Objective:To investigate the effects of 5-aza-2′deoxycytidine(5-aza-dC),a DNA methyltransferase (DNMT)inhibitor, on the methylation status of the RECK gene and the invasion of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma cell lines.Methods:Methylation-specific PCR,Western blot analysis and quantitative real-time PCR were used to investigate the methylation status of RECK gene and the expression of RECK mRNA and protein in SACC cell lines.The invasive ability of SACC cells was examined by transwell assay. Results:Promoter methylation was only found in ACC-Mcell line and not in ACC-2 cell line.Treatment of ACC-Mcells with 5-aza-dC partially reversed the hypermethylation status of the RECK gene and significantly enhanced the expression level of mRNA and pro-tein of RECK,suppressed ACC-Mcell invasive ability.Conclusion:5-aza-dC can inhibit ACC-Mcell invasion by reversal of hyperm-ethylation status of RECK gene.

Rats receiving unilateral nigral injection of 6 OHDA resulted in distinct reduction of DA (-88% ) , DOPAC(-80%) and HVA(-60%) in striatum of lesioned side, and the contents of 5HT and 5HIAA remained almost constant in comparison with that of contralateral striatum, suggesting selective lesion of nigrostriatal dopaminer-gic pathway induced by 6OHDA. Following 6OHDA lesion the rats exhibited circling behaviour after APO challenge. 1-Stephaniae ( 1-STP ) significantly antagonizied the action of APO in circling model in dose-dependent manner. Our results indicate that 1-STP possesses the ability to block DA receptor of central nervous system.

OBJECTIVETo explore the therapeutic effect of radiofrequency ablation for tongue venous malformation( VM).
METHODSFrom July 2013 to July 2014, 30 cases with tongue VM (local or diffuse) were retrospectively analyzed. 23 cases underwent radiofrequency ablation treatment. The radiofrequency electrode tip(0. 5 mm in diameter) was inserted into the lesion 1 mm below the bottom with 25 W in power and 15-30 s of pulse. The treatment was repeated when the electrode tip was removed back every 1 mm. Multi-point treatment was performed.
RESULTS15 cases with unilateral VM were completely healed after one-stage radiofrequency ablation. 8 cases with bilateral VM received two-stage radiofrequency ablation with a 3-6 months of interval. Among the 8 cases, completely healing was achieved in 5 cases, partial VM residue happened in 3 cases due to its diffuse lesion and reservation of tongue function. 23 cases were followed up for 3 month to 1.5 years. Good cosmetic and functional results was achieved in 20 cases with no relapse. Partial VM residue was left in 3 cases.
CONCLUSIONSRadiofrequency ablation can effectively treat tongue VM with minimal morbidity and good cosmetic appearance. It also avoids the disadvantages of surgery.

ObjectiveTo validate a modified HEART [History, Electrocardiograph (ECG), Age, Risk factors and Troponin] risk score in chest pain patients with suspected non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) in the emergency department (ED).Methods This retrospective cohort study used a prospectively acquired database and chest pain patients admitted to the emergency department with suspected NSTE-ACS were enrolled. Data recorded on arrival at the ED were used. The serum sample of high-sensitivity cardiac Troponin I other than conventional cardiac Troponin I used in the HEART risk score was tested. The modified HEART risk score was calculated. The end point was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) defined as a composite of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), percu-taneous intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), or all-cause death, within three months after initial presentation.Results A total of 1,300 patients were enrolled. A total of 606 patients (46.6%) had a MACE within three months: 205 patients (15.8%) were diag-nosed with AMI, 465 patients (35.8%) underwent PCI, and 119 patients (9.2%) underwent CABG. There were 10 (0.8%) deaths. A progres-sive, significant pattern of increasing event rate was observed as the score increased (P < 0.001 byχ2 for trend). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.84. All patients were classified into three groups: low risk (score 0–2), intermediate risk (score 3–4), and high risk (score 5–10). Event rates were 1.1%, 18.5%, and 67.0%, respectively (P < 0.001).ConclusionsThe modified HEART risk score was validated in chest pain patients with suspected NSTE-ACS and may complement MACE risk assessment and patients triage in the ED. A prospective study of the score is warranted.

Objective To investigate the relationship between lipid fluctuations of daily diet and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) with normal fasting lipid profile. Methods One hundred and ninety?eight cases patients with T2DM who were treated in the Endocrinology Department of the General Hospital of Benxi Iron and Steel Group Corporation from October 2012 to September 2014 were selected. Patients were divided into three groups according to fasting and postprandial 4 h triglyceride( TG4 h)
level,the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h with 38 cases,the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h with 78 cases,the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h with 82 cases. The control group was composed of healthy volunteers with 20 cases. The patients followed daily diet habits to eat,blood glucose, insulin and lipid level of fasting and 2 h,4 h after lunch were monitored. Homeostasis model insulin resistance index( HOMA?IR) was used as an index to evaluate insulin resistance,and the correlation analysis was carried out with fasting and dietary intake of postprandial lipid metabolism. Results (1)HbA1c,FPG,HOMA?IR,TG and insulin level in the patients of the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h,the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h,the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the control group (HbA1c:(8. 4±1. 9)%,(8. 2±2. 4)%,(7. 8±1. 8)% vs. (4. 3±0. 6)%);FPG:(8. 98±1. 93) mmol/L, (8. 62±1. 33) mmol/L,(8. 28±1. 26) mmol/L vs. (4. 82±0. 63) mmol/L;,HOMA?IR:11. 07±0. 11,6. 98 ±0. 08,3. 83±0. 09 vs. 1. 24±0. 16;TG:0 h TG:(2. 35±1. 85) mmol/L,(1. 60±0. 41) mmol/L,(1. 58±0. 46) mmol/L vs. (0. 82±0. 25) mmol/L;2 h TG:(3. 97±2. 96) mmol/L,(2. 98±1. 49) mmol/L,(1. 83±0. 62) mmol/L vs. (1. 22±0. 31) mmol/L;4 h TG:(4. 24±1. 57) mmol/L,(3. 15±1. 63) mmol/L,(1. 92±0. 53) mmol/L vs. (1. 16±0. 24) mmol/L;insulin(0 h insulin:(26. 51±3. 65) mU/L,(18. 18±6. 24) mU/L,(10. 31 ±2. 38) mU/L vs. (5. 87±1. 62) mU/L;2 h insulin:(59. 15±8. 34) mU/L,(43. 75±9. 83) mU/L,(34. 27 ±1. 61) mU/L vs. (25. 24±1. 98) mU/L;4 h insulin:(51. 22±6. 79) mU/L,(40. 06±7. 51) mU/L,(31. 06 ±1.77) mU/L vs. (13.36±1.37) mU/L;P<0.05). (2)WHR(0.90±0.08 vs.0.72±0.06),HOMA?IR, insulin level of fasting and 2 h,4 h after lunch,TG of 2 h,4 h after lunch in the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h ( P<0. 05 ) . ( 3 ) BMI ((27. 3±3. 3) kg/m2 vs. (23. 1±1. 5) kg/m2),WHR(0. 96±0. 10 vs. 0. 72±0. 06),HOMA?IR,TG and insulin level of fasting and 2 h,4 h after lunch in the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h( P<0. 05) . HOMA?IR,TG and insulin level of fasting and 2 h, 4 h after lunch in the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h( P<0. 05) . ( 4) HOMA?IR was positively correlated with BMI,WHR,and fasting TG levels in the groups with diabetes(r=0. 297,0. 376,0. 326,P<0. 05). HOMA?IR was significantly positively correlated with TG of 2 h,4 h after lunch in the groups with diabetes( r=0. 529,0. 693,P<0. 05) . HOMA?IR was significantly positively correlated with BMI and WHR in the control group(r=0. 617,0. 728,P <0. 05). HOMA?IR was not significantly correlated with fasting and postprandial TG in the control group. Conclusion Postprandial lipid metabolism disorder after daily diet is in some of patients with T2DM with normal fasting lipid profile. Postprandial lipid metabolism disorder after daily diet is significantly positively correlated with insulin resistance in patients with T2DM. Insulin resistance may be one of the pathogenesis of postprandial dyslipidemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.
