Social network analysis has been a study hot spot in academic circle in recent years and is applied in several fields.After a brief description of its basic theories and study methods, its application in domestic medical and health field were analyzed with its key study hot spots summarized and its problems pointed out, in order to provide the methods that can learned in domestic medical and health studies.

The key words, social network and author cooperation network in papers ( published in 2003-2014 ) on reform in domestic public hospitals were analyzed using Ucinet and CiteSpace visual softwares with CNKI as the data source.The current situation in reform in domestic public hospitals was revealed by mining its research hotspots, progress and author cooperation .Some suggestions were put forward for strengthening the reform in domestic public hospitals .

The functional framework of information management system for regional medical and health institutions was established according to the 5 application systems (public health, medical service, medical support, drug supply support and general management ) and the target to develop 2 databases ( a resident electronic health records data-base and a resident electronic medical records database ) and an operational network put forward in the overall framework of health information construction during The National Twelfth-5 Year Plan Period, based on the functional position of health institutions at different levels.The difficulties to realize the target of the national 3521 project and its prospects were pointed out.

Mobile service in libraries of domestic medical colleges and universities was investigated.The specific characteristics of specialized courses offered in medical colleges and universities, the special nature of medical sub-jects, and the unique features of medical library users were described with suggestions put forward for expanding the mobile service in libraries of domestic medical colleges and universities.

OBJECTIVETo explore clinical and pathological factors correlating with early recurrence of resected non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to further understand the function of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) on NSCLC.

METHODS93 patients of NSCLC were selected. All of them received resection and were followed up for more than one year. The first time of recurrence was recorded. Logistic univariate and multivariable analysis were used to find the factors that affect the early recurrence of NSLSC, including age, sex, serum CEA level, tumor size, tumor location, tumor differentiation, histological type and clinical staging, and the ability of factors predicting the recurrence were compared by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

RESULTSOf all the clinical and pathological factors that are correlated with early recurrence of NSCLC, the serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) value, clinical staging, and tumor difference are of statistical significance. The preoperative serum CEA value is the most valuable factor to predict early recurrence of NSCLC (ROC area: 0.843, 95% CI: 0.723 approximately 0.963, P = 0.000). When preoperative serum CEA value > 10 micro g/L, patients of NSCLC will have an early recurrence rate of 88%; and when preoperative serum CEA value

CONCLUSIONFor the patients with respectable NSCLC, it is very important to know the precise clinical stage and pathological difference, and so is the preoperative serum CEA value. When preoperative serum CEA value > 10 micro g/L, even if the lesion is of early stage and well differenced, the general situation of patients should be carefully examined for the prompt and accurate treatment to them and close follow up is needed to treat these patients.

AIMTo convenience of the methods for assaying red blood cell glycolysis without oxygen condition in the studies.

METHODSReagent kit of glucose, perchloric acid, visible light prismatic photometer, battle of nitrogen and rocking bed are used in the studies. The process includes 4 steps prepare Tris- HCI solution and so on, assay of red blood cell glycolysis without oxygen condition and account of glycolysis rate.

RESULTSHuman red blood cells stored at 4 degrees C for 75 d, in SOD solution, the glycolysis rate is 86.2% +/- 5.0%, distinctly better than GMA solution (39.2% +/- 8.9%).

CONCLUSIONThe methods of assaying glycolysis without oxygen condition not use Habea's apparatus. The operation is convenient and simple and its determinations can be performed in ordinary laboratory and is is accurate.

VisualiZation detection methods are used for determination of the concentration of unknown target by comparing the color change in the intensity or type of reaction solution by naked eye.VisualiZation detection method has some advantages such as simple and rapid operation, low detection cost, fast reaction speed, and detecting target concentration by means of naked eye.Gold nanomaterials are widely used in the construction of visual biosensors due to its unique optical properties.For example, when changing the distance or morphology of the particles, the plasmon resonance absorption peak of local surface will change accordingly.Herein, we reviewed the application of gold nanomaterials in visualiZation biosensors for the detection of target molecules, summed up the main problems of AuNP colormertic methods in the determination of actual samples, and provided an outlook of the future of gold nanoparticles-based biosensor in application development.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting survivin on adhesion and invasion of human colon carcinoma cell line SW480 in vitro.

METHODSAccording to the sequence of the coding region of survivin gene, two strings of 19 nucleotides of inverted sequence flanking the loop sequence of two complementary 9-base oligonucleotides were designed and synthesized to prepare the hairpin construct as the DNA templates for the target shRNA. The shRNA templates were cloned into shRNA expression vector pRNAT-U6.1/Neo, and the resulted vector pRNAT-U6.1/Neo-survivin was transfected into SW480 cells using Lipofectamine 2000. Western blotting was performed to evaluate survivin gene silencing induced by shRNA transfection at the protein level, and the biological behaviors of the SW480 cells were investigated by cell-matrix adhesion, invasion and gelatin-zymography assays.

RESULTSWestern blotting revealed significantly lowered survivin protein expression in transfected SW480 cells, and survivin gene silencing induced by shRNA significantly suppressed the metastatic potential of SW480 cells in association with suppressed MMPs activity.

CONCLUSIONSSurvivin may play an important role in modulating human colorectal carcinoma cell invasion and metastasis, and survivin gene silencing can inhibit human colorectal cancer cell invasion and the production of MMP-2 and MMP-9. Survivin may affect invasion and metastasis of human colorectal carcinoma cells via regulating the production of MMPs.

OBJECTIVETo study the safety and feasibility of transorally inserted anvil (OrVil(TM)) in laparoscopic-assisted radical resection for Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG).

METHODSClinical data (operative time, rate of thoracotomy, residual cancer in the proximal margin, and postoperative recovery) of 72 patients suffered from Siewert type II AEG were analyzed retrospectively, including 46 cases of applying OrVil(TM) in digestive tract reconstruction for laparoscopic-assisted radical resection and 26 cases of applying pouch clamp embedding anvil, between May 2009 and August 2012 in Department of Minimally Invasive Gastrointestinal Surgery at the Peking University Cancer Hospital and Institute.

RESULTSThe length between proximal margin and superior border of tumor was (2.5±1.5) cm in OrVil(TM) group, significantly longer than that in the traditional group [(1.6±1.1) cm, P<0.01]. Moreover, the intraoperative frozen pathological positive incidence of cancer remnant was 2.2% (1/46), and rate of thoracotomy was 0, both of which were significantly lower as compared to the traditional group [23.1% (6/26) and 15.4% (4/26) respectively, both P<0.01]. However, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications did not differ between the two groups (both P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONSAs for laparoscopic-assisted Siewert type II AEG radical resection, application of OrVil(TM) in digestive tract reconstruction is a safe surgical procedure, and can effectively reduce the rate of intra-operative thoracotomy, which is beneficial to postoperative recovery.
