Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of open radical mastoidectomy (ORM) combined with ear cavity angioplasty and mastoid cavity obliteration in treatment of cholesteatoma otitis media (COM). Methods Eighty-two patients with COM were divided into 2 groups according to surgical approach: control group (41 patients undergoing simple ORM) and observation group (41 patients undergoing ORM combined with ear cavity angioplasty and mastoid cavity obliteration). The clinical efficacy and recurrence rate between the 2 groups were compared. Results The total effective rate, dry ear rate and eardrum healing survival rate in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group: 95.12% (39/41) vs. 78.05% (32/41), 97.56% (40/41) vs. 75.61% (31/41) and 90.24%(37/41) vs. 73.17% (30/41), and there were statistical differences (P<0.01). The dry ear time and epithelialization time in observation group were significantly shorter than those in control group:(31.23 ±5.69) d vs. (48.12 ± 8.97) d and (24.41±3.23) d vs. (36.24 ± 5.69) d, the postoperative pure tone audiometry (PTA) and air bone gap (ABG) in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group:(25.61 ± 5.67) dB vs. (35.41 ± 8.23) dB and (13.24 ± 3.98) dB vs. (19.02 ± 5.52) dB, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01). There was no statistical difference in the incidence of complications between 2 groups (P>0.05). The recurrence rate in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group:2.44%(1/41) vs. 14.63%(6/41), and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusions The application of ORM combined with ear cavity angioplasty and mastoid cavity obliteration in the treatment of COM has significant effect, with rapid postoperative dry ear and epithelialization, fewer complications and lower recurrence rate. It should be widely applied.

Molecular methods and fluoroscopic techniques suggest that rich microbial diversity exist in the marine environment, but less than 1% of these microbes can be cultured in the laboratory conditions, and that the cultivable dominant species were even less. This limitation has long been a barrier to the development of environmental microbiology and the utilization of marine resources. In the past decade, novel methods for culture and detection of these uncultured marine microbes have successfully applied to obtain several conventionally-uncultured microbes including those from extreme environments. Those progresses have inspired researchers greatly. Developments in the research of marine microbial resources are an important basis for the study of the micro-world and deserve increasing scientific attention.

Objective To provide evidence for diagnosis and treatment by investigating the pathogens and drug resistance of immunocompromised host (ICH)pneumonias.Methods Statistical method was used to analyze retrospectively the data of pathogens and drug resistance of ICH pneumonia treated in our hospital in 2014. Results We confirmed 187 cases of ICH pneumonia by pathogen study of 324 patients.Gram-negative bacillus (68.42%)was the main pathogen of ICH pneumonia.Acinetobacter baumanii (AB)accounted for the first place. Staphylococcus aureus infection was still the first of Gram-positive coccus.Conclusion Gram-negative bacillus was the main pathogen of ICH pneumonia in our hospital and the isolated bacteria show strong antibiotic resistance. Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen dynamic monitoring of pathogens in the secretions from ICH pneumonia patients’ lower respiratory tract and drug resistance.It is suggested that clinicians make anti-infection treatment cover drug-resistant bacteria.

Objective To screen the amyloid protein-β(Aβ)degradation-associated genes through peripheral blood monocytes(PBMC)-extracted gene microarray analysis in patients with Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods PBMC were isolated from blood of elderly AD patients versus age-matched healthy individuals(control).The cDNA(mRNAs)were analyzed using gene microarray.And real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction detection and enzyme activity analysis were used to verify the primary outcome of gene chip.Results The expression of cathepsin D mRNA in peripheral blood monocytes was 104.70±15.96 in AD patients as compared with the control group 49.86±5.19,and the activity of cathepsin D was (22 620 ± 1 389) RFU in AD versus (32 210 ± 2 284) RFU in control (both P＜0.05).Conclusions The results suggest that the decreased levels of cathepsin D could be the stage markers related to the pathophysiology of AD process.Based on the microarray data,we select cathepsin D genes for further study.

Objective To construct an animal model of Graves' disease (GD) by immunizing BALB/c mice with hM12 cells co-expressing major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class Ⅱ molecules and human thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) molecules. Methods BALB/c mice in experimental group (H-2d) were immunized with hM12 cells Intraper-itoncally every 2 weeks for six times, while mice in control group were immunized with M12 cells. Five weeks later, the thyroids were histologically examined, and serum samples were tested for thyroid-stimulating antibodies (TSAb) and thyroid hormone levels. Results One BALB/c mouse in experimental group developed Graves'-like disease. Total T4 and T3 levels in this mouse were above the upper limit of normal, TSAb activity was displayed in its serum. The thyroid histologically showed the features of thyroid hyperactivity including thyrocyte hypercellularity and colloid absorption.None of control mice developed Graves'-like disease. Conclusion An animal model with some characteristics of human Graves' disease was successfully induced and the model will facilitate studies aimed directly at understanding the patho-genesis of autoimmunity in Graves' disease.

Objective To discuss the role of miRNA-374a in invasion and metastasis of breast cancer.Methods Breast tissues from 48 patients(32 patients with breast cancer)were classified into high invasive and metastatic group(HIMG,group A),low invasive and metastatic group(LIMG,group B),and normal group (group C).Each group contained 16 specimens.6 samples were selected randomly from each group and were detected by microRNA array.Key microRNA (miRNA-374a)was selected and its target protein(BMP-2) was predicted by bioinformatics software.The rest 10 specimens of each group were detected by real-time qRT-PCR and Western blot to test the content of miRNA-374a,mRNA and protein of BMP-2.Correlation analysis was performed between miRNA and the target protein.SPSS 18.0 was used to make statistical analysis.Results The relative content of miRNA-374a was higher in group C than in group B,higher in group B than in group A(P ＜ 0.05).BMP-2 mRNA level was higher in group A and group B than in group C (P ＜ 0.05).The expression level of BMP-2 protein was lower in group C than in group B,lower in group B than in group A(P ＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed that miRNA-374a was negatively correlated with BMP-2 protein(P =-0.412 8).Conclusion miRNA-374a inhibits the invasion and metastasis by regulating BMP-2 in human breast cancer.

This research uses six Agrobacterium rhizogenes R1601, R15384, R1000, A4, R1025 and R1 to infect silymarin explants to induce hairy roots and silibin. All of the six A. rhizogenes can induce Silybum marianum to generate hairy roots and the A. rhizogene A4 shows comparatively high infection on the plant. This research determines the condition to induce silymarin hairy roots by the factors of infection time, pre-culturing, co-culturing and pH value. The fact that MS liquid medium fits the proliferation of silymarin hairy roots is determined. Through PCR molecular identification, it can be seen that the DNA plasmids in the A. rhizogenes are successfully integrated into the genome of transformed roots. Using liquid chromatography, it is determined that the silibin content in silymarin hairy roots is 2.5 times that in the plant In this research, the silymarin hairy roots culturing system is established, which lays a foundation for the study of culturing silymarin hairy roots and producing silibin.
