ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effect of lentivirusly-mediated ObR-siRNA on transplanted MCF-7 human breast cancer cells by intratumoral injection.MethodsA model of subcutaneous implanted tumor was generated through injecting MCF-7 human breast cancer cells into the nude mice.Thirty established mice with MCF-7 breast cancer cells xenograft were divided into 3 groups randomly,and mice in the experimental group were intratumorally injected with ObR-siRNA lentivirus,while the negative control group and blank control group mice were injected with the same dose of negative lentivirus and normal saline.All mice were subcutaneously injected with recombinant human leptin around the tumor site once a day.Tumor size was blindly measured every other day and the mRNA expression and protein expression levels of ObR in each group were determined.ResultsKnockdown of ObR-treated xenografted nude mice with a high leptin microenvironment was successfully established.Local injection of ObR-siRNA lentivirus significantly suppressed the established tumor growth in nude mice(P < 0.01,P <0.01 ).Real time-PCR and Western blotting showed that the mRNA and protein expression of ObR was decreased in the ObR-siRNA lentivirus group( P < 0.01,P < 0.01 ).ConclusionsIntratumoral injection of recomhinant ObR-siRNA lentivirus inhibits the growth of MCF-7 cells xenografts in the nude mice,suggesting that ObR might represent a therapeutic target in the genotherapies of human breast cancer.

Objective To survey the satisfaction degree of the postgraduates in professional degree with The Joining Together of Double-Track education model in the current stage of professional degree graduate education and standardized training of residents in China. Methods According to various factors, such as the current situation of postgraduates in medical universities, we sought the opinions of relevant experts to design questionnaire. Meanwhile, to enhance the reliability of the questionnaire and the survey, we chose the postgraduates of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University first to do the pre-survey, and according to the feedback, we adjusted part of the aspects, thus formed a formal questionnaire, which included the satisfaction with training of clinical practice ability, training of research ability, and tutors' assessment etc. Finally, the Chinese New Youth Forum online released the questionnaires, selecting the postgraduates in professional degree who were participating in, or had participated in the completion of the standardized training as the participants, which took place between March 2016 and May 2016. SPSS 16.0 was used for statistical analysis. The evaluation results of different majors were tested by Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test. Results According to the results of the survey, the aspects in the clinical resident standard-ized training that the 1000 postgraduates were more satisfied with were as follows: training time [42.8%(n=428)], training center [41.8% (n=418)], training of clinical practice ability [41.6% (n=416)], tutors [40.2%(n=402)], economic income [38.8%(n=388)], department arrangements [38.4% (n=384)], training of research ability [37.5%(n=375)]. There is a significant difference in the satisfaction degree of different pro-fessional graduate students in theJoining Together of Double-Trackeducation model (P<0.05). ConclusionThe Joining Together of Double-Track education model should be compatible with the training objectives of postgraduates in professional degree. Much more attention should be paid to the post-graduates, satisfac-tion degree with the clinical resident standardized training, as well as the requirements during the training period, improve the evaluation of graduate students' ability of scientific research, econo-mic income and so on, so as to improve the training system for the postgraduates.

Objective To study the impact of blood transfusion on postoperative complications of pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods The medical data of 356 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy from January 2005 to December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.242 patients in the transfusion group received blood transfusion while the remaining patients in the non transfusion group received no blood transfusion.Results The rates of pancreatic fistula and pulmonary infection,mean operative time,intraoperative blood loss,and hospital stay were 17.8%,16.5%,6.4 h,920.0 ml and 29.1 d in the transfusion group compared with 8.8%,6.1%,5.4 h,150.0 ml and 25.9 d in the non-transfusion group,respectively (P<0.05).However,there were no significant differences between the two groups in the rates of biliary fistula,gastrointestinal and intraabdominal bleeding,delayed gastric emptying and death.Conclusions Patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy in the non-transfusion group had significantly lower rates of pancreatic fistula and pulmonary infection,shorter operative time and hospital stay,and less intraoperative blood loss.This study suggested that a reduction in intraoperative blood loss by advanced instruments and techniques,with operations carried out by experienced pancreatic surgeons in specialized pancreatic center,could result in a significantly lower postoperative complication rate.

Objective To investigate the 3.0T high-field intraoperative MR imaging applications in surgical resection of gliomas.Methods One hundred and fifty-two patients with brain gliomas, admitted to our hospital from January 2011 to December 2013, were enrolled in our study;tumor resection was performed in 85 patients under the guidance of a simple neural navigation (control group) and 67 patients under intra-operative MRI neuronavigation (iMRI group).A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of the patients;tumor resection rate, surgical time and prognosis of the patients were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results All the 152 patients were successfully performed tumor resection.Longer surgical time was needed in patients of iMRI group than that in the control group, with significant difference (P<0.05).In the iMRI group, total resection was achieved in 60 patients, subtotal resection in 4, greatly partial resection in two, and partial resection in one;in the control group, total resection was achieved in 61 patients, subtotal resection in 8, greatly partial resection in 9, and partial resection in 7;the resection rate in the iMRI group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05).The good prognosis rate in the iMRI group (94.0%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (72.9%, P<0.05).No MRI-related adverse events or infected patients were noted.Conclusion 3.0T high-field intraoperative MRI technology helps intra-operative brain shift in real-time to correct the error, pinpoint glioma imaging edge to maximize clinical glioma resection, retain neurological areas and improve prognosis of the patients.
