The vitamin B 12 Productivity of 14 marine bacterial strains isolated from the China Sea was determined microbiologically using Escherichia coli 113 3. Tests were made on the culturing media and culture conditions for Vitamin B 12 production. The results showed that the culturing medium in which the extract from soybean cake with seawater and some nutriments were added was suitable to recognize further some marine Vitamin B 12 producing bacterial strains. The medium with appropriate cobalt chloride and some salts added may be useful for Vitamin B 12 biosynthesis. The PH value of the fermentation for the testing strains was raised with the lapse of time for fermentation. A better Vitamin B 12 production may be obtained by keeping the fermentation liquid slightly basic till about 96h. No.2627 strain in all the strains tested showed well in the productivity. The mixed cultivation of some strains (including No.2627 strain) tested often has potentiality and superiority for Vitamin B 12 production.

Logistic regression analysis presented that age (OR=1.07, 95% CI 0.02-0.09,P<0.01), diabetes (OR=4.48, 95% CI 0.75-2.24,P<0.01) and MB at middle segment of LDA (OR=4.98, 95% CI 0.81-2.41, P<0.01) were related to atherosclerotic stenosis at proximal to a segment with MB; age (OR=1.08, 95% CI 0.04-0.12,P<0.01) and diabetes (OR=3.49, 95% CI 0.30-2.19,P=0.01) were related to the atherosclerosis at LAD middle segment; the MB at LAD middle segment was not related to atherosclerosis of middle and distal LAD segments,P>0.05. Conclusion: MB at middle segment of LDA was with the higher occurrence rate of atherosclerotic stenosis at proximal to a segment with MB in elderly patients, which could be used as an independence risk factor for clinical diagnosis.

Objective To study the iso-center point coincidence of two accelerators with treatment planning system (TPS) based on γ passing rates of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plan verification.Methods Twenty-one IMRT plans were verified by Varian accelerator and twenty by Elekta accelerator with a gamma criterion of 3 mm/3％.The passing rates were measured when the iso-center point of TPS had-2,-1,0,1,and 2 mm shift in the x or y direction.A binomial curve of γwas fit to figure out the values of the two accelerators on the x and y axes when γ value reached the maximum.The γ pass rate difference was analysed by x2 test.Results The mean values of γ-2,γ-1,γ0,γ1,and γ2 in the x direction were (92.56±3.27) ％,(96.53± 1.82) ％,(96.13± 1.41) ％,(90.14± 2.87) ％,and (82.28± 4.69) ％ for Varian accelerator,and (94.82± 2.04) ％,(97.05± 2.02) ％,(98.38± 1.33) ％,(97.96± 1.44) ％,and (94.49±2.34)％ for Elekta accelerator.There was no significant difference in the mean value of γ0between the two accelerators (P=0.332).When γvalue reached the maximum,the values on the x and y axes were0.65 and-0.30 mm for Varian accelerator and 0.01 and 0.30 mm for Elekta accelerator,respectively.Conclusions In the same TPS,different accelerators have different degrees of coincidence of the actual field center point with the iso-center point of TPS,to which more attention should be paid in clinical practice.

Objective To analyze the etiology of cerebral ischemic complications occurring in perioperative period of interventional therapy for intracranial aneurysms,and to discuss its prevention and treatment.Methods From January 2011 to March 2015,a total of 1106 patients with intracranial aneurysms underwent interventional therapy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,China.Among the 1106 patients,48 patients developed cerebral ischemic complications;their clinical data and the imaging materials were retrospectively analyzed.The factors associated with complications,the effective therapeutic scheme and the clinical preventive methods were discussed.Three months after the treatment,the recovery of neurological function was assessed with modified Rankin Scale (mRS).Results The causes of ischemic complications were,in order of decreasing frequency,cerebral vasospasm/unable elimination of microemboli (n=19),thrombus (n=16),impaired blood flow of adjacent perforating or distal vascular branches caused by embolization (n=6),intra-procedural hypotension (n=4) and cerebral edema (n=3).Combined treatments,including integrated anticoagulation,anti-platelet aggregation,anti-vasospasm,medication of elevating blood pressure,endovascular intervention,etc.were adopted.The patients were followed up for 3 months.Thirty-four patients (70.8％) obtained a mRS of ≤2 (no serious sequelae),and mRS＞2 (poor prognosis) was seen in 14 patients (29.2％).Conclusion The etiology of cerebral ischemia occurring during interventional treatment of intracranial aneurysms is complicated.It is necessary to take useful measures such as individualized anticoagulation,anti-platelet aggregation,anti-vasospasm,etc.during perioperative period of interventional therapy.The procedure-related complications can be effectively treated with interventional therapy and reliably prevented by careful and skilled surgical manipulation.

In order to choose a fast and efficient real-time method in beta wave information extraction, we compared the result and the efficiency of the information separation of both fast Fourier transform (FFT) and wavelet transform of EEG beta band in the present paper. Our work provides the basis for the EEG data come from the real-time health assessment of 3DTV. We took the EEGs of 5 healthy volunteers before, after and during the process of watching 3DTV and meanwhile recorded the results. The trends of the relative energy and the time cost of two methods were compared by using both the FFT and wavelet packet transform (WPT) which was to extract the feature of EEG beta wave. It demonstrated that (1) Results of the two methods were consistent in the trends of watching 3DTV; (2) Results of the differences in two methods were consistent before and after watching 3DTV; (3) FFT took less time than the wavelet transform in the same case. It is concluded that the results of both FFT and Wavelet transform are consistent in feature extraction of EEG, and a fast method to work with the large quantities of EEG data obtained in the experiments can be offered in the future.

Objective To investigate transcriptional expression and promoter CpG methylation status of A-kinase anchoring protein 12 (AKAP12) gene and analyze their correlation with clinical pathological stage in bladder transitional cell carcinoma. Methods AKAP12 mRNA expression level and promoter CpG metbylation status was measured by fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR (FQ-RT-PCR) and methylation specific PCR (MSP) in 30 bladder transitional cell carcinoma and adjacent normal tissues. The products of PCR were cloned and bisulfite sequenced. Results Decreased AKAP12 mRNA expression was demonstrated in 22 carcinomas (73. 3% ) and was significantly associated with turnout grade (P =0. 02).The frequency of promoter methylation of AKAP12 gene was 53. 3 % (16/30) and correlated with the tumor stage(r =0.52,Pn =0.03)and grade(r =0.61,Pn =0.01). Conclusion Aberrant promoter methylation of AKAP12 can result in the loss of gene expression and may association with bladder transitional cell carcinoma.

BACKGROUNDRecent researches discovered that artemisinin and its derivatives had anti-tumor activity. Dihydroartemisinin is one of the derivatives with higher activity. This study is to explore the effect of dihydroartemisinin on the proliferation of human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549, so as to provide experimental base for treatment of lung cancer.

METHODSInhibition of proliferation in vitro was measured by MTT assay. The cell growth curve was drawn according to cell counts. The population doubling time was counted in logarithmic growth phase, DNA contents were measured by flow cytometry. Cell cycles were observed at the same time after the treatment. And the nude mice bearing A549 cancer cells were applied to detect the effect of dihydroartemisinin in vivo.

RESULTSDihydroartemisinin inhibited A549 cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner, after 96h of treatment, the IC50 for dihydroartemisinin inhibition of cell number was 0.23μmol/l. The population doubling time for human lung adenocarcinma in the control group was 21.3h and that in the dihydroartemisinin group was 38.5h . An highly significant difference was observed between the two groups (P < 0.01). Cells in G0 plus G1 were increased after the dihydroartemisinin treatment. The tumor inhibiting rate of dihydroartemisinin was 54.3% in vivo.

CONCLUSIONSDihydroartemisinin has marked anticancer activity on human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 both in vitro and in vivo. The inhibition in vitro is related to blockade of G0 and G1 phases.
