[ ABSTRACT] Prenyl diphosphate synthase subunit 2 ( PDSS2), which encodes the second subunit of prenyl diphosphate synthase, an essential enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), is almost expressed in all tissues and organs at different developmental stages of human beings.The abnormal expression of PDSS2 may result in many diseases through impacting the biosynthesis of CoQ10.Recent studies show that PDSS2 gene has decreased in mela-noma, gastric cancer, lung cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma, and the degree of reduced level is closely related to the clinical features, which enlighten us that PDSS2 maybe a tumor suppressor gene involves in the development and progres-sion of carcinoma.This review aims to introduce the recent research progress about PDSS2 gene on carcinoma, discuss its roles and value on cancer research.

The concentration of 5 nucleosides, uracil, uridine, guanidine, adenine and adenosine in culture of Paecilomyces hepialid was determined by the developed method of HPLC. The HPLC method was performed on a Waters SunFire C18 (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 μm) column with methanol-water gradient elution as the mobile phase. The detection wavelength was 260 nm and the colunmn temperature was controlled at 30 °C. The linear range was 10.00-200.00 mg · L(-1) (r = 0.9994) for uracil, 10.10-202.00 mg · L(-1) (r = 0.9992) for uridine, 10.00-200.00 mg · L(-1) (r = 0.9991) for guanidine, 10.30-206.00 mg · L(-1) (r = 0.9992) for adenine and 10.45-209.00 mg · L(-1) (r = 0.9991) for adenosine, respectively. The RSD of precision was 0.032%, 0.035%, 0.039%, 0.049%, 0.00080%, respectively. The average recoveries of uracil, guanidine, adenine, and adenosine were 97.34%, 99.10%, 101.6%, 98.61% and 100.2% with RSD of 1.3%, 2.1%, 0.96%, 0.95%, and 1.3% respectively. The method showed high sensitivity, good selectivity, linearity and repeatability, which was suitable for the content analysis of 5 nucleosides components in P. hepialid and its extracts.

0.05).Conclusion There may be no significant difference in sensory block,motor block and prevalence of adverse effects between injection rates of 0.27 mL/s and 0.04 mL/s in spinal anesthesia with 20 mg isobaric ropivacaine.

OBJECTIVE: To study the application of isokinetic muscle testing in identification of the faked paralysis to provide scientific data for establishing a standard system of muscle strength in forensic medicine identification. METHODS: Fifty-seven patients with bone fracture or nerve damage as damaged group and 128 normal subjects pretended paralysis as faked paralyzed group were included in this study. Isokinetic muscle testing was performed on bilateral knees of all subjects in the two groups. The peak torque (PT) and peak torque angle (PTA) were compared between both sides in each group. The features of torque-time graph of two groups were classified. RESULTS: In the damaged group, the differences of PT between two sides of flexors and extensors were statistically significant (P<0.05), while the dif- ferences of PTA were not statistically significant (P>0.05). In faked paralyzed group, the differences of PT and PTA between two sides of flexors and extensors were both statistically significant (P<0.05). The torque-time graph of damaged knee presented mostly as single lead peak, while torque-time graph of the faked paralyzed knee presented mostly as multiple peaks. CONCLUSION The feature of torque-time graph could be useful to identify the faked paralyzed extremities in forensic authentication.

Objective To investigate the optimal combination and the value of functional magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of breast tumors. Methods One hundred and forty patients who had been clinically and pathologically diagnosed as breast tumors in our hospital during the period of 2009 to 2013 were collected. 63 of whom had breast cancer and 77 had benign tumor. All the patients received 1H-MRS, DWI and dynamic enhanced MRI at the same time. The obtained images were analyzed and then compared with the pathological findings. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of MRS combined with DWI or dynamic enhanced MRI, or DwI combined with enhanced MRI in the diagnosis of breast cancer were obtained. Results All the diagnosis were pathologically confirmed. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 89.8%, 90.1%, and 90.0% for DWI combined with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI; 77.9%, 77.3% and 79.3% for MRS in combination with enhanced MRI; and 76.3%, 77.8% and 77.1% for DWI combined with MRS. There were significant differences among the three kinds of combination detection in diagnosis of breast cancer , χ2= 9.057, P = 0.011. Conclusions The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy is the highest in DWI combined with dynamic enhanced MRI in the diagnosis of breast tumor , which can be used as the best combination imaging for breast tumor.

[Objective]To observe the effect of Bupiwei Shengyang Sanhuo Decoction in treating the atrophic glossitis ocurrring in intermediate or advanced stage tumor patients.[Methods]We chose 44 malignant tumor patients complicating atrophic glossitis,divided them into the control group,herbal group and western medicine group randomly.Finally it contrasted the effect among three groups.[Result]The healing rate(26.7%),total effective rate(66.7%)and the appetite improvement rate(60%)of the herbal group were better than the other two groups(P

Objective To explore a brief regimen to treat and manage asthmatic patients.Methods 122 asthmatic patients(including 12 inpatients) treated and managed at respiratory clinic were followed up for 1～10 years.The data of these patients were collected and analysed Results On the base of asthma education patients were received inhaled glucocorticoid combined with ? 2 agonist and/or theophylline for two to five years Of 122 patients,20(16 4%) patients remised and remained good control without any medication,90(73 8%) patients relapsed within 1 to 2 years after drug withdrawal Conclusions Asthmatic patients must be treated and managed regularly according to GINA It was especially emphasized that inhaled glucocorticoid is the mainstay of ling term threapy Most patients can remise for quite a long time with agreeable quality of life while a few patients can be cured
