OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of temozolomide(TMZ)in combination with dexamethasone(DXM)on the proliferation of human gliocytoma U251 cells in vitro.METHODS:Human U251 cells were assigned to 1 of the 3 groups: TMZ(10,25,50,100,200,400?mol?L~(-1),respectively)alone or in combination with 40?mol?L~(-1)DXM(TMZ+DXM group)or control group(none drug).After treatment for 72 hours,the cell morphology,cell inhibition ratio,cell cycle and the apoptotic rate were detected.RESULTS:When TMZ concentration was greater than 100?mol?L~(-1)the cell inhibition ratio was higher in TMZ-treated group than in TMZ+DXM-treated group(P

The event of “diagnosing mental disorder but actually not” violates patients′right of informed con-sent and refused to health , showing some problems of “diagnosing mental disorder but actually not” and mandatory admission process and psychiatric judicial authentication , and also have some ethical problems .Therefore, relevant departments should perfect the laws and regulation , establish a hospitalized psychiatric patients appeal , the appeal channels , at the same time , physicians should follow a correct understanding , respect patients rights , disinterest-ed, the ethical principles of self -supervision and also use constraints should be regulated .

Objective To observe the preventive effect of epidural injection with low - dose of ketamine on postanesthesia shivering(PAS) undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ～Ⅱ grade patients aged 35 ～ 72 years undergoing PCNL were randomly divided into kctamine group (n = 30, Epidural injection of 0.5mg/kg of ketamine) ,Control group(n = 30, Epidural injection of 10ml saline). The rate of shivering was observed and recorded during operation,and blood pressure and respiration were measured. Results The rate of shivering in ketamine group(10%) was significantly lower than that in control group(46.7%, P ＜ 0.05) ,There were no significant differences of blood pressure and respiration between two groups (P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Epidural injection 0.5 mg/kg of ketamine on postanesthesia can prevent shivering in PCNL.

Objective To investigate the effect of ERK in apoptosis of neuron induced by endotoxemia,provide the theory basis for the early intervention. Methods Wistar rats aged 10 day were randomly divided into two groups:LPS group and NS group. Neuron apoptosis at 6、12、72 h after abdomen injection were detected by TUNEL method, the expressions of ERK were measured by immunohistochemial method.Results ( 1 ) apoptosis cell appeared at 6 hour in LPS group, but the apoptosis index showed no difference from NS group( P ＞ 0. 05 ). The apoptosis cell obvious increased at 12 hour, peaked at 72 hour( P ＜ 0. 05 ,P ＜0. 01 ). (2) As compared with NS group, the expression of ERK increased at 6 h ( P ＜ 0. 01 ), obviously decreased at 12 h(P ＜0. 01 ) ,and reversed to the level of NS group at 72 h(P ＞0. 05). Conclusion LPS can induce the neuron apoptosis in young rats, the ERK is activated and could play role in apoptosis.

Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) can directly act on tumor cells to inhibit their growth,and could also migrate to the tissue lesions and tumor tissues to transfer and express many kinds of anti-cancer factors.Numerous researches have applied MSCs as carriers of drugs to induce apoptosis,inhibit differentiation of tumor cells and inhibit tumor angiogenesis,and have got outstanding antitumor results.

ObjectiveTo assess the sepsis score used for detecting the mortality of patients with sepsis in emergency department, and to compare with APACHE Ⅱ score, simplified acute physiology Ⅱ score ( SAPS Ⅱ ) and modified early warning score (MEWS) in terms of 28-day mortality of patients. Methods A total of 613 patients with sepsis were enrolled from the emergency department for a prospective study from September 2009 to September 2010. The sepsis score, APACHE Ⅱ score, SAPS Ⅱ score and MEWS score all were recorded and compared. The patients with sepsis were followed up for 28 days. Based on the sepsis score, patients with sepsis were stratified into 5 mortality risk groups, namely very low risk group (0～4 points), low risk group (5 ～7 paints), moderate risk group (8 ～ 12 points), high risk group ( 13 ～ 15points) and very high risk group (more than 15 points). The actual mortality rates were compared among all 5 groups by using Chi square test. Then, comparison between survivors and non-survivors carried out with logistic regression analysis to determine the independent risk factors of mortality.Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to compare the sepsis score with APACHE Ⅱ score, SAPS Ⅱscore and MEWS in respect of the prognosis validity. ResultsTen patients were out of the follow-up and the data of 603 patients followed up were completely documented. The actual mortality rates of 5 risk groups were 0％, 7.7％, 18.5％, 46. 7％ and 63％, respectively. There were significant differences in age and four scoring systems between survivors ( n = 440) and non-survivors ( n = 163 ) ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). Sepsis score,APACHE Ⅱ score, SAPS Ⅱ and MEWS all were valid and eligible for detecting the risk of mortality in patients with sepsis. The ROC areas under the curve (AUC) of these 4 scoring systems were 0. 767, 0. 743,0. 741 and 0. 636, respectively. ConclusionsThe sepsis score can be used to stratify patients with sepsis according to mortality risk with better sensitivity to predict 28-day mortality. It is rational for evaluation in prediction of patients with sepsis in Emergency Department.

Through the review on the 2 months visit to College of Nursing of Michigan State University,I'd like to share the ideas with others.The conten of nursing education,clinical nursing,nursing research and patient safety to improve quality of nursing education.

Ongoing improvement of the laws, rules and regulations are putting the diagnosis and verification of occupational diseases in China onto a legal and standard track. A case study of the "Pneumouconiosis event" of migrant worker Z in 2009 analyzed the challenges and causes of such system.In addition, the authors probed into the fundamental principles to follow in the diagnosis and verification,and raised recommendations for a better diagnosis and verification system in China.

BACKGROUND: As demonstrated by recent reports, immediate early genes (IEGs) are rapidly induced and expressed when a songbird is stimulated either by bird-song or by its vocal-behavior. The expression area and level of IEGs in the brain, such as zenk, c-fos and c-jun, are corresponding to where and how the neurons are related as a songbird is stimulated, suggesting that IEGs play important roles in vocal learning and memory.OBJECTIVE: To study the relation between vocal learning of songbird and immediate early gene so as to understand the mechanism of human language and the control of central nervous system.DATA SOURCES: All papers were cited from MEDLINE with the keywords of "songbird, vocal learning, memory, zenk, c-fos and c-jun" in English between January 1990 and December 2001. Meanwhile, we searched the Chinese journals full-text database and Wanfang database with the same keywords in Chinese between January 1990 and November 2001 were also searched.STUDY SELECTION: The papers about immediate early genes and vocal learning and memory in songbirds were selected. Then non-randomly controlled studies were excluded, and the rest full-text papers were looked up.DATA EXTRACTION: Totally 17 papers about immediate early genes and vocal learning and memory in songbirds were found. We choose 11 papers in them and 6 was excluded because of summarization.DATA SYNTHESIS: ① zenk and vocal behavior: Expression of zenk in bird's brain can affect learning and memory through adjusting synthesis of special protein. ② Reaction of c-fos to various songs: The reaction of local neurons in bird's brain to the birdsongs are made by the decision of the numbers of song factor in learning songs. ③ Associations of c-jun and cfos: zenk, fos and jun are the necessaries for maintaining long-term memory, which produce a marked effect through signal transduction, reconstruction, synthesis and transduction of induced synapse.CONCLUSION: Immediate early genes (IEGs) are rapidly induced and expressed when a songbird is stimulated either by bird-song or by its vocal-behavior. The expression area and level of IEGs in the brain, such as zenk, c-fos and c-jun, are corresponding to where and how the neurons are related as a songbird is stimulated, suggesting that IEGs play important roles in vocal learning and memory.
