Objective:Based on relevant database data analysis,to explore the correlation of the abnormal expression of EMT related factors and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and its related non-small cell lung cancer.Methods: Based on some data sets of GEO in the NCBI database,to perform express analysis,survival analysis and correlation analysis.Results: ①Snai1 and other EMT related regulatory factors exist significantly higher expression in non-small cell lung cancer patients,and E-cadherin (CDH1) was showed significantly lower expression. ②A large number of COPD patients samples were analyzed,and some EMT-related molecules in patients with COPD also showed significant abnormal expression and consistented with the changes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.Conclusion: The results showed that dysregulation expression of EMT related regulatory factors may have some correlation with disease progression of COPD patients through the EMT markers and their expression and correlation analysis in COPD patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance and correlation between RAR-βgene methylation and p53 gene mutation in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)in non-small-cell lung cancer.Methods BALF samples from 85 lung cancer pa-tients(lung cancer group)and 70 cases(benign lung diseases group)with benign lung diseases were collected.RAR-βgene methyla-tion in BALF samples was detected by methylation-specific PCR (MSP),and p53 gene mutation was detected by PCR and DNA se-quencing method.Results The rate of RAR-βmethylation and p53 mutation in BALF in lung cancer were 49.4% and 36.5%,re-spectively.Both were higher than in benign lung diseases group(P <0.01).RAR-βmethylation rate(32.5%)of patients with TNM stages(Ⅰ+Ⅱ)(32.5%)was higher than the p53 mutation rate(12.5%)over the same stages (P <0.05).RAR-βmethylation rate and p53 mutation rate of patients with stages(Ⅲ+Ⅳ)were higher than those with stages(Ⅰ+Ⅱ)(P <0.01).p53 mutation rate in lung cancer patients with RAR-βmethylation was higher than those with unmethylated(P <0.01).RAR-βmethylation rate of lung cancer patients with p53 mutation was higher than those without p53 mutation(P <0.01).Conclusion Detection of RAR-βmethyl-ation and p53 mutation in BALF contribute to the diagnosis of lung cancer.

This study aimed to investigate viral infections and the prevalence of influenza-like illness (ILI) in Shijiazhuang, China, in 2011 and to provide a scientific basis for the diagnosis and control of respiratory tract infections. Throat swab specimens were collected from 483 cases of ILI who were outpatients in the influenza surveillance sentinel hospitals in Shijiazhuang between January and December 2011. All specimens were examined by multiplex RT-PCR for the following 15 respiratory tract viruses: adenovirus (ADV), human rhinovirus (HRV), human parainfluenza virus (PIV types 1-4), influenza virus A (FluA), influenza virus B (FluB), human enterovirus (HEV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV-A and -B), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), human coronavirus (HCoV-229E/NL63 and -OC43/HKU1), and human bocavirus (HBoV). Among the 483 cases of ILI, 214 (44.31%) were positive for viruses, including ADV (8.7%), HEV (8.7%), RSV-A (8.07%), HRV (7.45%), FluA (5.38%), HCoV-OC43/ HKU1 (2.9%), PIV-3 (2.9%), HMPV (1.86%), PIV-1 (1.24%), HCoV-229E/NL63 (1.04%), PIV-2 (1.04%), HBoV (0.83%), and FluB (0.41%). Twenty-six (5.38%) of all cases were co-infected with two or more viruses, most commonly HEV/HRV with other viruses. Cases of viral infection were detected throughout the year, with peaks in January and February. ADV and HRV were detected throughout almost the whole year without obvious seasonality. HEV was detected between April and November, with a peak of prevalence in summer and autumn. FluA and FluB reached epidemic levels mainly in winter and spring. All cases of RSV were identified to be subtype A. PIV infection was mainly caused by PIV-3. The positive rate of HCoV-OC43/HKU1 infection was significantly higher than that of HCoV-229E/NL63. The leading five viruses that resulted in ILI Shijiazhuang in 2011 were HEV, ADV, RSV-A, HRV, and FluA, and these viruses have different epidemiological features.

Objective To investigate the plasma 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α(8-iso-PGF2α and the serum C-re-active protein(CRP) levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) with and without hypertension(OSAHS + HT),and to explore the changes of pathophysiology in patients with OSAHS and the patho-genesis of OSAHS + HT. Methods All observed subjects were divided into 3 groups: control group (n=20),OS-AHS group(n=19),OSAHS + HT group (n=21). Plasma 8-iso-PGF2αand serum CRP concentrations levels were measured by ELISA and were compared. Results The plasma 8-iso-PGF2αand serum CRP levels,were higher in OSAHS patients than those in control subjects [(11.08±3.26)μg/L vs (7.49±2.10)μg/L,P<0.01;(1.75±0.82) mg/L vs (0.52±0.26 ) mg/L,P<0.01],and were higher in OSAHS + HT group than those in control group [14.84±3.43)μG/L vs(11.08±3.26)μg/L,P<0.01 ;(3.13±1.06)mg/L vs(1.75±0.82)mg/L,P<0.01]. Conclusions Oxidative stress and inflammation in OSAHS patients are increased,which are involved in the devel-opment of OSAHS associated hypertension.

?AlM:To study the relationship between blood lead level and abnormal eye blinking in children.
? METHODS: The patients with chief complaint of frequent eye blinking, whose diagnosis of abnormal eye blinking, were randomized to experimental group. The patients in this group carried out vision and the slit-lamp examination, detected corneal fluorescein staining and tear break-up time, and improved the level of blood lead and trace elements examination. The patients in control group with chief complaint of health physical examination in our hospital, excepted of blood lead level, the other body check results were normal and were divided into boys group and girls group according to the gender. The changes of the experimental group and control group in blood lead level were compared.
?RESULTS: Totally 371 cases ( male:295 cases; female:76 cases) with mean age was 6. 56±2. 41 years and 6. 08±2. 82 years respectively were in experimental groupe. ln control group, there were 300 cases ( male: 186 cases;female:114 cases) with mean age was 6. 99±3. 01 years and 6. 56±2. 80 years respectively. The average of blood lead level of boys in experimental group was 63. 82 ±24. 56μg/L and 53. 98±15. 42μg/L in control group. The average of blood lead level in experimental group was higher than that in control group. The difference between of the two group was statistically significant (χ2=16. 96, P<0. 01 ). The average of blood lead level of girls in experimental group was 56. 96±16. 69μg/L and 48. 18±12. 35μg/L in control group. There was no difference between of the two group (χ2=5. 77, P=0. 56). ln control group, the average of blood lead level with <3 years, 3~6 years and >6 years children were 48. 73±11. 67μg/L, 51. 39 ± 14. 87μg/L, 52. 98 ± 14. 45μg/L respectively. ln expirement group, the results were 56. 57±17. 89μg/L, 59. 92±18. 46μg/L and 67. 00±32. 55μg/L in <3, 3~6 and >6 children, respectively. There was no significant difference with <3 years (χ2=3. 54, P=0. 17). The difference with 3~6 years and >6 years children were statistically significant (χ2 = 9. 62, P = 0. 008 ) and (χ2 = 19. 22, P = 0. 000 ) respectively. The blood lead level were divided into three grades: <50μg/L, 50 ~100μg/L, >100μg/L, and relative risk (RR) were 0. 65, 1. 22, and 10. 11 respectively.
?CONCLUSlON: Blood lead level of experimental group is higher than that of control group. The relationship between blood lead level and abnormal eye blinking in children is positive correlation.

Breast cancer susceptibility gene 1(BRCA1) plays an important role in breast cancer development and progression. BRCA1 encodes a 1863-amino acid protein with two BRCA1 C-terminal (BRCT) domains at its C-terminus, BRCT1 and BRCT2. Many cancer-predisposing mutations are located in the BRCT domains, which have been shown to induce chromatin unfolding by use of an approach that allows visualization of large-scale chromatin structure through lac repressor/lac operator recognition. To map the important region of BRCT domain (amino acid residues 1642-1736), six deletion mutant constructs were made. The chromatin structure assay showed that amino acid residues 1691-1721 are involved in the induction of chromatin unfolding. To further localize the critical amino acid residues, ten alanine scanning mutant constructs were made. The chromatin structure assay demonstrated that the 1707IAGGK1711 region is critical for the chromatin unfolding activity. Based on the mapped important region, Blast analysis identified a novel homologous protein. Mapping of the BRCT1 domain may aid in the presymptomatic risk assessment and provide a valuable tool for further study on the BRCT1 structure and function.
