Purpose To investigate the expression and clinical significance of RINGI and YYI binding protein (RYBP)in pancreatic carcinoma (PC).Methods RYBP expression was detected in 51 cases of PC tissues and paired adjacent nontumor tissues by immunohistochemistry.The correlation between RYBP expression and the survival time of PC patients after surgery was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method.Results Compared to the expression in adjacent non-tumor tissues,RYBP was significantly lower expressed in PC tissues (P ＜ 0.05).In addition,RYBP expression had a significant correlation with tumor diameter and tumor staging of patients (P ＜ 0.05),but no significant correlation with other characteristics of patients,such as gender,age,smoking,alcohol intake,tumor number,metastasis or CA199 level (P ＞ 0.05).The survival analysis showed that the survival time of PC patients with positive expression of RYBP was significantly longer than patients with negative expression of RYBP (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion RYBP is significantly lower expressed in PC tissues,which might be involved in the pathogenesis of PC.

Objective To investigate the effect of Toll-like receptor 2(TLR2)on the proliferation of human keratinocytes.Methods Keratinocytes were isolated from the foreskin of children,and subjected to primary culture.Atier 3-5 passages.the kemtinocytes were incubated with various concentrations of peptidoglycan(PGN).a TLR2 agonist.Cell proliferation was detected by MTT colorimetric assay and the suitable concentrations of PGN were determined.The mRNA and protein expressions of Ki67.TLR2.NF-kB p65 and TGF-α were detected by real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot.respectively,in keratinocytes treated witll PGN of 0,1.25,2.5 and 5 μg/mL.Antibody blocking test was utilized to evaluate the effect of blocking TLR2 with specific anti-TLR2 neutralizing monoclonal antibody before incubation with PGN on the expressions of Ki67,TLR2,NF-KB p65 and TGF-α by keratinocytes.Results The proliferation of kemtinocytes was significantly promoted by the incubation with PGN of 1.25,2.5 and 5μg/mL for 24 hours (all P＜0.05),which also increased the expression of Ki67 protein,TLR2 mRNA and protein,and NF-KB p65 protein.Further more,the mRNA expression of Ki67 in keratinocytes was elevated bv PGN of 1.25 and 2.5μg/mL,the mRNA expression of NF-KB p65 elevated by PGN of 1.25μg/mL,and the expressions of TGF-αprotein and mRNA elevated by PGN of 1.25 and 5μg/mL (P＜0.05).The mRNA and protein expressions of Ki67,TLR2,NF-kB p65 and TGF-αwere all inhibited by the blocking of TLR2 before incubation with PGN (a11 P＜0.05).Conclusion Activation of TLR2 bv PGN could induce the over-proliferation of human keratinocytes,likely through promoting NF-rB activation and TGF-α expression.

Objective To study radiological characteristics of hand-foot-mouth disease(HFMD) in children. Methods The chest X-ray films of 1295 children patients of HFMD were analyzed,for the general X-ray manifestations and the evolution. Results A total of 1427 films was obtained from all patients, in which 1203 cases were normal and 224 cases were abnormal. The interstitial changes characterized the abnormal group, mainly as increased and vague lung markings, increased hilar shadows (137 cases).The parenchyma changes appeared as patchy exudative shadows(49 cases). Short-term dynamic observation was applied in 62 cases, 38 cases pulmonary disease progression manifested as normal and the interstitial type changing into the parenchyma type and the mixed type, the localized type changing into the diffuse type. Conclusions Most children patients of HFMD showed normal chest films, while the abnormal patients were characterized by interstitial and parenchyma pulmonary edema. Serial chest X-ray examination and short-term dynamic observation were important to identify the severe cases and assess patients' condition.

Objective To master the situation of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) and the people's iodine nutritional status after implementation of the new salt iodine standard in Gansu Province in 2012.Methods Totally 30 counties (cities) were selected in Gansu Province by population proportionate to size sampling (PPS) method in 2014,and one primary school was selected in each counties (cities).In each selected school,50 children aged 8-10 years old were selected for thyroid examination by B-ultrasound,urine samples were collected for iodine determination,and salt samples were collected for iodine determination from a subset of children included in the study.Totally 20 pregnant women were selected from the towns with the sampled schools and urine samples were collected for iodine determination.Arsenic and cerium catalysis spectrophotometry (WS/T 107-2006) was used to detect urinary iodine content;direct titration (GB/T 13025.7-2012) was used to detect edible salt iodine content.Urinary iodine of children and pregnant women were compared with 2011 (before implementation of the new salt iodine standard).Results The median of salt iodine was 26.6 mg/kg,the iodized salt coverage rate was 99.5％ (1 492/1 500),the qualified rate of iodized salt was 89.3％ (1 333/1 492),and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 88.9％ (1 333/1 500).The thyroid goiter rate of children was 3.2％ (48/1 500);a total of 1 499 urine samples of children were detected,the urinary iodine median was 169.8 μg/L,it was significantly lower than that in 2011 (216.0 μg/L,Z =-6.813,P ＜ 0.05).A total of 600 urine samples of pregnant women were detected,the urinary iodine median was 161.8 μg/L,it was significantly lower than that in 2011 (168.6 μg/L,Z =-3.590,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion IDD has been controlled after implementation of the new standard of iodized salt and iodine nutrition condition is good.

Objective: To investigate the effect of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure on the level of histone H3Ser10 phosphorylation (p-H3S10) and DNA damage degree in peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBLCs). Method: 75 coke oven workers from Benxi steel plant in Liaoning Province of China (PAHs-exposed group) and local 50 hot rolling workers (control group) were recruited in this study with age, working years, labor intensity and high temperature for matching factors using cluster sampling method in 2014. HPLC-fluorescence was performed to determine the level of urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP), DNA damage and specific histone modification were measured in PBLCs of the subjects through comet assay and ELISA assay, respectively. Linear regression model analysis was used to analyze the differences among PAHs exposure, DNA damage and p-H3S10 level in two groups. The Mediation analysis was used to analyze the regulated relationships between urinary 1-OHP, DNA damage and histone modification through the bootstrap method. Results: Age of the control and the exposed group were (45.32±8.32) and (43.87±5.67) years old (P=0.284). The concentration of urinary 1-OHP, OTM value, Tail DNA% and p-H3S10 level in exposure group were higher than that in control group, while the M (P₅-P₉₅) of p-H3S10 levels in control and exposed group were 2.21 (0.68-4.71), 4.54 (1.85-23.91) (P<0.001). The degree p-H3S10 level was increased after the subgroups which were (2.59±1.19)%, (3.24±2.81)%, (5.55±3.25)%, (8.77±7.84)%, respectively, divided by quantitated 1-OHP concentration as P₀-P₂₅, P₂₆-P₅₀, P₅₁-P₇₅ and P₇₆-P₁₀₀ (P<0.001). We also found the correlations between urinary 1-OHP and p-H3S10 level or OTM value or Tail DNA%, β (95%CI) were 0.264 (0.167-0.360), 0.500 (0.299-0.702), and 0.510 (0.384-0.671), respectively (P<0.001). Similar result was also observed between p-H3S10 level and OTM value or Tail DNA%, β (95%CI) were 0.149 (0.073-0.226) and 0.220 (0.132-0.308) (P<0.001). Moreover, the mediation effect value of DNA damage on PAHs induced p-H3S10 alteration was 0.054(P=0.040). Conclusion The results suggested that PAHs exposure could induce DNA damage and an increase in histone H3Ser10 phosphorylation in PBLCs. Particularly, the alteration of H3S10 phosphorylation may play an important role in regulating cell DNA damage repair.

Objective    To explore the safety and feasibility of the application of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) anatomic segmentectomy in single-stage bilateral thoracic surgery for the treatment of bilateral localized bronchiectasis. Methods    From June 2014 to June 2018, 19 patients with bilateral localized bronchiectasis underwent single-stage bilateral thoracic surgery with VATS anatomic segmentectomy, including 11 males and 8 females aged 38.0±12.5 years. The clinical efficacy of the surgery was evaluated. Results    All surgeries were successfully completed, of which 17 were bilateral VATS, 2 were unilateral VATS with the other lateral converted to thoracotomy. The average number of bilateral resected segments was 4-8 (5.9±1.2). Mean operation time was 330.0±40.0 min and mean blood loss was 150.0±60.0 mL. Mean ventilator-assisted breathing time was 6.0±1.8 h, mean duration of chest-tube placement was 4.0±1.0 d and mean hospital stay time was 14.0±1.5 d. Three patients suffered pulmonary infection and 1 patient received tracheotomy. No perioperative death occurred. Arterial oxygen pressures on postoperative day (POD) 1 (F=340.18, P<0.05) and POD 3 (F=131.26, P<0.05) were significantly lower than that before operation, arterial carbon dioxide pressures on POD 1 (F=46.62, P<0.05) and POD 3 (F=48.21, P<0.05) were significantly higher than that before operation, and pulse oximeter saturation on POD 1 was significantly lower than that before operation (F=210.82, P<0.05). The patients were followed up for one to five years without recurrence. Conclusion    Application of VATS anatomic segmentectomy in single-stage bilateral thoracic surgery for the treatment of bilateral localized bronchiectasis is safe and feasible with strictly selected patients. Postoperative airway management is very important. The surgery is worthy of wide clinical practice.
