Objective To assess the effect of suppression of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R)in HO8910PM cell line by small interference RNA(siRNA).Methods Transfection of siRNA using liporectamine 2000 was conducted to silence IGF1R gene expression,the expression levels of IGF1R mRNA and protein were evaluated,and the effects on the cell cycles at 48 hours of transfection were assessed by real-time PCR,western blot and flow cytometry(FCM)assay respectively.The cell growth was detected by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)at 24,48,72,96 hours of transfection.After 24 hours of transfection,the cells were cuhured with difierent concentrations of cisplatin(DDP)for 24 hours,the cell growth inhibition rate Was evaluated by CCK-8.Following incubation with 10μg/ml DDP for 24 hours after 24 hours of transfection,the apoptosis cells and the protein expression level of apoptosis-related gene,B cell leukemia/lymphoma 2(Bcl-2),were identified by FCM and western blot respectively.Resuits (1)Expression levels of IGF1R mRNA and protein were markedly decreased respectively at 48 hours of transfection IGF1R siRNA.(2)Suppression of IGF1R accompanied the reduction of cell growth at 48,72,96 hours of transfection with IGF1R siRNA,absorbance were 1.71±0.13,2.32±0.23,2.79±0.28 respectively (P<0.01).(3)IGF1R siRNA induces arrest of G2 phase,the G2 phase rate of cells were 24.37%(P<0.05).(4)Following treatment with 2.5,5,10,20μg/ml DDP for 24 hours after 24 hours of transfection,the cell growth inhibition rates were(25.94±0.08)%,(40.25±0.05)%,(59.48±0.03)%and(74.18±0.08)%respectively(P<0.01).(5)Treatment with 10μg/ml DDP for 24 hours after 24 hours of transfection,induces 17.95%of cells apoptosis(P<0.05),and decreases Bcl-2 protein level.Conclusion RNA interference of IGF1R gene induces the IGF1R silence in HO8910PM cell line significantly,inhibits cell growth in vitro, arrests the G2 phase, and enhances the chemosensitization to DDP.

Objective To investigate the application of prenatal ultrasonograpy in diagnosis of fetal heart disease during the medium-term and terminal pregnancy,and to avoid misdiagnosis.Methods The prenatal ultrasonographic screening was conducted in 7020 pregnant women with medium-term and terminal pregnancy.All confirmed and suspicious cases of fetal heart disease were observed by echocardiography once 4 weeks until postnatal sixth month to 1 year while normal cases was traced at the intervals of 8 weeks.All the cases were confirmed by autopsy or surgery while part of them were confirmed by postnatal angiocardiography before surgery.The reasons of misdiagnosis were analyzed.Results In fifty-three cases of fetal cardiovascular abnormality,43 cases were found,2 cases were misdiagnosis while 8 cases were missed diagnosis.2 cases of misdiagnosis included 1 case of pulmonary valve stenosis and 1 case of tetralogy of Fallot.8 cases of miss diagnosis included 2 cases of inferior vena cava in ectopic drainage and 6 cases of ventricular septal defect (defect diameter < 5 mm).The accuracy rate of diagnosis of fetal heart disease was 81.1 % by echocardiography.Conclusions Using high frequency probe,image zoom,enhancing the detection of vein-atrium connection and the structure of right ventricular outflow with pulmonary artery are important factors to avoid missed diagnosis and incomplete diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the association of serum uric acid level with glomerular filtration rate and explore the predictive value of the physiological uric acid levels for reduced renal function.Methods A total of 6 532 subjects from Karemary community and 2 402 subjects from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University were enrolled.All subjects were surveyed with questionnaire and their serum biochemical indices and liver functions were measured.Meanwhile,a cohort study was conducted,752 subjects with normal renal function were selected from young and middle-aged healthy people in 2008.During the 3-year follow-up,the incidence of reduced renal function and the risk factors of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were analyzed.Results Serum uric acid (SUA) was the independent risk factor of reduced GFR in cross-sectional analysis.The 2 groups were stratified by sex and age,except for female population over 45 years old in the first group,the level of physiological serum uric acid was the risk factor for decreased eGFR in the rest of groups.During 3-year follow-up,the incidence of reduced renal function was 15.40% and SUA was the independent risk factor of decreased eGFR.Conclusions The concentration of physiological serum uric acid was closely related with renal function,and the increase in SUA whthin normal range had an important early predictive value for decreased GFR.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of nucleoside analogues (NAs) antiviral therapy on clinical outcome for hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related primary hepatic carcinoma patients after hepatectomy. Methods The clinical data of 156 HBV-related primary hepatic carcinoma patients after hepatectomy were retrospectively analyzed..According to whether accepted postoperative antiviral treatment, all patients were divided into control group (n = 80)and observation group (n = 76). The serum HBV DNA capacity, recurrence-free survival (RFS)and overall survival (OS)were compared between two groups. Results One week, 1 month, 2 months and 3 months after operation , the serum HBV DNA capacity of observation group was significantly lower than that of control group(P < 0.05). One year, 3 years and 5 years after operation, intergroup comparison of RFS rate of both groups showed statistical significance (P < 0.05) and 1 year, 3 years and 5 years after operation, the difference of OS rate of both groups indicated statistical significance (P < 0.05). Conclusion Standard NAs antiviral treatment for HBV-related primary hepatic carcinoma patients after hepatectomy ,can improve prognosis and prolong survival time. The inhibition the HBV copy active may be its mechanism.

AIM To examine the effect of metabotropic glutamate receptor ligand (s) 4 carboxy 3 hydroxyphenyl glycine 〔(s) 4C3HPG〕 on kainic acid induced epileptic seizures and brain damage in rats. METHODS Rats were given (s) 4C3HPG (500 nmol/rat) by icv infusion prior to kainic acid (KA) injection ip(10 mg?kg -1 ). The behavoir changes, electrographic seizure duration and histological alterations between different group of rats were compared. RESULTS (s) 4C3HPG markedly reduced seizures severity in response to kainate. The seizure score in the rat with (s) 4C3HPG injection icv was significantly lower than that of control during the first three hours observation period after KA administration ( P

AIM:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of large sized continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis ( CCC ) involving zonular area in manual small incision cataract surgery ( MSICS) .
METHODS:Totally 1 443 cataract patients ( 1 965 eyes ) underwent MSICS, in which large CCC up to 7-8mm were performed . The related conditions such as success rate of performing CCC, capsule rupture, corneal edema and visual acuity after surgery were recorded and statistically analyzed.
RESULTS:In total of 1 965 eyes, 1 942 eyes ( 98. 83%) had successful CCC, 15 eyes (0. 76%) had a radial tear which could not be saved when performing CCC, 8 eyes (0. 41%) had anterior capsule opened with a cystotome or a scissor due to capsule membrane calcification. No posterior capsule rupture occurred, and intraocular lens was transplanted in all cases. Transient corneal edema was noted in 36 eyes (1. 83%). One day after surgery, 1650 eyes (83. 97%) had visual acuity ≥0. 5, 1867 eyes (95. 01%) ≥0. 3. No unstable intraocular lens was noted in all cases.
CONCLUSION:Large CCC technique for MSICS is safe and reliable, not decreasing stability capsular bag and intraocular lens. It is of high originality despite zonular area is involved so that it is worthy of application in basic medical institutions.
