MicroRNAs are a class of small (-22nt) non-coding RNAs that bind to the 3' untranslated regions (3'-UTRs) of their target mRNAs in a complementary or partially complementary manner via the seed sequence in their 5'-region to regulate biological effect. MicroRNAs also expressin malignant tumors and have close relations with occurrence, development and other biological characteristics of tumor. The effect of radiotherapy and the prognosis of cancer patients are limited and influenced by radioresistant all the time. In recent years, the application of microRNAs to improve the radiation sensitivity of tumor cells is a new field in tumor biotherapy. This paper mainly reviews the identification of related microRNAs participating in and regulating the formation of radiosensitivity/radioresistent, and the research progress of their possible mechanisms.

Objective To study the inhibit efficiency of lake sediment phosphorus release by adding chemical reagents and to provide the technical basis for the comprehensive management of city lake.Methods In May 20,2008,Mochou Lake upper sediment and water samples were collected.The phosphorus forms of sediments,total phosphorus(TP),NaOH-P,HCl-P,inorganic phosphorus(IP),organic phosphorus(OP) were analyzed and the pH value and content of TP in water samples were determined.Each water(250 ml)-sediment(10 g) system was respectively added by 0-1 000.0 mg/L of Ca(OH)2,2.0-10.0 mg/L of A12(S04)3 and 0-25.0 mg/L of FeCl3.The pH value and content of TP in water were determined,then the control rate of TP release were calculated.Results The pH values were between 7.6-8.0,TP content was 2.0 mg/L in water of Mochou Lake.The contents of TP,HCl-P,NaOH-P,IP,OP were 2 187.06,1 383.89,526.48,1 910.37 and 276.69 mg/kg respectively.With the increase of Ca(OH)2 concentration,pH value of water increased rapidly,content of TP showed a decreasing trend,control rate of TP release was increased.With the increase of A12(SO4)3 or FeCl3 concentration,pH value of water declined slightly,content of TP showed a decreasing trend,control rate of TP release was increased.Conclusion Ca(OH)2,A12(SO4)3,FeCl3 can significantly inhibit the phosphorus release of sediments in Mochou Lake.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of atorvastatin calcium combined with probucol in the treatment of atherosclerosis. METHODS:A total of 80 patients with atherosclerosis selected from the Affiliated Hospital of Sichuan College of TCM during Jan. 2015-Jan. 2016 were randomly divided into control group and observation group according to random number table,with 40 cases in each group. Control group was given Probucol tablet 0.5 g,every 2 days. Observation group was ad-ditionally given Atorvastatin calcium tablet 20 mg,qd,on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for consecutive 24 weeks. The levels of blood lipid,arterial plaque size and thickness before and after treatment,life quality score before treatment and 3 months after treatment were observed in 2 groups;and the occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS:Before treatment, there was no statistical significance in blood lipid,arterial plaque size and thickness or life quality score between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,the levels of TC,TG and LDL-C,arterial plaque size and thickness in 2 groups were decreased significant-ly,while HDL-C level and life quality score were increased significantly;the improvement of above indexes in observation group was significantly better than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in total inci-dence of ADR between observation group(12.50%)and control group(15.00%)(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Atorvastatin calci-um combined with probucol in the treatment of atherosclerosis can reduce blood lipid level and get thrombolysis,and contribute to the recovery of living ability with good safety.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of tuberculous pleurisy(TP) in children in order to provide a good solution to the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 113 cases confirmed with TP who were admitted to Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2009 to December 2014.Results Among the 113 pediatric inpatients with TP,85 cases (75.2％) were sick for less than 1 month;92.9％ (105/113 cases) age ≥≥5 years old by onset;and 21.2％ (24/113 cases) patients demonstrated the contact with tuberculosis ,among whom 70.8％ (17/24 cases) attributed to linear relatives.The primary clinical manifestations included fever[96.5％ (109/113 cases)], cough [76.1％ (86/113 cases)] and chest pain[38.9％ (44/113 cases)] ,with as high as 89.0％ (87/109 cases) of the patients experiencing moderate or ardent fever.The positive rates of acid-fast bacilli smear and mycobacterium tuberculosis culture were 12.2％ (17/139 cases) and 22.7％ (15/66 cases), respectively;among the 41 patients who received pleural biopsy,40 cases (97.6％) were identified with the typical pathological changes in tuberculosis;and all 11 patients who received acid fast stain test on pleural tissues were positive to the test.Pulmonary parenchymatous lesions were revealed on CT examination in 89.1％ patients(98/113 cases),82.4％ (90/109 cases) of the patients had normal body temperature within a short period,and reduced effusion was revealed in 86 out of 98 patients who received repeated chest imaging examinations.Conclusions TP in children has acute onset typically, and the diagnosis of TP in children is more difficult than in adults,requiring considering multiple factors.Contact history with tubercular patients, etiological examination, pleural biopsy and chest CT are essential for the diagnosis of this disease.

Objective To investigate the association of chest pain patients with primary level in high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-cTnT) level no more than 14 ng/L in the onset of acute myocardial infarction in pa-tients with chest pain. Methods We enrolled 3 096 participants from January 2012 to December 2013 in West China Hospital, Sichuan University. All patients were classified two groups (hs-cTnT > 14 ng/L, hs-cTnT ≤14 ng/L and no ischemia on ECG) according to hs-cTnT levels and ECG. We evaluated the risk of myocardial in-farction and death and negative predictive value in 30 days. Results Thirty-seven patients were diagnosed in having acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and 4 patients were dead in the hs-cTnT > 14 ng/L group in 30 days in the absolute risk 2.35(1.86-2.74) and 0.29(0.12-0.53); 9 patients were diagnosed as having AMI and no patients were dead in the hs-cTnT ≤ 14 ng/L group in 30 days in the absolute risk 0.58 (0.42-0.74). Conclu-sion Chest pain patients whose primary levels no more than 14 ng/L in hs-cTnT with no ischemia on ECG can be ruled out AMI in negative predictive value 99.6%. the levels of hs-cTnT which were dynamic monitored at least 5 h and still no more than 14 ng/L can rule out AMI directly.
