Objective A cross-sectional survey was conducted to investigate difference in job-related satisfaction indexes among staff working at community health-care service centers ( CHSC ) employing appropriate techniques on a trial basis between east and west areas of China. Methods In total, 339 staff members working at CHSC employing appropriate techniques on a trial basis, including good practice of community medical records management for hypertension , good practice of community case management for type 2 diabetes , good practice of community case management for tuberculosis , etc. , were recruited for questionnaire survey from Tianjin, Jinan and Shenzhen of east China and Chengdu and Chongqing in westChina by cluster sampling. Their demographic information, training for appropriate techniques and job-related satisfaction were collected. Results There was a significant difference in proportion of CHSC staff who receiving training for tuberculosis management launched by local government between west and east areas (34. 8% vs. 41. 4% , P <0. 05). There also was significant difference in satisfaction with the support from the superior sectors of government between west and east areas ( 59. 6% vs. 52. 0% , P = 0. 022 ) . Satisfaction towards income ranked the highest, and that towards work environment the lowest among the staff either in west or east areas. Conclusions Proportion of CHSC staff receiving training for tuberculosis and satisfaction with the support from superior sectors of government vary with communities in east and west areas employing appropriate techniques on a trial basis, and work condition of CHSC should be improved further.

Objective To investigate the effects of a new c-Met inhibitor SU11274 on apoptosis and motility of c-Met-positive basal-like breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. Methods The concentrations of SUl1274 were set to 0,0.1,1,10 and 20 μmol/L.Morphological change of apoptotic cells was analyzed by Hoechst33342,MitroTrackerRed and Yo-pro-1 staining.The apoptotic rate of MDA-MB-231 cells were determined by Annexin V/PI double-staining. The expression of apoptosis related proteins (Bcl-XL,Caspase-3 and PARP) and phosphorylation levels of c-Met and Akt were analyzed by Western blot.The capability of motility were measured by wound-healing assay and chemotaxis assay. Results After treatment by SU11274( 10 μmol/L) for 48 h,shrinking apoptotic cells of MDA-MB-231 was observed by flurescent microscope and nuclear fragmentation was seen.Annexin V/PI double-staining showed SU11274induced apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells (P < 0.05 ),and the apoptotic rates were (7.3 ± 0.9) %,( 14.1 ±0.6) %,(35.5 ± 4.4) % and (48.2 ± 5.3 ) %,respectively.SU11274 downregulated the expression of Bcl-XL and promoted the dissection of Caspase-3 and PARP in a dose dependent relationship.SU11274 prolongs the wound-healing time,decreases the migration cell count (P < 0.05 ) and effectively inhibits the phosphorylation of c-Met and its downstream key proteins Akt in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusions C-Met inhibitor SU11274 induces apoptosis and inhibits the motility of c-Met-positive basallike breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231,probably through inhibiting phosphorylation of c-Met/PI3K/Akt.

Objective: To analysis the relationship between glucocorticosteroids (GCS) usage and side effects in the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Methods: All clinical records of probable SARS patients in Beijing were collected and input into an Epi6 database, in which 1 291 patients had entire information and met the clinical criteria of SARS. The usage of GCS and GCS associated side effects were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Patients accepted GCS therapy were 83.96% (n= 1 084), whereas 16.04%(n=207) did not take GCS. The average dosage of GCS was 160 mg/d in the first week, and then reduced to 80 mg/d and 40 mg/d in the second and the third weeks, respectively. Initial blood glucose, systolic pressure (SBP), and diastolic pressure (DBP) were no significant difference between GCS group and non-GCS group. The highest blood glucose during the treatment in GCS group was markedly higher than that in non-GCS group [(8.68? 4.80 ) mmol/L vs (6.39?3.71) mmol/L, P05). After GCS administration, SBP and DBP were increased gradually, and reached their peaks in the fourth week [SBP (117.2?14.0) mm Hg and DBP (72.5?9.1) mm Hg vs SBP (120.0?12.5) mm Hg and DBP (74.5?8.7) mm Hg, P

Autophagy is a dynamic process that degrades intracellular proteins and damaged organelles, and maintains environmental stability within the cell and provides good conditions for cell survival. Hyperoxic acute lung injury (HALI) is one of the serious complications of clinical oxygen therapy. The pathogenesis of HALI is still unclear. There are studies having shown that autophagy is involved in the pathogenesis of HALI. There are many pathway mechanisms that regulate autophagy, including phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) signaling pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signaling-regulated protein kinase (MAPK/ERK) signaling pathway, adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase/unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1 (AMPK/ULK1) signaling pathway, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and forkhead box O1 (FoxO1) and Ras guanosine triphosphatease superfamily member Rab11a, each of which is referred to as microRNA-21-5p (miR-21-5p) target gene having a role in regulating autophagy activity in many diseases. In this paper, the above-mentioned signaling pathways of miRNA-21-5p target genes regulating autophagy were reviewed in order to find clues about the mechanism of miRNA-21-5p regulating autophagy in HALI and provide a theoretical basis for subsequent basic research.

Objective:To compare the clinical effect of Ilizarov frame and unilateral frame in the treatment of tibial segmental bone defect combined with soft tissue defect by open bone transport.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 32 patients with tibial segmental bone defect and soft tissue defect-up who underwent open bone transport technique in Tianjin Hospital from August 2008 to August 2016 and obtained complete followed-up. There were 22 males and 10 females, aged 22-64 years (mean, 36.8 years). Nineteen patients in the Ilizarov group showed the mean bone defect length of 7.9 cm and mean soft tissue defect area of 41.4 cm 2. Thirteen patients in the unilateral group showed the mean bone defect length of 7.8 cm and the mean soft tissue defect area of 39.2 cm 2. The results of fracture healing, wound healing time, radiological consolidation index, external fixation index, Association for the Study and Application of the Method of Ilizarov (ASAMI) bone and lower-limb function score and incidence of complications were compared between the groups. Results:All patients were followed up for 24 to 60 months [(32.6±1.3)months]. Bone healing was achieved in all patients. The wound healing time was (2.7±2.3)days in Ilizarov group and (2.4±1.8)days in unilateral group ( P>0.05). The consolidation index was (43.4±8.7)d/cm in Ilizarov group and (45.8±10.3)d/cm in unilateral group ( P>0.05). The external fixation index was (52.6±8.9)d/cm in Ilizarov group and (58.7±12.9)d/cm in unilateral group ( P<0.05). The results of ASAMI bone score was excellent in 10 patients, good in 6, fair in 2 and poor in 1 in Ilizarov group, with the excellent rate of 84%; and excellent in 6 patients, good in 4, fair in 2, and poor in 1 in unilateral group, with the excellent rate of 77%, with insignificant difference between two groups ( P>0.05). The results of ASAMI lower-limb function score was excellent in 8 patients, good in 7, fair in 3, poor in 1 in Ilizarov group, with the excellent rate of 79%; and excellent in 6, good in 3, fair in 3, poor in 1 in unilateral group, with the excellent rate of 69%, with insignificant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Incidence of axial deviation was zero in Ilizarov group versus 23% in unilateral group ( P<0.05). After operation, Ilizarov group had refracture in 1 patient and pin site infection in 5, and unilateral group had refracture in 1 patient and pin site infection in 1, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Tibial segmental bone defect with soft tissue defect can be effectively treated by open bone transport with Ilizarov and unilateral frame. Ilizarov frame has better biomechanical properties and is more convenient for correction of poor postoperative axial alignment.

Objective:To investigate the accuracy and postoperative efficacy of fluoroscopy and CT in measuring the mounting parameters of Taylor Spatial Frame.Methods:Data of patients with peripheral knee deformities who were treated by Taylor Spatial Frame from June 2006 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to different measurement methods of mounting parameters, they were divided into fluoroscopy group (mounting parameters were obtained by intraoperative fluoroscopy) and CT group (mounting parameters were obtained by postoperative CT). There were 33 patients (35 segments) in the fluoroscopy group, 23 males (23 segments) and 10 females (12 segments), with an average age of 36.4±11.6 years old. In CT group, there were 30 patients, 19 males and 11 females, with an average age of 36.9±13.8 years. There were 22 cases (24 segments) of high tibial osteotomy, 5 cases (5 segments) of distal femur osteotomy, and 6 cases (6 segments) of both distal femur and high tibial osteotomy. Operation time, external fixation time, the number of electronic prescription and deformity correction time, mechanical axis deviation (MAD), medial proximal tibia angle (MPTA), mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), range of motion (ROM) andhospital for special surgery (HSS) knee functional scores were compared between the two groups.Results:All the 63 patients were followed up for 21.9 months (range, 12-60 months). In fluoroscopy group, operating time was 100.9±9.1 min, electronic prescription number 1.4±0.6, and deformity correction time was 19.4±3.6 days. In CT group, operating time was 79.2±10.8 min, electronic prescription number 1.2±0.4, and deformity correction time was 16.0±4.4 days. The difference of the above indexes between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=8.803, 2.042, 3.440, all P < 0.05). In the fluoroscopy group, the external fixation time was 4.8±0.9 months; MAD was 4.3±2.1 mm; MPTA was 88.5°±1.9°; mLDFA was knee 89.2°; ROM was 122.4°±3.9° and HSS score was 90.0±3.6. In CT group, the external fixation time was 4.6±0.9 months; MAD was 4.0±1.9 mm; MPTA was 87.8°±1.7°; mLDFA was knee 88.6°; ROM was 122.7°±3.4° and HSS score was 91.1±2.9. There was no statistically significant difference in the above indexes between the two groups (all P >0.05). In the fluoroscopy group, 22 segmental deformities were corrected by one electronic prescription, and 13 segmental deformities were corrected by two or more electronic prescriptions. In CT group, 25 segmental deformities were corrected by one electronic prescription, and 5 segmental deformities were corrected by two electronic prescriptions. There was no incision infection and no neurovascular injury in the two groups. Conclusion:Both fluoroscopy and CT scan can obtain the mounting parameters of the Taylor Spatial Frame, and the results of correction of the peripheral deformities of the knee joint are satisfactory. However, CT measurement of the mounting parameters is more accurate which could achieve shorter operation time, and less times of electronic prescriptions.
