Objective To study the role of down regulation of bcl 2 expression of human cholangiocarcinoma cells with bcl 2 mRNA cleaving ribozyme (RZ). Methods Synthetic gene of bcl 2 mRNA cleaving RZ was recombined with the expression vector of eukaryotic cells. The recombined vector was used to transfect human cholangiocarcinoma cells. The expression of bcl 2 in human cholangiocarcinoma cells was observed by immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry. Results The expression of bcl 2 in human cholangiocarcinoma cells transfected with RZ gene was lower than that of control group. Spontaneous apoptosis was observed in a few of the cells. Conclusion bcl 2 mRNA cleaving RZ can down regulate the expression of bcl 2 of cholangiocarcinoma cells notably and can also induce spontaneous apoptosis.

Objective: To explore the effects of peritoneal dialysis on acute renal insufifciency and on relevant blood indicators in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) after the operation.
Methods: A total of 48 CHD patients received direct open heart surgery by cardiopulmonary bypass and suffered from post-operative acute renal insufifciency in our hospital from 2011-12 to 2014-12 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into 2 groups: Peritoneal dialysis group and Routine medication group,n=24 in each group. The differences of renal function indexes, the blood levels of electrolyte and inlfammatory factors were compared between 2 groups.
Results: Compared with Routine medication group, the patients in Peritoneal dialysis group presented decreased serum critinine, BUN and urine β2-micro globulin, 24-hour protein level,P<0.05; decreased blood K+ level and increased blood levels of Ca2+, HCO-3P<0.05; decreased plasma levels of hs-CRP, TNF-α, IL-6,P<0.05. The cure rate and mortality in Peritoneal dialysis group were better than those in Control group,P<0.05. No long term complication related to peritoneal dialysis was found.
Conclusion: Peritoneal dialysis may improve the renal function in CHD patients with post-operative acute renal insufifciency and optimize the blood levels of electrolyte and inlfammatory factors.

By using 5'-nucleotidase-alkaline phosphatase (5'-Nase-AlPase) double staining method, the fine distribution of the lymph vessels in the stomach wall of the rabbit, guinea pig and rat has been observed. Under light microscope lymph capillaries showed strongly 5'-Nase positive reaction with brown or dark brown staining. However blood capillaries revealed significantly A1Pase activity with blue staining. The lymph capillaries were seen in all layers of the stomach wall in three species, but the lymph vessels were only shown in the submucosa, muscularis and serosa. In the mucosa lymph capillaries could be found in the deep layer of the lamina propria. In the submucosa there were lymph vessels and capillaries. In the muscularis lymph capillaries and vessels not only could be found between oblique and circular muscle or between circular and longitudinal muscle, but also among muscle fiber bundles of each layer. In the serosa there were larger lymph vessels situated near the muscularis. The observation on semithin and ultrathin sections also shown the similarity in the lymph vessels distribution. There was no difference in the distribution of lymph vessels in the stomach wall between rabbit, guinea pig and rat.

Objective:This work aims to detect the levels of miR-200c/141 methylation and miR-200c/141 in gastric cancer tissue and investigate the relationship between miR-200c/141 expression and clinical parameters. Methods:The methylation status of miR-200c/141 CpG island and miR-200c/141 in gastric cancer tissue specimens was evaluated by qRT-PCR or BS-MSP method. We analyzed the relationship among the methylation status of miR-200c/141 CpG island, expression level of miR-200c or miR-141, and clinical parame-ters. Results:The status of miR-200c/141 CpG island methylation in gastric cancer tissue was significantly higher compared with that in paracarcinoma tissue. MiR-200c and miR-141 were markedly decreased in gastric cancer tissue compared with those in adjacent tis-sue. MiR-200c/141 CpG island methylation was negatively related with the expression of miR-200c and miR-141 in gastric cancer speci-mens. Conclusion:The upregulation of miR-200c/141 CpG methylation inhibits miR-200c/141 expression in gastric cancer tissue.
