Objective To evaluate the internal irradiation biological effects of 125I-UdR chitosan nanoparticles in hepatoma cells.Methods The accumulation and distribution of 125I-UdR-CS-DLN in hepatoma cells HepG2 and human liver tissue cells HL-7702 were observed with a confocal microscopy.The internal irradiation biological effects were evaluated by MTT assay,flow cytometry and single cell gel electrophoresis.The apoptosis of in situ rabbit liver tumor treated with 125I-UdR-CS-DLN was assayed by TUNEL staining technique.Results After 30 min of nano-particle treatment,its accumulation in the cytoplasm of HepG2 cells was significantly greater than that in HL-7702 cells.When the concentrations of 125I-UdR-CS-DLN was higher than 37 kBq/ml,the cell viability of HepG2 was significantly lower than that of lL-7702 at 24 and 48 h post-treatment(t =-4.46-6.31,P＜0.05),and the HepG2 cells were arrested at G1 phase and significantly impaired at G2/M phase.In addition,the degrees of DNA doublestrand break of both cell lines irradiated by 125I-UdR-CS-DLN were significantly higher than those treated with 125I-UdR,and the DNA repair capacity of HepG2 cells was significantly lower than that of HL-7702 cells(OTM:t =2.94,P ＜0.05;TDNA％:t =10.64,P ＜0.01).TUNEL staining showed that cell apoptosis could be induced in the rabbit liver carcinoma by 125I-UdR-CS-DLN but not by 125I-UdR.Conclusions The amount of 125I-UdR-CS-DLN absorbed by hepatoma cells is significantly higher than that of 125I-UdR,which suggests that 125 I-UdR-CS-DLN induces more stronger internal radiation biological effects of apoptosis and DNA damage on hepatoma cells.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effects of different surgery methods on early hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(HICH)in basal ganglia region in elderly patients and on prognostic factors analysis.Methods 89 elderly patients with early HICH were randomly divided into four groups according to surgery methods and whether their ICP was monitored.Group A(n=21)was given minimally invasive hematoma drainage,group B(n=23)was given small bone window for removal of hematoma,group C(n=21)and group D(n=24)was given ICP monitoring and corresponding management of ICP on the basis of group A and group B,respectively.The changes of intracranial pressure before and after operation,prognosis and post-operative complications were compared.Results The intracranial pressure was significantly decreased at 3rd day,7th day after operation in group C and D as compared with those in group A and B at the same time points(F=11.76,P<0.05),and the score of GCS was also higher in group C and D at 7th day after operation than in group A,B at the same time points(F=4.72,P<0.05).At 14th and 28th day after operation,the score of GCS was higher in group C than in group A and B(F=19.24,P<0.05),and higher in group C than in group D at 28th day after operation(F=22.26,P<0.05).The dosage of mannitol was significantly lower in group C and group D than in group A and group B(F=18.87,P<0.05).The incidence rate of post-operative complications was 14.3% in group C vs.28.6% in group A(P<0.05)and 20.8% in group D vs.47.8% in group B(χ2=7.04,P<0.05).The proportion of a good recovery and a light disability was significantly higher in group C and D(76.2% and 75.0%)than in group A and B(42.9% and 39.1%)respectively(χ2=14.99,all P<0.05).Conclusions Minimally invasive hematoma drainage shows the advantages of small trauma and a few complications for the treatment of elderly patients with early HICH,and its combination with ICP can early change intracranial pressure and further improves the prognosis.

G mutation were intervened and avoided the occurrence of deafness,1 babies with 235delC homozygote was confirmed severe sensorineural hearing loss in the hearing screening.Conclusion Newborn gene screening make up the defects of missed diagnosis in simple hearing screening in finding the newborn babies with late-onset deafness or the high risk as well as the pathogenic carriers.So the hearing and gene screening were necessary in the current situation,and this screening strategy would be developed further in Henan province.

OBJECTIVETo achieve early diagnosis for inheritable hearing loss and determine carrier rate of deafness causing gene mutations in order to provide information for premarital, prenatal and postnatal genetic counseling.

METHODSA total of 17 000 dried heel blood spots of normal newborns in Chengdu were collected with informed consent obtained from their parents. Genomic DNA was extracted from dried blood spots using Qiagen DNA extraction kits. Microarrays with 9 common mutation loci of 4 deafness-associated genes in Chinese population were used. Nine hot mutations including GJB2 (35delG, 176del16, 235delC and 299delAT), GJB3 (538C> T), SLC26A4 (IVS 7-2A> G, 2168A> G), and mitochondrial DNA 12S rRNA (1555A> G, 1494C> T) were detected by PCR amplification and microarray hybridization. Mutations detected by microarray were verified by Sanger DNA sequencing.

RESULTSOf the 17 000 new-borns, 542 neonates had mutations of the 4 genes. Heterozygous mutations of GJB2, at 235delC, 299delAT, and 176del16 were identified in 254, 55, and 15 newborns, respectively. Two newborns had homozygous mutation of GJB2, 235delC. Heterozygous mutations at 538C> T of GJB3, 2168A> G and IVS 7-2A> G of SLC26A4 were found in 23, 17 and 128 newborns, respectively. For mutation analysis of mitochondrial DNA 12S rRNA, 1494C> T and 1555A> G were homogeneous mutations in 4 and 42 neonates, respectively. In addition, 6 complexity mutations were detected, which demonstrated that one newborn had heterozygous mutations at GJB2 235delC and SLC26A4, IVS7-2A> G, one had heterozygous mutation GJB2 235delC and 12S rRNA homogeneous mutation, 1555 A> G, one heterozygous mutations at GJB2, 299delAT, and GJB3, 538C> T, one at GJB2, 299delAT and 12S rRNA, 1555 A> G, two at GJB2, 299delAT, and SLC26A4, IVS7-2A> G. All mutations as above were confirmed by DNA sequencing.

CONCLUSIONThe total mutation carrier rate of the 4 deafness genes is 3.19% in healthy newborns at Chengdu. Mutations of GJB2 and SLAC26A4 are major ones (86.5% of total). The mutation rate of mitochondrial DNA 12S rRNA is 2.71‰, which may have deafness induced by aminoglycoside antibiotics. Newborn screening for mutation of genes related to hereditary deafness plays an important role in the early detection and proper management for neonatal deafness as well as genetic counseling for premarital, prenatal and postnatal diagnosis.

The scores of individual first aid ability, emergency handling ability, team cooperation ability, organization and coordination ability and communication ability before and after the training were analyzed. At the same time, a questionnaire survey was conducted among students to understand their evaluation and recognition of the training. SPSS 10.0 was used for t test. Results:After the training, the total score of comprehensive first aid ability was increased significantly [(73.55±3.89) vs. (63.53±3.06)], and the scores of emergency handling ability [(10.11±1.43) vs. (8.01±1.16)], team cooperation ability [(11.38±1.21) vs. (8.15±0.99)], organization and coordination ability [(10.68±1.17) vs. (8.15±0.99)] and communication ability [(9.64±1.31) vs. (7.55±1.08)] were also significantly increased ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the scores of individual first aid ability mastery before and after training. In all, 80.46%-96.55% of the students think that the training of comprehensive first aid skills is conducive to the improvement of their comprehensive first aid ability, and all of the students are willing to use this training in the future. Conclusion:Comprehensive first aid skill training is beneficial to improve medical students' comprehensive first aid ability.

OBJECTIVE： To screen potential eEF2K inhibitor molecules， and to provide reference for the design and R&D of eEF2K inhibitor. METHODS： The eEF2K crystal structure model was constructed by homology modeling technique. The model was optimized by Loop optimization and molecular dynamics. With the help of SAVES online server， the above models were evaluated from three aspects such as Verify_3D， EERAT and Laplace diagram. Totally 55 eEF2K inhibitor molecules were collected. Hypogen pharmacophore model with activity prediction ability was constructed based on 28 of them （odd number， as training set） by Insight Ⅱ software and validated by other 27 （even number， as test set）. The optimal pharmacophore model was screened by fitting the predicted and experimental values of activity [i.e. negative logarithm of half inhibitory concentration （pIC50）] and using Ligand profiler thermogram. The virtual screening of small molecules of eEF2K inhibitors was carried out by combining the above pharmacophore model， Lipinski’s five rules and molecular docking method. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS： The overall quality factor score of the crystal structure model of eEF2K protein was 93.697. Among them， 83.33％ of the amino acid Verify_3D score was more than or equal to 0.2， and 1.7％ of the total amino acids were located in the non-permissible region. The amino acid conformation and skeleton structure of the model were reasonable and the reliability of the model was high. Totally 9 Hypogen pharmacophore models （No. 02-10） with active predictive function were constructed， among which No. 03 pharmacophore model included 2 hydrogen bond receptors and 2 conjugated aromatic rings， which could better distinguish active and inactive molecules. The predicted value of pIC50 fitted the experimental value best （the correlation coefficient was 0.665 3）， and it had good predictive ability and high reliability. Finally， 9 potential eEF2K inhibitor molecules were obtained through virtual screening （pIC50 ranged from 1.074 to 1.185， and Dcoking-score of protein-molecule interaction ranged from －9.730 to －7.467）. Pro268， Asp267， Gln171， Phe121 and Glu212 may be the key amino acids for the interaction between eEF2K inhibitors and target proteins， including hydrogen bonds， salt bridges and hydrophobicity. These 9 molecules are expected to be the lead compounds for the development of eEF2K inhibitors.

Based on observing the cytological characteristics of the flower buds of the functional male sterile line (S13) and the fertile line (F142) in eggplant, it was found that the disintegration period of the annular cell clusters in S13 anther was 2 days later than that of F142, and the cells of stomiun tissue and tapetum in F142 disintegrated on the blooming day, while it did not happen in S13. The comparative transcriptomic analysis showed that there were 1 436 differential expression genes (DEGs) (651 up-regulated and 785 down-regulated) in anthers of F142 and S13 at 8, 5 days before flowering and flowering day. The significance analysis of GO enrichment indicated that there were more unigene clusters involved in single cell biological process, metabolism process and cell process, and more catalytic activity and binding function were involved in molecular functions. Through KEGG annotation we found that the common DEGs were mainly enriched in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, metabolic pathway, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, biosynthesis of amino acids, carbon metabolism and plant hormone signal transduction. The fifteen genes co-expression modules were identified from 16 465 selected genes by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), three of which (Plum2, Royalblue and Bisque4 modules) were highly related to S13 during flower development. KEGG enrichment showed that the specific modules could be enriched in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, photosynthesis, porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism, α-linolenic acid metabolism, polysaccharide biosynthesis and metabolism, fatty acid degradation and the mutual transformation of pentose and glucuronic acid. These genes might play important roles during flower development of S13. It provided a reference for further study on the mechanism of anther dehiscence in eggplant.
