TNF related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a new identified member of TNF family, which selectively kills a broad spectrum of tumor cells, but nontoxic to most normal cells. TRAIL triggers tumor cell apoptosis via death receptor DR4 and DR5 anchored in the cell surface, which is mediated through intracellular induced apoptosis proteins. The major pathway of its action proceeds through the formation of DSIC and activation of caspase8. The apoptotic processes follow two signal pathways, namely the mitochondrial independent activation of caspase3, and mitochondrial dependent apoptosis through the cleavage of BID by caspase8, the release of cytochrome C, the formation of apoptosome, and activation of caspase9 and the downstream apoptosis. In previous researches, it is shown that nontagged TRAIL proved to be noncytotoxic to hepatocytes in monkeys and chimpanzees and to human normal hepatocytes. Thus, the nontagged TRAIL has attracted great attention in recent years as a promising anti cancer reagent.

Recently accumulating evidence has shown that innate immunity recognition of invading pathogens can be attributed mainly to the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family.TLR signaling can induce the production of proinflammatory cytokines and upregulate expression of costimulatory molecules to provoke rapid activation of innate immuniry. Activated innate immunity subsequently leads to effective adaptive immunity. It, thereby, activites not only innate but ultimately also adaptive immunity. It can mediate activation of many kinds of cells, such as immune cells, hepatocytes et al. Upon binding to its respective ligands, TLR can activate signal transduction cascades leading to activation of transcription factors and protein kinases such as NF-?B and MAPK, and expression of immune response genes. Besides,TLR family may be involved in the pathogenesis of inflammation via recognition of host products. Inhibition of TLR action may work as anti-inflammatory drugs, and possibly also as agents to treat autoimmune diseases.Thus,the increasing understanding of TLR system could be the basis for treating a variety of pathological conditions.

Objective To investigate the features of multiple pelvic injuries (fracture combined with multiple traumas) and their effects on management and prognosis. Methods A total of 233 cases of hemodynamically unstable pelvic fractures were grouped according to the patterns of violence, fracture and associated injuries. They were assessed with measured indexes in physiological state, anatomic injury and blood requirement. Their possibilities of survival (Ps) were also predicted. All the data were statistically analyzed. Results The pelvic fractures were often combined with multiple traumas and frequently resulted from high energy traffic accidents. The correlations among sources of bleeding, amounts of blood loss and hemodynamical changes were disproportional. In unstable pelvic fractures with extra pelvic bleeding, BP and blood requirement were significantly different, and their AIS and ISS of the pelvis were higher and their Ps was lower than in the other groups. Conclusions Multiple pelvic injuries caused by high energy are often highly risky and combined with multiple traumas and several sources of bleeding. A clear and precise assessment of the total injuries and sources of bleeding will help treat the patients with different managements.

The scientific research fund is an important resource for carrying out the scientific re-search projects effectively. Whether it can be reasonable used not only relates to the fulfilled quality, bene-fit, using direction and quantity, but also makes the reformation of management methods inevitable with the increase of quantities of the projects and funds. By summarizing the previously practical experiences, this paper explored the network managements of scientific research funds based on workflow in the hospital. By means of computer and network, the concept of workflow was further introduced to the application of platform of scientific research funds management. It embodies the charactor of approval flow in workflow management system. Finally the data of scientific research funds can be shared and integrated into multi-departments, so it is beneficial to improve the fund's benefit and strengthens the supervision in the whole process manage-ment.

Objective To investigate the relationship of proximal femur geometry and hip fracture in elderly women. Methods We compared proximal femur measurements made from the uninvolved hip of 48 plane anteroposterior pelvis radiographs of elderly women without fracture to those of the contralateral hip in a group of 43 cases with hip fracture. Measurements of Singh index, head diameter(HD), neck diameter(ND), femoral neck length(NL), neck shaft angle(NSA) and cortical thinckness of proximal femur were analyzed. Results The cortical thickness of proximal femur in hip fracture and without hip fracture groups was (10.9±3.1) mm and (13.2±2.9) mm, and the Singh index below Ⅲ° was 86.05% and 66.67%, respectively. No difference in HD,ND,NL and NSA could be demonstrated. Conclusions Singh index and cortical thickness of proximal femur may be used to predict the occurrence of the hip fracture in elderly women.

The pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics ( PK/PD) of antimicrobials aims to establish and evaluate dose-concentration-response relationship, and subsequently to describe and predict the effect-time courses resulting from a drug dose.Nowadays, PK/PD is playing an important role in dosage regimen optimizing, reducing toxicity and drug tolerance of antibiotics.And it is also of great significance in determining susceptibility breakpoints and development in new drug.This paper reviews the progress on PK/PD studies of antibacterial and antifungal agents to provide theoretical basis for safe and effective individual dosage regimens.
