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.

8. Risk factors of recurrence of atrial fibrillation in aged patients with chronic diseases after cryoballoon ablation
Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2018;38(9):1092-1098
Objective • To evaluate the recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation (Af) and its related risk factors in aged patients with chronic diseases after cryoballoon ablation. Methods • With the method of convenient sampling, a total of 159 patients with Af after cryoballoon ablation were enrolled in the Department of Cardiology, Ruijin Hospital from Oct. 2016 to Jan. 2018. Self-rating depression scale (SDS) and CHA2DS2-VASc scores [congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75 y (doubled), diabetes mellitus, stroke(doubled)-vascular disease, age 65-74 and sex category(female)] were used to assess the patients. Follow-up checks consisted of chief complaint, postoperative electrocardiogram (ECG), and 24 h Holter monitoring. Logistic regression models were performed to explore the independent risk factors of Af recurrence after cryoballoon ablation. Results • 152 patients (95.6%) completed the follow-up checks, with an average age of (61.9±8.9) years. The average time of follow-up period was (8.35±2.41) months. A total of 41 patients (27.0%) developed Af after cryoballoon ablation. Logistic regression analysis showed the number of chronic disease ≥ 2 (OR=2.466, 95% CI: 1.375-4.452), CHA2DS2-VASc scores ≥ 2 (OR=2.088, 95% CI: 1.142-5.557), irregular use of anti-arrhythmic drugs (OR=1.581, 95% CI: 1.351-2.125), hypertension (OR=1.317, 95% CI: 1.076-2.809), and body mass index (BMI) (OR=1.147, 95% CI: 1.009-1.174) were the independent risk factors of Af recurrence. Conclusion • There is still a certain percentage of recurrence in aged patients with chronic diseases after cryoballoon ablation. 2 and more chronic diseases, irregular use of anti-arrhythmic drugs, hypertension, CHA2DS2-VASc scores ≥ 2, and overweight may be potential risk factors of Af recurrence after cryoballoon ablation.

Objective To evaluate the assistant diagnostic value of low dose CT in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) based on ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) SPECT imaging.Methods One hundred and two patients with clinical suspected PE had been enrolled for this retrospective study.The final diagnosis of PE was made according to the 2008 guidelines of European Society of Cardiology (ESC).All patients underwent V/Q SPECT/CT (Hawkeye 4,GE).The imaging findings from low dose CT lung window were used for differential diagnoses of abnormal regions in SPECT imaging.The diagnostic efficiency of V/Q SPECT alone was compared with that of V/Q SPECT combined with low dose CT scan.Crosstabsx2 test was performed using SPSS 13.0 software.Results Twenty-nine patients (28.43%,29/102) were finally diagnosed as PE.V/Q SPECT alone had a sensitivity of 93.10% (27/29),a specificity of 90.41% (66/73),and an accuracy of 91.18% (93/102).With additional diagnostic information from low dose CT,the diagnostic specificity increased to 95.89% (70/73,X2 =1.72,P > 0.05 ),and the accuracy increased to 95.10% (97/102,x2 =1.23,P > 0.05) though the sensitivity remained the same.Conclusion Imaginginformation from low dose CT in hybrid SPECT/CT may enhance V/Q diagnostic accuracy for PE.

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.
