Objective To explore the correlation of the gene polymorphism of the two single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)rs1443434andrs925489onforkheadboxEl(FOXE1)withthehighnormalthyroidstimulating hormone ( TSH) level in Chinese Han population. Methods 1 400 subjects with normal serum TSH and thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb) levels were included. According to TSH or TPOAb levels, the subjects were divided into high normal TSH group(H-TSH group,n=195) and normal TSH control group(TSH control group,n=1 205) or high normal TPOAb group ( H-TPOAb group, n=711 ) and low normal TPOAb group ( L-TPOAb group, n=689 ) , respectively. The genotypes on the two SNPs of all the subjects were performed by whole-genome genotyping chips. Results There were significant differences in rs925489 genotypic distributions and allele frequencies between H-TSH group and TSH control group(both P<0. 05). The genotype TT and allele T in H-TSH group were significantly higher than those in TSH control group(89. 75% vs 83. 15%, 94. 62% vs 91. 29%). The normal TSH levels were positively associated with rs925489 genotypic distributions after adjustment for sex, age, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol(P<0. 01). There were no significant differences in rs1443434 genotypic distributions and allele frequencies between two TSH groups or two TPOAb groups. Conclusion FOXE1 rs925489 gene polymorphism may be correlated with the high normal TSH level in Chinese Han population.

BACKGROUND:5-Fluorouracil occupies an important position in the treatment of gastric cancer, but its long-term use can easily induce adverse reactions such as myelosuppression and leukopenia. Polylactic acid and its copolymers have a higher biocompatibility, and their decomposer cannot gather in the body.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the in vitro cytotoxicity mechanism of 5-fluorouracil-loaded polylactic acid nanoparticles on gastric cancer cel lines.
METHODS:Ten mice were selected in this study. 5-fluorouracil-loaded polylactic acid nanoparticles (1×10-7, 1×10-6, 1×10-5, 1×10-4 mol/L) were prepared using ultrasonic emulsification method. Kiling effect of polylactic acid nanoparticles on gastric cancer cel lines in vitrowere detected. Then, the inhibition rate was calculated at different concentrations.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Under the transmission electron microscope, 5-fluorouracil-loaded polylactic acid nanoparticles had good shape and relatively evenly distributed with no adhesions. After drug administration, the drug concentration was 50% at 24 hours and 62.9% at 72 hours. After 48 hours co-culture with single 5-fluorouracil or 5-fluorouracil-loaded polylactic acid nanoparticles, the viability of gastric cancer cels showed a decrease trend with the increase of drug concentrations, and moreover, 5-fluorouracil-loaded polylactic acid nanoparticles had a better cel inhibition ability than the single 5-fluorouracil (P < 0.05). The IC50value of 5-fluorouracil-loaded polylactic acid nanoparticles was significantly lower than that of 5-fluorouracil (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that polylactic acid nanoparticles as good drug carriers have a strong drug loading capacity and increase drug concentration in the body, but cannot reduce the biological activity of 5-fluorouracil, which provide new ideas for the treatment of gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the expression and clinical significance of Rad52, a homologous recombination repair gene, in tissues of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
METHOD:
The expression of Rad52 was detected with three-step immunohistochemistry technique in tissues of 38 NPC patients and which have the corresponding paracancerous tissues. All of the Rad52 expression and clinical data (gender, age, clinical stage ) were compared and analyzed to conclude the relationship between them.
RESULT:
The Rad52 expressions were significantly different from NPC tissues to peri-NPC tissues (P < 0.05). It was found by Spearman analysis method that the Rad52 expression decreased with patients'clinical stages (P < 0.05), but has no significant relationship with gender, age, recurrence, and lymphonode metastasis (P > 0.05). The expression of Rad52 influenced the survival time of NPC patients significantly (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The Rad52 expression can be a useful prognostic and treatment factor for NPC patients.

Tsutsugamushi disease, also known as scrub typhus, is a zoonosis caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, with rats as the main sources of infection and chigger mites as the only medium of transmission, and has no effective vaccines. Tsutsugamushi disease can be divided into summer, autumn and winter types according to seasons in China, while the summer type is characterized by strong virulence, typical and severe symptoms, high rates of misdiagnosis and mortality. The summer type of tsutsugamushi disease is distributed in the south of 31°N in China, with the epidemic time from June to August, and the cases are predominantly females, farmers and people at ages of over 40 years. Affected by natural environment, social and economic factors, the epidemic areas and the number of cases of summer type of tsutsugamushi disease are increasing continuously. Based on publications pertaining to the epidemiology of summer type of tsutsugamushi disease in China from 1960 to 2023, this review summarizes the mechanism of transmission, epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors, so as to provide the basis for prevention and control of summer type of tsutsugamushi disease in China.

ObjectiveTo investigate long-term effect on radiofrequency heat-coagulation (RF)endometrial ablation in treatment of anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB). MethodsFrom Jul.2001 to Nov. 2009, 1 196 patients with DUB who were failed by medical treatment( including 127 patients with dysmenorrheal) were enrolled into this study in Jinan Millitary General HospitaL Those patients were divided into two groups according to age:427 patients at age of or more than 45 years (average age 48 years) in Group A who were treated by RF procedure for amenorrhea;769 patients at age of less than 45 years old (average 37 years) in group B were treated by RF for controlling excessive menstrual bleeding. All the patients had the results of menstrual score (pictorial blood loss assessment chart, PBAC), hemoglobin (Hb) ,endometrial curettage pathology and hysteroscopy examination immediately after RF procedure; Some patients still had another endometrial curettage pathology and clinical results in 6 months after RF. The mean follow-up time was 72 months ( range:6 to 100 months). The evaluation criterion for RF treatment was to use optimal and significant effect measurements. For group A, the optimal treatment effect (cure) was defined as bleeding cessation and achieving amenorrhea that continued for more than 12 months after treatment. For group B, the optimal treatment effect (cure) was also defined as bleeding cessation and resuming normal menstruation which continued for more than 12 months after treatment. Significant treatment effect was defined as irregular, minor bleeding, but PBAC score less than 100 within 12 months. If patient symptoms and PBAC scores did not change compared with those before treatment, the treatment was defined as failure. For dysmenorrhea, the optimal treatment effect was disappearance for more than 12 months, the significant treatment effect was remission, and treatment failure was not changed from the pre-treatment baseline. The effective rate was the sum of that of the optimal and significant effect. One hundred and twentyfive patients with DUB treated by agents at the same time were chosen as control group. Results( 1 ) The recent and long-term effective rates for bleeding cessation by RF: the total recent effective rates within 1 months were 94. 82% ( 1134/1196), including 96. 5% (412/427) in group A and 93.9% (722/769) in group B. The total curative rates for dysmenorrheal were 82. 7% ( 105/127 ), including 86. 4% ( 38/44 ) in group A and 80. 7% ( 67/83 ) in group B. Pathology examination after hysteroscopy immediately after RF showed a completely and whole destroyed endometrium in group A, and a little rested endometrium in group B. The long-term effect rates for bleeding cessation by RF after 12, 24 and 36 months were 92. 55% (969/1047), 93.9% (866/922) and 93.7% (609/650), respectively. PBAC and Hb in group A and group B within 12, 24, 36 and more than 36 months were improved significantly ( P < 0. 05 ). (2) Complications : the major complication was irregular minor bleeding in 1 to 2 months after treatment, the rate was 8.03% (96/ 1196). The second one was menorrhea in 3 months after RF, the rate was 5. 18% (62/1 196 ). This condition was corrected by the second RF. No hysterectomy was performed on those patients. Conclusion RF is the safe, efficient and minimal invasive procedure in treatment for DUB. The mechanism of keeping longterm curative effect and preventing recurrence is due to endonetrium inactivation and fibrosis by thermocoagulation.
