Objective To explore the role of p170, MRP, bcl-2 in clinical drug- resistance and their correlation. Methods There are 44 acute leukemia(AL) patients, among them ANLL is 29, ALL is 15.The expression of p170, MRP, bcl-2 were detected. At last, the patients were divided into two groups: CR and NR according to efficacy after two periods standard chemotherapy. Results Overexpression of p170, MRP,bcl-2 were found in AL (P ＜0.05). The expression of p170 and MRP were lower in CR group than that in NR groups in AML and ALL; there were 22 of 24 patients expressed one or two proteins in NR groups and the expression of p170 in patients was concordant with that of MRP to certain extent (P ＜0.01). The overexpression of bcl-2 was related with the worse prognosis. The expression of bcl-2 was lower significantly in CR group than in CR and NR (P＜0.05). Conclusion p170, bcl-2, MRP are all associated with clinical MDR. High expression of these proteins is an unfavorable factor to prognosis. The expression of MRP and p170 showed coincidence, but showed no significance with expression of bcl-2 in untreated patients, it indicated that the drug-resistance mediated by p170 was different from bcl-2.

Objective To explore the anxious condition and the influencing factors of chronic hepatitis B patients, and to take appropriate care measures. Methods Self-designed questionnaire for general information of patients, a comprehensive Zung self-rating depression scale(SDS)and Zung self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)were used to investigate 100 patients with chronic hepatitis B patients(the study group), and the results were compared with 80 normal persons(the control group). Results The SDS and SAS score of the study group was significantly higher than the control group. The negative emotion factors of the study group included social context, family, education, self- respect. Conclusions Patients with chronic hepatitis B has obvious negative mood, and are influenced by many kinds of factors. Strengthening the comprehensive psychological intervention can improve the negative emotional state, and promote rehabilitation of patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of internal plating with high and low moduli of elasticity on the stress and its distribution on the femoral shaft fracture. Methods A femur from a normal Chinese adult male was scanned by 64-detector row helical CT at 0. 5 mm interval. The CT images were used to establish a finite element model of the femur by software. The mid-femoral fracture was simulated in the model and fixated by eight-hole plates of Ti-6Al-4V (high modulus group, E = 110 GPa) and of Ti2448 (low modulus group, E = 30 GPa). When the femur was in axial compression, flexion and torsion loads, the stress and its distribution on the bone fracture site were analyzed to compare the biomechanics of the plates with high and low moduli. Results Under axial compression load, the contact stress between fracture ends in the low modulus group was larger than that in the high modulus group, while the max stress at the hole (11.47MPa) was smaller than that in the high modulus group (13.89 MPa) . Under four-point bending load, the contact stress in the low modulus group was still larger, while the bending movement was smaller. Under the torsion load, stress on the femur was well-distributed in both groups, but the max stress at the hole in the low modulus group (11.47 MPa) was smaller than that in the high modulus group (31.24 MPa). Conclusions Under internal fixation by plates of low modulus, the stress stimulus at the fracture site may be increased,while the stress concentrated at the hole may be decreased. The stress shielding of the low modulus plate may also be modified.
