Objective To prove the existence of dry eye in children and to learn the clinical characteristics of them. Design Prospective observational case series. Participants 38 cases(76 eyes) of suspected children of dry eye diagnosed by adult standard and 38 normal children subjects. Methods 38 suspected child patients were studied who were diagnosed clinically with dry eye by adult standard, and were followed up 6 months. The control group consisted of 38 normal children with no significant difference in age. Dry eye examinations including Schirmer test, break-up time(BUT) and fluorescein staining were performed on these two groups. Following items were recorded in 38 suspected children of dry eye, including symptoms and causations. Main Outcome Measures Symptoms, Schirmer test, BUT and fluorescein staining. Results In the 38 suspected patients, frequent blinking was the most common symptom in 21 cases(55.26%), followed by dryness (15 cases, 39.47%), redness (14 cases, 36.84%) and photosensitivity (14 cases, 36.84%). The Schirmer test and BUT were decreased remarkably in the suspected patients compared to those of normal subjects (P=0.0000). In both groups, right eyes were correlated with left eyes in both Schirmer test and BUT. Between these two groups, Schirmer test was nol correlated with BUT. In the suspected patients, the results of BUT and fluorescein staining were improved (P

Objective To understand the effects of reform on clinical teaching taking patient's symptoms as the starting point and to investigate students' recognition degree towards this reform and their information feedback.Methods Totally 42 clinical students of the second clinical medical college (the second class) of China Three Gorges University were enrolled in the study and clinical teaching taking patient's symptoms as the starting point was conducted.Thirty-nine clinical students of the second clinical medical college (the fourth class) were enrolled as control group and traditional method was conducted.Effects of clinical teaching were evaluated by examination score and students' recognition degree towards this reform was investigated by self-made questionnaire and information feedback.Data were processed using SPSS 13.0 statistical software; t tests were used to compare students' scores of theoretical test and skill test; P ＜ 0.05 signifies that the difference is statistically significant.Results There was no statistical difference in theoretical test score between experiment group and control group (P ＞ 0.05).Skill test scores were higher in experiment group than in control group (P＜0.01).Students highly admitted this teaching mode and they thought that this mode can improve their self-study ability,clinical practice skill and clinical thinking ability without influencing their theoretical learning.Conclusions Practice of clinical teaching taking patient's symptoms as the starting point is feasible,which can increase scores of skill test significantly without influencing scores of theoretical test.

The criterion of injury severity is an important part of evaluation,which can affect the treatment for closed fracture.The reaction in soft tissue healing process contains microvascular responses and inflammation.Take soft tissue with low immunity as a incision will lead to wound dehiscence and deep infection.Therefore,realization of injury severity lays a foundation for effective treating with closed fracture.Many treatment methods,such as splint fixation,cryotherapy,compression or delayed operation,can prevent soft tissue from a second injury,and promote self-repair ability prior to operation.The newly development surgical tech-nique can improve efficacy of therapy,meantime,decrease the incidence of complications.

The glucose metabolism pathways including glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation in vivo.The metabolism of tumor cells depends on glycolysis,which enhances the adaptability of tumor cells to the microenvironment and promotes the proliferation of tumor cells,which is called Warburg effect.Arsenic is one of the chemical pollutants,which is widely distributed in natural environment.International agency for research on cancer (IARC) has made it clear that arsenic and its compounds are carcinogens.However,the mechanism of carcinogenesis induced by arsenic still remains obscure.Recently,researchers have found that Warburg effect plays an important role in the process of arsenic carcinogenesis.In this paper,we have reviewed the definition and function of glycolysis,its relationship with inflammation and tumorigenesis,and the role of Warburg effect in arsenic carcinogenesis.

Objective To investigate colonization of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs)in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)newborns on admission.Methods From April to November 2013,293 newborns who admitted to NICU of a hospital were screened for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)by nasal and throat swabs and for extended-spectrumβ-lactamases (ESBLs)bacteria and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE)by anal swabs.Results Of 293 newborns,61 were detected MDROs (20.82%).The positive rate of MDROs screening in newborns aged <3 days(5.92%)was lower than those aged <3-6 days(37.74%)and 7-28 days (43.66%), the difference was significant (P =0.000).The major colonized MDROs were ESBLs-producing bacteria(83.60%), the major colonized site was anus(88.52%).Conclusion Neonatal anus and stool are important sources of MDROs in NICU;more attention should be paid to colonization screening for MDROs by anal swabs in newborns aged >3 days,and appropriate isolation measures should be taken for positive screening patients to prevent the transmission of MDROs.

Objective:To investigate the functional mechanism of circular RNA signal-induced proliferation-associated gene 1(circSIPA1L1) on proliferation, migration and invasion of renal cell carcinoma cells, as well as to explore its mechanism.Methods:The study was completed between January 2019 and December 2019. Bioinformatics was used to analyze the expression of circular RNA(circRNA), circSIPA1L1 in renal cancer tissue and the information of circSIPA1L1. The expression of circSIPA1L1 mRNA, miR-22-3p in renal cancer tissues and renal cancer cells was detected by RT-qPCR. The circSIPA1L1 interference vector negative control (si-NC group), circSIPA1L1 interference vector (si-circSIPA1L1 group), si-circSIPA1L1+ miR-22-3p suppression vector plasmid negative control (anti-miR-NC group), si-circSIPA1L1 + miR-22-3p inhibition vector plasmid (anti-miR-22-3p group) were transfected into A498 and OSRC2 cells respectively. Dual luciferase reporter gene experiment was used to verify the targeting relationship. Clone formation experiment and Transwell chamber were used to detect cell proliferation, migration and invasion. The xenograft model was established by subcutaneous injection of A498/sh-circSIPA1L1 or A498/sh-NC (2×10 6 in 0.2 ml PBS/mice) on the right back of nude mice, and nude mice were divided into sh-circSIPA1L1 group and sh-NC group. Nude mice tumor formation experiments were used to detect tumor formation ability. Results:The expression of circSIPA1L1 mRNA in adjacent tissues and renal cancer tissues were (1.09±0.44) and (3.89±1.35) respectively. The expression of miR-22-3p were (1.02±0.30) and (0.44±0.19)respectively. The difference of the expression of circSIPA1L1 mRNA and miR-22-3p in kidney cancer tissue and adjacent tissues were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with normal kidney cell KiMA, the expression of circSIPA1L1 mRNA in renal cancer cells A498 and OSRC2 was increased, and the expression of miR-22-3p was decreased ( P<0.05). The cell clone number of A498 and OSRC2 in the si-circSIPA1L1 group (130.67±15.04, 99.00±14.80) was lower than that in the si-NC group (314.33±29.57, 234.67±21.50), the number of cell migration (108.33±17.01, 85.67±11.93) was lower than si-NC group (265.00±20.00, 210.33±18.58), cell invasion number (84.00±12.00, 66.00±10.15) was lower than si-NC group (210.33±18.58, 173.00±17.52), and the differences were all statistically significant ( P< 0.05). CircSIPA1L1 targets and negatively regulates miR-22-3p expression. The cell clone number of A498 and OSRC2 in the si-circSIPA1L1+ anti-miR-22-3p group (234.20±21.90, 185.06±20.72) was higher than that in the si-circSIPA1L1+ anti-miR-NC group (134.65±26.55, 106.14±16.38), the migration cell number (187.02±23.54, 117.86 ±15.09) was higher than that of the si-circSIPA1L1+ anti-miR-NC group (110.59±12.12, 91.70±14.83), and the number of cell invasion (168.23±11.69, 103.70±9.23) was higher than that of the si-circSIPA1L1+ anti-miR-NC group (90.46±11.53, 61.35±9.10). The differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05). The tumor volumes of nude mice in the sh-NC group and sh-circSIPA1L1 group on day 35 were (578.65±68.67) mm 3 and (242.56±42.35) mm 3 respectively, the tumor weights of nude mice were (0.68±0.06) g and (0.38±0.04) g respectively, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:CircSIPA1L1 can promote the deterioration of renal cancer, promote the proliferation, migration, invasion of cancer cells and tumor growth. The mechanism of action is related to the direct targeting of miR-22-3p.

0.05). Conclusion There are MA and mutation of p53 gene in T-cell lymphoma though no significant correlation between them. But, MA positive cases might experience high mutation of p53 gene in T-cell lymphoma.

Objective:To study the effect of retinoic acid (RA) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on neural stem cells’(NSCs) proliferation and differentiation from new born rats’ pallium. Method: NSCs were isolated from the brains of new born Sprague-Dawley rats’ pallium, and the features of cells were characterized by immunofluorescence staining. The effects of different culture medium on survival and proliferation of cells were determined by MTT assay. The effects of bFGF and RA on differentiation of NSCs were observed. Results: MTT assay indicated the proliferation of cells in bFGF group, bFGF+RA group and RA group was continually increased, highest in bFGF group. The percentage of neurons differentiated from NSCs in RA group was 2 or 3 times that in bFGF group and control group . Conclusion: bFGF is important to the proliferation and long-term living of NSCs. It can prohibit the differentiation of NSCs. RA can counteract the effects of bFGF and also promote NSCs to differentiate into neurons in vitro.
