Aberrant microRNA(miRNA) expression has been found in most of human cancers.miRNA-related regulation pathways,including the interaction between miRNA and protein-coding gene and the interaction between miRNA and IncRNA,have been shown correlated with the initiation and progression of human cancers.miRNA might be a therapeutic target in the treatment of malignancies.

It is generally known that postoperative pain can cause many adverse clinical effects on the patients of orthopaedic surgery such as lack of exercises of the involved limb,atrophy of the related muscles,anchylosis,osteoparosis,et al,which will ultimately affect the patient's final recovery and living quality.This paper introduces some recent advanced theories about the orthopaedic postoperative pain diagnosis,evaluation and various kinds of treatments hoping to achieve more effective perioperative analgesia in orthopaedic surgery.

Experiments were carried on cultured neonatal myocardial cells of rat to study the effects of angiotensin Ⅰ(AngⅠ) and Ⅱ (AngⅡ) on the synthesis of DNA, RNA, protein and on the cardiac hypertrophy. It was shown that the incorporation of both ~3H-TdR and ~(14)C-uR increased over a set of time periods after addition of AngⅠ and AngⅡ to the medium. The mean protein content of the single myocardial cell was also enhanced, and the volume of myocardial cell was increased significantly after a continuous stimulation of AngⅠ and AngⅡ for 7 days. No stimulation effect was observed either in the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein or in the volume of myocardial cells after addition of AngⅠ together with the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor(ACEI, captopril). These results indicated that: (1). AngⅠ acts as a regulator by its indirect stimulation effect on the synthesis of DNA, RNA and protein of myocardial cells, since it must be changed into AngⅡ by the ACE present in myocardial cells. The ACE can be inhibited by the ACEI: (2) The hypertrophy of cultured neonatal myocardial cells may induced by a continuous stimulation of AngⅠ and AngⅡ.

Objective:To discuss the effect of AngⅡ on insulin gene expression IN RIN-m cells and its molecular mechanism. Methods:RIN-m cells were cultured and divided into three groups, including the control group, 100 nmol·L-1 AngⅡ group and losartan pretreatment group. After 24-hour incubation, insulin gene expression in RIN-m cells was detected by RT-PCR, the mean flu-orescent intensity of 2', 7'-dichlorofluorescein ( DCF) was detected by flow cytometry, PDX-1 and MafA mRNA expression were detec-ted by RT-PCR and the protein expression was detected by Western-blot. Results: Insulin expression in RIN-m cells, cellular ROS level, PDX-1 expression and MafA expression in 100 nmol · L-1 AngⅡ group were significantly different from those in the control group and losartan pretreatment group (P<0. 05). The later two groups had no significant differentces in those indices (P>0. 05). Conclusion:AngⅡ can down-regulate PDX-1 and MafA expression inβ-cells through oxidative stress pathway, and then inhibit insu-lin gene expression. Pretreatment with losartan can antagonize the effect of AngⅡ, and has protective effect onβ-cells in the aspect of insulin gene expression.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the timely and accurate judgment of drug fever induced by Piperacillin sodi-um and tazobactam sodium for injection and rational drug use in the clinic. METHODS:The medication,clinical manifestations, laboratory examination results and the physician treatment of 30 inpatients with drug fever induced by Piperacillin sodium and tazo-bactam sodium for injection from Sept. 2013 to Sept. 2014 were analyzed retrospectively and statistically. RESULTS:Most of the drug fever induced by Piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium for injection occurred in continuous 7 to 14 d medication,and the cumulative dosages were between 1.3 to 2.7 g/kg;73.3% of the 30 patients had fever during the intravenous drip,with body temperature mainly≥38.5 ℃;the elevation of eosinophil and slightly increase of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood cell sedimentation rate (ESR) could be used as observation indexes of drug fever,but the leucocyte reduce could’t be suitable;the body temperature dropped to normal within 24 to 48 hours after stopped using it. CONCLUSIONS:The drug fever induced by Piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium for injection has no correlation with the patients’gender or age,and no special diagnos-tic criteria. But it has certain correlation with duration of medication,cumulative days and dosages and it can be used as reference of judgment with the combination of hematological examination index. Clinicians should improve the understanding and attention about drug fever to stop using suspicious drug in time.

Objective To study the influence of siRNA targeting survivin on chemotherapy sensitivity of HCC cells.Methods siRNA eukaryotic expression vector was generated.After the vector stablely transfected into HepG2 cells,the effects of chemotherapy drugs on HCC cells were observed.Results The recombinant plasmid Psilence(+)-survivin was successfully constructed.Survivin mRNA expression inhibition ratio reached 73% detected by RT-PCR.MTT methods detected that siRNA treated HCC cells were affected by MCC,the survival rate of HepG2,HepG2/Silence(-) cells was inhibited only at 48 h(0.505?0.015) compared to control groups untreated with MCC(0.824?0.322)(P

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum surfactant protein-A (SP-A) and -D (SP-D) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated with interstitial lung disease.(SLE-ILD) and its clinical significance.Methods Serum SP-A and SP-D levels of SLE patients and controis were assessed using a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The relationship between SP-A and SP-D and SLE-ILD,the correlation between SP-A and SP-D with age,disease activity index,pulmonary function test and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) score were analyzed.Results The level of serum SP-A and SP-D in patients with SLE is higher than that in healthy controls(P＜0.05).The level of serum SP-A and SP-D in patients with SLE complicated with ILD was higher than that in patients without ILD and healthy controls (P＜0.05).The level of serum SP-D in patients with SLE-ILD was correlated positively with HRCT score (r=0.508,P=0.004) and interstitial score (r=0.468,P=0.009),and it correlated inversely with vital capacity (%VC) (r=-0.590,P=0.001 ) and diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (%DLCO)(r=-0.588,P=0.001 ).There was no correlation between the level of serum SP-A with SLE-ILD and HRCT score,%VC and %DLCO.The level of serum SP-D in patients with SLE-ILD correlated positively with serum IgG (r=0.376,P=0.040),and the level of serum SP-A in patients with SLE-ILD correlated positively with serum C reactive protein (CRP)(r=0.403,P=0.027).There was a positive correlation between the level of serum SP-D in patients with SLE and age (r=0.352,P=O.001 ).Conclusion The levels of serum SP-A and SP-D may be useful markers for ILD in patients with SLE.There is correlation between the level of serum SPD and HRCT score,pulmonary function test,and it is positively correlated with age and disease activity index.

MircoRNAs (miRNAs) are widely existing inorganisms, non-coding small RNA. MircoR-NAs play important role in cell proliferation, apoptosis, stress resistance and fat metabolism. In vitro studies indicate that miRNAs are important factors in platinum resistance of ovarian cancer cell lines. However, the pathway of platinum resistance of ovarian cancers is complex. Studies find miRNA expression play important roles in the sensitivity of platinum resistance of ovarian cancer cell lines , and can be used as an early alert for platinum resistance. Changing the expression of miRNA even can reverse the platinum resistance . But the regular role of miRNAs in target genes network is still unconfirmed. Thus, more studies about miRNA in vivo and animal tumor models are needed to identify the function of miRNAs in platinum resistance of ovarian cancer.

Ezrin protein plays an important role in morphogenesis,motility,adhesion.Moreover,Ezrin protein participates in multiple steps of the process of tumor invasion and metastasis.In the progress of tumor metastasis,Ezrin protein is related to several signaling pathways such as Rho mediated signaling pathways,hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) pathways,Fas mediated cell apoptosis signaling pathways,phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt pathways,and in which it plays different regulatory role.
