Based on a correct understanding of the related concepts and system of the evaluation of human resources for military medical sciences ( EHRMMS), this thesis established a three-dimension model of EHRMMS that is composed of the evaluation goal, evaluation subject and evaluation object, and analyzed the factors that affect the crucial parameters in the model.We also analyzed the features and regularity of the evaluation model, and tentatively explored the application of the model.

Aim To construct eukaryotic expression vector of shRNA(small hairpin RNA)for human SREBP-1(sterol regulation element binding protein-1)gene and explore its effects on lipid droplet formation in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cell line(HKC)under the stimulation of high glucose.Methods Two eukaryotic expression vectors of shRNA were constructed for human SREBP-1 gene.The HKC cells were transfected with negative control plasmid(pGenesil-1-HK)and two recombinant vectors(pGenesil-1-SREBP1-1 and pGenesil-1-SREBP1-2)and then were cultured under the stimulation of high glucose for about 48 h.The expression of SREBP-1 mRNA and FAS mRNA was detected by RT-PCR and SREBP-1 protein expression was investigated by Western blot.Lipid droplets were detected by Oil Red O staining.Results DNA sequencing showed that the target segments were successfully cloned into pGenesil-1 vector respectively.RT-PCR indicated that two recombinant vectors could inhibit the expression of SREBP-1 mRNA and FAS mRNA in HKC cells under the stimulation of high glucose.Similarly,SREBP-1 protein was also inhibited by the transfection with recombinant vectors.Oil Red O staining found that silencing of SREBP-1 gene resulted in lipid droplets decrease.Conclusions The eukaryotic expression vector of shRNA for human SREBP-1 gene was successfully constructed,and the expression of SREBP-1 was inhibited effectively by the expressed siRNA in HKC cells that resulted in lipid droplets decrease through FAS mRNA transcription inhibition.

Objective To evaluate the significance of the expression level of aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3(AKR1C3) for esophageal carcinoma patients treated with radiotherapy.Methods The clinical data of 28 patients with locally advanced esophageal carcinoma treated with radiotherapy alone was retrospectively analyzed, and the expression level of AKR1C3 was detected by immunohistochemistry.Statistical analysis was performed using SAS 8 statistical software, P<0.05 was considered statistically significant difference.Results The expression level of AKR1C3 was different in esophageal carcinoma patients at different levels of differentiation.The level of AKR1C3 expression was negatively correlated with efficacy of radiotherapy (P=0.031, 95%CI 0.151-0.914).Conclusion AKR1C3 can serve as a promising biomarker of the efficacy of radiotherapy for esophageal cancer.

Glioblastoma(GBM)is one of the most common primary intracranial tumor that has high de-gree of malignancy ,invasive ability and a fatal prognosis .In recent years ,with the development of modern technol-ogy in biomedical sciences ,the understanding on GBM has developed gradually from pathological diagnosis to mo -lecular classifications ,which is based on the molecular characteristics of genetic signatures .Based on gene expres-sion and DNA methylation patterns , primary glioblastoma is divided into four subtypes , including the classical , neural,proneural and mesenchymal .These molecular classifications are closely relevant to the biological charac-teristics of glioblastoma .This review briefly introduces the molecular classifications of primary glioblastoma , but mainly focuses on the changes of the major genetic EGFR ,PTEN and PI3K,CDKN2A in the classical subtype of GBM,and discusses the treatment strategies for primary glioblastoma .

Objective:To explore the influence of childhood psychological abuse, neglect and alexithymia on the boredom proneness of college students.Methods:The boredom proneness scale for college students(BPS), child psychological abuse and neglect scale (CPANS) and the Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-20) were used to investigate 1 557 college students, and SPSS 22.0 was used for descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis.Results:Childhood psychological abuse (26.540±8.985), neglect (32.665±10.651), recognition emotion in alexithymia dimension (19.359±4.835), description emotion dimension (14.173±3.001), extroverted thinking dimension in alexithymia (20.383±3.429) had positive correlation with the total score of boredom tendency (101.109±19.735) and the dimension of external stimulus (66.022±21.079)( r=0.160-0.559, all P<0.01). And there were negative correlations with the internal stimulus dimension (35.132±8.207)( r=-0.302--0.104, all P<0.01). The hierarchical regression analysis showed that after controlling the effects of gender and age, psychological abuse and neglect were the influencing factors of boredom proneness, internal stimulus and external stimulus, which explained 14.3%, 5.1% and 18.2% of the total variation (△ F=130.561, 41.968, 172.711, all P<0.01). Recognition of emotions, description of emotions and extroverted thinking in alexithymia were the influencing factors of boredom proneness, internal stimulus and external stimulus, which explained 17.5%, 9.9% and 25.5% of the total variation (△ F=134.274, 60.696, 234.383, all P<0.01). Conclusion:Childhood psychological abuse, neglect and alexithymia have significant effect on boredom proneness of college students, and mainly on external stimuli of boredom proneness. Among them, alexithymia has the greatest influence and the highest explanatory power.

Objective To investigate the percentage,mature classification and Immune killing function of Vγ9Vδ2T cell in peripheral blood of HCC patients.Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from HCC patients (n =25) and healthy donors (n =20) by discontinuous density gradient centrifugation.Proportion,mature and differentiate subtypes and IFN-γ and CD107a expressing of the delta 2 T cells were detect by using flow cytometry,δ2Tcell were selectively cultured with zoledronate and human IL-2.After 12-14 days cells were collected and tested for the second time.Results While the percentage of Vγ9Vδ2Tcell of total T cell in peripheral blood of HCC patients is lower than healthy people before culture (t =4.505,P ＜ 0.001),after augmentation in vitro the proportion increased significantly (t =8.782,P ＜ 0.001),to a level similar to healthy group (t =1.644,P =0.109).There was no statistically significant difference when differentiation subtypes of patient's Vγ9Vδ2Tcell were compared with healthy group before culturing (all P ＞ 0.05),after culture the proportion of Tn,Tcm and Temra decreased [t(Tn) =2.081,t(Tcm) =2.478,t(Temra) =2.953,all P ＜ 0.05],and the proportion of Tem,Tem+ Temra increased [t(Tem) =12.6,t (Tem + Temra) =9.843,all P ＜ 0.001].Cell culture did not alter the proportion of IFN-γ and CD107a secreting Vγ9Vδ2T cells in the peripheral blood in both HCC patients and healthy people (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions While the percentage of Vγ9Vδ2T cell of HCC patients in peripheral blood was lower than healthy people,its matured subtypes are similar to those of healthy people,and functions of expressing IFN-γ and CD107a are not different with healthy people.Applying ZOL + IL-2 can amplifyVγ9Vδ2T cells of patients with HCC.

In this study, ITS2 barcode was used to identify Bupleurum chinense and B. longiradiatum. The ITS2 regions of 48 samples were amplified and sequenced. The sequences obtained above were aligned and the K2P distances were calculated. We used three methods, BLAST1, nearest distance and phylogenetic tree (NJ-tree), to test the identification ability. The results showed that the maximum intraspecific genetic distance of B. chinense was 0.013, and the minimum interspecific genetic distance between B. chinense and B. longiradiatum was 0.049. The NJ-tree can easily identify B. chinense and B. longiradiatum. Therefore, the ITS2 barcode is suitable to identify B. chinense and B. longiradiatum.

Objective:The relationship between the effect of early metabolism in 18F-FDG PET/CT and conventional CT based on the RE-CIST standard to evaluate the best objective response after chemotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Meth-ods:We studied 40 patients with unresectable locally advanced or advanced NSCLC that were confirmed pathologically. The patients were 35 years old to 78 years old and included 31 males and 9 females. Three patients have unresectable stageⅢA, 8 patients have stageⅢB, 29 patients have stageⅣ, 12 patients have squamous cell carcinoma, and 28 patients have adenocarcinoma. The PET/CT for the effect of chemotherapy was evaluated in NSCLC according to the SUV standard (SUVmax reduction>30%of primary lung can-cer after one cycle of chemotherapy), and the CT for the effect of chemotherapy was evaluated on the basis of NSCLC according to the RECIST standard. The objectives of the study are as follows:compare the differences and consistency between 18F-FDG PET/CT metabol-ic response after the first cycle of chemotherapy and the RECIST best objective response after the first or second cycle of chemothera-py with the paired chi-square test and kappa test;calculate the 18F-FDG PET/CT to predict the best objective response of two cycles of chemotherapy according to RECIST on the basis of NSCLC in terms of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and neg-ative predictive value;compare the differences in SUVmax reduction between the metabolic remission group and metabolic no relief group with the two-sample t-test. All statistical methods were 0.05 for the inspection level, and P<0.05 was considered statistically sig-nificant difference (SPSS19.0). Results:Differences were found between the first cycle of chemotherapy for the RECIST best objective response and 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic response (χ2=5.063, P=0.021), and the results had bad consistency (Kappa=0.240, P=0.085). No differences were observed between the second cycle of chemotherapy for the RECIST best objective response and 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic response (χ2=2.083, P=0.146);the results had good consistency (Kappa=0.413, P=0.006). The sensitivity, specificity, accura-cy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 82%, 61%, 70%, 61%, and 82%, respectively. The differences in SUV-max reduction between the metabolic remission group and metabolic no relief group with the two-sample t-test were statistically sig-nificant (P<0.001). Conclusion: 18F-FDG PET/CT may predict the best objective response to chemotherapy for NSCLC patients. Com-pared with conventional CT, 18F-FDG PET/CT can be an early and accurate way to evaluate the chemotherapy effect in NSCLC.
