In recent years,the epidemiology of Candida infection has changed.Although Candida albicans is still the main pathogens causing invasive candidiasis,non-albicans Candida species are increasingly encountered.Different Candida species show distinct sensitivity of different drugs.The emergence of drug resistance has become the main problem of Candida in-fection treatment.Antifungal resistance of clinical Candida infections often lead to treatment failure.The review of resistance mechanisms and the effect on clinical treatment is very significant to improve the prognosis of patients and strengthen the control of infection.This text reviews the present state of the detection of mechanisms of resistance in Candida spp .

Objective To investigate the radiobiological effects of VPA-BSANPs on C6 and U87 glioma cells in vitro.Methods C6 and U87 glioma cells were treated with different concentrations of VPA and VPA-BSANPs for 12 h and 24 h,and MTT assay was used to determine cell viability.C6 and U87 cells were treated with different concentrations of VPA and VPA-BSANPs conbined with X-ray irradiation (0,2,4,6,and 8 Gy),and colony formation assay was used to determine plating efficiency (PE).C6 and U87 glioma cells were treated with different concentrations of VPA and VPA-BSANPs for 12 h,followed by X-ray irradiation (0,4,and 8 Gy),and flow cytometry using Annexin V-FITC/PI staining was used to examine cell apoptosis.Western blot was used to evaluate the effects of VPA and VPA-BSANPs on radiation-induced apoptosis protein expression.One-way ANOVA was used for comparison of means with homogeneity of variance between multiple groups,and the t-test was used for comparison of means between two groups.Results Without irradiation,VPA and VPA-BSANPs had no significant inhibitory effects on the proliferation of C6 and U87 cells (P=0.328,0.920).The PE of cells treated with VPA-BSANPs combined with irradiation was significantly lower than that of cells treated with VPA combined with irradiation (P=0.000).In C6 and U87 cells,VPA-BSANPs combined with irradiation increased the expression of p53 and Bax (P =0.000,0.000 and P =0.010,0.002),but reduced the expression of Bcl-2 (P =0.008,0.000).Active caspase-3 fragments were only found in the cells treated with VPA-BSANPs combined with irradiation and VPA combined with irradiation,but were less in the former cells than in the latter cells (P=0.004).The active fragments of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor were only found in the cells treated with VPA-BSANPs combined with irradiation.Conclusions VPA-BSANPs can increase the radiosensitivity of C6 and U87 glioma cells in vitro,possibly by promoting the apoptosis of tumor cells induced by radiation.

Objective:
To investigate the current status of nurses’ perceived professional benefits in 3A-level hospitals in Tianjin, and analyze its influencing factors.
Methods:
A total of 421 clinical nurses from five 3A-level hospitals in Tianjin were recruited for investigation on perceived professional benefits by Nurses’Perceived Professional Benefits Scale.
Results:
The total score of nurses’ perceived professional benefit was 110.50±14.24, the score index was 77.34%. Among five dimensions, the highest scores index was 84.80% for personal development, the lowest was 71.57% for identification by relatives and friends. Multiple linear regression analysis showed the three variables, such as department, teaching and cooperative relation between doctors and nurses entered the model, higher perceived professional benefits was observed in medical nurses, teaching nurses, and those with better cooperative relation between doctors and nurses (

The ITS/ITS2 barcodes were used to simply and effectively identify Codonopsis Radix and its adulter-ants. In this study, ITS (internal transcribed spacer of unclear ribosomal DNA) regions were amplified using PCR (polymerase chain reaction) from thirty-three samples of Codonopsis Radix and ITS2 regions were obtained from the ITS sequences using the hidden Markov model (HMMer)-based annotation methods. The sequences of ITS/ITS2 regions were aligned and the genetic distances were computed by MEGA5.0. Species identification efficiency of ITS/ITS2 sequences were evaluated using BLAST1 and nearest distance methods. The results indicated that The sequences lengths of ITS regions of Codonopsis Radix were 654-655 bp, and the lengths of ITS2 regions were 239 bp. The intraspecific genetic distances among Codonopsis Radix were obviously lower than the interspecific genetic distance between Codonopsis Radix and its adulterants. Therefore, ITS/ITS2 regions can stably and accu-rately distinguish Codonopsis Radix and its adulterants.

Objective To investigate the status of the rehabilitation service and rehabilitation medical professionals in Tianjin. Methods130 hospitals and Disabled Persons' Federations in Tianjin selected by stratified random cluster sampling were surveyed by questionnaires.Results About 49.2% institutions had carried out the rehabilitation services; there were 842 rehabilitation medical professionals in total, including237 rehabilitation physicians and 3 prosthetic orthopaedic technicians, with a gap of nearly 3000 people; most of them were in loweducation. Conclusion The rehabilitation service should be developed; the quantities and quality of the rehabilitation medical professionalsshould be improved, the classified structure and the service objects are unbalanced.

Objective:To confirm the novel allele HLA-A*01∶130 and analyzed the nucleotide sequence of the abnormal reaction pattern.Methods: The HLA typing of sample DNA was performed by PCR-SBT.The ambiguous novel HLA allele was confirmed with single stranded SBT method,then DNA sequencing was performed to identify the difference between the novel allele and HLA-A?01:66 allele.Finally, it was modeled by Swiss-Model to three-dimensional structure of HLA Molecule.Results: The novel allele was not the same with all known HLA-A allele sequence.After analysis,there was one nucleotide differed from the A?01:66 at position 368 where A→G( codon 99 TAT→TGT) resulting in a coding change,99 Tyr was changed to Cys.The amino acid substitution at residue 99 the HLA polypeptide was located in a beta-sheet of antigenic peptide-binding region.Conclusion: The allele is a novel allele that has now been officially named as HLA-A*01∶130 by the World Health Organization( WHO) HLA Nomenclature Committee.

Background and purpose:Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation is the most important predictive factor for determining the effectiveness of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to determine the clinical application value of mutation-speciifc immu-nohistochemistry forEGFR mutation detection in NSCLC.Methods:Mutation-specific immunohistochemistry and ampliifcation refractory mutation system (ARMS) were used simultaneously to detectEGFR gene mutation status in 290 lung cancer specimens. The sensitivity, speciifcity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of mutation-speciifc immunohistochemistry for detectingEGFR gene mutations were evaluated. The consistency was analyzed between mutation-speciifc immunohistochemistry results and ARMS results.Results:With ARMS testing as the gold standard, when a cutoff value of score 1+ was used as positive by immunohistochemistry, the sensitivity of mutation-speciifc immunohistochemistry forEGFR gene mutation was 72.92%, speciifcity 95.20%, positive predictive value 93.75% and negative predictive value 78.08%. The accuracy of immunohistochemistry was obviously different when variousEGFR gene mutations were detected. The sensitivity of immunohistochemistry for exon 19 deletion was only 55.55%, but speciifcity was above 99%. When immunohistochemistry score was 1+, the sensitivity for L858R mu-tation was 90.27%, whereas speciifcity was 95.86%. When immunohistochemistry score was 2+ or 3+, the speciifcity for L858R mutation was 98.63%-100%. The results of mutation-speciifc immunohistochemistry were ifnely correlated with mutation status determined by ARMS assay (P<0.001, Kappa value: 0.612-0.864). Mutation-speciifc immunohis-tochemistry can directly determineEGFR gene mutation abundance at the cellular level.Conclusion:Mutation-speciifc immunohistochemistry could be an effective supplemental method toEGFR molecular tests.
