The purpose of this paper is to present the research on the molecular biological characteristics of proto-oncogene pim-2 and to analyze the related mechanism. Proto-oncogene pim-2 was studied and analyzed by the bioinformatics method and technology. With an online server, the chromosomal localization of pim-2 gene was analyzed, and the exon, open reading frame, CpG island and miRNAs complementary fragments and the like were predicted. With bioinformatics software, the physicochemical property of transcription protein of proto-oncogene pim-2 and various modification sites of protein sequence, such as ubiquitination and glycosylation, were predicted, the antigenic index was calculated, and the spatial structural was modeled. The research findings showed that the proto-oncogene pim-2 comprised six exons, the CDS (coding sequence) transcribed a section of peptide chain including 311 amino acids, a gene promoter has a CpG island, and the 3'UTR region contains an miRNA gene. The molecular weight of the Pim-2 protein was 34,188. 47, the isoelectric point was 5.78, the instability index was 45.87, and the extinction coefficient was 279nm. A plurality of covalent modification sites, two ubiquitination sites, four glycosylation sites, an SUMO sumoylation site, a nitrosation site, two palmitoylation sites and sixteen regions with higher antigenic index were distributed in the protein sequence. This research showed that the related regions and modification sites distributed on the sequence of proto-oncogene pim-2 were closely related to the carcinogenic effect thereof.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of clinical pharmacists in pediatric severe infection treatment,and to provide reference for rational drug use in clinic. METHODS:Based on related typical cases,the breakthrough points of clinical pharmacists providing pharmaceutical care in pediatric severe infection treatment plan were introduced. RESULTS:Clinical pharmacists formu-lated multi-drug resistance pathogenic antibacterial plan according to the results of pathogenic microbiological examination,use pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics,excluded interference to pediatric anti-infection treatment from ADR,and guideline and eco-nomical factors of patients. CONCLUSIONS:Clinical pharmacists adopt professional knowledge of pharmacy to provide pharmaceu-tical care in pediatric severe infection treatment and play professional assisted role so as to guarantee safe,effective and economical treatment.

Objective To explore the clinical behavior,pathological and immunohistochemical characteristics and diagnosis, treatment methods of gastrointestinal stromal sarcomas (GISS). Methods Retrospective analysis was perfomed over 36 GISS patients based on clinical data and pathological data. Results GISS occurred more in the stomach and small intestine, than colon and rectum. Immunohistochemical staining showed CD117, CD34 expression,the positive rates were 91.7% and 86. 1%. Conclusion GISS is a rare malignant tumor, GISS diagnosis depends on the histologic and immunohistochemical test. CD34 and CD117 in the positive diagnosis has its special significance. Surgery is the main treatment.

Results showed that they werefefective for healing of experimental rat bone-injury.

A non-linear rectification based on immune genetic algorithm (IGA) is proposed in this paper, for the shortcoming of the non-linearity rectification. This algorithm introducing the biologic immune mechanism into the genetic algorithm can restrain the disadvantages that the poor precision, slow convergence speed and early maturity of the genetic algorithm. Computer simulations indicated that the algorithm not only keeps population diversity, but also increases the convergent speed, precision and the stability greatly. The results have shown the correctness and effectiveness of the method.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of intraoperative ultrasonography (IUS) in judging the relationship between central bronchogenic carcinoma and pulmonary vessels and in predicting the resectability of the tumor. Methods Intraoperative ultrasonograpy(IUS) and preoperative CT scanning were performed in 30 patients of central bronchogenic carcinoma. The relationship between vessel and tumor as assessed by IUS and preoperative CT were quantified and scored with a ranging from 0-4 respectively, and then the resectability of the tumor and optimal surgical method were predicted according to the scores. Results The accuracy of CT and IUS to determine tumor-vessel relationship was 72.3%(141/195) and 81.0%(171/211), respectively (P=0.037). The sensitivity of CT and IUS in predicting the resectability of tumor was 91.3%(21/23) and 95.6%(22/23), respectively, the specificity was 28.6%(2/7) and 57.1%(4/7), respectively, and the accuracy was 76.7%(23/30) and 86.7%(26/30), respectively. The accuracy of CT and IUS in predicting surgical strategy was 53.3%(16/30) and 63.3%(19/30), respectively(P=0.432). Conclusion IUS is a useful method in predicting the resectability of centrally located bronchogenic carcinoma.

Objective To identify some basic biological properties,optimal multiplicity of infection(MOI),one-step growth kinetics,serum neutralization rate constant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage PaP3 were determined, respectively. Methods The host bacteria were infected with PaP3 at six different MOI(0.0001,0.001,0.01,0.1,1 and 10,then lysated adequately, the phage titer of supernatant was determined.For one-step growth experiments,the host bacteria were infected with PaP3 at MOI=10, following centrifugation after 15 min adsorption,the pellet containing (partially) infected cells was resuspended in 3 ml of pre-warmed LB broth and incubated with 160rpm at 37℃.Samples(50?l) were taken at 10 min-intervals and immediately tittered by the double-layer agar plate method. A rabbit was immunized with purified PaP3 to prepare anti-PaP3 serum, reaction constants between antiserum and PaP1, PaP2, PaP3 were determined using cross neutralization test. Results 0.001 MOI-infected host bacteria gave the highest phage offsprings. One-step growth curve was determined according to the results of one-step growth experiments.Reaction constant was determined using neutralization test. Conclusion The optimal MOI of PaP3 was determined to be 0.001. One-step growth curve for PaP3 shows that the latent period is about 20 min, the rise period is 60 min, and the average burst size is about 31pfu/cell. Rate constant of reaction between antiserum and PaP3 is 262.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of pregabalin assisting anti-histamine drugs in the treat-ment of secondary skin pruritus in uremic patients underwent maintenance hemodialysis. METHODS:140 uremic patients with sec-ondary skin pruritus underwent maintenance hemodialysis were randomly divided into control group and treatment group,with 70 cases in each group. Control group was given loratadine orally,10 mg,qd. Treatment group was additionally given pregabalin on the basis of control group,75 mg,po,at night of hemodialysis end,increasing by 75 mg every week if no obvious relief was found,maximal dose of 300 mg. Both group received 3 months of treatment. Clinical efficacy,VAG itching score,modified Duo score,PSQI score before and after treatment and the incidence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:Total effec-tive rate of treatment group (90.00%) was significantly higher than that of control group (71.43%),with statistical significance (P<0.05);VAG itching score,modified Duo score and PSQI score of treatment group after treatment were significantly lower than control group and before treatment,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Pregabalin assisting anti-histamine drugs in the treatment of secondary skin pruritus in uremic patients with maintenance hemodialysis can efficiently relieve the itching symptoms,improve sleep quality,and not increase the risk of ADR.
