Objective:To investigate the influence of circ_BACH2 on the malignant biological behavior of papillary thyroid cancer and its molecular mechanism.Methods:Cancer tissues and paracancer tissues of 51 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma from the Fourth Central Hospital of Tianjin between 2017 and 2019 were collected. Reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expressions of circ_BACH2, miR-370-3p and G protein coupled receptor kinase interacting factor 1 (GIT1) mRNA in tissues and cells; flow cytometry to detect cell apoptosis and cell cycle; plate clone formation experiment to detect the number of cell clones; cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) to detect cell proliferation; Transwell array to detect cell migration and invasion; western blot to detect protein expressions; dual luciferase report experiment to detect the targeting relationship between circ_BACH2, miR-370-3p and GIT1; the nude mouse tumor formation experiment to detect the effect of circ_BACH2 on tumors in mice.Results:Compared with adjacent tissues, the expressions of circ_BACH2 and GIT1 in papillary thyroid cancer tissues was increased, while the expression of miR-370-3p was decreased. Compared with Nthy-ori3-1 cells, the expressions of circ_BACH2 in papillary thyroid cancer cells TPC-1 and SW579 were increased, the mRNA and protein levels of GIT1 were increased, miR-370-3p expression was decreased. The expression level of GIT1 mRNA was negatively correlated with that of miR-370-3p ( r=-0.634), and the expression level of circ_BACH2 was positively correlated with that of GIT1 ( r=0.635). The expression level of circ_BACH2 was negatively correlated with that of miR-370-3p ( r=-0.394, P＜0.05). Circ_BACH2 and miR-370-3p has a binding site at the 3' UTR of GIT1. After knocking down circ_BACH2, the proportion of G 0/G 1 cells in papillary thyroid cancer cells TPC-1 and SW579 was increased, the proportion of S-phase cells was decreased and the proportion of G 2/M-phase cells did not change significantly. The cell absorbance value was lower than that in si-NC group. The number of cell clone formation was decreased (43±5 vs 100±6, 54±8 vs 100±9); the cell apoptosis rate was increased [(19.60±2.40)% vs (4.30±0.20)%, (18.10±2.10)% vs (5.10±0.23)%]; cell migration number was decreased (61±7 vs 134±15, 58±6 vs 112±11), the invasion number was also decreased (45±6 vs 113±11, 47±4 vs 92±9); the expressions of Snail and Twist1 were decreased, and the expression of E-cadherin was increased ( P＜0.000). Inhibition of miR-370-3p expression reversed the effect of circ_BACH2 knockdown on proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of thyroid papillary cancer cells. Overexpression of GIT1 reversed the effects of overexpression of miR-370-3p on proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of thyroid papillary cancer cells. Mice injected with TPC-1 cells stably transfected with sh-circ_BACH2 showed a reduction in tumor volume [(535±91) mm 3 vs (857±114) mm 3] after 35 days of culture; tumor weight was decreased [(0.62±0.13) mg vs (1.06±0.15) mg, P＜0.05]; the expressions of circ_BACH2 and GIT1 were decreased, and the expression of miR-370-3p was increased in nude mouse tumor tissue. Conclusion:Silencing circ_BACH2 may inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of papillary thyroid cancer cells in vitro, promote cell apoptosis, and inhibit tumor growth in vivo through targeted regulation of miR-370-3p/GIT1.

In the procurement management of public hospitals, the proposal of procurement demands and the formulation of procurement budgets are completed by different departments, which can easily lead to the generation of ineffective demands. Strengthening procurement demand management has become an important management direction to promote cost reduction and efficiency increase in hospitals. The authors established a procurement demand management mechanism for public hospitals based on the KANO model. The procurement demands of public hospitals were identified according to basic, expected, charismatic, indifference, and reverse types. Then, a demand satisfaction principle that conforms to the hospital resource allocation principle was formulated, and the demand satisfaction process was supervised by establishing a risk sharing mechanism, selecting qualified decision agents, and establishing a process constraint mechanism. A certain hospital has been implementing procurement demand management practices based on this management mechanism since 2022, effectively strengthening the awareness of procurement demand management, improving the efficiency of resource allocation decision-making and the role of demand traction. This can provide reference for the procurement demand management of public hospitals.

This paper reported a rare case of hypercalcemic crisis caused by a parathyroid adenoma with hemorrhage and cystic degeneration. Preoperative imaging examination of the patient was unable to determine the histological origin of the cervical cystic lesion. Despite aggressive medical treatment and hemodialysis, hypercalcemic crisis could not be relieved. Therefore, surgical exploration and excision of the cervical lesion were performed, and final diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma with hemorrhage and cystic degeneration was confirmed by pathology. Blood calcium level and renal function returned to normal after the surgery.

Malignant tumors are one of the main causes of human death worldwide and pose a serious threat to human health. The current treatment methods are mainly the combination of chemotherapeutics， surgery， radiotherapy， or hormone therapy. The treatment process has limitations such as multidrug resistance， non-selective targeting of cancer cells， and drug toxicity. With the development and application of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， Chinese medicine has the characteristics of multi-angle and multi-mechanism coordination and slight toxic and side effects. It can effectively inhibit tumor proliferation， differentiation， and metastasis， and avoid drug resistance， serving as the focus of current tumor treatment research. Hedysari Radix， one of the genuine medicinal materials in Gansu province， is a tonic Chinese medicine with a wide range of pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammation， immune regulation， anti-oxidation， prevention and treatment of diabetic complications. In the majority of the ancient works on herbs of the past dynasties， Hedysari Radix was included under the item of Astragali Radix and used as Astragali Radix. Hedysari Radix is superior to Astragali Radix in enhancing immunity， scavenging free radicals， and resisting liver fibrosis. Studies have found that the effective components of Hedysari Radix have a prominent anti-tumor effect and a significant inhibitory effect on various malignant tumors such as liver cancer， bladder cancer， gastric cancer， breast cancer， and colorectal cancer. They can also combine with clinical anti-cancer drugs to reduce the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy drugs and improve the tolerance of patients during chemotherapy. On the basis of current research， this study summarized the mechanism of Hedysari Radix active components in inducing cell apoptosis， blocking cell cycle， inhibiting tumor cell proliferation， migration， and invasion， regulating micro mRNA （miRNA）， inducing cell autophagy， enhancing immune regulation， as well as reducing toxicity and enhancing efficiency and sensitization with clinical chemotherapeutics， and systematically explained the anti-tumor mechanism of Hedysari Radix active components， aiming to provide a basic reference for the further exploration of the anti-tumor mechanism of Hedysari Radix and the further development and utilization of its effective components.

Gallbladder-duodenal fistula is a rare disease in clinical practice, and difficult to diagnosis. One patient with high suspicion of gallbladder-duodenal fistula in preoperative examination was performed with percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage due to could not tolerate surgical operation, and gallbladder-duodenal fistula was diagnosed with the gastric and intestinal fluids extracted from the drainage tube. In the later of fistula repair and the patient′s nutritional support management, the jejunal nutrition tube is inserted through the bile duct, and then the nutrition support was performed through this jejunal nutrition tube. This patients was recovered well.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the value of interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) in the auxiliary diagnosis of tuberculosis and the judgment of the severity of disease. METHODS: From February, 2013 to February, 2017, a total of 193 patients with TB admitted in our hospital and 84 healthy control subjects were recruited consecutively. The peripheral blood plasma levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and IP-10 were detected using liquid phase chip (Luminex) technique. According to the number of lung fields affected by TB, the patients were divided into group A (with lesions in 1-2 lung fields), group B (3-4 lung fields) and group C (5-6 lung fields), The expressions of IFN-γ and IP-10 in 3 groups were compared. RESULTS: The plasma levels of IP-10 were significantly higher in TB patients than in the control subjects ( < 0.05), but IFN-γ levels were comparable between the two groups ( > 0.05). Among the TB patients, plasma IP-10 levels was the highest in group C ( < 0.05), and IFN-γ levels did not differ significantly among the 3 groups ( > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Plasma IP-10 has a certain reference value in the auxiliary diagnosis of active tuberculosis and the judgment of the severity of the disease.

Objective To investigate the impact of glucose metabolism-related protein 1 (GMRP1) on the regulation of c-Myc gene transcription, to establish GMRP1 gene knockout mouse model, and to study the influence of GMRP1 on glucose metabolism. Methods Chromatin immunoprecipitation-PCR (ChIP-PCR) was utilized to screen out the genes transcriptionally regulated by GMRP1. Luciferase reporter system was applied to assay the regulation of c-Myc promoter activity by GMRP1. GMRP1 knockout mice were constructed and validated by PCR and western blotting. Body weight and random blood glucose were measured in both knockout and wild type mice fed with either chow diet or high-fat diet. The levels of glucose metabolism in mice of 20 or 28 weeks old were evaluated by intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test. Results GMRP1 was capable of binding to the promoter of c-Myc gene and activating the expression of c-Myc gene. There were no significant differences in body weight, random blood glucose or glucose tolerance between GMRP1-deficient and wild type mice fed with either chow diet or high-fat diet (all P > 0.05). Conclusion GMRP1 may activate the transcription of c-Myc gene. GMRP1 deficiency exerted no significant effects on mouse glucose metabolism.
