Objective To investigate the effect of lysyl oxidase (LOX) gene expression on proliferation, invasion and radiotherapy sensitivity in laryngeal cancer Hep-2 cells. Methods Hep-2 cells were divided into control group (normal cultured), negative control group (transfection reagent) and transfection group (LOX siRNA transfected). The expressions of LOX, Ki-67, PCNA, MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA were detected by real time-PCR and Western blot methods. The cell sur-vival rate and apoptosis irradiated by different doses of X-rays (0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 Gy) were detected by MTT and flow cytometry (FCM). Results The expression levels of LOX, Ki-67, PCNA, MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein and mRNA were sig-nificantly lower in Hep-2 cells after transfection than those of control group and negative control group (P<0.05). The cell survival rate was significantly inhibited 24 hours after irradiation (12, 15 and 18 Gy) in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). The apoptotic rate of transfection cells combined with radiotherapy was significantly higher than that of control and the nega-tive control groups (%:79.11 ± 1.26 vs 5.01 ± 1.02, 4.95 ± 1.12, 43.21 ± 2.1,P<0.05). Conclusion The expression of LOX can be down-regulated after LOX siRNA transfection, inhibiting proliferation and enhancing radiosensitivity, which may be related to the down-regulation of Ki-67, PCNA, MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein expression.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of measles in the floating population in Daxing District from 2002 to 2015 and to provide a specific guidance for the control and preven-tion of measles. Methods The epidemiological characteristics of measles in the floating population in Dax-ing District were analyzed based on the data collected from Diseases Reporting Information System and Ques-tionnaires for measles cases. Results A total of 1 263 measles cases were reported in the floating population in Daxing District from 2002 to 2015, accounting for 73. 09% of all reported cases in that area. Among the 1 263 measles cases, 1 027 cases (81. 31%) were reported from March to June. The top 5 towns with high incidence of measles were Huangcun, Jiugong, Xihongmen, Yizhuang and Yinghai, from which 80. 29% of measles cases were reported. Age distribution of the measles cases showed that 145 cases were children younger than 8 months, 412 cases were children aged 8 months to 14 years old and the rest 706 cases were a-bove 14 years old. And of all cases, only 224 cases had measles vaccine immunization history. Conclusion It is necessary to maintain the high vaccination rate of 3 doses of measles vaccine by multi-approaches and increase the immunization rate in migrant workers. Moreover, strengthen the surveillance for measles is also an effective way for measles control and elimination.

Objective To investigate histopathological and ultrastructural differences between melasma tissues and normal skin tissues around pigmented nevus. Methods Eight patients with melasma and 16 patients with facial pigmented nevus were included in this study. Two millimeter punch biopsies were taken from melasma lesions and adjacent normal skin of facial pigmented nevus. Biopsy specimens were then subjected to hematoxylin?eosin (HE) staining, Fonton?Masson staining, Verhoeff?van Gieson staining, and immunohistochemical staining with monoclonal antibodies HMB45 and NKI/beteb. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the tissue specimens. Semi?quantitative analysis was performed under a light microscope, and quantitative analysis by using a computerized image analysis system. Results Histopathological study revealed increased number of melanin granules mainly in the basal and prickle cell layers, sometimes in the dermis, in melasma tissues compared with normal skin tissues. Melanocytes were only observed in the epidermis of melasma tissues. Compared with normal skin tissues, melasma tissues showed no significant difference in the quantity of melanocytes, but a significant increase in the volume, staining intensity and dendrite number of melanocytes. In all of the 8 patients with melasma, mild to moderate lymphocytic infiltration was observed in the superficial dermis and around capillaries, with moderate telangiectasis in the superficial dermis. Electron microscopy revealed that there were more melanosomes in melanocytes and keratinocytes, and melanocyte dendrites extended into the dermis in melasma tissues. Conclusions Among the 8 patients, there were only two types of melasma, i.e., epidermal melasma and mixed melasma, and no dermal melasma was found. Inflammation and telangiectasis may induce or aggravate melasma.
