Objective To expore the mechanism of low-dose interfone-γ(IFN-γ) influences on differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cell. Methods The cerebral cortex samples were obtained from one day old SD rats to form mixed single cell suspensions. After culturing in full medium for 7 to 10 days, succession and differential velocity adherent technique were performed to acquire oligodendrocyte precursor cell and cultured in serum-free medium. IFN-γ, AG490 and Fludarabine were added during the culture of oligodendrocyte precursor cell and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, Western blot and flow cytometry were performed to evaluate the expression of intracellular P27kip1 and its influence on the differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cell. Results (1)The expression of P27kip1 mRNA and protein was lower in IFN-γ group than in control group (t=85. 535, P<0. 05;t= 12. 481, P<0. 05), while the expression of P27kip1 mRNA and protein in IFN-γ+AG490 group and IFN-γ+Fludarabine group were both higher than those in IFN-γ group (P<0. 05). (2) The phosphorylation levels of JAK2/STAT1 in INF-γ group were higher than that in the other three groups (P<0. 05). (3) The percentage of myelin basic protein positive cells was (68. 42 ± 2. 53)% in IFN-γ group, lower than that in control group [(88.21 ± 1.97)%](t=10.682, P < 0.05). Myelin basic protein positive cells in IFN-γ + AG490 group were (57. 63 ±2. 75) %, lower than those in the IFN-γ group. The same figure in IFN-γ+Fludarabine group were (79. 53±4. 15)% , higher than those in IFN-γ group (t = 3.957, P<0.05). Conclusions Low-dose IFN-γ can regulate the expression of intracellular P27kip1 through JAK2/STAT1 signal transduction pathway and Fludarabine may participate in this process and improve the differentiation and maturation of oligodendrocyte precursor cell.

Objective To compare the field-matching techniques and dosimetric characteristics in the target area of testicular seminoma including the abdominal and pelvic cavities between direct aperture optimization intensity modulated radiation therapy (DAO-IMRT) and 3D conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT),and to analyse the advantages and disadvantages of DAO-IMRT.Methods DAO-IMRT and 3D-CRT plans were designed with Pinnacle treatment planning system for 7 testicular seminoma patients,and the characteristics of both the irradiation methods were analyzed and evaluated by means of the parameters like dose homogeneity indexes,dose volume histograms and etc.Results DAO-IMRT had the hot and cold volumes in the target areas both significantly smaller than those by 3D-CRT,while the conformity index and homogeneity index superior to those by 3D-CRT.The mean doses (Dmean) by DAO-IMRT of the organs at risk (OAR) except the left femur head were all lower than those by 3D-CRT,aud the V15 values of liver,double kidney,small intestine and rectum by DAO-IMRT were statistically lower than those by 3D-CRT (P<0.01).3D-CRT had the V5 values of OAR all lower than those by DAO-IMRT,in which the differences of double kidney,small intestine,bladder,left femur head and normal tissues were significant statistically (P<0.05).The monitor units by DAO-IMRT roughly doubled when compared with those by 3D-CRT,and the difference was also significant (P<0.01).Conclusion DAO-IMRT with easy operation and high reliability can avoid the connection of fields in the target area of testicular seminoma,and is superior to 3D-CRT in dosimetry.

OBJECTIVE To investigate genes associated with the drug-resistance of ?-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa(PAE) isolated from clinical patients. METHODS ?-Lactamase genes including TEM,SHV,OXA-10,PER,VEB,GES,CARB,IMP,VIM,SPM,GIM,DHA,FOX,MOX and oprD2 were detected by PCR amplification in 33 PAE isolates. RESULTS TEM,SHV,GES,CARB and VIM genes were positive in 100%,6.1%,6.1%,9.1% and 12.1% of 33 isolates,respectively.The deletion of oprD2 gene was found in 22 isolates.Other ?-lactamase genes were absent in all isolates.By PCR amplification,DNA sequencing and BLASTn comparison analysis,the CARB genes of 2 strains were demonstrated to be CARB-3 and the VIM genes of 2 strains were VIM-2. CONCLUSIONS P.aeruginosa carries various beta-lactamase genes in clinical PAE patients,and the deletion ratio of oprD2 gene is high.

Objective:
To a evaluate the effectiveness of comprehensive nutrition interventions among primary school students in Yiwu City, so as to provide insights into malnutrition control among children.
Methods:
Grade 3 to 5 students were sampled from four primary schools in Yiwu City using a random cluster sampling method and randomly assigned into the intervention group and the control group. Students in the intervention group received comprehensive interventions, including nutritional health education, promotion of physical activities, nutritional meal support and creation of a nutritional campus, while students in the control group were given no interventions. The awareness of nutritional health knowledge, dietary behaviors and nutritional status were compared in students between the two groups prior to interventions and one year following interventions, and the effectiveness of interventions was evaluated using generalized estimating equations.
Results:
Totally 879 students were enrolled. There were 440 students in the intervention group, including 243 males and 197 females, with a male to female ratio of 1︰0.81 and a mean age of (10.47±0.99) years; and there were 439 students in the control group, including 244 males and 195 females, with a male to female ratio of 1︰0.80 and a mean age of (10.35±1.02) years. Following comprehensive interventions, the awareness of “type of food”, “seven nutriments from food”, “eating at least 12 types of food daily”, “less than 6 g of daily salt intake”, “food composition in nutritional breakfast”, “nutritional labels of pure milk”, “no less than 60 min of daily exercise duration” and “too fat or too thin may threaten health” and the increase in the proportion of 3 and more types of food in breakfast were significantly higher among students in the intervention group than in the control group (all P<0.05); however, there was no statistical difference in the proportion of normal nutrition between the two groups (P>0.05).
Conclusion
The comprehensive nutritional interventions may effectively increase the awareness of nutrition health knowledge and improve dietary behaviors among primary school students.

Objective To assess the impact of intervention with Insulin therapy management unit program in the poorly controlled type 2 diabetic patients in a community of Shanghai.Methods There were 55 patients with type 2 diabetes with poorly controlled hyperglycemia (HbA1C ≥ 8%) enrolled in this study.They were divided at random into 2 groups:intensive care group and standard care group.The subjects in intensive care group were provided with a glucose meter and required to monitor their blood glucose levels at least 2 or 3 times per day.Community health provider acquired information of blood glucose level,episodes of hypoglycemia,and dosage of insulin every week by cell phone.Standard care patients received diabetes care from the same provider in outpatient clinic every month.Results By the end of 6 months of intervention,the intensive care group showed a significant difference in HbA1C as compared to the standard care group (7.40% ±0.91% vs 8.65 % ± 1.28%,P<0.01).The frequency of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) was 4 times per month in both groups at baseline.After intervention,the frequency of SMBG in intensive care group was greatly increased compared to standard care group (50times per month vs 5 times per month,P<0.01).The frequency of self-reported hypoglycemia in intensive care group was increased compared to standard care group (3 times per month vs once per month,P<0.01).The average daily dose of insulin in intensive care group was increased 6 units by the end of the present study(P>0.05).Conclusion After 6 months of intervention,the glycemic control was obviously improved in type 2 diabetic patients treated with insulin and the daily dose of insulin was not increased significantly.TheInsulin therapy management unit is effective and safe.
