[Objective]Extracellular signal-activated kinases(ERK),c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK) and P38 signal transduction pathway were three members of the MAPK family which mediated cellular proliferation,differentiation and apoptosis.The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ERK,JNK and P38 MAPK on pathogenesis and progression of human osteosarcoma.[Method]EnVisionTM immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the expressions of ERK,JNK and P38 protein among the 48 osteosarcoma and 25 osteoblastic benign tumor samples,and their differences were compared.[Result]The positive rates of ERK,JNK and P38 protein were 83.3%(40/48),72.9%(35/48) and 85.4%(41/48) respectively in 48 osteosarcoma,and 16.0%(4/25),12.0%(3/25) and 20.0%(5/25) in 14 osteoblastic benign tumor,the statistical analysis of the positive rates were performed using analysis of variance with P

Objective To compare knowledge about hypertension between elderly Chinese urban patients with preferences for either traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) or Western medicine (WM).Methods Elderly (≥ 65 years old) patients with hypertension who prefer TCM treatment (n=112) or WM (n=126) were questioned about hypertension.Their answers were compared.Results Only 32.6% of participants correctly identified hypertension as a main risk factor of coronary heart disease and stroke,22.3% of patients answered that the main purpose of hypertension control was preventing cardiovascular disease.Other major reasons for these patients to seek medical treatment for their hypertension included:persuasion by physicians or their family members (21.6%),alleviating symptoms such as headache and dizziness (16.8%),lowering blood pressure without knowing specific reason (12.4%).The predictors for poor knowledge of hypertension were similar irrespective of preference for WM or TCM treatment,and included those with lower levels of education and older age.Television and newspaper (46.8%) were the most frequent sources of hypertension information for both groups.Among those who preferred TCM treatment,TCM has fewer side effects than WM and TCM cures disease while WM only alleviates symptoms were common beliefs held.Conclusion This study shows that knowledge of hypertension is similar among Chinese urban patients with preferences for either WM or TCM treatment and that misunderstandings about hypertension are common among the elderly patients.In order to control hypertension effectively,public health education is necessary.This should target those with a lower level of education and older age.

Objective:To explore and study the clinical values of CT and MRI in the diagnosis of spinal trauma. Methods: One hundred patients with spinal trauma in our hospital were selected as the study objects and randomly divided them into 2 groups, 50 cases in each group. The control group was diagnosed by CT, the experimental group was diagnosed by MRI. Results: The efficacy of CT(control group) on fracture line and fracture flat shift was better than experimental group, but in the aspect of spinal cord injury, ligamentous injury and soft tissue injury, experimental group(MRI) was more sensitive than control group(x2=4.0, P<0.05), differences between 2 groups were statistically significant. Conclusion:Every coin has 2 sides, so as to applying CT and MRI in the diagnosis of spinal trauma, but the accuracy to overall spinal trauma of experimental group is higher. Furthermore, it can avoid misdiagnosing with spinal trauma that applying combined CT and MRI, it is worthy of being widely recommended in clinic.

Objective To evaluate the effects and security of PFNA and DHS in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures through meta analysis .Methods The randomized controlled trials(RCT) for comparing PFNA and DHS in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture were retrieved from MEDLINE ,EMbase ,Pubmed ,Cochrane library ,CBM ,CNKI ,VIP data‐bases by computer .The related orthopedic relevant documents and conference papers were collected by manual retrieval .The Rev‐Man5 .1 statistical software was used for conducting the meta analysis .Results Nineteen RCT were included ,involving 1 690 pa‐tients ,in which 871 cases were treated by using PFNA and 819 cases were treated by using DHS .Compared with DHS ,PFNA had the advantages of little trauma ,less blood loss ,short operation time ,short fracture healing time and postoperative bed time ,good hip function and low incidence of postoperative coxa vara and screw cutting ,but there were no statistical differences in the aspects of length of hospital stay ,fatality rate ,and incidences of fracture nonunion ,breakage of internal fixation ,femoral head necrosis ,short‐ening of the femoral neck ,femoral shaft fractures ,deep vein thrombosis ,urinary tract infection and other complications between the two groups(P>0 .05) .Conclusion The retrieved literatures show that PFNA internal fixation is superior to DHS internal fixation in treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures .

Objective:To explore the characteristics of cognitive function in patients with early onset and adult onset schizophrenia.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 546 patients with schizophrenia who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-Ⅳ) were selected.Among them, 62 cases were defined as early onset schizophrenia (EOS, age of onset＜18 years) and 175 patients were defined as adult onset schizophrenia (AOS, age of onset≥25 years).Patients underwent clinical assessments with the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) and the Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP), and comprehensive neuropsychological assessments.Results:The EOS patients got lower scores in motor function-PEGDOM T score [ (26±12) vs. (30±11), P＜0.01], working memory-average T score of PASAT and WMSSP[ (34±12) vs. (38±10), P＜0.05]and executive function (inhibition) -Stroop T score [ (35±12) vs. (39±10), P＜0.05]than AOS patients.No differences were fund in processing speed, verbal memory and learning, visual memory and learning (Ps＞0.05) between the two groups.Conclusion:It suggests that the EOS patients have worse motor function, working memory and inhibition.
