ABSTRACT
Objective To study the detection of Na+/H+exchanger regulatory factor 3(NHERF3) protein expression in renal carcinoma and its correlation with malignant biological behavior. Methods Renal clear cell carcinoma and their adjacent tissues of forty- eight patients were collected. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the positive expression of NHERF3 protein,and specific expression was detected by Western-blot.Patients were further divided into high NHERF3 group and low NHERF3 group according to median expression of NHERF3 protein,and each group had 24 cases.The expressions of proliferation,invasion and autophagy genes in tumor tissues were detected by fluorescent quantitative PCR.Results The positive rate of NHERF3 protein and the expression of NHERF3 protein in renal carcinoma tissue was significantly lower than that in paracancerous tissue(P<0.05).Expressions of proliferation genes such as k-Ras,c-Myc,TRPC1 mRNA in low NHERF3 group were higher than those in high NHERF3 group:141.74 ± 18.95 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00, 135.88 ± 16.32 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00, 137.21 ± 16.98 vs.100.00 ± 0.00;MIIP,FOXO1 mRNA levels were lower than those in high NHERF3 group: 43.19 ± 5.88 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00, 38.76 ± 4.51 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00; expressions of invasion genes such as CD74, Fascin, MACC1, TRPM8 mRNA were significantly higher than those in high NHERF3 group:152.18 ± 17.64 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00, 146.29 ± 17.63 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00, 139.76 ± 15.82 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00,150.47 ± 17.95 vs.100.00 ± 0.00;expressions of autophagy genes such as Beclin-1,LC3 mRNA were significantly lower than those in high NHERF3 group: 63.21 ± 7.09 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00, 56.28 ± 7.15 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00; EZH2 mRNA level was higher than that in high NHERF3 group:159.47 ± 17.82 vs.100.00 ± 0.00,and there were significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusions The positive rate of NHERF3 protein expression and the amount of protein expression in renal carcinoma tissue is increased, and the specific expression is closely related to tumor proliferation, invasion and activity of autophagy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical features of congenital glucose-galactose malabsorption (CGGM),and to improve the understanding of CGGM.Method Clinical manifestations and treatment process of one patient with CGGM in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.From 1966 to 2016 May,Chinese medical database and PUBMED were searched using Malabsorption syndrome,dehydration,hypernatremia , diarrhea , newborn , carbohydrate metabolism ,andglucose/galactose malabsorption as key words.The clinical features of CGGM reported in literatures were summarized.Result The patient in our hospital was a full-term female infant naturally delivered.The onset of the disease was on the 9th day after birth,and the clinical manifestations included severe diarrhea,severe dehydration,hypernatremia,metabolic acidosis and malnutrition.After intravenous infusion and symptomatic treatment,dehydration,hypernatremia and metabolic acidosis were corrected.However,there was no improvement of diarrhea characterized with watery and acidic stools,and neither was weight gain.Glucose loading test was negative,and fructose loading test was positive.Diarrhea was improved markedly using diagnostic carbohydrate-free formula,so CGGM was diagnosed clinically.SLC5A1 homozygous IVS7-2 A > G mutation was detected which confirmed the diagnosis of CGGM.With carbohydrate-free formula feeding,the body weight of the infant was increased.Followed up for 2 months now,her body length and body weight were at P25 and P22 on growth curve respectively,and no obvious neurological sequela was observed.Our literature review revealed 7 reports including 48 cases of CGGM children.Literature review showed that:most children with CGGM (79.2%) had the onset within 7 days of life;main clinical features included diarrhea (100%),dehydration (100%),and malnutrition (54.2%);22.9% of patients with carbohydrate-free formula and 27.1% with fructose matrix formula were fed well;no death was detected,77.1% had normal weight gain,and 91.7% had normal development of the nervous system.Conclusion CGGM is rare.The symptoms include severe watery and acidic stools with onset during neonatal period.CGGM is associated with severe complications such as hypertonic dehydration and hypernatremia.The diagnosis is established based upon typical clinical manifestations,sugar loading test and SLC5A1 gene detection.Carbohydrate-free formula feeding is effective.

ABSTRACT
Objectives:To investigate the impact of doctor-attacking on medical students’ occupation atti-tude. Methods: We conducted a sample survey towards different major of Wenzhou Medical University by using self - made questionnaire. Reults: The occupation attitude of interviewee is not so bad, the confidence about the occupation is really deep down and the occupational sense of mission worries a lot of people. Doctor-attacking cases damage the honorable sense of occupation, even threatens basic personal security. The spread passive emotion by Network media , as well as the varied choices of occupations, expand the influence of hospital violence. Conclusions: The fre-quent occurrences of doctor-attacking cases weaken the occupational attitude of medical students and became the obstruc-tion to be a doctor,countermeasures should be taken from multiaspect of society,media,schools and teachers through a va-riety of ways.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation ( RFCA) in premature ven-tricular contractions ( PVCs) by electrophysiological mapping.Methods 60 patients with symptomatic PVCs original from the right ventricular outflow tract underwent RFCA guided by pace mapping and activation mapping,ablation was performed by a catheter with temperature control.The patients were divided into 3 groups,20 cases in each group.The first group ( the combination group ) was the combination with pacing mapping and activation mapping underwent RFCA.The second group ( the activation mapping group) was guided by activation mapping underwent RFCA.The third group( the pacing mapping group) was guided by pacing mapping underwent RFCA.Successful ablation immedi-ate end was that PVCs disappeared and could not be induced by isoproterenol.The success rate,time and composition ratio of the three groups were observed.Results The immediate success rate of ablation of either the combination group or the activation mapping group was higher than that of the pacing mapping group.But the ablation time of the combination group was the shortest.There was no statistical difference between the baseline results of each test group. The cardiac arrhythmia originated from the septum was usual (45/60,75.0%),and the arrhythmia originated from the free wall (15/60,25.0%) was less.The success rate of PVCs ablation of right ventricle was high,and the total success rate was 91.7%(55/60).There was no significant difference in the success rate of the combined mapping and the activation mapping (χ2 =0.084,P>0.05),but were significantly higher than those in the pacing mapping group (χ2 =0.032,0.047,all P<0.05).The ablation time of the pacing mapping group and the combination group were significantly lower than that of the activation mapping group(all P<0.05).Conclusion The effect of the com-bination with pacing mapping and activation mapping is the best.Pacing mapping is better than activation mapping during RFCA of PVCs.

Participators were asked to complete a questionnaire to obtain information on socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle behaviors, and antenatal examination and to provide a urine sample. Finally, 998 pregnant women who provided a urine sample and completed the questionnaire were enrolled. Adopting systematic sampling method, 100 ones were selected randomly among 998 pregnant women. High performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandern mass was used to determine the concentration of five phthalate monoesters in each urine, including mono-n-methyl phthalate (MMP), mono-ethyl phthalate (MEP), mono-butyl phthalate (MBP), mono-benzyl phthalate (MBzP), mono-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP). Based on the measurements and questionnaire data, multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association between the phthalate monoester levels and potential influential factors.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The detection rates of MMP, MEP, MBP, MBzP and MEHP in 100 pregnant urine samples were 94%, 93%, 87%, 83%, 99%, respectively. And the urinary median uncorrected concentrations of MMP, MEP, MBP, MBzP and MEHP in 100 urine samples were 20.56, 17.62, 10.15, 2.03, and 5.12 ng/ml, respectively. Specific gravity-corrected concentration were 20.81, 20.36, 12.88, 2.58, 5.00 ng/ml, respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that: education degree was negatively associated with urinary concentration of MMP, MEP, MBP, MBzP and MEHP, OR (95% CI) were 0.495 (0.253-0.966), 0.380 (0.191-0.755), 0.379 (0.186-0.774), 0.401 (0.196-0.819), 0.373(0.183-0.762), respectively. Participants who had hair permed and dyed during pregnancy had higher urinary level of MBP and MBzP, OR (95% CI) were 12.867 (1.240-133.525), 15.982 (1.367-186.911), respectively; Participants who use cosmetics during pregnancy had higher urinary level of MEP and MBP, OR (95% CI) were 2.977 (1.012-8.757), 4.440 (1.485-13.272), respectively; plastic bottled water consumption was positively associated with urinary concentrations of MEP and MEHP, OR (95% CI) were 3.780 (1.417-10.083), 2.699 (1.039-7.010), respectively; annual household income was negatively associated with urinary concentration of MMP, OR (95% CI) was 0.597 (0.372-0.959); individuals who took medications during pregnancy had higher urinary level of MEHP than non-takers, OR (95% CI) was 4.853 (1.084-21.732).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Pregnant women whose gestation age was less than 16 weeks are generally exposed to phthalate.

The immobilization of U(vi) at the solid-water interface is an important process affecting its transportation and migration in the environment, and is predominantly controlled by the sorption behavior of U(vi). In this study, U(vi) sorption on Fe(ii) and Fe(iii) oxyhydroxides prepared by a coprecipitation method was studied under a range of physicochemical conditions, including pH, ionic strength, presence of humic acid (HA) and temperature. The results showed that the sorption of U(vi) on iron oxyhydroxides is chemical, and that the principal rate limitation is due to intraparticle diffusion. The sorption of U(vi) on iron oxyhydroxides is strongly dependent on pH, but only weakly dependent on ionic strength through the entire pH range studied. Under acidic conditions, the presence of HA increases U(vi) sorption to a large degree, but an inhibiting effect on the sorption of U(vi) can be observed under alkaline conditions, due to the formation of soluble U(vi)-HA complexes. The sorption of U(vi) on iron oxyhydroxides is an endothermic process and favors high temperatures. The surface complexation model suggests three dominant monodentate inner-sphere complexes of [triple bond, length as m-dash]Fe(s)OUO2(+) (log K = 1.65), [triple bond, length as m-dash]Fe(w)OUO2OH(0) (log K = -8.00), and [triple bond, length as m-dash]Fe(w)OUO2(CO3)2(3-) (log K = 17.50), contributing to U(vi) sorption on iron oxyhydroxides over the entire observed pH range.

Nampt/Visfatin/PBEF is a primary, rate-limiting enzyme involved in NAD+ biosynthesis, which serves as a pivotal substance for proteins, and is required for cell growth, survival, DNA replication and repair and energy metabolism. Growing researches have elucidated that it is a pleiotropic protein that functions not only as an enzyme, but also as an adipocytokin, a growth factor, and a cytokine. Additionally, accumulated evidences indicate that Nampt is correlated to various malignant tumors, and complicated mechanisms are proposed to be involved in the carcinogenesis, progression, invasion and metastasis of it, including regulation of energy metabolism and genome instability, promotion of proliferation, angiogenesis, and tumor-promoting inflammation, resistance in cell death and avoidance of immune destruction. APO866 and CHS-828 are recognized inhibitors of Nampt, known to block the intracellular and extracellular NAD+ synthesis pathway. Both of them are currently in clinical trials for the treatment of various malignant tumors and have been shown to represent novel promising antitumor chemotherapeutic agents.

Observing the variation of the high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) and concentration of blood fat in the circa about treatment. Results Treatment group's excellence rate is 70.0 %, total effective rate is 86.7 % after 4 weeks' atorvastatin treatment. It obviously outweighs the control group(43.3 % and 66.7 % ) ( P<0.05 ) without evident adverse effect; TC, LDL-C significantly step clown and HDL-C(P<0.05 ) significantly steps up comparing pretherapy. They also obviously outweigh the control group(P<0.05 and P<0.01 ). The blood serum hs-CRP level obviously decreases( P<0.01 ). Conclusion Atorvastat can not only lower the lipid, but also degrade the concentration of CRP.It has significant clinical therapeutic effect while without evident adverse effect. The early use of atorvastatin can prevent and control ischemic cerebrovascular disease preferably. It can also reduce the genesis of cerebrovascular disease and improve the prognosis of cerebrovascular disease.
ABSTRACT
Proteomic analysis of core needle biopsy (CNB) sample from patient populations is critical to our understanding of human disease,but has been hindered by its particular small size.Here,we present a method for the proteomic analysis of CNB sample based on the two dimensional electrophoresis.Proteins were extracted directly from 3 rat liver CNB specimens and a human prostate CNB sample.respectively.24 cm Immobiline DryStrip (pH 3-10NL) and 12.5% SDS-PAGE were introduced to separate the proteins.Interesting spots were analyzed by MALDI TOF/TOF mass spectrometry after tryptic digestion.With this method,consistent electrophoretic patterns of more than 2 500 protein spots were reproducibly obtained after silver staining,from rat liver CNB specimens.Qualitatively and quantitatively reproducible results also yield when the method was applied to a human prostate CNB sample.57 stochastically selected protein spots were analyzed by MALDI TOF/TOF moss spectrometry.and were identified with high confidence including faint ones.This simple and reproducible approach raises the opportunity of defining key molecular events of human disease pathologies.
