cAMP response element binding protein(CREB) is a genetranscription regulator locating in the nucleus.The activated CREB by phosphoration plays an important role by binding to the cAMP response elements and modulate the transcription of various target genes.In addition,the activity of CREB is also regulated by lots of transcriptional regulators in signal transduction mechanism.In central nerve system,CREB participates in promoting neuron growth,the processes of plasticity and long term memory.More importantly,researches of CREB in the pathological processes of Alzheimers disease,Hungtingtons disease and HIV-related dementia have made a progress recently,providing a basis for some therapy strategies to the related neurodegenerative disorders.

Cell senescence is an important anti-cancer mechanism and may contribute to cancer therapeutic outcome. The present study observed the effects of Tenglong Buzhong Decoction (TLBZD), a Chinese herbal formula, on senescence in human colon carcinoma LS-174-T cells.

Objective: To observe the effects of Tenglong Buzhong Decoction (TLBZD), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on proliferation and apoptosis of colon carcinoma cell line LS174T in vitro. Methods: Human colon carcinoma cell line LS174T and human colon epithelial cell line CRL-1790 were treated with different doses of TLBZD. Cell proliferation was detected with cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and clone formation assay. Cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry, and caspase-3, -8 and -9 activities in LS174T cells were detected by colorimetric assay. Results: TLBZD had no obvious cytotoxicity in normal CRL-1790 cells. After 72-hour treatment of 1 mg/mL TLBZD, or 48- and 72-hour of 2 mg/mL TLBZD, or 24-, 48- and 72-hour of 5-20 mg/mL TLBZD, proliferation of LS174T cells was significantly inhibited. Clone formation of LS174T cells was significantly inhibited by 1 to 20 mg/mL TLBZD treatment. TLBZD at doses of 5 to 20 mg/mL also induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G(0)/G(1) phase in LS174T cells. In addition, caspase-3, -8 and -9 activities were significantly elevated after 5 to 20 mg/mL TLBZD treatment. Conclusion: TLBZD can inhibit cell proliferation, arrest cell cycle at G(0)/G(1) phase, and induce apoptosis in LS174T cells, which may be related to activating of caspase-3, -8 and -9.

Methods 76 patients with Alzheimer's disease from January 2009 to May 2011 were taken as the research object.They were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 38 cases in each group.The control group was given conventional procedures for nursing care,and the observation group used humanistic nursing care as the guidance.The MMSE scale score,living ability index and family satisfaction degree before nursing and 1 month and 3 months after nursing for the two groups were taken for statistical comparison. Results The proportion of patients whose MMSE scale≥ 21 points and living ability score ranging from71 to 95 1 month and 3 months after care were higher than those of the control group.The satisfaction degree of patients in the observation group was also higher than the control group. Conclusions Humanistic care can significantly improve the cognitive dysfunction and living ability of patients with Alzheimer's disease,besides,family members of patients are more satisfied with this nursing model.

Objective:To investigate the effect on proliferation and apoptosis of T-cell leukemia cells by silencing NRP-1 ( Jurkat cells).Methods:The lentivirus plasmid which expresses NRP1 gene specific shRNA was constructed in our preliminary ex-perimental.We transfected the lentivirus plasmid to human T-cell Lymphoma cells.The proliferation of Jurkat cells different groups and effect on cell proliferation after chemotherapy drug EPI-treated were found by CCK-8 kit.The proliferation level and apoptosis rate of the cells were detected by flow cytometry and Annexin-V-FITC/PI method.Results:The proliferation level of NRP-1 /shRNA interference group was decreased significantly in 48 h,72 h,96 h,which was compared with the control groups.The apoptosis rate of the NRP-1/shRNA interference group was increased compared with control groups.The chemotherapy drug sensitivity of epirubicin ( EPI ) test results showed that EPI concentration was 0.025,0.05,0.1,0.2,0.4 μg/ml,the NRP-1/shRNA interference group of cell growth inhibition rate was increased,the corresponding control group difference had statistical significance(P<0.05).We choose the drug con-centration of the EPI IC50 for next experiments.NRP-1/shRNA interference group cell apoptosis rate increased significantly after induction,compared with the control groups difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05 ).Compared with control group, the expression level of Bcl-2 protein was decreased and the expression level of bax protein was increased significantly after EPI induction.The percentage of cells at G0/G1 phase increased significantly,while those at S phase decreased significantly.Conclusion:Plasmid shRNA-NRP1 inhibited the expression of NRP1 in Jurkat cells and decreased the proliferation level of Jurkat cells and promote their apoptosis and enhance their drug sensitivity;the molecular mechanism may relate to down-regulation of Bcl-2 and up-regulation of Bax.and arrested the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase.

Internationalization is the inevitable trend of the development of graduate education. The graduate education in China faces many difficulties in the process of internationalization. For ex-ample, in thegoing out process it can not get international recognition, and in recruit there is in-adequate management, and the training quality is not high.Medical education has its own characteris-tics, and its internationalization process is more difficult. The authors has made an investigation of oral medical students studying in his work unit, and on the basis of the findings, puts forward some coun-termeasures for improving oral medical students' graduate education management.

BACKGROUND:A large amount of apicocoronal and buccolingual bone resorption occur in alveolar bone after tooth extraction, leading to the distinct shortage of bone mass of alveolar bone in tooth-missing area, which has a certain effect on the stability of early implantation and postoperative aesthetic outcomes and greatly affects the long-term success rate of denture implantation. Therefore, immediate-delayed implantation can shorten the time of repair. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of implant repair after immediate-delayed implantation and application of guided bone regeneration technique in anterior maxila area. METHODS:Nineteen patients (28 teeth lost) with maxilary anterior tooth loss and labial one-waled bone defects were selected. Twenty-eight OSSTEM implants were implanted at 4 weeks after tooth extraction. Guided bone regeneration technique was applied concurrently in labial bone defect area. The secondary repair was performed after 6 months. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The success rate of these 28 implants was 100% at 24 months after denture implantation. The peri-implant bone height loss at 6, 12 and 24 months was 0.1, 0.6 and 0.11 mm, respectively. Red aesthetic scores were satisfactory. Immediate-delayed implantation combined with application of guided bone regeneration technique for treatment of maxilary anterior tooth loss and mild bone defect can restore the height and width of peri-implant bone and acquire stable vertical bone resorption and satisfactory gingival aesthetic outcomes .

Objective To investigate the risk factors for colorectal cancer adjuvant chemotherapy induced leucopenia. Methods The basic clinical data of 108 patients with colorectal cancer who had received radical operation and adjuvant chemotherapy were retrospectively evaluated. The patients were divided into two groups: normal white blood cell group (39 patients) and leucopenia group (69 patients). The data were analyzed with SPSS 22.0 software, t test, χ2 test , univariate analysis and multifactor Logistic regression analysis, and analysis of variance to investigate the risk factors for colorectal cancer adjuvant chemotherapy induced leucopenia. Results Univariate analysis revealed that the female patients and the ones who received radiotherapy were more prone to leucopenia (P<0.01), while hypertension, the levels of white blood cell, neutrophil counting and serum creatinine before chemotherapy were protective factors for leucopenia (P<0.05 or<0.01). Multifactor Logistic regression analysis revealed that the level of serum creatinine before chemotherapy was an independent risk factor for leucopenia, OR = 0.950 (95% CI: 0.906- 0.996, P<0.05). The further analysis showed the lower the level of serum creatinine, the more severe the leucopenia would be (P = 0.04). Conclusions The level of serum creatinine before chemotherapy was an independent risk factor for colorectal cancer adjuvant chemotherapy induced leucopenia.

Objective To analyze the efficacy and safety of erlotinib associated conformal intensity modulated radiotherapy in treatment (IMRT) of locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma.

The patients′ therapeutic methods: erlotinib was taken continuously and orally at 100 mg/time, 1 time/d until disease progressed or serious adverse reactions happened; intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) was used combined with erlotinib at 50.4 Gy, 1 time/d, 1.8 Gy/time, 5 times/week, total 28 times. Tumor response was evaluated at the end of radiotherapy after 4 weeks. Results In 23 patients, there was partial response in 10 cases, stable disease in 9 cases and progress disease in 4 cases. The objective response rate was 43.5%(10/23), and the median survival time was 11.3 months. Adverse reactions included fatigue, rash, bone marrow suppression, nausea and diarrhea. The adverse reactions were mostly tolerable with grade 1-2. Conclusions Erlotinib combined with IMRT is safe and effective in patients with locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma, which is worthy of further study.

Objective To explore the clinical features of neonatal septicemia caused by Lester. Methods The clinical features of septicemia caused by Lester bacteria in 9 neonates confirmed by blood culture during from January 2011 to June 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Results All of the 9 cases were premature and cesarean delivery. The main clinical manifestations were cyanosis (7 cases), fever (5 cases), anhelation (4 cases), hypomyotonia (4 cases), and respiratory distress (3 cases). Blood cultures in 9 cases were detected Lester bacteria with 3 cases found in sputum and 1 case in both sputum and cerebrospinal fluid. Drug sensitivity test showed that Lester bacteria were sensitive to ampicillin, penicillin, and sulfamethoxazole. All of the 9 cases adjusted anti-infective medications after the diagnosis of Lester septicemia by blood culture, and all of them were cured or improved, and discharged. Conclusion Neonatal Lester infection is a serious infectious disease. Fever in pregnant women should alert clinicians to Lester infection. Early detection of pathogens and targeted treatment can help improve prognosis.
