AT motif binding factor 1 (ATBF1) gene,is a new tumor suppressor gene,and one of its expression variants by alternative splicing,known as ATBF1-A,can bind to the enhancer AT-rich element of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and down-regulate the transcription of AFP,which may suppress the development and induce the apoptpsis of some carcinoma cells.In this review,we attempted to analysis the pathway of ATBF1 behaves with other factors and its multiple biological functions;ATBF1 function as a suppressor gene,it was illustrated for the influence on the growth and invasion of breast,prostate or gastric cancer.We also discussed the application of the ATBF1 level function as a cancer predictor,and forecasted the significance to apply ATBF1 for the therapy of cancer.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral erythromycin in the prevention and treatment of feeding intolerance in preterm infants. Methods The Cochrane Library,PubMed,EMBASE,CBMdise,VIP,WartFang and CNKl were searched up to the year of 2008.Randomized controlled trials (RCT) of erythmmycin for feeding intolerance in preterm infants were included.According to the dosage (low-dose,3-15 mg/kg and high dose,>15 mg/kg)and gestational age(≤32 weeks vs>32 weeks),all infants were divided into several subgroups.Meta-analysis was performed with the Cochrane Collaboration's software RevMan. Results Nine RCrs involving 542 premature infants were included.(1)In preventive studies,low-dose erythromycin could significantly decrease the duration of total parenteral nutrition compared with the high-dose erythmmycin (WMD=-2.99,95%CI:-3.99--1.98).(2)Intreatment studies,highdose erythromycin could significantly decrease the duration of total parenteral nutrition (WMD=-7.06.95%CI:-7.91--6.20,P<0.01)and hospital stay (WMD=-8.10,95%CI:-14.02--2.18,P=0.007)compared with the placebo when gestational age≤32 weeks. Erythromydn could decrease the incidence of iaundice(RR=0.36,95%CI:0.21-0.63,P=0.0003)which might be the effect of bigh-dose erytromycin. Conclusions Compared with placebo,oral erythromycin of different dosage might help to achieve full enteral feeding,shorten the duration of parenteral nutrition and hospital stay,and reduce the associated cholestasis jaundice of preterm infants with different gestational age respectively.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of malaria in Hechi City,Guangxi Zhuang Autono?mous Region from 2005 to 2015,so as to provide the evidence for formulating and adjusting measures of malaria elimination. Methods The data of malaria cases in 11 counties of Hechi City from 2005 to 2015 were collected and analyzed by using Micro?soft Office Excel 2003 and SPSS 17.0. Results A total of 160 malaria cases were reported in Hechi City from 2005 to 2015, and the annual average malaria incidence was 3.6 per million. There were 10 local recurrence cases(accounting for 6.25%,10/160)and 150 imported cases(accounting for 93.75%,150/160). For the etiology,Plasmodium vivax accounted for 51.87%(83/160)in these cases,P. falciparum accounted for 34.38%(55/160),P. ovale accounted for 1.25%(2/160),P. malariae account?ed for 5.00%(8/160),and the indeterminate accounted for 7.50%(12/160). During the period of 11 years,the malaria inci?dence first dropped and then rose. There were no local cases after 2009. However,an imported falciparum malaria death case was reported in 2010,a severe imported falciparum malaria case was reported in 2013 and another in 2015. A severe case of ma?ternal?neonatal vivax malaria was reported in 2014. These cases were mainly distributed in 10 counties of Hechi City,with more young male adults who engaged in digging mining. More cases concentrated from April to August. Most of the reported malaria cases were imported,60.00%(96/160)of them returned from Africa and Southeast Asia,and 33.75%(54/160)from other do?mestic provinces. The median of the interval from symptom appearance to diagnosis was 5 d,and there was a significant differ?ence among the above years(c2=33.40,P<0.05). Conclusions Malaria is still an important public health problem in Hechi City,and the appropriate control measures and effective tools should be strengthened for malaria elimination. The key to consoli?date the achievements of malaria control is strengthening the malaria monitoring management of the floating population.

BACKGROUND: Ghildren refractory clubfoot includes idiopathic multiple contracture, untreated idiopathic clubfoot in older children and failure cases of repeated operations. It is very difficult to treat this type of children patients. It has important significance in the exploration of new therapeutic methods.OBJECTIVE: To improve the therapeutic effectiveness of refractory clubfoot in children with Ilizarov method.DESIGN: a self-controlled study.SETTING: Department of Orthopedics, Nanjing Children' s Hospital, Nanjing Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 3 cases of children idiopathic multiple contracture, 2 cases of idiopathic clubfoot in children aged more than 10 years old without treatment and 6 cases of postoperative recurrent idiopathic clubfoot were admitted by the Department of Orthopedics of Nanjing Children' s Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University during 1999 to 2000. All cases manifested abnormal ankylosis and shortening deformity in foot.METHODS: Twelve refractory clubfeet in eleven patients were treated with the Ilizarov method. After achilles tendon lengthening and posterior release,kieschner' wires or olive wires with tension were penetrated through multiple planes of the middle lower 1/3 of tibia, calcaneus and the 1st to the 5th metatarsals, which were fixed respectively to external bone fixer of a ring,half-ring or horseshoe shape and connected with each other by multiple screw bars into a three-dimensional external bone fixing set. Plantarflexion, inversion, adduction and shortening deformities were corrected by the adjustment of the distance between each part of the external bone fixing set through extension, compression, and rotation, etc., and navicular and cuboid osteotomy.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: All 11 cases were followed up for 2 to 10 years with an average period of 4. 5 years. Indices like foot morphology,talocrural articualr activity range and deformity correction were observed during the follow up.RESULTS: The results were excellent in 5 cases (6 feet), good in 4 cases (4 feet), fair 2 cases(2 feet) according to the Garceau standard scale. The rate of excellent and good clinical results was 83.3%. Mild forefoot adduction was left in 2 feet of 2 cases and quite obvious tarsal articular ankylosis was found in 4 feet of 4 cases; however, there were no significant differences of gait and load bearing between these patients and normal children.CONCLUSION: The Ilizarov technique is a safe and effective method for the treatment of refractory children clubfoot while its indications should be controlled strictly.

Objective The use of targeting therapy for the treatment of gastric glandular cancer has been a hot topic in recent years. This study aims to clarify that through what ways the histone deacetylase inhibitor MS-275 completes its selectively killing effect on gastric glandular cancer cell line SGC-7901. Methods SGC-7901 cells and GES-1 cells were respectively cultured for 24h, with(10-100) μmol/L concentrations of MS-275. (1) The survival rate of SGC-7901 cells, GES-1 cells and the normal cells were analyzed by WST-1; (2) The change of the mitochondrial membrane potential in SGC-7901 was estimated by flow cytometry;(3) The expression levels of p21, p27, p57, cyclinB1, cyclinD1 were determined by Western blot and PCR methods. Results (1) MS-275 could decrease the survival rate of SGC-7901 cells, the effect was significantly enhanced with the increasing of the concentration (P<0.05), but MS-275 showed no obvious effect on normal gastric mucosa epithelial cells GES-1; (2) MS-275 treatment could decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential of SGC-7901 cells (P<0.05); (3) MS-275 treatment could increase the relative contents of p21, p27, p57 genes and their protein and, at the same time, decrease the relative contents of CyclinB1 and CyclinD1 (P<0.05). Conclusion MS-275 treatment can selectively kill gastric glandular cancer cells SGC-7901 through several possible ways, such as inducing mitochondrial apoptosis and regulating the expression levels of cell cycle-related genes and proteins.

ObjectiveTo observe the change of cardiac function after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in rabbit model,and to study MRI characteristics of left ventricular remodeling (LVR).Methods Forty-five japanese white rabbits underwent chest-opening coronary artery ligation surgery to obtain rabbit myocardial infarction model The animals were scanned on a 1.5 T MR scanner ( GE Healthcare,Chalfont St.Giles,UK) at six time-points as surgery,1,2,4,6,8 weeks after surgery. Cardiac function parameters were measured,including left ventricular end diastolic volume ( EDV ),stroke volume ( SV ),ejection fraction (EF),peak ejection rate ( PER ) and peak firing rate (PFR).At each time point,5 rabbits were randomly selected and performed re-thoracotomy to obtain heart specimen.Each specimen was examined by MRI with the diffusion tensor imaging ( DTI ).The value of ADC and fractional anisotropy (FA) were collected. Cardiac function data sets of different time points were analyzed using repeated measures data of ANOVA.The FA and ADC values of infarction myocardium set of different time points or different parts of the myocardium were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. The average was compared statistically between two adjacent groups using LSD-t test. Results Left ventricular EDV increased in progress with the time.It was increased from ( 2.21 ± 0.35 ) ml preoperatively to ( 3.15 ± 0.57 ) ml 8-week postoperatively.But the difference was not statistical significant ( F =1.384,P =0.220).EF was decreased from(57.31 ± 11.11 )％ to( 34.71 ± 8.72 )％.It dropped significantly and the difference was statistically significant (F =27.134,P =0.001 ).EF showed a downward trend with the increase of EDV.By linear regression analysis,an equation was set up with y =- 5.58x + 57.7 ( F =8.855,P =0.005 ).On the other hand,PER showed a progressive decline from (27.31 ± 13.06) ml/s to ( 17.31 ± 6.41 ) ml/s ( F =2.105,P =0.037 ),and PFR decreased from ( 23.79 ± 14.15 ) ml/s to ( 12.07 ± 6.91 ) ml/s ( F =2.366,P =0.011 ).FA value decreased from 0.442 ±0.093 to 0.107 ±0.037( F =12.61,P =0.001 ),and ADC valueshowed upward trend from (5.07 ± 1.15) ×10-4 mm2/s to(6.39 ±0.78) ×10-4 mm2/s (F=4.166,P =0.022 ).FA values of infarct,adjacent and remote region were 0.201 ± 0.049,0.316 ± 0.127 and 0.323 ± 0.117 respectively( F =3.896,P =0.004 ),and the ADC values in these regions were (6.19 ± 1.78 ) ×10 -4,(5.44 ± 2.63 ) × 1 0 -4,(5.29 ± 2.02 ) × 10 -4 mm2/s respectively ( F =3.248,P =0.018 ).FA and ADC values were significantly different between the infarct region and adjacent region ( t =7.327,P =0.001 ;t =3.292,P =0.005,respectively),but there was no significantly different between adjacent region and remote region ( t =1.024,P =0.129 ; t =1.467,P =0.164,respectively ).ConclusionsMRI measurement of parameters of cardiac function can be used to monitor the process of left ventricular function remodeling after AMI.The process of micro-structural remodeling of myocardium can be reflected by DTI.MRI provides a feasible imaging modality for LVR after AMI.

Objective To analyze the clinical features of 6 patients with imported schistosomiasis mansoni,including the epidemic history,clinical manifestations,laboratory tests and therapeutic effect,so as to provide references for improving the levels of diagnosis and treatment of physicians. Methods The clinical data of 6 patients with imported schistosomiasis mansoni from January 2009 to July 2016 were collected and analyzed. Results All the 6 imported patients with schistosomiasis mansoni had a clear history of cercarial infested water exposure. The main manifestations were continuous fever and eosinophilia. Three (50%)patients were accompanied with diarrhea. Anti-Schistosoma japonicum IgG antibody were cross positive in 2(33.3%)pa-tients,while live eggs of S. mansoni were explored in intestinal mucosa specimens of all the patients. CD3+CD8+T cell ratio was decreased significantly but B cell ratio was elevated in all the patients,and the main immunoglobulin of the patients was IgG. Hydroperitoneum and splenomegaly signs were discovered by abdominal ultrasonography in 16.6%(1/6)of the patients. Multi-ple liver nodules and wall thickening of rectum and sigmoid colon were revealed by pelvic MR scan in 16.6%(1/6)of the pa-tients. Colitis was found in all the patients,and 66.6%(4/6)of the patients were combined with multiple colonic ulcers by the electronic colonoscopy examination. Chronic inflammation and eosinophil infiltration were found in all the patients by rectum pa-thology. All 6 patients were cured with chemotherapy named praziquantel. Conclusion Comprehensive analysis of clinical data including epidemiological history,specific manifestations,laboratory tests and intestinal mucosa pathology may be benefit of the management of schistosomiasis mansoni.

Fruquintinib is an effective, highly selective and oral VEGFR 1, 2 and 3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It was discovered and developed by Hutchison MediPharma for the treatment of solid tumors.
