OBJECTIVE:To study the mechanism that apoptosis of NB4 cells were induced by artesunate. METHODS: The apoptosis of NB4 cell induced by artesunate was determined by Annexin V-FITC FCM analysis and cytomorphology and the activity of Caspase-3 was determined by ELISA assay. RESULTS: Artesunate could induce apoptosis of NB4 cell with the activity of Caspase-3 increasing. CONCLUSIONS: The apoptosis of NB4 cell induced by artesunate is achieved by activating Caspase-3.

The deficiencies in reading popularization at present were analyzed, the concepts of liberal education and liberal platform were described, and the successful experiences in liberal platform-based reading popularization in academic libraries were summarized, such as experiencing human library by stressing on communication between users, achieving the reading and education effect by applying the liberal concept, selecting reading materials based on the needs of teachers and students, and establishing special reading popularization team.

The contents, methods and commons of social information service in Markerere University Library were analyzed according to the social information service in domestic academic libraries and the enlightenments on extending social information service in domestic academic libraries were elaborated, such as active participating in study of social problems and attaching importance to librarians training .

Objective Compared with surgical operation,to investigate the clinical efficacy and advantages of interventional treatment in blunt liver traum.Methods 32 patients from July 2010 to October 2012,who were diagnosed as blunt liver trauma,received super selective hepatic artery embolization in Chinese People's Liberation Army in 98th Hospital.Another 27 ones received operation at the same time in Peolies's Liberation Army 98th (AAST grade Ⅱ to Ⅳ).Retrospective analysis of related cases was presented.The results were analyzed by t test.Results All of 32 patients that received super selective hepatic artery embolization were stanched bleeding successfully.All patients were followed up for 3 to 18 months,the mean follow-up time was 10 months,with no severe complications occurred or no lost cases.Conclusions Compared with surgical operation,interventional treatment had advantage that included eliable hemostasis,less operation time,minimally invasive and less hospitalization time.Interventional treatment had good effects on blunt liver trauma which were AAST grade Ⅱ to Ⅲ.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and pseudoaccommodation in the early stage after AcrySof ReSTOR multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) and monofocal IOL implantation.Methods A total of 138 patients (158 eyes) with age-related cataract underwent phacoemulsification and IOL implantation were chosen,73eyes of 60 patients with a multifocal IOL implantation as observation group and 85 eyes of 78 patients with monofocal IOL implantation as control group.The uncorrected visual acuity,best corrected visual acuity was evaluated at 1 week,1 month,and 3 months after operation,pseudoaccommodation and quality of life was evaluated at 3 months after operation.Results The patients of both observation group and control group were able to obtain a satisfactory distance vision at 1 week,1 month,and 3 months.The uncorrected intermediate visual acuity of observation group were 0.49 ± 0.19,0.72 ± 0.21,0.77 ±0.23,which of control group were 0.24 ± 0.21,0.27 ± 0.22,0.28 ± 0.24,there were statistical differences between two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).The uncorrected near visual acuity of observation group were 0.47 ± 0.20,0.70 ± 0.22,0.80 ± 0.24,which of control group were 0.21 ±0.23,0.23 ±0.19,0.26 ±0.18,there were statistical differences between two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the uncorrected near visual acuity,best corrected distance,intermediate and near visual acuity between observation group and control group (all P ＞ 0.05).At 3 months,the distance and near pseudoaccommodation of observation group were (2.56 ± 0.82) D,(3.19 ±1.13)D,which of control group were (0.87 ±0.57)D,(1.03 ±0.59) D,there were statistical differences between two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).At 3 months,VF-14 scale score and wearing glasses as near score of observation group were 92.21 ±4.22,4.23 ±0.85,which of control group were 71.23 ± 3.96,2.01 ± 0.71,there were statistical differences between two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion AcrySof ReSTOR multifocal intraocular lens implantation can provide a higher level of visual acuity,pseudoaccommodation and satisfaction compared with monofocal intraocular lens.

At present, there are 8 sources of neural stem calls (NSCs), such as the early embryo, umbilical cord blood, brain tissue of adults and bone marrow, which are used for experiments. Four methods are also provided to isolate NSCs, for example, the serial passage and the gene transduction. Most of the hotspots at home and abroad are on the modulation of NSC transplantation in vivo, to make it proliferate and differentiate in hand. Most findings are achieved through experiments on rodents, no matter in vitro or vivo, which indicate that the proliferation and differentiation of NSCs can be affected by a variety of biological factors and drugs. Even more, the effects are multiple according to the factors and drugs of different kinds and the same kind of different concentrations, even the same factor would have different roles in different process of the culture of NSCs. The survival of NSCs during transplantation can also be affected by local microenvironment. Neither the NSC endogenous nor exogenous treatment is efficient. Furthermore, the body also rejects the exogenous NSCs. Taken together, it is tough for us to conclude that a factor does have some effects on the NSCs. Moreover, there are still a series of key problems unveiled clinically, such as how to perfect transplantation and whether to choose exogenous or endogenous NSCa for transplantation.

The paper analyzes the current research on ontology related to biomedicine based on literature review through investiga-tions on related literatures. Seven hot points are elaborates by co - word analysis and cluster analysis, including the conduction of gene expression, protein - related research, development of ontology - related system and software, related research on gene and chromo-some, subject heading research related ontology, methodology research on computational biology and genomics, gene expression re-search.

In cardiomyocytes,sodium-calcium exchanger(NCX) is regarded to play an important role in the regulation of intracellular Ca~(2+) concentration.During the cardiac ischemia/reperfusion or cardenolide intoxication,the inflow Ca~(2+) through NCX reverse mode induce calcium overload and arrhythmia.Recently,the benzyloxyphenyl derivatives have been developed as selective NCX inhibitors,which may have therapeutic potential as a new remedy for arrhythmias.

Alzheimers disease(AD) is one of dementia diseases in the world. There are two main pathological hallmarkers in AD patients, one is ?-amyloid peptide, the other is neurofibrillary tangles. This paper reviews researches on targets for drug discovery for Alzheimers disease that had been supported by the National Nature Science Foundation of China in recent ten years.
