This paper introduced the feasibility of flexible management from medical scientific re-search institutions, embarks on the aspects of construction contents such as value identity system, fuzzy eval-uation system, sharing mechanism of scientific management aims and information involving in implementing management. And the paper combined with the experience of the innovation projects in Chinese Academy of Sciences and our institution, and preliminarily expounds the construction connotations and keys of the "flexi-ble management system" in medical scientific research units to provide ideas for enriching the management thoughts of medical scientific research.

Objective To clone the full-length CDS sequence of LOC 401296 , an undefined gene that we found recently, and to obtain both its expression in eukaryotic cells or E.coli and antiserum to LOC401296 protein.Methods The full-length CDS sequence of LOC401296 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Then we established the expression vectors pET28B-LOC401296 and pCMV-Myc-LOC401296 by cloning the full-length CDS sequence into vector PET28B and vector pCMV-Myc respectively.Isopropyl Thiogalactoside (IPTG) was used to induce LOC401296 expression in E.coli.Furthermore,the protein purified and refolded was used to immunize BALB /c mice.The titer of the antiserum collected from immunized mice was identified by ELISA assay and Western blot .Results We cloned the full-length CDS sequence of LOC401296 was successfully .Protein LOC401296 was expressed as was expected and the mouse anti-human LOC401296 antiserum was obtained .The antiserum titer reaching 1∶64 000 was identified by ELISA .Besides, Western blot analysis showed that the antiserum could be used to detect protein LOC 401296 .Conclusion The full-length sequence of LOC401296 is obtained and the mouse anti-human LOC401296 antiserum becomes available .This study can contribut to further research on the undefined gene LOC 401296 .

Background and purpose:BCRP was recently discoveried as a membrane transport protein affiliated with multiple drug resistance(MDR).The aim of present study was to investigate the expression of breast cancer resistance protein(BCRP) in primary breast carcinoma and its potential significance of guiding breast carcinoma chemotherapy and to determine whether such expression can be used as a predict factor for chemosensitivity.Methods:Expression of BCRP in 31 primary breast carcinoma tissues was determined by flow cytometry.The relationship between the expression of BCRP with the clinicpathological characteristics and the prognosis of breast carcinoma patients was also analyzed.Results:The expression level of BCRP was higher in breast carcinoma tissue(0.282581?0.183686) than control group(0.03125?1.000905).There was no statistical difference befween BCRP and state of ER,PR,C-erbB_2 and EGFR in breast carcinoma tissues.In addition,it was the same situation no matter whether axillary lymph node was metastatasied or not.Conclusions:The results suggest that BCRP is expressed in primary breast carcinoma and is a cell membrane protein independent on ER,PR,c-erb-B-2,EGFR.Based chemotherapy is more effective for the patients with the overexpression of BCRP in primary breast carcinoma tissue.

Objective To explore the levels of serum alkaline phosphatase ( ALP) as well as its impact on the cognitive impairment in patients with subcortical ischemic vascular disease ( SIVD).Methods One hundred and fifty-eight SIVD patients were divided into two subgroups which included 86 patients with mild cognitive impairment ( SVMCI ) and 72 patients with vascular dementia ( SVaD ) according to the severity of cognitive impairment.Sixty-seven old people with normal cognitive function were selected as control qruop.Multiple lacunar infarction ( LI) or leukoaraiosis ( LA) was detected according to their MRI scan appearances and graded LA according to the severity.Serum ALP was measured by an enzymatic method as well as the Mini-Mental State Examination ( MMSE) and the Cambridge Cognitive Examination-Chinese Version (CAMCOG-C) were used in assessments.Serum ALP was divided into 3 groups and the occurrence rate of LI , LA and cognitive impairment were compared with each other.The levels of ALP were compared in different cognitive impairment and Logistic regression was used to explore the relation between ALP and cognitive impairment.Results Both SVaD and SVMCI groups (17.00 (13.00, 20.00), 59.50 (49.00, 68.75);25.00 (25.00, 26.00), 82.50 (76.75, 89.00)) showed significantly lower scores in MMSE and CAMCOG-C than control group (28.00 (28.00, 29.00), 93.00 (89.00, 96.00); Z=187.337, P=0.000; Z=150.480, P=0.000).A positive relationship between the elevated ALP level and the severity of cognitive impairment was found after adjusting for sex , age and other confunding factors ((68.60 ±15.52), (78.76 ±13.39), (86.75 ±18.85) U/L, F=22.587, P=0.000).The occurrence rate of LI, LA and SVaD among the three groups were significantly different (χ2 =8.008, P=0.018;χ2 =17.998, P=0.000;χ2 =12.255, P=0.002).The ALP level was negatively correlated with MMSE and CAMCOG-C scores ( r=-0.350, P=0.000; r=-0.286, P=0.000 ).Logistic regression analysis revealed the relation between ALP and cognitive impairment was positive when we controlled all the vascular risk factors.However , the relation had gone when futher adjusting for the grade of LA.Conclusions The level of ALP is significantly higher in SIVD patients and positively relates with cognitive impairment especially in those whose grade of LA is severe.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical and pathological features of patients with concurrent gastric adenocarcinoma and primary gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma.

METHODSA 77-year-old man referred to Beijing Cancer Hospital for the evaluation of two primary cancers of stomach revealed by gastroscope was reported. The English literature was retrieved and analyzed.

RESULTSTotal gastrectomy was performed. Histological examination confirmed that the gastric body lesion was consistent with advanced poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, while the lesion at the fundus with low grade MALT lymphoma. A systematic review of literature in English was performed, and 40 similar patients from 12 studies were found. There were 25 males(61.0%). More patients with adenocarcinoma were at early stage (65.9%) and the majority of lymphoma was low grade (82.9%). Furthermore, most of the patients experienced Helicobacter pylori infection (72.5%). As for therapeutic strategy, most of the patients underwent subtotal or total gastrectomy.

CONCLUSIONSConcurrent gastric adenocarcinoma with MALT lymphoma is rare. The characteristics of these tumors are still unclear. The majority of gastric adenocarcinoma is at early stage, and most of the patients have Helicobacter pylori infection. The treatment is mainly based on gastric adenocarcinoma.
