1.Research advances of microRNA related to oral cancer
Tianjin Medical Journal 2015;43(5):570-572
Oral cancer is a common cancer of head and neck. Regional recurrence and metastasis are the main course of the poor prognosis. But the exact molecular mechanism is still unknown. Studies have showed that microRNA plays an important role in the tumorigenesis, invasion and metastasis of oral cancer. And it is expected to become a valuable diagnostic marker and therapeutic target. This paper makes a review about the microRNA related to oral cancer.
2.Effects of alcohol and alcohol expectations on executive function of social drinkers
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2015;24(9):838-841
Objective To explore the influence on each dimension of executive function of social drinkers with moderate dose of alcohol intake and different alcohol expectations.Methods 90 university students who were social drinkers allocated randomly by a lottery method to drinking group (n=31),control group (n=30) and placebo group (n=29).The Stroop task,1-Back task and local-global task were employed to measure executive function from three aspects respectively,namely the inhibition,updating and shifting process.Results Drinking group was compared with the Control group in the three dimensions of executive function:inhibition ((61.65 ± 26.31) ms,(42.48 ± 32.94) ms),updating ((557.23 ± 86.24) ms,(515.02 ± 70.24) ms),and shifting process ((718.85±246.03) ms,(553.95± 151.74) ms).The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Placebo group was compared with the control group,in the three dimensions of executive function:inhibition ((39.25±29.35) ms,(42.48±32.94) ms),updating ((516.32±73.25) ms,(515.02±70.24) ms),and shifting process ((591.20± 193.07) ms,(553.95± 151.74) ms),all the differences had no statistically significance (P> 0.05).In the drinking group,positive expectation was negatively related to each dimension of executive function (-0.427,-0.330,-0.383).The inhibition and the shifting process appeared significant correlation(P<0.05).Negative expectation was positively related to each dimension of executive function (0.251,0.323,0.377).The shifting process appeared significant correlation (P<0.05).Regression analysis showed that positive expectation was significantly negative predictions of inhibition and shifting process.Conclusion Executive function of social drinkers is damaged after moderate alcohol intake,and there are differences between executive function damage of different alcohol expectancy drinkers.

Chinese Journal of Urology 2000;0(05):-
Objective To report on our experience with laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery forthe treatment of renal tumors,and to seek the safe and effective techniques and methods. Methods FromJune 2003 to June 2005,16 patients (5 men and 11 women) with small exophytic solid renal masses weretreated by transperitoneal laparoscopic wedge resection in our hospital.The mean age was 46 years (range,29 -56 years).The mean tumor size of renal cell carcinoma (5 cases) and hamartoma (11 cases) was2.0 -3.5 cm and 3.0 -5.5 cm,respectively, in diameter. One case of hamartoma had secondary bleeding.Wedge resection of the tumors was performed quickly with scissor,and hemostasis was achieved by intra-ab-domen suturing and knotting. Results All the procedures were finished laparoscopically with no conver-sion to open surgery.The mean operative time was 104 min (range,70 -150 min);mean hot bloodless timewas 21 min(range,14 -32 min);mean blood loss was 158 ml (range,50 -700 ml).The pathologic exami-nation showed negative surgical margin in 5 cases of renal cell carcinoma.Postoperatively,no urinary leakageand secondary bleeding occurred,and the renal function was normal in all the 16 cases.The patients weredischarged 7 d after operation.Follow-up was 1 month to 1 year.Neither distant nor local recurrences wereobserved by the last follow-up date on B-ultrasound,IVUand CTat follow-up. Conclusions Laparoscopicnephron-sparing surgery for renal tumors is a minimally invasive procedure with less blood loss,less pain andfewer complications.Reliable non-traumatic kidney vessel control is the basic method of this operation.Sharpresection without smog and rapid renal incision suturing can reduce the renal hot bloodless time.

AIM:To investigate the effects of icarⅡn on the viability, migration and invasion of the prostate cancer lines Du145 and PC3.METHODS:Du145 cells and PC3 cells were treated with icarⅡn at different concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 or 80 μmol/L), and the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay.The cell migration and invasion abilities were detected by Transwell assay.The protein expression of Notch-1, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9 and hairy/enhancer of split-1 (Hes-1) was determined by Western blot.RESULTS:The results of MTT assay revealed that icarⅡn inhibited the viabilitiy of Du145 cells and PC3 cells in a dose-dependent manner.The maximal effect was at dose of 40 μmol/L.IcarⅡn treatment significantly decreased the abilities of migration and invasion of Du145 cells and PC-3 cells.Moreover, the protein expression of Notch-1, MMP-2, MMP-9 and Hes-1 was dramatically reduced after icarⅡn treatment.CONCLUSION:IcarⅡn inhibits prostate cancer cell viability, migration and invasion by decreasing the protein expression of Notch-1, MMP-2, MMP-9 and Hes-1.

This paper introduces the basic concept of man-machine interaction technique and the pathological and physiology basis of its application in guiding equipment. Based on the analysis of demands of blind people, the design for novel intelligent guiding equipment based on man-machine interaction technique was proposed. This method used multiple sense information mainly by infrared technique to detect obstruction and control the advancing direction of whole guiding equipment through the intellectualized judgment and processing by microprocessor to guide the blind. In addition, the principle and process of detecting method, control function, command definition, program design and debugging improvement of the guiding equipment were introduced, and its application and prospect were discussed.

Objective To find out the exposure level and distributional characteristics of risk factors for stroke in health checkup population. Methods Target population was selected from two health management centers including Qianfoshan Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University and Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University in Shandong province. Data were investigated with a questionnaire which included general information, physical examination, laboratory examination and electrocardiography. Exposure rate of risk factors and its distributional characteristics were described. Results A total of 95 909 individuals were enrolled into data analysis, including 59 686 males (age:44.48± 14.43), 36 223 females (age: 44.80 ± 13.90). The major risk factors were lack of exercises (68.02%), overweight (60.54%)and dyslipidemia (58.27%). There were significant differences in age groups and sex. Conclusion Exposure rate of risk factor for stroke was high and there were substantial differences between sex and age in health checkup population. Screening and health management for stroke risks might be a necessary strategy for the preventive intervention.
