Objective　To investigate the significance of TGF-β1, TGFRl and TGFR2 in the pathogenesis and prognosis in patients with myelofibrosis. Methods　The expression of TGF-β1 and its receptors (TGFR1 and TGFR2 ) in bone marrow tissues and the level of TGF-β1 in the blood of 23 patients with myelofibrosis were detected by SABC immunocytochemistry and ELISA repectively. Results　Expression of TGF-β1 and TGFR 1 was significantly higher in primary and secondary myelofibrosis patients than that of the control. No significant difference of TGFR2 expression was found between the groups of myelofibrosis and the control (P>0.05). The level of TGF-β1 in the blood of the patients with myelofibrosis was significantly higher than that of the control (P<0.01) and more obvious in secondary cases while TGF-β1 decreased nearly to the normal level when patients were in clinical remission. Conclusion　TGF-β1 and it's receptors may be involved in the pathogenesis of myelofibrosis and might be of importance for the prognosis of the patients with myelofibrosis.

Objective: To study the hypoglycemic activity of polysaccharides from Tremella aurantialba mycelium (TMP). Methods: The anti-hyperglycemic effect of TMP was investigated in normal mice and diabetic rats induced by alloxan in comparison with phenformin and acarbose. Results: TMP not only decreased serum glucose level in normal mice, but also in diabetic rats. After i.g.TMP to hyperglycemic rats for 1w, the glucose and TG in serum were decreased obviously , but serum TC did not change remarkably. After i.g. 100 mg/(kg ?d) TMP to hyperglycemic rats for 23 d, liver glycogen and BLA did not change significantly, but serum glucose was reduced obviously compared with the control . Conclusion: TMP has obvious hypoglycemic activity and can reduce hyperlipemic complications.

Objective: To determine the potential diagnostic value of miRNA-29 (miR-29) for malignant tumor. Methods: A systematic search of literature regarding miR-29 was performed in three English databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase) and two Chinese databases (Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure [CNKI] and WanFang). The retrieval was ended until September 15, 2018. Search terms included miRNA-29 (miR-29), tumor, cancer, serum, plasma, diagnosis, etc. Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) was carried out to evaluate the quality of the selected articles. STATA12.0 was used to calculate the combined sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR) and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR). Subgroup analysis and Meta-regression analysis were carried out to explore the origin of heterogeneity. Results: Twenty eligible articles were selected from 1 172 literatures related to tumors and miR-29. The combined sensitivity was 0.76 (95%CI: 0.68-0.83), combined specificity was 0.83 (95%CI: 0.74-0.89), combined PLR was 4.5 (95%CI: 2.7-7.4), combined NLR was 0.28 (95%CI: 0.20-0.41), DOR was 16 (95%CI: 7-35), and theAUC was 0.86 (95%CI: 0.83-0.89). The combined specificity of plasma samples was higher than that of serum samples, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). There was a higher diagnostic value of miR-29 for breast cancer and pancreatic cancer (DOR=101.52, 11.22), but lower diagnostic value for colorectal cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (DOR=5.05, 6.57); miR-29b showed a high diagnostic value for cancer (DOR=60.91). The publication bias was not obvious in this study (P>0.05). Conclusion: This systematic review and Meta-analysis suggests that miR-29 family is a potential biomarker in the diagnosis of cancers with great sensitivity and specificity.

Atomic absorption spectrometry was employed to determine the levels of 7 essential trace elements in the whole blood of 150 mainteinance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.And comparisons were made with the normal group of 200 participants in routine medical examination at the same time at our hospital.And among 7 indices,as compared with the control group,the blood levels of zinc,chromium,cobalt and manganese were significantly lower (P ＜ 0.05) while those of selenium and copper higher (P ＜ 0.05).MHD patients lacked essential trace elements to a varying extent.A clinician should pay attention to complementing essential trace elements to improve the patient's quality of life.
