Journal of International Oncology 2017;44(5):346-350
Objective To study the expressions and prognostic significance of high mobility group protein A1 (HMGA1) and high mobility group protein A.2 (HMGA2) in pancreatic carcinoma.Methods The expressions of HMGA1 and HMGA2 were examined by immunohistochemical SP method in 60 cases of pancreatic carcinoma and 30 cases of normal pancreatic tissues.The relationship between the expression and prognosis was also analyzed.Results The expressions of HMGA1 and HMGA2 in pancreatic carcinoma were significantly higher than those in normal tissues,and the positive expression rates were 70.0% vs.6.7% (x2 =32.105,P =0.000) and 73.3% vs.3.3% (x2 =39.200,P =0.000).The expression of HMGA1 in pancreatic carcinoma was correlated with histological grade (x2 =6.774,P =0.034),TNM stage (x2 =4.776,P =0.029) and lymphatic metastasis (x2 =12.614,P =0.000).The expression of HMGA2 in pancreatic carcinoma was correlated with histological grade (x2 =8.200,P =0.017) and TNM stage (x2 =7.253,P =0.007).The expression of HMGA1 was positively associated with HMGA2 expression (r =0.393,P =0.001).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the median survival time of HMGA1 and HMGA2 positive patients were shorter than those patients with HMGA1 negative and HMGA2 negative (14.0 months vs.24.0 months,x2 =14.568,P =0.000;15.0 months vs.21.0 months,x2 =7.270,P =0.007).Conclusion HMGA1 and HMGA2 are highly expressed in pancreatic carcinoma,and play synergistic roles in the generation and progress of pancreatic carcinoma.There is certain value of combined detection of HMGA1 and HMGA2 to predict the prognosis of pancreatic carcinoma.

Chinese Journal of Medical Science Research Management 2016;29(6):420-423,429
Objective To understand the status quo of continuing medical education in different levels of hospitals in primary health technical personnel,and provide suggestions for the development of continuing medical education.Methods Questionnaire survey,Statistical analysis and Interview.Results Health technical personne of medical institutions at all levels in primary health technical personnel were generally more emphasis on continuing medical education,but the management system,input and the need are different in the different levels of hospital.Continuing medical education in the basic level hospitals is much lower than the high level hospitals.Conclusions We should strengthen the transformation of continuing education mode,put forward the practical development strategy,improve the level of medical education,and narrow the gap between different levels of hospitals,so as to achieve the purpose of common progress.

Objective To analyze the prognostic factors for patients with hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 159 ACLF patients with HE.The hepatic encephalopathy was determined to baseline,the patients were divided into survivors(n =13) and nonsurvivors(n =146),The 32 factors affecting the prognosis were analyzed by Cox proportional hazard model with SPSS.Results One-month,three-month,and six-month survival rates were 20.13%,10.06% and 8.18%,respectively.Cox regression analysis of prognostic factors showed that it could the stage of hepatic encephalopathy and HRS significantly improve the survival rate of the patients with HE in acute-on-chronic liver failure.The stage of hepatic encephalopathy and HRS could significantly decrease the survival rate of the patients(x2 =18.344,11.368,all P < 0.05),elevated the levels of hepatic encephalopathy (relative risk (RR) =1.591) and HRS (RR =1.809) indicate worse prognosis with hepatic encephalopathy in acute-on-chronic failure.Conclusion The stage of hepatic encephalopathy and HRS were independent risk factor sof prognosis in acute-on-chronic liver failure.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the protective effect of celastrol on allergic rhinitis rats and its possible mechanism.
METHOD:
Allergic rhinitis (AR) model of rats was established by OVA. The behavioural characteris tics were observed at the 1st, 4th and 7th dayafter stimulation treatment. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) in the nasal mucosa breathing zone were measured. The expression of the nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (NRF2) nuclear protein and the catalytic submit of glutamylcysteine ligase (GCLC) cytoplasmic protein in the nasal mucosa breath ing zone were determined.
RESULT:
We observed obvious behaviour changes related with allergic rhinitis in AR rats, together with decrease of SOD, GSH and GSH-PX and increase of MDA in the nasal mucosa breathing zone. Moreover, NRF2 nuclear protein expression and GCLC cytoplasmic expression were suppressed in the nasal mucosa. The changes above were alleviated in celastrol pretreatment group. The potential mechanism may be related to the upregulation of NRF2 nuclear protein expression and GCLC cytoplasmic expression after celastrol pretreatment.
CONCLUSION
Celastrol can significantly relieve the allergic symptoms in AR rats. The mechanism of this protective effects may relate to the upregulation of NRF2 nuclear protein expression and GCLC cytoplasmic expression in the nasal mucosa breathing zone.

AIM To study the effect of lidamycin on the expression of genes involved in invasion regulation in HCT-8 human colon cancer cells. METHODS HCT-8 human colon cancer cells were treated with lidamycin (10 nmol*L-1) for 8 h. The effect of lidamycin on the expression of genes were detected by cDNA arrays, Northern blot and RT-PCR. RESULTS Hybridization of the entire cDNA populations to Atlas Arrays showed that lidamycin down-regulated the expression level of MMP-9 and up-regulated the expression level of TIMP-1. These changes were confirmed by Northern blot and RT-PCR. CONCLUSION The results indicate that lidamycin may exhibit its anti-invasive activity by inhibitting the production of type IV collagenase whilst enhancing the production of tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase.

Objective To investigate the surgical correction of alar deformity and repairing function of unilateral cleft lip in infant. Methods Millards procedure was used to incise skin, muscle and mucosa, correct the nasal deformity through lip. At the normal side, ophthalmic scissors was applied to incise lips muscle and skin, and reach the deep level of the base of nasal pillor, cut the abnormal attachment between the orbicular muscle of mouth and anterior nasal spina, and sharp dissect cartilage and skin in nasal wing through deep level of nasal pillor. At the cleft side, the abnormal muscle branch was cut that attached at the down side of the base of nose and pyriform aperture, the tissue between nasal base and lip, maxilla relaxed, and the cartilage and skin in the nasal wing at the same side dissected. The deform cartilage was repairied as the same of normal side. After the rehabilitation of cartilage of nasal wing, the soft tissue at deep level was moved to normal location, but the deep level structure of nasal wing cartilage, nasal septum cartilage and nasal bone did not dissected. After the dissection of orbicular muscle of mouth, the muscle in nose and lip must be relaxed in illous side. The orbicular muscle of mouth was sewed under the condition of tensionless. The repairing of orbicular muscle of mouth will improve the balance of muscular strength around the nose. Thus, the deviation of nasal pillor was corrected and the base of nose repaired. Results Eighty cases of infant with unilateral cleft lip at the age of 3 months ~12 months, in which 11 cases were Ⅰ?,16 Ⅱ, and 3 Ⅲ?. Eighty cases were low grade alar deformity, and 13 middle grade deformity. After operation, 52 cases were better, 17 cases were good, and 11 cases were worse. The postoperational result was good. Conclusion While performing the cleft lip operation or Millard operation, the authors can correct the nasal deformity through lip. So, it is recommended that cleft lip and the alar deformity can be repaired at the same time.

Objective To explore the effects of obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) on the cognitive function of pilots. Methods The cognitive function of 13 pilots diagnosed as severe OSAHS and 10 healthy pilots as control was evaluated using Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Flicker Fusion Frequency Indicator, Many Reaction Time Tester, Space Place Memory Span Tester, Attention Instrument and Guard Tester. The correlation analyses were also performed between the ESS, AHI, MinSaO2% with the results of each cognitive test in the OSAHS group. Results Compared with the healthy control subjects, the scores of ESS in OSAHS group were significantly higher (P
