Xuzhou Cancer Hospital explored a development and reform of the hospital in the PPP framework,while adhering to the principles of Public nature as before,staff status as before,and government supervision as before. The reform features proactive attempts in operation and management,personnel management,and remuneration system,in an effort to build an operation system featuring board governance,total cost accounting,and dynamic total salary management in its reform toward building an innovative mixed ownership.

Objective To identify the diseases outcome of inpatients of prefectural hospital in Xinjiang,through analyzing the diseases outcome of inpatients of a prefectural hospital in Xinjiang from 2006 to 2008.Methods To analyze the diseases outcome of inpatients(20 533 cases)randomly selectedin hospital from 2006 to 2008 the date were aralgzed.according to year,gender,ethnicity,disease systems.Results The overall cured rate,improved rate,healed rate,fatality rate of inpatients was 42.10％(8663 cases),51.10％(10 463 cases),6.00％(1242 cases),0.80％(165 cases)respectively.The fatality rate of inpatients of above 60 years old,45 ～59 years old,15 ～44 years old is higher in inpatients of various age groups; The fatality rate of inpatients of tumor,circulatory system diseases,symptoms of menopause with the experimental and clinical body seen to be kind to the suffering of its is higher in inpatients of various systemic diseases,binary multinomial logistic regression shows that the disease outcome is influenced by gender,age,disease systems,hospital annual,four single factors,but not influenced by ethnicity.Conclusion The cured rate adding improved rate is over 90％ of common and frequently-occurring diseases in the prefectural hospital of Xinjiang province.The fatality rate is higher in inpatients who suffered from tumor or circulatory system diseases or symptoms of menopause with the experimental and clinical body seen to be kind to the suffering of its and the fatality rate of all age groups over 15 years old is higher.

BACKGROUND:Adenovirus, expressing within a limited period, can limit the expression time and amount of target genes that is not conducive to ongoing experiments. Here, we select adenovirus as vectors for genetic recombination with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (Trail) gene fragment.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the construction of recombinant lentiviral vector carrying Trail in rats
METHODS:The Trail gene was obtained:according to GenBank in rat Trail gene sequence (NM_145681.1), we designed the gene specific primers of Trail-Age I-F and Trail-AgeI-R, and used AgeI as enzyme cutting site. PCR was applied to amplify Trail gene from rat cDNA Library and construct recombinant plasmids after cutting Trail gene to be cloned into expression vector GV218 by AgeI. Recombinant plasmids were transfected into 293T cells by Lipofeetamine2000 encapsulated recombinant plasmid and auxiliary packaging carrier. The Trail protein of lentiviral plasmids was expressed. Fol owing virus col ection, we identified virus titer and extracted protein from cells to detect Trail expression by western blot assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Screened positive Escherichia coli DH5a competent cells were sequenced with 861 bp, which was consistent with Trail nucleotide sequence in GenBank. After transfection 2 days, virus liquid was col ected and confirmed as recombinant plasmid including Trail gene by PCR and Trail proteins expressed in 293T cells by western blot assay. Hole dilution method and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR determination showed that the virus titer was 2×109 TU/mL. In this study, recombinant lentiviral vector carrying Trail is successful y constructed by homologous recombination in Escherichia coli.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the role of endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in erectile dysfunction (ED) induced by androgen deficiency.

METHODSWe randomly divided 30 eight-week-old healthy male SD rats into six groups: 2-week control (A), 4-week control (B), 2-week castration (C), 4-week castration (D), 2-week castration + androgen replacement (E), and 4-week castration + androgen replacement (F), those in groups E and F subcutaneously injected with testosterone propionate (TP) at the physiological dose of 3 mg/kg per day after castration, while those in the other groups with isodose oil instead. At 2 and 4 weeks after operation, we determined the level of serum testosterone (T) , intracavernous pressure (ICP) , mean carotid arterial pressure (MAP) of the rats, measured the concentration of H2S in the plasma and corpus cavernosum tissue, and detected the expressions of cystathionine-P3-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine-gamma-lyase (CSE) by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.

RESULTSThe serum T level was significantly lower in group C ([0.63 +/- 0.15] nmol/L) than in A ( [ 16.55 +/- 4.17] nmol/L) and E ( [ 18.99 +/- 4.62] nmol/L) (P <0.05), as well as in group D ([0.70 +/-0.22] nmol/L) than in B ([15.44 +/-5.18] nmol/L) and F ([20.99 +/-6.41] nmol/L) (P <0. 05) , and so were ICP/MAP after 5 and 7 V electrical stimulation of the pelvic ganglia (P <0. 05) , H2 S concentration (P <0.05), and the expressions of CBS and CSE (P <0.05). The expressions of CBS and CSE proteins were also significantly decreased in group C as compared with D (P <0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe reduced expressions of CBS and CSE may inhibit the H2 S signaling pathway, which might be one of the mechanisms underlying androgen deficiency-induced ED in rats.

Traditional Chinese medicine Polygoni Multiflori Radix is dried roots of Polygonaceae Polygortum multiflorum Thunb. Its clinical application records were first discovered in literatures of the Tang dynasty. The origins, efficacy, toxicity, processing and taboos of Polygoni Multiflori Radix have been discussed in many ancient herb literatures. In recent years, with the increase in the public awareness in health, Polygoni Multiflori Radix admits preparations have been more widely applied in the treatment and prevention of diseases. However, there have been more and more reports about Polygoni Multiflori Radix induced liver injury, the safety of Polygoni Multiflori Radix has increasingly attracted attention of the society. In this paper, the authors summarized and analyzed the toxicity and medication risk factors of Polygoni Multiflori Radix recorded in ancient herb literatures, and proposed that more attention shall be given to the effect of the planting and processing methods on the components and toxicity of Polygoni Multiflori Radix in safety studies, which provides clues for the further studies.

The renal toxicity and mutagenicity of aristolochic acid (AA) as well as its carcinogenicity on upper urinary tract transitional epithelial cells have been widely known. Since 2003, drug regulatory departments have successively cancelled the quality standards for AA-containing medicines such as Aristolochiae Radix, Aristolochiae Manshuriensis Caulis and Aristolchiae Fangchi Radix, and adopted measures for strengthening regulation and revising package insert or quality standards for other AA-containing medicines, including Aristolochia Cinnabarina Radix, Aristolochiae Fructus, Aristolochiae Mollissimae Herba, in order to control its safety risk. In recent years, domestic and foreign studies on AA have mainly involved action mechanism and clinical performance of AA toxicity, early-stage diagnosis and treatment method. In this paper, authors gave a brief summary and evaluation on risk factors for using AA-containing medicines, and offered measures and suggestions for preventing and controlling AA toxicity.
