Matrix metalloproteases(MMPs)and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteases(TIMPs) have a co-regulation of changes of the extraeellular matrix(ECM).MMPs can control the proteases which are related to the process of tumor development.Moreover,MMPs,produced by host cells including inflammatory ceUs,endothelial cells,pericytes and fibroblasts have a positive or negative correlation with tumor formation.

Climacteric syndrome is a common clinical disease with high incidence.The understanding of the disease is progressing in recent years.This article collects thirty-seven documents in this field in recent eight years.The pathogenesis of climacteric syndrome is divided into two aspects as the deficiency of the kidney and the imbalance of the liver, the spleen and the heart.It also sums up the therapy of climacteric syndrome from this two aspects.At last, the authors propose that we should pay attention to the importance of the liver, the spleen and the heart in both the pathogenesis and the therapy.

Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic non-specific intestinal tract inflammation,currently,its etiology and pathogenesis are not clear.The current conventional treatments include salicylic acid drugs, steroids, immunosuppressive agents, biological agents and surgery, but the prognosis is still not very optimistic.In recent years, a variety of other treatment options have emerged, such as anti-cytokine antibody, anti-chemokine antibodies.Clinicians pay more attention to treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

Objective:To investigate and analyze of informed consent in assisted reproductive technology ( ART) institutions, understand the status and problems.Improve the content and methods of informed consent. Methods:A questionnaire was investigated for the medical staffs and patients anonymously in ART institutions. Results:The implementation of informed consent need to be improved.Medical staffs protect the patient privacy inadequately.The patients also not pay attention to the informed consent.Medical staffs look forward to ethics training.Conclusions:The current situation of informed consent is not optimistic in ART institutions.The ethics training need to be strengthen to improve the awareness of medical staffs about informed consent.The content and methods of informed consent should be standardized,and explore the evaluation methods to enhance the effect of in-formed consent.

Objective To investigate the expression of miR-199b in colorectal cancer and the effect of miR-199b on metastasis of colorectal cancer.Methods The expression of miR-199b in colorectal cancer was assessed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).The miR-199boverexpressed human colon tumor-116 (HCT-116) stable cell lines was constructed by lentivirus assay.The effects of miR-199b on the migration and invasion of colorectal cancer were confirmed by Transwell assay.Bioinformatics,luciferase reporter assay,and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were performed to verify the potential target genes of miR-199b.Results miR-199b was at lower level in cancerous tissues comparing to the corresponding noncancerous tissues.Up-regulation of miR-199b significantly blocked the migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells.Co-transfection of miR-199b and VEGFA wild type (WT)3'untranslated region (3'UTR) could inhibit the luciferase activity,while there was no significant difference when co-transfection with mutant (MT) 3'UTR.The protein level of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) after overexpression of miR-199b was repressed,which was validated by ELISA.Conclusions miR-199b was a new colorectal cancer suppressor miRNA,which inhibited tumor migration and invasion by negatively regulating VEGF.

Objective]To discuss and analyze Professor Cheng Jing's clinical experience for treating decline in ovarian reserve(DOR). [Method]Through learning from the tutor in the outpatient service and case studies ,we analyzed and summarized Pro. Cheng's recognition on the etiology and pathogenesis of DOR,together with his dialectical way of thinking, combined therapy of Chinese and western medicine ,and empirical prescriptions. [Result] Pro. Cheng believes that this disease lies in the kidneys as wel as in the thoroughfare and conception meridian ,the pathogenesis is kidney deficiency and the imbalance of the thoroughfare and conception meridian,or combined with the stagnation of liver qi,spleen deficiency,and blood stasis and phlegm fire (heat); the therapy is mainly nourishing and warming kidneys as wel as conditioning the thoroughfare and conception meridian ,combined with Chinese medicine's periodical therapy,such as adjusting the circulation of qi and blood in livers,spleens,hearts and other organs. [Conclusions] Pro. Cheng's combined therapy of Chinese and western medicine for curing DOR ,of which his empirical prescriptions the Bushenyichongkangshuaitang is the main part,is of remarkable curative effect and significant clinical value.

Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) is characterized by chronic non-specific inflammatory dis ease.The inflammation caused by abnormal immune response in intestinal mucosa exerts an important role in the pathogenesis of IBD.T helper 17 cells(Th17)are involved in the development of chronic inflammation and auto immune disease,whereas regulatory T cells can inhibit the function of autoimmune,and thus the balance of Th17/Treg balance plays an important role in intestinal homeostasis.Various strategies can be done to modulate Th17/Treg balance,such as antigen-presenting cells,microoganisms,some key molecules,natural compounds,proving a promising therapeutic method for IBD.

OBJECTIVE: To provide references for the improvement of drug safety of emergent public health events.METHODS: The characteristics of drug demands in emergent public health events were analyzed to guarantee the characteristics of drug safety so as to explore effective safeguard strategy.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: Special system and countermeasure are required to guarantee drug safety of emergent public health events.The strategy includes three aspects,i.e.adequate plan in advance,rapid response and timely consummation after the event.

Objective To study the association of apolipoprotein ( Apo) E gene polymorphism with difference in biochemical metabolism of diabetic nephropathy of Hui and Han populations. Methods ApoE genotype was determined by PCR-RFLP in diabetic patients with or without diabetic nephropathy (DN) and normal peoples in Hui and Han peoples, the related biochemical parameters were simultaneously detected. Results (1) Huis had 3 genotypes, i. e. E2/E3, E3/E3 and E3/E4, and their frequencies were 0. 043, 0. 894 and 0. 064, respectively. Hans had 5 genetypes, i. e. E2/E2, E2/E3 , E2/E4, E3/E3 and E3/E4, and their frequencies were 0.075,0.060, 0.164, 0.642 and 0.060, respectively. The frequencies of 3 alleles, E2, E3 and E4, in Huis and Hans were 0.021, 0.947, 0.032 and 0.187, 0. 702, 0.112, respectively. The results showed that difference in frequencies of genotypes and alleles of Huis and Hans was very significant (both P

About half of the world population and more than 90% of rural households in the developing countries still use unprocessed biomass fuels (wood, dung and crop residues) as the fuels. These substances, burning in the open fire or in the simple stoves, can cause indoor air pollution and the pollutants exposure in women and children is more serious. Biomass smoke contains lots of toxic and harmful substances which may impact the health of human. This article presented a recent research progress in the indoor air pollution and health effects caused by combustion of biomass fuels in China and in the world.
