MicroRNAs(miRNAs) are small mm-coding RNA molecules that post-transcriptionul-ly regulate gene expression. Advanced studies show that miRNA are involved in cancer. Even some scientists regard miRNAs as oncogenes or tumor associated genes. This review tries to have a brief introduction on the progress in the relationship between miRNAs and tumor's formation,development,diagnosis,therapy and prognosis in humans.

[Objective] To investigate internal fixation with locked plate and bone cement in treatment of long bone pathologic fractures due to metastatic carcinoma. [Methods]From February 2005 to February 2008, 15 patients suffering from pathologic fractures caused by metastatic lesions of the humerus(3 cases), ulna(2 cases), radius(1 cases), femur(5 cases) and tibia(4 cases) have been surgically treated with internal fixation with locked plate and bone cement.[Results]All patients were followed up after operation for ranging from 24~46 months. Pain relief was achieved in 14 patients(93.3%). Thirteen(86.7%) patients got excellent Enneking scores at 2 weeks postoperatively. The quality of life had significant difference betwen before and after operation (P

It is found that gambogic acid can play anti-tumor effects through different mechanisms in a variety of tumor cells,including induce apoptosis,inhibit telomerase and topoisomerase activity,inhibit the expression of heat shock protein and channel protein,inhibit tumor angiogenesis and metastasis and reverse multidrug resistance.Gambogic acid is expected to become a new anti-tumor drug,still need to be further explored its value in the field of anti-tumor.

[Objective] To investigate the role of exenatide on angiogenesis in endometrial cancer Ishikawa xenografts in nude mice.[Method] We used the subcutaneous human endometrial cancer cell Ishikawa xenografts in nude mice model,and divided them into control group and exenatide-treated group.The harvested tumors were preserved for immunohistochemistry staining and western blot analysis.[Results] The micro-vessel density (CD31 positive) in exenatide-treated group was (13.2 ± 1.4)/400 power field,less than that in control group [(25.9 ± 5.8)/400 power field] (P ＜ 0.01).The expression level of VEGF was significantly lower in exenatide-treated group than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).The mean density of tumor associated macrophages (F4/80 positive) is (31.4 ± 3.4)％ in exenatide-treated group and (72.1 ± 4.2)％ in control group with significant difference (P ＜ 0.01).[Conclusion] Exenatide weaks tumor angiogenesis within endometrial cancer Ishikawa xenografts in nude mice.

Sump syndrome is a rare complication of side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy (CDD) and occasionally occurs after spontaneous gallbladder-bile duct-digestive tract fistula or end-to-side choledochojejunostomy.Before the development of minimally invasive surgery,conventional surgical operation used to be the most important treatment method.This article reviews the research advances in sump syndrome in recent years and points out that endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is the major diagnostic method for this disease,and endoscopic sphincterotomy combined with bile duct debridement is the most simple and effective measure for the treatment of sump syndrome.Meanwhile,this article briefly reviews sump syndrome with reference to related literature and clinical practice,in order to raise the awareness for sump syndrome.

Diabetic retinopathy is the common complication of diabetes, and the main reason to cause diabetic blindness. The efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy is clear and definite, with the advantages of multiple target points and multiple layers. This article mainly introduced the application of Chinese herbal medicine and the active ingredients in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.

ObjectiveTo explore the correlation of unknown gene AI408225 and humoral immunity involved in rat regenerating liver. MethodsIsolation of rat 8 liver cell types, detection of their genes expression change were accorded to Percoll density gradient centrifugation combined with immune magnetic beads separation method, and their genes sequence homoeology and coexpression relation were analyzed by Microsoft Excel, BLAST software, and the prediction physiological activities were analyzed by bioinformatics and systematic biology. Results A total of 93 humoral immunity-ass ociated genes yielded the meaningful expression changes in liver regeneration, the corresponding gene numbers in 8 liver cell types included hepatocytes, bile duct epithelial cells, oval cells, hepatic stellate cells, sinus endothelial cells, Kupffer cells, pit cells and dendritic cells were 33, 46, 17, 59, 48, 35, 53, 68. Among that AI408225 and cd4 are homology and coexpression.Conclusion The rat liver regeneration is closely associated with humoral immunity, and AI408225 participates in the formation of compound of MHC II-antigen peptide-CD4-TCR.
