Objective To analyze the expression of long non-coding RNA ( lncRNA) in renal clear cell carcinoma ( RCCC ) , the association of lncRNA with RCCC, as well as the role of lncRNA in the diagnosis and treatment of RCCC.Methods Forty fresh RCCC tissues and their normal adjacent tissues were collected from March 2012 to June 2013, and total RNA was extracted using Trizol reagents, purified and tested by denaturing agarose gel electrophmesis and NanoDrop 1000.Through Arraystar Human LncRNA Microarray, the different expression of lncRNA between RCCC and normal adjacent tissues was screened. RT-qPCR was used to verify the expression of lncRNA in 40 pair RCCC tissues and normal adjacent tissues. The receiver-operating characteristic ( ROC ) curve was adopted to verify the diagnostic efficiency of the selected lncRNA.Results LncRNA expression profile showed 1 787 lncRNA with expression alteration in two fold or above, up-regulated and down-regulated candidate lncRNAs were 941 and 846 respectively. Compared with the adjacent tissues, NR_034095 and NR_038974 were up-regulated in RCCC, and ENST00000571724 and ENST00000566575 were down-regulated, which were consistent with the microarray analysis.By the ROC curves of NR_034095, NR_038974, ENST00000571724 and ENST00000566575 to discriminate the RCCC from normal adjacent tissue, the area under curve was 0.928 ( 95%CI 0.873 -0.984), 0.759 (95%CI 0.647-0.871), 0.833 (95%CI 0.747-0.919) and 0.887 (95%CI 0.815-0.959 ) , respectively.Conclusions NR _ 034095, NR _ 038974, ENST00000571724 and ENST00000566575 are significantly differently expressed in RCCC.The different expressed lncRNA might be closely related to the process of RCCC, and may be used as a new candidate target for molecular diagnosis and gene therapy of RCCC.

BACKGROUND:The technique of vacuum sealing drainage, initialy used for better wound healing, has been widely applied to al kinds of refractory wounds. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research progress in vacuum sealing drainage for treatment of severe soft tissue injury. METHODS: An electronic retrieve was performed in Wanfang database, VIP database and PubMed database from January 1989 to August 2014 was performed for papers regarding the vacuum sealing drainage technology with the key words of “vacuum sealing drainage technology; injury; gentamicin; hyperbaric oxygen; nerve growth factor; chymotrypsin” in Chinese or English. Finaly 48 articles were involved in the final analysis according to the inclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Vacuum sealing drainage is a highly effective treatment technique to promote wound healing which can promote wound blood circulation, reduce sweling, inhibit bacterial growth, stimulate growth of granulation tissue by mechanical stress, inhibit cel apoptosis, thereby helping wound healing. Compared to conventional open-dressings, vacuum sealing drainage has a faster wound healing speed, lower infection rate, and fewer dressing change frequency. With recent advances in medicine, vacuum sealing drainagetechnology cannot be simply used for treatment of skin soft tissue damage, but in combination with gentamicin, hyperbaric oxygen, nerve growth factor and chymotrypsin to achieve better therapeutic effects.

Objective To investigate the clinical applications of coronary CT angiography in patients with suspected coronary artery disease and identify factors that affect CT findings. Methods Medical records of patients suspected of coronary artery disease over a period of 12 months from a tertiary teaching hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Patient age, sex (male/female), duration of symptoms and abnormal rates of coronary CT angiography scans were analysed to investigate the relationship among these parameters. The patients by age were duration of symptoms was also classified into five groups: less than one week, one week to one month, one to three months, three to six months and more than six months. Results Of the 880 patient records reviewed, 800 met the above study criteria. Five hundred and forty nine patients demonstrated abnormal CT findings (68.6%). There was no significant difference in the percentage of abnormal CT findings based on patient sex and the duration of symptoms (P = 0.14). The abnormal rates of coronary CT angiography, however, increased significantly with increasing age (P < 0.001); with patients over 65 years of age 2.5 times more likely to have an abnormal CT scan relative to a patient under 45 years. A significant difference was found between abnormal coronary CT angiography and the duration of symptoms (P = 0.012). Conclusions Our results indicate coronary CT angiography findings are significantly related to the patient age group and duration of symptoms. Clinical referral for coronary CT angiography of patients with suspected coronary artery disease needs to be justified with regard to the judicious use of this imaging modality.
