Objective To determine co-author contribution for a biomedical scientific paper describing collaborative research by an analytical process model.Methods The important features of contribution were identified,categorized and organized into a logical hierarchy consisting of the main dimensions and sub-dimensions.A face-to-face survey was conducted to obtain data about their relative importance from co-authors.Analytical hierarchy process methodology was used to determine the relative important weights from main dimensions and sub-dimensions along with the consistency.Results Among the 5 main dimensions,all authors considered problem statement as the most important with a weight of 0.4355,and considered research design and data analysis taking the 2nd and 3rd positions.Among the 10 sub-dimensions,hypothesis construction,method development,result interpretation,and critical revision of manuscript were considered the most important contributions.Conclusion Analytical hierarchy process effectively supportto establish the co-authors' priorties for a biomedical scientific paper.

Objective To investigate the expression of TMS1/ASC gene induced by gemcitabine(GEM) in pancreatic carcinoma cell line PANC-1.To study the relationship between cysteine aspartase(caspase-1),nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) and the expression of TMS1/ASC.Methods The pancreatic carcinoma cell line PANC-1 was cultured in Dnlbecco's modification of Eagle's medium(DMEM).Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT)method was used to measure the effect of GEM at different time points(24,48 h)at different concentrations(1,2,4,8,16 μg/ml) on growth of PANC-l.RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of TMS1/ASC mRNA stimulated by medium alone and by GEM(4.27μg/ml)for 24 h and 48 h.Western blot analysis was performed with inhibitory protein of NF-κB multiclonal antibody,caspase-1 multiclonal antibody and β-actin monoclonal antibody to observe the expression of β-actin,caspase-1 and IκBα in GEM group and in the control group.The activation state of caspase-1 and NF-κB was examined.Results GEM inhibited the growth of PANC-1 cells in a concentrationand-time-dependent manners and its half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)was 4.27 μg/ml on 24 h.The expression of TMS1/ASC was 0.3 ±0.004 and 0.63 ±0.007 respectively in GEM group while it was 0.1 ±0.001 and 0.21 ± 0.006 in the control group on 24h and 48h.The difference between the 2 groups at the same time point had statistical significance (P < 0.01).Western blot showed that GEM caused the activation of caspase-1.The expression of IκBα had no obvious differencebetween the 2 groups.GEM couldn't induce the activation of NF-κB.Conclusions GEM can inhibit proliferation of PANC-1 cells and induce their apoptosis.The drug sensitivity decreased with prolongation of exposure time.GEM might induce and increase the expression of TMS1/ASC,which might influence the apoptosis of the cells later.The apoptosis of PANC-1 cells induced by GEM is dependent of caspase-1 signaling pathway and independent of NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To validate near-infrared cerebral topography (NCT) as a practical toolin tracing the regional hemodynamic changes during normal ischemic stroke model of rat. Method Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and photosensitizer induced intracranial infarction model of rat were established. The geometric shape and infarction area were measured by NCT, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and TTC stained anatomical imaging techniques. Result In photosensitizer induced infarction model, the correlation between anatomical infarct area and NCT image area for infarct focus were r= 0.897 for 24 h group (P<0.05) and r=0.906 for 2 months group (P<0.01),respectively. The correlation between anatomical infarction area and NCT image area for infarct focus were r=0.820 for normothermia group (P<0.05) and r= 0.851 for hypothermia group (P<0.05), respectively. The correlation between fMRI and NCT image area for infarction focus were r= 0.874 for normothermia group (P<0.05) and r= 0.782 for hypothermia group (P<0.05),respectively. Conclusion Measurement with NCT for infarction focus matched well with fMRI and anatomic sample in rats. NCT technique might be a practical tool for short-term prediction of stroke and the rehabilitation after stroke in real time.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Xiehuo Bushen Decoction (XHBSD), a compound Chinese herbal medicine, on the survival and differentiation of transplanted neural stem cells (NSCs) in brains of rats with intracerebral hemorrhage, and to explore the mechanism of Xiehuo Bushen formula in promoting the survival of transplanted NSCs. METHODS: NSCs separated from hippocampuses of neonatal SD rats were cultured. Sixty-five panel reactive antibody (PRA) positive SD rats were selected by lymphocytotoxicity methods. The PRA positive rats were made into intracerebral hemorrhagic model and divided into three groups: cerebral hemorrhage group (n=15), NSCs transplanted group (n=25) and XHBSD group (n=25). XHBSD was orally administered after 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-marked NSCs were transplanted in brains of rats with intracerebral hemorrhage in the XHBSD group. Rats in the other two groups were administered distilled water. The expressions of interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) mRNAs were measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR); the numbers of BrdU and 200 kD neurofilament (NF200) positive cells were detected by double-labeling immunofluorescence method. RESULTS: The expression of IFN-gamma mRNA was down-regulated significantly in the XHBSD group, but the expression of IL-4 mRNA was up-regulated significantly (P<0.05). The numbers of BrdU and NF200 positive cells were also increased remarkably in the XHBSD group. CONCLUSION: XHBSD can promote the survival and differentiation of transplanted NSCs, which may be related to inducing the expression of IL-4 mRNA and inhibiting the expression of IFN-gamma mRNA.

Objective To evaluate the prevalence and impact of coronary artery disease (CAD) in aged patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection(AD).Methods From January 2008 to December 2011,CAG was routinely performed before aortography and thoracic aortic repair(TEVAR) to determine the prevalence of concomitant CAD in 200 consecutive Stanford type B AD patients who were older than 50 years.All patients received 1 year follow-up.Adverse events were compared between patients with and without concomitant CAD.Data analysis by SPSS 17.0 statistical software,using Student t test,Chi-square test and Fisher exact test.Results CAG showed 53 patients (26.5%) had CAD.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male gender(OR =4.415,95% CI:1.131-17.237,P =0.033) and age (OR =1.061,95% CI:1.017-1.108,P =0.006) were independent predictors of Stanford type BAD coexisted with CAD.Age was also independent predictor of multi-vessel disease(MVD) and/or left main disease(LMD) (OR =1.096,95% CI:1.009-1.191,P =0.023).At 30-day follow-up,there was no difference in the incidence of adverse events between patients with and without concomitant CAD.Patients with concomitant CAD showed higher incidence of myocardial infarction[3 (5.66%) vs.0(0),P =0.018] and stroke [4 (7.55 %) vs.1 (0.68 %),P =0.018].Conclusion The prevalence of CAD in aged patients with Stanford type BAD is relatively high.Concomitant CAD is associated with higher risk of cardio-cerebrovascular ischemic events while dose not increase the risk of adverse aorta related events.

Objective To investigate the left prefrontal lobe activation during semantic and non-semantic encoding tasks with functional near-infrared imaging (fNIRI) technique. Method 22 healthy subjects were assigned semantic encoding and non-semantic encoding tasks. During semantic encoding tasks, subjects were asked to make a meaningful sentence including two unrelated Chinese word pairs, while during non-semantic encoding task they were asked to judge whether the two Chinese word pairs had the same morphological structure or not. Light intensity of two wavelengths (760 nm and 850 nm) diffused through skull and left prefrontal lobe were real-time recorded and used to reconstruct the brain activation image during the experiment. Result With the fNIRI, significant activations were observed in the left inferior prefrontal cortex (Brodmann' areas 45 and 47) during the two tasks, but the evoked activations were more significant for semantic than non-semantic task. These observations were consistent with the results reported by others with functional megnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) and positron-emission tomographyPET.Conclusion The results suggest that fNIRI provides an important, non-invasive way to map the prefrontal activation during cognitive tasks.
