Objective To study the electrophysiological properties of rat skeletal muscle within the frequency from 100Hz to 100MHz.Methods The AC impedance of rat sural muscle tissues was measured using the Agilent 4294A impedance analyzer, then the electrophysiological properties of the normal rat sural muscle cells were established in the respect of cell dielectric spectroscopy, Cole-Cole plots, spectrum of loss factor and loss tangent.Results (1) The dielectric response of rat sural muscle cells was frequency-dependent, such as increase in frequency caused decrease in permittivity. At the same time the conductivity trended to arise; (2) The dielectric parameters(?_L,?_h,?_L,?_h,△?″_ max,△tg?_ max,f_ C1,f_ C2) cell fiber parallel to the applied electric field differed from that cell fiber perpendicular to the applied electric field; (3) The effect of alternating current electric field on rat sural muscle cells showed a dielectric dispersion phenomenon, representing two characteristic frequency: the 1 st frequency(f_ C1(∥)=f_ C1(⊥)=1.02 kHz) and 2 nd frequency(f_ C2(∥)=59.31 kHz,f_ C2(⊥)=380.04kHz). Conclusion The method for studying the electrophysiological properties of rat skeletal muscle cells was established in the respect of the frequency domain,providing a possibility for investigating muscle fatigue in the future.

Intra-abdominal infection is the second common infectious disease in intensive care unit and inhospital patients, with the mortality rate of 20%-30%. Advances in medicine have not improved the outcomes of patients with intra-abdominal infection, and the increasing multi-drug resistance organism may lead to a deterioration in the prognosis of patients with intra-abdominal infection. Gut microbiota dysbiosis and abdominal cavity infections show an interdependent and mutually aggravating relationship. Intestinal microecological preparations regulate gut flora and are potential therapeutic measures for intra-abdominal infections. The authors review the changes in gut flora during intra-abdominal infection, the effect of gut flora on the prognosis of intra-abdominal infections and the role of intestinal microecological preparations in intra-abdominal infections.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of combined detection of serum carcinoembryonic an-tigen(CEA) ,carbohydrate antigen-125 (CA125) ,cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen (CYFRA21-1) ,squamous cell carcinoma(SCC) antigen ,neuron-specific enolase(NSE) and plasma progastrin-releasing peptid(ProGRP) in the diagnosis ,pathological typing and clinical staging in lung cancer .Methods The serum CEA ,CA125 , CYFRA21-1 ,SCC ,NSE levels and plasma ProGRP level were detected by adopting the chemiluminescent mi-croparticle immunoassay method in 378 cases of lung cancer ,200 cases of benign lung diseases and 200 people undergoing healthy physical examination .Results The levels and positive rates of CEA ,CA125 ,CYFRA21-1 , SCC ,NSE and ProGRP in the patients with lung cancer were significantly higher than those in the patients with benign lung diseases and healthy control group ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05);in the single index detection ,the biomarkers of highest positive rate in adenocarcinoma ,squamous cell carcinoma and small cell lung carcinoma were CEA ,CYFRA21-1 and SCC ,NSE and ProGRP respectively .The sensitivi-ty ,specificity ,accuracy ,negative predictive value and positive predictive value of combined detection of these 6 indexes were 92 .86％ ,85 .00％ ,88 .17％ ,92 .64％ and 85 .40％ respectively ,except the specificity and positive predictive value were slightly decreased ,the levels of other indexes were higher than those of single index de-tection .The aresa under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of CEA ,CA125 ,CYFRA21-1 ,SCC ,NSE and ProGRP were 0 .775 ,0 .778 ,0 .891 ,0 .585 ,0 .710 and 0 .620 respectively .The area under ROC curves of the combined detection was 0 .950 .The positive rates of CA125 ,CYFRA21-1 ,NSE and the combined detection in the patients with stage Ⅲ ,Ⅳof lung cancer were obviously higher those in the patients with stageⅠand Ⅱof lung cancer ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05);the combined detection obviously improved the positive rates for the diagnosis in the patients with different stages of lung cancer .Conclusion The combined detection of CEA ,CA125 ,CYFRA21-1 ,SCC ,NSE and ProGRP is conducive to improve the di-agnosis performance and early detection rate for lung cancer ,differentially diagnosing different pathological types of lung cancer and judge the clinical stage of lung cancer .The combined detection of 6 tumor biomarkers is an ideal diagnosis index of lung cancer .

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are conserved small non-coding RNAs that play an important role in the regulation of gene expression and participate in a variety of biological processes. The biogenesis of miRNAs is tightly controlled at multiple steps, such as transcription of miRNA genes, processing by Drosha and Dicer, and transportation of precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs) from the nucleus to the cytoplasm by exportin-5 (XPO5). Given the critical role of nuclear export of pre-miRNAs in miRNA biogenesis, any alterations of XPO5, resulting from either genetic mutation, epigenetic change, abnormal expression level or posttranslational modification, could affect miRNA expression and thus have profound effects on tumorigenesis. Importantly, XPO5 phosphorylation by ERK kinase and its cis/trans isomerization by the prolyl isomerase Pin1 impair XPO5's nucleo-to-cytoplasmic transport ability of pre-miRNAs, leading to downregulation of mature miRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma. In this review, we focus on how XPO5 transports pre-miRNAs in the cells and summarize the dysregulation of XPO5 in human tumors.
