The discovery and application of cancer stem cell markers have very important significance on tumor treatment and prevention.DCLK1 is discovered only in the cancer stem cell marker but not nomal stem cells for the first time.Some studies have shown that DCLK1 expression was detectded in gastrointestinal cancer,esoph-ageal cancer,bile duct carcinoma and glioma.The expression of DCLK1 in tumor is closely related to tumor devel-opment,progression,and recurrenceand migration.Although DCLK1 remain to be known as cancer stem cell mark-er,it provides a new developing prospectives for tumor targeting specific treatment.

ObjectiveTo observe clinical effect of proteinuria treatment in hypertension and type 2 diabetes with enalaprilat joint losartan. Methods72 cases of hypertension and type 2 diabetes with proteinuria patients were divided into two groups randomiy,losartan and enalaprilat combination for the treatment group( n =36) ,losartan alone for the observation group( n =36) ,treatment 14 weeks. Observed two groups of blood pressure and 24h after treatment urinary albumin excretion rate. ResultsTwo groups of blood pressure than before treatment were reduced significantly(P ＜ 0.05), but after treatment between the two groups, the difference was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05 ).Two groups of patients after 14 weeks treatment, average 24h urine albumin excretion rate form( 105.2 ± 27.3 ) μg/min, ( 110. 3 ± 28.0) μg/min fell to(72.6 ± 26.5 ) μg/min, ( 87.5 ± 24.9 ) μg/min ( P ＜ 0. 01 ), the treatment group reduced more significant(P ＜0.05). ConclusionEnalaprilat joint losartan treatment at the same time,the effective step-down pressure, could improve the type 2 diabetes patients with early renal damage, and it suggested the early renal damage patients should be combined antihypertensive therapy as soon as possible.

Objective To investigate the effects of emodin on the migration and invasion ability and expressions of E-cadherin and Slug of human hepatoma cell lines HepG2; To discuss the possible mechanisms of anti-hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods HepG2 cells were cultured in vitro. The experimental group was treated with emodin at concentrations of 10μmol/L and 20μmol/L as. The negative control group was treated with the same volume of RPMI-1640 medium, while the positive control group was treated with 10μmol/L floxuridine. The cell matrix adhesion assay, wound healing and transwell chamber in vitro invasion assay were used to observe the effects of emodin on HepG2 cell adhesion rate and migration and invasion ability. Western blot analysis was used to observe the changes of expressions of E-cadherin and Slug.Results Compared with the negative control group, emodin inhibited significantly HepG2 cell adhesion rate and migration and invasion ability were in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05,P<0.01); Western blot analysis showed that the protein expression of E-cadherin increased significantly, and the level of Slug decreased significantly in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Emodin can significantly inhibit migration and invasion of HepG2 cells, which mechanism may up-regulate expressions of E-cadherin and down-regulate Slug.

Enamel hypoplasia is a surface defect of the tooth crown caused by a disturbance of enamel matrix secretion.Enamel hypoplasia may be inherited,or result from illness,malnutrition,trauma,or high concentrations of fluorides or strontium in the drinking water or food.Different types of enamel hypoplasia have been distinguished,such as pit-type,plane-type,and linear enamel hypoplasia.Hypoplasia has been related to the intensity and duration of stress events,the number of affected ameloblasts,and their position along the forming tooth crown.Amelogenesis imperfecta(AI) is a heterogeneous group of inherited defects in dental enamel formation,most teeth are affected in both the primary and permanent dentition.The malformed enamel can be unusually thin,soft,rough and stained.The strict definition of AI includes only those cases where enamel defects occur in the absence of other symptoms.Currently,there are seven candidate genes for AI: amelogenin,enamelin,ameloblastin,tuftelin,distal-less homeobox 3,enamelysin,and kallikrein 4.Since the enamel is formed according to a strict chronological sequence,and once formed,undergoes no repair or regeneration.Then the analysis the phenotype of enamel hypoplasia can provide insights of the severity of inherited or environmental stress and the molecular mechanism during the period of enamel formation.

AIM: To study the tilt of the intraocular lens (IOL) after Nd:YAG capsulotomy (YAG) and variation of the axial length (AL) in patients with posterior capsular opacification (PCO).METHODS: The study involved 18 eyes of 14 patients with PCO after uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery and IOL implantation.All patients had taken examinations,including testing best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) by using standard logarithmic visual acuity chart,images of ocular anterior segment and AL by OCT.After the examinations,YAG was operated upon all patients.Each eye received one drop of Diclofenac Sodium Eye Drops immediately after YAG,and patients had taken examinations listed above again.One week later,BCVA and OCT were tested as well.Data (BCVA,tilt of IOLs,and AL) were recorded and analyzed statistically by SPSS.RESULTS: Mean patient age was 73.93±6.94y,including 5 males and 9 females,8 left eyes and 10 right eyes,altogether 14 patients with 18 eyes.In this study,tilt of IOLs was defined as the angle of anterior surface of IOL and pupil plane (briefly called Tilt,unit:°).Before YAG,mean Tilt was 2.896±2.286°,mean AL was 23.56±0.55mm.1h after YAG,mean Tilt was 4.702±2.991°,mean AL was 23.40±0.59mm,and BCVA enhanced 3.72±1.74 lines.1wk after YAG,9 patients with 12 eyes were involved in the study.The mean Tilt of these 12 eyes was 3.175±1.791° 1h after YAG and 3.434±1.835° 1wk after YAG.There were significant differences between Tilt before YAG and Tilt 1h after YAG.There were no significant differences between AL before YAG and AL 1h after YAG.There were no significant differences between Tilt 1h after YAG and Tilt 1wk after YAG.The lines of enhancement of BCVA 1h after YAG was correlated to differences between Tilt before YAG and Tilt 1h after YAG,of which the correlation coefficient was-0.523.CONCLUSION: IOLs of patients with PCO tilted after YAG,while AL rarely changed.After YAG,the less IOLs tilted,the more BCVA enhanced.

Objective The aim of this study was to explore the association of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)promoter-308A/G polymorphism with rheumatoid arthritis(RA)susceptibility in East Asian population based on the meta-analysis. Methods We searched all the publications about the association between TNF-α promoter -308A/G polymorphism and RA in East Asian population from PubMed, Ebsco, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database(CBM), Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), and Wanfang (Chinese). Meta-analysis was performed for genotypes AA versus GG, GA versus GG, AA versus GG+GA,GA+AA versus GG, and A allele versus G allele in a fixed/random effect model. Results A total of 4 studies (957 cases and 1196 controls)were included in the current meta-analysis(three Chinese and one Japanese studies). When all groups were pooled, significant association of A allele and decreased RA risk was found (OR=0.36, 95%CI=0.16～0.80, P=0.01). When analyses were limited to race homogeneous population,significant association of A allele and decreased RA risk was found in Chinese population(OR=0.40, 95%CI=0.16～1.01, P=0.05). Conclusion This meta-analysis demonstrates significant negative association between TNF-α promoter-308A/G polymorphism and RA in East Asian and Chinese population.

BACKGROUND:Functional recovery after joint arthroplasty is an important indicator to evaluate the effect and prognosis of total knee arthroplasty, and is affected by patients and many kinds of outside factors. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the influencing factors of functional recovery of knee in patients with knee osteoarthritis after total knee arthroplasty. METHODS:Clinical data of 76 osteoarthritis patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty in the Dongying People’s Hospital from August 2007 to August 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Hospital for Special Surgery knee score, knee pain Visual Analogue Score, range of motion and posterior slop angle of tibial plateau were compared before and 6 months after surgery. Changes in anterior condylar offset were recorded before and after femoral prosthesis arthroplasty. SPSS 21.0 software was used to analyze the influential factors for Hospital for Special Surgery knee scores after arthroplasty. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Hospital for Special Surgery knee score, knee pain Visual Analogue Score, and range of motion were significantly higher 6 months after arthroplasty than that before arthroplasty (P<0.05). (2) Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated that preoperative Hospital for Special Surgery knee score, preoperative knee pain Visual Analogue Score, preoperative range of motion, preoperative posterior slop angle of tibial plateau and preoperative and postoperative anterior condylar offset changes were positively correlated with postoperative Hospital for Special Surgery knee score (P<0.05). Body mass index and inversion deformity angle were negatively correlated with postoperative Hospital for Special Surgery knee score (P<0.05). (3) Multiple linear regression analysis showed body mass index was negatively correlated with postoperative Hospital for Special Surgery knee score (P<0.05). Preoperative Hospital for Special Surgery knee score, preoperative knee pain Visual Analogue Score and preoperative posterior slop angle of tibial plateau were positively correlated with postoperative Hospital for Special Surgery knee score (P<0.05). (4) These results indicated that total knee arthroplasty significantly improved knee joint function. Body mass index, preoperative Hospital for Special Surgery knee score, preoperative knee pain Visual Analogue Score, preoperative posterior slop angle of tibial plateau and preoperative and postoperative anterior condylar offset changes were correlated with the recovery of joint function after total knee arthroplasty.

Objectire To investigate female urogenital fistula on the cause,diagnosis and treatment.Methods Thirty nine cases of patients were diagnosed ashaving genitourinary fistula by cystoscopy,intravenous urography,and blue methvlenelest.In 51%of cases were uretero-vaginal fistulas(20/39),one of them were trated byrenal ostomy.17 cases by early emergency ureteroneocystomy,2 cases by ureteralcatheter.In two complex patients with vesico.uretero-vaginal fistula(2/39),the repairwas associated with badder approach vesicovaginal fistula and early emergencyureteroneocystomy.In 44%of cases with vesicovaginal fistula(17/39)were trated bybladder approach after 3～27 months.Results 36 cases of patients were cured after surgery in one time,2 cases of ureteral intubation,1 case of nephrostomy and nephrectomy later with renal infection,1 case of uroclepsia complication.Conclusion Surgical repair of genitourinary fistula will have high rates of success if performed in proper time and appropriate approaches on the basis of patientinf eirmation and urinary fistula pathological type by experienced hands.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ)/Caspase-8/Caspase-3 signaling pathway in the development of hyperlipidemia in rats.Methods 60 healthy male SD rats 〔4-week old,weight (110 ± 10) g〕 were randomly divided into control group,high-fat diet group,folic acid group,vitamin B12 group,folic acid and vitamin B12 group.After one week's feeding for adaptability,the groups of foloc acid,vitamine B12 and foloc acid + vitamineB12 were dealt with intraperitoneal injection of folic acid (0.5 mg/d),vitamin B12 (0.05mg/d),and folic acid (0.5 mg/d) plus vitamin B12 (0.05 mg/d),respectively,and fed with high fat diet simultaneously.Control group was dealt with intraperitoneal injection of normal saline (0.5 ml/d)and fed with normal diet.High-fat diet group was only fed with high fat diet.Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to measure the mRNA level of PPARy,Caspase-8 and Caspase-3 in aorta abdominalis dissected at 17 weekends.Results Folic acid alone or jointed with vitamin B12 could effectively increase the level of PPARγ,while decrease the mRNA levels of Caspase8 and Caspase-3 as compared with high-fat diet group (P＜0.05),and folic acid plus vitamin B12 was more effective than folic acid alone (P＜0.05).Conclusions Folic acid alone or joined with vitamin B12 can improve the mRNA levels of PPARγ,Caspase-8 and Caspase-3 in vascular wall to protect endothelial injury from hyperlipidemia.

Objective To investigate the myocardial protection of adiponectin (ADP) /adiponectin receptor 1 (ADPR1) related-signal pathway in rats with limb ischemic preconditioning.Methods Thirty SD male rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group,myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI) group,limb ischemic preconditioning (LIPC) group,LY294002 (the PI3-specific inhibitor) pretreatment group and LY294002+LIPC group (n=10 each).The mRNA level of myocardial ADP and ADPR1,the protein expressions of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3k)phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot,respectively. Results As compared with sham-operation group,the mRNA levels of ADP and ADPR1 in MIRI group were significantly decreased (0.53 ± 0.07 vs.0.74 ± 0.08 and 0.52 ± 0.02 vs.0.72 ± 0.04,P＜0.05).Compared with MIRI group,the mRNA levels of ADP (0.72±0.21) and ADPRI (0.80±0.023) in LIPC group were increased,ADP(0.49±0.07) and ADPR1 (0.52± 0.02) mRNA were decreased in LY294002 group (both P＜0.05),but there were no difference in ADP(0.70±0.16) and ADPR1(0.78±0.05) mRNA between LY294002+LIPC group and MIRI group.The protein levels of Pl3k and p-Akt were lower in MIRI group than in sham-operation group (3.85±0.23 vs.2.83±0.22and 3.77±0.32 vs.2.66±0.29,P＜0.05).In contrast to MIRI group,the yield of PI3k (2.65±0.32)and p-Akt(2.26±0.27) protein (P＜0.05) were increased in LIPC group,but there were unproductive protein of PI3k (3.75 ± 0.65) and p-Akt (4.01 ± 0.71) in LY294002 group with no differences versus the levels of PI3k (3.23 ± 0.48) and p-Akt (3.17 ± 0.54) in LY294002 + LIPC group. Conclusions Limb ischemic preconditioning may protect myocardium by promoting serum adiponectin levels,improving myocardial mRNA expressions of ADP and ADPR1,activating the ADP/PI3k/Akt signaling pathway in reperfusion injury.
