MicroRNAs(miRNAs),small noncoding RNAs,are essential for posttranscriptional gene regulation and have important roles in a wide range of biological processes,including development,growth and differentiation. Thousands of miRNAs have been identified in animals,plants and microoaganisms. miRNAs regulate their target genes by mRNA degradation or translation suppression. About 30 % of genes in an organism are subject to miRNA regulation. miRNA expression and function are regulated by transcriptional factors,epigenetics,single nucleotide polymorphisms,RNA editing and so on. Additionally,the success in knocking out a specific mouse miRNA gene has provided a valuable model for studying miRNA function.

Objective To investigate the CT characteristics of retroperitoneal extra-adrenal paraganglioma(PGL).Methods CT findings of 11 patients with pathologically confirmed retroperitoneal extra-adrenal PGL were analyzed retrospectively,and the relevant literature was reviewed.All patients received plain CT as well as contrast-enhancement CT scan.Results All of the 11 tumors were located in the retroperitoneal space around large blood vessels,including 2 functional and 9 unfunctional extra-adrenal paragangliomas.Eight of 11 cases were benign tumors which presented as round or oval masses with sharp margins,separated from surrounding structures clearly;while the rest 3 cases,which with indistinct edge,even more with the invasion of surrounding structures (renal artery,renal venous and pancreas),were confirmed to be malignant.Most of the tumors were heterogeneous on plain CT.It was common to see intratumoral necrosis or cystic degeneration in the tumors (9 cases),while hemorrhage or calcification was uncommon,which was found in 3 and 2 cases,respectively.Homogeneous intensity was only observed in 2 masses with diameter less than 4 cm.On contrast-enhanced CT image, the solid part of the tumors presented continuously significant enhancement.Dilated feeding artery was found in or around the masses (8 cases) in artery phase.Conclusion There are certain characteristics of retroperitoneal extra-adrenal paraganglioma on CT scanning, which are helpful for preoperative diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Objective: To establish a mice model of congenital heart disease transposition of great arteries in order to provide a research reference for the occurrence and development of transposition of great arteries. Methods: A total of 20 pregnant ICR mice at 8-10 weeks of age were divided into 2 groups: Control group, the mice received a single dose of DMSO 70 mg/kg at 8.5 days of gestation,n=5 and Experiment group, the mice received a single dose of all-trans retinoic acid 70 mg/kg at 8.5 days of gestation,n=15. All animals were treated for 18 days and then the embryos were taken to observe cardiac morphology under stereomicroscope. Results: Compared with Control group, Experiment group had obviously increased occurrence rates of premature delivery, abortion and embryo absorption, and 61.2% phenotype for transposition of great arteries; meanwhile, combining with non-heart defect phenotypeas exophthalmos and spinal malformation. Conclusion: All-trans retinoic acid may induce transposition of great arteries in mice embryos, which is a feasible animal model in experimental research.

This study was designed to establish methods to measure partition coefficients of inhaled anesthetics at 1 atmosphere and 37 C by using syringe-flask double equilibration technique. Olive oil/gas (O/G), saline/gas (S/G), and water/gas (W/G) partition coefficients of isoflurane were 90.20?2.01, 0.6256?0.109, and 0. 741?0.025, respectively. Even though O/G was 150 folds of S/G,coefficients of variation for both O/G and S/G were less than 3%. The results indicate that the established double-equilibration technique has a very high repeatability and is applicable to wide ranges of inhaled anesthetics' solubilities.

Objective:To explore the methods to improve the professional core competencies of medical students in the standardized residency training.Methods:A total of 82 medical students who participated in the standardized residency training ("resident students" for short) in the same period were selected in this study, and the self-edited professional core competencies textbooks were used for regular theoretical study, and at the same time, clinical practice cases were collected for regular scenario reduction teaching. When the resident students entered the department and after 12 months of the standardized training, the professional core competencies training evaluation scale was used to evaluate and compare the scores of the resident students, and the value of the above-mentioned training model to improve the professional core competencies of the resident students was evaluated. SPSS 18.5 was performed for t test between groups. Results:After being trained by the above model, the selected students had significantly improved such competencies as communication, cooperation and problems solving ( P<0.05). Compared with the scores of resident students before and after the training, there was no significant difference in communication and cooperation with other students ( P>0.05), with low satisfactory communication with the leader ( P>0.05), but the problem-solving ability had been significantly improved ( P<0.05), while the score of which was low and it should be pay more attention to in the future training. Conclusion:In the process of standardized residency training, the application of the above-mentioned training model can significantly improve the professional core competencies of resident students, and at the same time, it's necessary to strengthen the cultivation of satisfactory communication with leaders and problem solving ability.

Objective To study the composition of variant and point mutations of Norovirus GⅡ.4 in Guiyang regions.Methods From June to November 2010,cases information and fecal specimens were collected from guard-hospitals in Guiyang regions,who had caught the acute-gastroenteritis.Noroviruses in specimens were detected by a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(real-time RT-PCR),and then partial genotyped norovirus-positive clinical samples (in random) were cloned and sequenced in VP1 gene code.Furthermore,the gene sequences were compared with the published variants at home and abroad of norovirus(GⅡ.4),including the phylogenetic analyses of genomes and variation of amino acids within individual sites.Results Those 267 specimens were GⅡ-norovirus-positive(62.68％) in 426 clinical samples.There were nine GⅡ.4-norovirus-positive VP1 gene-sequences available,and two subtype-norovirus variants (GⅡ.4 2008a and G Ⅱ.4 2008b variant) were epidemic in 2010,Guizhou province.The homology between and in subgroups were 95.90％-96.72％ and 99.45％-100％.Two amino acids within individual sites were apt to mutate.Conclusion Norovirus GⅡ genotype were predominant in summer and fall acute gastroenteritis in 2010 for Guiyang regions,and the variants were diversity.

Objective To explore disinfection efficacy of anerdian using swab and spray disinfection methods.Methods Hands of 30 subjects were randomly divided into the swab group and the spray group.The samples of before and after disinfection in each group were collected separately and observed their disinfection effect.Results The number of bacteria showed no significant difference between the two groups.The passing rate of disinfection reached 100％.The time of disinfection in the spray group was (2.58±0.32)s,significantly less than that in the swab group,(12.26±1.48)s,however,the drying time in the spray group was (42.37±1.79)s,significant longer than that in the swab group,(26.24±1.46)s.A subject hand disinfection used 0.5ml 0.2％ anerdian in the spray group,and 0.75ml 0.2％ anerdian and two cotton buds was used in the swab group.Conclusions There is identical disinfection efficacy between spray and swab methods.Spray disinfection method has short operating time,less use of disinfectant without using cotton buds,it is able to replace swab disinfection and will play an important role to reduce medical waste and health care costs.
