Alzheimer disease (AD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder,and the most common cause of dementia in the elderly.Accumulated evidences in AD research suggest that alterations in the microRNA (miRNA) network could contribute to risk for the disease.As the second discovered miRNA,Let-7 has an important effect on cell proliferation,differentiation,apoptosis,immune response,tumorigenesis,metastasis,and so on.We review in this article the role of Let-7 family in the pathogenesis of AD to provide a strong basis for future research aimed at understanding the potential contribution of miRNAs to AD pathophysiology.

Objective To analyze the clinical data of laparoscopic total hysterectomy after cervical cold knife conization (CKC) in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), and study the supplemental treatment methods after cervical cold knife conization in patients with CIN Ⅲ. Methods The clinical data of 101 patients with CIN Ⅲ were retrospectively analyzed, the patients were treatment with laparoscopic total hysterectomy after cervical cold knife conization. Results Among the 101 patients, the accordant pathological result of cervical biopsy under colposcopy and cervical cold knife conization was in 68 cases (67.3%), while 6 cases (5.9%) pathological upgraded to invasive carcinoma. The positive margins after cervical cold knife conization was in 23 cases, and negative margins was in 78 cases. Among the positive margins patients, 11 cases had residual lesion, including 2 cases of CINⅠ, 2 cases of CINⅡ, 5 cases of CIN Ⅲ, 2 cases of microinvasive carcinoma. The rate of residual lesions was 47.8%(11/23). Among the negative margins patients, 7 cases had residual lesion, including 4 cases of CINⅠ, 2 cases of CIN Ⅱ, 1 case of CIN Ⅲ. The rate of residual lesions was 9.0% (7/78). There was statistical difference in the rate of residual lesions between 2 groups (P<0.05). Conclusions The cervical biopsy under colposcopy has high risk of missing diagnosis of cervical cancer, thus it can not replace the diagnosis of cervical cold knife conization. There is still a certain percentage of residual lesions in the negative margins of cervical cold knife conization. The patients with recurrence or residual risk factors may be considered further surgical treatment.

Poly ( aniline_luminol ) composite nanowires were synthesized by chemical oxidation using ammonium peroxydisulfate. In contrast to the maximum fluorescence emitting wavelength of luminol at 425 nm, the maximum fluorescence emitting wavelength of the polymeric luminol in the composite nanowires was red shifted to 465 nm obviously. The poly ( aniline_luminol) composite nanowires were modified on graphite electrode surface by drop coating, forming a stable poly ( aniline_luminol ) composite nanowires film. The composite nanowires film modified electrode presented favorable electrochemiluminescence ( ECL ) performances, and the ECL response could be enhanced by hydrogen peroxide. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the modified electrode provided a linear range of 5. 0×10-9-1. 0×10-5 mol/L for the detection of hydrogen peroxide with a detection limit of 2 ×10-9 mol/L.

Objective To investigate the effects of volatile oils of Rhizoma Acori Tatarinowii (RAT), Semen Myristicae (SM) and Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae (PCR) on percutaneous penetration of total alkali of Shortstalk Monkshood Root through mouse skin in vitro. Methods By using an improved Franz diffusion cells, the effects of these 3 kinds of volatile oil on the percutaneous penetration of total alkali of Shortstalk Monkshood Root were observed and compared with Azone, and the cumulative amount of Bullatine A was determined by HPLC. Results 7% (v/v) volatile oil RTA and SM, 5% (v/v) volatile oil of PCR and 3% (v/v) Azone were best concentration, the penetration coefficient were 5.88, 6.91, 5.30, 5.75, respectively. Compared with the group without penetration enhencers, the enhancement ratios were 1.09,1.28, 0.98, 1.06, respectively. Conclusion The volatile oil of RAT and SM enhance penetration of total alkali of Shortstalk Monkshood Root. The volatile oil of PCR cannot enhance penetration.

Clinical data of granulomatosa cheilitis of 33 cases were analysed.Odontogenic infectious foci were found in each patient.Elimination of odontogenic infectious foci was followed by regression or disappearance of the swellings in all the 33 cases,suggesting a close relationship between granulomatous cheilitis and odontogenic infectious foci.Elimination of odontogenic infectious foci can be an important measure for the treatment of granulomatous cheilitis.

Objective: To study the effect of volatile oil of Fructus Litseae(FL) ,Rhizoma Zingiberis(RZ) and Rhizoma Acori Talarinowii(RAT) on percutaneous penetration of aconitine through mouse skin in vitro.Methods :By using improved Franz diffusion cells,the effects of these 3 volatile oils on the percutaneous penetration of aconitine were observed and compared with azone,and the cumulative amount of aconitine was determined by HPLC.Results : The penetration coefficient of aconitine with 7%(v/v) volatile oil of FL,RZ and RAT and 3% azone were 10.79,5.82,5.40,3.91,respectively;Compared with the group without penetration enhancers,the differences were significannt;and the enhancement ratios were 3.87,2.09,1.94 and 1.40,respectively,which showed the enhancement ratios of 7% of the 3 volatile oils were higher than that of 3% azone.Conclusion :The 7% volatile oils of FL,RZ and RAT enhance the permeation of aconitine effectively.

Purpose:To investigate whether NSAIDs can induce apoptosis of gastric cancer cell lines,to observe the effect of different p53 genotype on NSAIDs induced apoptosis,to elucidate the regulation of NSAIDs on expression of apoptosis related genes. Methods:The anti-proliferative effect of NSAIDs was measured by MTT assay.Apoptosis was determined by acridine orange(AO) staining,Annexin-V/PI double staining,laser scanning cytometry(LSC) and flow cytometry (FCM).Alteration of bcl-2 and bax genes was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Protein expression was determined by Western-blotting.Results: Indomethacin (Indo) and Aspirin (Asp) inhibited both AGS(wild-type p53)and MKN28(mutant p53) gastric cancer cell lines growth in a time/dose dependent manner.AGS cell line was more sensitive to NSAIDs,which apoptosis percentage was significantly higher than MKN28 under the same condition. The percentages of apoptosis of MKN28 were somewhat higher among NSAIDs treated groups compared with the normal control group,but these slight differences were not statistically significant. The bax mRNA kept increasing since NSAIDs treatment accompanied by a decrease of bcl-2 gene.The Bax protein increased after treatment while the Bcl-2 protein was undetectable, which tendency was more obvious during 6-24hs.Conclusion: Both Indo and Asp could induce apoptosis in gastric cancer cell lines,which adds further theoretical foundation to the anti-cancer use of NSAIDs.NSAIDs could not induce notable apoptosis of MKN28,which indicated the mutant p53 gene perhaps blocked NSAIDs induced apoptosis.One of the major pathways that mediated the anti-tumour response of NSAIDs in gastric cancer cells was through up-regulation of bax and down-regulation of bcl-2 genes and/or proteins.[

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression of c fos gene and delayed neuron death in perinatal hypoxia ischamia encephalopathy (HIE). Methods Terminal deo xynuleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL), immuno histochemistry andreverse transcription PCR(RT PCR) were used to detect the apoptosis and transcription and translation of c fos gene in the hippocampus following HIE. Results Positive signal of apoptosis from CA1 to CA4 sections were observed in experimental hippocampi. Marked signal appeared earlier and longer in CA1 section than in the other sections[CA1: 1 h: (14.6?2.3),24 h: (51?6),72 h: (17.4?0.3);CA4:1 h :1.3?1.6),24 h: (47?8),72 h: (21.6?0.6) apoptosis cell number/ mm 2 ],compared with the sham group of CA1 section P
