Objective To study the effects of MACC1 down-regulation on the growth of gastric adenocarcinoma cells. Methods siRNA (MACC1-siRNA1 and MACC1-siRNA2) that can transiently silenced MACC1 was designed, syn?thesized and transfected into MGC-803 cells by lipofectamine 2000. Non-specific siRNA was transfected to be used as nega?tive control. The efficiency of MACC1 depletion was determined by Real-time quantitative PCR. MTT, colony formation and flow cytometry assay were performed to examine cell proliferation. The expressions of MACC1, P21,CDK4, CCND1 and c-myc were determined by Western blot. Results Compared with cells in negative control group, transiently silencing MACC1 decreased the expression of MACC1 in MGC-803 cells shown by Real-time PCR. MACC1 downregulation drastical?ly changed the proliferation, colony formation and cell cycle of gastric adenocarcinoma cells in vitro ( P<0.05). The expres?sions of MACC1 , CDK4, CCND1 and c-myc proteins in cells of MACC1 silence group were much lower while P21 expres?sion level was much higher than those in negative control. Conclusion Down-regulation of MACC1 result in blocking cell cycle, inhibiting proliferation of MGC-803 cells. So it may serve as a promising target in the treatment of gastric cancer.

Clinic demonstration is the important part of medical education.There are more and more medical students with enlarged university enrolment in recently year.However,the patients for demonstration are relatively fewer.In this condition,we make the best of the available resources to demonstrate clinic pediatrics by teaching at bedside;displaying video products,using human analogue and case record and role playing,thus ensuring the effect of clinic pediatric teaching.

AIM: To analyze the application on frequency domain optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) technology of pathologic myopia optic disc neurosensory retinal thickness changes and its relationship with axis oculi, sex and age, and help for the early diagnosis of pathological myopia and primary open angle glaucoma.
METHODS:Collected 96 eyes of normal eyes ( axis oculi 23-24mm) and 153 eyes of pathologic myopia eyes ( axis oculi 25-27mm 80 eyes, >27mm 73 eyes). We measured the thickness of nerve fiber layer of the optic disc by OCT and analyzed their relationship with axis oculi, sex and age with multiple linear regression analysis.
RESULTS: The observation group showed significant smaller average thickness of peripapillary, superior, inferior, nasal than the control group ( P<0. 05 ); the difference in the temporal quadrant between the groups were no statistically significant differences (P>0. 05); The partial correlation coefficient of peripapillary average thickness of nerve fiber layer and axis oculi was -1. 31, gender was 5. 21, age was -0. 12.
CONCLUSION:The thickness of nerve fiber layer of the optic disc in the pathologic myopia eyes are decreased than normal eyes, axis oculi, sex and age are influenced factors. The pathologic myopia patients should use different index combined with optic nerve fiber layer thickness decreased to help for the diagnosis of early primary open angle glaucoma.

Objective To investigate the reveral effect of Tanshitone(Tan) Microemulsion on multidrug resistance(MDR) of sensitive K562 cell line(KS) and ADM resistant K562 cell line(KA) and the mechanism.Methods The reversal effect of Tan Microemulsion(Tan and Microemulsion as controls) on MDR of KA cells was observed.The inhibitory effect of cell growth was investigated by MTT.The apoptosis of KS and KA cell lines was observed by flow cytometry.The intracellular drug concentration was measured by detecting fluorescent density.Results The result showed that Tan Microemulsion,Microemulsion and Tan reduced the expression levels of P-gp and Bcl-2 in KA cells and Tan Microemulsion had the most significant effect.The MDR reversal folds of Tan Microemulsion of KA was highest among all 3 groups(P

Dextroscope workstation is an advanced equipment developed in recent years and isused to make virtual reality model.We not only used it in surgical planning of thyroid disease,but also applied it in clinic teaching.Application of Dextroscope virtual reality system can help to improve students'capabilities of clinical thoughts and clinical techniques,stimulate their learning interest,enlarge the knowledge,shorten learning curve and release the conflict in practice.Dextroscope system will push forward the progress of education reform,so it is worth spreading.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of myeloperoxidase (MPO)in diagnosis of non-ST elevation acute cor-onary syndromes (NSTE ACS).Methods The MPO was determined in 61 unstable angina pectoris (UAP)patients and 54 non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTE MI)patients,then analyzed the data with receiver operationg characteristic curve (ROC curve)statistical software.The major adverse cardiac events (MACE)were obseved in 106 NSTE ACS patients through 1 year of follow-up.Results The MPO values of NSTE MI group and UAP group were 672±418 ng/ml and 459± 328 ng/ml,the difference was statistically significant (t=3.928,P <0.001).The cTnI values were 558±261 pg/ml and 405 ±278 pg/ml of respectively.The difference was statistically significant (t = 3.089,P = 0.003).The area under the ROC curve of MPO was 0.726 when the optimal cutoff value was 382 ng/ml in the diagnosis of NSTE MI.The sensitivity and specificity was 92.6% and 39.8%.The area under the ROC curve of cTnI was 0.799 when the optimal cutoff value was 484 ng/ml in the diagnosis of NSTE MI.The sensitivity and specificity was 65.5% and 92.3%.High MPO maintained a strong association with the risk of major adverse cardiac events through 1 year of follow-up.Conclussion MPO is ahigh sensitivity marker of the NSTE MI and of clinical value for prognosis of NSTE ACS.

The aim of this research is to investigate the preparation method of valve membrane in transcatheter bio- prosthetic valve, and to study the effect of chemical modification and cutting technology to tensile property and suture force property of valve membrane. We carried out a series of processes to perform the tests, such as firstly to test the crosslinking degree of valve membrane using ninhydrin method, then to test the tensile property and suture force property by using Instron's biomechanicAl testing equipment, and then to observe the collagen fiber orientation in valve membrane using Instron's biomechanical testing equipment and using field emission scanning electron microscopy. The study indicated that after the chemical modification, the crosslinking degree, tensile strength and suture force strength increasing rate of valve membrane were 93.78% ± 3. 2%, (8.24 ± 0.79) MPa, 102%, respectively. The valve membrane had a better biomechanical property and would be expected to become valve membrane in transcatheter bioprosthesis valve.
