The community - based healthcare service is a main component of healthcare service system in China,and its development is affected by several factors including correlative ethical issues.In order to maintain a long - term and stable development of community - based healthcare service,great importance should be attached to some concerned ethical issues,such as the human - oriented service,intimacy of patients,the interests of disadvantaged group,etc.

Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignancies worldwide.Previous studies have shown that microRNA-449b (miR-449b) functions as a tumor suppressor in many cancers.However,the role of miR-449b in NSCLC is still unknown.In the present study,miR-449b was significantly downregulated in NSCLC samples and cell lines.Bioinformatics analysis revealed that 3'-UTR region of leucine rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 4 (LGR4) mRNA had putative complementary sequences to miR-449b,which was further confirmed by the luciferase assay.Western blotting showed that restoration of miR-449b in NSCLC cells decreased the expression of LGR4.Interestingly,over-expression of miR-449b inhibited growth and invasion of NSCLC cells in vitro.Furthermore,ectopic expression of LGR4 reversed miR-449b-suppressed proliferation and invasion of NSCLC cells.Therefore,the data of the present study demonstrate that miR-449b inhibits tumor cell growth and invasion by targeting LGR4 in NSCLC.

To study the clinical application of Jintian'ge capsule in treatment of vertebral compression fracture in senile osteoporosis patients. In the study, 69 senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture patients hospitalized in our hospital between January 2012 and June 2014 were selected and randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group. Patients in the control group were treated by percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP), while those in the treatment group were given Jintian'ge capsule in addition to PKP. Efforts were made to visit the patients before the surgery and in three month after that, observe and compared the vertebral height, Cobb's angle, bone density, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index between patients in the two groups. According to the findings, compared with before the treatment, patients in the two groups showed significant improvements in the vertebral height, Cobb's angle, bone density, VAS and Oswestry disability index three months after the surgery (P < 0.05); During the visit three months after the treatment, compared with the control group, the treatment group showed notable increases in all parameters (P < 0.05), particularly in the vertebral height, VAS and Oswestry disability index (P < 0.05). Based on the above findings, Jintian'ge capsule is applicable in adjuvant therapy after the osteoporotic vertebral compression facture PKP surgery.

The aim of this research is to refine the protocol of purification of SA and identify the character of SA. By utilizing the cold-denaturing method, most of other kinds of protein were screened out and SA was purified from the fermentation broth of L-183 by using the refined affinity chromatography method. The rate of recollection was checked to be 75%～85%. By identification, it is indicated that the molecular weight of self-made SA was 74.5kD, the biotin-combining number 3.2, the activity 11.2u/mg, the pI around 7.4. So, the essential characters of SA are same as described by documents.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of stretch on sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-Mg2+ ATPases activity and mRNA level and study the remodeling reaction of muscle in a variety of mechanical environments.

METHODSMyoblast from maxillofacial skeletal muscle of one-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rat was cultured and stretched cyclicly using a four-point bend device. Inorganic Phosphorus test was used to compare the activity of Ca2+-Mg2+ ATPases of myoblast before and after stretch. RT-PCR was also used to observe the Ca2+-Mg2+ ATPases mRNA level.

RESULTSThe activity of Ca2+-Mg2+ ATPases of myoblast down regulated significantly in 4 hours. During the period of 8 hours to 24 hours, up-regulation followed then returned to control level at the 48 hour point. RT-PCR showed that Ca2+-Mg2+ ATPases mRNA level were elevated by stretch, particularly at 2 hour and 48 hour point.

CONCLUSIONThe results suggested a transcriptional control of Ca2+-Mg2+ ATPases activity was involved in the muscle remodeling process induced by stretch.

OBJECTIVETo observe the changes of electrocardiogram (ECG) and pregnancy outcome of the late pregnancy women.

METHODSLate pregnancy women were divided into two groups by age: over 35 group and under 35 group. The incidence of abnormal electrocardiogram was recorded when the patients were subjected to routine ECG examination. Then the pregnancy, delivery outcome and if there's low birth weight newborn were recorded later.

RESULTSThe incidence of abnormal ECG in over 35 group was significantly higher than that in under 35 group (P < 0.05). And the incidence of ST segment changes, arrhythmia in the group of former was higher than that in the group of latter (P < 0.05). Among the different type of arrhythmia, the incidence of sinus bradycardia and ventricular premature beat in the group of former were higher than those in the group of latter (P < 0.05). But the incidence of sinus tachycardia in the former group was obviously lower than that in the latter group (P < 0.05). The incidence of pregnancy loss in over 35 with abnormal ECG group was significantly higher than that in under 35 with normal or abnormal ECG groups (P < 0.05). The incidence of premature birth in over 35 with abnormal ECG group was significantly higher than that in over 35 with normal ECG group (P < 0.05). The incidence of low body weight in over 35 with abnormal ECG group was significantly higher than that in under 35 with normal ECG group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe late pregnancy women with the age of over 35 are more likely to have ECG abnormalities, such as arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia and so on. The older pregnant women with abnormal ECG easily suffer from pregnancy losing, premature birth and having a low birth weight baby.

To investigate the clinical features and principles of diagnosis and treatment of early postoperative inflammatory ileus (EPII). The clinical data of 69 patients with EPII treated in this hospital were retrospectively reviewed. EPII mostly occurred in 3-11d after abdominal surgery, and the average time was 5d. Sixty two cases were cured in a mean period of (22±13)d through combination therapy including gastroenteral decompression, somatostatin, dexamethasone and total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Seven cases were cured by operation. EPII is a special type of early intestinal obstruction which often occurs in two weeks after abdominal operation. Its typical symptoms are abdominal distension; conservative therapy is effective for most cases and reoperation is usually contradicted.

Plant samples were collected and investigated periodically. According to the growth of different parts and the characteristics of dry substance accumulation of Scrophularia ningpoensis, the development of S. ningpoensis could be divided into four stages: seeding stage, stem and leaf growth stage, expanding period of root tubers, and dry substance accumulation stage of root tuber. Leaf numbers of S. ningpoensis grew gradually from one at first to 370 at the final stage, main stem leaf were 50 pieces. Leaf size increasesed with the fastest growth at the stem and leaf growth stage, average daily increase amount was 225 cm2. By the middle of August, leaf size reached to 16,270 cm2. Leaf area indexrose sharply in the seeding stage, and remained above 8 among stem and leaf growth stage and expanding period of root tubers, and rapidly reduced to zero in the stage of dry substance accumulation of root tuber. Leaf area ratio has a tendency of obvious dropping. The net assimilation rate had a small change ranges, two small peak were seeding stage and dry substance accumulation of root tuber. The value of specific leaf area was higher in seeding stage, and in the earlier stage of dry substance accumulation of root tuber. Relative growth rate changed with large ranges, higher in seeding stage, rapid decrease in stem and leaf growth stage, rose in expanding period of root tubers, and declined again in the stage of dry substance accumulation of root tuber. Crop growth rate was higher in the first and last stages, and smaller in interim stage. The growth parameters of S. ningpoensis such as relative growth rate, net assimilation rate, leaf area index, leaf area ratio, specific leaf area, crop growth rate changed along with the growth. The rule of dry matter accumulation was as follows: the dry matter increased slowly during the seeding stage and speeded up in the middle and late stages, and in dry substance accumulation of root tuber increased slower, the growth of dry matter all appeared an "S" curve, and accorded with logistic equation. Cultivation technologies of S. ningpoensis and the relevant management methods could be established according to the growth of different parts of S. ningpoensis and the characteristics of dry substance accumulation in different stage.

Contrary to being an idle bystander,the surrounding tumor microenvironment or stroma,actively participates in,and contributes to tumor progression directly or indirectly.It is evident that tumor stromal cells exhibit specific tumor-suppressive and tumor-promoting abilities that serve to regulate neoplastic growth of the epithelium.Due to the mounting evidence demonstrating the far-reaching effects of stroma during the process of malignant transformation,the involvement of stroma in cancer progression has become an area of intense investigations in recent years.
