RNA interference which focuses on siRNA becomes a studying focus in malignant tumor of gene therapy due to its high efficiency and effect, the sequence of specific characteristics and action fast. In recent years many research shows that constructing and transfecting malignancy related gene targeting specific siRNA, can effectively suppress tumor growth and invasion. Combination with other conventional treatments can improve the curative effect. It's a promising new method of gene therapy in head and neck neoplasms.

Twenty four hour esophageal pH monitoring was performed in 79 ambulatary patients suffering from reflux symptoms, in whom 40 with esophagitis and 39 without. The aim of the study was to investigate the correlation between reflux symptoms and objective occurrence of acid reflux in the patients with and without esophagitis. The results showed that the six parameters of Johnson/DeMeester score were significantly higher for esophagitis than endoscopic negative patients. The composite score were (85.85?15 10) and (26 20?9 25), respectively( P

0.05).The incidence of adverse events was low and similar in each group. CONCLUSIONS Rifaximin is a safe and effective alternative to ciprofloxacin in the treatment of acute infectious diarrhea in adults.

Objective To approach the effects of full Marathon on striated muscle and renal function of Marathon amateurs without complaints. Methods A prospective self-paired design study was conducted. The amateurs without body discomfort, hematuria, brown urine, or persistent muscle pain within 1 week after the 2012 Xiamen International Marathon Race were enrolled voluntarily. The peripheral blood and random urine specimens of all subjects under static status 1 week before the race and after the race instantly (within 10 minutes after finishing the race) were collected to detect markers of renal function and striated muscle injury. Results Sixty-one subjects were included in the final analysis of the study with full Marathon of 42.195 km and mean race time of (297.05± 55.60) minutes. Compared with those under static status before the race, the markers of renal function including the levels of urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucusamidase [NAG (U/L): 64.00 (54.50, 85.50) vs. 9.50 (8.10, 11.50)], urinary β2-microspheres protein [β2-MG (μg/L): 261.00 (128.50, 1 608.00) vs. 66.60 (33.75, 123.00)], random urinary creatinine [UCr (μmol/L): 19 066.56±10 938.31 vs. 5 872.52±4 363.20] and serum creatinine [SCr (μmol/L): 129.97±25.84 vs. 97.39±14.51] immediately after the race were significantly increased (all P < 0.01); the markers of muscle injury including the levels of serum creatine kinase [CK (U/L): 864.00 (504.00, 1 644.00) vs. 164.00 (128.00, 256.00)], lactic dehydrogenase [LDH (U/L): 383.26±141.69 vs. 182.23±41.12], myoglobin [Mb (mg/L): 1 880.00 (1 080.00, 3 300.00) vs. 42.00 (36.00, 54.50)], alanine aminotransferase [ALT (U/L): 27.0 (19.5, 38.0) vs. 24.0 (15.0, 29.5)] and aspartate transaminase [AST (U/L): 52.07±25.13 vs. 28.28±11.86] were also significantly increased (all P < 0.01), and the increase in CK, Mb, and LDH were more significant. It was shown by correlation analysis that CK after race was negatively correlated with age (r = -0.352, P = 0.005) and body mass index (r = -0.271, P = 0.035), and it was positively correlated with racing time (r = 0.387, P = 0.002) and urinary β2-MG after the race instantly (r = 0.364, P = 0.004). Mb after race was negatively correlated with body mass index (r = -0.331, P = 0.009), and it was positively correlated with urinary β2-MG after the race instantly (r = 0.315, P = 0.013). LDH after race was negatively correlated with age (r = -0.275, P = 0.032) and body mass index (r = -0.377, P = 0.003), and it was positively correlated with urinary β2-MG after the race instantly (r = 0.424, P = 0.001). Conclusion Full Marathon could significantly impact striated muscle and renal function of Marathon amateurs without complaints.

OBJECTIVE: To study the combined transfection of the siRNA target for Hif-lα and Survivin gene to human NPC CNE-2 cell and its effects on the proliferation and cycle of this cell. METHOD: Combined transfection of the siRNA target for Hif-lα and Survivin gene to human NPC CNE-2 cell, these plasmids were respectively transfected into the same cells. Cell proliferation was detected with MTT assay. The inhibitory effects on target genes were evaluated with RT-PCR and Western Blot at the levels of mRNA and protein, respectively. RESULT: MTT showed that CNE-2 cell proliferation in multi-gene plasmid group was more significantly inhibited than a single gene. The expression of mRNA and protein of two different genes were both decreased in HS group, and the interference effect of multiple genes was better than the single-gene(P<0.01). CONCLUSION HS group could restrain cell proliferation and interference the mRNA and protein expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2 cell, which was better than the other groups.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of Minilase-S on patients with dyspepsia.Methods A randomized,placebo-controlled,double blind and multicenter study was conducted.Two hundred and forty patients with dyspepsia symptoms(anorexia,fullness,abdominal discomfort and distension)were collected according to total symptom scores over 20 with visual analog scales.Each patient was randomly received either Minilase-S(2 capsules t.i.d)or placebo(2 capsules t.i.d)for 2 weeks.The symptoms scores were evaluated at treatment week 1,week 2,and 1 week after discontinued therapy.Results Two hundred and sixteen patients(105 patients in Minilase group and 111 patients in placebo group)finished the study.There was no difference in demographic data,anorexia,fullness,discomfort and distension score and the total symptom score between two groups.However,at treatment week 1,week 2 and 1 week after discontinued therapy,symptoms and total symptom score were significantly decreased in Minilase-S group compared to placebo group(all P value＜0.05).The total effective rates in treatment week 1,week 2 and 1 week after discontinued therapy were 64.76%,77.05%and 66.99%,respectinely,which were higer that those in placebo group(27.93%,37.84% and 29.36%,respectively)(P＜0.05).There was no severe side effects in both Minilase-S and placebo groups.Conclusions Minilase-S can significantly improve symptoms in patients with dyspepsia,which may be as one choice in the management of dyspepsia or in combined therapy.

Objective To study the effect of black granule capsules(BGCs) on growth of transplanted mouse hepatocarcinoma cells, cell proliferation cycle and apoptosis.Methods KM mouse were subcutaneously inoculated with Hepatocarcinoma cells (H22) and randomly divided into the model control group, the positive control group, the low, medium and high does of BGC group after 24h. The positive control group received intraperitoneal injection with 30 mg/kg cyclophosphamide. Mice of BGC groups were intragastricaly with different dosage of BGC (400, 800, 1 600 mg/kg). The model control group received intragastricaly with normal saline. The drugs were administrated once a day for seven days. The tumor inhibition rate was calculated at 24 h after the last administration. Flow cytometry was used to detect changes of cell cycle and apoptosis in harvested H22 tumor cells.Results The group of high does showed significant inhibitory effect on the growth of transplanted H22 tumor cells withthe inhibitory rate 38.78% (male) and 43.57% (female). Compared with model control group, groups of different dosages decreased time of G0-G1 phase (58.06% ± 9.65%, 55.10% ± 5.89%, 61.36% ± 15.95%vs. 74.47% ± 2.63%), increased tiem of Sphase (33.96% ± 11.90%, 32.67% ± 4.04%, 33.89% ± 9.82%vs. 14.37% ± 4.92%), and increased the apoptosis rate (31.12% ± 1.85%, 31.89% ± 2.16%, 40.64% ± 0.55%vs.21.75% ± 2.64%).Conclusion BGC has antitumor effect on mouse hepatocarcinoma H22 tumor cells, and its mechanism was to regulate cell proliferation cycle and induce the apoptosis.
