Objective:To investigate the mechanisms of decoy oligodeoxynucleotides(decoy-ODN) blockading Stat3 that inhibit breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 proliferation.Methods:Stat3 decoy-ODN and scramble control were transfected into breast cell line MDA-MB-231, respectively. The cell proliferation capability was detected by cell counting; flow cytometry was applied to detect MDA-MB-231 cell cycle; FITC labeled decoy was observed by Reflected Light Fluorescence Microscope; the expression of the gene controlled by Stat3 was examined by means of RT-PCR and Western blot assay.Results:Stat3 decoy-ODN could be internalized into MDA-MB-231 cells and inhibit the growth of MDA-MB-231 cell via inducing its apoptosis. Stat3 decoy-ODN also could significantly reduce the expression of Stat3 controlling genes such as Bcl-xl,c-myc and CylinD1.Conclusion:Stat3 decoy-ODN can inhibit breast cell line MDA-MB-231 proliferation by blockading JAK/STAT pathway. This suggests that transcription factor decoy-ODN may serve as a novel therapeutic strategy for breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the relationship between anti-HCV antibody level and hepatitis C virus genotype in the patients.Methods Total of 603 anti-HCV positive serum samples were collected during 2013 to 2014 by retrospective research method.HCV RNA were detected in anti-HCV positive samples by repeat test and the genotype were detected in HCV RNA positive samples.The distribution of anti-HCV level in different hepatitis C genotype patients was analyzed and the body's response to viral antibodies and viral genotype correlation with anti-HCV concentration interquartile range was explored.Rates among genotype groups were compared using chi-square test.Results Totally 412 of 603 (68.33％) samples were anti-HCV positive by double reagent screening.174(42.3％) samples were detected as HCV RNA positive.The distributions of different anti-HCV level in different genotype patients were 1a(n =8) 1/8,1/8,4/8,2/8;1b(n =112)25.9％ (29/112),17.0％ (19/112),25.9％ (29/112),31.3％ (35/112);2a(n =14)3/14,4/14,5/14,2/14;3a(n =11)3/11,6/11,2/11,0/11;3b(n =16)4/16,11/16,1/16,0/16;6a(n =8)2/8,2/8,1/8,3/8 with anti-HCV concentration interquartile range respectively.The anti-HCV concentration distribution was different in patients with different HCV genotypes.The anti-HCV concentration distribution in patients of 1 b,2a and 6a genotypes were evently,while anti-HCV level was relatively high in 1a (13.65) and relatively low in 3b (8.77).There were differences in different genotypes of antibody concentrations (x2 =35.2,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions There was correlation between anti-HCV level and HCV genotype.Because there were fewer cases in some genotypes,it was necessary to investigate more samples to corfirm the above results.

AIM:To investigate the value of pattern visual evoked potential (PVEP) and flash electroretinogram (FERG) in early diagnosis and prevention of diabetic retinopathy (DR), analyzing the correlation of early stage DR with PVEP and FERG.
METHODS: Sixty patients, 30 males and 30 females, participated in observation group. Their average age was 19. 42 ± 7. 78years. The duration of DM was < 5a. Best corrected visual acuity was 5. 0. Fasting blood glucose was 7. 8± 3. 6mmol/ L. There were 60 subjects, 30 males and 30 females, in control group. Their average age was 17. 2 ± 6. 52years. Best corrected visual acuity was 5. 0. Every participator was tested with PVEP and FERG according to ISCVE standard. The amplitude of PVEP and P100 latency were recorded. And the b-wave latency, b-wave amplitude, a - wave latency, a - wave amplitude were showed down.
RESULTS: In observation group, P100 amplitude decreased and P100 latency increased, compared to those of control group ( P< 0. 01); b - wave latency, b -wave amplitude, a - wave latency, a - wave amplitude were different from those in control group(P<0. 01); the fasting blood glucose kept stable; P100 amplitude, b -wave amplitude and a-wave amplitude were not related to the DM duration; P100 latency, a-wave latency and b-wave latency were related to the DM duration.
CONCLUSION: PVEP are sensitive to optic neuron damage; FERG is desirable to detect the lesion of Müller cells and bipolar cells. P100 amplitude by PVEP, b-wave amplitude by FERG may be the most sensitive parameter for DR at early stage.

ObjectiveTo investigate the application of CT inspection during the recovery period to cerebral infarct patients. Methods53 recurrence cases were taken out from random 100 cases of first reexamination CT films and analyzed while comparing the cases′ recurrence times,contents and the relationship between recurrence times and the original deceases.ResultsThere was no close connection between the rate of cerebral infarct recurrence and recurrence times(P>0.05).But cerebral infarct recurrence mainly appeared within the first year and the recurrence time caused by the presence of hypertension was shorter than the time caused by diabetes(P<0.05).92% cerebral infarct recurrence were cavity cerebral infarct recurrence and 11% were silent brain infarction.Conclusions It is significant for the patients to take CT reexamination within the first recovery year and also important for the no symptom patients.
