Objective To analyze the clinical features of Takayasu′s arteritis (TA) and to evaluate the usefulness of 2D color Doppler flow imaging (2D CDFI) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in diagnosing TA.Methods Fifty eight patients with TA were analyzed.In 26 cases,the 2D CDFI findings were compared with that of DSA.Results ① One hundred and eighty two peripheral arteries were involved in 58 patients including 176 arteries with stenosis or occlusion,mainly with aortic arch syndrome and left side involved.② Compared with DSA,2D CDFI had a higher sensitivity (88%) in diagnosing stenosis and occlusion of vessel cavity in aorta and its main branches,and had a positive predictive value of 100% and anegative predictive value of 0% respectively.Conclusion 2D CDFI has some outstaning features as non invading,safety,cheapness and so on in diagnosing TA,compared with DSA that is usually used as "the gold standard" for the definitive diagnosis of this disease.2D CDFI is able to depict vessel wall thickening,which is a major pathologic feature of the disease and it is suitable for long term repeated follow up.

The aim of this study is to investigate the apoptotic inhibition and its molecular mechanism of dexamethasone (DEX) acting on cisplatin (CDDP)-induced apoptosis of human lung adenocarcinoma cell SPC-A1; SPC-A1 cells were pre-cultured in vitro for 24 hours with DEX in different concentrations and then CDDP was added in different concentrations for culturing for further 48 hours. The survival rates of the cells were determined by MTT. The expression of serum/glucocorticoid-induced kinase (SGK-1) and mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) in SPC-A1 cells after being cultured by 1 micromol/l DEX at different time was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR technology. The expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in SPC-A1 cells was measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) with biotin-labeled anti-GR. The results of MTT showed that SPC-A1 cells had resistance to CDDP-induced apoptosis with pre-cultured DEX and the resistance intensity presented DEX concentration-dependent. The expressing quantity of SGK-1 in SPC-A1 cells stimulated by DEX could be elevated and increased with intention of time, but the express of MKP-1 was not detected. Up-regulated expression of GR in SPC-A1 cells stimulated by DEX was detected by IHC. The number of cells expressing GR in SPC-A1 cells was significantly higher than that in the control group. The results showed that DEX inhibited apoptosis of SPC-A1 cells induced by CDDP. The possible molecular mechanism is that elevated expression of GR induced by DEX up-regulates the expression of SGK-1 which locates at the downstream of anti-apoptosis pathway. The apoptosis resistance of SPC-A1 cells may account for all above the factors.

Objective The study was focused on the current situation of human resources of pharmaceutical enterprises in Heilongjiang Province, to solve the problems of workforce shortage in small- and medium-sized pharmaceutical enterprises, and put forward corresponding countermeasures. Methods A convenient sampling method was used to investigate the basic situation of 12 pharmaceutical enterprises in Heilongjiang Province in June - November 2016, and interviews and questionnaire survey were conducted with the employees of human resources departments. The basic situation of the survey included: the general situation, the demand for talent, the development of pharmaceutical enterprises and so on. Staff interviews included: the number of talents introduced and the number of outflows in the past 3 years, human resources needs, knowledge and ability of pharmaceutical enterprises. The staff survey included: employee job satisfaction, turnover tendency and career development prospects. Results The number of employees in the 12 pharmaceutical enterprises was 22065. Employees' age was in 34 - < 44 years old, with low education qualifications, 74.6% (16456/22065) of employees attended junior college or below . There were 6246 technical personnel , most of them (3678) received college education. In the interviews with 36 employees, it was found that the pharmaceutical enterprises were short of workforce. The unstable sources for the workforce and brain drain were the biggest problem in the development of pharmaceutical enterprises. In the 591 questionnaires, 24.6%(145/591) of employees had the idea of changing jobs in the past year. Conclusion Pharmaceutical enterprises should pay attention to the introduction and training of talented staff, and develop a series of preferential conditions to attract them, so as to achieve the goal of thriving enterprises by talented workforce.

Objective　To evaluate the diagnostic value of 99Tcm-HL91 in experimental tumor and inflammation models comparing with 99Tcm-MIBI. Methods　Three kinds of solid neoplasm bearing mice (Ehrlich carcinoma bearing mice, H22 carcinoma bearing mice and human ovarian COC1 neoplasm bearing nude mice) and two inflammation models (chemical and bacterial inflammation) underwent static whole body planar imaging at 1 and 4 hours after injection of 99Tcm-HL91. Two kinds of neoplasm bearing mice (Ehrlich carcinoma bearing mice,H22 carcinoma bearing mice) and two inflammation models (chemical and bacterial inflammation) underwent static planar imaging after injection of 99Tcm-MIBI, at early phase (10～20 minutes) and delayed phase (2 h). All of the mice were sacrificed at 4 h. The tumors, or inflammatory lesions, blood and contralateral normal muscles served as controls were removed, weighted and the radioactivity was measured. ROIs were drawn around tumor, inflammatory lesions and contralateral muscles in planar images, and the radioactivity ratios of target (tumor or inflammatory lesions)-to-blood (T/B), target-to non target (contralateral muscles) i.e. T/NT were calculated. Results　Neoplasms were clearly visible in planar images at 1 and 4 h after injection of 99Tcm-HL91 in all tumor models. At the same time inflammatory lesions could not be seen clearly. Neoplasms were seen in delayed phase in 99Tcm-MIBI group, but it was not easy to distinguish them from inflammation. The T/B ratios and T/NT ratios of 99Tcm-HL91 tumor model groups were significantly higher than that of 99Tcm-MIBI tumor model groups. The T/NT ratios of tumors were significantly higher than that of inflammatory lesions in 99Tcm-HL91 groups. Conclusion　Compared with 99Tcm-MIBI imaging, 99Tcm-HL91 is of much more diagnostic value in detection of certain solid neoplasms, and can distinguish neoplasm from inflammation.
