MircoRNAs (miRNAs) are widely existing inorganisms, non-coding small RNA. MircoR-NAs play important role in cell proliferation, apoptosis, stress resistance and fat metabolism. In vitro studies indicate that miRNAs are important factors in platinum resistance of ovarian cancer cell lines. However, the pathway of platinum resistance of ovarian cancers is complex. Studies find miRNA expression play important roles in the sensitivity of platinum resistance of ovarian cancer cell lines , and can be used as an early alert for platinum resistance. Changing the expression of miRNA even can reverse the platinum resistance . But the regular role of miRNAs in target genes network is still unconfirmed. Thus, more studies about miRNA in vivo and animal tumor models are needed to identify the function of miRNAs in platinum resistance of ovarian cancer.

Aberrant microRNA(miRNA) expression has been found in most of human cancers.miRNA-related regulation pathways,including the interaction between miRNA and protein-coding gene and the interaction between miRNA and IncRNA,have been shown correlated with the initiation and progression of human cancers.miRNA might be a therapeutic target in the treatment of malignancies.

Ezrin protein plays an important role in morphogenesis,motility,adhesion.Moreover,Ezrin protein participates in multiple steps of the process of tumor invasion and metastasis.In the progress of tumor metastasis,Ezrin protein is related to several signaling pathways such as Rho mediated signaling pathways,hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) pathways,Fas mediated cell apoptosis signaling pathways,phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt pathways,and in which it plays different regulatory role.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the timely and accurate judgment of drug fever induced by Piperacillin sodi-um and tazobactam sodium for injection and rational drug use in the clinic. METHODS:The medication,clinical manifestations, laboratory examination results and the physician treatment of 30 inpatients with drug fever induced by Piperacillin sodium and tazo-bactam sodium for injection from Sept. 2013 to Sept. 2014 were analyzed retrospectively and statistically. RESULTS:Most of the drug fever induced by Piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium for injection occurred in continuous 7 to 14 d medication,and the cumulative dosages were between 1.3 to 2.7 g/kg;73.3% of the 30 patients had fever during the intravenous drip,with body temperature mainly≥38.5 ℃;the elevation of eosinophil and slightly increase of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood cell sedimentation rate (ESR) could be used as observation indexes of drug fever,but the leucocyte reduce could’t be suitable;the body temperature dropped to normal within 24 to 48 hours after stopped using it. CONCLUSIONS:The drug fever induced by Piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium for injection has no correlation with the patients’gender or age,and no special diagnos-tic criteria. But it has certain correlation with duration of medication,cumulative days and dosages and it can be used as reference of judgment with the combination of hematological examination index. Clinicians should improve the understanding and attention about drug fever to stop using suspicious drug in time.

Objective:To discuss the effect of AngⅡ on insulin gene expression IN RIN-m cells and its molecular mechanism. Methods:RIN-m cells were cultured and divided into three groups, including the control group, 100 nmol·L-1 AngⅡ group and losartan pretreatment group. After 24-hour incubation, insulin gene expression in RIN-m cells was detected by RT-PCR, the mean flu-orescent intensity of 2', 7'-dichlorofluorescein ( DCF) was detected by flow cytometry, PDX-1 and MafA mRNA expression were detec-ted by RT-PCR and the protein expression was detected by Western-blot. Results: Insulin expression in RIN-m cells, cellular ROS level, PDX-1 expression and MafA expression in 100 nmol · L-1 AngⅡ group were significantly different from those in the control group and losartan pretreatment group (P<0. 05). The later two groups had no significant differentces in those indices (P>0. 05). Conclusion:AngⅡ can down-regulate PDX-1 and MafA expression inβ-cells through oxidative stress pathway, and then inhibit insu-lin gene expression. Pretreatment with losartan can antagonize the effect of AngⅡ, and has protective effect onβ-cells in the aspect of insulin gene expression.

It is generally known that postoperative pain can cause many adverse clinical effects on the patients of orthopaedic surgery such as lack of exercises of the involved limb,atrophy of the related muscles,anchylosis,osteoparosis,et al,which will ultimately affect the patient's final recovery and living quality.This paper introduces some recent advanced theories about the orthopaedic postoperative pain diagnosis,evaluation and various kinds of treatments hoping to achieve more effective perioperative analgesia in orthopaedic surgery.

Objective To discuss and analyze the reliability and validity of the application Chinese version of Caregiver Grief Scale (CGS) on caregivers of patients with advanced hepatocarcinoma. Methods To translate the original English scale into Chinese and adapt it to the culture of China, forming a Chinese CGS. Totally 330 patients were selected with advanced hepatocarcinoma who were hospitalized in a gradeⅢ, class A hospital by the convenient sampling method. They were carried out exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis respectively. Results For Chinese CGS, the critical value of every purpose has statistical significance (P < 0.05) by comparison. Exploratory factor analysis showed:KMO value was 0.923;Bartlett's sphericity test value was 794.31;cumulative variance contribution rate was 67.532%;four common factors can be extracted.

Experiments were carried on cultured neonatal myocardial cells of rat to study the effects of angiotensin Ⅰ(AngⅠ) and Ⅱ (AngⅡ) on the synthesis of DNA, RNA, protein and on the cardiac hypertrophy. It was shown that the incorporation of both ~3H-TdR and ~(14)C-uR increased over a set of time periods after addition of AngⅠ and AngⅡ to the medium. The mean protein content of the single myocardial cell was also enhanced, and the volume of myocardial cell was increased significantly after a continuous stimulation of AngⅠ and AngⅡ for 7 days. No stimulation effect was observed either in the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein or in the volume of myocardial cells after addition of AngⅠ together with the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor(ACEI, captopril). These results indicated that: (1). AngⅠ acts as a regulator by its indirect stimulation effect on the synthesis of DNA, RNA and protein of myocardial cells, since it must be changed into AngⅡ by the ACE present in myocardial cells. The ACE can be inhibited by the ACEI: (2) The hypertrophy of cultured neonatal myocardial cells may induced by a continuous stimulation of AngⅠ and AngⅡ.

Background and purpose:High frequency loop electrosurgical excision procedure(LEEP)has been widely used in the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. The purpose of this study was to explore the value of loop electrosurgical excision procedure in the diagnosis and management of CINⅢ and stage ⅠAl cervical carcinoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis was carried out in 396 cases of CINⅢ and cervical carcinoma with stage ⅠAl undergoing operation and loop electrosurgical excision procedure between January 2003 and October 2006 at Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University.Results:The coincidence rate of the multiple biopsies before the procedures compared with the conization ones was 88.6 % (351/395). The incidence of residual disease was 10.2%(6/59) and 7.7 % (6/78), respectively in patients with positive margins and negative margins.Conclusions:Loop electrosurgical excision procedure can improve both the diagnosis and treatment of CINⅢ and cervical carcinoma stage ⅠAl. We should offer further treatment properly to the cases with positive margin because of the persistent lesions.
