Objective To investigate the role of P21 protein and XIAP on apoptosis-inducing effect by mevastatin against A549 cell line and its mechanisms. Methods The cells proliferation was detected by MTT assay. The cell cycle distribution and apoptosis induction were evaluated with flow cytometer and electron microscopy. The mRNA expression of P21 and XIAP was measured with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.The protein expression of P21 and XIAP was tested with flow cytometer and Western Bolt respectively. Results Mevastatin inhibited A549 cell survival in a time-dependent and concentration-depended manner. Flow cytometry showed that mevastatin induced G0/G1 phase arrest and caused apoptosis. Mevastatin did not affect P21 expression at both mRNA and total protein level.Concomitantly,P21 protein localized on cellular membrane decreased.Both mRNA and protein expression in XIAP were down regulated by mevastatin. All these effects were reversed by mevalonate.Conclusion Mevastatin can inhibite proliferation,induce apoptosis and interfere with cell progression of A549 through mevalonate pathway. Its mechanisms are explained by decreasing the expression of XIAP mRNA and protern.Targeting HMG-CoA reductase,Mevastatin blocks the isoprenylation of P21 protein which affects its anchorage on the cellular membrane.

Objective To understand the current situation of medical postgraduates'!honesty edu-cation, find the weak point and explore new ways of the honesty education. Methods The honesty educa-tion survey questionnaire was designed and conducted to the postgraduates of Grade 2014 in Peking University Health Science Center. The research contents included the basic information of postgraduates, honesty cognition, clean and self-discipline, honesty education, the recommendation of honesty education and the application of honesty education carrier. 1 038 questionnaires of a total of 1 142 questionnaires were recovered and the recovery rate was 90.9%. EPIData3.0 software was used for double entry and database establishment, and SPSS 19.0 software for statistical treatment. Results 82.3% (854) of the postgraduates recognized the work of clean government, but only 62.1% (644) of the postgraduates concerned about it. 78.3% (813) of the postgraduates expressed hatred for the dishonest behavior and hoped to eliminate it. 77.6%(806) postgraduates often paid attention to honest education content which was pushed by the new media. 16.5% (171) postgraduates thought that the new media was very important to the honest cognition. Conclusions We should pay more attention to medical postgraduates'!honesty education, find its weak points according to the investigation and make full use of the network and new media. And at the same time we should combine the actual environment to establish a hierarchy of honesty education system, and carry out honesty education through total environment which contains the school administrators, instructors/head teachers and tutors.

Objective To investigate the role of P21 protein and survivin on the cell apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) induced by mevastatin. Methods The inhibitory effect of mevastatin on A549 and NCI-H520 cell line was evaluated by MTT assay. The cell cycle distribution and apoptosis induction were determined with flow cytometer and transmission electron microscope. The expression of p21 protein was assessed with flow cytometer. The mRNA expression of p21 and survivin was assessed with RT-PCR. Results Flow cytometry showed that mevastatin induced G_0/G_1 cell arrest in NSCLC cell lines. The results indicated that mevastatin caused apoptosis in concentration-dependent manner. Mevastatin produced no change in expression of P21 mRNA and total P21 protein. Concomitantly, P21 protein localized on cellular membrane was decreased. It was also found that mevastatin suppressed the expression of survivin mRNA in NSCLC cell lines. All these effects were reversed by mevalonate. Conclusions Mevastatin inhibited the proliferation of NSCLC cell lines. Mevastatin exerts growth inhibitory effect and induces apoptosis effect by inhibiting mevalonate synthesis. Its mechanisms might involve blockade of the isoprenylation of p21 protein and down-regulation of the expression of survivin mRNA.

Objective To observe the effect of crawling exercise and bilateral electrical stimulation on the upper limb motor after stroke. Methods 60 stroke patients were divided into experimental group (n=30) and control group (n=30). Both groups received routine therapy. The control group received unilateral electrical stimulation on the upper limbs, and the experimental group received electrical stimulation on bilateral upper limbs and crawling exercise. All the patients were assessed with the modified Ashworth scale (MAS), the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and the modified Barthel index (MBI) before and after treatment. Results After 8 weeks of treatment, the scores of MAS, FMA and MBI improved in both groups (P<0.05), and improved more in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The crawling exercise and bilateral electrical stimulation can improve the motor of upper limbs and activities of daily living more effectively than the unilateral electrical stimulation after stroke.

Objective To improve the recognition, diagnosis and treatment of synchronous bilateral thyroid carcinoma(SBTC). Methods The diagnosis and treatment of 11 patients with SBTC were analysed. Results Of them, 9 patients were well differentiated cancer, 1 medullary cancer, 1undifferentiated cancer. The diagnosis was comfirmed by needle aspiration biopsy(NAB) in 2 cases preoperatively, by frozen section in 4 cases intraoperatively. Among the 11 patients, total thyroidectomy was performed on 4 patients, near total thyroidectomy on 7 patients; functional neck dissection(FND) on 7 patients. Ten patients were followed up for 1～2 years (average 4 years and 9 months), only 1 patient died; 9 patients were alive and 8 were free of cancer. Conclusions The diagnosis of SBTC is difficult before operation, so for suspicions patient of SBTC, preoperative NAB or intraoperative frozen section should be done to make the diagnosis. The choice of surgery for SBTC is near total thyroidectomy. FND should be done, if the patient has indication of FND, but a preventing FND is not advocated.

Objective To investigate the infectious complications after nonmyeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (NASCT). Methods Ten patients with leukemia received NASCT from HLA-identical or 1-3 antigen mismatched sibling donors with conditioning regimens of Flu/Cy+BU+ALG. Five patients were acute leukemia (AL) and all of them is in complete remission (CR1). Cyclosporine in combination with methotrexate was administered for GVHD prophylaxis. Results WBC recovered to more than 0.5 ?10 9/L during postoperative 10 day to 38 day and platelet recovered to more than 20?10 9/L during postoperative 8 day to 16 day. Bacterial infections occurred in 3 patients (30 %) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in 2 patients (20 %). Varicella zoster virus (VZV) infections occurred in one patient (10 %). No fungal infections were documented. No patients died as a result of infection . Conclusion NASCT is a safe and effective therapeutic method for leukemia. It reduces acute GVHD,regimen-related toxicity and early neutropenia associated with traditional allo-HSCT.

Objective To understand the awareness rate of pulmonary tuberculosis(TB) prevention and control among residents in Beijing, so as to provide basis for giving publicity on knowledge of pulmonary tuberculosis prevention and control.Methods Residents in Beijing were randomly selected for questionnaire survey, the main content of questionnaire included The 2006 national survey on knowledge, attitudes and practice about tuberculosis prevention and control, the core knowledge of pulmonary TB prevention and control, as well as the related symptoms of suspected tuberculosis were also included.Results A total of 520 questionnaires were collected, 503 of which were qualified, the effective rate was 96.73%.Among respondents, the total awareness rate of five core knowledge about pulmonary TB prevention and control was 40.87%, 78.93% of the respondents knew that pulmonary TB was a chronic respiratory infectious disease which could seriously damage people's health,48.51% knew that the majority of patients with pulmonary TB could be cured as long as they persisted in correct treatment, only 19.68% knew that examination and treatment of pulmonary TB in the county (district) level TB control institutions could enjoyed national free policy.Nearly 53.48% of respondents knew 4 or more suspected pulmonary TB symptoms, only 7.36% of respondents could recognize all eight symptoms of pulmonary TB.Conclusion Residents in Beijing have low awareness of pulmonary TB prevention and control knowledge.If patients in the early stage of pulmonary TB can not identify symptoms, it is not only delay treatment and increase the spread of tuberculosis, but also induce the transmission of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, so produce more challenges to pulmonary TB prevention and control.
