Objective To analyze the effect of Huashi Xingyu Qingre decoction therapy through identification of the differentially expressed saliva proteins of oral lichen planus. Method The saliva of OLP patients before and after treatment were collected. Total saliva proteins were extracted. The differentially expressed saliva proteins were screened by two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis and identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The differentially expressed proteins were analyzed by Western-blot. Results Six differentially expressed proteins were identified as salivary amylase, serum albumin, IgM, carbonic anhydrase VI, zinc-α2- glycoprote and sIgA. The expression level of serum albumin, IgM, carbonic anhydrase VI and zinc-α2-glycoprotein after treatment were lower than that before. However, the expression level of sIgA was higher. The differences were statistically significant. Conclusions Some differentially expressed saliva proteins of OLP before and after Huashi Xingyu Qingre decoction therapy are characterized, and they may play a vital part in the occurrence and development of OLP.

Objective Oral lichen planus ( OLP) is a common complaint in the oral mucosa , for which there is no definite therapy hitherto.This article aimed to investigate the possible effect of Huashi Xingyu Qingre Decoction (HXQD) on OLP. Methods This study included 30 randomly selected cases of OLP treated with HXQD .Fasting venous blood and total serum protein were obtained before and after medication for screening and identification of OLP-related differential proteins by two-dimensional fluorescence differ-ence gel electrophoresis (2D DIGE) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), followed by Western blot validation . Results Haptoglobin , antithrombin Ⅲ, C1 complement , and vitamin D binding protein were differentially expressed in the serum of the OLP patients before and after treated with HXQD .Compared with the baseline , the expression of haptoglobin was significantly in-creased (103.086 ±27.536 vs 159.704 ±24.228, P<0.05) while that of antithrombin Ⅲ remarkably decreased after treatment (150.00 ±54.04 vs 98.00 ±28.04, P<0.05). Conclusion Haptoglobin, antithrombin Ⅲ, C1 complement, and vitamin D binding protein are differentially expressed in the serum of OLP patients before and after HXQD medication , which may be associated with the development and progression of OLP .

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical application of flow-through hybridization to human papillomavirus(HPV) subtype detection.METHODS A total of 305 female patients infected with HPV were selected for HPV subtype analysis using flow-through hybridization and the assessment of HPV subtype on cervical lesions was analyzed.RESULTS All 21 different subtypes were found.From 305 cases 173 patients were infected with single-type HPV and 132 patients were infected with multiple-type HPV.The most commonly found high-risk types were HPV16(17.6%),HPV52(9.8%),HPV58(9.0%),HPV33(6.3%),HPV18(5.4%) and HPV68(5.2%) and the low-risk types were HPV11(14.3%) and HPV6(6.5%).The high-risk HPV increased and the low-risk HPV declined along with the upgrade of the cervical lesions.CONCLUSIONS Technology of flow-through hybridization is able to detect multiple HPV subtype.The distinction between low and high-risk HPV subtypes is seemed useful in prevention and management of cervical cancer.

Chronic visceral hypersensitivity is an important type of chronic pain with unknown etiology and pathophysiology. Recent studies have shown that epigenetic regulation plays an important role in the development of chronic pain conditions. However, the role of miRNA-325-5p in chronic visceral pain remains unknown. The present study was designed to determine the roles and mechanism of miRNA-325-5p in a rat model of chronic visceral pain. This model was induced by neonatal colonic inflammation (NCI). In adulthood, NCI led to a significant reduction in the expression of miRNA-325-5p in colon-related dorsal root ganglia (DRGs), starting to decrease at the age of 4 weeks and being maintained to 8 weeks. Intrathecal administration of miRNA-325-5p agomir significantly enhanced the colorectal distention (CRD) threshold in a time-dependent manner. NCI also markedly increased the expression of CCL2 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 2) in colon-related DRGs at the mRNA and protein levels relative to age-matched control rats. The expression of CXCL12, IL33, SFRS7, and LGI1 was not significantly altered in NCI rats. CCL2 was co-expressed in NeuN-positive DRG neurons but not in glutamine synthetase-positive glial cells. Furthermore, CCL2 was mainly expressed in isolectin B4-binding- and calcitonin gene-related peptide-positive DRG neurons but in few NF-200-positive cells. More importantly, CCL2 was expressed in miR-325-5p-positive DRG neurons. Intrathecal injection of miRNA-325-5p agomir remarkably reduced the upregulation of CCL2 in NCI rats. Administration of Bindarit, an inhibitor of CCL2, markedly raised the CRD threshold in NCI rats in a dose- and time-dependent manner. These data suggest that NCI suppresses miRNA-325-5p expression and enhances CCL2 expression, thus contributing to visceral hypersensitivity in adult rats.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety between endoscopic and microscopic surgery for transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma.
METHODSRandomized or semi-random controlled trials comparing endoscopic with microscopic surgery for transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma and published between January 2000 and July 2013 were recruited. This meta-analysis (RevMan 5.1 software) was conducted to estimate short-term and long-term complications. Fixed random effect model or semi-random effect model was established to analyse the data.
RESULTSTwelve randomized or semi-random controlled trials were included in this study. Among 848 patients studied, 380 of them were treated with endoscopic and 468 were treated with microscopic. The analysis of the basic characteristics of these patients included in these studies showed that: compared with microscopic, the follow-up of patients in endoscopic group was shorter [OR = -2.29, 95%CI (-4.18, -0.39), P = 0.02], while there were no significant difference in gender proportion and the age of patients between the two groups (P > 0.05) . Also, compared with endoscopic, there was a significant addition in the incidence of diabetes insipidus [OR = 0.45, 95%CI(0.30,0.66), P < 0.0001] and other complications [OR = 0.26, 95%CI ( 0.12, 0.57), P = 0.0008] in the microscopic group, the blood loss during surgery was more [OR = -0.62, 95%CI(-1.19, 0.05), P = 0.03], the rate of complete tumor resection lower [OR = 0.61, 95%CI(0.39, 0.96), P = 0.03], and the hospitalization [OR = -1.53, 95%CI(-2.18, -0.88), P < 0.00001] was also significantly longer, there was no significant difference in the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, operation time and vision improvement rate (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONFor patients with pituitary tumors, endoscopic surgery may be more suitable compared with microscopic.
