Objective To investigate the expression of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand(TRAIL) and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor(TRAILR) in thyroid carcinoma. Methods Expression and distribution of TRAIL and TRAILR in thyroid tissues from 13 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma, 3 patients with follicular thyroid carcinoma and 5 normal necrospy subjects were studied by immunohistochemical methods. Results TRAIL and all of TRAILR immunoreactivity was observed in both thyroid tissues from papillary thyroid carcinoma and follicular thyroid carcinoma. TRAILR4 was expressed highly in all thyroid carcinoma tissues but weakly in normal thyroid tissues.Conclusion TRAIL and all of TRAILR were present in thyroid tissues of papillary thyroid carcinoma and follicular thyroid carcinoma. Expression of TRAIL, TRAILR1 and TRAILR2 by thyrocytes in thyroid carcinoma may induce their apoptosis through autocrine or paracrine. Thyroid carcinoma cells were sensitive to TRAIL-inducing apoptosis despite expression of both decoy receptors. [

Objective To study thoracic bone remodeling after minimally invasive corrective surgery for pectus excavatum (PE) in adults and ascertain its clinical efficacy. Methods A total of 82 patients aged 18 to 57 (23.5 6.1) were enrolled in this study. There were 67 male patients and 15 female patients. The symmetric type (? type) composed of 37 cases, whereas the nonsymmetric type (II type) comprised 45 cases. Haller index (HI) was 3.2 to 11.8. Under general anesthesia, incisions located on looth sides of the mid-axillary line were made in all patients. The prepared supporting bar was inserted behind the sternum by videoassisted thoracoscopic monitoring (one bar for 60 patients and two bars for 22 patients). All patients were checked by chest CT scan pre-operation and 1 week post-operation to create a three-dimensional reconstruction thoracic image. In the sagittal plane, the center line of the body of the thoracic vertebrae was regarded as the incision line. The distance was measured between the sternum and the frontal edge of the body of the thoracic vertebrae. The condition of the displacement of the heart was also observed. Results When one bar was used, the middle and the inferior extremity of the mid-sternum was moved forward for 8.69 and 15.69mm, respectively, after correction. There was significant difference compared with that of the pre-operation (P<0.01). However, the upper extremity of the mid-sternum and upper and inferior extremities of the manubrium were moved forward to 2.39, -2.38, and 1.44mm, which did not exhibit obvious difference compared with the values taken before the operation. When two bars were used for the patients, the inferior extremity of the manubrium and each of upper, middle, and inferior extremities of the mid-sternum showed a forward displacement for 10.8, 12.45, 17.61, and 20.62mm, respectively. There was significant difference compared with the pre-operative values (P<0.001). The upper extremity of the manubrium exhibited forward displacement of 2.34mm, which did not exhibit any significant difference with the pre-operative values. The CT image showed the cardiac position returned to normal after operation. The thoracic appearances when two bars were used were better compared with that using one bar. Conclusions The strength of the reshaping bar is useful in thoracic bone remodeling after minimally invasive repair for PE in adult. Thoracic bone remodeling using one bar or two bars showed different change regularities and mechanisms of mechanics.

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: To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) plus Tanbo-plucking the trigger points for scapulohumeral periarthritis (SP). Methods:A total of 80 patients with SP were randomized into an observation group and an EA group by the random number table, with 40 cases in each group. The EA group was treated with EA therapy, and the observation group was treated with EA therapy plus Tanbo-plucking the trigger points. After treatment, the visual analog scale (VAS) and Melle scores of the two groups were compared to evaluate the improvement of shoulder pain and functional activity, and meanwhile the clinical efficacy was observed. Results: After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was 95.0％ and the cure and markedly effective rate was 72.5％. The total effective rate of the EA group was 87.5％ and the cure and markedly effective rate was 42.5％. There was no significant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (P>0.05). The cure and markedly effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the EA group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the intra-group differences in VAS and Melle scores of both groups were statistically significant (bothP<0.001). The inter-group differences in the changes of the VAS and Melle scores after treatment were statistically significant (bothP<0.001). Conclusion: EA plus Tanbo-plucking the trigger points has a better curative effect than EA therapy alone in the treatment of SP.

Objective To study the effect of percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) combined with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in treatment of acute severe cholecystitis.Method The perioperative data of patients treated with PTGBD combined with LC and patients treated with emergency LC were analyzed.Results There were no significant difference between the two groups on surgical duration (t =0.601,P =0.551) and postoperative hospital stay (t =0.979,P =0.331).Blood loss [PTGBD + LC (79.43 ± 46.27) ml,LC (125.84 ± 64.18) ml ; t =3.641,P ＜ 0.05],peritoneal drainage time [PTGDB + LC (3.29 ± 1.58) d,LC (4.63 ± 2.31) d ; t =3.131,P ＜ 0.05] and postoperative oral intake time [PTGBD +LC (2.91 ±1.58)d,LC (4.21 ±2.22)d; t =2.669,P＜0.05] were significantly different between the two groups.The rate of laparotomy,mortality and postoperative complications in the emergency LC group were higher than those in the PTGBD combined with LC group.Conclusions PTGBD combined with LC in the treatment of acute severe cholecystitis was significantly better than emergency LC.
