Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China, and its pathogenesis is complex. At present, there is no good method for the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer. However, studies have shown that microRNA (miRNA) has abnormal expression in gastric cancer, which participates in the regulation of gastric cancer related genes, and has an impact on the occurrence, development, diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer. This paper aims to review the relationship between miRNA and the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer, as well as the drug resistance in the treatment, so as to lay the foundation for the follow-up research and clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To evaluate the role of two-dimensional ultrasound combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the classification of liver nodules in cirrhotic patients.Methods Consecutively cirrhotic patients with intrahepatic nodules at Xixi Hospital of Hangzhou were included from November 2015 to December 2016.All (142 nodules in 109 patiens) presented as non-cancerous focal lesions on conventional magnetic resonance imaging and CT examination and had available information of liver biopsy.Each lesion was percutaneous biopsied under the guidance of two-dimensional ultrasound.Ultrasonographic parameters evaluated were as following:(1) sizes of nodules under US;(2) ultrasonographic characteristics of the nodular;(3) CEUS enhancement features of the nodules.Four types of hepatic nodule suggesting different histology were defined according to the ultrasonographicparameters.x2 test was used to compare the difference of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence among liver nodules with varying sizes and nodules with different enhancement features under CEUS.As for the statistical differences of HCC and high-grade dysplastic nodule (HGDN) incidence between type Ⅲ & Ⅳ nodules and type Ⅰ & Ⅱ nodules,x2 test was also used for analysis.Results A total of 142 eligible nodules were detected in 109 patients with cirrhosis,including 16 HCCs,2 intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinomas (ICC),41 HGDNs,40 low-grade dysplastic nodules (LGDN) and 43 regenerative nodules (RN).In terms of diameter,all (6/6) the nodules larger than 2.0 cm,20.0％ (8/40) of middle size nodules (1.5-2.0 cm),were HCCs.The remained 2 lesions of HCC came from two subgroups with even small size nodules [1.0-1.4 cm (n=93),and ＜ 1.0 cm (n=3),in diameter],respectively.Two lesions of ICC were attributed to nodules with a 1.0-1.4 cm diameter.About 28 nodules with a diameter of 1.5-2.0 cm,13 nodules with a diameter of 1.0-1.4 cm were HGDN.HCC incidences between these 4 groups were different significantly (x2=61.425,P ＜ 0.001).Asfor the CEUS,14 nodules exhibited a rapid enhancement feature in arterial phase,12 of which were HCC.In56 nodules with a slow enhancement feature,4 nodules were HCC.HCC incidences between these 3 groups were different significantly (x2=75.752,P ＜ 0.001).Under the combined ultrasonography,HCC incidences of type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ nodules were significantly higher than that of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ lesions [21.9％ (16/73)vs 0 (0/65),x2=15.222,P ＜ 0.001],similar result was observed in the comparison of HGDN incidences between type Ⅲ & Ⅳ and type Ⅰ & Ⅱ nodules[53.4％ (39/73) vs 3.1％ (2/65),x2=38.842,P ＜ 0.001].Conclusion The classification presented by this study,combining the three ultrasonographic parameters,which is nodule size,nodular echo characteristics and enhancement features of the nodules under CEUS,could be helpful for the diagnosis of HCC in cirrhotic patients with ill-defined nodule on routine image examination.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of attention during visual search tasks in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods:Totally 45 adult patients with ADHD who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) and 44 healthy controls matched with age,gender and IQ were selected.The reaction time and accuracy rate of two groups were compared under visual search tasks of low and high visual working memory load.Results:The reaction time was longer in patients with ADHD than in the healthy controls in both low-load task [(823 ± 144) ms vs.(754 ± 123) ms,P ＜ 0.01] and highload task [(912 ± 163) ms vs.(851 ± 162) ms,P ＜ 0.01].Compared with the performance in low load task,the search reaction time was longer in high load task [ADHD group:(823 ± 144) ms vs.(912 ± 163) ms,P ＜ 0.01;control group:(754 ± 123) ms vs.(851 ± 162) ms,P ＜0.01] and the accuracy rate was lower during high load task than low load task[ADHD group:(95.9 ±4.3)％ vs.(91.2 ± 14.29)％;control group:(95.8 ± 4.2)％ vs.(94.4 ±4.9) ％,P ＜ 0.01] in both ADHD and control groups.Conclusion:The results suggest impairment in top-down attentional control in ADHD adults.When the visual working memory load is increasing,ADHD patients allocate more working memory resources on storing the target representation and less resources on visual attention,so the search efficiency may be influenced.

Objective:To investigate the difference of lymphocyte subsets between elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis and non-elderly patients and its clinical significance.Methods:A total of 124 patients with rheumatoid arthritis in Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from January, 2017 to December, 2019 were enrolled.The patients were divided into elderly group(≥60 years old, 34 cases)and non-elderly group(<60 years old, 90 cases). Rheumatoid arthritis activity(DAS-28)scoring was performed for each patient.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)were extracted by Ficoll density centrifugation.Lymphocytes were labeled and detected by 18-color flowcytometry with more than 30 fluorescent antibodies.Results:DAS-28 scoring showed that the disease activity score of the elderly group(4.56±1.89)was higher than that of the non-elderly group(3.37±1.49)( t=3.633, P<0.001). Flow cytometry showed that MAIL%T(mucus-associated lymphoid tissue T cell subset)( Z=-2.798, P=0.005), Tn%CD8 T cells(initial CD8 T cells)( Z=-2.179, P=0.029), VD2% T(Vδ2+ T, γδT cell subtype)( Z=-2.806, P=0.005), PD1-CD28-%Th( Z=-2.050, P=0.040)and IGM+ D-%B( Z=-2.376, P=0.017)were lower in the elderly group than in the non-elderly group.While, CD45+ CD27+ %CD8 T cells( Z=-3.069, P=0.002), abT%T cell(αβT cells)( Z=-2.103, P=0.035), CD27-CD28+ %T cells( Z=-2.341, P=0.019), ASC%PBMC( Z=-2.341, P=0.019)and ASC%CD19+ ( Z=-2.000, P=0.046)subgroup expression were higher in the elderly group than in the non-elderly group. Conclusions:The disease activity of elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis is significantly higher than that of younger patients.The expressions of abT%T and CD4% abT in effector T cells of elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis are higher than those of younger patients, while the expression of VD2% T is lower.The expression level of CD45RA+ CD27+ %CD8 T with cytotoxic effect is higher; However, the expression level of Tn%CD8 T in naive cells is lower.

Objective:To explore the effects of group counseling combined with staged health education on knowledge-attitude-practice and psychological condition in family members of leukemia children.Methods:From January 2017 to October 2018, we selected a total of 200 family members of leukemia children in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University as subjects. All of them were divided into observation group and control group according to admission time, 100 cases in each group. Control group provided staged health education for children's family members, while observation group carried out staged health education combined with group counseling. The knowledge-attitude-practice, psychological condition and satisfaction with health education of family members of two groups were evaluated with the Leukemia Knowledge-Attitude-Practice Questionnaire, Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) , Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and the Satisfaction Questionnaire.Results:The scores of leukemia knowledge and practice of observation group were higher than those of control group with statistical differences ( P<0.01) ; the master rate of knowledge-attitude-practice of observation group was higher than that of control group with a statistical difference ( P<0.01) . After intervention, the scores of HAMA and HAMD of family members between two groups all decreased, and the decline range of observation group was higher than that of control group with a statistical difference ( P<0.01) . The satisfaction with health education of observation group and control group was 98.00% and 86.00% with a statistical difference ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Counseling combined with staged health education can improve knowledge-attitude-practice, anxiety, depression as well as health education satisfaction of family members of leukemia children.

Objective To analyze miR-92a expression and its clinical significance in the plasma of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.Methods Plasma samples from 44 SLE patients,16 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and 20 healthy controls were collected.The small RNAs in these plasma samples were isolated and reversely transcribed.Using cel-miR-39 as the external reference,the levels of miR-92a expression were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method.MiR-92a and cel-miR-39 were analyzed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis.The sensitivity and specificity of miR-92a as SLE were analyzed by receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve.The correlation between the levels of miR-92a expression and the clinic pathological features of SLE and biological significance of miR-92a expression in SLE were further analyzed by Pearson or Chi-square test.Results Our data indicated that the plasma levels of miR-92a expression was 49.20 (5.33,95.17) in SLE patients,411.30 (320.84,504.69) in healthy controls,and 25.59(11.20,30.54) in RA patients.The difference was significant (x2=40.77,P＜0.01).The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.958 for discriminating between SLE patients and normal subjects and 1.00 for discriminating between RA patients and healthy controls.The levels of miR92a expression cutoff values were set the as 198.59 for healthy control and 85.35 for RA patients,the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 93.2％,90％,and 100％,100％,res-pectively.The analysis of the correlation between miR-92a expression and the clinic pathological features of SLE had shown that the levels of plasma miR-92a expressions were much lower in SLE patients with down-regulated complement C3,and up-regulated urea nitrogen,creatinine,LDH,ATH (all P＜0 05).Conclusion Down-regulated miR-92a expression in plasma of SLE may be involved in the SLE disease occurrence or development and could be used as a novel potential diagnostic biomarker for SLE.

Objective To investigate the changes of microstructure and blood perfusion of thalamus and basal ganglia in patients with untreated depressive disorder using diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and three-dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D ASL) perfusion imaging.Methods Totally 21 untreated patients with depressive disorder (disease group) and 32 healthy volunteers (control group) underwent DKI,3D ASL and routine MR scanning were enrolled.DKI parameters (mean kurtosis [MK],axial kurtosis [Ka],radial kurtosis [Kr],fractional anisotropy [FA],mean diffusivity [MD],axial diffusivity [Da] and radial diffusivity [Dr]) and 3D ASL parameters (cerebral blood flow [CBF]) of bilateral heads of caudate nucleus,thalamus and putamens were measured and compared between the 2 groups.Results Compared with control group,Ka of left caudate head in disease group was significantly higher,while Kr was significantly lower (both P＜ 0.05).Ka of right putamens in disease group was significantly higher than that in control group (P＜0.05).Compared with control group,CBF of left caudate head and bilateral putamens decreased significantly in disease group (all P＜0.05).Conclusion Untreated depressed patients show abnormal DKI parameters and blood perfusion in basal ganglia,which indicating that microstructure integrity is impaired and blood perfusion decreases.The abnormalities in basal ganglia microstructure and blood perfusion may serve as one of the neuroimaging features of depressive disorders.

Objective:To compare the safety and short-term efficacy of percutaneous thermal ablation for liver cancer at hepatic dome guided by ultrasound with assisted technologies or computed tomography.Methods:Patients who underwent thermal ablation of liver cancer at hepatic dome from January 2016 to October 2019 in the Xixi Hospital affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University were studied. Using the different guidance methods, the patients were divided into the ultrasound guidance combined with assisted technologies group (the ultrasound guided group) and the CT guided group. Assisted technologies included contrast-enhanced ultrasound, fusion imaging and artificial ascites. The complications during and within one week of ablation were recorded to compare the safety between the two guidance methods. One month after ablation, contrast-enhanced CT or contrast-enhanced MRI was performed to evaluate the short-term efficacy.Results:Of 52 patients who were included in the study, 39 had no previous treatment while 13 had recurrent liver cancer (7 underwent previous surgical resection and 6 thermal ablation). There were 41 males and 11 females, age ranged from 38.0 to 76.0 (57.3±10.0) years. The tumor size was 12.0 to 46.0 (30.7±8.8) mm. Of the 34 patients in the ultrasound guided group, the age ranged from 38.0 to 73.0 (56.6±10.2) years, and the tumor size ranged from 17.0 to 46.0 (30.6±8.7) mm. Of the 18 patients in the CT guided group, the age ranged from 39.0 to 76.0 (58.1±9.8) years, and the tumor size ranged from 12.0 to 45.0 (30.9±9.2) mm. There were no significant differences in age and tumor size between the two groups ( P>0.05). During and within one week of ablation, 3 patients developed hydrothorax in the ultrasound guided group and 8 patients developed hydrothorax, and 7 patients pneumothorax in the CT guided group. The difference between the two groups was significant ( P<0.05). All complications were successfully treated with conservative treatment. One month after ablation, the complete ablation rate was 91.2% (31/34) in the ultrasound guided group and 88.9% (16/18) in the CT guided group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The two methods of guidance resulted in similar short-term efficacy after thermal ablation for liver cancer at hepatic dome. Compared with computed tomography guidance, ultrasound guidance with assisted technologies significantly reduced the incidence of thoracic complication rates.
