Hydronephrosis is a common and frequent clinical disease. With the extensive application of minimally invasive techniques of Western medicine, it can quickly remove the obstruction and eliminate water. However, there may be problems of easy recurrence after surgery, causing more serious irreversible kidney damage. TCM has a unique advantage in the treatment of hydronephrosis, which can radically relieve the pain of patients, prevent recurrence, and protect the kidney function. Professor SHAO Zhao-di thinks that the cause of hydronephros is deficiency of kidney qi, which affects the function of gasification. Therefore, the treatment should be nourishing qi to invigorate spleen and reinforcing kidney for diuresis. In clinical practice, Bixie Fenqing Decoction can be used to treat hydronephrosis, which can obtain good efficacy.

Objective:
To investigate the knowledge and behaviors related to hepatitis B prevention and control among carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), so as to provide the basis for conducting health education and interventions for HBsAg carriers.
Methods:
Based on the seroepidemiological survey of hepatitis B among individuals aged 1 to 69 years in Shaanxi Province, HBsAg carriers were selected as the study subjects. Basic information, knowledge and behaviors about hepatitis B prevention and control were collected through questionnaire surveys. The awareness of hepatitis B prevention and control knowledge and related behaviors among HBsAg carriers were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 107 HBsAg carriers were enrolled, including 52 males (48.60%) and 55 females (51.40%), and had a median age of 47.04 (interquartile range, 19.78) years. The awareness of hepatitis B prevention and control knowledge ranged from 56.07% to 87.85% among HBsAg carriers, with the highest awareness for "hepatitis B vaccination can effectively prevent hepatitis B "(87.85%), and the lowest awareness for "sharing meals with HBsAg carriers or hepatitis B patients will not lead to infection" (56.07%) and "hepatitis B can be treated with antiviral drugs" (61.68%). The proportions of those who did not seek medical consultation, undergo regular check-ups, or receive treatment were relatively high, at 65.42%, 72.90% and 77.57%, respectively.
Conclusions
The awareness of hepatitis B transmission routes and treatment-related knowledge among HBsAg carriers is relatively low, and their medical-seeking behaviors are relatively passive. There is a need to enhance the dissemination of hepatitis B prevention and control knowledge, improve medical-seeking behaviors, and reduce the risk of hepatitis B virus transmission.

Objective To explore the impact of dexamethasone on inflammatory response of thyrocytes.Methods Primary thyrocytes were extracted from thyroid tissue of patients with Graves' disease.The cells were stimulated with interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),and cultured in dexamethasone.Thyrocytes were divided into 4 groups:control group,dexamethasone group,TNF-α + IFN-γ group,and dexamethasone+TNF-α+IFN-γ group.Interferon-γ-induced protein 10 (CXCL10) and CCL2 in supernatant of cell cultured in 4 groups were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Cell protein in 4 groups was extracted and GSK-3β,P50,and P100 protein were detected by Western blotting.Results MTT assay demonstrated that 10-5 mmol/L concentration of dexamethasone was optimal for cell culture.The CXCL10 level in TNF-α+IFN-γ group was higher than that in the control group and dexamethasone group (P<0.01),but no difference was found between dexamethasone+TNF-α+IFN-γgroup and TNF-α+IFN-γgroup(P>0.05).The CCL2 level in TNF-α+IFN-γ group was higher than that in control group and dexamethasone group(P<0.01).There was a significant lowering of CCL2 level in dexamethasone + TNF-α + IFN-γgroup compared with TNF-α + IFN-γ group (P < 0.05).The expression of GSK-3β and P100 protein was increased in TNF-α + IFN-γgroup compared with control group.The expression of GSK-3β and P100 protein was lower in dexamethasone+TNF-α + IFN-γ group than that in TNF-α + IFN-γ group.Conclusion TNF-α + IFN-γ could stimulate the secretion of CXCL10 and CCL2 in thyrocytes and thus activate the inflammatory response.Dexamethasone could reduce CCL2 secretion.Dexamethasone had little effect on CXCL10.Dexamethasone could reduce GSK-3β and P100 expressions,and inhibit the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway and thus the inflammatory response.

Objective To screen the sequence of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) genes in children with dys-chondroplasia and their family members for searching the mutations. Methods The sequence of exon 10 and exon 13 in muta-tion hot spot region of FGFR3 gene in seven families was analyzed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequenc-ing technology. Results The c.1138G>A missense mutation in exon 10 was found in 4 probands who were diagnosed as achon-droplasia (ACH), while this mutation was absent in their parents. The c.1620C>A missense mutation in exon 13 was found in one girl and her mother who both were diagnosed as hypochondroplasia (HCH) with mild symptoms. Neither mutation men-tioned above was found in the other two probands. Conclusions Through detecting the mutation in exon 10, exon 13 of FGFR3 gene, most patients of ACH or HCH can be finally diagnosed. However, it is necessary to perform the mutation screening on the other zones of FGFR3 gene and on other related genes for a few cases.

Aim To explore micro RNAs-integrated pathogenic signaling to control endothelial-mesenchy-mal transition ( EndMT ) in pulmonary hypertension ( PH) by a network bioinformatic approach. Methods Literature-mining method was used to find PH-relat-ed genes and EndMT/EMT-related miRNAs. Bioinfor-matic prediction approach ( DIANA3 , Miranda4 , PicT-ar5 , TargetScan6 , miRDB7 and microT-CDS8 ) was used for miRNA target prediction. Hypergeometric a-nalysis was used to predict miRNAs related to EndMT in PH. The analysis of interactions between PH-rele-vant genes( PH network) was performed with the use of Biological General Repository for Interaction Datasets ( BioGRID ) . These miRNAs were ranked with the highest probability of substantial overlap among their gene targets in the PH-network, the relationship be-tween their targets and the PH functional categories which include hypoxia, inflammation, and transforming growth factor/BMP signaling. Then, the part of results was validated by animal experiment. Lastly the miR-NA-Target network was built using Cytocape 3 . Results List of 230 genes was compiled that were directly im-plicated in the development of PH and 189 miRNAs were related to EndMT in PH. Among 189 miRNAs, only 22 microRNAs(miR-let-7 family, miR-124, miR-130 family, miR-135, miR-144, miR-149, miR-155, miR-16-1, miR-17, miR-181 family, miR-182, miR-200 family, miR-204, miR-205, miR-21, miR-224, miR-27, miR-29 family, miR-301a, miR-31, miR-361 and miR-375) were related to hypoxia, inflamma-tion, and transforming growth factor/BMP signaling. Among these miRNAs, the levels of let-7g, miR-21, miR-124 and miR-130 family were significantly changed in the pulmonary artery in hypoxia-induced PH rats. Conclusions Among numerous miRNAs,22 of which may be involved in hypoxia, inflammation, and transforming growth factor/BMP signaling and re-lated to EndMT in PH by network bioinformatic ap-proach, which provides a theoretical basis for further investigation of EndMT in PH.
