Chemotherapy is one of the primary treatments for cancer patients,while tumor multidrug re-sistance( MDR) represents a major obstacle in the treatments of patients,limiting the efficacy of chemotherapy.To date,the mechanism of drug resistance has not been fully elucidated.lncRNAs are a family of long noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression by epigenetic modification,transcription and post transcriptional processing. Recent studies have showed that the aberrant regulation of target genes by lncRNAs may be involved in the acqui-sition of tumor MDR.Therefore,targeting lncRNAs may be an attractive strategy for improving the chemosentivity and reversing chemotherapeutic resistance.This paper reviews the relationship between lncRNAs and tumor drug resistance as well as the underlying possible mechanism.

OBJECTIVE To study the changes in trace elements Zn and Cr and cell immunologic function among elderly inpatients with lower respiratory tract infection.METHODS The changes in T-lymphocyte subpopulation and trace elements Zn and Cr in plasma and red blood cell of 52 inpatients with lower respiratory tract infection were compared with a control group of 53 healthy people of the same age group.The flame atom absorbing was for blood Zn testing,the non-flame atom absorbging for blood Cr testing the indirect immunofluorescent technique was for measurement of T cell subpopulation.RESULTS Among elderly inpatients with lower respiratory tract infection the ratio of Zn [(12.68?3.26)?mol/L] and Cr [(0.033?0.029)?mol/L] in plasma and Zn [(124.12?36.55)?mol/L] and Cr [(0.412?0.025)?mol/L] in RBC was significantly lower than control group [(17.39?4.78)?mol/L] and [(0.068?0.036)?mol/L],[(145.33?20.12)?mol/L] and [(0.666?0.038)?mol/L],respectively,the function of T-lympholyte subpopulation was reduced and in disorder,CD3 [(50.48?7.62)%],CD4 [(27.36?9.37)%] and CD4/CD8(0.67?0.23) was significantly lower than control group [(64.33?4.82)%,(42.35?8.12)% and(1.57?0.22)%],respectively,while CD8 [(35.37?7.55)%] was significantly higher than control group [(28.13?1.35)%],the statistical differences were significant(P

Objective To compare the difference of clinical characteristics between patients with pituitary corticotroph macroadenoma and microadenoma. Methods From 1985 to 1998, 76 inpatients with Cushing′s disease, 12 cases of macroadenoma and 64 cases of microadenoma were reviewed. The clinical manifestations, the course before diagnosis, blood routine, biochemical and endocrinic examinations were retrospectively analyzed. Results Defect of vision field and galactorrhea were more frequent and the duration of disease before diagnosis were shorter in macroadenomas than those in microadenomas. Lymphopenia, hypokalaemia, lower creatine kinase level and hyperphosphoroemia were also more pronounced in macroadenomas. In macroadenomas, the plasma ACTH and cortisol (F) concentrations at 0:00 were obviously higher than those in microadenomas, but plasma ACTH and F at 8:00 and 24h urinary free cortisol were similar in these two groups. The relative nyctohemeral variation of ACTH was less in macroadenomas than that in microadenomas, the relative nyctohemeral variation of F was similar in these two groups. One month after operation, clinicl manifestations of macroadenomas significantly improved, but the number of these patients with significant blood ACTH decrease was significantly less than that in microadenomas. Conclusion Due to higher amount and automatism of ACTH secretion, increased blood F level induces variation of clinical characteristics and laboratorial findings in patients with macroadenoma compared to the patients with microadenoma.

In this paper,the authors analyzed in detail one case of troubleshooting of SOMATOM DRH and summarized our experience in its maintainence.

Objective To investigate professional identity and its influencing factors in nursing students during late period of clinical practice,which may be helpful for carrying out clinical nursing teaching.Methods General information and professional identity questionnaires were used for investigation in 233 nursing students of late period of intership.Results Sense of professional identity was in the general level (86.00±8.08) points.Employment situation was the main concern for students to choose nursing profession.The professional identity score of professional knowledge and skills were 15.90 and 20.88 respectively in undergraduate students,which were lower than those of college students and secondary specialized school students.Conclusions Nursing educators should pay attention to the guidance and training of professional identity in nursing students,which may contribute to the development of the nursing profession.

The difficult knowledge was analyzed in detail from such aspects as medical students' cognitive ability of the female pelvic anatomy structure,their learning of female reproductive endocrine physiology,their understanding of delivery mechanism and gynecological tumor clinical staging in gynecology and obstetrics.Through such strategies as the diversification of teaching to deepen students' cognition of female pelvic anatomy structure,presentation method to strength their understanding of the delivery mechanism and repeated memory to reinforce their learning of female reproductive endocrine physiology and smart memory to remember gynecologic oncology clinical staging,not only the students' learning ability was improved,but also the teaching quality was enhanced.

Objective To study the antimicrobial resistance of isolated pathogens from surgical infections in Hubei area.Methods The diameters of the inhibition zones of surgical isolates around antibiotic susceptibility test discs in 15 hospitals were computerfiled and analysed by the software of “WHONET 4” according to NCCLS published in 1999.Results] A total of 1314 surgical isolates were collected between October 1998 and September 1999. S.aureus, P.aeruginosa, E.coli, Enterobacter sp. and CNS were the main microorganisms. 44 6% of staphylococcus was resistant to oxacillin. Imipenem, amikacin, ceftazidime and ciprofloxacin were most active against Gram negative bacilli with the sensitities (in descending order) of 84 4% to 57 2%.[WT5”HZ] Conclusion Antimicrobial resistance should be seriously considered during surgical therapy and prohylaxis with antimicrobial agents . The tendency to antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates should be followed up continuously.

10mg/L(n=22) group,and CRP10mg/L group with CRP10mg/L group and the concentration of CRP inverse correlation with serum ALB,Fe,Hb levels.Conclusions The elevated concentration of CRP is considered to be the most common cause of decreased EPO or hyporesponsiveness to EPO in CRF anemia patients. CRP level can predict whether CRF anemia,dificult or easily degree of the anemia correction for CRF patients,all that provide evidence for improving CRF anemia.

Objective To know the sanitary status of waterworks for centralized water supply in Anhui province,and try to enhance the implementation Standards for Drinking Water Quality (GB 5749-2006).Methods From April to November in 2008,the hygienic status and water quality self-test capacity of the waterworks at city,county,enterprise and town levels were investigated.Results As for the source water,over 70% of waterworks were up to the Grade Ⅲ standard.In the hygienic management and water treatment process,the city level water workswere better.The rates of complete water treatment were 80.63%,73.78%,58.12% and 60.46%,respectively for different level water works.The rates of the water quality test equipments fulfilled were 77.77%,42.99%,38.18% and 13.77% respectively.For water quality test,the 119 waterworks only focused on the aesthetic,general chemical and microbiological indexes.The performance rates of toxicological indicators,disinfectants indicators,radioactive indicators and other indicators were 17.65%,26.68%,15.97% and 3.49%,respectively.Conclusion Hygienic management of waterworks of levels for centralized water supply in Anhui province needs to be strengthened,and the water treatment process needs to be improved,the capacity building for self-test of water quality in the waterworks needs to be enhanced.

At present, the particularity and importance of ethical consciousness in the teaching of clinical obstetrics and Gynecology has become increasingly prominent while the education of medical students in the ethics and social responsibility is relatively weak. This study explored a series of practical methods under WEIGHT guide through the real cases, conducting clinical training and sides debate, com-bining multimedia and interview form, in order to strengthen the cultivation of medical students' moral quality and improve the students' comprehensive ability.
