The organophosphorus insecticides including a large group of insecticides were widely used in the world in the agriculture and household. Over 80% of the pesticides used in China are organophosphorus pesticides. Workers and the general population may be exposed to insecticides mixtures through water,air and the residue of food. After entering into human body,the insecticide mixtures can cause a combined toxicity. In this paper,the effects and toxicity mechanisms of combined exposures on health were expounded.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-protein coding transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides. Most lncRNAs have pro-nounced oncogenic effects associated with tumorigenesis and progression, promoting the proliferation, migration, invasion, and me-tastasis of tumor cells. The specific lncRNAs expression in particular types of cancers makes them promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. Currently, studies on lncRNAs expression, functions, and mechanisms have attracted considerable attention in cancer re-search. However, these studies mainly focus on epitheliogenic malignant tumors. In this review, we outline the current state of infor-mation on lncRNAs and research progress on its role in haematopoietic and lymphoid tissue tumors.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of intense pulsed light(IPL) and radiofrequency radiation on the appearance,histopathological manifestation,dermal depth and collagen content in BALB/c mouse skin.MethodsThe back of BALB/c mice was irradiated with intense pulsed light(IPL group,n =9),radiofrequency (RF group,N =9),IPL and radiofrequency (IPL+RF group,n =9) respectively,for 4 sessions at 1-week intervals followed by 2 sessions at 2-week intervals.Three mice remaining untreated served as the control group.The appearance of skin on the back of mice was observed at different time points after irradiation.Some mice were sacrificed and skin specimens were obtained from the back at week 4,8 and 12 after the first irradiation.Hematoxylin and eosin staining was performed to observe the histopathological manifestation and measure the dermal depth of mouse skin,and Masson staining to detect the expression of collagen fiber in mouse skin.ResultsNo local adverse effects were observed in the back skin of mice after irradiation with IPL or radiofrequency.Since the 8th week after the first irradiation,the dermal layer had appeared to be thickened,with an increase in the content of collagen fiber and extraeellular matrix,in the IPL group,RF group and IPL+ RF group compared witb the control group,and the increase was more obvious in the IPL+RF group than in the IPL group and RF group (all P ＜ 0.05 ).Increased collagen fiber was densely arranged in irradiated mice.There was no apparent thickening of skin epidermis after irradiation.ConclusionsBoth IPL and radiofrequency can stimulate an increase in dermal collagen production in mice,and a synergistic effect exists between IPL and radiofrequency in the biostimulation of collagen synthesis.

OBJECTIVE: To prepare lipid microbubbles as well as to evaluate their characteristics and efficacy. METHODS: Octafluoropropane-containing lipid microbubbles were prepared by high speed shearing method. Orthogonal experimental design was used to optimize the prescription. The resultant microbubbles were characterized, in terms of morphology, concentration, size, distribution and the octafluoropropane content. Moreover, the contrast effect of the microbubbles in New Zealand rabbit's kidney and liver was studied. RESULTS: The average concentration of microbubbles was (2.99±0.19)×109 their average size was (2.46±0.05) μm, and 97% of them were smaller than 7 μm. Octafluoropropane content was (387.81±35.28) μg·mL-1. With the help of the lipid microbubbles, satisfactory ultrasound contrast images of rabbit's kidney and liver were got. CONCLUSION: The microbubbles prepared by high speed shearing method have regular morphology, and their size distribution is small and even. It can be used as an excellent ultrasound contrast agent which can enhance significantly the yield of ultrasound examination and thus allow better imaging.

Long tracheal lesions are mainly caused by stenosis, infection, trauma, malignant tumors and other factors. Resection of the diseased tissue or stenosis and end-to-end anastomosis is currently the gold standard for long tracheal lesions treatment. However, these treatment programs have proven to have major limitations. In recent years, tissue engineering technology has been regarded as a promising medical alternative treatment method, and the selection of scaffold materials is one of key parts. With the continuous exploration of domestic and foreign researchers, biological materials have been continuously developed and applied to the research of tissue engineering trachea. Tissue engineering degradable scaffold materials can be divided into natural polymer material scaffolds and synthetic polymer scaffolds according to the different sources. The scaffold material can be modified or compounded as needed to improve the biological properties of scaffolds. In addition, with the continuous development of biological printing technology, different scaffold materials can be better combined and used. Biodegradable scaffolds have become a new research direction in the field of tissue engineering trachea due to their polymer properties, and have good application prospects.

Objective To analyze the relationship between life style and chronic diseases.Method 2 886 people were selected randomly from three districts of Tianjin and surveyed with a questionnaire on their healthy condition and physical examination.2 622 people were taken a diet survey by 3-days foods intakes weighing and 24-hours diet recall,then the relative risk factors between life style and coronary heart disease,cerebrovascular disease,diabetes,hypertension,overweight and obesity were analyzed.Result The standardized prevalence rates of coronary heart disease,cerebrevascular disease,diabetes,hypertension, overweight and obesity of residents were 9.24%,4.33%,6.74%,34.05%,and 42.62%,respectively.The more the intake of energy, the more the risk for people to suffer from overweight and obesity,OR value being 1.00-1.70.With intake of more than 20 g dietary fiber per day,the risk for suffering from overweight and obesity could be reduced,OR value being 0.68.Logistic analysis showed that heavy salty taste could increase the risk for suffering from hypertension by 42%.Watching TV more than 3 hours per day increased the risk for suffering from cerebrovascular disease and diabetes,OR value being 1.802 and 1.703 respectively.Sleep less than 7 hours per day was a dangerous factor for hypertension,coronary heart disease and cerebrovasular disease,OR value being 1.517, 1.833 and 2.041 respectively.Conclusion The life style such as dietary pattern,sedentary occupation and sleep hours have strong connection with chronic diseases,such as hypertension,diabetes etc.Reasonable diet,suitable exercises,reducing sedentary position and increasing sleep hours will be good for health,and also for the prevention and control of chronic diseases.

Background Pterygium is a common ocular surface disease and its treatment is surgical excision.But recurrence rate of pterygium is high after operation.Recently,some studies showed that the postoperatively topical administration of cyclosporine A (CsA) reduce the recurrence of pterygium,but this conclusion needs basis of evidence-based medicine.Objective This systematic review was to investigate the efficacy and safety of postoperatively topical usage of CsA in preventing the recurrence of primary pterygium.Methods A systematic literature retrieval was conducted and the relative articals were searched from MEDLINE,EMBASE,Cochrane Library,CNKI,Wanfang and VIP databases up to October 2012 according to searching strategy and correlated words.Randomized controlled trial (RCT) and prospective Cohort studies data were extracted by two researchers separately.The outcome parameters,such as the rate of recurrence,Schirmer Ⅰ test (S Ⅰ t) and complications were analyzed.The statistical analysis of the relative risk (RR) or weighted mean difference (WMD) was performed using a RevMan 5.0 software.Fixed-effect model was used for the inhomogeneity multiple studies (P≥0.1,homogeneity test I2 ＜ 50％),and random-effect model was used for the homogeneity study.Results Six prospective studies involving 366 eyes of 309 participants were identified,including 4 RCT and 2 non-RCT.The literature was published in 2008-2012 with the Jadad 5 scores in 1 paper and 2 scores in 3 papers for RCT and 6-7NOS (The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale) scores in 2 papers for Cohort studies.Meta-analysis showed that the recurrence and complication rates were significantly lower in the CsA group than those of the control group (RR =0.39,95 ％ CI:0.24-0.64,P =0.0002 and RR =0.24,95％ CI:0.13-0.44,P ＜ 0.00001) respectively.The postoperatively increased value of S Ⅰ t in the CsA group was significantly higher than that of the control group (WMD =2.47,95％CI:1.59-3.35,P ＜ 0.00001).Subgroups analyses suggested that the results were comparatively reliable.Conclusions Postoperative application of CsA can be effective for preventing recurrences and reducing complications after primary pterygium surgery.
