Objective To investigate the role of ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) in the pathogenesis of rat hepatic fibrosis. Methods Intra-abdominal injection of dimethylnitrosamine was carried out to (establish) the model of rat experimental hepatic fibrosis. Immunofluorescent double labeling laser scanning (confocal) microscope was performed to detect the location of RSK, ?-smooth muscle actin(?-SMA) and the collagen type Ⅰ. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the correlation of the expression of RSK and collagen type Ⅰ, Ⅲ in the tissue of hepatic fibrosis. Results In the tissue of hepatic fibrosis, RSK was coexpressed with ?-SMA, and the collagen type Ⅰ located around RSK. The expression of RSK was also correlated with that of collagen type Ⅰ and Ⅲ( P

Objective: To identify Rehmanniae Radiuxand its closely related species using the ITS2 barcode and to guarantee the quality and clinical curative effect of this medical material. Method: The sequences has been ana-lyzed and assembled using corresponding software. The Kimura 2-Parameter (K2P) distances were calculated and NJ (neighbor-joining) tree was established based on the K2P methods to identify the Rehmanniae Radix. Results:The length of the ITS2 sequence of Rehmanniae Radix was 231 bp. The average intra-specific genetic distances of Rehmanniae Radix were 0.0004. The average inter-specific genetic distances between Rehmanniae Radix and its closely related species were 0.0312. The minimum inter-specific divergence is larger than the maximum intra-specific divergence. The Rehmanniae Radix can be identified using the NJ trees method. Conclusions: The ITS2 sequence can be used as DNA barcode to identify Rehmanniae Radix and its closely related species, which will lay the foundation for the clinical medication safety of Rehmanniae Radix.

Objective To determine the value of ischemia modified albumin,heart-type fatty acid-binding protein,B-type natri-uretic peptide and homocysteine in the risk stratification of patients with unstable angina pectoris;thus to provide an assessment for the condition of patients in clinic.Methods 135 patients with unstable angina were included in the disease group and subjected to risk stratification according to GRACE risk score software,70 cases of low-risk group,60 cases in the middle-risk group and 5 cases in the high-risk group.Another 145 healthy people were in the control group.The levels of ischemia modified albumin,heart-type fatty acid-binding protein,B-type natriuretic peptide and homocysteine were detected and compared.Results Between the control group and the disease group,significant difference of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein,B-type natriuretic peptide and homocys-teine was found (P <0.05),but the difference of ischemia modified albumin was not statistically significant(P >0.05).In the dis-ease group,the levels of ischemia modified albumin,heart-type fatty acid-binding protein and homocysteine in each risk stratification showed no significant difference(P >0.05).The level of B-type natriuretic peptide in high-risk group was higher than that in the low-risk group and in the middle-risk group and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05),while there was no statisti-cally significant difference between the low-risk group and the middle-risk group(P >0.05 ).Conclusion The detection of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein,B-type natriuretic peptide and homocysteine possesses certain meaning in diagnosing unstable angi-na,and the level of B-type natriuretic peptide indicates the risk degree of the disease.

Objective To evaluate the operative treatment of nonunion of humeral shaft fracture with in- ternal plate fixation and autogenous cancellous hone graft.Methods Forty-one cases of nonunion of humeral shaft fracture operatively treated from February 2002 to December 2004 were analyzed retrospectively.There were 32 males and nine females.Their average age was 37.5 years(range,17 to 67 years).Sixteen nonunions were defined as hypertrophic and 25 as atrophic.We followed all the patients and obtained their complete medical information. Results Our average follow-up was 22.6 months(range,8 to 42 months).Forty fractures(97.6%)were united within an average of 5.8 months(range,3 to 12 months).Complications included iatrogenic radial nerve injury in three patients,wound infection in one patient and fracture nonunion in one patient.At the final follow-up,shou]der and elbow functions were found to be satisfactory.Conclusion Open reduction and plate internal fixation sup- plemented with autogenous cancellous bone graft is an effective treatment for nonunion of humeral shaft fracture.

Objective To study the meaning of breast cancer staging system by AJCC eighth edition to invasive lobular carcinoma and analysis the clinical pathological characteristics.Methods According to the eighth edition of the AJCC staging to evaluate the TNM stage and prognosis evaluation of invasive lobular carcinoma cancer patient in Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from 2011 to 2016,and compared with others in clinical pathological data.Results There were 21 cases of invasive lobular carcinoma,accounting for 2.7％ of all invasive breast cancer.We found that invasive lobular carcinoma shows no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05) in ages,menstrual status,molecular features and anatomic staging and prognosis staging with others;histological grade were significantly different (P ＜ 0.05).There were significant differences in the prognosis and staging of invasive lobular carcinoma.Conclusions Eighth AJCC staging systemn provides a new reference for the clinical treatment of breast cancer,should be evaluated with anatomic stage.Histological grade is relatively good in invasive lobular carcinoma and the prognosis is good,needs more research to the individualized treatment of invasive lobular carcinoma.

A protocol for enrichment and adsorption of karyocyte from whole blood by using magnetic nanometer beads as solid-phase absorbents was presented. The PCR amplification could be accomplished by using the nanobeads with karyocyte as template directly and the PCR products were applied on an oligonucleotide array to do gene typing. The HLA-A PCR amplification system and a small HLA-A oligonucleotide microarray were applied as the platform and an experiment protocol of separating karyocyte from whole blood using the magnetic nanometer beads (Fe2O3) were set up. The experimental conditions were also discussed. It showed that pH level of PBS eluent, Taq enzyme quantity and fragment length of products could influent the amplification results, and the magnetic nano-beads could succeed in sample preparation in microarray to provide a promising way in automatic detection and lab-on-a-chip.

AIM:To observe and compare clinical effects of coaxial 1. 8mm microincision phacoemulsification and 3. 2mm small incision phacoemulsification.
●METHODS:A total of 117 eyes of 85 patients with age-related cataract in our hospital were divided randomly into two groups:43 patients (59 eyes) in the coaxial 1. 8 mm microincision cataract surgery group ( C - MlCS ) , 42 patients (58 eyes) in the coaxial 3. 2 mm traditional small incision cataract surgery group (C-SlCS). A total of 117 eyes were received phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. Uncorrected visual acuity was recorded preoperatively and postoperatively at 1, 7, 30 and 90d. The effective phacoemulsification time and average ultrasound energy were recorded in surgery. Corneal endothelial cell and corneal topography were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively at 90 d.
●RESULTS:Uncorrected visual acuity ( logMAR) was no overall statistical significance difference between C-MlCS group and C-SlCS group (P>0. 05), but was significant statistical difference in different time-point within both groups(P<0. 05). Uncorrected visual acuity in different time-point had nothing to do with corneal wound size in cataract surgery(P>0. 05). On the 1 day after surgery, uncorrected visual acuity was 0. 16±0. 11 in C-MlCS group and 0. 22±0. 18 in C-SlCS group(P<0. 05). AVE was (7. 00± 2.72)% in C-MlCS group and (6. 16±3. 16)% in C-SlCS group (P>0. 05). EPT was (3. 09±1. 61)s in C-MlCS group and (3. 20±1. 92)s in C-SlCS group (P>0. 05). At 90 d after surgery, corneal endothelial cell loss percentage was (5. 81±2. 28)% in C-MlCS group and (5. 69±2. 38)% in C-SlCS group (P>0.05), SlA was (0.35±0.11) Din C-MlCS group and (0. 61±0. 13) D in C-SlCS group (P<0. 05).
● CONCLUSION: Compared with coaxial 3. 2mm traditional small incision cataract surgery, 1. 8mm coaxial microincision cataract surgery can get earlier visual rehabilitation and significantly reduce SlA. The coaxial 1. 8mm microincision cataract surgery is safe, effective and deserves further clinical applications.
