Objective To investigate the effects of up?regulated miR?206/miR?1 on the proliferation of breast cancer stem cells and the effect mech?anism. Methods Breast cancer stem cells(BCSCs)were isolated from breast cancer cell line MCF?7 by fluorescence?activated cell sorting. Cells in the experiment were divided into the blank control group,the negative control group,the miR?206 group and the miR?1 group. The BCSCs were transfected by negative control mimic,hsa?miR?206mimic and hsa?miR?1mimic in all groups except the blank control group. MiR?206and miR?1 expression levels as well as the transcription factor EVI?1 gene were detected by real time PCR. The expression levels of the transcription factor EVI?1 protein were detected by Western blot. MTT method was used to detect the effects of miR?206 and miR?1 on the proliferation of BCSCs. Results The BCSCs(CD44+/CD24-/low cells)isolated from MCF?7 cell lines were successfully cultured in serum?free medium for subsequent studies. After transfection of hsa?miR?206mimic and hsa?miR?1mimic for 48 hours,miR?206and miR?1relative expression levels increased. EVI?1mRNA ex?pression levels significantly decreased. The results of Western blot and MTT showed that up?regulated expression levels of miR?206 and miR?1 could significantly reduce the expression of EVI?1 protein and inhibited the proliferation of BCSCs. The differences in levels of miR?206,miR?1 and EVI?1 protein were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Up?regulated miR?206 and miR?1 expression can inhibit the proliferation ability of BCSCs,which may be related to the down?regulation of EVI?1.

Objective To observe the time-effect relationship between acupuncture treatment and the absorption of cerebral hematoma and edema in the acute stage of cerebral hemorrhage to determine the optimal time for acupuncture intervention in cerebral hemorrhage.Methods Three hundred patients with cerebral hemorrhage in the acute stage were randomly allocated to treatment groups 1, 2, 3 and 4, and control group, 60 cases each. The control group received symptomatic treatment for regulating blood pressure, reducing intracranial pressure by dehydration, maintaining electrolyte balance, nourishing nerves and preventing and treating complications. The treatment groups were given acupuncture in addition. Treatment group 1 received acupuncture at 24 hrs after the attack; treatment group 2, at 72 hrs; treatment group 3, at one week; treatment group 4, at two weeks. Pre-/post-treatment hematoma size parameter difference value and cerebral peripheral edema grade parameters were observed in every group.Results There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in hematoma size and cerebral edema grade in every group (P<0.01,P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in hematoma size and cerebral edema grade between every treatment group and the control group (P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in hematoma size and cerebral edema grade between treatment group 1, 2 or 3 and treatment group 4 (P<0.05), between treatment group 1 or 2 and treatment group 3 (P<0.05) and between treatment groups 1 and 2 (P<0.05).Conclusions Acupuncture has a positive therapeutic effect in patients with cerebral hemorrhage in the acute stage. The earlier acupuncture intervention in the acute stage of cerebral hemorrhage, the more remarkable the effect.

Objective To test the level of follicular helper T cells (Tfh) and interleukin (IL)-21,CXCL13 in the peripheral blood of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS),and to analyze the relationship between Tfh and clinic features and explore the possible immunological pathogenesis of AS.Methods The Tfh cells were obtained from patients and normal controls and detected by flow cytometry.While the levels of IL-21,CXCL13 in patients and normal controls were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests.Data analysis were performed by Student's t-test,Rank-sum test,Spearman's correlation test.Results The expression of CD4+CXCR5 qCOS + cells (Tfh) (mean rank 33.71) and IL-21 [(299±27) ng/L],CXCL13 [(5.8±1.0) μg/L] in the peripheral blood of AS was significantly higher than normal controls [mean rank 23.54,(176±26) ng/L,(4.2±0.8) μg/L] (Z=-2.258,t=17.221,t=6.464,all P＜0.05).It was similar in AS with peripheral joint involvement compared with AS of non-peripheral joint involvement,and there was no difference between AS patients with positive HLA-B27 and those without HLA-B27.Mean -while,no correlation was found between the expression of Tfh,IL-21,CXCL13 and level of ESR,CRP,BASDAI.And there was no significant correlation between the expression of Tfh and IL-21,CXCL13 (P＞0.05).Conclusion The expression of Tfh and the levels of IL-21,CXCL13 are increased significantly,but are not closely relatedto disease activity.These results indicate that the abnormality of Tfh may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AS.

Objective To study transmission characteristics of Acinetobacter baumannii (A.baumannii )clone and clinical features of infected patients in a respiratory intensive care unit (RICU),so as to guide the effective pre-vention and control of A.baumannii transmission.Methods 40 A.baumannii strains isolated from RICU patients were performed homology analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE)and cluster analysis,relationship of strains was determined,antimicrobial resistance and clinical data were analyzed.Results 40 A.baumannii strains were divided into 11 genotypes(A-K),the main epidemic strains were type A,B and E.The resistant rate to imipen-em was the lowest(70.00%),the next was levofloxacin (77.50%).The average age of 40 infected patients was 67 years old,the average length of hospital stay was 41 days,12 patients died because of invalid treatment.There was overlapping hospitalization among patients infected with type A and E strains;among patients infected with type B strain,there was no overlapping hospitalization among the last 6 and first 6 infected patients.Conclusion The main epidemic strains of A.baumannii were type A,B and E,antimicrobial resistant rate is high;the infected patients are with high average age and long length of hospital stay.It is important to reduce the transmission of A.baumannii through rational use of antimicrobial agents,strict aseptic operation,and intensified disinfection and sterilization of hospital environment and medical devices.

Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture on the expression of nitricoxide synthase (NOS) in gastrointestinal tissues after operation for incomplete intestinal obstruction in rats, and to explore the mechanism of acupuncture in promoting the recovery of gastrointestinal motility. Methods Forty Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomized into treatment group 1, treatment group 2, model group 1, model group 2, and a normal control group, 8 rats in each group. The incomplete intestinal obstruction models were developed by using single ligation method in treatment groups and model groups. Afterwards, the treatment groups were intervened by acupuncture at Zusanli (ST 36) and Yanglingquan (GB 34), and rats in treatment group 1 and 2 were respectively dissected after 1-day and 2-day treatment. The rats in model group 1 and 2 were respectively dissected 1 d and 2 d after modeling. The morphological observation was performed on rat’s intestinal tissues, and the average diameter of the upper part of the obstructed intestine and the expression of NOS in gastrointestinal tissues were compared. Results The average ileocecal diameter after modeling was significantly different from that in the normal control group (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in comparing the ileocecal diameter between model group 1 and 2 (P<0.05). The ileocecal diameter in treatment group 1 was significantly different from that in treatment group 2 and model groups (P<0.05). The ileocecal diameter in treatment group 2 was insignificantly different from that in the normal control group (P>0.05). The NOS content in model groups was significantly different from that in the normal group (P<0.05). The NOS content in treatment group 1 was markedly different from that in model groups and treatment group 2 (P<0.05) after intervention. There were no significant inter-group differences in comparing NOS content (P>0.05). Conclusions Acupuncture can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal motility by regulating intestinal NOS content in rats after operation for incomplete intestinal obstruction.
