Objective To investigate the association of eIF4E and MMP-9 gene polymorphisms with psoriasis vulgaris in Han population of Shandong province.Methods A population based case-control association study was carried out in 188 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 280 healthy human controls of Han nationality from Shandong province.Taqman SNP genotyping assay was performed to assess three SNPs,including rs4810482 and rs3918254 in MMP-9 gene and rs11723037 in eIF4E gene.Pairwise linkage disequilibrium was evaluated by using Haploview 4.2 software,and the frequencies of alleles and genotypes were analyzed by using Plink 1.07 software.Results The frequency of rs4810482 T allele was significantly lower in patients with psoriasis vulgaris than in the normal human controls(OR =1.49,95％ CI:1.12-1.99,P ＜ 0.01),and the significant difference still remained under recessive and dominant model.Bioinformatic analysis revealed that the rs4810482 altered the binding site of transcription factor,while no association was observed between psoriasis and either of the other two SNPs.Conclusions The SNP rs4810482 located at the upstream regulatory region of MMP-9 gene is significantly associated with psoriasis,hence,MMP-9 gene may be a susceptibility gene for psoriasis in Han population of Shandong province.

BACKGROUND:There is no unified method for treatment of intertrochanteric fracture. Previous dynamic hip screw fixation has some shortcomings, and is gradual y replaced by intramedul ary nail fixation. interTan is a compression interlocking intramedul ary nail designed by Smith Nephew in USA according the characteristics of intertrochanteric fracture. Unique design of pressurized screw thread has control able linear pressure. Moreover, it has the stability of Z-effect anti-rotation.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the clinical therapeutic effects and superiority of interTan compression interlocking intramedul ary nail for intertrochanteric fracture.
METHODS:A total of 60 patients with intertrochanteric fracture undergoing interTan compression interlocking intramedul ary nail in the Department of Orthopedics, Beijing Chaoyang Emergency Rescue Center from January 2011 to December 2012 were enrol ed in the experimental group. A total of 60 patients with intertrochanteric fractures receiving dynamic hip screw fixation in the Department of Orthopedics, Beijing Chaoyang Emergency Rescue Center from January 2009 to December 2010 were enrol ed in the control group.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Peri-operative bleeding volume, postoperative ambulation time, numerical rating scale score, radiographic healing time and weight-bearing time in the experimental group were lower than those of control group. At 3, 6 months and 1 year after fixation, Harris score and hospital for special surgery knee score were higher in the experimental group than in the control group. These data indicated that compared with dynamic hip screw, interTan compression interlocking intramedul ary nail has unique stability due to its design. Internal fixation can reduce operation trauma, promote fracture healing and improve joint function, and exhibit good clinical therapeutic effects for intertrochanteric fractures.

Objective: To investigate the action of low level soybean isoflavones (genistin, genistein and daidzein) on the oxidative modification of lipoproteins in serum. Methods: After a system of lipoprotein oxidation mediated by Cu 2+ was established in a dilute serum, the effects of soybean isoflavones on the course and the end of lipoprotein oxidation could be reflected by monitoring the production of conjugated dienes and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) respectively when isoflavones were added. Results: After 0.5-10 ?mol/L genistein, daidzein, genistin or ?-tocopherol was added into the lipoprotein system respectively before the oxidation initiated by Cu 2+ , the production of conjugated dienes or TBARS in the system was significantly reduced with a dose-dependent relationship. When the lipoprotein oxidation was initiated by Cu 2+ at 37 ℃ for 1 h or 1.5 h, soybean isoflavones also revealed strong inhibition on the oxidation in a weakening way. In comparison with soy isoflavones, ?-tocopherol had smaller inhibition on the production of conjugated dienes, but had promotion on the increase of TBARS. Conclusion: Lipoprotein oxidative modification in serum was weakened by low level soybean isoflavones, and its action after the oxidation initiated was more effective than that of ?-tocopherol.

Objective: To summarize the methods of preventing and managing the complications in thoracoscopic lobectomy. Methods:The participants of this study included 317 patients undergoing lobectomy with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in the Department of Thoracic Surgery between January 2007 and December 2012. Intra-operative complications were observed, and countermeasures were summarized. Results: Complications occurred 28 times (8.8%), including bleeding in 16 cases because of accidental vascular injury (5.0%), accidental injury/break of bronchus in two cases (0.6%), vascular stump errhysis from cutting stapler in four cases (1.3%), lung stump air leakage in three cases (0.9%), lung injury in two cases (0.6%), and diaphragmatic injury in one case (0.3%). Conversion to thoracotomy was conducted in 17 cases, with a conversion rate of 5.4%. Thoracoscopic repair operation was performed in 14 cases that exhibited bleeding, with a success rate of 70% (14/20). No mortality was reported during the operation. Conclusion:Thoracoscopic lobectomy is a highly difficult method in thoracic surgeries. The procedure requires substantial attention on the timely prevention and correct management of intra-operative complications, particularly the injury and bleeding of major vessels, to reduce the rate of conversion to thoracotomy and the incidence of post-operative complications, as well as to promote the surgery in clinics.

The threshold of cyclin E expression at G1/S boundary is a characteristic feature of cell cycle progressing. In this study, we tried to develop a quantitative approach to analyze cyclin E threshold by multiparameter flow cytometry. The expression of cyclin E in exponentially growing MOLT-4 cells was detected under different photomultiplier tube (PMT) voltages by cyclin E/DNA multiparameter flow cytometry. Additionally, cyclin E was detected in cells which were treated with caffeine and cycloheximide (CHX) under the same PMT voltage. Moreover, the expression of cyclin E in MOLT-4 cells was compared with that in JURKAT cells. Cyclin E threshold was quantified by formula B2/AxC (A, B, C indicates the minimum, threshold, and maximum of cyclin E fluorescence intensity, respectively). Results showed that in MOLT-4 cells, cyclin E threshold calculated by formula B2/AxC was invariable under different PMT settings. It was decreased in cells treated with caffeine and remained changeless in cells treated with cycloheximide. Cyclin E threshold in JURKAT cells was much lower than that in MOLT-4 cells. It was suggested that Formula B2/AxC we firstly set up could be used to analyze cyclin E expression threshold quantitatively.
