p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K), an important member of AGC family, is a kind of multifunctional Ser/Thr kinases, which plays an important role in mTOR signaling cascade. The p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase is closely associated with diverse cellular processes such as protein synthesis, mRNA processing, glucose homeostasis, cell growth and apoptosis. Recent studies have highlighted the important role of S6K in cancer, which arose interests of scientific researchers for the design and discovery of anti-cancer agents. Herein, the mechanisms of S6K and available inhibitors are reviewed.

To evaluate the application of nueroelectrophysiological tests in early diagnosis of sub-clinical neuropathy in diabetes mellitus (DM), The routine nerve conductive velocity (NCV), F-wave and sympathetic skin response (SSR) were detected in 27 patients with diabetes mellitus but without symptoms and signs of lesions of nerve system. Our results showed that 48.1%, 44.4%, 51.9% of the patients were found to have abnormal NCV, F-wave and SSR respectively. The abnormalities were mainly characterized by prolonged latency, reduced velocity and absence of wave-form. There were significant differences between the controls and the DM group (P < 0.05). Both the distal and proximal segments of nerves were affected and the distal lesions took place earlier than proximal ones and the changes in low extremities were more severe than those of upper extremities. F-wave can be used as a sensitive indicator for the early diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy and it can help to detect the subclincial lesions. SSR can be used for the evaluation of functional status of autonomic nerves in DM patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between plasma neuropeptide Y(NPY) and asphyxia in newborns. Methods Thirty-seven patients with neonatal asphyxia (asphyxia group) and 33 healthy pregnant women(control group )in their third trimester were chosen. The concentrations of plasma NPY were measured by radioimmunoassay. Results The levels of NPY in umbilical artery plasma was (187.47? 46.63) ng/L in asphyxia group,and (115.33?29.42) ng/L in control group. There were significant difference between them ( P 0.05). Conclusions The neonatal asphyxia was associated with NPY. NPY might play an important role in the pathophysiological changes in neonatal asphyxia.

Methods TAS anxiety scale was used for the evaluation of anxious status, and data were analyzed by SPSS software. Results Statistical significance was observed among different specialties. Sex, socioeconomic status and living environment did not affect TAS score. The higher the anxious status was, the worse the studying results will be. The anxious status was associated with some studying behaviors. Conclusions Anxiety was correlated with specialities and studying behaviors, and affected studying result.

Objective To discuss the method and treatment outcome of vascular variation in repairing skin defect of the hand by free transplantation of posterior interosseous perforator flap.Methods Eight cases with vascular variation were adjusted flap position,two cases were repaired by single perforator flap,three cases were repaired by cutting perforator and anastomosing perforator after changing the path,three cases were repaired by designing composition leaves flap.Results Seven flaps survived,one flap partly necrosis and healed by skin-grafting,and all of the patients were followed-up 3 to 18 months.The color,texture and thickness of the flaps were satisfactory.The movements of the fingers were satisfactory.According to the hand function evaluation criteria issued by the Hand Surgery Society of the Chinese Medical Association,outcomes were rated excellent in 1 case,good in 5 cases,fair in 2 cases.The excellent and good rate was 75％.Conclusion When finding vascular variation in repairing skin defect of the hand by free transplantation of posterior interosseous perforator flap,adjust flap position,repair by single perforator flap,cutting perforator and anastomosing perforator after changing the path,or designing composition leaves flap is a good treatment option.

Objective To compare the efficacy of total pelvic floor reconstruction with mesh patch and vaginal hysterectomy with anterior and posterior vaginal wall repair for presby-pelvic floor dysfunction patients.Methods We randomly chose 92 pelvic floor dysfunction inpatients of our hospital from September 2007 to February 2009 and divided them into 2 groups:total pelvic floor reconstruction group(n=70) underwent total pelvic floor reconstruction with mesh patch[12 patients of this group complicated with stress incontinence,4 patients received tension free vaginal tape-obturator(TVT-O) simultaneously];control group(n=22) received vaginal hysterectomy with anterior and posterior vaginal wall repair(3 patients of this group complicated with stress incontinence).A follow-up for 3 to 18 months after the surgery were taken in all the patients.Results In total pelvic floor reconstruction group,no recidivate case was found and the FOP scores and cure rate were 0 and 100% respectively.In control group,there were 7 recidivate cases,all of who were primary vagina anterior wall bulge patients.The cure rate of control group was 68%;For the patients complicated with stress incontinence,they were all cured by TVT-0 or by ascending the front patch in total pelvic floor reconstruction group,but 1 case was as before operation and 2 cases were even worse in control group.Conclusion Total pelvic floor reconstruction with vicarious materials had a definite efficacy for presby-pelvic floor dysfunction.

Objective To detect the changes of gastric emptying function by gastroenteric contrastenhanced ultrasonography and to offer the evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic gastroparesis.Methods The gastric emptying function was measured by gastroenteric contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in 35 cases of diabetic gastroparesis (DGP,DGP group) and 35 volunteers (control group).The gastric emptying rate(GER) and emptying time(ET) after taking orally gastroenteric ultrasound developer in DGP group were observed and compared with control group.Results The GER in DGP group was lower than that in control group [(27.05 ± 11.32)％ vs.(45.38 ± 15.08) ％] (P ＜ 0.05).The ET in DGP group was longer than that in control group[(102.43 ± 15.76) min vs.(75.31 ± 11.52) min] (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The method of gastroenteric contrast-enhanced ultrasonography is a simple,and repeatable imaging method,which can be used to make a real-time assessment on the gastric dynamic changes,but don't influence gastroenteric function and can provide a dependent and noninvasive examine means for clinical physician to test the gastric emptying function in DGP.

Objective By comparing the plasma levels of adiponectin respectively in colorectal carcinoma patients to healthy controls to discuss the relationship between adiponectin and colorectal carcinoma. Methods Plasma samples collected from 38 colorectal cancer cases, 38 healthy controls, respectively, were analyzed with a specific ELISA assay. Results The mean adiponectin levels in colorectal cancer pa-tients and healthy controls were 159.89 and 184.5 pg/mL,respectively. Obviously colorectal cancer patients had significantly lower plasma adiponectin concentrations compared with healthy controls(P=0.001). And a inverse correlation was found between plasma adiponectin levels and tumor size with significantly lower levels of adiponectin in tumors≥5 cm (P=0.04), while no similar relationship was found between adiponectin and p53, Dukes stages(P>0.05). Conclusions Lower plasma levels of adiponectin are associated with color-ectal carcinogenesis closely. And the lower plasma levels of diponectin were positively related to the degree of tumor size. It can presume that adiponectin play a vital role in the process of colorectal carcinogenesis.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow stromal cel s can differentiate into nerve cel s to promote nerve tissue repair, but the exact mechanism has not been ful y elucidated.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the influence of adenovirus-mediatedβnerve growth factor transfection on bone marrow stromal stem cel transplantation fighting against brain injury in rats.
METHODS:(1) Rat bone marrow stromal stem cel s were cultured in vitro, transfected with the adenovirus-mediatedβnerve growth factor and directional y induced usingβ-mercaptoethanol. (2) A total of 210 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into induction+tranfection group, induction+non-transfection group, induction+medium group, model group, and sham group (n=42 per group). Rat skul injury models were made, and given corresponding treatments at different time points (12, 24, 36, 48, 72 hours). Neurological function of rats was evaluated based on neurological severity scores on the day that the rats were given transplantation, and 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks after transplantation. (3) Another 75 Sprague-Dawley rats were also divided into five groups (n=15 per group) as above, fol owed by model establishment and corresponding treatments at 24 hours after modeling. Neurological severity scores were recorded at the same day, 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks after transplantation. Five rats from each group were sacrificed to detect levels of malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase in the rat brain at the same day, 2 and 4 weeks after transplantation, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:If the cel s were transplanted within 48 hours after modeling, the neurological severity scores in the induction+transfection group decreased significantly compared with the induction+non-transfection group and model group at 1 and 2 weeks after transplantation (P<0.05). If the cel s were transplanted at different time, the neurological severity scores in the induction+transfection group were decreased significantly compared with the induction+non-transfection group and model group at 3 and 4 weeks after transplantation (P<0.05). If the cel s were transplanted within 24 hours after modeling, the neurological severity scores in the induction+transfection group decreased significantly compared with the model group at 1 week after transplantation (P<0.05), and the neurological severity scores in the induction+transfection group and induction+non-transfection group both were significantly lower than those in the model group (P<0.05). Two weeks after cel transplantation, the level of superoxide dismutase was significantly higher in the induction+transfection group than the induction+medium group and model group (P<0.05), but the level of malondialdehyde was significantly lower (P<0.05). Al these findings indicate that adenovirus-mediatedβnerve growth factor transfer plays a certain neuroprotective role in bone marrow stromal stem cel transplantation for brain injury in rats.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for promoting the priority use of essential medicines. METHODS:The use amount ratio of essential medicines in 2 third-level grade-A hospitals in Beijing from 2011 to 2013 was statistically investigated. And the literatures related to policies of essential medicines and application were retrieved for in-depth analysis. RESULTS:The use amount ratios of essential medicines in the outpatient and emergency departments in Beijing Hospital of Ministry of Health from 2011 to 2013 were respectively 24.04%,23.10% and 22.76%;and the use amount ratios of essential medicines of inpatients were respectively 16.56%,14.52% and 12.04%. The use amount ratios of essential medicines in the outpatient and emergency depart-ments in Beijing Friendship Hospital(a pilot hospitals of cancelling drug addition medical reform)in the 3 years were respectively 21.59%,19.85% and 22.93%;the use amount ratios of essential medicines of inpatients were respectively 17.70%,17.62% and 15.89%. The use amount ratios of essential medicines did not meet 25%-30% of the requirements. CONCLUSIONS:Cancelling the drug addition and adjusting the types and quantity of essential medicine list had no obvious effects on the use amount ratios of gen-eral third-level grade-A hospitals. It is suggested to promote the priority use of essential medicines by systems of medical insurance total amount prepayment,single disease payment or diagnosis related groups-based prepayment and the free policy of essential medi-cines,rather than administrative order.
