Cell-cycle deregulation leading to excessive cellproliferation is an important mechanism of human tumorigenesis. CDK6 and CDK4 have been found to be significant regulators of cellcycle, particularly in promoting cell -cycle progress. Moreover, these proteins are usually overly active in most tumors and closely related to tumor development. Recently, research has confirmed CDK4/6 as prospective targets for cancer therapy. However, the mechanism of excessive CDK6 activation leading to tumorigenesis is not completely understood. Therefore, further understanding of the role of CDK4/6 in cell -cycle regulatory pathways and celldifferenti-ation is essential, as well as their overexpression in different types of tumors. This information will elucidate the mechanisms of tumor development and treatment. Therefore, this review intends to discuss the structure and biological function of CDK6, the role and mecha-nism of CDK6 in carcinogenesis, and the clinical application of CDK6 inhibitors.

Objective: To study the relationship between mental health and achievement motivation of teachers.Methods: 322 high school teachers completed SCL-90 and Achievement Motivation Scale.Results: The percent of high-score teachers with at least one SCL-90 subscale scored more than 3 is more than 5%.There is obvious correlation between the score of SCL-90 and the AMS's.Conclusion: The high level of achievement-seeking or the high level of failure-avoiding is harmful to the mental health of teachers.

Objective To explore the mechnism of toxicity induced by cisplatin on renal proximal tubular cells(RPTC) line and anti-apoptosis mechanism of BCL-2 with transfection of different mutant BCL-2 in vitro.MethodsRPTC was translocated with different mutants BCL-2(s).Cell apoptosis induced by cisplatin on RPTC was analyzed with confocal and flurencent microscope.The cell apoptosis was measured with Hoechst33258 after treatment with cisplatin.Results Different mutant BCL-2(BCL-acta,BCL-cb5)were translocated on mitochondrial and Endoplasmic Reticulum(ER) respectively.BCL-acta protected RPTC from apoptosis induced by cisplatin more easily than BCL-cb5 group in a time-dependant manner(P

In order to established a method for simultaneous determination of isoquercitrin, astragaline, quercetin and kaempferol in Lysimachia clethroides, the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([HMIM]PF6) methanol was used as the ultrasound-assisted extraction solvent combing with RP-HPLC. A Purospher star RP-C1 column was used with the mobile phase of aceto- nitrile, methanol and 0. 4% phosphate acid by gradient elution at the detection wavelength of 360 nm. The flow rate was 0.7 mL x min(-1), and the column temperature was the room temperature. Under the optimized conditions, the linear ranges were 2.54 x 10(-2)-2. 54, 2.50 x 10(-2)- 2.50, 1.54 x 10(-3)-0.154, 1.49 x 10(-3)-0.149 microg for isoquercitrin, astragaline, quercetin and kaempferol, respectively. The average recoveries of the four constituents were 101.1%, 98.90%, 101.0%, 101.6%, respectively. The method was green, simple, rapid and accurate, and provided a valid method for analysis of isoquercitrin, astragaline, quercetin and kaempferol in L. clethroides.

Objective To explore the diagnostic values of dual energy lung perfusion in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism by using dual-source CT (DSCT). Methods Thirty patients with clinically suspected pulmonary embolism underwent dual-energy scanning with dual-source CT. The scanned data were integrated into three groups including 140, 80 kV and coefficient of 0.3. According to the CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) of the fusion data, the patients were divided into pulmonary embolism group and normal group. The thin-slice reconstruction of data was analyzed using dual-energy perfusion imaging analysis software. The lung field was divided into upper, middle and lower part to make quantitative analysis of lung tissue perfusion. Paired t-tests were used in the normal patients to compare bilateral lungs, and independent samples t-tests were applied to compare the embolism group and normal group, while minimum intensity projection images (MinIP) were utilized in the assessment of lung ventilation. Results Dual energy CT showed symmetrical homogeneous perfusion in 16 normal cases, without significant perfusion defects. Quantitative analysis showed that left and right lung perfusion were (27 ± 7) and (28 ± 8 ) HU respectively, and no significant difference was found between the two sides ( t=-1.73, P >0.05 ).Perfusion of the left upper, middle and lower lung was ( 23 ± 6), (24 ± 6), and (28 ± 8) HU respectively, while the perfusion of right upper, middle and lower lung was (26 ±8), (27 ±8), and (28 ±9) HU respectively, showing no statistical significant difference between the two sides (t=-1.91, -1.96,-1.73 ,P>0.05 ). Angiography of pulmonary embolism group(14 cases)showed filling defects in the pulmonary trunk, segments and sub-segments. Pulmonary perfusion imaging showed low perfusion or defectsin lung field that dominated by embolic vessels. Quantitative analysis showed that the perfusion of the whole lung and the middle and lower lung were (22 ±5), (22 ±8), and (21 ±8) HU in the embolism group,which were significantly different from the normal group (t=-2. 10, -2.32, -2.63, P<0.05).Minimum intensity projection images showed a good consistency of abnormal ventilation zone area and perfusion abnormalities. Conclusions Pulmonary perfusion status, especially pulmonary embolism, can be analyzed by dual energy CT scanning. It helps to early discover and precisely locate the embolism.

This study aimed to elucidate the effects of different soil water contents on the yield and quality of R.glutinosa.Different soil water contents were adjusted in different periods of growth of R.glutinosa.The yield,content of water extract,catalpol,verbascoside and polysaccharide were determined and analysed by the grey pattern recognition after harvests.The impacts of soil water content from the most important to the least important were medium moisture content (M2),high moisture content (M3),low moisture content (M1) and blank (M4).In the cultivation of R.glutinosa,the soil water content should be remained in the range of 40%-50% at seedling stage,while 50%-60% at the stage of root formation and tuber enlargement,and 20%-30% during harvesting,which can significantly improve the yield and quality of R.glutinosa.
