Objective To increase externally-assigned response, improve energy response of CR39 and develop positive fast/thermal neutron personal dosimeter applicable for occupational exposure in oil and gas field logging by using pre-recoil layer.Methods The externally-assigned response of CR39 detector was improved through increasing the track density by using the α particle induced by the reaction of 10B(n,α) 7Li with the BN as pre-recoil layer, and the increase was vilified by using both Monte-Carlo simulation and experiment exposed by standard neutron source.Results Fast/thermal neutron personal dosimeter's neutron flux sensitivity and neutron dose equivalent sensitivity were 3.46 × 10-4 track per 0.013 and 52.8 mSv.According to theoretical derivation and experiment of standard 241 Am-Be neutron source, detecting efficiency and energy response of CR39 were effectively improved, and quantitative measurement of dose contributed by thermal neutron was realized.Conclusions CR39 fast/thermal neutron personal dosimeter of high sensitivity is applicable to oil and gas field logging environment and of potential development.

Objective To assess the role of the different pancreatic islet β cell function index in the evaluation of glucose metabolism in different duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods Normal glucose tolerance subjects without diabetes family history (NC group,48 cases) and T2DM patients (182 cases) were enrolled.The T2DM patients were divided into three groups:less than 5 years group (DM ＜5 group,74 cases),5-10 years group (DM5-10 group,51 cases) and more than 10 years group ( DM ＞10 group,57 cases).Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin release test were taken in all groups.Insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and whole body insulin sensitivity index [ISI(Matsuda)] were used to estimate insulin sensitivity,and early insulin secretion index ( △ I30/ △ G30) and glucose disposition index (DI) were used to evaluate the function of pancreatic islet β cell.Results HOMA-IR was increased and ISI (Matsuda) was decreased in DM ＜5 group,DM5-10 group and DM ＞10 group compared with those in NC group [HOMA-IR:8.78 ± 7.12,8.08 ± 3.67,7.84 ± 5.08 vs.4.76 ± 3.43;ISI(Matsuda):46.78 ± 29.00,36.71 ± 16.67,38.86 ±21.72 vs.61.13 ± 32.08,P ＜ 0.05],however,there was no significant difference among DM ＜5 group,DM5-10 group and DM ＞10 group.△ I30/ △ G30 and DI were decreased in DM ＜5 group,DM5-10 group and DM ＞10 group compared with those in NC group [ △ I30 △ G30:( 68.41 ± 361.52 ),(4.31 ± 3.42 ),(7.70 ± 5.78 ) mU/mmol vs.(92.65 ± 309.29) mU/mmol;DI:0.0421 ± 0.0123,0.0412 ± 0.0123,0.0363 ± 0.0116 vs.0.1151 ± 0.0236,P ＜ 0.05 ],and there was no significant difference in △ I30 / △ G30 among DM ＜5 group,DM5-10 group and DM ＞10 group,however,DI was decreased in DM＞10 group compared with that in DM＜5 group and DM5-10 group (P＜0.05).ConclusionsHOMA-IR,ISI (Matsuda),△I30/△G30 are not sensitive to evaluate the insulin resistance of different duration.DI can reflect the glucose utilization of pancreatic islet β cell earlier and the ability to regulate blood sugar steady state changes.

OBJECTIVETo study the reversal effect of nomegestrol acetate (NOM) on mutidrug resistance (MDR) in MCF7/ADR and its mechanism.

METHODSUsing tetrazolium dye assay, effects of various concentrations of NOM on sensitivity to ADR in MCF7/ADR was studied. Expression of MDR related genes MDR1, glutathoine S-transferase Pi (GSTpi), Topoisomerase II alpha (Topo II alpha) and MDR related protein (MRP) were assayed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunocytochemistry assay. Using flow cytometry (FCM), intracellular ADR concentration effects on cell cycle were observed.

RESULTSNOM significantly reversed MDR in MCF7/ADR. After NOM 20, 10 and 5 micromol/L treatment, the chemosensitivity to ADR increased to 21, 12 and 8 times. The reversal activity of NOM was stronger than that of the precursor compound megestrol acetate, and was comparable to that of verapamail. After treatment with NOM 5 micromol/L both MDR1 and GSTpi mRNA genes expression began to decline on D2 (P < 0.05, & P < 0.01) and reached the lowest level on D3 (both P < 0.01), but the expression levels began to rise on D6 again (both P < 0.05). The expression of MRP and Topo II alpha gave no significant change. Changes of P-gp and GSTpi protein expressions were similar to those of their mRNA expressions, showing early decline and late rise. Two hours after NOM 20, 10, and 5 micromol/L treatment, intracellular ADR concentration increased 2.7, 2.3 and 1.5 times, respectively. FCM data showed that after forty-eight hours, combined administration of NOM (20 micromol/L) and ADR (from low concentration to high concentration), MCF7/ADR cells showed gradual arrest in the G(2)M phase with the increase of ADR dose.

CONCLUSIONNOM has strong reversal effects on MDR in MCF7/ADR. The reversal takes place via different routes, i.e. down regulating mRNA and protein expression levels of MDR1 and GSTpi, increasing intracellular drug concentration, and enhancing the arrest of ADR in cells at G(2)M phase.

Hiatt-Neu-Cooper neurodevelopmental syndrome(HINCONS),a rare neurodevelopmental disorder closely associated with a heterozygous mutation in the RALA gene on 7p14,is characterized by prominent in-tellectual disability or global developmental delay.Currently,no effective treatment options are available for this dis-ease.This article reports a case of HINCONS presenting with global developmental delay,particularly in language and motor development,along with decreased muscle tone,short stature,distinctive facial features,and congenital ventricular septal defect.No significant abnormalities were found in laboratory biochemical tests.Head MRI revealed enlarged ventricles and increased space in the subarachnoid and convexity regions.Trio-based whole exome sequen-cing testing identified a novel variant RALA gene c.475(exon4)A＞G(p.K159E)in the affected child.In this study,we performed a retrospective analysis of the clinical features of 12 reported cases of HINCONS from the litera-ture,with the aim of providing a reference for the clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling of HINCONS.

Objective To explore the effects of target management on pressure ulcer prevention in surgical patients.Method The patients with selective operation were selected as study objects from January 2013 to December 2015. The traditional nursing for pressure ulcer prevention was carried out for operation patients from January 2013 to December 2013. The target management for pressure ulcer prevention was carried out for operation patients from January 2014 to December 2015. And then, we compared the incidence of pressure ulcer, that of patients with high risk of pressure ulcer, annual incidence rate of pressure ulcer of patients with lying position for surgery, distribution of ulcer stage and so on before and after target management. Results The annual incidence rate of pressure ulcer of 2013, 2014, 2015 was 0.23%, 0.11%, 0.07%. The incidence rate of pressure ulcer of 2014 and 2015 was lower than that of 2013 with significant differences (x2=24.23, 43.32 ;P<0.05). The incidence rate of pressure ulcer of patients with high risk of pressure ulcer in 2013, 2014, 2015 was 21.02%, 17.72%, 11.68%. The incidence rate of pressure ulcer of patients with high risk of pressure ulcer in 2013 was higher than that in 2014 , the difference was not significant(x2=1.37, P>0.05). The incidence rate of pressure ulcer of patients with high risk of pressure ulcer in 2013 and 2014 was also higher than that in 2015 with significant differences (x2=13.00,4.88;P<0.05). At the same time, the incidence rate of pressure ulcer of patients with lying position for surgery in 2013, 2014, 2015 was 6.00%, 3.53%, 1.06%. The incidence rate of pressure ulcer of patients with lying position for surgery in 2014 and 2015 was lower than that in 2013 with significant differences (x2=7.63,47.05;P<0.05).Conclusions The implementation of target management can reduce the incidence of pressure ulcer, that of patients with high risk of pressure ulcer, that of patients with lying position for surgery, guarantee the safety of patient and improve the quality of nursing care in operating room.

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the effect of Beclin1 knockdown on cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer A2780 cells and its related mechanisms. Methods: The mRNA and protein expressions of Beclin1 in A2780 cells and drug resistant A2780/DDP cells were determined by qPCR and Western blotting. After transfection with Beclin1 siRNA, the sensitivity of A2780/DDP cells to cisplatin was detected by MTT assay; Cell clone formation and apoptosis were detected by the Colony formation assay and Flow cytometry assay, respectively; cell autophagy was monitored by monodansylcadaverin (MDC) staining. Furthermore, the protein levels of cell autophagy related proteins, lysosomal associated membrane protein Lamp-2 and Cathepsin B were detected by Western blotting. Results: The mRNA and protein expression levels of Beclin1 in cisplatin-resistant A2780/DDP cells were significantly higher than those in A2780 cells (all P<0.05). The expression of Beclin1 was significantly increased in A2780 cells after treated with cisplatin (P<0.05). Beclin1 knockdown promoted cisplatin induced apoptosis of A2780/DDP cells (P<0.05), inhibited autophagy and cell colony formation (all P<0.05), and increased cell sensitivity to cisplatin (P<0.05). Meanwhile, Western blotting showed that Beclin1 knockdown increased the protein levels of cleaved-caspase 3 and Cathepsin B in A2780/DDP cells, while down-regulated the protein expressions of Atg3, Atg7, LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰand Lamp-2 (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Beclin1 knockdown can improve the sensitivity of A2780/DDP cells to cisplatin, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of protective autophagy of cells by regulating the expressions of autophagy related proteins, and the regulation of lysosomes, thus further promoting cisplatin-induced apoptosis of drug-resistant cells.
