Objective To identify the miR-122 which regulateing GATA4 expression during the induction of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bMSCs) differentiating into cardiomyocyte-like cells. Methods BMSCs were isolat-ed from bone marrow and induced to differentiate into cardiomyocyte-like cells using 5-azacytidine. The miR-122 which may regulate expression of GATA4 were predicted using miRanda and TargetScan softwares and identified by dual luciferase report system. The expressions of miR-122 and GATA4 were determined using q-PCR during the differentiation of bMSCs into cardiomyocyte-like cells. Results The induced cells were completely in contacted with adjoining cells and uniform in shape and aligned parallelly. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) expression was detected by immunofluorescence cytochemistry. Using dual luciferase reporter system in vitro, miR-122 were proved to be able to effectively inhibit GATA4 expression by binding the 3′UTR of GATA4 mRNA. q-PCR results showed that the expression of miR-122 is negatively correlated with that of GATA4 mRNA transcription. Conclusion These results indicated that miR-122 regulate the expression of GATA4 during the induction of cardiomyocyte-like cells.

Objective The aim of this study was to analyse characteristics of CRC in a cohort under the age of 40 .Methods Using single center retrospective cohort study ,we reviewed the prospectively collected database of 2 897 colorectal cancer patients who had undergone curative CRC resections in Chongqing Medical University between 2010 and 2014 .175 patients (5 .8% ) were under 40 ,in which six patients for various reasons (including recurrent colorectal cancer hospital ,incomplete information ,etc .) were excluded .A group of 180 consecutive patients over the age of 40 undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer in the same centre was used as control .Results There had no difference in tumor classification and tumor location between the younger group (<40) and the older group(>40) ,but the lymph node positive rate in younger group was higher ,unable to accurately grasp the preopera‐tive lymph node status ,lead to lack of preoperative staging ,and that made it difficult to preoperative treatment options .Conclusion Therefore ,to young people in colorectal preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiation indications and the assurance of intraoperative re‐section range ,we need to do more consideration.

Objective To understand the characteristics of minipigs infected withJapanese encephalitis virus(JEV).Methods After the brain tissues were treated, the pig brain tissue treatment solution was inoculated with BHK21 cells.Then, virus culture,indirect immunofluorescence assay, neutralization test, electron microscopic observation, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification of the new isolate E segment and PrM segment nucleotide sequence were performed and the genotype was identified.Results BHK21 cells were inoculated into 25 pigbrain tissues.Among them, three tissue-treated fluid couldinduce shrinkage and aggregation of BHK21 cells, and immunofluorescence staining showed strong green fluorescence response.The results of neutralization test showed that the neutralization titer of these three new isolates was 1:64, and the size of the virus particles was about 40nm under the electron microscope.The homology of both RT-PCR product sequencing results and E-segment of vaccine strain were 95%.Three new isolates were type GIII JEV.Conclusion The results ofthisstudydemonstrate that there is G III type Japanese encephalitis virus infection in the minipig farm.

Objective:To analyze the progress of the contracting service model in community health centers in the typical areas in China, and provide empirical evidence for the hierarchical system targeted to make first contact and orderly dual transfer. Methods: Purposive sampling was adopted. Twelve community health centers in Beijing, Shanghai , Zhengzhou and Chengdu areas where the general practitioner model was conducted earlier and set to be the representative one, were selected as the field survey sites. A thematic framework analysis was used to describe the key factors around the contacting service model. Results:This model was developed around the following key factors:using the general practice team as the main service provider, taking the patients with chronic diseases as the main contracting groups and extending to their family members with the number of contracted ranging around 1500~2000 , freely providing both essential public health and medical services, fully using the family physician room as the con-tracting service platform and highlighting the actively serving concept, building the financial and non-financial incen-tives, health insurance benefits and green transfer mechanisms in order to efficiently guarantee the contracting service development. Conclusions: Based on the information platform, the contracting service model in the sample sites played a great role in the appointment and referral services development as well as the self-health management among residents, improving the relationship between physicians and patients, and promoting the formation of orderly health service pursuing pattern.

Objective To establish a real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR ( Q-PCR) method for detection of feline herpesvirus 1 ( FHV-1 ) in experiment cats and clinical sick cats.Methods Primers and TaqMan probes were designed and synthesized according to the published FHV-1 specific sequences of TK gene.FHV DNA standards were prepared using molecular biological techniques.The linearity, specificity, sensitivity, stability of the established Q-PCR method were tested.The method was used to detect 48 samples of cats.Results The linear range was 102 copies/μL to 109 copies/μL.The developed Q-PCR method showed no cross reaction with herpes virus type 1 ( HSV-1 ) , canine herpesvirus (CHV), pig pseudo rabies virus (PRV) and cat parvovirus (FPV).The sensitivity was 10 copies/μL.The coefficient of variation ( CV ) was less than 5%.There were 33 positive cases detected in the 48 samples of cats. Conclusions The developed Q-PCR method is good in linearity, specificity, sensitivity, stability, and may be used for rapid quantitative detection of FHV-1 in cats.

Objective: To explore the utilization and effects of informatization in perfecting the community health service mode. Method:Through purposive sampling, 12 community health service centers in Beijing, Shang-hai, Chengdu, and Zhengzhou were selected for site investigation. The heads of the health administrative department and community health service centers were interviewed, with a focus on the construction and utilization of the local community health informatization and a discussion of the role of informatization in perfecting the community health service mode. Results:The information systems can be divided into core systems, core auxiliary systems, and periph-eral support systems. Informatization provides strong support to perfecting the community health service mode in opti-mizing the service process, improving work efficiency, strengthening institutional cooperation, promoting quality regu-lation, optimizing performance appraisal, and strengthening doctor-patient interaction. Conclusion: Informatization plays a key role in perfecting the community health service mode. Recommendations were proposed to strengthen community health informatization construction and utilization:optimizing service processes, promoting the efficient co-ordination of safe health services, optimizing performance appraisals, and strengthening doctor-patient interaction.
