Objective To investigate the expression levels of regulator of G-protein signaling 4 (RGS4) in pediatric nephroblastoma and pericancerous tissues, and explore the relationship between RGS4 and the occurrence and development of pediatric nephroblastoma. Methods Thirty-seven samples of pediatric nephroblastoma tissues and 8 samples of pericancerous tissues were collected after surgery to detect the expression of RGS4 protein by immunohistochemistry. Another 8 samples of fresh cancer tissues and corresponding pericancerous tissues were collected to detect the mRNA and protein levels of RGS4 by qRT-PCR and Western blot assay, respectively. Results Immunohistochemistry results showed that RGS4 protein was positively expressed both in pediatric nephroblastoma and pericancerous tissues, and its high expression rate was lower in pediatric nephroblastoma than that in pericancerous tissues [(37.83%(14/37) vs. 87.5%(7/8),χ2=4.675, P<0.05]. The expression level of RGS4 mRNA was significantly lower in pediatric nephroblastoma than that in pericancerous tissues (1.064 ± 0.549 vs. 5.374 ± 0.735, t=13.290, n=8, P < 0.01). Western blot results showed that the expression level of RGS4 protein was lower in pediatric nephroblastoma than that of pericancerous tissues (0.301±0.092 vs. 0.779 ± 0.041, t=13.424, n=8, P < 0.01). Conclusion The expression level of RGS4 is down-regulated in pediatric nephroblastoma, which may be related to the occurrence and development of pediatric nephroblastoma.

The molecular descriptors of impurities with known structure in cefdinir were calculated, selected and associated with the chromatographic retention behavior to establish a model. This quantitative structure retention relationships (QSRR) model for the related substances of cefdinir was established under specific chromatographic condition and verified by other impurities. 12 molecular descriptors were used to establish the QSRR model, F_AFRBWF, Blbn_J, SsCH3, SssCH2, SsNH2, SssNH, SssS, SHdCH2, EEM_AFc, EEM_AFpl, EEM_XFpl and Pi_MaxQ. The relativity between true values and predictions in QSRR of cefdinir is R2 = 0.9836 (n = 18), ΔRRT is no more than 0.154, as 10.17% in RRT. The results indicate that the QSRR model for the related substances of cefdinir can be used to evaluate the analysis methods for related substances and predict the chromatographic behavior of new impurities, which will provide a new way for the evaluation of the effectiveness for drug quality control.

Objective Currently there is little study on the K-Rod pedicle fixation system in the treatment of far lateral lum-ber disc hernaition with multiple segment degeneration.The study was to compare the short-term efficay of K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixa-tion system and lumbar fusion for far lateral lumber disc herniation with multiple segment degeneration. Methods Retrospective a-nalysis were made on 56 patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation with multiple segment degeneration who received operation in General Hospital of Shenyang Military Region from January 2010 to October 2012.They were divided into K-Rod group (combined treatment of lumbar fusion and adjacent degenerative segment unfusion) and traditional fusion group according to different treatments. 28 patients in K-Rod group were treated with K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixation system and 28 cases in traditional fusion group were trea-ted with traditional lumbar fusion and internal fixation.Comparative analysis were made on the indexes before and after operation be-tween two groups, including Oswestry disability index, visual analogous scale (VAS) ,improvement rate of low back pain, postopera-tive lumbar spine X-ray, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative average length of stay. Results 12 to 24 months follow-up were achieved on 56 cases.The Oswestry function score and visual analog scale for both groups were improved significantly at 12 months after operation, and the difference was of statistical significance (P<0.05).Oswestry function scores and vis-ual analog scales between two groups were of no significant difference either before operation or after operation (P>0.05), while the average operation time ([119.6 ±14.2] min vs [155.5 ±17.5]min), the average blood loss ([235.5 ±32.5] mL vs [367.5 ±29. 5] mL), the average length of stay (ALOS) ([10.5 ±2.2] vs [14.2 ±2.6]d) between K-Rod group and traditional fusion group were of significant difference(P<0.05). Conclusion In the treatment of far lateral lumber disc hernaition with multiple segment degeneration, the K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixation system atrributes to less intraoperative blood loss, shorter operation time and little postoperative effect on lumbar spine mobility.

Objective To investigate dynamic changes of plasma D-dimer, C-reactive protein (CRP) and fasting plas?ma glucose (FBG) levels in elderly patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods AECOPD group (n=65) was used as A group, AECOPD combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus group (n=65) was used as B group. Levels of D-dimer, CRP and FBG were observed and compared between two groups in the first day, the 3rd day, the 7th day and the 14th day after hospital admission. The correlation be?tween D-dimer, CRP and FBG was analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the factors affecting increased plasma levels of D-dimer. Results Levels of D-dimer, CRP and FBG were significantly higher in B group than those of A group in the first day, the 3rd day, the 7th after hospital admission (P<0.01). Values of D-dimer and CRP were declined ob?viously in A group in the 7th day after hospital admission, but in B group they were declined obviously until the 14th day. There was no significant difference in FBG of A group. The level of FBG was significantly decreased in B group. There was a positive correlation between D-dimer, CRP and FBG (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that CRP, FBG, p(O2) and age were the influence factors for the increased levels of D-dimer. Conclusion In elderly patients with AECOPD com?bined with type 2 diabetes mellitus, we should pay attention to anti-inflammatory and controlling blood sugar, and the dy?namic monitoring levels of D-dimer, which helps to improve the prognosis for patients with AECOPD, and reduce mortality.
