecific clinical and laboratory features and CSF changes which maybe overlap and mix up with systemic manifestations of SLE.That's why it is necessary to take continuous cultures of CSF.Early identification and appropriate treatment lead to prognostic improvement of these patients.
