The graphene prepared by chemical vapor deposition onto copper foils was transferred onto a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) soft substrate by the aid of poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA).The soft G/AuNPs/GOD composite electrode based on PET substrate was fabricated using a protocol in which the uniform distribution of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) was firstly obtained by controlling the evaporation of gold sol on a graphene surface, then thioglycolic acid (TGA) was modified on the AuNPs through Au-S bond, and finally glucose oxidase (GOD) was immobilized on the surface of AuNPs through acylation reaction between TGA and the GOD.Glucose was detected in the linear range from 0.05 to 10.55 mmol/L with a linear correlation coefficient (r) of 0.9955.The detection was performed in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7) at 25℃ with a working potential of 0.6 V (vs.SCE electrode), and the detection limit was 1 μmol/L (3σ).The G/AuNPs/GOD flexible electrode based on PET substrate provided a new pathway to detect glucose in special environments using wearable equipment, which enlarged the applied field of glucose detection.

Objectives:This study aims to provide a full picture of how Health Policy and Systems Research ( HPSR) in Chinese universities. Based on the current situation, analysis of problems and challenges of the HPSR capacity has been conducted and suggestions on personnel training have been proposed. Methods: Quantitative sur-veys and qualitative interviews have been conducted among personnel engaged in HPSR from 8 representative univer-sities. Results:Most HPSR researchers in the universities are young, of which 75. 26% have doctorates and the ma-jority is trained in health care management and public health sciences. Among the current HPSR projects, health in-formation and evidence is the main research direction in this field, and both the capital investment and attention of re-searchers are high. However, research resources and funding are still currently focused on senior researchers, with limited efforts to support young scholars. HPSR has interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary characteristics, but cur-rently the collaboration among institutions and individuals is relatively limited. In addition, only 5. 81% of undertak-en HPSR projects have been translated into health policy. Discussion and Suggestions:HPSR researchers in Chinese universities are not sufficient and have similar backgrounds, resulting in limited collaboration. Investment in HPSR projects is still shallow and young researchers are vulnerable in acquiring funding resources. The ability to translate research results into policy is weak. Therefore, this paper suggests to mainstream undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, enhance the training, funding and technical support for young researchers, and to establish the mechanism of dissemination of research findings and their translation into policy.

Objective To determine if activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is involved in ropivacaine-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and apoptosis in human neuroblastoma cell line SHSY5Y.Methods SH-SY5Y cell line was purchased from cell center of Shanghai life Science Research Institute,Chinese Academy of Sciences and cultured in DMEM/F12 liquid culture medium containing 15 % bovine calf serum at 37 ℃ in incubator filled with 5% CO2 . Plasmids pGPU6/GFP/Neo-shRNA AMPKα2 and pEGFP-N1-AMPKα2were transfected into the SH-SY5Y cell line. The expression of AMPKα2 was determined by Western blot analysis.The SH-SY5Y cells transfected with recombinant plasmids were exposed to 3 mol/L ropivacaine. Intracellular ROS was detected by flow cytometry. Cell viability was quantitatively determined by MTT colorimetry assay. Apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry and Hoechst33258 staining. Results The plasmid pEGFP-N1-AMPKα2 upregulated while pGPU6/GFP/Neo-shRNA AMPKα2 down-regulated the expression of AMPKα2 ( P < 0.01). Down-regulation of AMPKα2 expression attenuated while up-regulation of. AMPKα2 expression promoted intracellular ROS production and cell apoptosis induced by ropivacaine ( P < 0.01) . Conclusion AMPK probably mediates ROS production and cell apoptosis induced by ropivacaine.

Objective: To investigate the predictive value of an early inflammatory response factor, Rho kinase activity for left ventricle remodeling (LVR) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods: A total of 120 acute STEMI patients treated in our hospital from 2010-10 to 2013-06 were studied, all patients were ifrst time received primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation. Rho kinase activity and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) were measured before PCI, echocardiography was conducted at 24 hours and 12 months after STEMI respectively to clarify LVR diagnosis. The patients were divided into 2 groups as LVR group, n=97 and Non-LVR group, n=23, the above indexes were compared between 2 groups.
Results: The level of Rho kinase was higher in LVR group than that in Non-LVR group, P<0.001, after adjustment, Rho kinase was the independent predictor for LVR (OR 3.36, 95%CI 2.01–5.78, P<0.001). The ROC of Rho kinase was 0.88 (95%CI 0.82–0.94) and the ROC of BNP was 0.54 (95%CI 0.41–0.70).
Conclusion: High Rho kinase activity could predict LVR in acute STEMI patients with primary PCI and stent implantation.

Objective To investigate the difference between Asia-Pacific Colorectal Screening (APCS) scoring system and colorectal cancer sequential screening criteria issued by the Health Ministry of China (China sequential criteria) in the evaluation of high-risk colorectal neoplasm in patients undergoing coronary artery angiography (CAG) examination.Methods The data of 870 patients aged from 40 to 74 who underwent CAG examination were retrospectively analyzed.The measurement data were analyzed by t test and the count data were aralyzed by x2 test.Results There were 72 patients aged from 40 to 49 years old.Among them,eight patients were stratified as high-risk population according to the Chinese sequential criteria; however there was no high-risk population by APCS.There were 798 patients aged from 50 to 74 years old.There were 460 patients stratified as high-risk population by APCS.The percentage of CAG negative group (34.7％) was significantly lower than that of the coronary artery disease (CAD) group (68.0％,x2 =77.74,P＜0.01).According to the Chinese sequential criteria,and there were 134 patients stratified as high-risk population,and there was no significant difference between the CAG negative group (17.7 ％) and the CAD group (16.4％,P＞0.05).Among the patients aged from 50 to 74 years old without family history of colorectal cancer in first-degree relatives,72 cases (29.0％) of the CAG negative group and 316 cases (57.5％) of the CAD group were stratified as high-risk according to APCS,however not stratified as high-risk by the Chinese sequential criteria.About 90.5 ％ (351/388) of them were male smokers.According to APCS,30 cases (12.1％) of the CAG negative group and 32 cases (5.8％) of the CAD group were stratified as middle-risk population,however stratified as high-risk population by the Chinese sequential criteria.About 75.8％ (47/62) of them were female non-smokers.Conclusions The percentage of patients stratified as high-risk population by APCS was higher than that by the Chinese sequential criteria.In patients aged from over 50 to 74 years old and without family history of colorectal cancer in first-degree relative,APCS maybe overestimated the risk degree of colorectal neoplasm in male smokers and underestimated the risk degree in female non-smokers.

Objective To investigate the clinical typing of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in patients treated by intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 333 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who were initially treated in our hospital from 2003 to 2006 ;they had no distant metastasis and received IMRT.These patients were divided into 4 clinical types according to their prognosis:type Ⅰ (without local-regional recurrence and without distant metastasis),type Ⅱ (with local-regional recurrence and without distant metastasis),type Ⅲ (without local-regional recurrence and with distant metastasis),and type Ⅳ (with local-regional recurrence and with distant metastasis).Results Of all the patients,70.0％ (233) were of type Ⅰ,12.9％ (43) of type Ⅱ,16.5％ (55) of type Ⅲ,and 0.6％ (2) of type Ⅳ.Of 57 patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ nasophayngeal carcinoma,86％ (49) were of type Ⅰ,11％ (6) of type Ⅱ,4％ (2) of type Ⅲ,and 0％ (0) of type Ⅳ,and of 276 patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ nasopharyngeal carcinoma,66.7％ (184) were of type Ⅰ,13.4％ (37) of type Ⅱ,19.2％ (53) of type Ⅲ,and 0.7％ (2) of type Ⅳ,with significant differences between the two patient groups (P =0.007).Of the 69 patients who received IMRT alone,80％ (55) were of type Ⅰ,12％ (8) of type Ⅱ,9％(6) of type Ⅲ,and 0％ (0) of type Ⅳ; of the 218 patients who received IMRT combined with neoadjuvant plus concurrent chemotherapy,68.8％ (150) were of type Ⅰ,13.8％ (30) of type Ⅱ,16.5％(36) of type Ⅲ,and 0.9％ (2) of type Ⅳ; of the 46 patients who received IMRT combined with neoadjuvant plus adjuvant chemotherapy,61％ (28) were of type Ⅰ,11％ (5) of type Ⅱ,28％ (13) of type Ⅲ,and 0％ (0) of type Ⅳ.Conclusions In patients with early and advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma,type Ⅰ is the most common,and type Ⅳ is the least common;type Ⅱ is more frequent than type Ⅲ in early patients,while type Ⅲ is more frequent than type Ⅱ in advanced patients.The percentage of type Ⅰ patients increases,while that of type Ⅱ-Ⅳ patients decreases,as compared with the data of those treated by conventional radiotherapy.

Objective To evaluate previous gastroscopy before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the risks and benefits of concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) after PCI in patients with non-acute coronary syndrome (non-ACS).Methods The data of 673 non-ACS patients who underwent PCI with stenting were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into concomitant use of PPIs group and non-PPIs group,then subdivided into high-,moderate-and low-risk groups according to risk factors associated with adverse upper gastrointestinal (GI) events.The incidences of adverse cardiovascular events and adverse upper GI events were compared among groups.Findings of previous gastroscopy were also included.Results Only 82 patients (12.2％) underwent gastroscopy within 5 years before PCI,of whom,27 (32.9％) were diagnosed as having peptic ulcer,and 55.6％ (15/27) of whom were in concomitant use of PPIs.Compared with the non-PPIs group,the rate of adverse cardiovascular events in the concomitant use of PPIs group was significantly higher (22.6％ vs.8.9％,P ＜0.01),and the highest rate (41.7％) was in the high-risk group.However,the corresponding rate of adverse upper GI events was the lowest (4.2％).In the moderate-risk group,90.5 ％ (344/380) of patients were older than 65 years with concomitant use of NSAIDs.The rate of gastroscopy within 5 years before PCI in these patients was remarkably lower than that in patients who had the history of upper GI disease with concomitant use of NSAIDs (concomitant use of PPIs group 14.1％ vs.54.5％ ; non-PPIs group 7.5％ vs.28.0％ ; P ＜ 0.01).In the concomitant use of PPIs group,the rate of adverse cardiovascular events in the former was notably higher than that in the latter (20.5％ vs.9.1％,P ＜0.01),but the rate of adverse upper GI events within 1 year after PCI were similar (9.0％ vs.9.1％).Conclusion Previous gastroscopy before PCI could provide the baseline information of upper GI disease,which may be helpful for the evaluation of concomitant use of PPIs after PCI so as to decrease the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events.Special attention should be paid to those patients older than 65 years in the moderate-risk group and concomitant use of NSAIDs.

Objective To evaluate the dosimetric characteristics of hippocampal formation (HF) in the intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Methods Fifty-nine NPC patients underwent IMRT.Simultaneous integrated boost technology was used to determine the doses for the target areas.The dose ranges of the HF were collected by dose-volume histogram.The influence of T stage on the exposure doses ( Dmax,Dmean,D20,V10,V20,V30,and V40 ) were compared.Results The maximum dose for the HF (Dmax) ranged from 11.1 to 78.2 Gy(F =24.2,P ＜0.05) and the Dmean ranged from 3.2 to 44.6 Gy ( F =16.3,P ＜ 0.05 ).The Dmax and Dmean of the T1-2 stage patients were (40.8 ±9.4) Gy and ( 12.5 ±5.1 ) Gy,respectively,both significantly lower than those of the T3-4 stage patients [ (58.6± 14.8) Gy,(20.9± 9.3 ) Gy].The mean exposed volume of the T4 stage patients was significantly larger than that of the T1 and T2 stages patients.Conclusions In the IMRT of NPC,the HF receives rather high irradiation dose.T stage is the main factor influencing the dose,especially T3 and T4 stages deserve serious attention.

Objective To analyze the long-term efficacy,prognostic factors and radiation sequela of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)treated with radiotherapy at the end of last century.Methods From January 1995 to December 1998,1706 newly diagnosed NPC patients treated with radiotherapy were included in the retrospective clinical analysis.There were 1081 patients treated with radiotherapy alone,625 with two to three circles of chemotherapy(5-Fu and DDP)before radiotherapy,23 with thermotherapy during radiotherapy and 162 with braehytherapy by 192Ir after external beam radiation.Results The 5-year overall survival. local control survival and disease-free survival rates were 67.60%.84.20%and 64.22%.respectively.The 5-year survival of patients with stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲand Ⅳ(the Fuzhou Staging,1992)were 100%,75.93%,66.47%and 49.34%.respectively.Cox regression analysis showed that the TNM classification,radiotherapy discontinuance,chemotherapy,sex,age and anemia before radiotherapy were the significant factors of survival.Conclusions Our experience shows that the main factors for the long term survival of NPC patients after radiotherapy are early TNM stage,young age,female,non-anemia before radiotherapy, radiotherapy continuance and chemotherapy.
