In order to evaluate the overall situation of projects granted by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) in the 11th five-year plan period,the data about applications and approved NSFC projects at Cancer Institute and Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CIH CAMS) were analyzed and compared with those of the 10th five-year plan period.It showed that the number of granted NSFC projects increased and the structure of program type maintained during the 11th five-year plan period.The program researchers were younger and had better education background.The quality and quantity of both the General Program projects and Young Scientists Fund projects were at high level.

An analysis of policy support for commercial health insurance,its interface with social insurance,and compensation risk control.Recommendations:laws and regulations commercial health insurance,with supportive government taxation policies; clear definition of social medical insurance and commercial health insurance,with commercial health insurers innovating their products and enriching the assurance; information sharing between insurers and medical institutions,bridging the two and encouraging commercial ones to play a role in health management.

Objective:To study the expression of EG-1 in thyroid cancer tissue and analyze its correlation with clinical prognosis. Methods:EG-1 mRNA levels in malignant thyroid tissues were evaluated by RT-PCR. All patients were followed up. The survival rates were analyze in EG-1 positive group and EG-1 negative group. Benign thyroid tissues were used as control. Results:EG-1 was expressed in thyroid cancer. The differences between expression of malignant thyroid tissues and benign thyroid tissues were statistically significant (P

Objective To discuss the correlation of P-glycoprotein(P-gp) and lymphocyte subgroup(CD4+,CD8+) in patients with immune thrombocytopenia.Methods A total of 20 patients with immune thrombocytopenia were selected from August 2015 to September 2016 in the Eighth Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University.According to the platelet count,all patients were divided into mild group and severe group,20 cases of health persons were selected at the same period as the healthy group,flow cytometry technique was used to detect the plasma lymphocyte subsets(CD4+,CD8+) and P-gp level of all the objects.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between plasma P-gp and plasma CD4+,CD8+,CD4+ / CD8+ level,analyzed all the objects plasma platelet count,P-gp and CD4+,CD8+,CD4+ / CD8+ levels.Results Plasma CD4+,CD8+,CD4+ / CD8+ and P-gp level of severe group were significant higher than those of mild group(t=3.587,2.957,2.315,2.646,P<0.05),plasma CD4+,CD8+,CD4+ / CD8+ and P-gp level of mild group patients were significant higher than those of healthy group(t=5.479,2.921,4.536,7.750,P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis results showed that the plasma levels of P-gp and plasma CD4+,CD8+,CD4+ / CD8+ levels were positively correlated(r=0.683,0.617,0.548,P<0.05).Conclusion Plasma CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+and P-gp level is associated with immune thrombocytopenia patients condition,plasma levels of P-gp closely links with abnormal immune function in patients with hyperthyroidism,prompting detection the level of change could help doctors to assess patients medication curative effect.

In recent years, Hepatitis B virus (HBV) persistent infection mouse model with recombinant adeno-associated virus 8 carrying 1.3 copies of HBV genome (rAAV8-1.3HBV) is concerned. We studied and compared the efficacy among HBV persistent infection mice models by other serotypes except AAV8. First, we prepared and purified five viruses: rAAV1-1.3HBV, rAAV2-1.3HBV, rAAV5-1.3HBV, rAAV8-1.3HBV and rAAV9-1.3HBV. Then we injected each virus into 3 C57BL/6J mice with the dose of lx 1011 vg (Viral genome, vg) per mouse. We detected HBsAg and HBeAg in sera by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at different time points post injection. We killed mice 8 weeks post injection and took blood and livers for assay. We detected copies of HBV DNA by real-time quantitative PCR in sera and livers. Meantime, we detected HBcAg in the livers of mice by immunohistochemistry and further performed pathology analysis of these livers. The five groups of mice, HBeAg and HBsAg expression sustained 8 weeks in serological detection and HBV DNA was both detected in sera and livers at the time of 8 weeks post injection. HBeAg, HBsAg, HBV DNA copies expression levels in descending order were AAV8>AAV9>AAV1>AAV5>AAV2. HBcAg expression was detected in livers as well. Varied degrees of liver damage were shown in five groups of mice. This study provides more alternative AAV vector species to establish a persistent infection with hepatitis B model.

Objective To assess the psychometric properties of the Chinese Heartburn Version of Quality of Life in Reflux and Dyspepsia Questionnaire (QOLRAD) in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease.Methods 130 patients with symptoms of heartburn completed the Chinese version of QOLRAD,the Short-Form-36 (SF-36).30 of them received proton pump inhibitors (PPI) for 8 weeks,which was used to test responsiveness of the Chinese heartburn version of QOLRAD.Results The Chinese version of QOLRAD had acceptable internal consistency.The overall Cronbach's alpha was 0.89 and the internal consistency of dimensions ranged from 0.70～0.90.Content validity index (CVI) was 0.82.Confirmation factor analysis revealed a 5 factor solutions accounting for 62.02％ and most of items in their dimensions had acceptable loads (＞0.4).There was acceptable concurrent validity with correlations between the Chinese heartburn version of QOLRAD and Short Form-36 health survey ranging from 0.172～0.613.As to responsiveness,after therapy of PPI for 8 weeks,except the dimension of sleep disturbance,scores for dimensions of vitality,food/drink problems,physical/social functioning,emotional distress had significant changes.Conclusions The Chinese version of QOLRAD has a good reliability,validity and responsiveness to therapy,which can be used to assess the quality of life in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Activities of 58 miRNAs for BHK21, HEK293, and Vero cell lines were screened using the high-throughput miRNA activity profiling method. miR-206 activity was found specifically high in BHK21. Considering miR-206 was recognized as a muscle-specific miRNA, we further detected the expression and activity level of miR-206 in BHK21 cells, with myoblast cells C2C12 as positive control and HEK293 cells as negative control. Then, we induced BHK21 by culturing with medium containing 2% horse serum (HS) and tested expression level of slow skeletal myosin heavy chain (MHC), activity and expression levels of miR-206, and expression level of Connexin43 (Cx43) which was reported negatively regulated by miR-206. Results demonstrated that activity and expression levels of miR-206 were both higher in BHK21 cells than in C2C12 cells. After induction of HS, MHC expression level was increased in BHK21 cells. The activity and expression levels of miR-206 were further enhanced. The Cx43 expression level was decreased. These results suggested that BHK21 had the characters of myoblast cells. In conclusion, we firstly discovered that miR-206 activity was specifically high in BHK21 cells, suggesting that BHK21 cells were derived from interstitial cells other than parenchyma cells of kidney from miRNA point of view. Our study also indicated that BHK21 cells were able to be used as models in vitro for research of miR-206 function.
