OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of microRNA-205 (miRNA-205) on proliferation of laryngeal carcinoma cell line Hep-2. METHOD: The expressions of miRNA-205 in 27 cases laryngeal carcinoma tissues and adjacent normal tissues were detected by Real-time quantitative PCR, the expression of PTEN protein was detected by Western blot. The expressions of PTEN were detected by Western blot after miRNA-205 inhibitor or miRNA-205 mimics was transfected into Hep-2 cells and Hep-2 cells proliferation was measured by CCK-8 kit. RESULT: The expression level of miRNA-205 was significantly higher in laryngeal carcinoma tissues than in adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.01), and the expression of PTEN protein was lower in laryngeal carcinoma tissues than in adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.01). The proliferation rate of Hep-2 cells was decreased significantly and the expression of PTEN protein in Hep-2 cells was increased significantly after miRNA-205 inhibitor was transfected into (P < 0.01), and the proliferation rate of Hep-2 cells was increased significantly and the expression of PTEN protein in Hep-2 cells was decreased significantly after miRNA-205 mimics was transfected into (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION miRNA-205 might promote the proliferation of Hep-2 cells by regulating the expression of PTEN.

Pharyngeal foreign body is a common disease. The diagnosis and treatment are easy. However, in a few cases, pharyngeal foreign bodies migrated to other part of body, which often causing missed diagnosis or misdiagnose to delaythe treatment, and even lead to fatal complications. Here we present a case report of a 52-year-old female patient.who was found to have cervical mass 20 days before. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showd a foreign body and foreign body granuloma on the left side of the neck. To look back on the history, the patient swallowed a fish bone in mistake one month ago.

Objective To analyze the differences of time-effect and pathologic feature in the course of development of liver fibrosis between the two kinds of hepatic fibrotic animal models, which were made by CCl 4 and pig serum (PS) methods.Methods Rat models of liver fibrosis were made by using CCl 4 and PS ten week methods.At 6,10,14 and 20 weeks of model making respectively,pathological features of liver fibrosis were observed and analyzed by Masson staining and computerized image analyzing system.Results In CCl 4-induced model,fibrotic pseudolobuli developed at 6 weeks during model making, became typical at 10 weeks, and got stable thereafter.Ballooning degeneration of liver cells was outstanding,and paralleled with model making course.In PS-induced model, fibrosis occurred at 10 weeks during model making, and still developed though the model making was stopped,but ballooning degeneration of liver cells was not presented.Conclusions There was some different in time-effect relation and pathologic feature of liver fibrosis between the two methods of model making. This indicated that different mechanisms were involved in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis. The two methods of model making should be combined to study of liver fibrosis.The prophylactic and treatment by anti-fibrotic drugs should last no less than 14 weeks.

Objective:To study the changes of endothelin-1(ET-1) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in Kawasaki disease (KD) and to probe the relationship between the changes of ET-1, MDA and coronary artery pathological changes. Methods: KD group included 42 patients ( male 25, female 17), with a mean age of (3.25?0.75) years old; control group included 30 normal children (male 19, female 11), with a mean age of (3.58?0.55) years old. Serum contents of ET-1 and MDA were measured by radioimmunology and modified thiabarbituricaid(TBA) method in 2 groups, and the inner diameters of coronary artery and aorta were measured by color echocardiography. KD group was subdivided into dilated-coronary artery group and undilated group for comparison.Results: Serum contents of ET-1 and MDA in KD group were apparently higher than those in control group (-[76.63?18.36-] vs -[41.55?16.68-] pg/ml and -[3.18?0.60-] vs -[1.52?0.24-] ?mol/L,respectively;P

OBJECTIVE To investigate the reasons and preventive measures of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury during operation in patients with benign thyroid neoplasm. METHODS The clinical data of 2243 cases with benign thyroid neoplasm were reviewed. The relations among different neoplasm regions, different procedures and injury of recurrent laryngeal nerve were analyzed. RESULTS Injury incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve in this study was 3.0 %. In cases with nodular goiter on the dorsum of thyroid and recurrent laryngeal nerve exposed during operation, injury incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve was 1.0 %. And there was no recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in cases with nodular goiter on other region of the thyroid. In cases used locality protection during operation, injury incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve was 7.6 % when benign lesions on the dorsum of thyroid and was 0.17 % when benign lesions on other region of the thyroid. CONCLUSION In cases with nodular goiter or adenoma on the dorsum of thyroid, exposing recurrent laryngeal nerve is necessary during operation and in cases with benign lesions on other region of thyroid, locality protection is useful. There are three major routes for recurrent laryngeal nerve exposure.

The manuscript introduced the overview, training objectives, policy advantages, training process,curriculum, examination of the Australian College in Rural and Remote Medicine and further contrasted that with China's domestics.The authors held that Australia's training is better targeted due to its colleges tailored to this end;the training duration for general practitioners of rural and remote areas is longer,and the training schedule is reasonable;the curriculum design and training content are more targeted;and the homogeneous training is better achieved as its examination is run by the college in a standardized manner.The authors therefore hold that China should develop detailed regulations for general practitioners from rural and remote areas and explore the feasibility of setting up second-level disciplines institutes for internal medicine, surgery, gynecology and obstetrics, pediatrics and general at national and provincial level.

The pathological changes of skeletal muscle dysfunction in chronic heart failure (CHF) have caused widespread concern, and evaluating the functional properties of medication to improve these pathological changes has become a common area of study for clinicians.

Objective Previous study found that ifbroblast growth factor-2(FGF2) expression was at a low level in bone marrow of children with aplastic anemia. In this study, we established a bone marrow failure animal model to investigate whether FGF2 is involved in bone marrow failure. Methods BALB/c mice were irradiated by 5.0 Gy ray, and then infused with 1×106 lymphocytes from allogeneic mice lymph node. Peripheral blood cells and bone marrow mononuclear cells counting and bone marrow pathology were done. FGF2 protein in bone marrow mononuclear cells was measured by ELISA. Results Compared with the control group, the counting of hemoglobin, white blood cell, platelet and bone marrow mononuclear cell in aplastic anemia mouse model were signiifcantly deceased (P<0.05). Moreover, FGF2 expression in aplastic anemia mouse model were signiifcantly reduced (P<0.05). Conclusions 5.0 Gy ray irradiation and then 1×106 lymphocyte infusion in mice can induce bone marrow failure similar to the features of aplastic anemia. The low expression of FGF2 in bone marrow of aplastic anemia patients may play an important role in the pathogenesis of aplastic anemia.

Objective To analyze slowly the digestibility and postprandial glycemic response after consum of different cereal starch. Method Starch was quantified into different nutritional fractions using the in vitro Englyst test. Ten healthy subjects consumed 7 kinds of carbohydrate foods with 50 g normal maize starch, waxy maize starch, wheat starch, sticky rice starch, rice starch, potato starch or glucose. Blood samples from postprandial zero to 120 min after consumption of test materials were collected for measurement of glucose, glycemic index and extended glycemic index. Results Native cereal starch was ideal slowly digestible starch (SDS) and the proportion of SDS was about 50% based on Englyst test. The GI value of cereal starch was more than 90% and belonged to high glycemic index foods, but EGI was positive, regarding glucose powder as 100%. Conclusion Cereal starch with slow digestibility and similar glycemic response was a better carbohydrate material to provide a slow and prolonged release of blood glucose and maintenance of glucose homeostasis, which was potentially beneficial to health.
