Objective To assess whether FICE or IC is more effective at detecting colonic diseases.Method We searched PubMed, CINAHL, CQVIP and the Cochrane Library databases for relevant papers published between January 2008 and August 2013 using the following keywords: lfexible spectral imaging color enhancement, indigo carmine, colonoscope, colonic lesions, colon tumor and chromoendoscopy. We included eight articles, and all data were subdivided for analysis.Results We used odds ratios (OR^s) with 95 % conifdence intervals (CIs) to assess correlations between the detection methods and detection rates. The detection rates did not signiifcantly differ between FICE and IC for colonic tumor lesions (OR^ = 0.90, 95 % CI: 0.76~1.08,P = 0.255), non-tumor lesions (OR^ = 1.09, 95 % CI: 0.92~1.30,P = 0.302), adenomas (OR^ = 0.87, 95 % CI: 0.72~1.07,P = 0.188), non-neoplastic polyps (OR^ = 0.84, 95 % CI: 0.67~1.06,P = 0.146), lfat lesions (OR^ = 0.87, 95 % CI: 0.71~1.08,P = 0.203), protruded lesions (OR^= 1.23, 95 % CI: 0.93 ~ 1.64,P = 0.153), right colon lesions (OR^ = 0.83, 95 % CI: 0.60 ~ 1.14,P =0.251), transverse colon lesions (OR^ = 0.71, 95 % CI: 0.48~1.05,P = 0.086), or left colon lesions (OR^ = 1.35, 95 % CI: 1.01 ~ 1.80,P = 0.045).Conclusions There were no signiifcant differences in the rate of colonic lesion detection between FICE and IC except the left colon. Therefore, providers should choose a suitable inspection method based on the resources of the hospital.

Aim To investigate the effects of red yeast rice capsules containing coenzyme Q10 on femur with an animal model of osteoporosis, which was induced by OVX with D-galactose in rats, and the results were compared with those obtained from diethylstilbestrol. Methods Three-month old female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group ( CON ) , ovariectomized group ( OVX ) , model group ( MOD ) , diethylstilbestrol group( DES) , and red yeast rice cap-sule group( RYR) . After 60 days, the left femurs were collected for Ca, P and hyp measurement, while the right femurs were performed with three-point bending test and micro-CT evaluation, respectively. Results Compared with CON group, MOD group had a signifi-cant increase in body weight, Tb. Sp, SMI and signifi-cant decrease in maximum load, stiffness, maximum strength, break strength, elastic modulus, Ca, P, Hyp contents and indicators of BV/TV, Tb. N, BMD, Conn-Dens. On the other hand, compared with MOD group, RYR group had a lower body weight and all bone biomechanics indexes were increased without sta-tistically significant difference. At the same time, the content of Ca, P and indicators of BV/TV, Tb. N, Tb. Th, BMD, Conn-Dens increased significantly;yet Tb. Sp decreased significantly. In DES group, the results of indicators were consistent with those for RYR group. In addition, compared with DES group, in RYR group body weight decreased significantly;the content of Ca, P and indicators of BV/TV, Tb. N, Tb. Th, Conn-Dens were significantly higher, and Tb. Sp, SMI were significantly lower. Conclusions Significant bone loss and deteriorated mechanical properties of femur can be observed in animal model of osteoporosis induced by OVX combined with D-galactose. Red yeast rice cap-sules containing coenzyme Q10 show effective prevention effects. Furthermore, red yeast rice capsules(0. 5 tab-let·kg-1 ) have better effect on increasing the number of trabecular bone than diethylstilbestrol ( 30 μg · kg-1 ) does.

Objective:To investigate the regulation effect of biological intensity electric field (EF) on the motility and CD9 expression of human epidermal cell line HaCaT and mouse epidermal cells.Methods:The experimental research method was used. Human epidermal cell line HaCaT cells in logarithmic growth phase and primary mouse epidermal cells isolated from 16 BALB/c mice aged 1-3 days were used for the experiment. HaCaT cells were divided into EF group treated with EF in the intensity of 200 mV/mm and sham EF group treated with simulated operation. The cell migration (displacement velocity, trajectory velocity, and direction, with 46 samples in EF group and 34 samples in sham EF group) and arrangement were observed in the living cell workstation, and the distribution and expression of CD9 protein were detected by immunofluorescence method. Both HaCaT cells and mouse epidermal cells were divided into sham EF group (simulated operation) and 50 mV/mm group, 100 mV/mm group, 200 mV/mm group and 400 mV/mm group treated with EF in the corresponding intensity respectively. Both HaCaT cells and mouse epidermal cells were divided into blank control group without any treatment and 1 h group, 3 h group and 6 h group treated with EF in the intensity of 200 mV/mm for corresponding time respectively. The expression of CD9 protein was detected by Western blotting (n=3). Data were statistically analyzed with Mann-Whitney U test, one-way analysis of variance, t test and least significant difference test. Results:Within 3 hours of treatment, HaCaT cells in EF group tended to move towards the negative electrode obviously, while HaCaT cells in sham EF group moved randomly around the origin; compared with those of sham EF group, the directivity of HaCaT cells in EF group was significantly enhanced, and the displacement velocity and trajectory velocity were significantly increased (Z=-3.975, -6.052, -6.299, P<0.01). After 3 hours of treatment, the long axis of HaCaT cells in EF group was perpendicular to the direction of EF, while HaCaT cells in sham EF group arranged randomly. After 3 hours of treatment, the expression of CD9 protein in HaCaT cells in EF group was significantly down-regulated compared with sham EF group (t=4.527, P<0.01), although both expressed on cytomembrane. After 3 hours of treatment, the expression of CD9 protein in HaCaT cells and mouse epidermal cells in sham EF group, 50 mV/mm group, 100 mV/mm group, 200 mV/mm group and 400 mV/mm group were 0.332±0.021, 0.283±0.032, 0.254±0.020, 0.231±0.041, 0.212±0.031 and 0.565±0.021, 0.453±0.022, 0.389±0.020, 0.338±0.021, 0.233±0.011, respectively. For both types of cells, compared with that of sham EF group, the expression of CD9 protein in cells was significantly decreased in the four groups of EF treatment (P<0.01); compared with that of 50 mV/mm group, the expression of CD9 protein in cells was significantly decreased in the other three groups of EF treatment (P<0.01); compared with that of 100 mV/mm group, the expression of CD9 protein in cells was significantly decreased in 200 mV/mm group and 400 mV/mm group (P<0.01); compared with that of 200 mV/mm group, the expression of CD9 protein in cells was significantly decreased in 400 mV/mm group (P<0.01). The expression levels of CD9 protein in HaCaT cells and mouse epidermal cells in blank control group, 1 h group, 3 h group and 6 h group were 0.962±0.031, 0.784±0.020, 0.531±0.021, 0.409±0.011 and 0.963±0.031, 0.872±0.031, 0.778±0.040, 0.591±0.041, respectively. For both types of cells, compared with that of blank control group, the expression of CD9 protein in cells was significantly decreased in 1 h group, 3 h group, and 6 h group (P<0.01); compared with that of 1 h group, the expression of CD9 protein in cells was significantly decreased in 3 h group and 6 h group (P<0.05 or P<0.01); compared with that of 3 h group, the expression of CD9 protein in cells was significantly decreased in 6 h group (P<0.01).Conclusions:The biological intensity EF can induce the directional migration and arrangement of HaCaT cells and down regulate the expression of CD9 in HaCaT cells and mouse epidermal cells in a time-dependent and intensity-dependent manner.

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between DNA mismatch repair (MMR) and clinicopathologic features and prognosis in patients with stages II and III colon cancers.
METHODSThe clinical and pathological data of 440 patients with stage II/III colon cancer after radical resection were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. Immunohistochemical staining was used to assess the expression of MMR proteins (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2), and the correlation between DNA MMR and clinicopathological features and prognosis of colon cancers was analyzed.
RESULTSOf the 440 tumor samples tested for DNA mismatch repair status, 90 (20.5%) demonstrated defective DNA mismatch repair and 350 (79.5%) had proficient DNA mismatch repair. Defective DNA mismatch repair (dMMR) was associated with young patients (≤ 60), proximal colon cancer, stage II, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and mucinous adenocarcinoma (P<0.05 for all). Among the 440 patients, 126 (28.6%) cases had recurrence or metastasis and 93 (21.1%) died during the median follow-up of 61.0 months. The five-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 82.2% among the patients with tumor exhibiting dMMR, significantly higher than that in patients with tumors exhibiting pMMR (68.9%, P=0.02). The univariate and mutlivariate analyses showed that the MMR status is an independent factor affecting 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival (OS) in colon cancer patients (P<0.05 for both).
CONCLUSIONSDefective DNA mismatch repair (dMMR) is associated with patients with proximal colon cancer, stage II and poorly defferentiated adenocarcinoma and mucinous adenocarcinoma. The prognosis for patients with dMMR is better than those with pMMR. dMMR may be a useful biomarker for the prognosis of colon cancer.
