There exist all kinds of corrupt behaviors in the fields of scienceat present, which result not only from the ethics of editors and legal supervision, but also from the institutional cause. To counter this phenomenon, this article analyzed current situation and the reason of academic corruption by literature and brought forward the conclusion that how to strengthen system control against academic corruption. The scientific research management should make polices and rules for anti -academic corruption, including defining,allegation, prevention and sanction, etc.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate which inflammatory markers allow an accurate differentiation of septic and gouty arthritis.Methods In 2013 January to 2014 January 33 patients with septic arthritis and 29 patients with gouty arthritis.Detected white blood cells,C-reactive protein and uric acid of inflammatory markers in plasma and tested lac-tate,glucose,uric acid,lactate dehydrogenase and white blood cell count inflammatory markers in the synovial fluid.MedCalc 13.0 software were used for statistical analysis.Results There were no significantly different between serum C-reaction protein and WBC counts with two groups.Synovial lactate showed the greatest diagnostic potential (AUC=0.898,sensitivi-ty=96.9%,specificity=72.4%)followed by serum uric acid (AUC=0.818)and synovial uric acid (AUC=0.808).Con-clusion Lactate in the synovial fluid has excellent diagnostic potential to differ septic arthritis from gouty arthritis.Synovial lactate levers above 1.7 mmol/L almost proofed septic arthritis.

Objective To research the relationship between anaemia and inflammatory in patients with heart failure .Methods 284 cases of patients with heart failure were enrolled and divided into 2 groups (anaemia group and non‐anaemia group) .The serum levels of of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) ,high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP) ,blood urine nitrogen (BUN) and creati‐nine (Crea) were measured ,and the results were analyzed .Results The levels of BNP ,hs‐CRP and Crea of anaemia group were sig‐nificantly higher than those of non‐anaemic group (P<0 .01) .The results of logistic regression demonstrated that hs‐CRP was in‐dependently associated with anaemia (P=0 .021) .Conclusion The occurrence and development of inflammation are independently associated with anaemia in the patients with heart failure .

Objective To investigate the mechanisms of ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu)resistance to macrolide antibiotics.Methods Twenty strains of clinical isolates of Uu with variable resistance to macrolides and reference strain ATCC 27618 were examined for mutations in 23SrRNA.Results As compared with the sequence of reference strain ATCC 27618 and GenBank,three mutations were found in 23SrRNA of Uu clinical isolates.C2243N(TorC)was found in the 23SrRNA in 5 strains with the phenotype resistance to roxithromvcin and azithromycin.A2149C and A2181T were found in the 23SrRNA in 9 strains with the phenotype resistance to roxithromycin and midrange resistance to azithromycin,and 6 strains with the phenotype of sensitivity to roxithromyein and azithromycin.Conclusions The mechanisms of Uu resistance to roxithromycin and azithromycin may be related with the mutations in 23SrRNA.It may warrant further investigation.

To explore a sensitive , stable and handleable method for evaluating phagocytosis of mouse peritoneal macrophages by flow cytometry , and get a set of optimized solutions.Methods: The peritoneal macrophages obtained from ICR mice were divided into two part.One part was used directly ,and another part was 1∶1 diluted.Three fluorescent microsphere concentrations were used (5×106/well,1×107/well and 1.5×107/well).Incubation time were respective 1 h,1.5 h and 2 h.The adherent cells were digested by enzyme or cell scraper.The percentage of phagocytic cells ( PP) and the phagocytic index ( PI) were determined by flow cy-tometry.To verify and confirm the reliability of experiment conditions , effect of JKS on phagocytosis of mouse macrophages were evaluated with flow cytometric assays and chicken red blood-cell method.Results:The higher concentration of fluorescent microspheres meant PP and PI were higher.When cell concentration was 1×105-2×105 ml-1 ,incubation time was 1.5 h,concentration of fluorescent microspheres was 1.5 ×107/well,the PP and PI were the highest (89.87%,1.54).When incubation time was 2 h,the PP and PI declined(57.71%,1.51).Effect of cell concentration on the PP and PI were negatively correlated with fluorescent microspheres .After adherent macrophages were digested by trypsin+EDTA,the PP and PI were 44.51%,0.68.The PP and PI were 37.92%,0.57 after di-gestion by EDTA.The results were lower than using cell scraper.The PP(1 485 mg/kg group) of JKS were higher than control group that were evaluated with flow cytometric assays and chicken red blood-cell method.The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05 ).Conclusion: These are the optimized solutions for the experiment such as the concentration of peritoneal macrophaes is (1-2)×105,the incubation time is 1 h and the concentration of fluorescent microspheres is 1×107/well.

Objective To study correlation between systemic sclerosis(SSc)and plasma D-dimer and to reveal the probably rules of the fibrinolytic systems in SSc.Methods In 2013 January to 2014 January,cellected 32 patients with SSc and 35 with healthy controls to detected level of plasma D-dimer.Logistic and t student test were used for statistical analysis for correlation between SSc and pulmonary artery hypertension.Results When compared to healthy controls (0.28±0.04μg/ml),the level of plasma D-dimer were significantly increased in SSc patient (0.31±0.05μg/ml,t=1.997,P=0.008).After stratifying SSc patients according to disease subset,whereas patients with diffuse subset displayed substantially increased values (0.41±0.06μg/ml,t=2.051,P<0.001).The level of plasma D-dimer was associated with pulmonary artery hyper-tension (OR=4.38,95%CI=2.59~8.91,P=0.008).Conclusion Demonstrated that SSc patients with diffuse subset are characterized by increased plasma D-dimer values,reflecting a potential activation of fibrinolytic cascaded,which might finally predispose these patients to thrombotic complications and pulmonary artery hypertension.

Studies on cell signaling pay more attention to spatial dynamics and how such diverse organization can relate to high order of cellular capabilities. To overview the specificity of cell signaling, we integrated human receptome data with proteome spatial expression profiles to systematically investigate the specificity of receptors and receptor-triggered transduction networks across 62 normal cell types and 14 cancer types. Six percent receptors showed cell-type-specific expression, and 4% signaling networks presented enriched cell-specific proteins induced by the receptors. We introduced a concept of "response context" to annotate the cell-type dependent signaling networks. We found that most cells respond similarly to the same stimulus, as the "response contexts" presented high functional similarity. Despite this, the subtle spatial diversity can be observed from the difference in network architectures. The architecture of the signaling networks in nerve cells displayed less completeness than that in glandular cells, which indicated cellular-context dependent signaling patterns are elaborately spatially organized. Likewise, in cancer cells most signaling networks were generally dysfunctional and less complete than that in normal cells. However, glioma emerged hyper-activated transduction mechanism in malignant state. Receptor ATP6AP2 and TNFRSF21 induced rennin-angiotensin and apoptosis signaling were found likely to explain the glioma-specific mechanism. This work represents an effort to decipher context-specific signaling network from spatial dimension. Our results indicated that although a majority of cells engage general signaling response with subtle differences, the spatial dynamics of cell signaling can not only deepen our insights into different signaling mechanisms, but also help understand cell signaling in disease.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the difference in the pharmacokinetics of zolpidem tatrate in subjects from five Chinese ethnicities (Han, Mongolian, Uigur, Korean and Hui). Healthy subjects (10 Hans, 10 Mongolians, 10 Uigurs, 10 Koreans and 9 Huis) were recruited and each received a 10 mg tablet-dose of zolpidem tatrate. A total of 12 plasma samples were collected over a 12 h period after administration. The concentrations of zolpidem in plasma were determined by an HPLC-FLU method, after which the pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using DAS 2.0 software and analyzed by SPSS 16.0 software. After normalization by weight, no differences were noted in the pharmacokinetic parameters of zolpidem tatrate among the five ethnic groups (P>0.05). However, there were statistically significant differences between males and females for the pharmacokinetic parameters (P<0.05). The metabolism of zolpidem tatrate in males was faster than in females. Results indicate that ethnicity has no significant impact on the pharmacokinetics of zolpidem tatrate after a single oral dose in healthy Chinese subjects. However, an effect of gender on the pharmacokinetics of zolpidem tatrate can be noted.
