Matrix metalloproteases(MMPs)and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteases(TIMPs) have a co-regulation of changes of the extraeellular matrix(ECM).MMPs can control the proteases which are related to the process of tumor development.Moreover,MMPs,produced by host cells including inflammatory ceUs,endothelial cells,pericytes and fibroblasts have a positive or negative correlation with tumor formation.

Objective]To discuss and analyze Professor Cheng Jing's clinical experience for treating decline in ovarian reserve(DOR). [Method]Through learning from the tutor in the outpatient service and case studies ,we analyzed and summarized Pro. Cheng's recognition on the etiology and pathogenesis of DOR,together with his dialectical way of thinking, combined therapy of Chinese and western medicine ,and empirical prescriptions. [Result] Pro. Cheng believes that this disease lies in the kidneys as wel as in the thoroughfare and conception meridian ,the pathogenesis is kidney deficiency and the imbalance of the thoroughfare and conception meridian,or combined with the stagnation of liver qi,spleen deficiency,and blood stasis and phlegm fire (heat); the therapy is mainly nourishing and warming kidneys as wel as conditioning the thoroughfare and conception meridian ,combined with Chinese medicine's periodical therapy,such as adjusting the circulation of qi and blood in livers,spleens,hearts and other organs. [Conclusions] Pro. Cheng's combined therapy of Chinese and western medicine for curing DOR ,of which his empirical prescriptions the Bushenyichongkangshuaitang is the main part,is of remarkable curative effect and significant clinical value.

The pathogenesis of migraine is not fully understood as yet. Recently, with the development of ultrasonography, some stud-ies indicated that the prevalence of right-to-left shunt (RLS) seemed to be higher in migraine, especially in migraine with aura. The progress in the relationship between migraine and RLS was reviewed.

Objective To identify the patient satisfaction on follow-up service from the community health service (CHS) or West China hospital (WCH) and to compare the patient satisfaction on follow-up service from CHS and WCH.Methods A cross-sectional survey was used in this study to identify the patient satisfaction on day surgery.The questionnaires were self-made through literature review.Purposive sampling was used in collecting the data.Results Totally 758 qualified questionnaires were collected.The proportions of qualified questionnaires were 96.3％.Respectively,79.3％ of patients were completely satisfied with follow-up service from WCH,19.3％ of patients were partly satisfied,and 1.4％ of patients were completely dissatisfied.66.7％ of patients were completely satisfied with follow-up service from CHS,33.3％ of patients were partly satisfied with follow-up service from CHS,and no objects were completely dissatisfied.Conclusions Patient satisfaction on follow-up services from WCH was higher than CHS.It is essential to enhance follow-up services from CHS.

Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia is a rare disease, which is characterized by the obstruction of lymphatic return, dilated lymphatics and distorted structure of villi. Lymph fluid leaks into the small bowel lumen as a result of the obstruction of lymphatics and elevated pressure of lymphatics, and leads to malabsorption and loss of proteins. The causes and pathogenesis of PIL are not clear, hut the abnormal immunologic mechanism has got people's attention. Recently, the endoscopic technique has been improved, and the diagnosis rate of PIL has increased obviously. Antisecosis is the basic and effective treatment, especially for children.

Objective To investigate the expression of miR-199b in colorectal cancer and the effect of miR-199b on metastasis of colorectal cancer.Methods The expression of miR-199b in colorectal cancer was assessed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).The miR-199boverexpressed human colon tumor-116 (HCT-116) stable cell lines was constructed by lentivirus assay.The effects of miR-199b on the migration and invasion of colorectal cancer were confirmed by Transwell assay.Bioinformatics,luciferase reporter assay,and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were performed to verify the potential target genes of miR-199b.Results miR-199b was at lower level in cancerous tissues comparing to the corresponding noncancerous tissues.Up-regulation of miR-199b significantly blocked the migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells.Co-transfection of miR-199b and VEGFA wild type (WT)3'untranslated region (3'UTR) could inhibit the luciferase activity,while there was no significant difference when co-transfection with mutant (MT) 3'UTR.The protein level of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) after overexpression of miR-199b was repressed,which was validated by ELISA.Conclusions miR-199b was a new colorectal cancer suppressor miRNA,which inhibited tumor migration and invasion by negatively regulating VEGF.

Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) is characterized by chronic non-specific inflammatory dis ease.The inflammation caused by abnormal immune response in intestinal mucosa exerts an important role in the pathogenesis of IBD.T helper 17 cells(Th17)are involved in the development of chronic inflammation and auto immune disease,whereas regulatory T cells can inhibit the function of autoimmune,and thus the balance of Th17/Treg balance plays an important role in intestinal homeostasis.Various strategies can be done to modulate Th17/Treg balance,such as antigen-presenting cells,microoganisms,some key molecules,natural compounds,proving a promising therapeutic method for IBD.

AIM:To investigate the validity of Rorschach inkblot method (RIM) in personality research by calculating the correlation of RIM with 16 personality factor questionnaire (16 PF).METHODS: Totally 70 undergraduates participated in the examination with RIM and 16 PF, then the correlations of all the variables of two measuring techniques were calculated. Standard score of comprehensive system was used in RIM.RESULTS: Some important Rorschach variables were correlated significantly with 16PF factors, and the correlations are consistent with their meaning. Some variables correlated with 16PF factors but were irrelevant in meaning.CONCLUSION: The results support the validity of RIM in personality study, and they also demonstrate that comprehensive system cannot well annotate RIM, but the meaning of some variables should be further researched.

The early diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma is difficult, and the prognosis is poor. The molecular mechanisms underlying the development, growth and metastatic spread of biliary tract cancers are still unclear. The increase in worldwide incidence and mortality of cholangiocarcinoma justifies the impellent need to clarify the intracellular mechanisms triggering the malignant transformation of the biliary epithelium and growth of biliary malignancies. A more complete characterization of the molecular pathology of bile duct cancers could lead to the identification of valid targets for diagnosis and therapy of these devastating malignancies. This review describes the scientific progress made over the past years with regard to the understanding of the molecular processes of cholangiocarcinogenesis.
