Objective To explore the role of growth factor receptor-bound 2 (GRB2) in homo sapiens eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 2 (EEF1A2) promoting the carcinogenesis and development of pancreatic cancer.Methods The human pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990 with low expression of EEF1A2,was transfected by Ad5/F35-EEF1A2 plasmid.The expression of EEF1A2 in human pancreatic cancer cell lines BxPC-3 cells with high expression of EEF1A2,was down-regulated by small interfering RNA (siRNA) interference.The expressions of GRB2 in SW1990 and BxPC-3 cells were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot before and after interference.The pancreatic cancer BxPC-3 cells were interfered by specific and efficient chemical synthesized siRNA fragment.The changes of BxPC-3 cell proliferation and migration were observed by methyl thiazoly tetrazolium (MTT) and Transwell assay before and after interference.The data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance.Results After human pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990 was transfected with Ad5/F35-EEF1A2 plasmid,the expression of GRB2 at mRNA and protein level both increased significantly (F=5.67,6.39,both P＜0.05).After the expression of EEF1A2 was inhibited by EEF1A2-siRNA,the expression of GRB2 at mRNA and protein level both decreased significantly (F=6.59,4.69,both P＜0.05).After BxPC-3 cells was transfected with siRNA-GRB2 for 72 hours,the results of MTT assay indicated that the absorbance value was 1.22±0.14,compared with negative control group (1.42±0.15) and blank control group (1.39 ± 0.15) the difference was statistically significant (F =6.63,P＜ 0.05).The results of transwell assay showed that the migration ability of cells in siRNA-GRB2 group decreased.After 24 hours,the number of migrated cells was 24.10±4.25,compared with negative control group (54.72±5.24) and blank control group (51.26 ± 6.23) the difference was statistically significant (F=55.00,P＜ 0.05).Conclusion GRB2 is key molecule in EEF1A2 promoting the progenesis and development of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To investigate the effects of over-expression of homo sapiens eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 2 (EEF1A2) on in vitro invasion and lung metastasis of human pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells.Methods Letivirus-mediated delivery of EEF1A2 was used to enhance the expression of EEF1A2 gene in human pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells,the SW1990 cells stably over-expressing EEF1A2 protein (SW1990/EEF1A2 cells) were obtained,and the parent SW1990 cells and SW1990/GFP cells were used as the control,and the expressions of EEF1 A2 mRNA and protein were determined by Real-time PCR and Western blotting.The invasion ability of cells was determined by Transwell assay.The lung metastasis model was established by injection of SW1990 cells into the tail vein.Whole lung tissues were harvested,and visible nodules on tung surface were counted macroscopically 8 weeks later.Results The EEF1 A2 mRNA expression of SW1990/EEF1A2 was 3.252 ± 0.344,which was significantly higher than those in SW1990/GFP cells (1.000 ±0.060) and SW1990 cells (0.944 ±0.041,t =2.255,2.305,P＜0.01) ; the EEF1A2 protein expression was 0.833 ± 0.050,which was significantly higher than those in SW1990/GFP cells (0.247 ± 0.035) and SW1990 cells (0.273± 0.041,t=0.572,0.559,P＜0.01).The ability of invasion of SW1990/EEF1A2 cells was (60 ±4) cells,which was sigmificantly higher than (33 ±4) cells in SW1990/GFP group and (26 ± 3) cells in SW1990 group (t =31.33,34.78,P ＜ 0.01).Furthernore,SW1990/EEF1 A2 cells had a much higher incidence of lung metastasis in nude mice than SW1990/GFP cells and SW1990 cells in vivo (100％ vs.20％,20％,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions EEF1 A2 over-expression can obviously increase the in vitro invasion and lung metastasis of pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells.

Objective To evaluate the influence of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with Alginate microsphere-Adriamycin on angiogenesis in VX2 liver tumor. Methods Thirty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups (each n=6), and VX2 carcinoma was implanted in the left lobes of the livers. TACE was performed with Alginate microsphere (Group A), Alginate microsphere-Adriamycin (Group B), Lipiodol (Group C), Lipiodol-Adriamycin (Group D), and control group (Group E), respectively. Three weeks later, the animals were killed and the samples were evaluated with immunohistochemical reaction to examine the VEGF expression and MVD count. Results The positive rate of VEGF expression was 66.67%, 50.00%, 100%, 83.33% and 66.67% respectively in five groups (P>0.05). MVD count was 55.36±7.02, 41.27±8.45, 82.42±6.23, 67.81±11.42 and 62.46±7.54 respectively in five groups. MVD value of group C was higher than that of group A and group B (P<0.05); of group B was lower than that of group D (P<0.05). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed a correlation coefficient of 0.726 between VEGF and MVD (P<0.01). Conclusion TACE with Alginate microsphere-Adriamycin can reduce VEGF expression and MVD of VX2 liver tumor in rabbits, but the possibility of tumor blood vessels rapid occlusion and therefore resulting in tumor necrosis can not be ruled out.

Objective To investigate the epidemiology of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) in five rural counties of eastern China and analyze the biological,demographic and social risk factors.Methods Subjects of this study were all the diagnosed TB patients registered in the five study sites in Shandong Province,Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province during one year of 2008- 2009.Questionnaire interview was conducted in all the subjects to acquire the socio-demographic and clinical information.Sputum samples were collected for culturing and isolating of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.TB) strains.All the M.TB isolates were further tested for the susceptibility to first-line drugs including rifampin,isoniazid,ethambutol and strepomycin by proportion method.Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test,Fisher's exact test,ANOVA and nonconditional Logistic regression modeling were applied for data analysis.Results Among the total 380 M.TB isolates,105 were resistant to at least one of the first-line drugs.The total drug resistant TB prevalence was 27.6％.Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) was observed in 8.4％ of newly treated TB patients,whereas it was 23.3％in previously treated TB patients.After adjusted by county,gender and age of the subjects,multivariate analysis showed that previous treatment history (OR=3.900,95％CI: 1.737-8.704),tuberculosis cavity (OR - 1.987,95 ％ CI: 1.001 - 3.942) were independent factors influencing the occurrence of MDR-TB.Conclusions The prevalence of drug resistant TB in rural area of eastern China is relatively low compared with the average level in China,while it is still higher than the global average level.The present study highlights that TB patients with previous treatment history,cavitaryTB are correlated with MDR-TB,and elderly patients are at high risk of MDR-TB.

Objective To compare the outcomes of TOT and TVT procedure treating female intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD).Methods From May 2010 to September 2015,42 stress urinary incontinence (SUI) patients whose abdominal leak point pressure was less than 60 cmH2O were enrolled in this study.Thirty-five patients were followed up.The mean age was (56.8 ±10.5) years,with a range of 30-80 years.The mean history was(10.5 ± 9.1)years,with a range of 4 months to 30 years,with 26 (74.3％) of them being postmenopausal,5 (14.3％) having a history of pelvic surgery,and no pelvic organ prolapsed or hormone replacement.All of them were randomly divided into 2 groups to undergo either TVT operation (13 cases) or TOT operation (22 cases).The baseline characteristics of the two groups including age,length of history,urodynamic parameters and scale scores showed no significant difference.The scales including urinary incontinence severity score (UISS),detrusor instability score (DIS),Quality of Life Scale Evaluation (I-QOL),lower urinary tract symptoms affect score (UDI-6) were used.The outcomes between TVT group and TOT group were compared.Result After procedure,patients in TVT group got a lower UISS score than TOT group(17.2 ± 2.2 vs.17.7 ± 3.1),and their severity of urinary incontinence improved significantly (P ＜ 0.05).Patients from TVT group got a lower DIS score than TOT group (12.6 ± 4.2 vs.14.2 ± 3.5),and their detrusor instability symptoms improved more significantly (P ＜ 0.05).Patients from TVT group got a higher I-QOL score than TOT group(17.5 ± 14.5 vs.16.1 ± 13.0),and their quality of life improved more significantly (P ＜ 0.05).Patients from TVT group got a lower UDI-6 score than TOT group (10.1 ± 3.0 vs.11.2 ± 3.4),and their lower urinary tract symptoms improved more significantly (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Urinary incontinence of female ISD patients were improved greater by TVT than TOT procedure.

Objective:To compare the effects of rotational night shifts on the micturition patterns of fe-male nurses.Methods:A total of 58 nurses without lower urinary tract symptoms were recruited,who worked in the Peking University People’s Hospital during January and June in 2014.The nurses aged 20 -43 years were divided into two groups,the night-shift group (n =28)and the non-shift group (n =30).The alcohol or coffee intaking were forbidden.In the night-shift group,nurses had worked on rota-tional shifts for at least 6 months.Their average age was (26.75 ±4.11)years.In the non-shift group, nurses took regular day-time work,whose average age was (27.80 ±5.60)years.A voiding diary was kept for 7 consecutive days at the end of 6 months,starting 2 days before their night duties until 4 days after completion of their night duties.For comparison,the non-shift group with regular shifts completed a 7-day voiding diary.In the 7-day recording voiding diary,the nurses were required to have the normal in-take of liquid about 1 500 -2 000 mL/d.The frequency volume charts of nocturia,the 8-hour interval urine production and frequency were compared between the two groups.Results:Nocturia frequency was increased in the night-shift group [0.5 (0 -2.4)]compared with the non-shift group [0 (0 -2),P =0.02].The volume of nocturia was increased in the night-shift group [125 mL (0 -660 mL)]compared with the non-shift group [0 mL (0 -340 mL),P <0.01].The 8-hour interval indices showed that urine production changed with shift (P <0.01).In the consecutive 7 days,the nocturnal volume of the night-shift group increased on the day after night shift.When the night-shift nurses returned to daytime duty, the volume of urine decreased but nocturnal urine production remained high,and the frequency of noctu-ria also increased significantly (P <0.05).Compared with the 8-hour interval indices,the night-shift group’s voiding volume [(542.35 ±204.66)mL]and voiding frequency (2.24 ±0.69)were more than those of the non-shift group at the afternoon time (from 2 pm to 10 pm).During the 8 h interval night time (from 10 pm to 6 am),the volume of nocturia in the night-shift group [(309.74 ±162.74) mL]was more than that in the non-shift group [(199.38 ±153.98)mL,P =0.01];the frequency of nocturia in the night-shift group (1.31 ±0.52)was increased than that in the non-shift group (0.82 ± 0.55,P <0.01).Conclusion:The rotational shifts affect the micturition patterns of nurses who go through the night shift work,which increases the volume and frequency of the nocturia.

Objective:To investigate the impact of preoperative urodynamic study on the diagnosis and treatment for female patients with clinical diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence by studying their diag-nosis and treatment database,and to assess its clinical significance of urodynamic study.Methods:From April 2011 to December 2015,196 female patients diagnosed clinically with stress urinary incontinence underwent preoperative urodynamics study,after excluding pelvic organ prolapse.The preoperative uro-dynamic data of these 196 cases were analyzed and the clinical significance of urodynamics on differential diagnosis and treatment for the female patients with stress urinary incontinence was evaluated.Results:In this study,23 cases (11.73%)changed or amended their diagnoses by the urodynamic study,which were inconsistent with the previous clinical diagnoses concluded by the symptoms,physical examinations, and lab tests.A total of 10 cases underwent a different surgery or conservative treatment instead of the original treatment according to urodynamic study.Of them,3 were diagnosed as detrusor overactive and undertook conservative treatment;3 were diagnosed as bladder outlet obstruction plus stress urinary in-continence and were undertaken the transurethral resection of the bladder neck (TURBN)plus tension free vaginal tape (TVT);2 were diagnosed as bladder outlet obstruction plus stress urinary incontinence and were undertaken TURBN alone;1 was diagnosed as bladder outlet obstruction plus stress urinary in-continence and was undertaken TURBN plus tension free vaginal tape obturator (TOT);1 was found no abnormal bladder function turned out to be interstitial cystitis and went for a bladder instillation of drug. The changed treatments avoided the risk of dysuria or residual urine increased after operation due to inap-propriate surgical methods.Conclusion:In order to make a correct diagnosis and suitable treatment for female patients with stress urinary incontinences,the preoperative urodynamic study is necessary besides detailed medical history,physical examination,and laboratory tests.With the help of the urodynamic study,the concomitant diseases of patients with stress urinary incontinence may be detected,the individualized treatment regimen can be developed,and more importantly,the inappropriate surgical de-cision can be avoided.

Objective To discuss the influence about three kinds of nasal feeding methods on ICU critical patients with gastrointestinal complications, thus providing guidance for ICU patients to choose reasonable way of nasal feeding pump injection. Methods 120 ICU patients were randomly assigned into three groups, which is the continuous 6-hour and intermittent 2-hour every three time pump group and continuous 24-hours pump group and intermittent 24-hour(continuous 2-hour and intermittent 1-hour every eight time units)pump group ,each group has 40 cases. To observe the the influence about three different way of nasogastric on ICU critical patients with gastrointestinal complications. Results The incidence of diarrhea and constipation among the three groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05) . The gastric retention rate of the continuous 24-hour pump group was significantly higher than that of the continuous 6-hour and intermittent 2-hour pump group and the intermittent 24-hour pump group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the continuous 6-hour and intermittent 2-hour pump group and the intermittent 24-hour pump group, (P > 0.05). Conclusions The continuous 24-hour pump group in gastric retention was slightly worse than the other two pump way. Compared with ICU class three a week and feeding times , the continuous 6-hour and intermittent 2-hour pump method is more suitable for ICU patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of Xuebijing injectio (Chinese herb preparation) on intestinal function and inflammatory responses in severe burn patients. Method Thirty-two patients with comparable severity in burn injury were randomly divided into Xuebijing injectio treatment group (n = 16) and control group (n = 16). Patients in both groups received routine burn therapy, while those in Xuebijing treatment group additionally received Xuebijing injectio 100mL in intravenous drip twice a day for 7 days. Before the treatment and on the 3rd and the 7th day after the treatment, blood concentrations of diamine oxidase (DAO), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) ,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were determined in both groups. Analysis was made by SPSS 12.0 software. Results The plasma levels of DAO, LPS, TNF-α and IL-6 were decreased in both groups after the treatment. However, the plasma levels of DAO, LPS, TNF-α and IL-6 in the Xuebijing treatment group were significantly lower than those in control group on the 3rd and 7th day after the treatment (P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Xuebijing injectio could protect intestinal function, decrease the plasma level of endotoxin and lessen zhe inflammatory responses in severe burn patients.
