Objective To analyze the effect of X-irradiation on the proteins expression of p57kip2 and TGF-β1 in lung cancer cell stain A549 and its clinical significance.Methods Lung cancer cell stain A549 was cultivated and cell,protein was extracted at 6,12,24,36 and 48 hours after X-irradiation by differenl doses(2,4, 8 and 12 Gy).The expression of p57kip2 and TGF-β1 proteins were examined by Western blot.Results The expression of p57kip2 in lung cancer cell stain A549 was very low before X-irradiation.and increased significantly after irradiation with difierent doses and reached the peak level at 12 hours after irradiation(P<0.05).TGF-β1 reached its peak 1evel at 6 hours after irradiation(P<0.05).Conclusions X-irradiation can up-regulate the expression of p57kip2 and TGF-β1 proteins which increased with certain doses.p57kip2 and TGF-β1 could be usedto predict the damage degree of cancer cells by X-ray.

Objective: To investigate the effects of FGFR1OP and p57/Kip2 proteins on the genesis and progression of gliomas and their clinical significance. Methods: The expression of FGFR1OP and p57/Kip2 in 54 glioma specimens was detected by SP immunohistochemical technique. The relationship between the ex-pression levels of those proteins and various clinical pathologic factors was evaluated. Results: The expres-sion of FGFR1OP and p57/Kip2 was found in 66.7% and 44.4% gliomas, respectively. The OD value of FG-FR1OP was 0.131±0.010 in high grade gliomas, and 0.118±0.010 in low grade ones, with a statistical signifi-cance (t=-5.497, P=0.000), showing that higher expression of FGFR1OP was significantly associated with glo-ma cell differentiation. The OD value of p57/Kip2 was 0.156±0.008 in high grade gliomas, and 0.165±0.006 in low grade ones, with a statistical significance (t=0.296, P=0.014), showing that lower p57/Kip2 expression was correlated with high grade gliomas. FGFR1OP was negatively correlated with p57/Kip2 in gliomas (r=-0.732, P<0.01). Conclusion: Increased expression of FGFR1OP and/or decreased expression of p57/Kip2 may play an important role in the genesis and progression of gliomas and may indicate a poor prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo explore the reasonable therapeutic strategy for different types of epicanthus.
METHODSPatients with epicanthus were classificated according to the shape, extent and inner canthal distance and treated with different methods appropriately. Modified asymmetric Z plasty with two curve method was used in lower eyelid type epicanthus, inner canthus type epicanthus and severe upper eyelid type epicanthus. Moderate upper epicanthus underwent '-' shape method. Mild Upper epicanthus in two conditions which underwent nasal augumentation and double eyelid formation with normal inner canthal distance need no correction surgery. The other mild epicanthus underwent '-' shape method.
RESULTSA total of 66 cases underwent the classification and the appropriate treatment. All wounds healed well. During 3 to 12 months follow-up period, all epicanthus were corrected completely with natural contour and unconspicuous scars. All patients were satisfied with the results.
CONCLUSIONSClassification of epicanthus hosed on the shape, extent and inner canthal distance and correction with appropriate methods is a reasonable therapeutic strategy.

OBJECTIVETo explore the therapeutic effect of the temporal rotation flap combined with cartilage plasty for cryptotia correction.
METHODSFrom January 2009 to June 2012, 8 cases with cryptotia (10 ears) were treated. After complete dissection of the cartilage adhesion, the cartilage was reshaped by suture to restore its appearance. Then the temporal triangular rotation flap was transferred to cover the wound.
RESULTSNo hematoma, infection or flap necrosis happened. The follow-up period ranged from 3 months to 1 year, with an average of (6.88 +/- 2.85) months. The ear appearance kept stable with no recurrence and inconspicuous scar. Satisfactory result was achieved.
CONCLUSIONTemporal rotation flap combined with cartilage plasty is a good option for correction of mild or moderate cryptotia.

Objective To evaluate local moderate hypothermia technology on acute brain hemorrhage cases.Methods 100 patients of cerebral hemorrhage were randomly divided into two groups(moderate hypothermia groupand control group). The moderate hypothermia group was 50 cases treated with moderate hypothermia after routine treatment,the control group was 50 cases with routine treatment. The two groups were assessed after treatment for 21 days. Results The group treated via moderate hypothermia therapy showed the nerve function damages relatively lower than the control group(P < 0.05), and the surviving probability and curative ratio were significant higher than the control group(P< 0.05 ). Conclusion The local moderate hypothermia therapy for acute cerebral hemorrhage patient in clinical can significantly improve the never cell function and reduce mortality and disablement.

Objective To explore the expressions of c-Met and c-Src in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and its relationship with clinical pathological characters and prognosis. Methods The c-Met and c-Src expressions were detected by immunohistochemistry in 88 patients with NSCLC from April 2011 to January 2013. The relationship between the expressions of c-Met and c-Src and clinical pathological features and prognosis were analyzed. Results The c-Met and c-Src were all significantly expressed in NSCLC tissues, and no expression showed in interstitial and normal lung tissues. The expressions of c-Met and c-Src in patients with NSCLC were associated with sex, differentiation, pathology type, T staging and TNM staging (P<0.05 or <0.01); and the expression of c-Met was associated with lymph node metastasis (P<0.01). The expressions of c-Met and c-Src in patients with NSCLC were not associated with age, and the expression of c-Src was not associated with lymph node metastasis (P>0.05). Pearson correlation analysis result showed that the expressions of c-Met and c-Src in lung cancer tissues was positive correlation (r=0.662, P<0.01). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis result showed that the disease free survival time (DFS) and overall survival time (OS) in c-Met high expression patients (51 cases) were significantly shorter than those in c-Met low expression patients (37 cases): (18.08 ± 1.34) months vs. (23.76 ± 1.79) months and (33.63 ± 1.95) months vs. (42.24 ± 2.68) months, the DFS and OS in c-Src high expression patients (25 cases) were significantly shorter than those in c-Src low expression patients (63 cases): (16.96 ± 2.56) months vs. (21.86 ± 1.15) months and (27.84 ± 2.89) months vs. (40.98 ± 1.81) months, the DFS and OS in both c-Met and c-Src high expression patients (25 cases) were significantly shorter than those in both c-Met and c-Src low expression patients (37 cases): (16.96 ± 2.56) months vs. (23.76 ± 1.79) months and (27.84 ± 2.89) months vs. (42.24 ± 2.68) months, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Cox multiplicity result showed that T staging (RR=2.174, 95%CI 1.354 to 3.490, P=0.001) and high expressions of c-Met and c-Src (RR=1.447, 95%CI 1.114 to 1.880, P=0.006) were the independent risk factors of DFS in patients with NSCLC;pathology type (RR=0.610, 95%CI 0.377 to 0.986, P=0.044), T staging (RR=2.215, 95%CI 1.357 to 3.616, P=0.001) and high expressions of c-Met and c-Src (RR=1.979, 95%CI 1.455 to 2.692, P = 0.000) were the independent risk factors of OS in patients with NSCLC. Conclusions The c-Met and c-Src are involved in the development of NSCLC and affect the prognosis of patients with NSCLC.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, among which more than half of non-small cell lung cancer had been locally advanced or distant metastasis at the time of diagnosis.Therefore,it has a poor prognosis.In recent years,long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)has drawn great attention in the field of oncology.Abnormally expression of lncRNA plays an important role in the development of non-small cell lung cancer through different transcriptional, post-transcriptional or epigenetic mechanisms.This review summarizes the current literature on lncRNA in non-small cell lung cancer, introduces the functions and influences of lncRNA in the biology of non-small cell lung cancer and highlights its clinical potential value as a tumor biomarker and potential therapeutic target.
