With the rise of microecology and medical model getting into the stage of the development of the ecological medicine, the intersection and consistency in the cognition traditional of Chinese and Western medical system are highlighted. Yin-yang theory is the core theory in TCM. In order to extend the guidance effects of theory of the balance of yin and yang in the clinic, and help TCM theory and curative effect be further recognized by the world, this article analyzed the consistency of different systems by comparing TCM balance theory and microecology, with a purpose to explore the closed link between TCM balance theory and microecology and microscopic nature of TCM balance theory.

Objective To observe the inhibitory effect of andrographolide (AD) on the migration and invasion of human cervical cancer cells,and investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effect of AD.Methods Human cervical cancer cell lines HeLa cells were cultured in vitro.After induced by 100 nmol/L of phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate(PMA) for 24 h,different concentration of AD was co-incubated for another 24 h.Cell viability was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazoliym (MTT) assay.Chamber invasion assay was used to observe the migration and invasion,respectively.Expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and translocation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65 subunit were detected by Western blot.Results The concentration (0 ~ 10 μmol/L) of AD exhibited a non-cytotoxic effect on HeLa cells.10 μmol/L of AD decreased PMA-induced migration by 49% and invasion by 52%.Western blot showed that AD suppressed PMA-induced MMP-9 protein expression in a dose-dependent manner.Treatment of AD could decrease the translation of p65 in HeLa cells.Conclusions AD inhibits MMP-9 expression mediated by NF-κB,which lead to the suppression of migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells.

Objective:To differentiate human embryonic stem cells ( hESCs ) into keratinocytes ( K-hESCs) and analyse the expression characteristics of biomarkers of K-hESCs.Methods: The hESCs of line H9 were seeded on matrigel in mTeSR1 medium.The hESCs were directly differentiated into kerati-nocytes in epithelial differentiation medium with bone morphogenetic protein 4, retinoic acid and N2 sup-plement.The karyotype of K-hESCs was analyzed, comparing the gene expression differences of K-hESCs with human gingival epithelial cells (HGECs), human immortalized oral epithelial cells (HIOECs) and HaCaT by Real-time PCR.Molecular characteristics of the cell differentiation were observed throughout the process by immunocytochemical techniques.Results:H9-hESCs were successfully differentiated into the cells that exhibited characteristics of keratinocytes in epithelial differentiation medium.The karyotype of K-hESCs was 46, XX; and the keratinocyte gene p63 expression in K-hESCs was significantly lower than that in HaCaT ( P<0.05) , but there was no significant difference of p63 expression in K-hESCs, comparing with that in HGECs and HIOECs ( P >0.05 ) .Conclusion: H9-hESCs could be directly differentiated into K-hESCs.The gene expression of K-hESCs was similar to that of epithelial cells in the early stage of monolayer cells differentiation with high proliferative activity.

Objective To report the clinical and genetic features in a family with Mohr-Tranebjaerg syndrome (MTS).Methods After collecting clinical data of the family,visual and auditory evoked potentials,pure tone audiometry,transient evoked otoacoustic emissions and distortion product otoacoustic emissions were carried out in proband (Ⅲ5).The translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 8 homolog A (TIMM8A) gene was sequenced in proband,Ⅰ2,Ⅱ 4 and Ⅱ 6.Results Ⅲ5,a 15-year-old boy presented with deafness,slurred speech,difficulty in finger extension and dystonia gradually since 2 years old.Ⅲ1,Ⅲ 2 and Ⅲ 3 presented with deafness at the age of 2.Ⅰ 2,Ⅱ 2,Ⅱ 4 and Ⅱ 6 showed mild decreased visual acuity at the age of 12.Visual evoked potentials revealed prolonged P100 latency in both eyes.Pure tone audiometry revealed severe sensorineural hearing loss.The auditory evoked potentials showed no wave in the bilateral ears.Otoacoustic emissions were not elicited bilaterally.A novel c.133-2delA mutation in TIMM8A gene was identified in Ⅲ 5,Ⅰ2,Ⅱ 4 and Ⅱ 6.Conclusions We confirm the MTS caused by a novel c.133-2delA mutation in TIMM8A gene.Except for the deafness,the development of other symptoms of the disease vary obviously from case to case in the same family.The female carriers with mild lesion of optic nerves.

Purpose:To evaluate the role of multi - detector row CT(MDCT) using reconstruction techniques in the assessment of patients with obstructed diseases of biliary tract.Materials and Methods: 47 Patients with obstructed diseases of biliary tract confirmed clinically underwent MDCT and their reconstructed images of biliary tract including multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) images and curved planar reconstruction(CPR) images were compared with those of 50 patients without obstruction and dilatation of biliary tract.The display effect of biliary duct structure and biliary duct wall and the display ability of biliary tract by MPR and CPR images between the 2 groups were compared and analysed.The reconstruction images of biliary tract were analysed retrospectively to evaluate the location and possible causes of biliary obstruction.Results: The display effect of biliary duct structure and biliary duct wall in MPR and CPR images of the group with biliary obstruction is better than that of control group,and the display ability of biliary tract in CPR images of the group with biliary obstruction is also better than that of control group.The accuracy of localization and cause evaluation of obstruction by MPR and CPR images is 100% and 89.4% respectively.Conclusions: The MPR and CPR images of MDCT provide a good display of biliary duct structure,biliary duct wall and an accurate evaluation of obstruction localization.The reconstruction technique of MDCT such as MPR and CPR should be widely applied in the evaluation of biliary obstruction.

Objective To explore clinical and muscular pathological features of statin-induced myopathy.Methods Nine patients were enrolled in this study,who were diagnosed as statin-induced myopathy by muscle biopsy in Peking University First Hospital from April,2012 to October,2014.The clinical data and pathological findings were analyzed.Results The exposure time to statins varied from 4 days to 4 years in the total of 9 patients,6 males and 3 females,with the average age of 63 ± 6 (55 to 74) years old.Three patients suffered from myalgia and 6 patients complained of weakness mainly at the proximal limbs,while no symptoms occured in 3 patients.Serum creatine kinase (CK) increased in all patients with the maximum value varied from 468 to 8 000 U/L.Serum myositis antibodies were tested in 7 patients and all were negative.Electromyogram was performed in six patients with myogenic damage found in 2 patients.MRI of bilateral thigh muscle was carried out in six patients with muscle edema and mild fatty infiltration found in 2 patients.All patients underwent skeletal muscle biopsy with histochemical and immunohistochemical staining.The main muscular pathological features were muscle fiber atrophy,necrosis,regeneration and increased lipid droplets.Ragged blue fiber,cytochrome C oxidase-negative muscle fibers and decreased NADH activity were observed in some patients.MHC-Ⅰ expressed in the sarcolemma of muscle fibers at various levels.Mild C5b-9 staining was found in the endomysium,capillary and cytoplasm.Symptoms and the level of CK were improved in 7 patients after discontinuing statins or changing to another statin,while the immunosuppressive therapy were used in 2 patients and shown to be effective.Conclusions Statin induced myopathy is self-limiting in most patients,with improvement after discontinuation of statins.Few patients with autoimmune necrotic myopathy need immunosuppressive therapy.
