Comparing with the world level, the bibliometric indicators of Chinese medical journals in oncology field are rather lower, but our medical journals have big development space. In the world journals with high impact index, the papers published by Chinese authors are fewer; in the papers number, the superiority of Chinese authors is in tumor clinical therapy field. Most papers are written by researchers from large institutions with plenty of medical resources.

microRNAs (miRNAs), a class of endogenous non-coding RNA about 22 nucleotide long, regulate gene expression at the post-transcription level by inhibiting the translation or inducing the degradation of their target mRNAs in organisms. A lot of studies reveal that miRNAs in adipose tissues are involved in adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism and modulated by multiple transcription factors, adipocytokines and environmental factors, which form a complex regulatory network maintaining the homeostasis of adipose tissues. The discovery of circulating miRNAs adds new elements to the regulatory network. To study the metabolic diseases such as obesity, we should keep a new insight into the complex dynamic network. In this review, we summarize the latest studies of miRNAs in adipose tissues, which might provide new strategies for the treatment of obesity and other related diseases.

ObjectiveTo observe the expression of apoptosis factor, the mechanism of neuronal apoptosis and profective effect of recombinant Human Erythropoietin (rHu EPO) after spinal cord injury (SCI) in SD rats.Methods30 SD rats were divided into four groups including control group, SCI group, treatment groups A and B.The animal SCI model was established with Allen's method. The changes of nerve functions of rats of 4 groups were observed before and after treating with rHu EPO. The expressions of apoptosis factors (Bcl-2,Bax,Fas) were tested with immunocytochemistry technique, and apoptosis neurones were labeled with TUNEL dyeing.ResultsThe grade of nerve function was improved distinctly in treatment groups, but group B was better than group A.The number of the positive cells for Fas and Bax in SCI group was more than that in treatment groups (P<0.05), and group A was more than group B. The number of Bcl 2 positive cells in the treatment groups was greater than that in SCI group (P<0.05).ConclusionApoptosis is a important death mode of neuron after SCI. rHu EPO can distinctly improve the comeback of the nerve function and protect the nerve tissue.

Objective To evaluate efficacy and mechanism of Anluohuaxian pilule combined with interferon-γ in the treatment of schistosomal liver fibrosis. To preliminarily study on the relationship of pigment deposition in liver and schistosomal liver fibrosis. Methods Thirty Kunming mice were divided into the normal control group, the infection control group and the combination of Anluohuaxian pilule and Interferon-γ treated group. Schistosomal liver fibrosis model was established by infection with 40 Schistosoma japonicum cercariae. The treated group was treated by combination of Anluohuaxian pilule and Interferon-γ for 8 weeks. The changes of pigment deposition and hepatic egg granuloma in Schistosoma japonicum infected mice were observed. Expressions of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ were detected by immunohistochemistry. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 was detected by fluorescent polymerase chain reaetion(PCR). Histopathology and computer image analysis were applied to evaluate the change in the liver tissues. Results The amount of pigment deposition in liver was related to the expression of TGF-β1 mRNA (correlation coefficient = 0. 8). Compared to the infection control group, combination of Anluohuaxian pilule and Interferon-γ can lessen hepatic fibrosis(P<0.05). The combination therapy can also make pigment deposition less and hepatic granuloma smaller than the infection control group(P<0. 05). Conclusions Pigment deposition in liver is related to the expression of TGF-β 1. Combination of Anluohuaxian pilule and Interferon-γ can lessen hepatic fibrosis in mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum. It's one mechanism to of the combination therapy down-regulate the expression of collagen Ⅰ, Ⅲ and TGF-β 1.

Objective To investigate the relationship of the1675A/G polymorphism of AT2 gene with the therapeutic effect of indapamide sustained release tablets in female patients with primary hypertension.Methods Two hundred and twenty female patients with primary hypertension were treated with Indapamide Sustained Release Tablets ( 1.5 mg · qd) for 8 weeks.The blood samples from the patients were collect to determine AT2 gene polymorphism by PCR combined with HRM and sequencing.Results Two hundred and five patients completed the test.In female patients,the therapeutic efficacy of indapamide sustained telease tablets among different AT2R genotypes( AA:70.6％,AG:71.6％,GG:71.4％ ) showed no significant difference ( x2=2.53,P=0.49 ),neither do the decline of BP after therapy ( F=0.39 and 0.19 respecrively,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The AT2 genotype was assumed to be not correlated to the blood pressure lowering response to Indapamide Sustained Release Tablets in female primary hypertension patients.

ObjectiveIn order to provide reliable sufficient information for making a policy to develop Emergency Departments in Chinese Medical Hospitals, a countrywide investigation on current situations of such departments was carried out.Methods Firstly, questionnaires which could be responded by filling out on line and paper were made respectively. The Departments of Emergency in 300 Chinese Medical Hospitals widely distributed in 27 provinces of China (municipalities directly under the central government) with technique level 2 or above were observed in this study by Red Cap database or Email.Results All together 280 questionnaires were sent out, and 200 questionnaires were responded. The information from 200 emergency departments of Chinese medical hospitals in 24 provinces was collected, the recovery rate being 71.42%. The investigative results were as follows: ① All Chinese medical hospitals involved in this study were equipped with an independent emergency department. The average occupation of ground area, numbers of ward beds and ambulances in these emergency departments were 713.6 m2, 18.93 and 2.81 respectively, and 75.8% of the hospitals were of the first aid local network units.② There were 26 emergency departments having internal, surgical, women and children emergency clinics, 83 hospitals had internal and surgical emergency clinics only, and in 91 hospitals there was no any special clinic in emergency department. In addition, only did 81 hospitals have intensive care units (ICU).③ The number of clinicians was 11.86±9.28 on average, and 26 hospitals even had no emergency specialists. In 39 hospitals, there were no emergency clinicians with high rank title, most of these clinicians had bachelor or master's degree, and only did 30 hospitals have emergency clinicians with PhD degree.④ The annual average patient admitted in emergency departments of these hospitals was 2.36 thousand cases, including 1197.38 rescue ones. The clinicians who could accomplish abdominocentesis and thoracentesis independently were accounting for 90.7% and 89.0%, respectively, 8.2% hospitals could carry out percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and more than 70% hospitals already had the emergency green channel.⑤ About 93.5% hospitals had established a management system of medical quality control, and 89.0% hospitals had already had a medical quality control group.⑥ 65.5% hospitals had assessment index of Utilization rate of traditional Chinese Medicine, and 52.5%hospitals routinely conducted discussions on cases treated primarily by Chinese medicine (CM).Conclusions The development levels of emergency departments of all Chinese medical hospitals involved are very uneven, on which more attention should be paid. The enhanced investment is required to construct the emergency clinics and improve medical techniques in order to meet the growing need of the first aid in our society.
