microRNAs play a critical role in breast tumorigenesis and progression, in which it might serve as oncogene, tumor suppressor gene, regulators of invasion, apoptosis and therapy resistance. Moreover,there has been a large body of evidences for the involvement of miRNAs in the self-renewal, differentiation and tumor formation of breast cancer stem cells. This review respectively summarizes the relations between microRNAs and breast cancer, breast cancer stem cell as well as the progresses of applying microRNAs to tumor therapy.

Anterior cruciate ligament is the most important ligament to maintain the anterior and rotation stability of knee joint. Rupture of anterior cruciate ligament is one of the most common injuries of knee joint, and thus leads to knee instability and traumatic osteoarthritis. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is usually performed to restore the anterior stability of knee joint, and is considered to reduce the secondary injury of medial meniscus, lateral meniscus and cartilage. Thus anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction can improve the function of knee joint. Traditional single bundle technique to reconstruct anterior cruciate ligament has been performed for many years. This technique can restore the anterior stability of knee joint and has excellent clini?cal results. Nearly 61%patients showed obvious radiographic osteoarthritis 20 years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone-patella-bone graft. But, there is no agreement regarding to reduce the development of osteoarthritis after reconstruc?tion of anterior cruciate ligament. However, it has been reported that osteoarthritis would develop after reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament in long term follow up study. Recently, with the further understanding of anatomy of biomechanics of anterior cru?ciate ligament, new techniques for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are developed, such as double bundle reconstruction, anatomic reconstruction and individual reconstruction. It remains controversial that whether these new technique can prevent the development of osteoarthritis after rupture of anterior cruciate ligament. Currently, no reconstruction technique for anterior cruci?ate ligament is perfect, and every technique has advantages and disadvantages. In terms of reducing the prevalence of osteoarthri?tis after reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament, which technique is the best still remains unclear. New treatment and evalua?tion methods should be developed. In the future, not only the restoration of stability of knee joint should be considered, but also the articular cartilage contact kinematics including tibiofemoral joint and patellofemoral joint after anterior cruciate ligament recon?struction. Reduction of the development of osteoarthritis is an important topic after reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament.

Objective To investigate expression of recombinant adenovirus(rAV) vector-mediated report gene in kidney, and to seek for the best passway of rAV vector-mediated gene transfer in vivo.Methods Thirty Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were divided into 5 groups randomly. rAV-GFP(1013viral particales?L-1) was injected through different ways. 2, 7 and 14 d after injection, GFP expression in left kidney, right kidney, liver and lung was evaluated by fluorescence microscope and computer software. Results GFP gene expressed in kidey and reached peak 7 d after injection expression. Conclusion rAV vector-mediated report gene can be transducted in kidney. The rAV-mediated transgene expression in kidney is a potential strategy in the treatment of renal diseases.

Objective To explore the expression of interleukin-8(IL-8) in the brain tissue and serum and effect of Dexamethason in rats with local cerebral ischemic.Methods The rats were randomly divided into blank control group,shamoperated group,ischemic group and Dexamethasone group.The latter two groups were divided into 1 h,2 h,4 h,8 h,12 h,24 h,48 h,72 h after oppration groups,respectively,12 rats in each group.The cerebral ischemical models were made by thread-embolism.The expression of IL-8 in brain tissue and serum at each time point were detected by ELISA method.Results In the ischemic group and Dexamethasone group,the expression of IL-8 of the brain tissue and serum were increased gradually in 1 h after ischemia,and reached the perk in 24 h and 4 h respectively.Which were significantly lower than those in the blank control group or shamoperated group(all P

Objective To investigate the effect of spleen-supplementing and lung-strengthening therapy on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)treated by mechanical ventilation and enteral-parenteral nutritional support.Methods Acute exacerbation COPD patients complicated with respiratory failure treated by mechanical ventilation were randomized into group A(n=32)and group B(n=30).The two groups received invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation,routine western medicine and enteral-parenteral nutritional support.Group A received oral use of Jianpi Yifei Granules(mainly composed of Radix Ginseng Destillata,Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae,Poria,Radix Ophiopogonis,Cortex Mori,Radix Astragali)and electroacupuncture(EA)on bilateral acupoints of Zusanli additionally.The treatment lasted 2 weeks.The changes of leg circumference and arm circumference,and serum levels of total protein(TP),albumin(Alb),prealbumin(PAlb)and hemoglobin(Hb)were observed.The outcomes of mortality rate during hospitalization,success rate of removing respiratory machine,time for parenteral nutritional support,time for invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation,fee for nutritional support and hospitalization fee in intensive care unit(ICU)were compared in the two groups.The incidences of complications of pneumonia,fungal infection,and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage were also observed during mechanical ventilation.Results After treatment,serum levels of TP and PAlb were higher in group A than those in group B(P0.05);leg circumference and arm circumference in the two groups increased(P0.05).Time for parenteral nutritional support,time for invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation,and fee for nutritional support and hospitalization fee in ICU were lower in group A than those in group B(P

Objective To discuss the impact of zedoary turmerie oil(ZTO) injection over oncosis index and Bcl-2 expression of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cell.Methods After ZTO injection acted on human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells,the changes in the nucleus were observed by fluorescence microscope,oncosis index was counted by projection electron microscope,the situation of cell DNA breakage was observed by agarose gel electrophoresis,and cell Bcl-2 gene expression was observed by immunohistochemical method.Results After treated by ZTO injection for 48 hours,human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells shows that oncosis cell was swelling in fluorescence microscope,the volume increased,the membrane area narrowed,the nuclear chromatin expansed.The oncosis index increased with dose-effect relationship,DNA electrophoresis showed diffuse type and Bcl-2 gene expression was down-regulated.Conclusion ZTO injection can increase oncosis index of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cell with the concentration,and lower Bcl-2 gene expression,which may be one of the mechanisms of ZTO injection caused oncosis of SKOV3 cell.

In recent 30 years, it was approved that extracorporeal shock wave (ESW) is effective on musculoskeletal disorders. Hypertonia is a common complication in patients suffered from central nervous system lesion. Recently, there were several literatures report hypertonia can be treated with ESW. This paper reviewed the research in basic principle of ESW and its use on hypertonia.

Objective To explore the effect of collaborative health education by both doctors and nurses on parturition?Methods One hundred and sixty primiparas at uterogestation undergoing analgesic parturition were assigned equally into the control and observation groups according to their admission sequence? The control group received routine nursing intervention and the observation group the collaborative health education by both doctors and nurses? The two groups were compared in terms of analgesic effect,vaginal delivery and post-partum hemorrhage? Result The rates of analgesic delivery and vaginal delivery in the observation group were significantly higher and the volume of postpartum hemorrhage was significantly smaller than those of the control group(all P < 0?05)?Conclusion The collaborative health education may be effective in alleviating mental stress of the preimiparas,enhancing the analgesic effect,increasing the rate of vaginal delivery and decreasing the volume of postpartum hemorrhage?
