Glycogen storage diseases (GSD) are a group of inherited disorders characterized by enzyme defects that affect the glycogen metabolism. Hypoglycemia, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly and growth retardation are the main clinical manifestations. The enzymes affecting glycogen synthesis and degradation are varied.Consequently, the clinical manifestations are different because of different enzyme defection. Most patients treated regularly can obtain the normal growth and grow to adults, but still can be accompanied long-term complications by adulthood. Now some scientists find new modified cornstarch is superior to standard therapy in maintaining blood glucose levels. Gene therapy is still in the experimental animals.

Triple negative breast cancer(TNBC) is defined by the lack of estrogen receptor (ER) , progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 ( Her-2) expression. It is a subtype of tumor with distinct clinical and pathologic features and lacks effective targeted therapies. It is non - sensitive to endocrine therapy and targeted therapy drug herceptin, leaving chemotherapy as the mainstay of treatment The feature and the treatment of TNBC is the hotspot of resent research.

C-termini of proteins often play an important role in various biological processes, such as the transcription and translation from DNA to protein and also participating in various biological regulations. The determination of protein C-terminus is so crucial because it provides not only distinct functional annotation, but also a way to monitor the proteolysis-modified proteins. Based on the biological mass spectrometry, a series of novel methods and technologies were developed both for qualitative and quantitative analyses of protein C-terminus. These methods or technologies can be applied to accurate and effective protein C-terminus profiling, including the sequences and quantitative information of C-termini, which reveals the biological function of C-termini in life's activities and provides a better understanding of the degradation of mature proteins. Combined with our research, this review highlights the improvements in C-terminal proteomics study in the past decades, including the methodologies for recognition and identification of C-terminus, as well as the enrichment strategies for protein C-terminus.

OBJECTIVETo explor the curative effect of double pedicle sliding skin flap for correction of cryptotia.

METHODSFrom January 2011 to October 2014, 7 cases with cryptotia (12 ears) were treated. We designed a double pedicle sliding skin flap above the helix. The flap was slided downward to form a new auriculocephalic sulcus. The other wound was covered by skin graft.

RESULTSAll wounds healed very well with no complication. The follow-up period ranged from 3 months to 1 year, with an average of (5.67 ± 3.38) months. The ear had stable appearance with no recurrence. The result was satisfactory.

CONCLUSIONSThe method is simple with reliable flap survival rates. The new auriculocephalic sulcus is stable and resistant. It's a good choice for correction of cryptotia.

OBJECTIVE To investigate probationer nurses' knowledge about nosocomial infection (NI) and clean operating-room. METHODS Survey among probationer nurses was performed by self-designed questionnaires. RESULTS 47% probationer nurses thought it very necessary to strength knowledge about NI before probation. The scores of clean operating-room knowledge was lower than that nosocomial infection (NI); The cognition rate among high educated probationer nurses were higher than low educated,P

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy of combined oral and intratympanic glucocorticoids treatment for severe to profound sudden sensorineural hearing loss(SSNHL).METHODSFifty-four patients with severe to profound SSNHL were retrospectively studied. They were treated with oral steroids, vasodilators, anticoagulants. The patients who accepted intratympanic methylprednisolone sodium succinate were included the therapy group, the others were included in the control group. Hearing improvements were analyzed respectively after two weeks.RESULTSHearing in both groups were improved significantly after treatment(P<0.01), but there was no difference in hearing improvements between two groups(P=0.194). The efficacy for severe SSNHL patients in therapy group was equal to those who were in control group (P=0.251), so was the efficacy for profound SSNHL patients in both groups(P=0.380).CONCLUSIONThe combined systemic and intratympanic glucocorticoids treatment was effective for patients with severe to profound SSNHL, but while with no better efficacy than oral glucocorticoid alone.

Aim To establish the fatty liver animal model induced by high-fat diet.Observe the dynamic variety of the hepatic steatosis in the different time.Finding out the ideal animal model-making time of hyperlipidemia and nonalcoholic fatty liver.Methods 50 wistar rats were fed with high-fat diet.The serum TG,TC,HDL,LDL,AST,and ALT were detected from 2 to 6 weeks.At the same time,we analyzed the hepatic steatosis situation. Results The rats developed hyperlipidemia and slight fatty liver after two weeks.In the following weeks,the serum lipid level and liver index kept rising.So did the amount of steatosis cells in liver tissue.The 3～4 weeks animal model had developed moderate fatty liver and the 5～6 weeks animal model had developed serious fatty liver.Liver fibrosis was detected in the 6 weeks animal model.Conclusions Feeding with high-fat diet,different phases of fatty liver had been developed in six weeks,and could been used for correlative pharmacological test.

Set up observation group and control one,observe electro-acupuncture's effect on Fluoxetine side effect during treatment of depression.The result shows electro-acupuncture has improvement on side effect of Fluoxetine,which is more marked with long medication.
