Studies have shown that microRNA plays a role of oncogene or tumor suppressor gene in the carcinogenesis and progression of tumor.However, the role of microRNA-143 (miR-143) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) needs further study.Aims: To investigate the expression and clinical significance of miR-143 in ESCC.Methods: Sixty-three ESCC tissues and corresponding para-cancerous tissues, 40 esophageal intraepithelial neoplasia (IEN) tissues and corresponding normal tissues from Jan.2013 to Dec.2013 at the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University were enrolled.The expression of miR-143 was examined by real-time quantitative PCR, and its correlations with clinicopathological features were analyzed.Results: Compared with controls, expression of miR-143 was down-regulated in ESCC and IEN (P<0.05).Expression of miR-143 was correlated with pathological type (P<0.001), but not with gender and age (P>0.05).Expression of miR-143 was correlated with pathological staging, lymph node metastasis and TNM staging (P<0.05), but not correlated with tumor infiltration depth in ESCC patients (P>0.05).Conclusions: Expression of miR-143 is down-regulated in ESCC and IEN tissues, which may be closely related to the development and progression of ESCC, and has the potential to be used as a new target for diagnosis of ESCC.

Objective To validate the analytical performance of four LP(a)reagents with Immunoturbidimetry method used on the automatic biochemistry analyzer for preliminary clinical application.Methods The performance of four LP(a)reagents (labeled as A,B,C,D)with method from RANDOX,Zhejiang Kuake Co.,Beijing Leadman Co.and Beijing Jiuqiang Co.on Olympus AU5800 automatic biochemistry analyzer were assessed.The precision,linearity range,accuracy,disturbance (vita-min C,bilirubin,hemoglobin,TG)were assessed.Results The within-run CVs of the four reagents (A,B,C and D)were 0.64%~1.18%,3.59%~4.75%,1.33%~3.05% and 1.43%~2.01% respectively.The between-run CVs in A,B,C and D were 1.04%~1.7%,3.81%~4.93%,2.16%~4.76% and 2.33%~3.21% respectively,lower than the stated.The lin-earity range was 82~923 mg/L (r2 =0.997),130~935 mg/L (r 2 =0.996 4),120~1025 mg/L (r 2 =0.992 1)and 117~943 mg/L (r2 =0.999 5)in the four reagents,which demonstrated a sound linear correlation.For interference tests,no re-markable interferences (<±10%)of reagent A and reagent D were detected when Vitamin C≤10 mg/dl,hemoglobin≤200 mg/dl,bilirubin≤40 mg/dl and TG≤500 mg/dl.Interference of reagent B was found when VC≥5 mg/dl,TG≥250 mg/dl and when TG≥250 mg/dl reagent C was interfered significantly.The four LP(a)reagents were used to detect the lipid con-trol,and the deviations of the target value were - 8.07%,1.34%,- 8.05% and 7.38% respectively.Conclusion When used in automatic biochemical analyzer,the four LP(a)reagents showed high precision.The four reagents are all able to meet clinical test requirements,nevertheless,anti-interference capability were different.

Methods The problems and the reasons why they occurred in construction of WeChat public platform in these 9 hospitals were analyzed by literature analysis, interview, Topsis and RSR analysis, and their combination. Results The problems found in hospital WeChat public platform included imperfect management, unmatched construction level and hospital scale, insufficient government policy support and effective supervising mechanisms. Conclusion Hospitals should strengthen the construction and management of their WeChat public platform, innovatively construct their WeChat public platform, win over sufficient government policy support, and improve their supervising mechanisms.

In order to meet the requirements of ultrasound bone density measurement, we designed a sofware based on Visual Studio C+ + 2008. The software includes interface design, acquisition and control, data processing and parameter extraction, data storage and printing. Excellent human-computer interface (HCI) will give users a convenient experience. Auto gain control (AGC) and digital filter can improve the precision effectively. In addition, we can observe waveform clearly in real time. By using USB communication, we can send control commands to the acquisition and get data effectively, which can shorten the measuring time. Then we calculated the speed of sound (SOS) and broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA). Patients' information can be accessed by using XML document. Finally, the software offers printing function.

Objective To investigate the effects of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α on glycolysis of human esophageal squamous carcinoma cells and the possible mechanism.Methods TE13 and Eca109 cells were cultured under normal oxygen (20％O2) and hypoxia (1％O2) conditions.The hypoxia was duration 6 hours,12 hours,24 hours and 48 hours.HIF-1α gene was stable silented by RNA interference method and TE13/small interfering HIF cells and Eca109/siHIF cells were obtained.The cell culture condition and time was same as TE13 and Eca109 cells.The changes of HIF-1α expression were detected by Western-blot.The changes of lactic acid concentration in cell culture supernatant were determined by Spectrophotometry.The changes of glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) and lactic dehydrogenase A (LDHA) expression at mRNA level were examined by realtime polymerase chain reaction.The changes of GLUT-1 and LDHA expression at protein level were tested by Western blot.Using t or t' test to analyze the effects of hypoxia duration on HIF-1αexpression at protein level.One-way ANOVA was applied for the difference analysis between the groups.Results In TE13 and Eca109 cells,the HIF-1α expression significantly increased under hypoxia condition and reached the peak at 12 hour (t=6.11,8.31; both P＜0.05).The lactic acid secretion of TE13/siHIF cells and Eca109/siHIF cells was (1.24±0.33) and (1.28±0.37) mmol/L,which significantly decreased when compared with TE13 and Eca109 cells [(3.25±1.34) and (4.91±1.69) mmol/L,t=2.53,3.59,both P＜0.05].The lactic acid secretion of TE13 and Eca109 cells significantly increased after hypoxia [(6.48±1.73) and (8.02± 1.95) mmol/L,t=2.715,2.050,both P＜0.05].There was no significant lactic acid secretion in TE13/siHIF cells and Eca109/siHIF cells after hypoxia (P ＞ 0.05).The expressions of GLUT-1 and LDHA at mRNA level were significantly suppressed in TE13/siHIF cells and Eca109/siHIF cells (normal oxygen:t=6.98,3.92,7.25,3.67,all P＜0.05).The expression of GLUT-1 at protein level remarkably weaked (normal oxygen:t=4.57、16.56,hypoxia:t=6.19、6.09,all P＜0.05),while the expression of LDHA at protein level slightly decreased (P＞0.05).Conclusions The level of glycolysis can be lowered by suppression HIF-1α expression in human esophageal squamous carcinoma cells.The pathway may be involved in the suppression of GLUT-1 and LDHA expression.Except for HIF-1α,there may be other regulating factors in LDHA protein expression at same time.

Objective To study the clinical function of different incision in sentinel lymph node(SLN)biopsy in breast cancer.Methods 40 patients were early-stage breast cancer who were performed breast-conserving surgery for SLN biopsy with different incisions were retrospectively analyzed during November 2003 to November 2007.Results (1)Transversely incision(cleavage lines)were 35 cases;(2)arc incision were 3 cases;(3)one incision were 2 cases.Among the 40 cases,there are 30 cases which were performed breast-conserving surgery because the SLN and tumor-margin were negative with the quick frozen section during the operation,the rest of the SLN who had the contains cancer had to be performed mastectomy surgery.Conclusion When breast cancer conserving surgery are performed,transversely incision is the best incision for SLN biopsy.
