AIM:To study the effects of lipopolysaccharide(LPS), interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF?) on tissue factor(TF) expression of astrocytes. METHODS:Astrocytes were identified with anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein antibody. The TF activity of cell lysate was measured with one stage clotting assay. RESULTS:TF activity of astrocytes of LPS,IL-6,TNF? groups were obviously higher than that of the control group( P

Objective To analyze the relationship between needs of assistive devices and the three other factors (age, disability categories, severity levels of disability) in order to scientifically formulate subsidy policy on assistive devices.MethodsThe assessment of rehabilitation needs for 928 Shenzhen citizens with new disability certificates in its six districts was performed by professionals, and the data was recorded into ACCESS database and analyzed.ResultsThe sequence of demand rates on assistive devices among disability categories was vision disability (78%), hearing disability (76%) and physical disability (74%); but speech, mental retardation and psychological disabilities had a low demand. The demand rates of assistive devices were dissimilar among four age groups for persons with vision, hearing and physical disabilities; for severity levels of three disability categories of vision, hearing and physical disabilities: the milder the vision disability was, the greater demand rates of assistive devices were; the demand rate of those with the second level of hearing disability was the highest; the demand rates of persons with the first and second levels of physical disability were relatively higher.ConclusionWhen drawing up subsidy policy on assistive devices for persons with disability, the disability categories, ages of persons with disability and severity levels of disability should be considered; the different types of assistive devices should be supplied according to rehabilitation goals at different age group; and necessary assistive devices should be provided according to severity levels of disability.

An empirical study on the analysis of the social responsibility information which includes corporate social responsibility reports, annual reports and official website social responsibility part, of 62 selected Chinese listed corporate is performed using co-word analysis. We have clustered 39 key words which refined from the social responsibility management information into five index, which are characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine industry, cultural, quality, operation and sustainable development. The quality of construction, cultural products and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine industry itself are the hot social responsibility information, and also can be used as key factors in the enterprise brand evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine.

Based on the current status of allocation, demands and utilization of medical care resources and the needs for future development in Shanghai, the overall objectives, principles, key plans of allocation of medical care resources in the 12th Five-years Plan in Shanghai and the leading role of health bureaus at all levels were discussed.

Objective To assess the irregular shape of hematoma with math methods,which is one of the risk factors of hematoma enlargement.Methods We reviewed images data of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage treated nonsurgically who underwent initial computed tomography (CT) within 6 hours and repeated CT within 48 hours of onset.The area(s),the circumference(L),the greatest diameter(A)and the transverse diameter(B)of the greatest hemorrhage CT slice was measured.The formula X=L/S waft used to calculate the value.We calculated the area(S1)and the circumference (L1) of the ellipse with A as its long diameter and B as its short diameter.The formula X1=S1/L1 was used to calculate the value. We used formula R=X/X1 to assess the irregular hematoma shape.The relationships between hematoma enlargement and R was analyzed. Results Thirty-one patients(25.8%) showed enlarged hematomas after admission.The larger the value of R,the more irregular the shape of hematoma.When R≥1.3,the shape of the hematoma was significantly irregular.36.0% patients with R≥1.3 had hematoma enlarged.compared with only 18.6% those with R<1.3(χ2=4.62,P=0.032).Conclusions The irregular shape index R Can be used to assess the shape of a hematoma. A particularly high likelihood of hematoma enlargement is observed in patients with an irregularly shape index R≥1.3.

AIM: To evaluate the implication of CXCL10-loop3-EGF fusion protein for the activities of targeting tumor and anti-angiopoiesis. METHODS: RT-PCR was preformed to amplify CXCL10 coding sequence from PBMC activated by IFN-γ. CXCL10-loop3-EGF fusion gene, which was conducted by Over-Lap Extention PCR, was hinged up with plasmid pTG19-T, transfected to E. coli DH5α and processed positive colony selection. After ligated with plasmid pET32a(+), recombinant CXCL10-loop3-EGF fusion gene was then transfected to E. coli Origami B (DE3) and induced to express its coding fusion protein his-CXCL10-loop3-EGF. The recombinant fusion protein CXCL10-loop3 -EGF was purified by His-bind affinity chromatograph, enterokinase cleavage, ultrafiltration and dislysis. The transwell chemotatic test and HUVEC angiopoiesis inhibition test were performed to determine the anti-tumor responses and anti-angiopoiesis activity of CXCL10-loop3-EGF fusion protein. RESULTS: CXCL10-loop3-EGF fusion protein was successfully constructed and confirmed by SDS-PAGE analysis and Western blotting. Significant PBMC chematatic activity and HUVEC anti-angiopoiesis activity were observed. CONCLUSION: CXCL10-loop3-EGF fusion protein, which has perfect anti-tumor activity, is successfully constructed.

Objective To explore the impact and significance of hypoxia preconditioning on the expression of cytochrome C and caspase 3 protein in rats after hepatic resection.Methods A hepatectomy model was used to study the ischemia reperfusion injury in hepatic resection.Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the following three groups:normal control (NC) group,hepatic resection(HR) group,and hypoxia preconditioning (HP) group,there were twenty four rats in each group.HP Group was given an 10％ oxygen-mixed gas for 90 minutes before the operation.At 1,6,12 and 24 hours after the operation,the rats were killed and the following tests were conducted:(1) Liver tissue was sampled to observe the expression of cytochrome C and caspase 3 protein; (2) blood was drawn to conduct a chemical examination; (3) Liver tissue and morphology was observed by transmission electron microscopy.Results The serum levels of ALT and AST in HP group were significantly lower than that of HR group (P＜0.05) at 1,6,12 and 24 hours after the hepatic resection.In each time,liver function of the HP group was significantly better than the HR group; The expression of cytochrome C and caspase 3 protein was decreased significantly in HP group at each measurement point.Hepatic cells in HR group showed typical apoptosis signs under transmission electron microscopy (TEM),but no apoptosis was found in HP group.Conclusion HP has marked inhibition to apoptosis by down-regulating the expression of Cyt C and Caspase-3protein and protection to chondrosomes after a hepatic resection.

Objective To find out some trigger factors for the onset of acute childhood leukemia by examining seasonal distribution through a small cohort study in a single center.Methods The records of 688 childhood patients(age≤15 years)whom were initially diagnosed at Blood Disease Hospital of CAMS from October 2003 to June 2006,were retrospectively analyzed.Results In terms of time,our study provides modest support for sessonal peaks in summer and winter,or in Jan & Jun.Conclusion We initially realized the season tendency of the onset of acute childhood leukemia in some northern parts of China.which suggest that childhood acute leukemia is associated with the infection.
