Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) is a kind of length greater than 200 nucleotides not encode any proteins RNA molecules.Although not encode any proteins,LncRNA through chromatin modification,transcription activation and interference et al.involved in a variety of control process in the cell.In recent years,the study found that the expression of a variety of LncRNA abnormalities in gastric cancer.These changes are closely associated with the development and prognosis of gastric cancer,regulate the expression of related LncRNA can significantly improve the prognosis of patients.Targeted to regulate the expression of LncRNA can provide new strategies for treatment of gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic features and prognostic significance of BRCA1 and Ki-67 expression in breast cancer.Methods The expression levels of BRCA1 and Ki-67 were assayed by immunohistochemistry in 194 cases of breast cancer tissues.The correlations of BRCA1 and Ki-67 expression with patients' clinicopathologic features were also analysed.Results Low expression of BRCA1 was detected in the lymph node metastasis group,ER/PR negative group,and HER-2 positive group in 194 patients with breast cancer (P ＜ 0.05),as well as in the triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) group compared to non-TNBC group (P ＜0.05).High expression of Ki-67 was detected in patients with higher histological grade,negative ER/PR,and positive HER-2 (P ＜ 0.05).Furthermore,negative correlation was found between the expression of BRCA1 and Ki-67 (P ＜ 0.05).The combination of low expression of BRCAl and high expression of Ki-67 was mostly found in the patients with postmenopausal,lower histological grade,lymph node metastasis,negative ER/PR and positive HER-2 (P ＜ 0.05).However,there was no significant difference between TNBC and non-TNBC.Conclusion Joint detection of BRCA1 and Ki-67 might play an important role in predicting clinical outcomes of breast cancer,especially BRCA1 may be one of prognostic factors in TNBC.

Purpose To analyze and compare the imaging characteristics of contrastenhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and dynamic contrast-enhanced CT for hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) diagnosis.Materials and Methods The imaging characteristics of CEUS and dynamic contrast-enhanced CT performed on 16 patients with pathological-confirmed HEHE were retrospectively analyzed.Dynamic contrast-enhanced CT was performed on 5 patients,real-time CEUS was performed on 8 patients,and both examinations were performed on 3 patients.Results On CEUS,14 lesions were selected from 11 HEHE cases.In the case of enhancement mode,5 lesions displayed ringenhancement,and 9 lesions displayed global enhancement;in the case of arterial phase,11 lesions were synchronously enhanced,and 3 lesions were rapidly enhanced compared with liver parenchyma;in the case of peak time,hyper-enhancement,iso-enhancement and hypo-enhancement were observed in 2 lesions,9 lesions and 3 lesions,respectively;all 14 lesions manifested hypoechoic mass in portal phase and delayed phase.On dynamic contrast-enhanced CT,29 lesions were found in 8 HEHE cases.In the case of arterial phase,9 lesions (31.0％) showed slight inhomogeneous enhancement,4 lesions (13.8％) showed no obvious enhancement and 16 (55.2％) lesions showed slight edge enhancement;all 29 lesions presented continuous hypo-enhancement in delayed phase.Conclusion Both CEUS and dynamic contrast-enhanced CT have respective characteristic manifestations,and are of high value for the diagnosis of HEHE.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and management of solid-pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas. MethodsTwenty-two SPT patients were retrospectively reviewed and divided into two groups, misdiagnosed group and those with preoperatively correct diagnosis. ResultsAbout one half (46%) SPT cases were misdiagnosed preoperatively. With time SPT tends to invade its capsule resulting in impossibility of radical resection, and increased medical expenses. ConclusionsAlthough SPT is of low degree malignant, and the prognosis after surgical resection is satisfactory, misdiagnosis and preoperative misdiagnosis and inappropriate management still cost the patients increased expenses and inhospital stay.

Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and surgical treatment of parathyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods Clinical data of 8 PTC cases were analyzed retrospectively. Results PTC accounted for 5. 7% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in our hospital. There were 4 men and 4 women. Male patients had younger mean onset age compared with female patients. The disease history of PTC was shorter than PHPT of benign causes. Six patients were admitted for acute hypercalcemia. Seven patients complained of palpable neck mass. Calcium level was 3.75?0.34 mmol/L,and PTH level was 1429.47?841.75 pg/ml. Frozen section established diagnosis in only one case. Four patients underwent radical en bloc resection. Other 4 cases received routine simple parathyroidectomy, 3 patients developed recurrence in 12 - 18 months postoperatively. Conclusions Acute hypercalcemia is common in PTC. Frozen biopsy diagnosis is not satisfactory. An initial en bloc resection of tumor and adjacent structures contributes most to the prognosis.

BACKGROUND:Porous gradient hydroxyapatite/zirconia composite, which can adhere to a variety of cel s, such as osteoblasts, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s and chondrocytes, can induce and promote fracture healing or replace bone defects. OBJECTIVE:To review the development and application of porous gradient hydroxyapatite/zirconia composite in bone tissue engineering. METHODS:Articles related to porous gradient hydroxyapatite/zirconia composite in bone tissue engineering were retrieved in CNKI and PubMed databases (1971-01/2014-12). The key words were“porous bioceramic, bone tissue engineering, bone morphogenetic protein-2, induced pluripotent stem cel s”in Chinese and English, respectively. A total of 54 articles based on inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria were obtained for the review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Porous gradient hydroxyapatite/zirconia composite can provide a scaffold to induce natural y forming bone growing to fil the three-dimensional pores, thus realizing the perfect integration of tissue-engineered bone material and host-bone tissue. As zirconia functions as an enhancer of hydroxyapatite, high-quality artificial bone materials, which have elastic modulus, fracture toughness and structure similar to human bone, can be prepared by adjusting the proportion and porosity of materials. Additional y, the new hydroxyapatite/zirconia foamed ceramics as tissue-engineered bone carrying bone morphogenetic protein-2/chitosan gel sustained release system and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s derived from induced pluripotent stem cel s wil be expected to increase bone formation and bone fusion rates significantly in the future.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy and clinical application of endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in diagnosis of occupying lesions in upper digestive tract and its pe-ripheral areas. Methods The data of 64 patients who underwent EUS-FNA for occupying lesions in upper di-gestive tract, between July 2006 and December 2007, were retrospectively analyzed. Results EUS-FNA was successfully performed on 62 patients, with a success rate of 96.88%. The overall diagnostic accuracy, sensi-tivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of EUS-FNA for occupying lesions in upper digestive tract and its peripheral areas were 88.71%, 86.54%, 100.00%, 100.00%, and 58.82%, respectively. There was no significant difference between the foei larger and smaller than 3cm (P > 0.05), re-garding the diagnostic accuracy and average puncture numbers. Diagnostic accuracy of those with real-time cy-tolngical evaluation was significantly higher than those without (P=0.029), and the puncture numbers were less (P=0.001). Among the total 99 punctures, the positive diagnostic accuracy of those with 5ml negative pressure suction was significantly higher than those of 10 ml (P = 0.044). Conclusion EUS-FNA is a safe and applicable approach to diagnosis of occupying lesions in upper digestive tract and its peripheral areas with higher diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value. Moreover, the real-time cyto-logical evaluation and adequate negative pressure might facilitate the diagnosis accuracy.

BACKGROUND:Percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are both effective in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, but different in the distribution and dispersion of bone cement. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To analyze the factors affecting the bone cement dispersion within the vertebral body in treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture with vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty. ＜br> METHODS:A total of 41 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures were included, and divided into three groups:group A (22 cases receiving high viscosity bone cement vertebroplasty treatment), group B (5 cases receiving high viscosity bone cement kyphoplasty), group C (14 cases receiving low viscosity bone cement vertebroplasty treatment). The groups A and C were divided into subgroups according to bone cement injection volume, time from fracture to operation, preoperative degree of vertebral compression. The distribution and dispersion of bone cement in the vertebra were reconstructed by the CT three-dimensional imaging and volume rendering analysis. ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the three groups, after operation, relative dispersion area and relative dispersion volume in the vertebrae had no obvious difference, and the bone cement could al diffuse to upper and lower lamina cross the vertebral midline. There was no significant difference in bone cement diffusion coefficient among the three groups. In a certain range, the bone cement injection volume and bone cement dispersion volume was positively correlated. In groups A and C, bone cement diffusion coefficient decreased with the increasing of bone cement injection volume, time from fracture to operation, and the compression degree of the fractured vertebrae, but showed no significant correlation with bone cement viscosity.
