As the development of robotic surgery in urology, the simulation training platform is playing an important role in the training of urologists on robotic surgery training.Currently, the available training simulators for urological robotic surgery are composed of virtual simulators such as VR and AR, and physical (mechanical) simulators such as dry-lab and wet-lab.The reality and validity of various simulation training platforms have been validated in different degree by many researches, which demonstrated the useful and helpful effect on the training and improving of robotic surgery skills.However, we need further study to develop more useful and precise training modules, to integrate advantages of different simulators, and to establish more reasonable learning curve.

Purpose To investigate the effects of hypoxia inducible factor-2α (HIF-2ot) siRNA on proliferation and chemotherapy sensitivity of breast carcinoma MCF-7.Methods RNA interference was used to silence the expression of HIF-2α in MCF-7 cells.The changes of HIF-2α gene expression were detected by immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR.Under hypoxia environment simulated by CoCl2,MTT assay and flow cytometry (FCM) were used to measure cell growth inhibition rate and cell apoptosis of MCF-7 cells under different dosages of chemotherapeutic agents (5-fluorouracil,adriamycin,and paclitaxel).Results Expression of HIF-2α in MCF-7 were down-regulated by HIF-2α siRNA (P ＜ 0.05).The proliferation inhibition and apoptosis rates were evidently increased after transfection with HIF-2α siRNA (P ＜ 0.05),chemotherapy drug sensitivity was enhanced.Conclusion HIF-2α siRNA can induce the apoptosis and inhibit the proliferation and enhance the sensitivity of breast carcinoma MCF-7 cell line to chemotherapeutic agents.Blocking HIF-2α maybe a very promising strategy for breast carcinoma gene therapy in combination with chemotherapy.

Objective To explore the correlations between measurements of Doppler velocity waveform parameters of fetal main pulmonary artery and gestation age (GA) in normal fetus. Methods This is a cross-sectional study, in which totally 252 normal singleton fetuses between 23 and 40 weeks of gestation were divided into 10 groups. The following velocity waveform parameters were measured in the main trunk of fetal pulmonary artery by Doppler ultrasound: acceleration time(AT), ejection time(ET), acceleration time/ejection time(AT/ET), peak systolic velocity(PSV), end diastolic velocity(EDV), mean velocity(MV), pulsatility index(PI) and resistance index(RI). The normal reference values of Doppler velocity waveform parameters at various GA were established. A scatter diagram of each parameter against GA was plotted out. The optimal formula was selected out according to the correlation and regression analysis. Results Among 252 normal fetuses, satisfactory Doppler velocity waveform of fetal main pulmonary were achieved in 249 (98.8%, 249/252). Among these parameters, AT, AT/ET, PSV, EDV and MV increased with increasing GA(F=343.23, 96.012, 8.649, 2.158, 10.169, all P<0.05), while PI decreased slightly(F=2.346, P<0.05) and ET, RI had no signiifcant changing(F=0.883, 1.534, both P>0.05). Signiifcant and positive linear correlations were found between parameters of AT, AT/ET, PSV, EDV, MV and GA(r= 0.898, 0.868, 0.446, 0.203, 0.507, all P<0.01);while PI was inversely linear correlated with GA(r=-0.184, P<0.01) and ET, RI had no correlation with GA(r=-0.103, 0.011, both P>0.05). Conclusions The fetal main pulmonary artery could be a reliable sampling point to obtain pulmonary velocity waveform by Doppler ultrasound. Doppler velocity waveform parameters have correlations with GA in normal fetus;among which AT and AT/ET were the best.

[Objective] To explore the risk factors for mortality of bloodstream infections in the patients with hematologic diseases,so as to provide evidence for reasonable and effective application of treatments.[Methods] The clinical data of 242 cases of bloodstream infections who were hospitalized from Jan 2012 to Jun 2016 were analyzed retrospectively,then the analysis was performed for risk factors.The statistical analysis was processed by SPSS 19.0.[Results] A total of 266 strains of pathogens were isolated,including 99 strains of gram-positive bacteria,accounting for 37.2％,and 164 strains of gram-negative bacteria,accounting for 61.7％.Multivariate analysis showed that the significant independent risk factors for mortality were active states of hematologic diseases (P =0.007,OR =5.622,95％ CI 1.586 ～ 19.924),presentation with septic shock(P =0.007,OR =4.978,95％ CI 1.560 ～15.884),cardiac insufficiency (P =0.001,OR =11.878,95％ CI 2.760 ～ 51.120),level of albumin less than 35 g/L (P =0.036,OR =3.468,95％ CI 1.087 ～ 11.066),polymicrobial infection (P =0.010,OR =6.024,95％ CI 1.540 ～ 23.563),and Staphylococcus haemolyticus (P =0.001,OR =19.308,95％ CI 3.392 ～ 109.888)/Enterococcus (P =0.002,OR =15.266,95％ CI 2.817 ～82.728) infection.The survival curves show that the inappropriate initial antimicrobial therapy group or presentation with any one of the independent risk factors had a lower probability of survival than the control group.[Conclusions] Bloodstream infections in patients may cause high mortality rate,so it is necessary that we use antibiotic reasonably and spare no effort to reduce the mortality rate by appropriate application of antimicrobial therapy and effective intervention of the risk factors.

Objective To evaluate the correlation of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CDH13 with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) . Methods 115 patients with NSCLC and 110 healthy controls were included in present study. Two SNPs (rs11646213 and rs7195409) in CDH13 were genotyped using TaqMan method. The association of these two SNPs with NSCLC was calculated and assessed. Results The genotypic and allelic frequencies of rs11646213 showed significant difference between NSCLC patients and the control group (P<0.05), (OR=0.464, 95% CI:0.273~0.789) . The genotypic and allelic frequencies of rs7195409 showed significant difference between the stage I+II and stage III+IV groups (P<0.05), (OR=0.491, 95% CI:0.243~0.991) . Conclusions The rs16146213 has a strong association with NSCLC and G allelic showed a protective effect. The rs7195409 has a strong association between stage I+II and III+IV in NSCLC, and G allele may play a protective role in the development of NSCLC.

Due to the insufficient supply of embryonated chicken eggs,the preparation of large quantities of inactivated influenza vaccines will require an alternative virus culture system after the emergence or reemergence of a pandemic influenza virus.The Vero cell is one of the ideal options since it was used for producing many kinds of human vaccines.However,most of the influenza viruses can not grow well in Vero cells.To develop a new influenza vaccine with Vero cells as a substrate,the virus needs to adapt to this cell substrate to maintain high growth characteristics.By serial passages in Vero cells,the B/Yunnan/2/2005va(B)strain was successfully adapted to Vero cells,with the hemagglutination titer(HAT)of the virus reaching 1:512.The high growth characteristic of this strain is stable up to 21 passages.The strain was identified by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI)test and sequencing respectively;the HA;gene sequence of the virus was cloned and analyzed.The screening and establishment of high growth B virus provides an important tool for influenza vaccine production in Vero cells.
