Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is one of the most common malignancies worldwide.Due to the difficulty of diagnosis in the early stage of HCC, most HCCs are diagnosed in intermediate-advanced stage.Moreover, the high invasion, metastasis and recurrence rate of HCC result in the high mortality of HCC.MicroRNAs(miRNAs) are a class of highly conserved, endogenous, small, non-coding ,single stranded RNA with the length of 22 nucleotides.There are plentiful of miRNAs in liver.MiRNAs not only can regulate the growth and development of liver, but also are closely related to the formation of HCC.In the process of HCC formation, miRNAs could function as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes to regulate multiple biological processes related to HCC, including cell differentiation,proliferation,tumorigenesis,angiogenesis,invasion,and metastasis.With the intensive study of molecular mechanisms of miRNAs in the process of HCC formation, increasingly studies have revealed that miRNAs could become sensitive biomarkers and effective therapeutic targets for HCC.

AIM To study the effects of Biejiajian Pills (Colla Carapacis Trionycis,Asini Corii Colla,Nidus Vespae,etc.) on NF-κB,p65,p50 and IκB in NF-κB signaling pathway and target gene expression in HSC-T6 cells of rats.METHODS HSC-T6 cells were cultured with Biejiajian Pills drug serum for 24 hours,the expressions of p65,p50,VEGF and TIMP-1 mRNA were determined by qPCR;the expression of p65 was measured by immunofluorescence;the expressions of IκBα,IκBβ and α-SMA were determined by Western blot.RESULTS The Biejiajian Pills middle-,high-dose and positive control groups showed significantly lower expressions of p65,VEGF and TIMP-1 mRNA as compared with the blank control group and negative control group,the expressions of p50 mRNA among various groups showed no significant differences.But immunofluorescence showed that the expression of p65 in cytoplasm was decreased.Meanwhile,Biejiajian Pills showed significantly higher IκBα protein expression and obvious down-regulation of α-SMA expression in a dose-dependent manner,but had no significant influence on the expression of IκBβ.CONCLUSION Biejiajian Pills' therapeutic effects on hepatic fibrosis may be related to influencing NF-κB signaling pathway and inhibiting the expression of down-stream target gene.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of hippocampal CA3 dopaminergic system in acquisition and consolidation of Pavlovian fear conditioning,and expression of GluR1 and NR2B in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC),CA1 and basolateral amygdala (BLA) after fear conditioning training.MethodsBilateral injection 6-OHDA into hippocampal CA3 to lesion dopaminergic fibers 2 weeks before fear conditioning training.The change of GluR1 and NR2B were analyzed by western blot after training.ResultsCompared with the saline group ( (66.44 ± 16.58)％ ),there were significant decreases ( (39.24 ± 12.83)％,(31.15 ±6.51 )％ ) in the consolidation of short- and long- term fear memory (P ＜ 0.05 ) but not the acquisition ( ( 65.58 ± 5.33 ) ％,P ＞ 0.05).The expression of GluR1 protein was significantly increased in BLA (P＜0.01 ) but not the mPFC or hippocampal CA1 (P＞1.05 ),compared with the saline group.In addition,the expression of NR2B protein was significantly increased in the mPFC and decreased in BLA (P＜0.01) but not the hippocampal CA1 (P＞0.05),compared with the saline group.ConclusionDown-regulation of dopaminergic system in hippocampal CA3 may impair the consolidation but not the acquisition of fear memory,and also regulate the expression of GluR1,NR2B protein related to fear memory in other brain regions.

Objective To investigate the epididymal sperm ultrastructure after vasectomy. Methods During the operation of vasovasostomy (38 cases, test group) and vasectomy (13 cases,control group,group A) the proximal vas deferens fluids were collected.The epididymal sperm morphology in the proximal vas deferens fluids was observed using optical and electronic microscopes.Data were analyzed by SPSS program. Results The data from group A showed that there was no significant difference between left and right side in the percentage of normal sperm morphology.The results from both optical and electronic microscopes showed that there was a significant difference in the percentage of normal sperm morphology (a),abnormal sperm head (b),sperm with neck defect (c) and sperm with tail defect (d) between group A and group B(5 years after vasectomy). (electronic microscopes:(a):(40.28?11.53)% vs (16.80?7.93)%,(6.29? 4.57 )%,( 4.63? 5.06 )%; (b):(35.00?14.18)% vs (59.05?14.44)%,(63.43?15.23)%,(82.05? 16.71 )%;(c):(20.83? 6.40 )% vs (13.60?6.78)%,( 14.71? 6.82)%,(9.00?7.18)%;(d):(3.89?4.44)% vs (10.55?11.73)%,(15.57?9.81)%,(4.32?7.65)%. optical microscopes:(a):(49.12?20.55)% vs (19.95?15.42)%,(10.00?9.50)%,(5.84?9.63)%; (b):(35.00?14.55)% vs (22.55?16.24)%,(14.71?15.78)%,(10.68?18.65)%; (d):(15.80?9.55)% vs (57.50?24.74)%,(75.29?23.90)%,(78.21?30.33)%.There existed multi-cell organ and multi-form abnormalities in the inner structures of sperm heads,necks and tails. Conclusions The epididymal sperm defect (including head, neck and tail) after vasectomy was demonstrated in the inner cell organs.The longer after vasectomy, the higher percentage of sperm with abnormality was found.

Objective To explore ways of enhancing the therapeutic level of the neurology department and reducing the economic burdens of patients. Methods Relevant materials were collected by means of evidence based medicine to optimize therapeutic schedules, with cerebral infarction being the pitching in point. Results Prior to the adoption of evidence based medicine, the average length of stay, the effective rate of treatment and the expenses for single entity diseases were respectively 17.83?13.44, 89.91% and 4 550.70 yuan, whereas after the adoption of evidence based medicine, they were respectively 15.38?11.37, 94.16% and 3 942.88 yuan. Conclusion Evidence based management is a means of scientific management. Its application in the department of neurology has produced a marked effect and it is worthy to be spread.
