MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) are a contemporary class of short non-coding RNAs,which play a critical role in diverse biological processes, including development, cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis,by suppressing translation of protein coding genes, or cleaving target mRNAs of protein coding genes to induce their degradation. Accordingly, altered miRNA expression is likely to contribute to human disease, including cancer. This review will summarize the emerging knowledge of the association between human miRNA biology and different aspects of carcinogenesis, such as the development, metastesis and therapy strategies.

In order to develop a technique which provides not only a route for continuous intravenous administration of drugs,but easy access for TPN support in unrestrained rats as well,we designed a fluid infusion swivel system with implanting and maintaining venous catheter in the superior vena cava of rats,and administered a long- term intravenous infusion in unrestrained rats. The results showed that the average period for which infusion was carried out was 1 0 days,and the infusion was maintained for up to 3week in some of rats.All animals appeared to tolerate infusion catheter without obvious discomfort and minimal restriction of their motion.Kinking and leakage did not occur anymore.We conclude thatthis technique can be readily utilized and has great potential value for studying problems related to surgical nutrition and metabolism.

As an important link of practice teaching, the Fermentation Engineering and Equipment Course Design can play the connecting role between the preceding and the following in the practice teaching, and lay a good foundation for the students to work in the factory after graduation. The article shall exchange and discuss the teaching links, such as the status, opinion, contents and way of the course design.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the effective integration of standardization strategy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and intellectual property. METHODS:Through analyzing the conflict between standardization requirement of TCM and intellectual property system,the coordination between TCM standards and intellectual property especially the trade secret rights was explored. RESULTS:The information disclosure of TCM standards and intellectual property strategy especially protec-tion of TCM trade secrets faced confrontation and conflict in system and design. For the suggestions to solve it,one is to reconfirm the role and positioning of the government on the adaption of standardization in public law field;another is to establish coordina-tion principle of information disclosure and confidentiality in private law field,and achieve difference open and moderate open of information. CONCLUSIONS:The TCM standardization is not absolute,the pros and cons is the precondition to solve the conflict between the standardization strategy and trade secret system in TCM in terms of protection of information freedom and secret infor-mation.

Chinese genuine regional herbs are a combination of nature resource and traditional knowledge. Although we can make it to be an intellectual property product through applying geographical indication or certification mark, the value realization of Chinese genuine regional herbs should be supported by the merchant capital. Meanwhile, the merchant capital also disturbs the reasonable market price of Chinese genuine regional herbs. We should combine the merchant capital with Chinese genuine regional herbs, apply permission for sale and set up a new professional cooperation mode to maintain the market credibility and reasonable price of Chinese genuine regional herbs.

Medical tourism has grown into a booming market worldwide,which however remains at a startup stage in China given its fast development in recent years.This paper probed into the present status of medical tourism at home and abroad,discussed key roadblocks to tackle for medical tourism,including government regulations,medical resources,international certification,promotions and marketing,language barriers,and visa.On such basis,the authors come up with the following recommendations:enhance policy support and complete the governance of medical tourism; tap resources of public hospitals and encourage private involvement; encourage international certification of medical institutions to explore overseas medical tourism; encourage tourist firms to develop medical tourim products and promoting medical tourism; build brands and complete product lines.

To investigate the role of rehabilitation therapy both on nutritional status and intestinal adaptation of patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS). Methods The literatures about rehabilitation therapy for SBS were reviewed. Results Intestinal rehabilitation refers to the process of restoring enteral autonomy, in order to get rid of parenteral nutrition, usually by means of dietary, medical, and surgical treatment. Recent researches showed that medication and the use of specific nutrients and growth factors could stimulate intestinal absorption and might be useful in the medical management of SBS. Conclusion Intestinal rehabilitation is of benefit in the treatment of SBS and would play a greater role in the future.

Objective To review the biologic characteristics and biologic effect of cholecystokinine (CCK) on the central nervous system. Methods The literatures of recent years on research advancement of cholecystokinine as neurotransmitters/peptides in signal transduction, neuron protection and pain management in the central nervous system are reviewed. Results CCK possesses the ability to suppress the convulsant effects of convulsants. CCK8 is able to reduce the neural damage caused and delay the neural aging. CCK antagonists play an important role in human pain transduction. Conclusion CCK has been proven to be one of the richest neurotransmitters/neuropeptides as well as an important signal factor in the brain, and its important biologic effect is being confirmed.

High intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU) technique for hyperthermia has been used widely due to its minimal invasion, high precision, less side-effects and low complication. It has been used in the treatment for prostate cancer, liver cancer, primary malignant osteosarcoma and breast cancer, et al. This paper mainly introduces the clinical application and development of HIFU.

Objective To study the effects and mechanisms of major immune nutrients and to introduce the progresses of clinical applications about enteral immunonutrition.Methods The related literatures about the effects and clinical applications of enteral immunonutrition were reviewed.Results Infection rate can be reduced and the hospitalization can be shortened as a result of the improved nutritional status and immune competence of patients which can be enhanced by reasonable enteral immune nutrition.Most of the patients suffering from serious diseases can benefit from enteral immunonutrition,such as gastrointestinal cancers,post-transplantation complications,chronic liver disorders,acute pancreatitis and so on.However,as a new nutrition therapy,the clinical use of enteral immunonutrition in critically ill patients is still controversial.Conclusions Enteral immunonutrition plays an important role in the nutritional support of patients with serious diseases,such as gastrointestinal cancers,organ failures.However,much work remains to be done.
