Objective To explore the effects and mechanism of S100A4 gene silence on invasion of human thyroid cancer cell. Methods After thyroid cancer cell ARO was transfected by S100A4 small interfering RNA (siRNA), mRNA and protein level of S100A4 and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) were determined by real time RT-PCR and Western blot respectively. The anchorage-independent growth was examined by colony formation assay in soft agar, and invasion ability was evaluated by boyden chamber model. Results The level of mRNA and protein of S100A4 was significantly inhibited in ARO cancer cells transfected by S100A4 siRNA.Transfection with S100A4 siRNA could inhibit anchorage-independent growth and invasion ability of thyroid cancer cell ARO in a dose-dependent manner. mRNA and protein expression of MMP-2 were down-regulated by S100A4 siRNA. Conclusion S100A4 siRNA can inhibit the invasion of thyroid cancer cell through down-regulation of MMP-2.

Objective We aimed to understand the awareness of knowledge related to tuberculosis(TB) prevention and treat ment among diabetes mellitus(DM) patients in Urumqi city,their attitudes towards TB patients,treatment behavior and routes of obtaining knowledge,which will provide scientific basis for further health education and promotion.Methods A questionnaire-based investigation was conducted among DM patients who visited out patient clinics or those who were hospitalized from July to December in 2015.Results 599 DM patients were investigated.the general awareness rate among them was 51.13%,and all awareness rate was 4.17%.In all 7-item core knowledge related to TB prevention and treatment,the awareness of TB symptoms,specialized TB clinics,free examination and free treatment policy were the lowest,which were 32.78%,40.40%,36.68% and 47.65%.Multi variate analysis indicted that ethnic group and educational level were associated factors of awareness rate.6 t.77% of patients have tendency to discriminate TB patients.81.83% of patients were willing to learn more knowledge about TB treatment and prevention,and the main route they hoped to learn were social media,literature and specialized publicity materials.Conclusion Awareness of knowledge related to TB prevention and treatment is low in DM patients in Urumqi,particuiarly those of minority ethnic group and lower education.Future health education in those at-risk groups should be enhanced.

Objective To study the impact of TDGF-1 gene silience by small interfering RNA(siRNA)on the invasion and migration of human breast cancer cell. Methods 3 siRNA fragments were designed according to the characteristic of TDGF-1 gene sequence and the most appropriate siRNA was selected by fluorescence real-time quantitative RT-PCR method. After the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-468 was transfected by the selected TDGF-1 siRNA, mRNA and protein of TDGF-1 were determined by real time quantitative RT-PCR and western blot respectively. The migration and invasion ability of the cancer cell were evaluated by wound-healing assay and Boyden chamber model respectively. Results siRNA could down-regulate the level of mRNA and protein of TDGF-1 in a dose-and time-dependent manner. In vitro experiment showed that TDGF-1 siRNA transfection can effectively inhibit the clonal growth, invasion and migration of breast cancer cell in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions TDGF-1 gene may play an important role in the migration and invasion of human breast cancer cells. siRNA transfection can inhibit the invasion of human breast cancer cells.

Objective To observe the feasibility of using bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as seed cells for tissue-engineering in Otolaryngology. Method MSCs were isolated from bone marrow of human rib and purified by centrifuge and cultured in vitro. The proliferation and growth characteristics of MSCs were observed in primary and passage culture. Result Human bone marrow-derived MSCs showed active proliferation capacity in vitro in primary and passage cultures. Conclusion Human bone marrow-derived MSCs have relatively young biologic age and they can be used as the seed cells for tissue engineering.

Objective To investigate the effects of miR-10a expression on migration and invasion of human pancreatic cancer cells AsPC-1.Methods Small interfering RNA targeting at miR-10a (miR-10a-siRNA) was constructed,then it was transfected into pancreatic cancer AsPC-1 cells,and nonsense siRNA (Nc-siRNA) group and blank control group was established.Real time PCR assay was used to detect the expression of miR-10a in the 3 groups,and wound healing assay and Transwell assay were used to determine the migration and invasion abilities of cancer cells.The amount of matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) in supernatant of cancer cell culture of each group was examined by ELISA assay.Results The miR-10a levels in control group,NC-siRNA group and miR-10a-siRNA group were 1.05 ±0.08,1.03 ±0.06,0.02 ±0.01 ; and the number of transmembrane cell were (150 ± 2.6),(145 ± 2.2),(62 ± 1.8),the levels of MMP-13 in the supernatant were (108.5 ± 2.8),(107.8 ± 2.5),(35.8 ± 1.5) pg/ml.The values were significantly lower in miR-10a-siRNA group than those in control group and NC-siRNA group (P < 0.01).The distance of cultured clone in miR-10a treated cancer cells (736± 18 μm) was significantly longer than those in the controls (385 ±5 μm) and NC-siRNA group (395± 13 μm,P<0.01).Conclusions Down-regulation of miR-10a by siRNA may inhibit migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer AsPC-1 cells,and the downregulated expression of MMP-13 may be one of the important mechanisms.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum bone metabolism biomarkers and bone mineral density (BMD) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with different stages. Methods Seventy-eight CKD patients were enrolled in this study and were assigned to different groups according to their ereatinine clearance (Cer). Patients with Cer ≥ 15 ml/min were divided into 4 groups based on clinical CKD 1-4 stage standard, and those with Ccr<15 ml/min were divided into two groups of hemodialysis (HD) and non-HD. Their levels of serum calcium, phosphorus, alkalinity phosphatase (ALP), urea, Ser, osteocalein (gla-protein, OC), calcitonin (CT), intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), osteoprotegerin (OPG) and BMD were detected respectively. Results (1) The serum levels of OPG, iPTH and phosphorus increased significantly in stage 3, 4, 5, respectively (P<0.01), and serum OPG level was elevated to (5.1±1.34) ng/L after HD, which was significantly higher than (3.35±0.76) ng/L before HD (P<0.05). The levels of serum OC, CT, calcium, ALP were not significantly different among patients with different CKD stages, while the level of OC was elevated in HD patients (P<0.05). The femoral WARDS triangle BMD of CKD stage 4 patients decreased to 0.77±0.09, which was less than the value of CKD stage 1 patients (P<0.01), with litde influence from hemodialysis treatment. (2) The level of serum OPG was positively correlated with the levels of serum phosphorus, iPTH, OC (r = 0.51, 0.39, 0.36,all P<0.01), and it was negatively correlated with the level of Ccr (r =-0.70, P<0.01). The femoral WARDS triangle BMD was negatively correlated with the levels of iPTH, OC, phosphorus and OPG (r =-0.59,-0.51,-0.45,-0.48, all P<0.05). Conclusions Most of serum bone metabolism biomarkers change according to the declined level of Cer. Compared with serum phosphorus, the levels of iPTH, BGP and femoral WARDS triangle BMD, serum OPG may be early diagnosticmarkers of renal osteodystrophy in CKD patients.
