Objective To proceed deep data mining in large database obtained by Cancer Genome Anatomy Project and to distinguish the difference expression genes of gastric carcinoma.Methods The 300,783 serial analysis of gene expression records from 4 libraries of gastric cancer and 2 libraries of normal gastric tissue in database of the Cancer Genome Anatomy Project were analyzed by digital gene expression displayer.Results The 201 difference expression tags represented 136 genes(54 up-regulated and 82 down-regulated) and 65 ESTs(24 up-regulated and 41 down-regulated) were distinguished,and these genes were involved in biological process and signal transduction pathways,such as cell cycle regulation,cell proliferation and apoptosis.The gene expression profile in whole body normal and cancer tissues of PTMA were constructed by digital Northern based on serial analysis of gene expression database and by virtual Northern based on cDNA database,respectively.Conclusion The difference expression genes of gastric cancer can be distinguished effectively with bioinformatics,and the results will guide our further molecular biology research.If validated by molecular biology experiment,the difference expression genes will be used as molecular targets of gastric carcinoma.

Objective To assess the reliability and validity of the effect evaluation index system for health education of coronary heart disease.Methods A total of 306 patients with coronary heart disease in four third-grade and A-level hospitals extacted by convenient sampling method were surveyed.Project analysis,exploratory factor analysis,correlation analysis and so on were applied to analyze and select items.Then the Cronbach's alpha coefficient,test-retest reliability,and content validity of the scale were tested.Then the original system was modified and the eventual system was formed.Results The scale was consisted of 8 first-dimensions and 35 indexes.The Cronbach's α of the total system was 0.832,and the α of subscales were from 0.629 to 0.882.The test-retest reliability of the total system was 0.966,and the testretest reliability of subscales were from 0.848 to 0.942.The S-CVI/Ave of system was 0.99,and the S-CVI/UA of indexes was 0.91.The Pearson correlation coefficient of the indexes with their dimensions were from 0.574 to 0.916,which were higher than the coefficient of the indexes with other dimensions.Factor analysis supported the eight-factor structure of the system,which could explain 65.61％ of the total variance and the factor loading of each index were from 0.430 to 0.938.Conclusions The system is reliable and valid,and can provide a unified reference standard for effect evaluation of health education of coronary heart disease.

Objective To establish a scientific,standard and comprehensive effect evaluation index system for health education of coronary heart disease.Methods Based on KABP (knowledge,attitude,belief,practice,KABP) model of health education,the effect evaluation index system for health education of coronary heart disease was formulated by documentary analysis,qualitative research,questionnaire survey,Delphi method,and analytic hierarchy process.Results The authoritative coefficient,determination coefficient and familiarity coefficient was 0.89,0.91,0.86,respectively.The coordination coefficients of the first-dimension and the second-dimension were 0.295 and 0.302,respectively.The index system consisted of 6 first-dimensions,45 second-dimensions.The weight coefficient of health knowledge,health belief,health behavior,physical signs,quality of life,and satisfaction degree of health education was 0.153 8,0.153 8,0.366 1,0.086 3,0.153 8,0.086 3,respectively.Conclusions The effect evaluation index system for health education of coronary heart disease is reliable and valid,which can provide a quantitative basis for effect evaluation of health education.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of Busheng Huoxue Capsule (BHC) on the quality of life (QOL) in senile male osteoporosis (OP) patients, and to explore its mechanisms.

METHODSTotally 200 senile primary OP patients were randomly assigned to two groups according to random digit table method, 100 in each group. Patients in the treatment group took BHC plus caltrate-D (600 mg CaCO3), while those in the control group took alendronate (70 mg per week) plus caltrate-D. The therapeutic course was 12 months for all. Chinese medical symptom score and quality of life (QUALEFFO-41) score, bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar vertebra (L2 -L4) and left femoral neck were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Serum free testosterone (FT) and estradiol (E2) were also measured.

RESULTSChinese medical symptom scores and QUALEFFO-41 scores, serum FT and E2 levels increased in the two groups after treatment (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The therapeutic effect was superior in the treatment group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). After treatment the BMD of lumbar vertebra (L2 -L4) and the left femoral neck were somewhat improved (P < 0.05), but with no statistical difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONBHC could effectively improve the QOL of senile male OP patients, which might be correlated with elevating the BMD levels and regulating the levels of sex hormones.

OBJECTIVE To study the clinic feature and cause of misdiagnosis of early stage syphilis and evaluate the significance of histopathology in the diagnosis of the disease. METHODS Totally 1 200 early syphilis cases were analyzed.The serologic test for syphilis was performed.Thirty five of them were performed with histopathological examination. RESULTS The primary syphilis was found to be commonly misdiagnosed as chancroid,genital herpes,scabies nodules and ulcus vulvae acutum.For secondary syphilis,macular syphilide and maculopapular syphilide were easily misdiagnosed as pityriasis rosea or dermatitis.The papulosquamous syphilide was commonly misdiagnosed as psoriasis.The condyloma latum was commonly misdiagnosed as condyloma acuminatum. CONCLUSIONS The serologic test is important in diagnosis of primary syphilis.The histopathologic test plays a role in diagnosis of primary syphilis,condyloma latum and papulosquamous syphilide,but of limited value in diagnosis of macular syphilide.

Objective To investigate the mRNA expression of a proliferation inducing ligand (APRIL) and its receptors including B cell maturation antigen (BCMA),transmembrane activator.calcium modulator and cyclophilin ligand interactor (TACI) in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SEE).Methods APRIL mRNA、BCMA mRNA and TACI mRNA in PBMCs were detected by real-time quantitative PCR in 66 SLE patients and 25 normal controls.Gene expression level was measured as 2-AACT.Results The expression levels of APRIL mRNA、BCMA mRNA and TACI-mRNA were significantly increased in both active SLE group and stable SLE group compared with those in the normal controls(P<0.01 for all).The expression levels of APRIL mRNA and TACI mRNA in active SLE group were significantly higher than those in stable SLE group(P<0.01,P<0.05,respectively).But there was no significant difierence in the expression levels of BCMA mRNA between the SLE stable and active groups-Beside,the expression levels of APRIL mRNA and TACI mRNA were significantly increased in patients with lupus nephritis (LN) compared to patients with non-LN (P<0.01 for all).Conclusion The expression levels of APRIL and its receptors are significantly elevated in SLE patients.It may suggest that APRIL and its receptors play an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE.

Objective To systematically review the effect of donor ischaemic preconditioning in liver transplantation.Methods Databases including the Cochrane Library,PubMed,EMbase,CNKI,VIP and WanFang database were searched up to June 2016 for studies which involved donor ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) in liver transplantation.The data retrieved included 1-year mortality,incidence of Primary Graft Non-Functioning (PGNF),intensive therapy unit (ICU) hospitalization and liver function tests which were used to evaluate the treatment outcomes.The data were analyzed using both the fixed-effect and the random-effects models.For categorical outcomes,risk ratio (RR) with 95％ confidence intervals (CI) were calculated.For continuous outcomes,the mean difference (MD) with 95％ CI were calculated.The metaanalysis was performed using Review Manager 5.2 software.Results Six clinical studies with 322 patients were qualified for this meta-analysis.There were no significant differences in the 1-year mortality (OR =0.51,95％ CI 0.24 ～ 1.05,P ＞ 0.05),PGNF (OR =0.33,95％ CI 0.08 ～ 1.40,P ＞ 0.05) and ICU hospitalization (OR =-0.17,95 ％ CI-2.72 ～ 2.38,P ＞ 0.05) between the donor ischaemic preconditioning and the control groups.There were also no significant differences in the transaminase and bilirubin levels on postoperative day 1,3 and 7 between the two groups.Conclusion There is currently not enough evidence in evidenced based medicine to recommend the routine use of ischaemic preconditioning in donor liver retrieval.

Objective To investigate the role of white matter astrocytes and their specific protein S100A4 in sensory neurite outgrowth in vitro.Methods White matter astrocyte cultures expressing S100A4 were prepared. Dissociated adult dorsal root ganglion(DRG)cells were placed on the top of the astrocytes and co-cultured for 6,12, 18,24 hours.Small interfering S100A4 RNA was used to eliminate S100A4 expression.The growth of DRG cell neu- rites on S100A4-sileneed and S100A4-expressing astrocytes was compared.Results 12,18 and 24 hours after the co-culture with S100A4-expressing or S100A4-silenced astroeytes,neurite growth from the DRG cells was observed. Neurite outgrowth was significantly greater in S100A4 siRNA treated cultures compared to control siRNA treated white matter astrocyte cultures.Conclusion These findings suggest that white matter astroeytes are able to support axonal regeneration and,furthermore,that administration of small interfering S100A4 RNA provides strong additional support for axon regeneration.

Objective To explore the quality of life (QOL) and its influential factors among patients with 3 major rheumatic diseases. Methods A total of 216 patients with rheumatic diseases (84 patients with systemic lu- pus erythematosus, SLE, 83 with rheumatoid arthritis, RA, and 49 with ankylosing spondylitis, AS) were recruited. The information with regard to their quality of life, sociopsychological factors and the evaluation of disease activity were obtained by using the medical outcomes study short form-36 (SF-36) and clinic documents. Results Patients with rheumatic diseases scored significantly lower with each subscale of SF-36 as compared to those of a healthy popu- lation in China (P

Objective To compare the therapeutic effects of locking compression plate distal ulna hook plate (LCP-DUHP) and cannulated screws in the internal fixation for fractures of the fifth metatarsal base at zones Ⅰ and Ⅱ.Methods This retrospective study included 67 patients who had been treated for fractures of the fifth metatarsal base at zones Ⅰ and Ⅱ from July 2013 through December 2015.Of them,29 were treated by internal fixation with cannulated screws,including 17 men and 12 women with an average age of 46.6 years.There were 13 zone Ⅰ fractures and 16 zone Ⅱ fractures according to the Lawrence-Botte partition.The other 38 patients were treated by internal fixation with LCP-DUHP,including 20 men and 18 women with an average age of 33.7 years.There were 20 zone Ⅰ fractures and 18 zone Ⅱ fractures according to the Lawrence-Botte partition.The therapeutic effects were evaluated at the final follow-ups using visual analogue scale (VAS) for the affected feet,American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot scoring system,and incidence of postoperative complications.Results All this series were followed up for 51 to 87 weeks (average,57weeks).There were no significant differences between the cannulated screws group and the LCP-DUHP group in terms of fracture healing time (13.9 ± 1.6 weeks versus 14.2 ± 1.8 weeks),VAS scores (4.9 ± 1.3 versus 4.8 ± 1.O) or AOFAS midfoot scores (87.9 ± 3.4 versus 88.6 ± 2.5) (P ＞ 0.05).Bony union was achieved in all.No implant failure was observed in this series.Conclusion Both LCP-DUHP and cannulated screws can lead to satisfactory therapeutic effects in the treatment of fractures of the fifth metatarsal base at zones Ⅰ and Ⅱ.
