Objective To investigate the effect of acupuncture plus astragalus polysaccharide on the expression of Bcl-2 protein in pancreatic islet b cells in db/db mice. Method C57BL/Ksj-db/db mice as an animal model of spontaneous type 2 diabetes were selected for this experiment. Five-week-old db/db mice were randomized into model, acupuncture, medication and acupuncture+medication groups. Meanwhile, db/m mice were selected as a normal group. The acupuncture group received acupuncture at points Housanli (equivalent to Zusanli, ST36), Neiting(ST44) and Yishu(Extra) and the medication group, an oral gavage of astragalus polysaccharide (1400 mg/kg). Both groups were treated once daily, for 12 consecutive weeks. After the end of experiment, blood glucose, insulin and resistin were measured, and the expression of Bcl-2 protein in islet b cells was determined by immunohistochemical method. Result Blood glucose, insulin and resistin levels were significantly lower in the acupuncture+medication, acupuncture and medication groups than in the model group. They were significantly lower in the acupuncture+medication group than in the acupuncture and medication groups and significantly lower in the acupuncture group than in the medication group. The expression of Bcl-2 protein in islet b cells was higher in the medication, acupuncture and acupuncture+medication groups than in the model group; there was a statistically significant difference (P<0.01). The expression of Bcl-2 protein was higher in the acupuncture+medication groups than in the medication group (P<0.01) and it was basically the same in the medication group as in the acupuncture group; there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture plus astragalus polysaccharide can significantly reduce blood glucose and serum insulin and resistin levels and increase the expression of Bcl-2 protein in islet b cells to effectively inhibit apoptosis in islet b cells in db/db mice. Its effect is better than that of acupuncture alone or medication.

Objective To investigate the miss rate of adenoma with colonoscopy and assess the features and risk factors for missed diagnosis.Methods Patients with colorectal adenoma received a second colonoscopy within 120 days after adenoma was detected and removed on the initial colonoscopy.The findings of two colonoscopies were reviewed and analyzed.The features of adenoma (including size, location, shape, number and pathology) , clinical characteristics of patients (including age, sex, reasons of colonoscopy, history of diverticular disease, history of abdominal or pelvic surgery and colonoscopy with sedation) and endoscopists were recorded.Miss rate and features of different types of missed adenoma were analyzed.We also assessed the effects of adenoma features, patients' characteristics and endoscopists on missed diagnosis of adenoma.Results Adenoma missed diagnosis was found in 271 patients out of 809 recruited subjects (33% ).A total of 425 adenomas were missed out of 2134 (20% ) adenomas detected by repeated colonoscopy.A large diameter was associated with a decrease in the miss rate for adenoma (P < 0.01).Conversely , sessile or flat shape (P < 0.01) , locations at sigmoid, hepatic flexure, cecum and ascending colonic ( P < 0.05) were significantly associated with a higher miss rate of adenoma, as was the number of adenomas (P <0.01).A higher adenoma missed diagnosis rate was observed in beginner colonoscopists, as compared with experienced ones (P < 0.01).Conclusion A marked miss rate of adenoma exists on colonoscopy, which is significantly associated with the size, shape, location and number of adenomas and endoscopists.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a genetic heterogeneous disease in which primordial and juvenile myeloid cells proliferate or accumulate abnormally in bone marrow, peripheral blood and other tissues, resulting in damage to normal hematopoietic function. Studies have shown that about 30% of AML patients have FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), FLT3 abnormal regulation is closely related to the occurrence and development of AML. At present, FLT3 has become an important target for developing small molecular targeted drugs. Currently, a variety of FLT3 inhibitors and FLT3 degraders have been developed targeting FLT3, and some compounds have exhibited good anti-AML activity. This article summarizes and sorts out the current mainstream drugs for AML therapeutic targeting FLT3, in order to provide a reference for the development and design of AML drugs.

Objective To evaluate diagnostic endoscopic submucosal dissection(D-ESD) for gastric intraepithelial neoplasia(GIN).Methods From January 2012 to May 2016,64 patients with biopsy-proven LGIN who accepted magnifying endoscopy combined with digitalchromoendoscopy(ME-DCE) and D-ESD in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Center of Nanfang Hospital affiliated to Southern Medical University were retrospectively analyzed in this study.The consistency of ME-DCE prediction with D-ESD pathologic outcome was analyzed by using Kappa test.According to D-ESD pathologic outcome,the two groups were analyzed with independent t-test,chi-square test,or Fisher's exact probability test.Results Sixty-four patients with biopsyproven LGIN were enrolled;25 and 39 patients were predicted by ME-DCE as LGIN and HGIN/differentiated adenocarcinoma respectively;27 and 37 patients were diagnosed as LGIN and HGIN/differentiated adenocarcinoma by D-ESD respectively.ME-DCE prediction was well consistent with D-ESD pathologic outcome(k =0.676).According to pathologic outcome of D-ESD,no significant difference was observed in lesion size,biopsy amount,D-ESD sample size,complete resection rate,operation time period,complications,length of hospital stay,or in-hospital cost(P＞0.05).Conclusion ME-DCE can be proposed when the endoscopic biopsy indicates LGIN.And D-ESD should be performed for definitive diagnosis when the MEDCE indicates HGIN/differentiated adenocarcinoma.

In July 1997, a strain (GB30) of virus was isolated from 60 samples of brain tissues of Murina aurata (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) co llec ted in Gengma county, Yunnan province, China. Isolation of virus was negative fr om 4 samples of brain tissues of Rousettus leschenaulti (Chiroptera: Pteropo did ae) collected in Gengma. GB30 virus strain could regularly cause illness and dea th in suckling mice, produced evident CPE in BHK21 cells. It agglutinated red b lood cells of dove at pH5.75～7.4. This virus has been identified serologically by hemagglutination inhibition and immunofluorescent tests using Japanese enceph alitis (JE), dengue (DEN) type 1,2,3,4, and chikungunya (CHIK) viruses monoclona l antibodies, and JE and sindbis (SIN) viruses immune sera. It showed specific r eaction to JE virus only and no reaction with DEN 1～4, CHIK and SIN viruses. Th erefore it can be identified as JE virus. This is the first report on the isolat ion of JE virus from Murina aurata. The results showed that bats are conside red as the reservoir and amplifier host of JE virus transmission in nature.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficiency of navigation system for orbital wall reconstruction in unilateral orbital fractures.

METHODSFifteen patients (7 male and 8 female) with unilateral orbital fracture underwent orbital reconstruction with the help of intraoperative navigation system. The average age was 34.3 ± 9.5 years. All patients underwent spiral CT scanning preoperatively, and the CT data was imported to the BrainLab navigation system (Germany, BrainLab company). The orbit of the intact side was mirrored to the opposite side as the reference for pre-operative planning. The titanium mesh was mounted on the resin template made by rapid prototyping machine based on the mirrored CT data. When the injury was limited, the hydroxyapatite sheet was used for the orbital wall reconstruction. During the operation, the real-time navigation helped to ensure precise placement. The re-establishing result was assessed based on the postoperative CT data with the following four variables: the volumetric difference between the bilateral orbit, the volume of the herniated soft tissue, the global projection and the discrepancy between the simulated and the achieved position of the reconstructed orbital wall. The reconstructive discrepancy was measured only in the titanium plate grafting cases.

RESULTSThere were no serious complications such as infection, graft rejection and optic nerve injury in any case. Preoperatively, the average degree of enophthalmos was (3.5 ± 1.6) mm, the average volumetric difference between the injured and the unaffected orbit was (4.5 ± 1.8) ml, and the average volume of the herniated orbital soft tissue was (2.1 ± 0.7) ml. Postoperatively, the three values were respectively reduced to (1.3 ± 0.6) mm, (1.8 ± 0.9) ml and (0.7 ± 0.3) ml. The discrepancy of the medial and inferior wall were (2.5 ± 0.6) mm and (2.1 ± 0.4) mm.

CONCLUSIONSThe intraoperative use of navigation system for the orbital wall reconstruction in unilateral orbital fractures can provide reliable accuracy and achieve satisfactory results.

Objective To explore the relationship between wild rodent plague and human in wild rodent plague foci of the northwestern area in Yunnan to probe the possible transmission mechanism of wild rodent plague to human. Methods Data of component ratio of rodents and fleas was collected in different areas from 1985 - 1995. Activities and habits of residents regarding the way they keep cats and dogs and parasitic fleas and free fleas indoor were investigated, the dog serum was collected for detecting F1 antibody. Results Eothenomys miletus were main rodents in farmland and shrub, accounting for 48.00% (4753/9902) and 54.50% (4282/7857), Apodemus chevrieri were main rodents in garden, being 50.47% (1332/2639). The component ratio of Neopsylla specialis specialis was 13.31%(229/1720), 12.31%(1678/13 739) and 10.87%(957/8802) respectively in garden, farmland and shrub, higher than in indoor. The component ratio of Frantcpsylla spodix was 39.88% (686/1720), the highest in garden. Thirty-two per cent (32/100) of residents kept cats,in which 63% (20/32) with cat fleas, 68% (68/100) of villages kept dogs, in which 76%(52/68) with fleas. Eighteen parasitic fleas were caught from 43 dogs with a flea index of 0.119 and a rate for fleas of 11.63%, 7 pulex were collected from 17 indoor. Forty-three blood serum samples were obtained from dogs, among which 3 were positive blood serum. Conclusions Residents touch affected animals or media in different situations. The possibility of transmission for wild rodent plague to human exists in loci in a chain of wild rodent plague → fleas or predation → homebred animal plague (cats or dogs) →touching or respiratory → human.
