The theory of cancer stem cells (CSCs) provides a new perspective for the study of cancer. CSCs doctrine presumes that tumor cells are heterogeneity, and there are cancer stem-like cells in tumors, whose proliferation is uncon-trolled. The cancer stem-like cells could form tumors from only few cells, who only account for a very small part of all the tu-mor cells. These cells with stem cells characteristics could form different extend of differentiation of tumor cells and work as source of tumor growth, recurrence and metastasis. miRNAs are widely-existed non-coding small RNAs, which regulate 1/3 of all human genes and participate in a series of essential processes of life. More and more evidences indicate that miRNAs contribute significantly to cancer generation and development. They may exhibit oncogenic activity and act as tumor suppres-sors. As one of the post-transcriptional controlling factors, they regulate biological processes of tumor related genes exten-sively and specific miRNAs expression profiles were shown in different cancers. The research of miRNA about CSCs has be-come very hot. Some studies have confirmed that miRNAs play a very important role in a variety of CSCs, which act as a new target for tumor therapy. Researchers have found that some specific miRNAs express in plasma of cancer patients, which can be used as tumor markers to assist diagnosis and prognosis. This review focused on current progress of research in function of miRNAs in CSCs and its role as tumor markers.

Objective The microcapsules were prepared by using chitosan and sodium alginate as wall materials,and the controlled-release microcapsulas of interferon tau were hoped to be develop an oral interferon preparation.Methods The microcapsules were prepared by using syringe hand-made drop.In the process of dropping,speed and distance were the major factors which influence the form of microcapsules.Results Chitosanalginate microcapsules which was prepared simple and fast had high encapsulation rate and extended-release effect in intestine.Conclusion Chitosan-alginate microcapsules have the potential to be used to prepare interferon tau and other protein medicines.

This paper validated the centrode of six-bar mechanism was similar to circle center curve for different bending radius of the lemur, and introduced the gait analysis of knee joint of six-bar mechanism in normal movement t oprovide theoretical design foundation for developing a new knee joint.

Objective To study the feature of brain functional in front gyrus,anterior cingulate cortex and hippocampus of patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).Methods 19 patients with GAD and 20 healthy volunteers were scanned on brain using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (1H-MRS).The levels of Choline (Cho),Creatine (Cr),N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA) were measured in the frontal gyrus,anterior cingulate cortex and hippocampus of all subjects.The 1H-MRS data were compared between two groups.Results Compared with the healthy matched control,the levels of Cho (7.22 ± 1.99),Cr (5.44 ± 1.68),NAA (12.09 ±2.30)in right frontal gyrus white matter,the levels of Cho(9.89 ±2.40),Cr(8.59 ± 1.71) in right anterior cingulate cortex and the levels of NAA in left anterior cingulate cortex were significantly high (P ＜ 0.05).The ratio of NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr were not difference in two groups.In the hippocampus of the patients,the Cho,Cr,NAA,NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr ratio were not significantly higher or lower than those in control (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The brain substance metabolisms of the patients with GAD are abnormal and asymmetrical between left and right brain,especially occurred in right brain.

Objective:To explore the relationship between anxiety and mental resilience of caregivers for community-dwelling dementia patients.Methods:Patients in four communities who met the diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer's disease(AD)were randomly selected and their caregivers served as study subjects.General characteristics, anxiety and resilience of caregivers(n=592)were investigated with a questionnaire developed by ourselves, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 Scale(GAD-7), and the Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale(CDRISC).Results:There were 592 subjects in the study, with 185 cases(31.3%)having anxiety.Differences in manifestations of anxiety existed between caregivers for AD patients in different age groups( P<0.01). Anxiety levels were also influenced by AD patient caregivers' gender, educational level and blood relationship to the patient( P<0.05). The differences were reflected in tenacity( F=72.58), strength( F=82.19), optimism( F=12.57)and the total elasticity score( F=162.88). The Spearman correlation was used to analyze the association of caregiver anxiety with caregivers' general characteristics and domains of psychological resilience.The results showed that anxiety was negatively correlated with gender( r=-0.09, P<0.05), education level( r=-0.112, P<0.01), blood relationship( r=-0.122, P<0.01), psychoelasticity and three other domains( r=-0.457, -0.495, -0.208, -0.60, all P<0.01), but was positively correlated with age( r=0.127, P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that psychoelasticity was a protective factor for anxiety in caregivers for community-dwelling AD patients( β=-0.323, P<0.05). Conclusions:While treating Alzheimer's patients, clinicians can consider psychotherapy measures to improve the psychological resilience of their caregivers.
