Objective To investigate the different ability to produce H_(2)O_(2+) of the vaginal lactobacilli and their potential antagonism toward E.coli in ivtro.Then to select the potential lactobacilli strain to treat the female urogenital infection.Method To detect production of H_(2)O_(2) by measuring the blue matter in water solution with absorbtion spectrophotometry.The lactobacillus and E.coli were cultured together in solid culture medium,followed by the measurement of inhibition zone around the lactobacilli after 24 hour.Results We selected 4 strains of lactobacilli from vagina.L.acidophilus1 and L.paracasei3 are the stronger to produce H_(2)O_(2).The largest diameter of the ring of inhibition is shown around the lactobacilli acidophilus 1.Conclusion The lactobacilli acidophilus 1 and lactobacilli crispatus are the most potential strains as antagonist to E.coli and their antagonism depend not only on lacid or H_(2)O_(2).

Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is a highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinase that has attracted research attention be-cause it plays a critical role in mitosis regulation. PLK1 is overexpressed in 80%of human tumors, which indicates a poor prognosis in most tumors. PLK1 is one of the most promising targets for antitumor therapy because it is upregulated in castrate-resistant prostate can-cer (CRPC). This review focused on the basic structure and function of PLK1, the relationship between PLK1 and CRPC occurrence and progression, and CRPC treatment by inhibiting PLK1. This study provides a theoretical basis for the targeted molecular therapy of CRPC.

To investigate the psychological difference in abdominal aortic aneurysm patients before and after operation and its influence on life quality, 24 patients who can understand and complete the questionnaire were enrolled in the study, the inquiry was performed after admission and discharge with the standard SCL 90 table. The results showed that the general conditions, depression, anxiety, compulsive symptoms and fear of the patients had marked differences before and after operation. It is concluded that operation of abdominal aortic aneurysm can not only prevent the rupture of aneurysm but also relieve the patients′ psychological pressuer and improve their life quality.

Objective To explore the impact of resilience and anxiety, depression on quality of life (QOL) among esophageal carcinoma patients undergoing radiotherapy and (or) chemotherapy. Methods A total of 125 patients were recruited into our study. Date were collected by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer, Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) , Resilience Scale (RS) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) version 7.0 software was used to conduct the path analysis. Results The total score of patients′ QOL, RS and HADS were(51.98±19.42)points,(56.32±17.09)points,(14.59±7.04)points. Pearson′s analysis showed that QOL was correlated with RS and HADS ( r =0.423-0.588,P<0.05). RS was negatively correlated with HADS (path coefficient was-0.76 and-0.37) and HADS negatively correlated with QOL (path coefficient was-0.56 and-0.79). RS as a protective factor indirectly influenced QOL via HADS and the paths′ total coefficients was 0.69. Conclusions The level of QOL and RS were at poor level for esophageal carcinoma patients, as well as participants experienced anxiety and depression. HADS as intermediary variable has a greater moderating effect on relationships between RS and QOL. RS is a indirect protective factor of QOL. Interventions developed on the basis of influencing factors of QOL should be applied to improve patients′integral health status.

Objective To investigate the effect of Zusanli(ST36) moxibustion on facial infrared thermal images in infantile spasm patients and provide a clinical basis for rehabilitation treatment of infantile spasm.Method Fifteen infantile spasm patients were enrolled. Ten healthy children constituted a normal control group. Facial infrared thermal images were observed in the infantile spasm patients. An auto-control study was also conducted in the infantile spasm patients. The infrared thermal images before and after 15 minutes of a rest state were used as a blank group and those before and after 15 minutes of moxibustion, as a treatment group. Facial infrared thermal images were produce using anATIR-M301 medical far-infrared thermograph. Changes in temperature in facial regions were observed in the control and treatment groups. A statistical analysis was carried out.Result Facial infrared thermal images showed that bilateral temperatures were evenly and symmetrically distributed in the normal group and asymmetrically distributed, with the right side temperature lower than the left side, in the spasm group of patients. There were statistically significant differences in the forehead and inner canthus(P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the facial thermal image (temperature) between before and after 15 minutes in the blank group (P>0.05). In the treatment group, facial thermal images tended to be symmetrical after 15 minutes of moxibustion and had a statistically significant difference between before and after the moxibustion (P<0.05).Conclusion Zusanli moxibustion can improve facial blood circulation in infantile spasm patients.

[Summary] Epithelial ovarian carcinoma has the highest fatality rate among gynecologic malignant tumors.Lacking of effective early diagnosis and screening method are the main reasons for its poor prognosis.There is a close relationship between the heterogeneity of epithelial ovarian carcinoma and the diversity of cancerous origins.According to the traditional theory, epithelial ovarian carcinoma derives from germinal epithelium at ovarian surface.The “secondary Mullerian system” theory has challenged above view.This“dualism” theory completely subverts the traditional one.However, both of the theories have their limitations.In recent years, the multiple origins theory of epithelial ovarian carcinoma has gradually become a hot point of discussion.

Objective:To study the mechanism on extracellular signal-regulate kinases ( ERK) signal transduction by calcium influx initiated by combination of estrogen with calcium channels or estrogen re-ceptor in endometrial cancer cell Ishikawa. Methods: Confocal test was used to determine the relative calcium mobilization by stimulation of estrodiol together with and without the inhibition of ICI182780 and nifedipine. Western-blotting was used to detect the protein expression of phosphorylated ERK1/2 (P-ERK1/2) in the same condition. Results:The transient calcium flux initiated by 17β-estrodiol (E2) and a membrane-impermeable conjugate of estrogen and bovine serum albumin ( E2-BSA ) , and the calcium mobilization could be inhibited by ICI182780 and nifedipine in 1 min. In Ishikawa cells, phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was stimulated by E2 , and the phosphorylation could not be inhibited by E2 after the combination with ICI182780 in 5 min and in 30 min. The phosphorylation also could not be in-hibited by E2-BSA after the combination with nifedipine in 5 min, but in 30 min the phosphorylation was decreased. The phosphorylation of ERK by E2-BSA was decreased by the combination with nifedipine in 30 min. Conclusion:The transient calcium flux initiated by estrogen has an effect on the activation of ERK signal pathway in endometrial carcinoma cells.

Objective and accurate assessment of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB)helps to choose the correct therapeu-tic scheme and guide the clinical treatment.In recent years,the noninvasive diagnostic models for liver fibrosis have been constantly emerging, but no consensus has been reached in this regard.The research advances in noninvasive regression models for liver fibrosis in patients with CHB are reviewed according to different staging methods for liver fibrosis,and the existing models are analyzed in terms of problems and shortages. It is thought that further studies should be done to establish simpler,more effective models that have higher diagnostic values.

Chimeric antigen receptor-transduced-T (CAR-T) cells shows strong cytotoxicity to the tumor with specific antigen by CTL effects and cytokines releasing without MHC-restriction.As multiple clinical trials from cancer centers around the West countries reported recent years,anti-CD19-CAR T cells can not only induce complete remission of B-cell malignancies resistant,but also eliminate the minimal residual disease (MRD) at the molecular level.It is believed that the obstacles from bench to clinic will be cleared and CAR will become one of the main cancer therapies with breakthroughs in comprehensive treatment of tumors.
