OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of CXCR4 in maxillary sinus carcinoma cells IMC3 under hypoxia. METHOD: IMC3 cells were cultured for 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h under normoxia and hypoxia. Real-Time PCR was applied to detect the expression of mRNA of CXCR4 and immunohistochemisrty was applied to investigate its protein level. RESULT: CXCR4 mRNA level was about 0.035 under normal conditions, which was obviously upregulated by hypoxia. The mRNA levels after culturing under hypoxia for 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h were 0.283, 0.313, 0.426, 0.510 respectively. There was statistically significant difference between the mRNA levels of each two groups (P < 0.05, Mann-Whiney Test) with a time dependent course, except for the difference between the groups of 6 h and 12 h. Immunohistochemistry showed that there was almost negative staining for CXCR4 in the cell cultured in nomoxia, while stong positive staining of CXCR4 was observed in cells cultured in hypoxia . The positive staining was located mainly in the cell membrane and cytoplasm and little in the nucleus. CONCLUSION Hypoxia could induce expression of CXCR4 in IMC3 cells at both mRNA and ptrotein levels. The upregulation of CXCR4 by hypoxia showed an obvious time dependent course.

Objective Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a growing public health concern that has been associated with pediatric fatalities. This study investigated the genotypes of staphylococcal cassette chromosomal mec (SCCmec) and Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) in MRSA strains isolated from Shanghai Children's Hospital by PCR. Methods A total of 30 strains of MRSA were isolated from various clinical specimens from October 2005 to June 2006. The antimicrobial susceptibility was measured by agar diffusion method. SCCmec typing was conducted using a novel multiplex PCR assay allowing for concomitant detection of methicillin resistance (mecA gene) to facilitate detection and classification of all currently described SCCmec typesⅠ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳa, b, c, d andⅤ. PVL gene was also determined by PCR. Results mecA gene was positive in all the strains. SCCmecⅡ was identified in 6(20.0%) isolates, SCCmecⅢ in 15(50.0%) isolates, SCCmecⅤ in 2 and SCCmecⅣa in 1 isolate. Six MRSA strains were non-typeable. The isolates with SCCmecⅡ or SCCmecⅢ were resistant to multiple antibiotics. The strains harboring SCCmecⅣa or SCCmecⅤwere susceptible to all antibiotics except β-lactams. Eleven (36.7%) isolates were PVL positive. The genotypes and subgenotypes of staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec of eleven PVL-positive MRSA were SCCmecⅡ(1 isolates), SCCmecⅢ (5 isolates), SCCmecⅣa (1 isolate), SCCmecⅤ (2 iso-Lates) non-typeable (2 isolates). Conclusions SCCmecⅡ and SCCmecⅢ are the major genotypes of MRSA in our hospital. These isolates are multi-resistant to antibiotics. The prevalence of PVL gene is higher in SCCmecⅡ- or SCCmeⅢ-positive MRSA. The isolates with SCCmecⅡ or SCCmecⅢ were resistant to multiple antibiotics.

The present hospital information systems are analyzed,with finding that hospital information isolated island phenomenon getting worse due to failure of interconnection of various systems and equipment vendors with different technologies.An integrated platform based on an enterprise service bus is proposed for hospital information,which can be connected into these heterogeneous systems,effectively minimizing the inter-system coupling,and achieving data and service interconnection,enabling an integrated and intelligent hospital architecture.

Objective To find T2N0M0 colorectal cancer patients at high risk for relapse or metastasis.Methods From January 1993 to December 2014,339 patients with histologically confirmed stage T2N0M0 primary colorectal cancer treated by radical surgery with complete clinical follow-up data were enrolled into this study.Survival rates were calculated using Kaplan-Meier method,and survival cures were compared using the Log-rank test.Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the significant factors defined in univariate test.Results The 5-year and 10-year overall survival rates were 83.0％ and 68.9％,respectively.Male gender,old age,lymphovascular involverment,perineural invasion,poor differentiation and invasive micropapillary carcinoma were associated with low cancer-specific survival rates in Kaplan-Meier analysis.Multivariate analyses revealed male gender,old age,lymphovascular involverment,poor differentiation and invasive micropapillary carcinoma as significant independent factors predicting poor prognosis.Conclusions Male gender,old age,lymphovascular involvement,poor differentiation and invasive micropapillary carcinoma are risk factors predicting poor prognosis for T2N0M0 colorectal patients.

Objective: To discuss the methods of treatment patients with aortic valve lesions associated with ascending aortic dilation. Methods: From 1996 to 2002, 32 patients were underwent Wheat procedure. The mean age of patients was (48 6?8 9) years. The pathology of aortic valve was bicuspid valve (19 cases,59%). The mean diameter of ascend aorta was (52 2?4 5) mm (45～60 mm). All patients received aortic valve and ascend aorta replacement. Results: All patients survived. The mean duration of follow up was 22 months. There was no postoperative death and no pseudoaneurysm. All patients were in NYHA class I～II after surgery. Conclusion: Wheat procedure is a simple and effective treatment for patients with ascending aorta dilation who need aortic valve replacement.

The effect of pH on the extracellularpolysaccharide synthesis by Aureobasidium pullulans was studied by addding CaCO 3and HCl.Cultivated in P2 liquid medium for 24h,pH dropped to 3.6 because of strongly producing acid.Under this low pH environment,further fermentation for 120h,only 5.9g/L of polysacharide was obtained.When grown in MP2 medium contaning0.5% CaCO 3,the pH was kept above 5.0 during 144 hours,production of polysaccharide increased to 31g/L. The detailed information of effects of controlled pH on polysaccharide production showed an optimal pH value 5.0 must be maintained through the fermentative period.
