OBJECTIVE:To analyze and compare the congruity between Maria and DDW-J standard and Roussel uclaf causali-ty assessment method(RUCAM)for diagnosing drug-induced liver injury(DILI),and evaluate its application. METHODS:In ret-rospective analysis,the clinical data of 122 patients with DILI with RUCAM ≥3 scores was quantitatively scored by Maria and DDW-J standard,χ2 test was conducted for statistical analysis. RESULTS:Among the 122 cases,120 cases(98.4%)were classi-fied as“likely and possible”by DDW-J standard,which was significantly higher than the 58 cases(47.5%)that classified as“pos-sible”by Maria standard,with statistical significance;and compared with Maria standard,DDW-J standard was more closer to RU-CAM scoring results. CONCLUSIONS:DDW-J standard is superior to Maria standard,and close to RUCAM scoring results for DI-LI;RUCAM is still the DILI diagnostic evaluation system with high accuracy and operability.

Methods One hundred and seventeen surgical-resected pancreatic specimens, including 24 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, 19 peritumoral ductal atypical hyperplasia, 58 peritumoral ductal hyperplasia, 19 normal duct at the tumor-free margin and 24 ductal lesion from chronic pancreatitis were obtained, and DNA was extracted from the specimens. Codon 12 K-ras mutations were examined using two-step polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with restriction enzyme digestion, non radioisotopic single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis and automated DNA sequencing. Results K-ras mutation rate in the lesion of pancreatic carcinoma was 79.2%(19/24), which was significantly higher than 33.3%(8/24) in the lesion of chronic pancreatitis( P

BACKGROUND: Cardiac stem cells can differentiate into cardiomyocytes in vitro under induction of pilose antlerpolypeptides, which provides a new therapeutic idea for myocardial injury.OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of pilose antler polypeptides on the apoptosis rate and membrane stability ofmitochondria in cardiac stem cells.METHODS: We chose healthy male Wistar rats born 2 days to extract cardiac stem cells. The culture dish was used asthe experimental unit, and extracted cells were divided into the following four groups (n=12). Blank control group: Thesame amount of buffer was added for induction; 5-azacytidine group: induced with 5-azacytidine (3 μmol/L); pilose antlerpolypeptides group: induced with pilose antler polypeptides (800 mg/L); combined group: induced with pilose antlerpolypeptides (800 mg/L) and 5-azacytidine (3 μmol/L). After 48 hours induction, apoptosis rate of cardiac stem cells ineach group was detected with flow cytometry. The membrane potential of mitochondria in cardiac stem cells wasdetected with immunofluorescence. The expression level of Nkx 2.5, GATA4, ATF-2, and MEF-2C in cardiac stem cellswas detected using western blot assay.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There were small, round and bright cells after 2 weeks culture, and cell colonies ofcardiac stem cells formed. The apoptosis rate of cardiac stem cells in the 5-azacytidine group increased significantly (P <0.05) and its membrane potential decreased significantly compared with the blank control group (P < 0.05). Theapoptosis rate of cardiac stem cells in the pilose antler polypeptides group and combined group decreased significantlycompared with the 5-azacytidine group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and their membrane potential increased significantly (P <0.05, P < 0.01). The results of western blot showed that the expression level of Nkx2.5 increased significantly in thepilose antler polypeptides group and combined group compared with the 5-azacytidine group (P < 0.05), while theexpression levels of GATA4 and ATF-2 in each group were low and there were no significant differences among groups(P > 0.05). The expression level of MEF-2C in each group was at a middle level, and there were no significantdifferences among groups (P > 0.05). To conclude, our experimental findings indicate that pilose antler polypeptidescould decrease the apoptosis rate and improve membrane stability of mitochondria in cardiac stem cells. Themechanism may be related to the increased expression of Nkx 2.5, but whether the mechanism is related to GATA4,ATF-2 and MEF-2C needs to be further studied.

Objective To investigate the expressions of Livin ? and Livin ? in marrow mononuclear cells(MMNCs)of childhood acute leukemia(CAL)and explore the clinical significance.Methods Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of Livin ? and Livin ? in MMNCs of CAL,respectively.Results Both Livin? and Livin? expression rates and expression levels were higher in preliminary diagnosis group(n=51)of CAL,including acute lymphoblastic leukemia(n=39)and acute myeloid leukemia(n=12),compared with the control group(P5%)to induction chemotherapy of ALL than in the patients without chemotherapy(P

Objective To study the effect of combination mode of blood purification on insulin resistance in MODS patients and discuss the best mode of blood purification to improve insulin resistance in MODS patients.Methods A total of 60 MODS pa-tients were selected and randomly divided into control group(single mode of blood purification)and treatment group(combination mode of blood purification),each group of 30 cases.Blood glucose (BG),glucose standard deviation (BGSD),coefficient of variation of blood glucose (BGCV),regular insulin dosage (Ins),fasting insulin (FINS),insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR),HbA1c,C-re-active protein (CRP)was observed before and after treatment.Results BG,HbA1c,FINS,CRP,HOMA-IR,Ins of experimental group was lower than that of control group (P <0.05).After treatment,BG,FINS,CRP,HOMA-IR,Ins was declined in experi-mental group (P <0.05).After treatment,HbA1c was not changed in experimental group (P >0.05 ).Conclusion Combination mode blood purification may be more effective to insulin resistance in MODS patients.

Objective To investigate the empathy of obstetric nurses and the related factors.Methods Chinese Version of the Jefferson Scale of Empathy was used to investigate the empathy of 80 obstetric nurses in our hospital and the related factors.Results The score on empathy of obstetric nurses was 65~137,averaged 108.87±10.62 and ranked at the medium level.The empathy was mainly influenced by whether the nurses had studied the empathy-related courses and the satisfaction with their occupation and working environment.Conclusion The empathy of obstetric nurses is at the medium level.Their empathy is mainly influenced by whether the nurses have studied the empathy-related courses and the satisfaction of their occupation and working environment.In addition to promote the training,the nursing manager should improve the satisfaction of the occupation and working environment.

Objective To purify recombinant methioninase and investigate the synergetic inhibitory effect of methioninase and cisplatin on the proliferation of human lung adenocarcinoma cell line GLC. Methods Recombinant methioninase was purified with GST-column from supernatant after ultrasonic disruption of cultured Escherichia coli in the prokaryotic expression system pGEX-4T-1-Met/Dh5a. MTT assay was used to determine the inhibition rate of methioninase in combined with cisplatin on cell proliferation,and their synergistic effect was evaluated by using the q value judge method. Results The concentration of recombinant methionine cleaving enzyme was 0.22 mg/mL, the purity was 95%, and the activity was 0.568 IU/mg. After 72 h culturing, the inhibition rate of cisplatin methionine was 24.80%and 27.49%respectively,while the inhibition rate of the combined drugs was 66.80% ( =1.47>1.15) which showed a significant synergistic effect. Conclusion Both methioninase and cisplatin have the inhibition effect,and the combined drugs display a significant synergistic effect on the proliferation of GLC.

Objective To investigate the incidence of trisomy 12(+12) and 11 q23 deletion [ del ( 11q23) ] in chronic lymphocyticleukemia (CLL). Methods Fluorescein labeled DNA probe 12 and sequence specific probe ATM for 11q23 were used to perform inter-phase fluorescence in situ hybridization (I-FISH) assays in 30 patients with CLL. The results were compared with that of conventional cyto-genetic (CC) examination. Results With CC examination , only 4 cases (13.3%) were found to have chromosomal abnormalities, whereaswith I-FISH assay ,8 cases (26.7%) were found to have genomic aberrations, including trisomy 12 in 5 cases , deletion of 11q23 in 3 ca-sea. Conclusion I-FISH is a useful method for detection of genomie aberration in CLL, the significance of trisomy 12 and del (11q23) inpredicting the prognosis of B-CLL need to be investigated further.
