1.The relation of MIF level in serum and the stages and lymphnode metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer
Journal of Chinese Physician 2009;11(4):456-457
Objective To study the relationship between serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels and clinical features in the patients with colorectal cancer. Methods Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays was used to detect the concentration of MIF in sera of 75 patients with colorectal cancer (35 case with primary colorectal cancer and 40 cases with lymphnode metastasis of colorectal cancer) and 40 healthy controls. The relationship between serum MIF levels and clinical features was analyzed. Results Serum MIF was found to be significantly elevated in the patients with colorectal cancer(mean value 31.2ng/ml) compared with healthy subjects (mean value 13.6ng/ml) (P <0. 001). The levels of MIF in colorectal cancer were significantly correlated with advanced clinical progression pathology stages (P <0. 05) and lymph node metastasis (P < 0. 05). Conclusions Increased expression level of MIF in serum may promote the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer and M1F is closely associated with the stages and lymph node metastasis of colorectal cancer.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs)are closely associated with the development,invasion,metastasis and prognosis of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).The abnormal expressions of miRNA play important roles in regulating the genetic variation,cell cycle,invasion and metastasisability and apoptosis of CCA.MiRNAs are hopeful for being used as the biological markers of early diagnosis,prognosis and treatment target.

Bilingual education is developing in the our country. Bilingual teaching faculty will directly determine the quality of bilingual education. To understand the needs of bilingual teachers,a survey was executed. Bilingual teaching team was established by teachers of school of public health of Peking University. The team investigated on related teaching faculty based on domestic development needs of bilingual education thus to provide training for bilingual teachers. Based on practice of teach-er training ,this paper aimed to explore the effective methods for improving teacher's quality and bilingual teaching ability from the training methods and contents.

Gadd45a, a p53 and BRCA1-regulated growth arrest and DNA damage gene, plays important roles in suppressing cell transformation and tumor malignancy. Gadd45a maintains the genomic stability through inhibiting the cell growth and promoting the DNA repair etc, by which it suppresses the tumor development. Additionally, Gadd45a is involved in some important signaling pathway, contributing to its function in tumor suppressing.

Objective To assess the operation time of laparoscopic operation for acute cholecystitis by Meta analysis.Methods The methods of computer literature retrieval and manual search were used to collect the research on the timing of laparoscopic surgery for acute cholecystitis in recent years,and the random effects model was used to conduct the Meta analyze.The quality of the literature was evaluated,and then the RevMan5.0.21 software was used to calculate the RR value and 95%CI of the operation time,bleeding volume and postoperative complications.Results A total of 13 articles were included in the Meta analysis,9 in Chinese,4 in English,2535 for a total number of cases,1401 in the early operation group,1134 in the delayed operation group,and 10 papers for low risk of bias,3 papers for bias risk.Meta analysis of the random effects model showed that the operation time of the early operation group was significantly shorter than that of the delayed operation group(P=0.00,RR=-20.25,95%CI=-24.97~15.33),and the intraoperative blood loss was also significantly reduced(P=0.00,RR=-12.58,95%CI=-29.36~5.78),then the postoperative complications were also significantly reduced(P=0.00,RR=0.63,95%CI=0.47~0.84).Conclusion The use of laparoscopic operation in the treatment of acute cholecystitis in patients with 72h could not only shorten the operation time and reduce the amount of bleeding,but also had a significant effect on reducing postoperative complications.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of interferon alpha (IFNα) plus adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) and tebivudine (LdT) monotherapy for patients with HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) who have poor response to IFNα treatment.Methods A total of 86 HBeAg positive CHB patients admitted to the Sixth People' s Hospital of Shaoxing during February 2010 and April 2013 were enrolled in the study.All the patients received IFNα monotherapy for 24 weeks and had poor responses.The patients were voluntarily divided into three groups:IFNα monotherapy group (n =21),IFNα plus ADV group (n =30) and LdT monotherapy group (n =35).Chi-square test was used to compare ALT normalization rates,rate of HBV DNA load < 500 copies/mL,HBeAg seroconversion and HBsAg seroconversion rates among three groups.Results After 48 weeks of treatment,the ALT normalization rate in IFNα monotherapy group was 52.6% (10/19),which was lower than those in IFNα plus ADV group (86.7%,26/30) and LdT monotherapy group (84.8%,28/33) (x2 =6.913 and 6.361,P < 0.05).The rate of HBV DNA load <500 copies/mL in IFNα monotherapy group was 26.3% (5/19),which was lower than those in IFNα plus ADV group (60.0%,18/30) and LdT monotherapy group (54.5%,18/33) (x2 =11.33 and 3.895,P <0.05).No HBeAg negative conversion or seroconversion was observed in IFNα monotherapy group,but it was observed in 6 (20.0%,6/30) patients in IFNαt plus ADV group and 7 (21.2%,7/33) patients in LdT monotherapy group (x2 =4.330 and 4.657,P < 0.05).No HBsAg seroconversion was observed in three groups.There were no statistical significant differences in ALT normalization rates,rate of HBV DNA load < 500 copies/mL,HBeAg seroconversion and HBsAg seroconversion rates between IFNαt plus ADV group and LdT monotherapy (x2 =0.042,0019 and 0.064,P > 0.05).Conclusion For patients with HBeAg positive CHB who had poor response to IFNα treatment,IFNα plus ADV therapy and LdT monotherapy have the same efficacy in improvement of both liver function and virological response.

Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2012;31(8):662-665
Objective To understand the clinical feature of the elderly patients with diabetes during coronary angiography,and analyze the risk factors of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN).Methods The clinical data of 269 elderly patients who had undergone coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) from January 2007 to December 2009 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively.The patients were divided into two groups:CIN group and non-CIN group.The possible risk factors for CIN,such as glycemic control,diabetic complication,renal function,volume of contrast medium,inflammatory state,therapy of perioperative period,past medical history were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results In 269 elderly patients with diabetes,the incidence of CIN was 9.3 % (25/269).According to estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR),the patients were divided into four subgroup:≥90 ml/min,89-60 ml/min,59-30 ml/min,<29 ml/min.The incidences of CIN for the subgroups were 2.2%(1/45),4.4%(6/135),17.3%(14/81) and 50 % (4/8),respectively.Multivariate logistic gradual regressive analysis showed that loop diuretic use (OR> 6.07),preoperative e-GFR(<60 ml/min) (OR>3.27),volume of contrast medium (≥200ml) (OR>3.26),chronic kidney disease(CKD) (OR>2.80) (P=0.001,0.024,0.015,0.048) were indepen-dent risk factors for CIN (P<0.05). Conclusions Loop diuretic use,preoperative GFR (<60 ml/min),volume of contrast medium (≥200 ml) and CKD are independent risk factors of CIN.
