Objective:This study aims to explore the expression of miR-143 in gallbladder cancer tissues and its correlation with tumor angiogenesis, clinicopathologic features and clinical prognosis.Methods:The clinical and pathological data of 78 patients with gallbladder cancer who were surgically resected and pathologically confirmed from January 2008 to June 2016 in the Department of General Surgery, Xuancheng Hospital Affiliated to Wannan Medical College were collected, including 20 males and 58 females, with an average age of (68.0±1.4) years. 78 cases of gallbladder cancer tissue were used as the tumor group, and 32 cases of normal gallbladder tissue adjacent to cancer were randomly selected as the control group. The expression level of miR-143 in the tumor group and the control group was detected by in situ hybridization. Microvessel density (MVD) were evaluated with immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of CD34 in tumor group. The expression of miR-143 and its correlation with tumor MVD, pathological characteristics and prognosis were analyzed by Cox regression analysis.Results:The results of in situ hybridization showed that the positive rate of miR-143 in gallbladder cancer tissues and average expression score were significantly lower than those in adjacent normal gallbladder tissues [29.49% (23/78) vs 62.5% (20/32), χ 2=10.39, P=0.001; (2.705±0.172) vs (4.688±0.405), t=5.33, P<0.001]. Correlation analysis showed that the expression of miR-143 was associated with lymph node metastasis of gallbladder cancer ( P=0.036). The MVD counts in the miR-143 positive group were significantly lower than those in the miR-143 negative group [(126.2±8.483) vs (157.4±6.412), t=2.75, P=0.007)]. The median survival time of gallbladder cancer patients with miR-143 positive and negative was 16 and 9 months, respectively. Cox regression analysis showed that the low expression of miR-143 was an independent risk factor affecting the clinical prognosis of gallbladder cancer. Conclusion:The expression of miR-143 is down-regulated in gallbladder cancer and participates in angiogenesis and clinical prognosis of gallbladder cancer.
Résumé
Objective @#To explore whether the long⁃chain noncoding RNA associated with genomic instability in colon cancer can predict clinical prognosis and therapeutic.@*Methods @#The R package " limma" was used for differential analysis , and the prognostic risk model was constructed by univariate Cox analysis and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression analysis. The difference in prognosis was evaluated by Kaplan⁃Meier method , and the difference was significant by log⁃rank test. The efficiency of the prognostic model was evaluated using a time⁃dependent area under the subject operating characteristic curve (AUC) . The R package“ pRRophetic ”was used to predict the sensitivity of patients to anticancer drugs. R software package rms was used to build a line graph , and the consistency index of the line graph was calculated. Real⁃time quantitative PCR was used to detect the difference in the expression levels of prognostic protective factors. @*Results @#A total of 22 LncRNAs associated with genomic instabili⁃y in patients with prognosis were obtained , 2 were protective factors for prognosis in patients with colon cancer, and 20 were risk factors for prognosis. A prognosis model composed of LncRNAs associated with genomic instability was constructed , and patients with high risk scores had lower AUCs and shorter median survival. The five⁃year survival AUC predicted by the model was 0. 823 in the training set , 0. 722 in the validation set , and 0. 759 in the overall TCGA colon cancer patient population. Patients with low risk scores had lower half inhibitory concentration (IC50 ) of cisplatin and higher sensitivity (P < 0. 000 1) . The expression of prognostic protective factors in colon cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in adjacent colon cancer tissues. @*Conclusion @#A prognostic risk model composed of 8 LncRNAs associated with genomic instability was constructed and verified. In addition , the model can also predict cisplatin drug sensitivity. A histogram was constructed combining the tumor stage and the prognosis model. The predictive ability of this graph for five⁃year survival of colon cancer patients is better than that of traditional histopathological features and prognostic models constructed by predecessors.

Résumé
Objective To evaluate whether visual exploration therapy could lead to the recovery of cognitive function and activities of daily living (ADL) of stroke patients with unilateral neglect. Methods From January, 2012 to June, 2014, 24 stroke patients with unilateral neglect were randomly divided into control group (n=12) and observaton group (n=12). The control group received conventional rehabilita-tion therapy, and the observation group received visual exploration therapy additionally. They were evaluated with Mini-Mental State Exami-nation (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), modified Barthel index (MBI) and Chinese Behavioral Inattention Test-Hong Kong version (CBIT-HK). Results All the scores improved after treatment in both groups (t>5.375, P2.120, P0.05). Conclusion Visual exploration therapy could not only fa-cilitate the recovery of unilateral neglect in stroke patients, but also improve their cognitive function and activities of daily living.

Objective To investigate changes of surface electromyogr8phic(sEM G)signal of pelvic floor muscles in complete spinal cord injury(cSCI)patients with neurogenic bowel dysfunction.Methods Fifteen hospitalized patients with cSCI(observation group)and fifteen normal subjects(control group)were involved in this study.The root mean square(RMS)of sEMG signals were collected at pelvic floor muscles with rectal surface electrode when subjects'pelvic floor muscles were rest(10 s),fleetly contract(2 s×3),continually contract(10 s).Both groups'data of different contracting states of pelvic floor muscles were analyzed and compared.Results The max RMS and average RMS(16.61±2.83,13.52±2.22)at pelvic floor muscles'rest in observation group were higher than that in control group(8.41±5.55,3.45±1.53).There was statistical difference between two groups(P<0.01).In the subjects of observation group max RMS and average RMS(20.24±13.99,13.36±2.39)at continual contraction and average RMS(13.40±2.31)at fleet contraction were nearly the same as RMS value at pelvic floor muscles'rest.There was no statistical difference between these two states(P>0.05).Conclusion The sEMG could be a quantitative index in assessing function of pelvic floor muscles and the neurogenic bowel dysfunction after cSCI.It can supply some clinical value in framing the training of pelvic floor muscles and improving the bowel dysfunction.
Résumé
Objective To investigate the morphological features,biological behavior ,and diagnosis and treatment of gastric hepatoid adenocarcinoma(GHA).MethodsTwenty GHA cases were evaluated. Of the 20 patients,14 underwent radical gastrectomy, 3 total gastrectomy,3 total gastrectomy and wedge excision of the liver metastasis.ResultsHistologically,hyaline globules and venous invasion were common features of GHA.Tumor cells were immunohistochemically positive for alpha fetoprotein(AFP), alpha antitrypsin(AAT), and alpha antichymotrypsin(ACT). Ultrastructurally,tumor cells were arranged toward the lumens with microvilli on the luminal surfaces.There were junctional complexes between the lateral plasma membranes of adjacent tumor cells.Patients were followed up for 1～5 years with 12 deaths, 11 died of metastasis and one died of intraabdominal tumor seeding. The 1, 3 year survival rate was 44%(8/18), and 17%(3/18), respectively. Conclusions GHA deriving from gastric mucosa is characterized both by the histologic structures of hepatoid differentiation and adenocarcinoma.The prognosis is usually poor due to frequent liver metastasis.
