Objective To investigate the influence on biological characteristics in human pancreatic cancer cells after beding transfected by two anti-carcinoma miRNAs at the same time.Methods Pancreatic cancer cells PANC1,SW1990 and normal pancreatic cells AR42J were transfected by miR-34a and(or) miR-let7 by liposome.Cells transfected with negative control miRNA (miR-NC) and untransfected were as controls.The expression of miR-34a and miR-let7 were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR.The cell proliferation was detected by MTT test and the migration and invasion were evaluated by transwell assay.The apoptosis rate was measured by flow cytometric analysis.Results After being transfected with miRNAs,the expression of miR-34a and miR-let7 in double transfection group (miR-34a and miR-let7 were transfected at the same time),miR-34a transfection group,miR-let7 transfection group was significantly up-regulated than those in miRNA-NC transfection group and untransfected group in PANC1 cells,SW1990 cells and AR42J cells,repectively.The difference which was statistically significant (P ＜0.05)indicating that cells were successfully transfected.The cell proliferation in double transfection group of PANC1 cells and SW1990 cells were (0.665 ± 0.01,0.6375 ± 0.03),which were significantly inhibited compared with (0.974 ± 0.03,0.971 ±0.05) in miR-NC group and (0.8875 ±0.05,0.8625 ±0.06) in miR-let7 group.The difference was statistically significant(P ＜ 0.05).The cell proliferation activity in double transfection group was lower than those in miR-34a group (0.795 ±0.06,0.7925 ±0.06),but did not have statistically significant difference.There was no significant change in AR42J cells.Cell invasion assay showed that the number of PANC1 cells permeating substrate membrane in miR34a group (103.7 ± 3.28) and miR-let7 group (100.7 ± 1.76) were significantly fewer than miR-NC group (231.3 ±2.6) and untransfected group (153.7 ±2.6).The number of cells permeating substrate membrane in double transfection group(61.67 ± 3.18)was fewer than miR-34a group and miR-let7 group,respectively.The difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).The migration test had consistent results with invasion test.The changes of invasion and migration in SW1990 cells were similar to those in PANC1 cells.The apoptosis rate of PANC1 cells in miR-34a group,miR-let7 group,double transfection group,miR-NC group and untransfected group was (16.66 ± 1.27) ％,(15.46 ± 0.33) ％,(23.35 ± 1.80) ％,(9.33 ± 0.31) ％ and (8.83 ± 0.36) ％ respectively.Single transfection group had higher apoptosis rate than miR-NC group and untransfected group (P ＜0.05).Double transfection group had a significantly higher apoptosis rate than miR-let7 group (P ＜ 0.05),while there was no significant difference between double transfection group and miR-34a group.Conclusions The cell proliferation,invasion and migration in double miRNAs transfected pancreatic cancer cells were significantly down-regulated compared with those in single miRNA transfected cells,while apoptosis rate in double miRNAs transfection group was higher than single miRNA transfection group.Thus,the combination of two anti-cancer miRNAs may exert a more significant synergistic antitumor effect.

Objective To investigate the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) complicating with pancreatic abnormalities in China.Methods A retrospective analysis for clinical data of 592 IBD cases hospitalized in Changhai hospital from June 2009 to May 2017 were conducted,and the incidence of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn disease (CD) complicating with pancreatic abnormalities was analyzed.Cases were divided into two groups according to whether anti TNF-α bodies therapy for treating IBD was given,and the incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP) in UC and CD patients complicating with pancreatic abnormalities was compared.Results There were 2 patients with pancreatic abnormalities in 310 CD cases including one with AP and pancreatic cystic lesions(PCL),and one with PCL.There were a total of 14 patients with pancreatic abnormalities in 282 UC cases including 4 cases with AP,4 cases with chronic pancreatitis (CP),4 cases with pancreatic cancer (PC),one case with CP and PC and one case with type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP).The incidence of pancreatic abnormalities in UC was significantly higher than that in CD (P ＜0.01).No AP happened (0/62) in patients receiving anti TNF-α bodies therapy.There were 5 AP cases in patients without anti TNF-α bodies therapy group (5/449),and the difference was not statistical significant.Conclusions UC is more closely associated with pancreatic abnormalities,especially CP and PC.Whether anti TNF-αtherapy could decrease the AP risk in IBD patients has not yet been determined.

Objective To assess the feasibility and efficacy of multi-modality three dimensional imaging reconstructive technology in diagnosing the urethral stricture.Methods Totally,121 male patients,suffered with urethral strictures,were enrolled in this study between January 2012 and June 2017.Their age ranged from 17 to 63 years old.The etiology included pelvic fracture in 71 cases,straddle injury in 16 cases,iatrogenic injury in 25 cases,infection in 9 cases.All patients accepted the routine antegrade and retrograde urethrography.The slim CT scan and 3D image reconstruction were performed in patients with posterior urethral stricture.The 3D ultrasound detection and image reconstruction were used in patients with anterior urethral strictures.The fly-through mode was used in each 3D image in order to simulate the process of endoscopic examination.The length of stricture was compared between that in traditional urethrography and in 3D dimensional image,based on the results from anastomotic procedure and substitution.Result Among patients,71 cases were diagnosed as posterior urethral stricture and 50 cases were diagnosed as anterior urethral stricture.In those patients with posterior urethral stricture,no statistical significant difference of stricture length was noticed between traditional urethrography and 3 D dimensional image [(2.30 ± 1.60)cm vs.(2.18 ± 1.55)cm,P =0.91)].In patients who complained about the urine leakage from anus,higher detective rate of fistula could be seen in the CT 3D image than that in traditional endoscopic examination (87.9％ vs.77.6％).To patients with anterior urethral strictures,no statistical significant difference of stricture length was noticed between traditional urethrography and 3D dimensional image [Penile:(2.13 ±0.34) cm vs.(2.24 ± 0.31) cm,P =0.13;Bulbar:(1.98 ± 0.47) cm vs.(2.13 ± 0.32) cm,P =0.23)].However,the advantage of 3D image could be shown in detecting the lesion of navicular fossa and periurethral pathologic fibrosis.In the fly-through mode,the effect of 3D CT image seems to be superior to that in the 3D ultrasound image,which could show more smooth urethral wall and longer urethral segment.The limitation of those 3D image reconstructive technology was that long time consuming was needed during the 3D image reconstruction.Conclusion Our study showed that the multi-modality three dimensional imaging reconstructive technology can improve the sensitivity and specify in diagnosing the urethral stricture.After some modification,it will become the alternative method in diagnosing the urethral stricture.

This article reports a case of a 38-year-old female who developed drug hypersensitivity syndrome one month after receiving propylthiouracil. The patient showed improvement with adalimumab, corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, and plasma exchange. Propylthiouracil is a rare medication associated with drug hypersensitivity syndrome. Additionally, during the follow-up after discharge, rapid changes in thyroid autoantibodies and thyroid function were observed in this patient. By analyzing the progression of this case and reviewing literature, it aims to enhance clinical understanding and management.
