Background:Helicobacter pylori( Hp)is listed as Group 1 human carcinogen. Transcription factor FOX family plays important role in the development of tumor,and FOXA1 is a key target transcription factor of some microRNAs( miRNAs). Aims:To investigate the relationship of Hp infection with expression of FOXA1 in gastric mucosal tissues. Methods:Eighty patients undergone gastroscopy from Jan. 2014 Sept. 2014 were enrolled. Hp infection was detected by 14 C-urease breath test( 14 C-UBT),modified Giemsa staining and bacterial culture. Expression of FOXA1 in gastric mucosal tissues was determined by immunohistochemical SP method. Results:FOXA1 expression in Hp positive tissues was significantly higher than that in Hp negative tissues(73. 8% vs. 47. 4%;χ2 =4. 81,P<0. 05). Conclusions:High expression of FOXA1 in gastric mucosal tissues suggests that miRNAs pathway may be one of the molecular mechanisms of Hp infection leading to gastric intraepithelial neoplasia even gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVETo observe differences of therapeutic effects among acupuncture bloodletting, penicillin and acupuncture bloodletting combined with penicillin for children acute tonsillitis and providea better treatment method in cli nic.
METHODSSeventy-five mild cases were selected into section of mild symptoms while seventy-five severe cases were selected into section of severe symptoms. Cases in the two sections then were divided into, an acupuncture bloodletting group, a penicillin group and a comprehensive group by random digital table method separately, 25 cases in each one. Qu-chi (LI 11), Hegu (LI 4), Dazhui (GV 14), Shaoshang (LU 11) and Erjian (EX 11) were selected in the acupuncture bloodletting group, intravenous injection of penicillin sodium was applied in the penicillin group and acupuncture bloodletting combined with penicillin was applied in the comprehensive group. Efficacy assessment was conducted after 3 days in the section of mild symptoms and after 5 days in the section of severe symptoms.
RESULTSFor the section of mild symptoms, the total effective rate was 96.0% (24/25) in the comprehensive group and 92.0% (23/25) in the acupuncture bloodletting group, which were both superior to 68. 0% (17/25) in the penicillin group (P<0.05), but no statistical significance was seen between the comprehensive group and acupuncture bloodletting group (P>0.05). For the section of severe symptoms, the total effective rate was 96.0% (24/25) in the comprehensive group, which was obviously superior to 60.0% (15/25) in the acupuncture bloodletting group (P<0.01) and 68.0% (17/25) in the penicillin group (P<0. 05), and no statistical significance was seen between the acupuncture bloodletting group and penicillin group (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe efficacy of acupuncture bloodletting combined with penicillin is little different from that of acupuncture bloodletting for treatment of children acute tonsillitis with mild accompanied symptoms, which were both superior to intravenous injection of penicillin sodium. For severe accompanied symptoms, the efficacy of acupuncture bloodletting combined with penicillin is obviously superior to acupuncture bloodletting and penicillin.

Objective To observe expression of the keratin 10 (K10), c-myc and cox2 in buccal mucous membrane exfoliated cells, and changes of liver function of coal-burning arsenism patients, in order to explorate coal-burning arsenic poison circumference biology symbol. Methods The buccal mucous membrane exfoliated cells were collected from both arsenism patients and normal controls. Real-time PCR was employed to detect the changes of K10, c-myc, cox2 genes expression in these cells. Simultaneously, circumference venous blood was extracted and examinated liver function. Results K10 was found obviously overexpressed in arsenism patients(3.60±0.94) compared to control(1.82±0.68), the difference had statistics significance(t=2.15, P<0.05), c-mye and cox2 did not found obviously changed(c-myc: 3.50±2.77,3.39±2.07; cox2:5.90±1.40,4.73±1.91; t=1.26,1.65, P> 0.05). The serum ALT of patients(25.83±2A5) obviously increased than control(36.86±1735, t=2.55, P<0.05). Conclusions Expression of K10 gene in buccal mucous membrane cells may be regarded as sensitive molecular markers for skin pathologic changes in arsenic patients. The liver is a sensitive target organ of inorganic arsenic.

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of using pulse oximetry plethysmographic waveform (POP) to identify the restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Methods An observational research was conducted. A porcine model of ventricular fibrillation (VF) arrest was reproduced. After 3 minutes of untreated VF, animals received CPR according to the latest CPR guidelines, providing chest compressions to a depth of 5 cm with a rate of 105 compressions per minute and instantaneous mechanical ventilation. After 2 minutes of CPR, animals were defibrillated with 100 J biphasic, followed by continuous chest compressions. Data of hemodynamic parameters, partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2) and POP were collected. The change in POP was observed, and the characteristics of changes of the waves were recorded during the peri-CPR period using the time and frequency domain methods.Results VF was successfully induced in 6 pigs, except 1 death in anesthesia induction period.① After VF, invasive blood pressure waveform and POP of the animals disappeared. PETCO2 was (18.83±2.71) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), and diastolic arterial pressure was (23.83±5.49) mmHg in compression stage. Animals attained ROSC within 1 minute after defibrillation, with PETCO2 [(51.83±9.35) mmHg] and diastolic arterial pressure [(100.67±10.97) mmHg] elevated significantly compared with that of compression stage (t1 = 8.737,t2 = 25.860, bothP = 0.000), with appearance of arterial blood pressure waveform.② Characteristic changes in POP were found in all experimental animals. During the stages of induced VF, compression, ROSC, and compression termination, POP showed characteristic waveform changes. POP showed disappearance of waveform, regular compression wave, fluctuation hybrid and stable pulse wave in time domain method; while in the frequency domain method waveform disappearance, single peak of compression, double or fusion peak and single peak of pulse were observed.Conclusion Analysis of POP using time and frequency domain methods could not only quickly detect cardiac arrest, but also show a role as a feasible, non-invasive marker of ROSC during CPR.
