Objective To explore the role of long noncoding RNA ( lncRNA) CTD-2012K14. 6 in the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) related macrosomia. Methods The quantitative real-time PCR ( qRT-PCR) was performed to measure the expression of CTD-2012K14.6 in placentas of women with or without GDM, and the quantity of CTD-2012K14. 6 expression and its association with fetal weights were analyzed; Bioinformatic analysis was performed to predict the downstream molecules. CTD-2012K14. 6 over-expressing lentiviral and siRNA was constructed in human trophoblastic cell line HTR-8/SVneo cells, qRT-PCR and Western blot (WB) were used to invest its effect in modulating the expression of downstream molecules. Results The expression of CTD-2012K14.6 in GDM placentas was significantly higher than that in normal controls (1.70 ± 0.63 vs 1.00 ± 0.56,t=3.68,P<0.01), and positively correlated with fetal weight (r=0.8501, P<0.01); on-line analysis showed that CTD-2012K14.6 was located at chr16:67,549,214-67,563,958, which was located in the intron of CCCTC-binding factor( CTCF); Up-regulating CTD-2012K14.6 could significantly reduce the expression of CTCF mRNA and protein, and increase the expression of insulin-like growth factor-Ⅱ( IGF-Ⅱ) mRNA and protein, while down-regulating CTD-2012K14.6 could significantly increase the expression of CTCF mRNA and protein, and reduce the expression of IGF-ⅡmRNA and protein. Conclusion The CTD-2012K14. 6 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of GDM related macrosomia by upregulating the expression of CTCF and IGF-Ⅱ.

Objective To discuss difficulties and techniques of standard video-assisted thoracoscopic or laparoscopic surgery(SVATS or SVALS) for spine internal fixation.Methods Between July 2004 and September 2005,6 cases of vertebral lesions located in the T_5~L_1 segment(including 2 cases of vertebral tuberculosis) were given SVATS under single-lung ventilation for resection of diseased vertebral body,reconstruction with autograft or titanium mesh cage,and fixation with the Z-plate system or the CD-Horizon system.Other 2 cases of vertebral tuberculosis located in the L_2~L_3 segment underwent retroperitoneal gasless SVALS for lesion debridement,reconstruction with autograft,and fixation with the Z-plate system.For cases of vertebral tuberculosis,(anti-tuberculosis) drugs were administrated preoperatively for 3 weeks and postoperatively for 6 months.Results The lesion debridement and anterior decompression was completed in all the 8 cases,including internal fixation with the Z-Plate system in 7 cases and with the CD-Horizon system in 1 case.There were 5 cases of iliac autografting and 3 cases of titanium mesh cage reconstruction.The operative time was 6.5~12.6 h(mean,8.7 h) and the blood loss during surgery was 250~1 800 ml(mean,950 ml).The correction of the Cobb angle was 5?~18?(mean,12?).During a follow-up period for 2~13 months(mean,7.4 months) in the 8 cases,nerve functions recovered by 1~2 Frankel grade in 5 cases,and the Cobb angle lost by 4? at 6 months postoperatively in 1 case of metastatic adenocarcinoma at the T_7 segment.Conclusions Spine internal fixation of T_5~L_3 segment can be conducted successfully with SVATS or SVALS.The key to the question is accurate orientation of the port site,proper hemostasis of the segment blood vessel,and careful resection of the anterior wall of the vertebral canal.

Objective Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH) can progress to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Now there are few effective drugs to treat NASH. The aims of this study was to investigate the efficacy of anetholtrithione in the prevention and treatment of NASH in rats induced by high-fat diet. To evaluate the weight,liver index, serum aminotransferase activity and histological features. Methods Sixty SD male rats were divided into six groups. The controlled group(n=10) were fed with normal diet; the NASH model group(n=10)were fed with high-fat diet; the anetholtrithione prevention groups were fed with high-fat diet, and anetholtrithione.The rest rats were fed with high-fat diet, and twelve weeks later they were divided into three groups further. They were anetholtrithione treatment group, diet group and anetholtrithione +diet group. The anetholtrithione treatment group was fed with high-fat diet and anetholtrithione, diet group was fed with normal diet, and anetholtrithione+diet group was fed with normal diet and anetholtrithione. Sixteen weeks later, all rats were sacrificed. Results The anetholtrithione treatment group, diet group and anetholtrithione +diet group had a beneficial effect on lowing weight, liver index, serum aminotransferase activity. A significant improvement in some histological features such as steatosis and inflammation were also observed. Conclusion Anetholtrithione and diet therapy are effective in ameliorating NASH in rats.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of V AD regimen in the treatment of newly diagnosed stage III multiple myeloma (MM). Methods:26 patients with newly diagnosed stage Ⅲ multiple myel oma were treated with VAD regimen. VAD solution consisted of vincristine (VCR) , doxorubicin(ADR),dexamethasone (Dex).Three continuous treatments in one treatm ent course were considered evaluable.Evaluation included results of serum myelom a protein(M-protein); renal function; proteinuria of 24-hours; bone marrow ; per ipheral blood et al.The side reactions were recorded. The clinical efficacy eval uation was divide into complete response(CR),partial response(PR),minimal-respon se(MR), no change(NC) , plateau progression.Results:5 cases achieved CR(19.3%), 13 cases PR(50%),6 case s MR (23%), 2 cases no change (7.7%). Overall response rate was 92.3%, median su rvival duration was 7 to 84 months (29.6?17months). Conclusions:Achieved marked clinical efficacy with VAD agent in newly diagnosed stage III multiple myeloma. Especially,the patients with renal failure and serious clinical manifestation improved rapidly and significantly.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antibiotic resistance of Mycoplasma isolates from male genitourinary tract infection for rational use of antibiotics to treat Mycoplasma infections.Methods Isolates were detected using Mycoplasma IES Test Kit supplied by Yeoman Biotech (Zhuhai) Co.Ltd.Results A total of 698 strains (30.5%) of Mycoplasma was de- tected from 2 287 samples, 563 (80.7%) of which were Ureaplasma urealyticum, 26(3.7%)were Mycoplasma hominis. Both U.urea lyticum and M.hominis were identified in 109 (15.6%) specimens.U.urealyticum isolates were most suscepti- ble to josamycin, while all M.hominis isolates were susceptible to doxycyeline and minocycline, but resistant to erythromycin, roxithromycin and clarithromycin.Conclusions The best choice to treat Mycoplasma infections is josamycin, doxycycline and minocycline.The different strains of mycoplasrna may have variable susceptibility to the same kind of antibiotic.Active cul- ture, identification, and susceptibility testing of mycoplasma can provide useful data for rational use of antibiotics.

Objective To observe the effect of atropine mydriasis, wearing myopia glasses for short or long distance, and massage on preventing and controlling myopia in teenagers and children. Methods A total of 198 myopia cases (involving 393 eyes) were randomized into control group and treatment group. The control group was given eyesight examination after mydriasis with atropine sulfate eye gel and wearing myopia glasses for long distance. The treatment group was given eyesight examination after mydriasis with atropine sulfate eye gel, wearing myopia glasses for short distance, and massage therapy. Eyesight examination was carried out once every 2 months and lasted for one continuous year. The changes of diopter were compared between the two groups. Results ( 1) Of 194 affected eyes from the treatment group, 96 eyes were effective, 68 were stabilized, and the effective rate was 45.5%and stabilizing rate was 35.1%. Of 199 affected eyes from the control group, 3 eyes were effective, 9 were stabilized, and the effective rate was 1.5%and stabilizing rate was 4.5%. The differences of effective and stabilizing rates were significant between the two groups ( P<0.01). ( 2) After treatment, the myopia diopter was increased in the control group ( P<0.01 compared with that before treatment) , and the myopia diopter in the treatment group maintained stable ( P>0.05). The difference of diopter was significant between the two groups (P<0.01). (3) The difference of astigmatism was insignificant in both groups before and after treatment and between the two groups after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion Mydriasis with atropine sulfate eye gel, wearing myopia glasses for short or long distance, and focal massage therapy show certain preventive effect on myopia in teenagers and children by controlling the development of myopia diopter.
