Objective:To study the function and mechanism of miR-30a in rat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.Methods:The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was established by intravascular suture method, and the expression of miR-30a in brain tissue was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). After intracerebroventricular injection of miR-30a lentivirus, the infarct area was detected by 2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazole chloride (TTC) staining, the neurological deficit was detected by Bederson method, and the concentration of neurotrophin-3 (3-NT) and nitric oxide (NO) in brain tissue was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The protein levels of kelch like ECH associated protein 1 (Keap1), NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) and hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) in brain tissue were detected by Western blot. Double luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the targeting relationship between miR-30a and Keap1.Results:Compared with sham operation group, the expression of miR-30a was down-regulated in a time-dependent manner after I/R. The overexpression of miR-30a can reduce the area of cerebral infarction tissue at the pathological level, the degree of neurological impairment at the functional level, the 3-NT, NO and Keap1 at the molecular level, and enhance the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1. The dual luciferase reporter assay also showed that miR-30a could bind to Keap1 mRNA.Conclusions:The expression of miR-30a was down-regulated in MCAO rat brain tissue, and miR-30a could attenuate cerebral I/R injury in rats by targeting Keap1.

Background and purpose:Visceral pleural invasion (VPI) and vessel invasion (VI) are poor prognostic factors in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary initial recurrence site may be local recurrence in VPI and distant metastasis in VI. The purpose of this study was to validate the prognostic impact and effect of the initial recurrence site of VPI and VI on survival outcomes for NSCLC.Methods:Two hundred and ninety patients who were diagnosed as having NSCLC and underwent lobectomy between Jan. 2007 and Dec. 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. VPI was identiifed in 51 patients as VPI group, the other 239 patients without VPI as non-VPI group. VI was identiifed in 29 patients as VI group, the other 261 patients without VI as non-VI group. Clinical characteristics, overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) were compared.Results:There were statistically signiifcant differences between VPI group and non-VPI group in tumor size, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage and initial recurrence site (P<0.05). Furthermore, there were statistically signiifcant differences between VI group and non-VI group in lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P<0.05). The 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rates in VPI group (88.2%, 56.7% and 52.7%) were lower than those in non-VPI group (95.8%, 83.7% and 74.0%,P<0.001). The 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rates in VI group (79.3%, 56.8% and 48.7%) were lower than those in non-VI group (96.1%, 81.3% and
72.3%,P=0.001). Cox regression showed TNM stage was a significant prognostic factor for DFS, whereas lymph node metastasis and VPI were signiifcant prognostic factors in patients with NSCLC.Conclusion:The primary initial recurrence site in VPI patients is local recurrence. Patients with VPI or VI may need more postoperative therapy because of their poor prognosis.

This paper overviewed typical government compensation sources and practices for public hospitals in the world.Government compensation should be made based on regional health planning,while the central government shoulders greater compensation responsibility.The fee-for-case mix is found to be the best incentive The government adjusts its funding baselines for different hospitals to adjust the compensation.In view of the compensation for public hospitals in China,the paper analyzed the enlightenments and lessons from international experiences The authors recommend an evolution from the pattern of compensation per person/per bed,to payment by service unit or volume(for example,per outpatient or emergency visit and days of stay),and in the end to that of payment per disease.

Objective To study the relation between the expression of drug-resistance gene and in vitro drug sensitivity test in ovarian carcinoma and clinical biological behavior.Methods In 60 primarily treated patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma,the expression of COX-2,Connexin43(CX43)and P-gp was detected using flow cytometry.Sensitivity of cells of short term in vitro culture to anticancer drugs was also examined by the game techniques.Remits The expression level of COX-2 was higher in tissue with DDP-resistance patients than those with sensitivity patients but the expression level of CX43 was lower in tissue with DDP-resistance and Taxol-resistanee patients than those with sensitivity patients.The expression level of P-gp was higher in tissue with VP16-resistance patients than those with sensitivity patients.The sensitivity of DDP,Taxol and VP16 was lower in tissue with higher expression of COX-2 and P-gp than those with lower expression of COX-2 and P-gp.The sensitivity of DDP and Taxol was higher in tissue with higher expression of CX43 than those with lower expression of CX43.Conclusion The in vitro sensitivity of some of the drugs is effected by tissues with expression of COX-2,P-gp and CX43.It is not only useful but also individualized treatment for application of sensitive drug test and detecting the expression of COX-2,P-gP and CX43 to increase the response rate of chemotherapy in patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma.

Objective To study the effect of synthesized peptide S247 on the activation of p38MAPK of ventilator- induced lung injury.Methods Thirty healthy male SD rats were divided into group A,group B,group C,n 10.All rats were performed with mechanical ventilation,group A with tidal volume(V_T)8 ml/kg,breathing rate(p)80/min;group B with tidal volume(V_T)40 ml/kg,breathing rate(p)=80/min;group C with tidal volume(V_T)40 ml/kg,breathing rate(p)80/min.The rats in group C were intraperitoneally injected with synthesized peptide S247(100 mg/kg)once a day for a week.The time of ventilation in all groups was two hours.Rats were sacrificed after the experiment was finished. The lung lavage liquid and lung tissue were collected and stored with correct methods.The measured indexes included lung pathology change,total protein,WBC,MPO and MIP-2.The expression of p38 and p-p38 were measured by Western Blot in lung tissue.Results Compared with group A,total protein,WBC,MPO,MIP-2 and p-p38 significantly increased in group B;compared with group B,total protein,WBC,MPO,MIP-2 and p-p38 significandy decreased in group C. Conclusion Synthesized peptide S247 significantly inhibited the activation of p38 and relieved the degree of ventilator induced lung injury.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical outcomes of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).

METHODSFrom January 2007 to February 2010, the data of 40 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture underwent treatment were retrospectively analyzed. Of them,20 patients were treated with PVP (PVP group), there were 8 males and 12 females with an average age of (66.37 +/- 2.34) years old (54 to 81); 20 patients were treated with PKP (PKP group), there were 11 males and 9 females with an average of (65.12 +/- 3.21) years old (56 to 79). Postoperative at 1 week, 12 weeks, 1 year, pain and daily life function were respectively assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) and Barthel index (BI); and anterior height of responsibility vertebra, Cobb angle were measured by X-rays.

RESULTSIn PVP group, 1 case complicated with bone cement leakage without clinical symptoms and no operation to treat. No postoperative infection and deep vein thrombosis were found between two groups. All patients were followed up more than 1 year, pain and daily life function has obviously improved than preoperative (P < 0.01); and there was no significant difference on 1 week, 12 weeks, 1 year after operation (P > 0.05); there was no significant difference between two groups (P > 0.05). In PVP group, there was no significant difference in anterior height of responsibility vertebra, Cobb angle before and after operation;and in PKP group, postoperative data has obviously improved than preoperative (P < 0.01), but there was no significant difference postoperative at 1 week, 12 weeks, 1 year (P > 0.05); there was no significant difference between two groups at 1 week, 12 weeks, 1 year after operation.

CONCLUSIONBoth the methods can obviously relieve pain and completely or partly recover daily life function in treating OVCF. But PKP has advantages of recovery of anterior height of responsibility vertebra and correction of Cobb angle, especially for serious compression.

Objective To investigate the effect of sepsis on vecuronium-induced inhibition of acetylcholine release in neuromuscular junction in rats.Methods Thirty-six adult male SPF SpragueDawley rats,aged 2-3 months,weighing 200-220 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=12 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),sham operation group (group S) and sepsis group (group Sep).Sepsis was induced by cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) in rats anesthetized with intraperitoneal chloral hydrate 350 mg/kg.At 12 h after CLP,the sciatic nerve-pretibial muscle was prepared.Vecuronium was added to the culture medium with the final concentration of 0.08 μg/ml,and the sciatic nerve-pretibial muscle was incubated for 15 min.Before and after administration,evoked endplate potentials (EPPs) and miniature endplate potentiais (MEPPs) were recorded by using intracellular microelectrode.EPP/MEPP ratio was calculated.Results Compared to C and S groups,EPPs,MEPPs and EPP/MEPP ratio were significantly increased before and after administration in group Sep.EPPs,MEPPs and EPP/MEPP ratio were significantly lower after administration than before administration in the three groups.Conclusion Sepsis can promote acetylcholine release in neuromuscular junction,thus weakening vecuronium-induced inhibition of acetylcholine release in neuromuscular junction in rats.

Objective To summarize and analyze the surgical therapies for liver and gastric multiple primary cancers. Methods The clinical data of 14 patients with liver and gastric carcinomas surgically treated in our hospital from January 2004 to January 2008 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of the 14 patients, 12 underwent simultaneous resection of liver and gastric carcinomas,1 resection of the gastric carcinoma 2 months after the liver surgery and 1 removal of liver cancer found 2 years after the surgery for antral adenocarcinoma. The median survival time of these patients was 23 months. The 1-and 3-year survival rate was 78.6% and 35.7%, respectively. Conclusion Due to different pathological characteristics, the therapies of liver and gastric multiple primary cancers are completely different from that of the recurring and metastatic carcinoma. Both tumors can be treated by radical resection and the effect is similar to single cancer. Positive treatment is crucial for long-term survival of the patients.
