Objective:To analyze the expression and clinical significance of lymphoid enhancer factor-1 (LEF-1) and P53 protein in hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:A total of 50 cases with hilarcholangiocarcinoma in the Tangshan People′s Hospital from March 2010 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.P53 protein mutation was detected by immunohistochemistry.At the same time, the expression of LEF1 protein in cholangiocarcinoma and adjacent normal tissues was detected.The expression of LEF1 and its correlation with clinicopathological parameters were analyzed.At the same time, the relationship between p53 protein mutation and LEF1 protein expression and the prognosis of patients were discussed.Results:The positive expression rate of LEF1 in tumor tissues were 62.00%(31/50), which was higher than in adjacent tissues 36.00% (18/50). The difference was statistically significant (χ 2=6.763, P=0.016). There were 28 patients with TP53 protein mutation and 22 patients with wild type.The positive rate of LEF1 in TP53 mutant group was 75.00% (21/28), which was significantly higher than that in TP53 wild type group(45.45%, 10/22), and the difference was statistically significant(χ 2=4.565, P=0.03). The LEF1 expression was associated with tumor differentiation, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and TP53 protein mutation (all P<0.05). LEF-1 expression was positively correlated with TP53 protein mutation ( r=0.294, P=0.04). The 1-year cumulative survival rate of patients with TP53 protein mutation was significantly lower than that of patients with TP53 protein wild type (60% vs.81%, P=0.0416). The 1-year cumulative survival rate of patients with LEF1 positive expression was also significantly lower than that of patients with negative expression (53% vs.82%, P=0.0180). Conclusion:LEF-1 is highly expressed in hilar cholangiocarcinoma, and patients with high expression have poor prognosis.The positive expression of LEF-1 in hilar cholangiocarcinoma patients with TP53 protein mutation was increased, and the prognosis of patients with TP53 protein mutation was poor.

Ex-RAD (ON01210) is a novel and efficient anti-radiation drug with low toxicity developed by US army and Onconova Pharmaceuticals in recent years. The significant survival advantage and low toxicity of Ex-RAD have contributed to the approval by the FDA as an investigational new drug in December 2008. Meanwhile, the drug is currently in phase I clinical trials in humans. In this paper, the chemical structure, synthesis route, detection method and pharmacological action of Ex-RAD were reviewed, and the appli-cation prospect of Ex-RAD was also explored.

Conclusion The hsa_circ_0018574 is highly expressed in colorectal tumors, and si-circ_0018574 could significantly inhibit the proliferation of HT29 cells, reduce cell division, and induce apoptosis.

As essential part of teachers' teaching practice, the design and arrangement of assignments is the main carrier of interaction between teachers and students, and is also an important learning way for students. According to the discipline characteristics and teaching modes of histology and embryology courses, we have developed a systematic assignment design model that covers theory, practice, and application with four types of assignments—pre-class assignments, exploratory assignments, practical assignments, and innovative assignments distributed before class, in class, after class, and throughout the teaching process. Behind this assignment design strategy is the concept of learner-centered teaching, which aims to help students learn professional knowledge and develop comprehensive literacy.
