Objective:To investigate the correlation of FAT10 expression with the malignant characteristics of hepatocellular car-cinoma (HCC), and to explore the effect of FAT10 on RhoA and cytoskeleton of HCC. Methods: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the FAT10 expression level of 108 HCC patients, and the correlation between the expression of FAT10 and the malignant characteristics of HCC patients was analyzed. We transiently transfected plasmids with overexpressed FAT10 using 7721 and HepG2 cells or interfered with FAT10 expression using siRNA in Huh7 and LM3 cells. Active-RhoA, total-RhoA, and ROCK protein expres-sion levels were detected by Western blot analysis after overexpression or interference. We also used immunofluorescence to detect changes in the cytoskeleton protein F-actin after FAT10 overexpression in 7721 cells. Results:Correlation analysis showed that both ac-tive-RhoA and FAT10 expression levels were significantly correlated with clinical malignant characteristics by using IHC (RhoA:me-tastasis, P=0.036 and recurrence, P=0.026;FAT10:metastasis, P=0.031 and recurrence P=0.004). In addition, active-RhoA expression level was correlated with FAT10 (P=0.000). Survival analysis showed that the prognoses of low-expression active RhoA (P=0.019) or FAT10 (P=0.026) groups were significantly better than those of the high-expression groups. Western blot analysis showed that FAT10 increased the expression of active-RhoA and ROCK. However, the expression of active-RhoA and ROCK decreased after FAT10 inter-ference. F-actin expression increased in the 7721 cells with overexpressed FAT10 (all P<0.01). Moreover, FAT10 facilitated F-actin ag-gregation on cell membrane and changes in F-actin. Conclusion:FAT10 is correlated with the malignant characteristics of HCC and may promote changes in HCC cytoskeleton induced by active-RhoA.

Objective To elucidate the effects of different modes of partial parenteral nutrition (PPN)on immunological function of T-lymphocyte in non small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients during chemotherapy.Methods Ninety-three patients with non-small cell lung cancer were randomly divided into three groups:the control group(30 patients),the low dose of PPN(32 patients) and the high dose of NNP(31 patients).Exactly the same chemotherapy was applied to each of three groups.During chemotherapy,three groups were supplied the same diet,the control group received conventional treatment;the low dose group and the high dose group received additional parenteral nutritional support besides diet.The low dose group was given 250 ml 9-AA daily and the high dose group was given 500 ml 9-AA daily.The T lymphocyte subsets CD3~+,CD3~++CD4~+ ,CD3~++CD8~+ and cells were detected respectively before and after chemotherapy.Results In all of the three groups,the percentage of NK cells,CD3~+ and CD3~++CD4~+ cells were decreased significantly before and after chemotherapy(all P＜0.05),In the control and low dose groups,NK cells changed more significantly after chemotherapy(P＜0.01).The percentages of CD3~+,CD3~++CD4~+,CD3~++ CD4~+/CD3~++CD8~+ of the low dose group and high dose group were higher than those of the control group before and after chemotherapy(all P＜0.05),the percentage of CD3~++CD8~+,CD3~++CD4~+/ CD3~++CD8~+ of the low dose group and hight dose group did not change notably(all P＞0.05). Conclusions The chemotherapy on patients with NSCLC will possibly cause malnutrition and immunosuppression.The benefits of giving 9-AA to NSCLC patients who were applying PPN and undergoing chemotherapy may include antagonizing immunological function aggravation,improving nutrition status and improving immunological functions of the T lymphocytes during chemotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) arises as a delayed and /or protracted response to a stressful event or situation of an exceptionally threatening or catastrophic nature. There have been reports about natural disasters causing PTSD, but there have been few reports about PTSDcaused by technological disasters. Our study investigated the mental status of those survivors after a serious explosion.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics and the factors of impact of PTSD caused by technological disasters.DESIGN: A case controlled study of the survivors of a momentous explosion.SETTING: A provincial mental health center.PARTICIPANTS: A serious explosion happened in Urumqi on September 8, 2000. Twenty-eight survivors(as the study group) who were still hospitalized for treatment 3 -5 months after the accident were involved in this study. And in the control group were 30 normal persons whose general demographic data were the same as those patients.METHODS: A psychiatrist told the subjects the following: The objective and meaning of the test, and explained the self-making questionnaire about their general condition, symptom checklist (SCL-90), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale(SDS), cornell medical index(CMI), the questionnaire on dealing styles, the questionnaire on social support, and others-evaluating scale, incident effect scale(IES); a list of stress reaction symptoms.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Main resulta:①Clinical feature of PTSD caused by the technological disaster.②the related factors to PTSD in the technologal disaster.Secondary results: Comparison of the results between the two groups in IES, CMI, SDS and SAS.RESULTS: A total of 22(79% ) survivors met the criteria as PTSD. There were significant differences in all the assessments(IES, CMI, SDS, SAS,SCL-90) between the study group and the control group (t =3.62-8.17, P ＜ 0.01 ) . The diagnosis of PTSD was positively correlated with the level of traumatic exposure( r = 0. 420, P ＜ 0. 05), and negatively correlated with the degree of satisfaction with the post-event solutions( r = 0. 420, P＜ 0.05), positively correlated with IES scoring and the level of heart pain ( r = 0. 389 - 0. 665, P ＜ 0. 01 ) . The total scores of IES were positively correlated with the level of exposure ( r = 0. 478, P ＜ 0.05 ).CONCLUSION: The incidence of PTSD after explosion was high, and its occurrence was related with the degree of exposure in the event and that of the satisfaction with the post-event solutions.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of Governor Vessel-unblocking and yang-regulating acupuncture plus chiropractic treatment on upper cervical spondylosis. Methods:A total of 64 eligible cases were randomly allocated into an observation group (n=32) and a control group (n=32) according to the random digital table. Cases in the observation group were treated with Governor Vessel-unblocking and Yang-regulating needling method, fine adjustment of the upper cervical spine and lumbosacral Ban-pulling manipulation; cases in the control group were treated with routine acupuncture and same spinal adjustment as the observation group. The treatment was done once a day in both groups. The therapeutic efficacies were observed after 10 times of treatment. Results:The total effective rate was 78.1% in the observation group and 67.5% in the control group. The difference in the total effective rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion:Governor Vessel-unblocking and yang-regulating acupuncture and regulate yang plus chiropractic therapy is better than routine acupuncture plus chiropractic therapy in the therapeutic effect in the treatment of upper cervical spondylosis.

Objective To explore the impact of combined laparoscopic and choledochoscopic treatment on bile leak in hepatic hydatid disease at a high attitude region.Methods The clinical data of 50 patients who underwent combined laparoscopic and choledochoscopic treatment were compared with 50 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery alone for hepatic hydatid internal capsule excision surgery.Results In the combined laparoscopic and choledochoscopic group,the incidence of biliary fistula after surgery was 15％,the incision infection rate was 13％,the length of hospitalization was (11.6 ± 3.8) days and the postoperative time to take off drain was (14.3 ± 7.9) days.These were significantly better than those in the laparoscopic alone group.The operation time in the former group was (108.2 ± 28.4)min,which was slightly longer than the laparoscopy group.Conclusion The combined laparoscopic and choledochoscopic treatment is a safer therapeutic option in treating hepatic hydatid disease with less trauma,faster recovery and shorter hospital stay than laparoscopic surgery alone in a high attitude region.

Objective To summarize and analyze the primary data from China Heart Transplant Registry in 2013 in order to explore the current status of heart transplantation in Chink Method Seventeen transplant centers have conducted 231 cases of heart transplantation in the year 2013.We analyzed the preoperative risk factors which impacted the survival of heart transplant recipients by using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.And long-term survival of the 398 heart recipients from Beijing Fu Wai Hospital,who were followed up from June 2004 to December 2013 (follow-up rate was 100 ％) was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method.The risk factors for long-term survival of heart transplant recipients were calculated by the COX survival analysis methods.Result The mean hospital stay of the 231 recipients was 24 days.There were 25 cases who died in hospital,and the total mortality was 10.8 ％ (25/231),while the average in-hospital mortality was 2.2 ％ in the three largest centers.By using the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis,we found that recipients positive PRA was the only preoperative risk factor which impacted the in-hospital mortality.(OR=12.435,95％ CI 1.369～ 112.938,P =0.025).The median follow-up time of the 398 heart transplant recipients from Beijing Fu Wai Hospital was 1383 days,and the 1-,3-,5-and 7-year survival rate was 94.7％,91.6％,88.0％ and 82.6％ respectively.The univariate and multivariate COX regression analysis revealed that preoperative primary diseases (coronary heart disease vs.cardiomyopathy,P ＜ 0.01),the history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (P ＜ 0.01),the preoperative total bilirubin level (P＜0.05) and serum creatinine level (P＜ 0.01) were risk factors affecting long-term postoperative survival.Conclusion In China the number of heart transplants has increased in 2013.The survival rate of recipients is high in large heart transplant centers.The integrity of registration data needs to be further improved in some centers.
