Objective To further define the molecular mechanism involved in the metastasis process in lung cancer and screen out the genes expressed differentially in the lung cancer.Methods mRNA differential display (DD-PCR) was employed to search the specific genes related to metastasis.The highly expressed fragments were cloned and sequenced.Compared with the data in GenBank,the homologous genes were found.The anchor primers were designed to validate the candidates from DD-PCR by real-time PCR.The structure of the gene was prognosticated by software.Results Nine differentially expressed genes were found.One of the nine genes,which named C3orf1,showed high different expression within the six tested cancer cells.The gene was 858bp long and encoded 285 amino acids.The molecular weight was about 32.2 kD.Analyzed by the bio-software,it was found that the gene was consisted with seven EGF-like domains (EGF_1),three 2Fe-2S ferredoxin/iron-sulfur binding regions (2FE2S_FER_1),two VWFC domains (VWFC_1),two thiolase active sites (thiolase_3),and so on.Conclusions The gene C3orf1 is over-expressed in the lung cancer 95D cells.It may encode a familiar secretary growth factor protein and play important role in stimulating growth of the cells.

Objective To investigate the correlations of expression of interferon inducible protein 10 ( IP-10) mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMCs) with serum levels of HBsAg and HBV DNA in patients with HBV-related acute on chronic liver failure ( HBV-ACLF ) , and to assess its value in predicting disease prognosis .Methods Eighty patients with HBV-ACLF, 60 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and 25 healthy subjects were enrolled during October 2013 and February 2015.IP-10 mRNA in PBMCs was measured by real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction ( RT-qPCR) , and the difference in IP-10 mRNA expression among three groups was compared by ANOVA .Serum levels of HBsAg and HBV DNA were also measured in patients with HBV-ACLF, and Pearson correlation test was performed to analyze the correlations of IP-10 mRNA with HBsAg and HBV DNA levels .t test was used to analyze the differences in IP-10 mRNA, HBsAg and HBV DNA levels between fatal and surviving cases after 3-month entecavir therapy in HBV-ACLF group.Receiver operating characteristic curves ( ROC) was used to evaluate the prognostic value of IP-10 mRNA, HBsAg and HBV DNA in HBV-ACLF patients .Results IP-10 mRNA level in HBV-ACLF group was 0.998 ±0.186, which was higher than those in CHB patients and healthy controls (0.641 ±0.083 and 0.412 ±0.062, t=3.841 and 16.661, P<0.01).Pearson correlation analysis showed that IP-10 mRNA level was negatively correlated with HBsAg level in HBV-ACLF patients (r=-0.576, P<0.01), but positively correlated with HBV DNA level (r=0.547, P<0.01).After 3-month entecavir therapy , IP-10 mRNA level in surviving cases of HBV-ACLF group was 0.894 ±0.164, which was lower than that in fatal cases ( 1.103 ±0.177, t =-4.328, P <0.01 ); HBsAg level in surviving cases was higher than that in fatal cases (3.303 ±0.565 vs.2.605 ±0.844, t =3.251, P<0.01).The area under ROC of IP-10 mRNA in evaluating prognosis of HBV-ACLF was 0.820, which was higher than those of HBsAg (0.663) and HBV DNA (0.570).Conclusions IP-10 mRNA in patients with HBV-ACLF is over-expressed and is correlated with HBsAg and HBV DNA levels .It may be used for predicting the prognosis of patients with HBV-ACLF.

Hot-melt extrusion (HME) is mainly used to enhance the dissolution rate and bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs. It has many advantages, such as simple process, continuous operation, high efficiency, on-line monitoring and so on. HME provides an innovative approach, which has been concerned by pharmaceutical workers, for preparation of solid dispersion abroad. This article reviews recent advances on preparation of solid dispersion by HME in preparation processing, carrier materials and quality evaluation in order to further promote and apply HME in preparation of solid dispersion.

Objective To assess the efficacy of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for the ablation of feeding-artery in uterine fibroids.Methods A total of 45 women with uterine fibroids who had children accepted HIFU treatment.Color Doppler and contrast-enhanced ultrasound were used to target the supply vessels entered the fibroid.HIFU treatment was focused primarily on locations where supplying vessels entered the fibroid.Conventional ultrasound,color Doppler ultrasound,contrast-enhanced ultrasound and MRI were performed before and after HIFU treatment to observe the changes of imaging.Results After HIFU treatment,the volume of uterine fibroids decreased to certain extent.The blood signals decreased or disappeared in the treated regions.Bewteen two groups of the uterine fibroids diamete ≥5 cm and <5 cm,there were significant differences in the percentage of the nonperfusion regions in the volume of uterine fibroids (≥70%,P <0.05).Conclusions Ablation of feeding artery by HIFU is an effective treatment for the uterine fibroids.HIFU treatment is effective for the ablation of feeding-artery in uterine fibroids whose diameter less than 5 cm.

Objective To screen differentially expressed microRNAs at different stages of hair cycle in a murine model.Methods This study included 30 inbred female C57BL/6 mice (age,6-8 weeks; body weight,15-18 grams).Hair growth cycle was induced in the back skin of C57BL/6 mice by application of wax/rosin followed by depilation under anesthesia witl 1% chloral hydrate.Three mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation on day 0,8 and 20 after the induction,and skin tissue was achieved from the same depilated areas parallel to the spine.Total RNAs were extracted from the murine skin and subjected to microarray analysis of microRNA expression.Results Compared with telogen skin,the murine anagen skin showed a higher expression of miR-690,obselote-49 and miR-1308,but a lower expression of miR-291a-5p and miR-212.The expressions of miR-690,obselote-49 and miR-31 were significantly up-regulated,while those of miR-127-3p and miR-212 were downregulated in the catagen skin in comparison with the telogen skin.Conclusion Seven microRNAs are identified in this study to be differentially expressed in murine skin between different stages of hair cycle,which may provide a direction for future research.

Pancreatic sarcomatoid carcinoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor.The clinical data and computed tomography images of 8 patients with pancreatic sarcomatoid carcinoma who were admitted to the Subei People's Hospital from March 2001 to January 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.The results of computed tomography showed that 8 tumors were cystic and solid,showing exophytic growth.Two tumors were located in the pancreatic head,1 in the pancratic neck,3 in the body of pancreas,and 2 in the tail of the pancreas.The shape of the tumors were round or ellipse,and the mean tumor diameter was (7.2 ± 1.8)cm (range,6.3-9.6 cm).The plain scan of computed tomography showed that the attenuation of the tumors was mild hyperdense (7 cases) or equal to pancreatic tissue (1 case).Tumors were solid with cystic components,and no hemorrhage within the tumor was detected.Small calcification nodule wasdetected in 1 case.The enhanced scan of computed tomography showed that the enhancement of the tumor was moderate; the enhancement of the tumor was higher than that of normal pancreatic parenchyma during venous phase and delayed phase,while lower than that of normal pancreatic parenchyma on arterial phase; the enhancement of tumors was significantly lower than that of aorta during all the enhanced phases.All the tumors had complete capsule,and abnormal enhancement of the capsule was not detected.Three tumors had peripancreatic lymphadenectasis,2 had infiltration of splenic artery,2 had infiltration of splenic flexure of colon and 1 had infiltration of duodenal serosa or muscle.Familiarity with the imaging features of the pancreatic sarcomatoid carcinoma can help surgeons to make a suggestive diagnosis.
