ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the safety and feasibility of transumbilical single channel laparoscopic cryp-torchidopexy with conventional instruments in treatment of cryptorchidism in children. Methods Thirty-five children with cryptorchidism were treated by transumbilical single channel laparoscopic cryptorchidopexy with conventional instru-ments from November 2017 to March 2018 at Department of Pediatric Surgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University. Clinical data were recorded including the general information,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative testicular position and postoperative complications,etc. Results All 35 patients completed the cryptorchidopexy in one operation. Among those 35 patients,28 patients had unilateral lesions and 7 patients had bilateral lesions,with a total of 42 sides. Twenty - six patients were of groin type( 33 sides),9 patients abdominal type( 9 sides). The average operation time was(40. 4 ± 8. 2)min for unilateral lesion,and(62. 5 ± 15. 3)min for bilateral le-sions;the average intraoperative blood loss was(3. 0 ± 1. 8)mL;and the average postoperative hospital stay was(6. 4 ± 2. 1)h. Testis of 32 patients(40 sides)were fixed in the middle and bottoms of the scrotum,and testis of 2 patients (2 sides)were fixed on the top of the scrotum. One case had poor healing of naval incision,which was recovered in 1 week after dressing change. There were no postoperative complications such as scrotum hematoma,infection of incision, testicular epididymitis,testicular necrosis,testicular retraction or testicular atrophy,etc. No obvious visible scar was found in the abdomen review 2 weeks postoperatively,with the incidence of complications was 2. 9%(1/35 cases). Conclusions Transumbilical single channel laparoscopic cryptorchidopexy with conventional instruments in treatment of cryptorchidism is characterized by small trauma,quick recovery,low complication rate and visible scar free result, which is worthy of clinical promotion,but the operation is relatively complex and the correct procedures are required.
ABSTRACT
Wilms＇tumor is a common malignant tumor in children. most patients have a good prognosis,but its pathogenesis is not yet clear. In recent years,some non_coding RNAs have been found to have a close relationship with the development of this tumor. Some non_coding RNAs may serve as biomarkers for the diagnosis,predictors indica_tors,or targets for gene therapy. This paper studied the relationship between some non_coding RNAs associated with nephroblastoma is now available.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of Bucinnazine Hydrochloride on the pain behavior and the expression of caveolin-1 (Cav-1) in the anterior cingulate cortex of neuropathic pain mice.Methods 64 adult male Kunming mice (20-25g) were divided randomly into 4 groups with 16 in each group:Sham+BH(Bucinnazine Hydrochloride) group,Sham+NS (Normal Saline) group,CCI+ BH group and CCI+ NS group.The corresponding drugs were administered by intraperitoneal injectionfrom the forth day after CCI once a day for three days.Paw thermal withdrawal latency was measured by Hargreaves methods.Mechanicalwithdrawal threshold was assayed by electronic dolorimeter.c-Fos protein in anterior cingulate cortex was detected by immunohistochemistry staining and the expression of t-Cav-1,p-Cav-1was detected by Western blot.Results Bucinnazine Hydrochloride administered by intraperitoneal injection(0.1 mg/10 g,mice) alleviated thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia of CCI mice.Compared with the forth day (4.92±0.41) s of CCI+BH group,paw withdrawal latency on the fifth day(5.92±0.61) s was increased(P＜0.05),and on the sixth day(7.93±0.91) s and seventh day (9.12±0.69)s were increased more(P＜0.01,P＜0.01).The paw withdrawal mechanical threshold on the sixth and seventh day of CCI+BH group mice((2.54 ±0.41)g,(3.68±0.61)g) were increased significantly (P＜0.01,P＜0.01)compared with the forth day(1.55± 0.31)g.Immunohistochenistry results showed that the expression of c-Fos decreased after treated with Bucinnazine Hydrochloride in the anterior cingulate cortex of CCI mice(P＜0.001).Western Blotting showed that the expression of t-Cav-1 (1.97±0.31) and p-Cav-1 (0.11 ±0.09) in the anterior cingulate cortex of CCI +BH group mice decreased compared with that of in CCI+NS group mice(t-Cav-1:2.87±0.15,p-Cav-1:0.48± 0.09) (P＜0.01,P＜0.01).Conclusion Bucinnazine Hydrochloride can alleviate both thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia of neuropathic pain of mice,and reduce the expression of c-Fos,t-Cav-1,p-Cav-1 in the anterior cingulate cortex of neuropathic pain mice.
ABSTRACT
As the pathogenic bacterial virulence and avirulence factors, transcription activator like (TAL) effectors of Xanthomonas can resulted in the host diseases or resistance responses. TAL effectors can specifically bind the target DNA of host plant with a novel protein-DNA binding pattern in which two amino acids recognize one nucleotide. The complexities of TAL-DNA binding have the feasibility in use of gene therapy through homologous recombination and site-specific mutation. By using the molecular recognition code between TAL-effectors and host target genes, we can exploit both the susceptible and resistance genes; broad spectrum resistance induced by multiple TAL effectors could also be manipulated. Deeper insight in the area of protein-DNA binding mechanism will benefit the application in the biomedical engineering and agricultural engineering. This article reviews the findings and functions of TAL effectors, the binding specificity and recognition code between TAL-effectors and host target genes. The possible applications and future prospects of the molecular recognition code have been discussed.
