In order to investigate the mutation of HBV polymerase gene reverse transcription conserved region (P region) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients, 212 CHB patients who took antiretroviral treatment with nucleotide analogues were chosen. The drug resistance mutations of HBV P region and HBV genotype were detected by Pyrosequencing. Sequence analysis showed that the drug resistance sites of HBV P region located at sites 173; 180; 181; 184; 204; 236 and 250. The main site of HBV P region drug resistance was 204 and 180, accounting for 35.8% and 23.5%, respectively. There were significant differences in the mutation rate of site 180 among different age groups. There were also significant differences in the mutation rate of site 204 among younger than 30 age group, 41 to 50 age group and 51 to 60 age group. (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The mutation rate of site 180 combined with site 204 was 66.6%. The mutation rate of site 181 combined with site 236 was 23.3%. The age of C genotype infected patients was significantly older than B genotype infected patients (P < 0.01). M204V/I mutation mostly existed in the form of joint L180M mutation, the mutation rate was age-related. The detection of HBV genotypes and drug resistance sites of HBV P region have important clinical implications for the treatment and prognosis of patients with CHB.

Objective To discuss the biological and pathological features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of primary malignant mel-anoma of the foreskin. Methods The diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of one case of primary malignant melanoma of foreskin treated in our hospital was reported, and the related literatures were reviewed. Results The tumour stage of the patient was stage I, and the patient was given partial amputation of the penis and bilateral inguinal lymph node dissection. Chemotherapy and immunotherapy were conducted at the same time. And there was no recurrence metastasis of during the postoperative follow-up of 54 months. Conclusion Primary malignant melanoma of the foreskin is rare in clinical and it is of high malignant degree. Its diagnosis depends on pathology and surgery is the main treatment. Postoperative chemotherapy and immunotherapy can prolong the survival time of patients, but the overall prognosis is poor.

As the great progress in computer technology, the image reconstruction of PET has been extensively studied, especially the fast methods being able to suppress the noise and meanwhile improve spatial resolution. This paper gives a brief description of the principle and research status of PET reconstructions, and that of 3D PET as well.

BACKGROUND:We tried to combine 8-bromo-7-methoxychrysin and sorafenib in order to offset the tolerance of hepatocelular cancer stem cels to sorafenib, thereby comprehensively improving the therapeutic efficacy on hepatocelular carcinoma. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of 8-bromo-7-methoxychrysin, sorafenib and their combination on apoptosis of liver cancer stem-like cels SMMC-7721, and to analyze their mechanisms. METHODS:SMMC-7721 cels were treated with 8-bromo-7-methoxychrysin, sorafenib alone and their combination for 24 hours. Then, flow cytometry was used to detect cel apoptosis and western blot assay was used to determine nuclear factor-κB protein expression. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with 8-bromo-7-methoxychrysin group and sorafenib group, the apoptotic rates of SMMC-7721 cels were significantly enhanced after treatment with the combination of 8-bromo-7-methoxychrysin group and sorafenib (2.5, 5, 10, 50 μmol/L), and meanwhile, the protein expression of nuclear factor-κB was down-regulated significantly. These findings indicate that the combined therapy of 8-bromo-7-methoxychrysin group and sorafenib can enhance the apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cels, which may be associated with down-regulation of nuclear factor-κB protein.

Objective To explore tetrandrine on murine hemangioendothelioma cell and its mechanisms.Methods Explore the effect of tetrandrine on EOMA cells in time and concentration MTT experiment, the content of tetrandrine treated EOMA cells in different cell cycle detected by flow cytometry, speculated effect of tetrandrine on G1/S phase checkpoint for EOMA cells blocking.Western blot analyzed the molecular mechanism of tetrandrine induced EOMA cell block, and intracellular reactive oxygen species level were detected byflow cytometry.Then used the active oxygen scavenger NAC pretreated cells after drug incubation.Results Tetrandrine could inhibit the cell reproduction, and showed a concentration and time dependence, role in tetrandrine 20μM was significantly inhibited after 48 h.Tetrandrine caused mainly by EOMA cells during the cell cycle of G1/S phase cell block, so as to achieve the effect of inhibiting cell proliferation.Tetrandrine increased intracellular reactive oxygen species ( ROS) blockade effect of elevated levels of cell cycle to achieve, and the regulation of AKT, GSK-3 βand p53 cell cycle upstream protein level, finally maked the expression changes.Further research proved that, tetrandrine induced up-regulation of ROS level in cells to induce EOMA cell cycle arrest.Moreover, regulated by the ROS inhibitor NAC could significantly inhibit EOMA cell cycle factor.Conclusion Tetrandrine can inhibit tumor angiogenesis, which provides theory basis for clinical anti-cancer drugs in inhibiting tumor growth.

China is one of the countries where the prevalence rate of endemic fluorosis is very high.There are about one hundred million people suffering fluorosis.Many researchers are paying more and more attention to this field.Recently,some researches indicated that particular nutrients can influence fluorosis.This article reviewed the relationship between intake of protein and energy,mineral,vitamin and the occurrence and sequelae of fluorosis.

Periprosthetic fracture,a complication of prosthetic replacement of joint,is intimately related to the type of prosthesis and the situation of patient,while the treatment is sophisticated.This review highlights the current mechanisms and various treatment methods for periprosthetic fractures after Hinge Knee Prosthesis,providing important implications for the selection of therapeutic strategy and author's understanding of this case.

Interference of P with determination of Ca in food and the effect of interference suppressing agents of La, Sr and 8-hydroxyquinoline were studied. The results showed that 1) interference of P with Ca related to P/Ca ratio, the relative absorbance of Ca were getting increase along with, the decrease of P/Ca ratio if P/Ca ratio about 0.6; 2) La was more effective than the other interference suppressing agents. The relative absorbance of calcium reached to about 90% when 0.5% or 1% La was used in the P/Ca ratio of 30; 3) Sr had two actions. On one hand Sr had some suppressing action on P interference, and on the other hand Sr depressed the Ca absorption signal obviously; and 4) 8-hydroxyqui-noline had some but not very effective interference suppressing action. The content of Ca determined in food SRM were lower than certified value using 0.1% 8-hydroxyquinoline as interference suppressing agent.
