Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated protein 1(TRAP1),also known as HSP75,is a molecular chaperone protein of heat shock protein 90(HSP90)which can be expressed in a variety of human malignant tumor cells.TRAP1 is involved in cell apoptosis,metabolism,intercellular adhesion,movement,invasion and metastasis,and is associated with tumor cell resistance.The latest studies have demonstrated that abnormal expression of TRAP1 was found in the development process of breast cancer,colon cancer,ovarian cancer and other tumors.Further studies have confirmed that TRAP1 plays a key role in the regulation of energy metabolism in tumor cells,by blocking its function can lead to the death of tumor cells,and will not affect the normal cells.As a new target for tumor therapy,TRAP1 is receiving more and more attention.

Objective:To explore means of process quality assessment for antibacterial drug utilization among a-cute appendicitis patients under the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme ( NCMS) through the use of the explicit method in order to provide evidence for the rationality of drug utilization in NRCMS. Methods: Data was collected from the NCMS information system of one county in Shandong Province from 2007 to 2011 and included 1 ,721 cases of acute appendicitis in county and town-level hospitals. The explicit method was employed, which adopted the ad-herence rate to represent drug process quality by comparing the actual antibacterial drug utilized with those recom-mended by quality standards. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative data with Excell2007, Microsoft SQL 2005 and SPSS 17 . 0 . Results: The average overall adherence rate from 2007 to 2011 was 22 . 4% ( SD =22. 3%) at the individual level. The overall adherence rate of township health centers was very low, between 14. 6%and 19. 6%, with no significant difference among the five years. The utilization of cephalosporin drugs was relatively stable at town-level hospitals, that is, third-generation cephalosporins was used most frequently, while cephalosporin, recommended by quality standards, was the least utilized in all five years. At county-level hospitals, fourth-genera-tion drugs were gradually substituted with second and third-generation drugs. Utilization of the recommended drug metronidazole of the nitromidazoles drug group decreased over time at both the town and county-level hospitals, and the drug was gradually substituted by tinidazole and ornidazole, especially in county-level hospitals. Conclusions:From 2007 to 2011 , the rationality of drug utilization was low in the NCMS designated hospitals at both town and county-level hospitals, particularly in town-level hospitals. The underuse of recommended quality standard drugs was the main issue at hand, and this situation experienced no significant changes during the study period.

The health care system has always faced challenges from two competing fronts: rising costs and quality concerns. The common issue of debate confronted by various health care systems is whether or not rising medi-cal expenditure can lead to quality improvements. The key to addressing this issue is to figure out the correlation be-tween quality of care and medical expenditure. Based on Donabedian’s structure, process and outcome quality theory, this study reviews relevant international studies related to this topic in order to provide empirical evidence in a clearer way. Results show that the analysis of current studies have typically been based on the regional level, health provider level and patient level; the quality indicators used varied among studies while expenditure indicators had much in common;more studies were found to focus on the association between outcome quality and expenditure while less studies explored the link between structure or process quality and expenditure; additionally, the majority of relevant studies were located in the inpatient setting and studies from outpatient settings were found to be lacking. Overall, ac-cording to current knowledge, no inclusive conclusion could be obtained, but quality indicators, data and methods, and limitations revealed in these studies can be reviewed by future study to explore the correlation between quality and expenditure of medical care in a more objective way.

Objective To achieve the software automatic updates and maintenance in the local area network which is developed based on the C/S structure. Methods Based on the existing software and hardware development platform,we use PowerBuilder to exploit and compile a program which can determine whether the software need to update automatically or not under the premise of unchanging the existing LAN software system. Results When the user terminal in the local area network runs this program,they can update it automatically whenever they need. Conclusion This method will greatly reduce the later maintenance software,upgrade works and also improve the work efficiency and accuracy.

Costimulatory signals have become a hot field in immunological researches. As co-inhibitory molecules, programmed death-1 ( PD-1) and its ligands (PD-1/PD-L) have been demonstrated to play an important role in autoimmune disease, organ transplant rejection, microorganism infection, tumor immune escapes etc. . In recent years,some studies about PD-1/PD-L pathway in ophthalmology have been curried out and reported. Some changes were found in PD-1/PD-L pathway, such as ocular immunologic diseases, ocular infectious diseases, ocular tumors, immune privilege in ocular tissues and so on. Through the research on PD-1/PD-L pathway,we can further understand the pathogenesis of some ocular diseases and find new methods for their prevention and treatments. This article reviewed the recent advances in PD-1/PD-L pathway in ophthalmological physiopathology.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Qiangji Recipe (QR) in ad- junctive treatment of axial undifferentiated spondyloarthritis (axuSpA) through a four-week open study.

METHODSFifty-four axuSpA patients of Shen-deficiency Du-channel cold syndrome (SDDCS) in line with inclusive criteria were recruited and assigned to the treatment group and the control group according to random digit table, 27 in each group. Patients in the control group took Celecoxib Capsule (0.2 g each time, twice per day). Patients in the treatment group additionally took QR (consisting of Herba Epimedii 15 g, antler glue 15 g, Cibotium Barometz 15 g, eucommia bark 20 g, dipsacus asper 10 g, two toothed achyranthes root 15 g, drynaria 15 g, Taxillus Chinensis 20 g, ground beetle 10 g, scorpion 5 g, wild celery 10 g, notopterygium incisium 10 g, cow-fat seed 10 g, white mustard seed 6 g, and licorice root 6 g, one dose per day, twice daily). The therapeutic course for all was 4 weeks. The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), the Bath AS Metrology Index (BASMI), total body pain and spinal pain, patient and physician global assessment on a four-point scale, the Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured before and after 4 weeks of treatment. The primary end point in this study was the proportion of patients with a 20%improvement response accord- ing to the ASAS International Working Group Criteria (ASAS 20 responders) at week 4.

RESULTSTotally 50 patients completed this trial, 26 in the treatment group and 24 in the control group. Improvement of BASDAI, BASFI, BASMI, ASQoL, ESR, and CRP was shown in both groups after treatment. Better effect was shown in the treatment group in all indices except ESR and BASMI after treatment (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Twenty cases (accounting for 76.92%) in the treatment group achieved ASAS 20 response at week 4, while 12 cases (accounting for 50.00%) in the control group achieved ASAS 20 response at week 4 (P < 0.05). No obvious adverse reaction occurred in the two groups.

CONCLUSIONQR combined Celecoxib Capsule showed better effect in treating axuSpA patients than using Celecoxib Capsule alone.
