Objective To investigate the potential factors that may be associated with clinical significant endoscopy findings (CSEF) and the characters of the appropriate patients for upper endoscopy.Methods Information of the out-patients was collected from the questionnaires that were performed before undergoing upper endoscopy from 26 September 2011 to 23 December 2011,including demographics characteristics,symptoms,gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire (Gerd Q) score,comorbidities,medication and purpose for upper endoscopy.The analyses were performed by Logistic regression to find the potential factors that were associated with CSEF.Results A total of 942 cases were enrolled.There were 471 (50.0％) patients with dyspepsia and reflux symptoms,300(31.8％)patients with dyspepsia and without reflux symptoms,and 86(9.1％)patients with reflux symptoms and without dyspepsia.Sum to 325 (34.5％) patients were diagnosed with CSEF,119(12.6％) with erosive esophagitis,28(3.0％) with Barrett esophagus,102 (10.8％)with peptic ulcers,66 (7.0％) with gastric dysplasia,and 13 (1.4％) with upper malignancy.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that men (OR=1.677,95％CI:1.148 to 2.451),older age (OR=1.032,95％CI:1.021 to 1.044),alcohol intake (OR=1.761,95％CI:1.068 to 2.903),Gerd-Q score increase (OR=1.079,95％ CI:1.003 to 1.160),and presence of acid regurgitation (OR=1.659,95 ％CI:1.143 to 2.408) were significantly associated with increasing risk of diagnosis for CSEF,while taking proton pump inhibitors (OR=0.298,95％CI 0.109 to 0.818)was associated with lower possibility of detection.Conclusions Factors such as male,older age,alcohol intake,Gerd-Q score increase,presence of acid regurgitation and taking proton pump inhibitors,may have a certain significance for screening out patients and further improving the cost efficiency of gastroscopy.

Objective:The paper aims to evaluate the impacts of the urban residents’ basic medical insurance on the medical treatment and preventive care services utilization through quantitative evaluation. Methods:The China Health and Nutrition Surveys ( CHNS) Data collected from 2006 to 2011 were used to compare the difference between medical treatment and preventive care services utilization adopting the difference-in-difference method and the Probit model. The control group urban residents did not participate in the basic medical insurance while their treatment group participated. Results:The medical treatment and preventive care services utilization were more for the treat-ment group than they were for the control one. The age, education level, annual per capita income and hypertension influenced the medical services utilization, and the annual per capita income was a protective factor. The age and ed-ucation level also influenced the preventive care services utilization. Conclusion: The urban resident basic medical insurance plays an important role in the medical treatment and preventive care services utilization. Meanwhile, this factor continuously enhanced the coverage and the per capita income protection for medical services.

Background and purpose:miR-17-92 gene cluster overexpression has been observed in various cancers, such as lung cancer, liver cancer, gastric cancer and prostate cancer. In this study, we established the stable cell line overexpressingmiR-17-92 to explore the inlfuence ofmiR-17-92 on the migration, invasion abilities and cisplatin resistance of the prostate cancer DU145 cells.Methods:miR-17-92 overexpression vectors were constructed. DU145 cells were infected with the viral supernatants produced by Phoenix A packaging system. Real-time lfuorescent quanti-tative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) was conducted to detect the expression level of miR-17-92 in the cells. The migration and invasion abilities were measured by a real-time xCELLigence system. The scratch healing assay was carried out to investigate the migration abilities. The expression of integrin β1 was detected by Western blot, and the activities of matrix metalloprotein-2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloprotein-9 (MMP-9) were measured by gelatin zymography experiment. The cell growth of the two cell lines after the treatment of cisplatin was detected by a real-time xCELLigence system. The mRNA expression ofERCC1 was measured by RTFQ-PCR. Western blot was conducted to investigate the protein expressions of ERCC1, ERK1/2 and pERK1/2.Results:DU145-miR-17-92 cells migrated faster than DU145-control cells during the 24 h continuous monitoring (P<0.01). The scratch healing assay indicated that DU145-miR-17-92 cells migrated from the edge towards the scratch center faster than DU145-control cells. DU145-miR-17-92 cells invaded through matrigel markedly faster than DU145-control cells (P<0.01). The protein expression level of integrin β1 and the MMP-9 activities in DU145-miR-17-92 cells were increased than those in DU145-control cells. After the treatment of cisplatin, DU145-miR-17-92 cells grew faster than DU145-control cells, presenting cisplatin resistance (P<0.01). The phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in DU145-miR-17-92 cells was constantly at a high level regard-less of the treatment of cisplatin. Compared with DU145-control cells, the expression of drug resistance-related gene ERCC1 was dramatically increased in DU145-miR-17-92 cells after the treatment of cisplatin.Conclusion:miR-17-92 overexpression increases the migration and invasion abilities of the prostate cancer DU145 cells, which is associated with the upregulated expression of integrin β1 and the increased activity of MMP-9. Besides,miR-17-92 overexpression enhances the cisplatin resistance of DU145, which is correlated with the increased phosphorylation level of ERK and the upregulated expression of ERCC1 at both the mRNA and protein levels.

Aim To study the absorption kinetics of se-ries molecular weight 5-ASA-mPEG in rats intestine. Methods The in situ intestinal absorption property of 5-ASA-mPEG in rats was investigated by means of sin-gle-pass perfusion, and HPLC method was established to determine the drug concentration in the perfusate. Results The drug concentration and the site of intes-tine segments had little effect on the drug absorption constant ( Ka ) and apparent absorption coefficient (Papp). The perfusion flow rate and the variable mo-lecular weight of 5-ASA-mPEG could significantly af-fect the Ka and Papp. Conclusion 5-ASA-mPEG can be absorbed at all segments of the intestine of rats and has no specific absorption site. It is preliminarily in-ferred that the absorption mechanism of 5-ASA-mPEG is passive transportation. The intestinal absorption of 5-ASA-mPEG shows a downward trend with the increase in molecular weight. The results shows that the modifi-cation of 5-ASA by PEG can effectively inhibit the in-testinal absorption of mesalazine.

Objective To prove the advantages of telemetry by comparing with the traditional methods in safety pharmacology.Methods To monitor continuously the heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and ECG of Beagle dogs by traditional and telemetry methods respectively, analyze and compare the changes between anesthetized and conscious dogs before and after feeding.Results Maintenance of anesthesia changed significantly the heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and QT interval in the ECG of animals.The changes of physiological indicators in 24 h is not obvious in conscious animals, and showed a certain biorhythm.Compared with the conscious animals, the anesthetized dogs’ heart rate was significantly higher, blood pressure increased significantly, QRS and QTcf interval prolonged significantly, respiratory frequency decreased, heart rate increased significantly after feeding, and QTcf interval extended very significantly.Conclusions Traditional methods in safety pharmacology affect animal physiological indicators such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and QT interval, which affect the objectivity of drug evaluation.Using conscious animals by telemetry can reduce these errors, however, the interference from outside should be eliminated.

Objective To observe the levels of neutrophil CD64 expression in prostatic fluid of patients with chronic prostatitis and different degrees of infection,to evaluate the value of CD64 in diagnosis and treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis.Methods 100 subjects were divided into two groups according to chronic prostatitis symptom index (CPSI) established by the National Institutes of Health (NIH):CPSI high score group and CPSI low group,bacterial infection group,and 30 healthy controls.CD64 expression of neutrophils in prostatic fluid was detected by flow cytometry and prostate fluid routine microscopy inspection.Results The expression of CD64 in severe group (high score) was (4857.25±278.45) molecules / cell,which was significantly higher than that in the mild group (P＜0.05).There was significant difference between the mild group and the nonbacterial infection group or the healthy control group (P＜0.01).There was no significant difference between nonbacterial infection group and healthy control group.The expression of CD64 was positively correlated with some white blood cells in the bacterial infection group,but not the whole.ROC curve was drawn according to the data of the subjects.When CD64 was 2135.2 molecules/cell,the sensitivity was 92.9％ and the specificity was 91.7％.Conclusion Quantitative detection of CD64 in prostatic fluid can be used as a sensitive index for diagnosis of chronic bacterial prostatitis and has clinical value.

Objective To approach the effect of CYP3A5 6986A＞G (rs776746) and ABCB1 3435C＞T (rs104564) on plasma tacrolimus(FK506) dose adjusted blood trough concentrations(C0/D) in kidney transplanted patients.Method Totally 125 renal transplanted recipients were recruited,and gene sequencing method were used to detect the genotype of CYP3A5 6986A＞G and ABCB1 3435C＞ T.FK506 trough concentration of 125 patients was detected by enzyme multiplies immunoassay technique (EMIT) after the surgery over 6 month.The relevance between the ratio of trough concentration/dosage and polymorphisms was analyzed.Result In 125 renal transplanted receipients,the allele frequency of CYP3A5 and ABCB1 genetic variants was 74％ and 34.8％,respectively.After 6 months,the C0/D ration in the homozygous mutant CYP3A5 * 3/* 3 receiptients was significant higher than that in the homozygous wild type * 1/* 3 and heterozygous mutant * 1/* 1 receiptients (P ＜ 0.05).And there was no significant difference of the Co/D ration between CYP3A5 * 1/* 1 and CYP3A5 * 1/* 3 receipients(P＞0.05).The the C0/D ration in homozygous wild type ABCB1 T/T and homozygous mutant T/C receipients was significant higher than that in heterozygous mutant C/C receipients (P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference of the C0/D ration between T/C and T/T receipients (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion The study shows that the the polymorphism of CYP3A5 and ABCB1 genes was significantly correlated with the trough C0/D value of the recipients after renal transplantation who were treated by Tacrolimus for more than half a year.The detection of the SNP of the CYP3A5 and ABCB1 will be useful for FK506 dosage adjustment.
