Abstract
Objective: To study on the genomic stability of male workers engaged in e-waste dismantling area in Tianjin. Methods: In 2016, an e-waste dismantling area in Tianjin and an area 50 km away from the e-waste dismantling area (no e-waste or other chemical, industrial and agricultural pollution nearby) were selected as the study area and the reference area. Male residents of the study area and male farmers who planted vegetables, fruits, and crops in the reference area were selected as the exposed and reference group by using the convenient sampling method. The exposed group included 146 workers who engaged in e-waste recycling work more than 1 year. The reference group included 121 farmers who never engaged in e-waste recycling work. Questionnaires were used to collect information of all subjects. The semen and peripheral blood were also collected. Trace elements and polychlorinated biphenyl concentration in blood were detected. DNA damage in peripheral blood and sperm was detected, and gene expression was analyzed. DNA damage was assessed using tail DNA% (TDNA%), tail moment (TM) and olive tail moment (OTM) of comet assay. Results: The ages of the exposed group and the reference group were (33.6±12.1) and (33.9±11.9) years old, respectively. The proportions of subjects with exposure time of ≤3, 4-6, ≥7 years were 43% (63 cases), 26% (53 cases) and 21% (30 cases), respectively. The Pb and polychlorinated biphenyl(PCB) concentrations in the exposed group [(90.4±15.3) μg/ml and (101±30) ng/ml, respectively] were higher than those in the reference group [Pb and PCB concentrations were (60.2±8.9) μg/ml, and (2.5±1.4) ng/ml, respectively (both P values <0.05)]. The TDNA%, TM and OTM of peripheral blood and sperm in the exposed group were 5.9%±0.3% and 2.6%±0.90%, 0.93±0.16 and 0.51±0.20, 0.82±0.09 and 0.56±0.07, respectively, which were all higher than those in the reference group [TDNA%, TM and OTM of peripheral blood and sperm were 1.8%±0.2% and 1.9%±0.2%, 0.21±0.04 and 0.32±0.10, 0.19±0.03 and 0.20±0.08, respectively (all P values <0.001)]. The results of gene expression showed that 20 differentially expressed genes, including 13 up-regulated genes and 7 down-regulated genes, were detected in the exposed group compared with the reference group. Conclusion: There are obvious DNA damage and DNA repair gene disorder in male workers of an e-waste dismantling area in Tianjin. The current operation mode brings potential health risks to workers.

Abstract
Objective: To study on the exposure of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination and DNA methylation in male employees in an e-waste dismantling area in Tianjin. Methods: In 2016, an e-waste dismantling area in Tianjin and an area 50 km away from the e-waste dismantling area (no e-waste or other chemical, industrial and agricultural pollution nearby) were selected as the study area and the reference area. Male residents of the study area and male farmers who planted vegetables, fruits, and crops in the reference area were selected as the exposed and reference group by using the convenient sampling method. A total of 60 subjects (30 in each of the exposed group and the reference group) were included. The peripheral blood (5 ml) of the study subject was collected, and the PCB concentration was detected. Eight independent subjects in the exposed group and the reference group were randomly selected by random number table method to detect the methylation level of the promoter region of all gene loci, and the mRNA transcript levels. Results: The PCB concentration in peripheral blood of the exposed group was higher than that of the reference group, and the difference was statistically significant (allP values <0.001). The methylation levels of the promoter region of the exposed group and the reference group showed obvious clustering, and 994 gene loci had different degrees of methylation. Compared with the reference group, there were 391 hypomethylation sites and 553 hypermethylation sites in the exposed group. The proportion of methylation sites in the high CpG-rich region was 59.2% and 48.1%, respectively. The mRNA level of the hypomethylated gene in the exposed group was higher (FAM131A, HBM), and the transcription level of the hypermethylated gene was lower (CAPN15, NFIC, SHISA5, FGF13, GRAMD1A, CLEC3B, LILRB2, DCAF7). The mRNA transcription levels of 10 genes above in the exposed group and the reference group were statistically significant (all P values <0.001). Conclusion: The PCB concentration of peripheral blood in the exposed population of e-waste is high. PCB exposure changes the methylation level of specific genes and affects the mRNA transcription level of some genes.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate blood pressure level, hypertension prevalence and control status in the oldest old in China. Methods: A cross-sectional data set of Chinese Longitudinal and Health Longevity Study (CLHLS) in 2014 was used to investigate the blood pressure level and hypertension prevalence and control status in the oldest old. Results: A total of 4 587 elderly people aged ≥80 years were surveyed with mean age (91.3±7.8) years old, including 1 896 males (41.3%). The mean SBP was (139.5±22.0) mmHg, DBP was (79.6±11.8) mmHg, and the pulse pressure difference was (60.0±18.7) mmHg. The prevalence rate of hypertension was 56.5% (95%CI: 55.1%- 58.0%), the awareness rate of hypertension was 52.2% (95%CI: 50.3%-54.1%), the control rate was 11.5% (95%CI: 10.3%-12.5%), and the control rate of those with awareness of hypertension was 22.2% (95%CI: 19.9%-24.4%). Age, gender, BMI, residence place and living area were related to blood pressure level and control status of the oldest old. Conclusions: The blood pressure level and the prevalence of hypertension in the oldest old in China were different from those in developing countries and adults in China, while similar to that in the younger elderly in China. The prevalence rate of hypertension was high and the control rate was low. Age, gender, BMI, residence place and living area were related with blood pressure level, hypertension prevalence and control status.

Abstract
5-methyl cytosine (5mC) can be oxidized to 5-hydroxymethyl cytosine (5hmC) under the action of TET protein family, and 5hmC plays important roles in the pathogenesis of various tumors including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this study, we evaluated the role of 5mC and 5hmC levels in HL60 AML cells and bone marrow samples from AML patients for KIT gene expression to analyze 5hmC level in AML pathogenesis. Results showed that the expression and 5hmC level increased significantly of the KIT gene but the change of its 5mC level was not obvious after being treated by decitabine (DAC) in HL60 cells. IDH1 and IDH2 expression increased followed by increased KIT 5hmC level. In AML patients with IDH1 or IDH2 mutation, KIT expression and 5hmC were much lower than in those without mutation. The study indicated that the expression of KIT gene was regulated by 5hmC level in HL60 cells, and the 5hmC level was regulated by IDH1 and IDH2.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the prognostic significance of TP53, Bcl-2, Bcl-6, Myc proteins expression by immunohistochemical method (IHC) in diffuse large B cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) . Methods: Clinical and pathologic data of 223 patients with DLBCL hospitalized in Zhejiang First Hospital from March 2009 to June 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The 223 cases, a median age of 56 years old with a male predominance, had shown a 39.0% of TP53 positive expression, 38.6% of Myc, 69.1% of Bcl-2, 56.5% of Bcl-6, and 22.7% of Myc/Bcl-2 double expression. According to Hans' classification, 27.4% were GCB and 72.6% were non-GCB. With a median follow-up of 38 (2-97) months, the 3 and 5 years survival rates were 70% and 66% , respectively. By multivariate analysis, TP53 over-expression and Myc/Bcl-2 double expression were independently associated with poor outcomes. 3-year and 5-year overall survival were 59% and 57% for patients with TP53 positive, 77% and 71% for patients with TP53 negative expression. Patients with non-GCB subtype receiving chemotherapy combined with rituximab had a higher OS than those without rituximab. But rituximab did not improve the prognosis of patients with TP53 positive. Conclusion: Myc/Bcl-2 double expression and TP53 over-expression are poor prognosis for DLBCL patients. Patients with Myc/Bcl-2 double expression have shorter OS. Patients with non-GCB subtype who received chemotherapy combined with rituximab have a better OS than those without rituximab. But rituximab does not improve the prognosis of patients with TP53 positive.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the changes of microcirculation of the bulbar conjunctiva after wearing the contact lens and the relationship between contact lens discomfort and bulbar conjunctiva microcirculation. Methods: Prospective cohort study. The postgraduate students from School of Ophthalmology & Optometry and School of Biomedical Engineering of Wenzhou Medical University were included in this prospective cohort study. The subjects wore soft contact lenses, and the right eye was selected as the experimental eye. The ocular surface disease index (OSDI) questionnaire, Schirmer I and tear break-up time tests were completed before and after wearing the contact lens, and the conjunctival blood flow velocity and microvascular network density were also assessed by using functional slit lamp biomicroscopy. The changes of the indicators after wearing the contact lens were observed and the correlation between the subjective feelings of the wearers and the microcirculation parameters of the bulbar conjunctiva and the main factors affecting the subjective feelings of the wearers were analyzed. Results: Twenty-seven subjects were enrolled in the study, including 8 males and 19 females, aged (22.7±1.6) years. The OSDI score was 11.860± 7.783 before wearing the contact lens and 24.017±12.181 after wearing the contact lens. The comparison before and after wearing the contact lens was statistically significant (t=-4.356, P<0.001). The conjunctival blood flow velocity was (0.534±0.132) mm/s before wearing the contact lens and (0.587±0.134) mm/s after wearing the contact lens. The comparison was statistically significant before and after wearing the lens (t=-2.076, P=0.048). OSDI was positively correlated with blood flow velocity at 1 month after wearing the contact lens (correlation coefficient r=0.383, P=0.048). The test results of the independent variables in the generalized estimating equation model showed that time and blood flow velocity were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions: The blood flow velocity of the bulbar conjunctiva was increased after wearing the contact lens, and the contact lens discomfort of the wearers was positively correlated with the blood flow velocity of the bulbar conjunctiva.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the clinical value of droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) method to detect plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in advanced pulmonary adenocarcinoma. Methods: One hundred and thirty six patients with advanced pulmonary adenocarcinoma diagnosed in the Beijing Chest Hospital were collected from May 2015 to April 2017 for initial treatment. EGFR gene mutation in the plasma ctDNA was detected by both ddPCR and amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) assays. EGFR gene mutation in the tumor tissue was detected by ARMS assay. Patients with EGFR sensitive mutations received first-line oral treatment with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) drugs. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compared the progression-free survival (PFS) in EGFR gene mutated patients detected with different methods. Results: Total of 111 samples (81.6%) were detected with EGFR gene mutations in 136 tumor tissue samples. In the 111 samples, 48 samples were found with exon21 L858R mutation (48/111, 43.2%), 59 samples were found with exon19 deletion mutations (59/111, 53.2%), and 4 cases were found with other mutations (4/111, 3.6%). Using tumor specimens as the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity, and concordance rate of ARMS assay were 58.6%, 96.0%, and 65.4%, respectively; and those in ddPCR assay were 79.3%, 100%, and 83.1%, respectively; the coincidence rate was 83.1% (Kappa=0.685, P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients with EGFR gene mutation detected by both ddPCR and ARMS methods had shortest PFS when compared with those in patients detected positive with a single method of ddPCR or ARMS assay (11.6 moths vs 14.8 months, χ(2)=2.517, P=0.026). Conclusions: ddPCR is a reliable technology with high sensitivity and high specificity to detect EGFR gene mutations in plasma ctDNA in patients with advanced pulmonary adenocarcinoma. Plasma EGFR gene mutation may predict the efficacy of EGFR-TKI drugs.

Abstract
Objective:To explore the effect of butylphthalide on oxidative stress and cognitive function in old obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS)patients.Method:A total of 90 old OSAHS patients with cognitive impairment were choosed with Polysomnography(PSG). By random number table method OSAHS patients were randomly divided into non-invasive ventilator group (n=30), butylphthalide with non-invasive ventilator group(n=30) and treatment group of butylphthalide(n=30). Non-invasive ventilator group was given continuous positive airway pressure treatment for three months, butylphthalide with non-invasive ventilator group accepted oral butylphthalide therapy and continuous positive airway pressure treatment for three months, treatment group of butylphthalide only accepted oral butylphthalide therapy for three months. Cognitive function of three groups wered observed by the Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA) before and after treatment, at the same time, the changes of serum superoxide dismutase(SOD) and malondialdehyde(MDA) were detected by immunoenzyme-linked adsorption.Result:The differences of serum SOD and MDA before treatment among the three groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Compared with before treatment, the level of serum SOD increased and the level of MDA decreased in the three groups (P<0.05). Compared with non-invasive ventilator group after treatment,the level of SOD increased and the level of MDA decreased in butylphthalide with non-invasive ventilator group (P<0.05), the level of SOD decreased and the level of MDA increased in treatment group of butylphthalide (P<0.05). Compared with treatment group of butylphthalide after treatment, the level of SOD increased and the level of MDA decreased in butylphthalide with non-invasive ventilator group (P<0.05); The scores of MoCA on cognitive function before treatment in the three groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). After treatment the scores of MoCA on cognitive function in the three groups were higher than those before treatment (P<0.05). Compared with non-invasive ventilator group after treatment, the scores of MoCA increased in butylphthalide with non-invasive ventilator group (P<0.05),the the scores of MoCA decreased in treatment group of butylphthalide (P<0.05). Compared with treatment group of butylphthalide after treatment, the scores of MoCA increased in butylphthalide with non-invasive ventilator group (P<0.05).Conclution: Butylphthalide can improve the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the serum of old patients with OSAHS, inhibit the oxygen free radical and lipid peroxidation and to a certain extent improve the cognitive function.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the indication, feasibility, and safety of da Vinci robotic surgical system in pharyngolaryngeal tumor resection. Methods: Thirty patients were diagnosed with pharyngolaryngeal tumors and treated with a transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from June 1, 2016 through November 30, 2017. Inclusion criteria included lesions of the oropharynx (n=13), parapharyngeal space (n=7), larynx (n=6) and hypopharynx (n=4). Twenty cases were males and ten cases were females. The median age was 56 years old (ranging from 30 to 81 years). Results: The robotic surgeries were performed successfully on 30 patients. One patient (3.3%) underwent TORS combined with a neck incision. The mean operative time was 40.7 min. The mean blood loss was 15.8 ml. The mean recovery time for oral intake was 5.3 days. The mean hospital stay was 9 days. None of the patients underwent tracheotomy or mandible split. Postoperative pathological examination showed that 18 cases (60.0%) were malignant and 1 case (5.6%) had positive surgical margin. Sixteen cases received neck dissection. No serious complications occurred during or after the operation. There was no local recurrence, metastasis or death except for regional recurrences in 2 cases (11.1%) with a follow-up of 1 to 18 months(median 13 months). Conclusion: Transoral robotic surgery is a feasible, safe and effective surgical procedure with clear operation field, rapid surgical access, minimally invasive surgery, lesser hemorrhage, good cosmetic effect and fast recovery.

Abstract
Objective: Perioperative myocardial infarction remains a severe complication in non-cardiac surgery and is one of the major causes of death. Cardiac troponin (cTn) I elevation is associated with short-term and long-term mortality. The aim of the study was to assess the proportion rate of cTnI elevation and its clinical characteristics among patients admitted for orthopaedic surgery with or without cardiovascular events. Methods: This is a retrospective study including 27 744 patients aged 50 years or older who admitted for orthopaedic surgery from 2009-2015 in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. Results: Two hundred and sixty-five patients [age (71.7±9.9) years] had cTnI level> 0.04 μg/L with 66% (175 patients) of them being female. Among them, 59 patients were isolated troponin rise (ITR) (n=59), 13 were preoperative acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and 193 were postoperative AMI. The proportion of postoperative AMI was 0.69%. Those patients were more likely to have a history of coronary artery disease or hypertension. Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) was more common (93.3%) than ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in these patients. Most of them did not experience ischemic symptoms. Totally 76.7% of the AMI occurred within 3 days of surgery; and the in-hospital mortality rate was 10.4%. Conclusions: Perioperative elevation of troponin is common in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery. Most postoperative AMI were NSTEMI and with absent or atypical ischemia symptoms. Monitoring troponin levels and electrocardiograph in at-risk patients is needed to find most of the AMI.

Abstract
A environment-friendly 3D inorganic heteropoly blue (HPB) Ba2Na2 [HPWV4WVI8O40]·26H2O was directly synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized by means of ICP, IR, XPS, X-ray single crystal and X-ray powder diffraction. It was an efficient heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like catalyst to degrade anionic dye methyl orange under visible light irradiation. It removed cationic dyes methylene blue in neutral environment and rhodamine B in acidic condition via flocculation. The removal efficiency of methylene blue and rhodamine B by flocculation was more than 95%. Moreover, it could degrade methyl orange and flocculate rhodamine B at the same time. For MO and MO-RhB solutions, the degradation rates of MO in 60 min were 85.5% and 49.1%, respectively. Furthermore, the possible pathways for the production of active species in the MO degradation reaction were discussed. This is the first HPB constructed with 4e-reduced phosphotungstate, Ba and Na ions, having the properties of photo-Fenton-like catalyst and flocculant.

Abstract
Medicine News, first published in 1880, was the earliest western medicine journal founded in China, playing an important role in the history of Chinese modern journals and the history of western medicine communication. Today, no original copies of this journal survive in China. Quotations, citations and comments of some newspapers and periodicals on it at the time, reveal that the publication aim of this journal was to disseminate knowledge of western medicine to the Chinese people, that its editorial policy was "showing western medicine is superior to traditional Chinese medicine" , and that its communication of western medicine knowledge was also based on this policy. Medicine News reported on an international medical academic conference held in London for the first time, and it is worth mentioning that thousands of people attended the meeting. Medicine News is known to have promoted western medicine communication in China to an advanced and more up-to-date level. At the same time, its editorial policy and strategy had a great influence on the editing and publication of western medicine journals in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

Abstract
Recently, there have been increasingly hot debates on whether there exists a quantum spin liquid in the Kitaev honeycomb magnet α-RuCl_{3} in a high magnetic field. To investigate this issue, we perform ultralow-temperature thermal conductivity measurements on single crystals of α-RuCl_{3} down to 80 mK and up to 9 T. Our experiments clearly show a field-induced phase transition occurring at μ_{0}H_{c}≈7.5 T, above which the magnetic order is completely suppressed. The minimum of thermal conductivity at 7.5 T is attributed to the strong scattering of phonons by magnetic fluctuations. Most importantly, above 7.5 T, we do not observe any significant contribution of thermal conductivity from gapless magnetic excitations, which puts a strong constraint on the nature of the high-field phase of α-RuCl_{3}.

Abstract
To validate the Pain Resilience Scale (PRS) for use in Chinese patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) pain. According to international guidelines, the original PRS was first translated and cross-culturally adapted to formulate the Chinese version of PRS (PRS-C). A total of 152 patients with TMD pain were recruited to complete series of questionnaires. Reliability of the PRS-C was investigated using internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Validity of the PRS-C was calculated using cross-cultural validity and convergent validity. Cross-cultural validity was evaluated by examining the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). And convergent validity was examined through correlating the PRS-C scores with scores of 2 commonly used pain-related measures (the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale [CD-RISC] and the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia for Temporomandibular Disorders [TSK-TMD]). The PRS-C had a high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.92) and good test-retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.81). The CFA supported a 2-factor model for the PRS-C with acceptable fit to the data. The fit indices were chi-square/DF = 2.21, GFI = 0.91, TLI = 0.97, CFI = 0.98 and RMSEA = 0.08. As regards convergent validity, the PRS-C evidenced moderate-to-good relationships with the CD-RISC and the TSK-TMD. The PRS-C shows good psychometric properties and could be considered as a reliable and valid measure to evaluate pain-related resilience in patients with TMD pain.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the prevalence and control status of diabetes in elderly community residents and related risk factors. Methods: A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted in elderly community residents aged 60-95 years in an urban district of Beijing from September 2009 to June 2010 to collect the general health status of the elderly in the community, the prevalence of diabetes, medication treatment, and laboratory tests were conducted. Results: A sample of 2 102, including 848 males and 1 254 females, were selected through randomized clustering sampling for this study. Most participants had higher educational levels, and the smoking and drinking rates were low among them. The prevalence of diabetes, impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance were 24.8%, 2.5% and 30.6%, respectively. The awareness, treatment and control rates of diabetes were 78.5%, 69.3% and 15.9%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ORs of obesity, family diabetes history for diabetes were 1.42 (95%CI: 1.14-1.76) and 3.42 (95% CI: 2.70-4.35), respectively compared with control group. Also, obesity and family diabetes history were related risk factors for control status of diabetes. Conclusions: The prevalence of diabetes was relatively high, but the control rate was low in elderly community residents. Obesity, unhealthy lifestyles and family diabetes history were related risk factors.

Abstract
Ribosomal protein S9 (RPS9) is an essential functional gene that participates in DNA repair and developmental regulations. A sequence homolog of RPS9 has been found to be upregulated in the protoscoleces (PSCs) of Echinococcus granulosus treated with artemisinin. However, E. granulosus RPS9 (EgRPS9) has not been identified before. In the present study, the 657-base pair (bp) cDNA encoding EgRPS9 was cloned. Amino acid sequence analysis showed that EgRPS9 was similar to the RSP9 proteins from Schistosoma japonicum (SjRPS9, 86%) and Schistosoma mansoni (SmRPS9, 79%). Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that EgRPS9, SmRPS9, and SjRPS9 were clustered together. We detected the EgRPS9 gene and protein expression in PSCs exposed to artesunate (AS) which displayed a dose-dependent reduction in PSC viability for 24 hr. The results showed that the EgRPS9 ratio of the 10-μM AS-treated ( P < 0.01) and 40-μM AS-treated ( P < 0.05) groups were increased from that of the control group. In addition, the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the AS-treated groups increased in a dose-dependent manner compared to the level in the control group. In conclusion, the expression of EgRPS9 could be induced by ROS and might participate in the oxidative damage-based anti-parasite mechanism of AS treatment.

Abstract
Shantou was opened officially in 1861. Willian Gauld, a doctor of British Presbyterian arrived in Shantou in 1863 topractisemedicine and missionary work, and set up the Medical Missionary Hospital. Since then, western medicine began to enter the Chaoshan area. Hereafter, the American Baptists, the Japanese Hakuai Society and the French Catholic Church also entered successively into the Chaoshan area, and the hospitals of western medicine were founded. At the same time, local organizations and individuals of the Chaoshan area also established western medical institutions. Chaoshan people had certain resistance to the transmission of Western medicine, which was obviously less than other places of the mainland. The reasons included not only the church hospital taking some measures to win the people's support, providing human health services, as well as the superiority of western medicine itself, but also the shortage of doctors and medicine in the Chaoshan area and thepeople's tolerance for foreign things. In addition to the provision of medical services in the hospital, the church hospital also set up medical education and trained a group of local medical talents. Although western medicine served as the pioneer of western religion into the Chaoshan area, it also brought advanced medical ideals, technology, equipment, and medical system, laying down the foundation for the development of western medicine in Chaoshan area.

Abstract
Objective: To study the effects of seawater immersion on the inflammatory response and oxygen free radical injury of rats with superficial-thickness scald at early stage. Methods: Seventy Wistar rats were divided into healthy control group (HC, n=7), pure scald group (PS, n=21), scald+ fresh water immersion group (SF, n=21), and scald+ seawater immersion group (SS, n=21) according to the random number table. Rats in group HC did not receive any treatment, while 5% total body surface area superficial partial-thickness scald was made on the back of rats in the latter three groups. Rats in group PS lived freely immediately post burn, while wounds on the back of rats in groups SF and SS were immersed into fresh water and seawater, respectively. Serum and full-thickness skin tissue in the center of wounds on the back of 7 rats in groups PS, SF, and SS at post immersion (injury) hour (PIH) 2, 4, and 6 were collected, respectively, while serum and full-thickness skin tissue at the same position of the 7 rats in group HC were collected at PIH 6 of rats in other groups. Morphology of skin tissue was observed with HE staining; tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) content in serum and skin tissue was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; superoxide dismutase (SOD) content in serum and skin tissue was determined by hydroxylamine method; malondialdehyde content in serum and skin tissue was determined by thiobarbituric acid method. Data were processed with analysis of variance of factorial design, one-way analysis of variance, Welch test, LSD test, and Tamhane test. Results: (1) Epidermal cells of skin tissue of rats in group HC arranged in order and continuously, and the dermis tissue and accessory structures were clear and complete. The skin layer and epidermis of wounds of rats in group PS had no significant change, but the edema of epidermis and dermis and infiltration of inflammatory cells enhanced over time at PIH 2, 4, and 6. The horny layer of epidermis of wounds of rats in group SF reduced, and the edema of epidermis and dermis and infiltration of inflammatory cells enhanced over time at PIH 2, 4, and 6; some epidermal cells disintegrated at PIH 6. The horny layer of epidermis of wounds of rats in group SS significantly reduced, along with the increase in disintegration of epidermal cells, the significant enhancement of edema of epidermis and dermis, and infiltration of a large number of inflammatory cells over time at PIH 2, 4, and 6. (2) Compared with (247±27) pg/mL in group HC, the serum content of TNF-α of rats in group PS significantly increased at PIH 2 and 4 [respectively (675±122) and (367±54) pg/mL, P<0.05 or P<0.01] but significantly decreased at PIH 6 [(147±27) pg/mL, P<0.01]; the serum content of TNF-α of rats in group SF significantly decreased at PIH 6 [(90±24) pg/mL, P<0.01]; the serum content of TNF-α of rats in group SS significantly increased at PIH 2, 4, and 6 [respectively (1 646±58), (2 086±114), and (2 951±58) pg/mL, with P values below 0.01]. Compared with (364±123) U/mL in group HC, the serum content of SOD of rats in group PS significantly increased at PIH 2 and 4 [respectively (489±13) and (447±14) U/mL, with P values below 0.05]; the serum content of SOD of rats in group SF significantly decreased at PIH 6 [(282±13) U/mL, P<0.05]; the serum content of SOD of rats in group SS significantly increased at PIH 2 [(461±23) U/mL, P<0.05] but significantly decreased at PIH 4 and 6 [respectively (226±8) and (205±10) U/mL, with P values below 0.01]. Compared with that in group HC, the serum content of malondialdehyde of rats in groups PS, SF, and SS significantly increased at PIH 2, 4, and 6 (with P values below 0.01). (3) Compared with that in group HC, the TNF-α content in wound tissue of rats in groups PS and SS significantly increased at PIH 2, 4, and 6 (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the TNF-α content in wound tissue of rats in group SF significantly increased at PIH 2 and 4 (with P values below 0.01). Compared with that in group HC, the SOD content in wound tissue of rats in groups PS and SF significantly increased at PIH 2, 4, and 6 (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the SOD content in wound tissue of rats in group SS significantly increased at PIH 2 and 4 (with P values below 0.01). Compared with that in group HC, the malondialdehyde content in wound tissue of rats in groups PS, SF, and SS significantly increased at PIH 2, 4, and 6 (with P values below 0.01). Conclusions: Seawater immersion can enhance the inflammatory response and oxygen free radical injury of wounds and the whole body of rats with superficial partial-thickness scald at early stage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize the CT features of ankle fracture and to analyze the relationship between the CT images and the most commonly used ankle fracture classification. METHODS With 369 cases of adult ankle fractures analyzed retrospectively, the CT images 1 cm above the ankle joint and its characteristics, the Danis-Weber classification of ankle fracture were studied, and so was the relationship between CT images and the fracture classification. RESULTS There were 8 forms of CT images. With a, b, and c referred to the fibular fracture, posterior malleolar fracture and interosseous tibiofibular ligament (IOL) rupture respectively. 369 CT imges had 40 cases of 0 degree injury (fibula, posterior malleolus, IOL all intact); 60 cases of Ia degree injury (fibular fracture, posterior malleolus and IOL intact), 3 cases of Ib degree injury (fibula intact, posterior malleolus fracture, IOL intact), 26 cases of Ic degree injury (fibula and posterior malleolus intact, IOL rupture); 163 cases of IIab degree injury (fibula and posterior malleolus fractures, IOL intact), 6 cases of IIac degree injury (fibular fracture, posterior malleolus intact, IOL rupture), 61 cases of IIbc degree injury (fibula intact, posterior malleollar fracture, IOL rupture); 10 cases of III degree injury (fibular fracture, posterior malleollar fracture and IOL rupture). According to the Danis-Weber classification, there were 18 cases of type A, 238 cases of type B, 94 cases of type C, and 19 cases without fibular fracture. The prevalence of IOL rupture were 0, 5.9%, and 88.3% in types A, B, and C respectively. There was a correlation between the CT image and Danis-Weber classification, the incidence of IOL rupture was changed with the severity of Danis-Weber classification, and the difference was statistically significant after the rank correlation test (Spearman R=0.781, P<0.001). IOL rupture not determined by the fracture classification was found with the CT images and the incidence was 5.9%. CONCLUSION Cross-sectional CT images 1 cm above the ankle joint can clearly determine the IOL injury preoperatively with a good correlation with the Danis-Weber fracture classification, IOL rupture unrecognized with the fracture classification can also be noticed with the CT image.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic liver diseases in clinical practice, and the spectrum of NAFLD includes nonalcoholic simple fatty liver, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and liver cirrhosis. Some patients may even progress to hepatocellular carcinoma. At present, the gold standard for the diagnosis of NAFLD is liver biopsy, but since this is an invasive examination and has high costs, its application is limited in clinical practice. More and more studies have focused on noninvasive diagnostic methods for NAFLD, including serological markers, fatty liver predictive model, and imaging examinations. Emerging diagnostic techniques, including genomics, proteomics, glycomics, and metabolomics, also play an important role in the diagnosis of NAFLD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish cell lines with inducible replications of wild-type or rtE218G, an adefovir-dipivoxil-resistant HBV mutant. METHODS Tetracycline transactivator (tTA) was stably transfected into human liver cell line HepG2.1.2 folds of full-length of wild-type or rtE218G-mutated HBV genomes were cloned into the pTRE vector and cotransfected into the tTA-expressing cells with a linear selection marker for hygromycin, respectively. After hygromycin screening, clones with the highest levels of tetracycline-inducible HBV replications were selected. The obtained cell lines were further used to evaluate the in vitro sensitivity of rtE218G mutant to adefovir-dipivoxil. RESULTS HepG2-off23, a HepG2-derived cell line with stable tTA expression was established. PTRE-based plasmids carrying wild-type HBV (pTRE-HBV-WT) or rtE218G mutant (pTRE-HBV-E218GHBV) were constructed. After stable transfection of the HBV constructs into HepG2-off23 cells, cell lines with robust and tetracycline-inducible replications of wild-type HBV (HepG2-tetHBV-WT) and rtE218G-mutated HBV (HepG2-tetHBV-E218G) were selected. In the two cell lines, high levels of viral core protein and DNA replication could be detected after 144 hours of culture, which could be potently inhibited when tetracycline was added into the medium. At the presence of 1 000 ng/ml of tetracycline, HBV replication intermediates were hardly detected by Southern blotting experiments. HBV mutant with rtE218G could independently confer resistance to adefovir in vitro. IC50 for HBV rtE218G mutant of adefovir was (6.49±0.09) μmol/L, which was significantly higher than that for wild type virus (2.49±0.05) μmol/L. CONCLUSION Wild-type and the rtE218G HBV mutant could be expressed and efficiently regulated by tetracycline in the established new cell lines. These cell lines could be useful tools for the HBV virology and anti-HBV drug screening studies.

Abstract
This paper presents the design and preliminary evaluation of small-pixel CdTe gamma ray detectors equipped with a hybrid pixel-waveform (HPWF) readout system for gamma ray imaging applications with additional discussion on CZT due to its similarity. The HPWF readout system utilizes a pixelated anode readout circuitry which is designed to only provide the pixel address. This readout circuitry works in coincidence with a high-speed digitizer to sample the cathode waveform which provides the energy, timing, and depth-of-interaction (DOI) information. This work focuses on the developed and experimentally evaluated prototype HPWF-CdTe detectors with a custom CMOS pixel-ASIC to readout small anode pixels of 350 μm in size, and a discrete waveform sampling circuitry to digitize the signal waveform induced on the large cathode. The intrinsic timing, energy, and spatial resolution were experimentally evaluated in this paper in conjunction with methods for depth of interaction (DOI) partitioning of the CdTe crystal. While the experimental studies discussed in this paper are primarily for evaluating HPWF detectors for small animal PET imaging, these detectors could find their applications for ultrahigh-resolution SPECT and other imaging modalities.

Abstract
Objective: To systematically evaluate the influencing factors on quality of sleep among community elderly population aged ≥60 years in China. Methods: Literature review was conducted using databases of PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI and Wanfang to collect data regarding influencing factors on quality of sleep. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis were performed to pool the eligible studies. Results: Sixteen cross-sectional studies were included. Data from both qualitative and quantitative analysis showed that the elderly population who had ever married (OR=0.72, 95%CI: 0.52-0.98) or lived with other people (OR=0.78, 95%CI: 0.70-0.87) had better quality of sleep but it was worse when with chronic diseases (OR=2.24, 95%CI: 1.39-3.61). The effects of age and sex on the quality of sleep in the elderly was not yet conclusive. Studies on life style, social support and psychological factors appeared scarce. Conclusion: The protective factors on quality of sleep among community elderly population aged ≥60 years in China appeared as: ever had married or lived with others while chronic diseases were risk factors in reducing the quality of sleep.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the clinicopathological features and differential diagnosis of metanephric adenoma (MA). METHODS The clinicopathological data of 16 cases with MA diagnosed and treated in Peking University First Hospital from 2004 to 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, and the clinical characteristics, pathologic parameters, differential diagnosis, treatment options and prognosis of MA were analyzed with literature review. RESULTS The patients included 10 females and 6 males. The age of patients ranged from 14 to 83 years (mean=33.7 years). The partial nephrectomy was carried out for most patients. All cases were located in renal codex with 3 growing into the renal sinus. Histologically, the tumor was composed of tubules, papillary or glomeruloid structures and psammoma bodies were focally seen. Immunohistochemical study showed that all the cases expressed vimentin, and 94% cases expressed CD57, 63% WT1, 75% AE1/AE3, 19% cytokeratin 7 (CK7) and 13%α-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR), and negative expressions for MA included CD10, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and CD56. Follow-up information from 1 to 125 months was available in all the patients; and none of the patients showed any evidence of recurrence and metastasis. CONCLUSION The benign tumor characteristics of MA are not obvious for preoperative imaging diagnosis, and the diagnosis of MA should be based on the unique pathological features. Positive immunostain of CD57 is a useful indicator for MA diagnosis and differential diagnosis. The partial nephrectomy surgical treatment can achieve good clinical cure with good prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients. METHODS The clinical data of 23 MCL patients were retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemical stain was performed to detect the protein expressions of Mcl-1, pNF-κB p65 and 14-3-3ζ of MCL patients to analyze its prognostic factors. RESULTS Among 23 MCL patients, there were 17(73.9%) patients with IPI 0-2 (low risk group) and 6(26.1%) patients with IPI 3-4. Only the rate of 2y-progression-free survival (PFS) of group IPI 0-2 was superior to that of group IPI 3-4 patients (47.1% vs 0, P=0.049); There were 16 (69.5%) patients with MIPI < 5.7, whose rates of overall response rate (ORR), 2y overall survival (OS) and PFS were better than those of the ones with MIPI ≥ 5.7(ORR: 81.3% vs 33.3% P=0.032; OS: 68.8% vs 16.7% P=0.041; PFS: 50% vs 0, P=0.040 respectively). The rates of ORR, 2y-OS and 2y-PFS (100.0%, 80.0% and 70.0%) of patienets received regimen R+CHOP(E) were all superior to those (38.5%, 30.8% and 7.7%) of ones received regimen CHOP(E) (P=0.002, P= 0.024, P=0.003, respectively). Among 12 patients, 2 out of 6 cases with Mcl-1 positive expression achieved good response (CR+PR) and 2y-OS, 1 case 2y-PFS; All 6 cases with Mcl-1 negative expression achieved good response (CR+PR) and 2y-OS, 5 cases 2y-PFS. 3 out of 6 cases with pNF-κB p65 positive expression achieved good response (CR+PR) and 2y-OS, 1 case 2y-PFS; 5 out of 6 cases with pNF-κB p65 negative expression achieved good response (CR+ PR) and 2y-OS/PFS. 5 out of 8 cases with 14-3-3ζ positive expression achieved good response (CR+PR), 4 cases 2y-OS, and 3 cases 2y-PFS. 3 out of 4 cases with 14-3-3ζ negative expression achieved CR, 4 cases 2y-OS, and 3 cases 2y-PFS. CONCLUSION MCL patients had high heterogeneity. MIPI has better prognostic significance than IPI. R+CHOP(E) as first line treatment improved the rates of OS/PFS. The expressions of Mcl-1, pNF-κB p65 and 14-3-3ζ proteins in MCL might be related to prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence of fall in the old farmers of Miyun county in Beijing. METHODS The old farmers who lived in Jugezhuang and Fengjiayu townships of Miyun county were selected for a questionnaire survey to collect the information about the incidence of fall and their health status. RESULTS A total of 2 397 old farmers, including 967 males and 1 430 females, were surveyed. Fall occurred in 347 old farmers(14.5%). The difference in the incidence of fall was significant between males(9.6%)and females(17.8%). A total of 282 falls occurred in courtyards, 45 falls occurred in field/hilly areas. Among the falls occurred, 216(27.2%)led to injuries. The most common site of injuries was hip(45 falls). Logistic regression analysis showed that physical exercise and high income were protective factors, but difficult standing up and walking, visual problem and stroke were the risk factors. In the males, the special risk factor was mid cognitive impairment, and in the females, the special risk factor was urinary incontinence, but afternoon nap was a protective factor. CONCLUSION The incidence of fall in the rural community was relatively high with distinct area distribution, which has caused serious influence on the mental and physical health of the elderly.

Abstract
In this paper, a plate confrontation method was used to isolate bacteria antagonistic to the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea from samples collected from China's Dalian Bay. The antagonist strain LM-031 was obtained. We studied this strain's morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics and analyzed its 16S rDNA sequence. We compared the effects of different culture conditions (type of media, carbon and nitrogen source, incubation temperature and time, and initial pH value) on the inhibitory effect against M. grisea. Strain LM-031 was preliminarily identified as Bacillus pumilus and was found to strongly inhibit M. grisea, especially when grown on BPY medium at an initial pH 7 for 72 h at 30°C. The optimum carbon and nitrogen sources for growth were lactose and peptone, respectively. The most suitable carbon and nitrogen sources for production of active substances were glucose and NH4Cl, respectively. Our results show that development and utilization of B. pumilus LM-031 has great potential for biological control of M. grisea.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It has been demonstrated that anesthetics exposure may lead to neurocognitive impairment in developing brain of animal models. However, for the limitation that the animal models cannot fully mimic the dose and duration in clinical settings especially for dental general anesthesia, the clinical significance of anesthetics exposure on developing central nervous system remains undetermined. Therefore, we conducted the current study in order to observe the fluctuation of intelligence quotient (IQ) after the administration of dental general anesthesia comparing to that before surgery. We conducted the current study in order to observe the fluctuation of intelligence quotient (IQ) after the administration of dental general anesthesia compared with that before surgery. METHODS Thirty two patients, ASA I, who were exposed to dental general anesthesia in Department of Pediatric Dentistry Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology, aged 4 to 6.5 years, were enrolled in this prospective study. Patients with severe learning difficulties or communication disorders were excluded. Written and informed consent was obtained from each patients' family which was fully explained of the purpose and method of study. Their intelligence quotients were evaluated with the Chinese Wechsler young children scale of intelligence (Urban version) before and 2 weeks after dental anesthesia. They were treated by experienced pediatric dentists and the sevoflurane, propofol and nitrous oxide were used for general anesthesia by anesthetist. Articaine hydrochloride and epinephrine tartrate injections were used for their pulp treatment or extraction. The examiners and scorers for IQ had technical training in the test administration. All the patients were tested by the same examiner and with standardized guide language. Each subtest was scored according to the tool review. Verbal IQ and performance IQ consisted of relevant 5 subtests and full scale IQ. Statistical analyses were performed by SPSS 18.0. All the scores of subtests and 3 types of IQ were expressed as mean±standard deviation. Paired two-tailed t test was applied and P<0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. RESULTS The results of intelligent assessment from 28 subjects were collected. The anesthetic time was (163.4±32.6) min and the number of treated teeth was 12.1±2.3, mean age (4.60±0.41) years; age range=4.04 to 5.44 years. Among the patients, there were 13 girls and 15 boys. There was no significant difference in gender distribution. The postoperative full IQ (128.46±10.85) was higher than that before surgery (124.64±11.46, P= 0.017). We found that the elevation of performance IQ, to a large extent, contributed to this change in full IQ (P= 0.007). Correspondingly, there was no statistical difference in the verbal IQ, which was 119.68±11.74 to 120.21±15.61 (P=0.854). CONCLUSION Dental general anesthesia has no negative effect on the intelligence of preschool children, who were treated under general anesthesia by sevoflurane, propofol and nitrous oxide for 2 to 4 hours. The full IQ and performance IQ were slightly enhanced after treatment which can be explained by the memory effect.

Abstract
This study was designed to establish and validate a set of autoverification methods for hematology analysis. One thousand and twenty-four samples were selected from Shanghai Ruijin Hospital and 999 from Beijing Hospital, China. False positive, false negative and autoverification pass rates were verified and the rules were then adjusted and confirmed according to the verification results. After confirmation, at least 10,000 sample cases were selected from Shanghai Ruijin Hospital, Beijing Hospital and China Armed Police General Hospital and checked automatically. The differences in the autoverification pass rate and average report delivery time before and after the application of the autoverification methods were compared between the three hospitals. Preliminary validation results showed that the false negative rates of the Shanghai Ruijin Hospital and Beijing Hospital were less than 2%. The false positive rates of these two hospitals were high, close to 18%. After rule adjustment, the false negative rate was basically the same as before adjustment, but the false positive rate declined obviously while the pass rate of autoverification improved significantly. The autoverification pass rates of the three hospitals were 76.4%, 85.1% and 84.2%, respectively. The turnover time (TAT, time from receipt of sample to report of the result) of the three hospitals decreased by 4.1 min, 8.8 min and 10.2 min, respectively. Autoverification systems using a Mindray BC-6800 auto hematology analyzer and labXpert were confirmed as being effective in reducing TAT and enhancing working efficiency on the premise of ensuring low false negative rate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the clinicopathological features and differential diagnosis of metanephric adenoma (MA). METHODS The clinicopathological data of 16 cases with MA diagnosed and treated in Peking University First Hospital from 2004 to 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, and the clinical characteristics, pathologic parameters, differential diagnosis, treatment options and prognosis of MA were analyzed with literature review. RESULTS The patients included 10 females and 6 males. The age of patients ranged from 14 to 83 years (mean=33.7 years). The partial nephrectomy was carried out for most patients. All cases were located in renal codex with 3 growing into the renal sinus. Histologically, the tumor was composed of tubules, papillary or glomeruloid structures and psammoma bodies were focally seen. Immunohistochemical study showed that all the cases expressed vimentin, and 94% cases expressed CD57, 63% WT1, 75% AE1/AE3, 19% cytokeratin 7 (CK7) and 13%α-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR), and negative expressions for MA included CD10, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and CD56. Follow-up information from 1 to 125 months was available in all the patients; and none of the patients showed any evidence of recurrence and metastasis. CONCLUSION The benign tumor characteristics of MA are not obvious for preoperative imaging diagnosis, and the diagnosis of MA should be based on the unique pathological features. Positive immunostain of CD57 is a useful indicator for MA diagnosis and differential diagnosis. The partial nephrectomy surgical treatment can achieve good clinical cure with good prognosis.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to examine the expression level of peripheral mir-21 in multiple myeloma (MM) patients and to determine its clinical significance. MM patients (30), monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) patients (14), and normal controls (20) were recruited to determine the serum level of β2-MG, IgA and IgM, IgG, λ, κ, TP, ALB, Hb, LDH, and Ca(2+). Gene expression of mir-21 was quantified by SYBR green real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. We found that the expression level of serum mir-21 in the MM group was significantly higher than the MGUS group and the NC group (P < 0.01). According to the ISS installment, the level of mir-21, lgG, κ, and ALB in the MM group in stage I differed from that in stages II and III. The level of IgA, β2-MG in stage III was higher as compared with stage I and II (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01).The levels of mir-21, κ, (κ+λ), IgG, (IgG + IgA + IgM), and β2-MG in MM patients were positively correlated with ALB (P < 0.01). Based on the results, miR-21 plays an important role as an oncogene. Mir-21 may be important in the occurrence, development, and disease prognosis of MM.

Abstract
Non-point source pollution is a significant environmental issue in small watersheds in China. To study the effects of rainfall on pollutants transported by runoff, rainfall was monitored in Xueyan town in the Taihu Lake Basin (TLB) for over 12 consecutive months. The concentrations of different forms of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), and chemical oxygen demand, were monitored in runoff and river water across different land use types. The results indicated that pollutant loads were highly variable. Most N losses due to runoff were found around industrial areas (printing factories), while residential areas exhibited the lowest nitrogen losses through runoff. Nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) and ammonia nitrogen (NH4-N) were the dominant forms of soluble N around printing factories and hotels, respectively. The levels of N in river water were stable prior to the generation of runoff from a rainfall event, after which they were positively correlated to rainfall intensity. In addition, three sites with different areas were selected for a case study to analyze trends in pollutant levels during two rainfall events, using the AnnAGNPS model. The modeled results generally agreed with the observed data, which suggests that AnnAGNPS can be used successfully for modeling runoff nutrient loading in this region. The conclusions of this study provide important information on controlling non-point source pollution in TLB.

Abstract
We investigated the killing effect of low-intensity ultrasound combined with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) on the rat osteosarcoma cell line UMR-106. Logarithmic-phase UMR-106 cells were divided into a control group, ultrasound group and 5-ALA group. The cell apoptotic rate, production of reactive oxygen species, and the change in mitochondrial membrane potential were analyzed by flow cytometry; ultrastructural changes were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Using low-intensity ultrasound at 1.0 MHz and 2.0 W/cm(2) plus 5-ALA at a concentration of 2 mM, the apoptotic rate of the sonodynamic therapy group was 27.2 ± 3.4% which was significantly higher than that of the control group, ultrasound group, and 5-ALA group (P < 0.05). The production of reactive oxygen species was 32.6 ± 2.2% and the decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential was 39.5 ± 2.5%. The 33342 staining showed nuclear condensation and fragmentation in the ultrasound group and 5-ALA group. Structural changes in the cell membrane, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and other organelles observed by transmission electron microscopy included formation of apoptotic bodies. The killing effect of low-intensity ultrasound combined with 5-ALA on UMR-106 cells was significant. Cell apoptosis played a vital role in the killing effect, and the mitochondria pathway contributed to the apoptosis of UMR-106 cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the prognosis of advanced liver cancer patients treated with CIK-DCs and the mechanism of apoptosis of HEPG 2 cells. METHODS 67 patients were enrolled in the study. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were separated, of which adherent PBMCs used granulocyte 2 macrophage colony2 stimulating factor (GM2CSF), tumor necrosis factor 2α (TNF2α), and interleukin 24 (IL24) to induce DCs, which were sensitized with antigen of autologous or exogenous cancer cells to obtain Ag-DCs; suspended PBMCs used interferon 2γ (IFN2γ), IL-2, and CD 3 monoclonal antibody (CD3mAb) respectively, to induce CIK cells. DCs and CIK cells were cultured together. Flow cytometry was used to detect the phenotypes of DCs and CIK cells, and the blood retransfused into patients. Western blot and flow cytometer were used to analyze the growth cycle of HepG 2 cells and the expression of BAX and PCNA. RESULTS No patients underwent complete remission, 5 obtained partial remission and 29 had stable disease. Of the 31 patients whose lesions could not be evaluated, 17 received effective treatment, showing that the immune response was enhanced. In vitro laboratory experiments revealed that DC-CIK cells markedly affected the growth cycle of HepG 2 cells. Analysis showed that DC-CIK cells enhanced the gene expression of BAX and inhibited the activity of PCNA. CONCLUSIONS Co-cultured DCs and CIK cells inhibit the proliferation and migration of liver cancer cells by down-regulating PCNA and up-regulating BAX. This approach may be an effective method to treat advanced liver cancer.

Abstract
It remains unclear how the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) might respond to mechanical stretch. To investigate specific miRNA expression in stretched PDLSCs, we used a Flexcell® FX-5000™ tension system to achieve external mechanical stimulation. Then, a custom-designed microarray assay was performed to investigate and describe the genome-wide differential expression of miRNAs in normal and stretched PDLSCs. Finally, we implemented integrative miRNA target prediction and network analysis approaches to construct an interaction network of the key miRNAs and their putative targets. We found that stretching induced morphological changes and increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osteocalcin (OCN), and bone sialoprotein (BSP) expression in PDLSCs. The microarray data showed that 53 miRNAs were differentially expressed with stretching. With an interaction network, we examined the connections between 10 selected key miRNAs and their putative target genes, which were related to mechanical force. The results from the interaction network provided a basis for postulating the functional roles of miRNAs in PDLSCs.
