Abstract
Weyl semimetals are crystalline solids that host emergent relativistic Weyl fermions and have characteristic surface Fermi-arcs in their electronic structure. Weyl semimetals with broken time reversal symmetry are difficult to identify unambiguously. In this work, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we visualized the electronic structure of the ferromagnetic crystal Co3Sn2S2 and discovered its characteristic surface Fermi-arcs and linear bulk band dispersions across the Weyl points. These results establish Co3Sn2S2 as a magnetic Weyl semimetal that may serve as a platform for realizing phenomena such as chiral magnetic effects, unusually large anomalous Hall effect and quantum anomalous Hall effect.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of clinical and imaging data of 9 patients with 2019 novel coronavirus infection diagnosed in one fever clinicic in Beijing from January 18, 2020 to February 3, 2020. Results: 5 male and 4 female was included in those 9 patients, whose median age was 36 years, and the age range from 15 to 49 years. 8 of these patients had no underlying disease and one suffered from diabetes. 7 patients had a history of travel to Wuhan City or Hubei Province, and one patient was a medical staff. Two family clustered was found. The incubation period was 1 to 6 days. The clinical manifestations were fever in 8 cases (8/9) , dry cough in 5 cases (5/9) , pharyngalgia in 4 cases (4/9) , fatigue in 4 cases (4/9) , body soreness in 4 cases (4/9) , and blocked or watery nose in 1 case (1/9) . Six patients (6/9) had abnormal cell peripheral blood, of which 3 (3/9) had an increased monocyte count, 2 (2/9) had a reduced lymphocyte, and 1 (1/9) had an increased leukocyte count, while the 3 patients had normal cell blood routines. The median of CRP was 16.3 mg/L, including 5 patients with slightly elevated (5/9) , 4 patients with normal values (4/9) . the results of procalcitonin test were negative in5 patients. Three patients were examined by chest X-ray examination, one of which was normal, one case showed infiltrates of right upper lung, and another showed in right lower lung. All patients underwent chest HRCT. And 7 cases (7/9) showed multiple ground glass exudation, including 5 cases (5/7) involved bilateral lungs, 2 cases (2/7) involved unilateral lung, 3 cases (3/7) with patchy consolidation, and 2 cases (2/9) showed no abnormality. Conclusions: The patents with 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia in this study generally have an epidemiological history. The clinical manifestations are fever and cough. Peripheral white blood cell counts were most normal And PCT were all negative. Chest HRCT manifested as multiple ground-glass opacities with partly consolidation. Some patients had normal chest radiographs but HRCT showed pneumonia. Some patients had no pneumonia on chest HRCT.

Abstract
In this paper, the effect of channel annealing and oxygen flow rate in P-type tin-monoxide (SnO) thin film transistor (TFT) was investigated to reach the process compatibility with n-type oxide-based TFT. The optimized P-type SnO TFT with a small threshold voltage of -0.1 V, a high field-effect mobility of 4 cm² V-1 s-1 and an on/off current ratio of >10² was proposed. From the experimental results, the 150 °C channel annealing revealed a metallic behavior but a semiconductor-like property at a higher 200 °C that was favorable for transistor rectification. Besides, the higher oxygen flow rate was also helpful for improving device mobility and driving current, but shows a slight increase in off-state leakage, which is unavoidable due to the increase of grain in SnO channel.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of allogeneic natural killer (NK) cells in the treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to elucidate the mechanism of NK cells therapy. METHODS Twenty-one patients with primary HCC treated with allogeneic NK cells at the Fifth Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital were followed up for 1 year. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from patient-related donors and cultured in vitro for 15 days and infused to the patients in two consecutive days. Clinical data and laboratory data were collected and analyzed, including survival, clinical features, imaging changes, hematology, immunology, and biochemical indicators to evaluate the safety and efficacy of allogeneic NK cell therapy. The changes of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets after treatment were also analyzed to explore the possible anti-tumor mechanisms. RESULTS (1) Of the 21 patients with primary HCC, 11 patients were treated once, 5 patients were treated twice, and 5 patients were treated 3 times. After allogeneic NK cells infusion, 10 patients had fever, 1 patient had slight hepatalgia and 1 patient had slight headache, no other adverse events occurred including acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). They resolved spontaneously within 8 hours without other treatment. (2) The total disease control rate was 76.2% during one-year follow-up. Among them, the patients with Barcelona clinic liver cancer (BCLC) stage A had a disease control rate of 100%, stable disease (SD) in 10 cases; BCLC stage B patients had a disease control rate of 60%, partial response (PR) in 1 case, and SD 2 in cases; BCLC stage C patients had a disease control rate of 50%, complete response (CR) in 1 case, and 2 cases of PR. (3) The frequencies of NK cells and CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood were significantly lower than that before at 24 hours after treatment, and the frequencies of CD4+ T cells and CD4/CD8 were significantly higher than the baseline. CONCLUSION Allogeneic NK cells have good safety and efficacy in the treatment of primary HCC. The anti-tumor effect of the allogeneic NK cells may play an important role in the activation of the patient's natural immune system and delay disease progression, suggesting that allogeneic NK cells combined with sorafenib may be a very effective treatment for advanced HCC, and further large-sample multicenter randomized controlled clinical trials are needed to validate this result.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of diaphragmatic dysfunction in mechanical ventilated subjects with sepsis and the relationship between diaphragmatic dysfunction and clinical outcomes. Methods: Newly intubated patients with sepsis diagnosed according to "Sepsis-3" were enrolled from January 2017 to October 2017 in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital. Diaphragm thickness was recorded ultrasonographically at end-inspiration and end-expiration when the patients' spontaneous breathing recovered. The diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTF) was calculated as the percentage from the following formula: (Thickness at end-inspiration-Thickness at end-expiration) / Thickness at end-expiration. The subjects were stratified into a diaphragmatic dysfunction group and a non-diaphragmatic dysfunction group based on whether DTF was < 20%. Results: Fifty-three subjects were included, and the prevalence of diaphragmatic dysfunction was 41.5%(22/53). The diaphragm thickness at end-expiration of the 2 groups were similar(t=1.328, P>0.05). A significant difference of diaphragm thickness at end-inpiration was observed between the 2 groups[(2.2±0.4)mm vs. (2.8±0.8)mm, t=3.677, P<0.05]. Ventilation time after inclusion [(10±8)d vs. (6±5)d, t=2.340, P<0.05], mechanical ventilation durations [(15±8)d vs. (11±6)d, t=2.201, P<0.05] and ICU length of stay [(18±8)d vs. (14±7)d, t=2.039, P<0.05]were all significantly longer in the diaphragmatic dysfunction group than in the non-diaphragmatic dysfunction group. There was no significant difference in the mortality between these 2 groups(χ(2)=0.366, P>0.05). Conclusions: Diaphragmatic dysfunction was common in patients with sepsis treated by mechanical ventilation and was the consequence of contractile force damages. Subjects with such diaphragmatic dysfunction showed longer mechanical ventilation durations and ICU stays.

Abstract
At present, several clinical practice guidelines for osteoarthritis have been developed. Although contradictions about some recommendations are still in dispute, large number of clinical practice guidelines recommended core treatments, namely education, weight loss and exercise therapy. Thus, the diagnosis and treatment of primary osteoarthritis should focus on the above three treatments. However, we have to develop the clinical practice guidelines for osteoarthritis in primary hospital, based on the characteristics of osteoarthritis in China, the burden of disease, the health literacy of patients and the clinical decision-making of diagnosis and treatment of primary osteoarthritis in primary medical care.We suggest to formulate guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthritis in primary medical care to regulate primary interventions.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the operation time, estimated blood loss, clinical outcome and correction of lumbar lordosis between oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in patients with degenerative lumbar diseases. Methods: Seventy-three patients who underwent OLIF or TLIF surgery from January 2016 to December 2017 in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Zhejiang University were analyzed in this retrospective case-control study. The patients included 31 males and 42 females, with a mean age of 65.8 years (range, 36-88 years). Of the patients, there were 9 cases of calcified disc herniation, 34 cases of spinal stenosis, 17 cases of degenerative spondylolithesis, 12 cases of degenerative scoliosis and 1 case of isthmic spondylolithesis. According to the type of surgery, patients were divided into OLIF group (34 cases) and TLIF group (39 cases). The operation time, estimated blood loss and transfusion were recorded, pre-and post-operative visual analogue scale (VAS) for back pain and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were evaluated, and pre- and post-operative lumbar lordosis (LL) and fused segment lordosis (FSL) were measured. Student t test were used in comparison between groups. Results: Ten (29.4%) patients in OLIF group and all 39 (100%) patients in TLIF group were supplemented with posterior instrumentation (χ(2)=41.013, P<0.05). The average operation time and estimated blood loss was significantly lower in OLIF group than in those in TLIF group[(163±68) vs (233±79) min, (116±148) vs (434±201) ml, t=4.019, 6.964, both P<0.05]. There was no significant differences in decreases value in VAS and ODI after surgery between the two groups (t=1.716, 0.522, both P>0.05). The correction of LL was 4.0°±10.0° in the OLIF group and 4.2°±6.1° in the TLIF group; the correction of FSL was 4.1°±7.0° in the OLIF group and 5.2°±4.6° in the TLIF group, with no significant differences between the two groups too (t=0.139, 0.805, both P>0.05). The correction of LL was significantly higher in OLIF group with posterior instrumentation than that in TLIF group (9.9°±11.1° vs 4.2°±6.1°, t=2.180, P<0.05). Conclusions: Both OLIF and TLIF can restore LL to some extent, but OLIF has obvious advantages in the operation time and blood loss during surgery. When supplemented with posterior instrumentation, OLIF can achieve better correction of LL than TLIF.

Abstract
Objective: To explore correlation between chest CT score and oxygenation index in patients with acute hydrogen sulphide poisoning, whether CT score can be applied to assess acute lung injury after acute hydrogen sulfide poisoning and provide basis and reference. Methods: The clinic and a series of CT datas of 32 acute hydrogen sulphide poisoning cases were retrospectively analysed and compared, According to GBZ31-2002 (the diagnostic standard of occupational H(2)S acute poisoning) , these patients were divided into 2 grouds including moderate groud and severe groud; The CT score were improved, referenceing the scoring criteria of the chest X-ray; The difference of the CT score and the oxygenation index were analyzed between moderate and severe group in the acute phase and the disperse phase; The correlation between CT score and oxygenation index were analyzed. Results: The CT score in moderate poisoning group were lower than severe group (2.26±1.37 vs 10.44±2.55, 1.34±0.65 vs 4.55±2.45, all P<0.05) in the acute phase and the dissipation phase.The oxygen index of the 19 cases in the acute phase were 307.55±28.29, and the oxygen index of the 8 cases in the dissipation phase was 435.75±37.00; The oxygen index of the 9 cases in the acute phase and the dissipation phase were respectively 193.17±36.41, 347.67±44.49. The oxygen partial pressure and oxygenation index in severe group were significantly lower than those in moderate group (all P<0.01) in the acute phase and the dissipation phase. Pearman correlation analysis showed that the CT score were negatively correlated to the oxygen index in the acute phase and the dissipation phase, respectively (r=-0.97、-0.75, all P<0.01) . Conclusions: The CT score of lung injury and oxygenation index is negatively correlated. The CT score can be used to evaluate the degree of lung injury, and can be used in the evaluation of acute lung injury after acute hydrogen sulfide poisoning.

Abstract
In metals, orbital motions of conduction electrons on the Fermi surface are quantized in magnetic fields, which is manifested by quantum oscillations in electrical resistivity. This Landau quantization is generally absent in insulators. Here, we report a notable exception in an insulator-ytterbium dodecaboride (YbB12). The resistivity of YbB12, which is of a much larger magnitude than the resistivity in metals, exhibits distinct quantum oscillations. These unconventional oscillations arise from the insulating bulk, even though the temperature dependence of the oscillation amplitude follows the conventional Fermi liquid theory of metals with a large effective mass. Quantum oscillations in the magnetic torque are also observed, albeit with a lighter effective mass.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze and summarize the surgical experience of robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for treating renal hilar tumors, and assess the efficacy and safety of this surgery. Methods: The clinical data of 22 renal hilar tumor patients who underwent RAPN in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine between September 2015 and September 2017 was analyzed. The patients included 19 males and 3 females, with an average age of (55.6 ±13.0) years old and the age range was 28-75 years. In 13 cases, the tumors were in left kidney, and 9 in the right. There were 10 large tumors (>4 cm diameter), the average tumor size was (3.7±1.9) cm. Preoperative glomerular filtration rate was normal in all cases. Results: The surgery was successfully finished in all of the cases, with no conversion to open surgery. The mean duration of the surgery was 80-270 min, with an average of (134.7±44.5) min. The blood loss was 80-500 ml, with an average of (135.9±130.7) ml, and none of the cases needed intraoperative blood transfusion. The warm ischemia time was 8-25 min, with an average of (18.2±4.0) min. The postoperative length of hospitalization was 7-23 d, with an average of (11.5±4.1) d. Serious gross hematuria occurred in 1 patient, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation occurred in 1 patient after surgery. The post-operative pathology showed renal clear cell carcinoma in 18 cases, papillary renal cell carcinoma in 2 cases, chromophobe cell carcinoma in 1 case and well differentiated neuroendocrine tumor in 1 case. The tumor resection margin was negative in all cases. Neither local recurrence nor metastasis was observed during a follow-up of 1 to 15 months. Renal function of all the patients was in normal range. Conclusion: RAPN is a safe, useful approach and a minimally invasive operation for treating renal hilar tumors and it owns crucial advantages in complete and accurate resection of the renal hilar tumors and the reconstruction of the kidney.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To select a Y-STR marker system with strong haplotype identification ability, appropriate mutation rate and high compatibility and to assess its forensic application. METHODS The 24 Y-STR loci were tested by self-built fluorescent multiplex system, and the forensic assessment was conducted by 139 pairs of father-son samples collected in Jinan, Shandong province. RESULTS Totally 176 alleles were identified among the 24 Y-STR loci in the sample of 139 unrelated individuals labeled with father, and the gene diversity (GD) distributed between 0.083 7 (DYS645)-0.966 9 (DYS385a/b). According to the 24 Y-STR loci, 139 different haplotypes were detected from 139 unrelated male individuals labeled with father in Han population of Shandong province and with no shared haplotype observed. The overall haplotype diversity (HD) was 1 and the discrimination capacity (DC) was 1. A total of 5 one-step mutations events were observed among the 24 Y-STR loci in 139 pairs of father-son. The average mutation rate was 0.001 5 [95% CI (0.000 5, 0.003 5)]. CONCLUSIONS The system of 24 Y-STR loci shows a strong individual recognition ability and low mutation rate in the population in Jinan, Shandong province, and it has good application value in forensic science.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influence of blue light from visual display terminals (VDTs) on human ocular surface. Methods: Prospective intervention test Thirty volunteers were recruited to watch videos on the same VDT in a dark environment, about 40 cm from the screen. Volunteers were supposed to watch videos in the night shift mode that reduces the amount of blue light for 1 hour. At the same time of the second day, they watched the same videos on the VDT in the normal mode for 1 hour. Tear film break-up time (BUT), corneal fluorescein staining scores, lipid layer thickness (LLT), times of blinking in 19.1 seconds and the ratio of partial blinking in 19.1 seconds were measured before and after each watching. Meanwhile, volunteers were asked to complete a questionnaire about their subjective experience after watching. Results: BUT, corneal fluorescein staining scores and LLT showed no significant decreases in the volunteers after they watched videos on the VDT in the night shift mode [BUT before watching: (8.08±3.15)s, BUT after watching in the night shift mode: (5.31±2.49)s, t=-0.52, P>0.05], but there were significant decreases after they watched videos in the normal mode [BUT after watching in the normal mode: (3.35±1.95) s, t=2.40, P<0.05]. At the same time, there was a significant difference between night shift mode and normal mode[BUT after watching in the night shift mode (5.31±2.49)s, BUT after watching in the normal mode: (3.35±1.95)s, t=3.67, P<0.05). Times of blinking and the ratio of partial blinking in 19.1 seconds were increased modestly after watching in 2 different modes, but there was no significant difference(times of blinking after watching in the night shift mode were 5.55±3.27, times of blinking after watching in the normal mode were 5.93±3.59, t=-0.92, P>0.05). The questionnaire results showed that 70.0%(21) of the volunteers reported mild discomfort including eye dryness, itching, pain, foreign body sensation, redness and asthenopia, 46.7%(14) reported no difference between the 2 modes, 36.7%(11) preferred the night shift mode, 16.6%(5) felt better with the normal mode, and 80.0%(24) would like to try the night shift mode in their daily life. Conclusions: Use of VDTs for a short period of time can lower the stability of tear film. The night shift mode may cause less damage to the ocular surface than the normal mode. High-energy blue light from VDTs can be a risk factor in the ocular surface damage, but the damage is reversible. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2018, 54: 426-431).

Abstract
Nontraumatic acute anterior cord syndrome caused by disc herniation occurring in the cervical spine is rare. A 39-year-old man presented with a sharp burning pain in bilateral upper limbs and progressive paraplegia after a nap with neck extension. He had impaired sensation of pain and temperature with preservation of proprioception and light touch below the C6 level. The magnetic resonance imaging showed focal hyperintensity of the anterior cord at the C5-C7 level and central herniation of C5-6 and C6-7 discs. An anterior discectomy of C5-6 and C6-7 was conducted because of the poor response to a high dose of steroid. A postoperative intensive rehabilitation treatment was also performed. The patient showed significant improvement in motor and sensory function three months postoperatively. Long-term repetitive neck extension should be avoided because it may be a risk for degenerative spondylotic change and cord compression disorders. Surgical intervention should be considered in a patient with anterior cord syndrome associated with nontraumatic cervical disc herniation. (Hong Kong j.emerg.med. 2013;20:389-391)

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver regeneration is dependent on the proliferation of hepatocytes. Hepatic progenitor cells are intra-hepatic precursor cells capable of differentiating into hepatocytes or biliary cells. Although liver progenitor cell proliferation during the regenerative process has been observed in animal models of severe liver injury, it has never been observed in vivo in humans because it is unethical to take multiple biopsy specimens for the purpose of studying the proliferation of liver progenitor cells and the roles they play in liver regeneration. Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is a staged procedure for inducing remnant liver hypertrophy so that major hepatectomy can be performed safely. This staged procedure allows for liver biopsy specimens to be taken before and after the liver begins to regenerate. CASE PRESENTATION The liver progenitor cell proliferation is observed in a patient undergoing ALPPS for a metastatic hepatic tumour. Liver biopsy is acquired before and after ALPPS for the calculation of average number of liver progenitor cell under high magnification examination by stain of immunomarkers. This is the first in vivo evidence of growing liver progenitor cells demonstrated in a regenerating human liver.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the value of evaluating the coronary collateral circulation of chronic total occlusion (CTO) by transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG) and Rentrop grading, and analyze the influencing factors for coronary collateral circulation. Methods: A total of 179 CTO patients admitted to Beijing Anzhen hospital during June 2013 to August 2016 were included in this study.All patients received coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) examination before coronary angiography.Finally, 75 patients (79 vessels) were enrolled.Patients were divided into two groups on the basis of Rentrop classification.The Rentrop 3 was defined as a well-developed coronary collateral circulation group, including 50 CTO vessels, Rentrop 2 or below was defined as poorly-developed collateral circulation group, including 29 vessels.TAG values in patients with various Rentrop grades were analyzed.Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to determine the predictors of collateral circulation. Results: TAG increased consistently in proportion to the angiographic extent of collateral flow (TAG was (-33.6±24.4), (-16.5±15.7) and (-12.8±15.8) HU/10 mm in patients with Rentrop grade 0 or 1, 2 and 3, respectively, P=0.007). Number of good collateral circulation vessels predicted by TAG≥15.6 HU/10 mm was 45(57.0%, 45/79), and 50 (63.3%, 50/79) by Rentrop grade (P=0.383). Prevalence of diabetes was significantly lower (20.8%(10/48) vs. 48.1%(13/27), P=0.01), while history of previous myocardial infarction (MI) was significantly higher (35.4%(17/48) vs. 11.1%(3/27), P=0.02) in patients with good collateral circulation than in patients with poor collateral circulation.The TAG of the good collateral circulation group was significantly higher than in poorly collateral circulation group ((-12.8±15.8) HU/10 mm vs. (-21.2±19.6) HU/10mm, P=0.041). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that history of MI (OR=0.196, 95%CI 0.041-0.936, P=0.041) and diabetes(OR=6.604, 95%CI 1.726-25.274, P=0.006) were independent predictors of coronary collateral circulation. Conclusions: TAG could be used to evaluate status of coronary collateral circulation.Presence of MI history and absence of diabetes history are the two independent predictors of well-developed coronary collateral circulation in CTO patients.

Abstract
Objective: To compare and evaluate the curative effect of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy(LDP) and traditional open distal pancreatectomy(ODP) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Methods: The clinical data of 15 patients treated by LDP and 87 contemporaneous cases treated by ODP from January 2010 to November 2015 was collected, and the curative effect and prognosis of these patients were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The operation time of LDP group was (286.5±48.1) min, significantly longer than that of OPD group(226.6±56.8) min (P<0.05). The operative hemorrhage, postoperative exhaust time, recovery eating time, the whole and postoperative hospitalization time of LDP group were (188.7±108.9) ml, (2.2±1.3) d, (2.9±1.1) d, (13.2±10.4) d and (9.3±8.1) d, respectively, dramatically shorter than those of ODP group (625.2±982.1) ml, (4.3±1.7) d, (5.2±1.8) d, (20.7±8.7) d and (14.9±7.8) d, respectively (all of P<0.05). There were no intraoperative blood transfusion case in LDP group, however, 13 patients in ODP group received intraoperative blood transfusion, without significant difference (P=0.207). Alternatively, 6 cases occurred pancreatic fistula in LDP group, among them, 5 cases were grade A and 1 case was grade B; In ODP group, 17 cases occurred pancreatic fistula, among them 13 cases were grade A, 1 case was grade B and 3 cases were grade C, without significant differences (P=0.130). There were 2 cases of delayed gastric empty, 1 case of pulmonary infection in LDP group. In ODP group, there were 5 cases of postoperative delayed gastric empty, 3 cases of pulmonary infection and 6 cases of intra-abdominal infection, without significant differences (P>0.05). In both LDP group and ODP group, none occurred percutaneous drainage, re-admissions, second operation or perioperative death. Conclusions: Compared to ODP, LDP is much safer and more steady in perioperative periodand operation. Patients of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma received LDP can acquire more benefit and recovery sooner, and LDP is a safe and effective operative method.

Abstract
Objective: To study the expression of microRNA-221(miR-221) and IL-17 in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and their roles in the carcinogenesis of PTC. Methods: Real-time RT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used to detect the expression of miR-221 and IL-17 in 40 cases of PTC, 20 adjacent normal thyroid tissues and 20 cases of nodular goiter, and the correlation with clinicopathologic features was analyzed. Results: (1)The expression level of miR-221 was significantly higher in PTC compared with nodular goiter and adjacent normal thyroid tissue (P<0.05), but not between the latter two (P>0.05). The expression of miR-221 was related to TNM staging, capsular invasion and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05) but not to patients' age, sex, tumor size, multifocality, tumor spread and vascular invasion.(2)Real-time RT-PCR and Western blot showed that higher levels of IL-17 mRNA and IL-17 protein in PTC than nodular goiter and adjacent normal thyroid tissue (P<0.05), but not between the latter two (P>0.05). IHC assay showed positive expression of IL-17 in PTC but not in nodular goiter and adjacent normal thyroid tissue. IL-17 expression was related to TNM staging, capsular invasion and lymph node metastasis, but not to patients' age, sex, tumor size, tumor spread and vascular invasion.(3) Expression analysis revealed a significant correlation between the miR-221 and IL-17 expression (r=0.524, P=0.001). Conclusions: The expressions of miR-221 and IL-17 are significantly higher and positively correlated in PTC, suggesting that miR-221 may regulate IL-17 expression by interacting with a variety of cytokines and inflammatory cells to participate in the development of PTC. miR-221 may be a potential novel prognostic indicator and therapeutic target for PTC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the forensic application value of MPure-12 automatic nucleic acid purification (MPure-12 Method) for DNA extraction by extracting and typing DNA from bloodstains and various kinds of biological samples with different DNA contents. METHODS Nine types of biological samples, such as bloodstains, semen stains, and saliva were collected. DNA were extracted using MPure-12 method and Chelex-100 method, followed by PCR amplification and electrophoresis for obtaining STR-profiles. RESULTS The samples such as hair root, chutty, butt, muscular tissue, saliva stain, bloodstain and semen stain were typed successfully by MPure-12 method. Partial alleles were lacked in the samples of saliva, and the genotyping of contact swabs was unsatisfactory. Additional, all of the bloodstains (20 μL, 15 μL, 10 μL, 5 μL, 1 μL) showed good typing results using Chelex-100 method. But the loss of alleles occurred in 1 μL blood volume by MPure-12 method. CONCLUSIONS MPure-12 method is suitable for DNA extraction of a certain concentration blood samples.Chelex-100 method may be better for the extraction of trace blood samples.This instrument used in nucleic acid extraction has the advantages of simplicity of operator, rapidity, high extraction efficiency, high rate of reportable STR-profiles and lower man-made pollution.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the genetic polymorphism of 23 autosomal STR loci of Huaxia™ Platinum kit in Chinese Han population, and to evaluate the forensic efficiency of Huaxia™ Platinum kit. METHODS A total of 500 unrelated healthy individuals from Han population were genotyped with Huaxia™ Platinum kit. The frequency distribution and the parameter of population genetics of STR loci were analysed statistically. Huaxia™ Platinum kit was compared with other 7 commercial STR kits commonly seen at home and abroad in the number of STR loci, interior label, fluorescent mark, total number of alleles in Ladder and system effectiveness. RESULTS All the 23 autosomal STR loci were consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05). The discrimination power was 0.791 5-0.986 2. The polymorphism information content (PIC) was 0.559 0-0.914 0. The combined discrimination power (CDP) was 1-4.1×10⁻²⁸, while combined probability of paternity exclusion in trio (CPET) and in duo (CPED) were 1-4.1×10⁻¹⁰ and 1-8.4×10⁻⁷, respectively. Compared with other 7 kits, Huaxia™ Platinum kit contained the most number of alleles within the Ladder. CONCLUSIONS All the 23 autosomal STR loci of Huaxia™ Platinum kit with highly polymorphic in Han population can be used for paternity testing and individual identification. Compared with other 7 kits, it appears that Huaxia™ Platinum kit can provide more genetic information.
