Based on fairly systematic and complete information networks, the software Multimedia Teaching and Clinical Practice of Hospital Infection Control was developed. By adopting information driven network and digital hospital infection management, traditional ideological concepts, operational methods and modes of training were transcended. As a result, ways of communication became more flexible, intermediate links were reduced, and the efficiency of management was enhanced.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced chemoresistance to cisplatin in gastric cancer cells. Methods:ER stress models were established in both BGC823 and SGC7901 gastric cancer cells. The expression of GRP78, an ER stress marker, was examined by Western blot analysis. Moreover, whether ER stress can decrease the sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to cisplatin and activate P38 was explored by flow cytometry and Western blot analysis, respectively. Whether ER stress-induced chemoresistance to cisplatin can be abrogated by blocking P38 activity in gastric cancer was also elucidated using flow cytometry. Results:GRP78 protein expression markedly increased after treating BGC823 and SGC7901 gastric cancer cells with tunica-mycin (TM) or thapsigargin (TG) for 8, 16, and 24 h (P<0.05), compared with that in the group treated for 0 h. The apoptotic rates of TM-(or TG)-, cisplatin-, and TM (or TG) plus cisplatin-treated groups significantly increased (P<0.05) in both BGC823 and SGC7901 gastric cancer cells compared with the rate in the control group. The apoptotic rate of TM (or TG) plus cisplatin-treated group signifi-cantly decreased (P<0.05) in both BGC823 and SGC7901 gastric cancer cells compared with that of the cisplatin-treated group. Com-pared with the group treated for 0 h, phospho-P38 expression markedly increased after treating BGC823 and SGC7901 gastric cancer cells with TM (or TG) for 8, 16, and 24 h (P<0.05). No difference in P38 protein expression was observed between each group in both BGC823 and SGC7901 gastric cancer cells (P>0.05). Both P38 inhibitors, either SB203580 or PD169316, can inhibit the activation of P38. The inhibition of P38 activity can overcome ER stress-induced chemoresistance to cisplatin in gastric cancer cells (P<0.05). Con-clusion:ER stress can trigger the chemoresistance to cisplatin by activating P38 in gastric cancer cells.

Objective To study the thyroid hormone receptor β(TRβ)gene mutation types and characteristics in children with congenital hypothyroidism(CH)and thyroid dysgenesis(TD)from Shandong Province,and to provide theoretical basis for gene diagnosis and prenatal diagnosis. Methods Sixty cases of TD patients of which genomic DNA were isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes were selected by neonatal screening system in Shandong Province. The exon 6 to 12 of TRβ gene were amplified with 8 pairs of sequence specific primers using PCR and the first generation of sequencing method(Sanger method)to detect mutation. The sequencing results were compared with the TRβ gene reference sequence[National Center for Biotechnology Information(NCBI)Reference Sequence:NC 000003. 12]to see whether there was a mutation. Results Analysis of TRβ in 60 cases of CH patients with TD revealed no mutation was demonstrated in exons 6 - 12,but 2 single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)( rs 3752874,c. 735C ﹥ T;rs79220627, c. 162G ﹥ A)were detected. Through the analysis,the 2 SNP were all synonymous mutations(Phe→Phe;Ser→Ser), without the change of the amino acids. Conclusions TRβ mutation rate is very low,which may not be the main mutation type in CH patients with TD in Shandong Province.

Purpose Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is difficult to diagnose its nature before surgery, thus results in misdiagnosis. This paper aims to determine the best diagnostic cutoff value using anteroposterior and transverse diameter ratio (A/L) and longitudinal and transverse diameter ration (L/T) in PTMC. Materials and Methods The CT data of 154 pathology proven benign and malignant thyroid nodules ≤ 1.0 cm in diameter in 78 cases were reviewed, including 75 PTMC in 47 patients and 79 benign nodule in 31 patients. The anteroposterior and transverse diameter ratio (A/T) on axial view, A/L on sagittal view, and L/T on coronal view were measured and calculated. A non-parametric method was used to draw the receiver operating curve of A/T, A/L and L/T. The mean and standard deviation of CT diameters in benign and malignant nodules were calculated. The area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were determined. CT manifestations of small benign and malignant thyroid nodules were also analyzed. Results The A/T and A/L ratio were significantly larger for PTMC than benign nodules (P<0.01), while L/T diameters were significantly smaller than the benign nodules (P<0.01). The area under ROC was 0.8841, 0.7676 and 0.4052 for A/T, A/L and L/T respectively. The best diagnostic cutoff value of A/T and A/L were 1.05 and 1.0. With A/T ≥ 1.05, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 88.00%, 84.81%, 86.36%, 84.62% and 88.12%, respectively. With A/L ≥ 1.0, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive values were 66.67%, 82.28%, 74.68%, 78.13% and 72.22%, respectively. CT characteristics of PTMC included superficial location, oval low density, blurry boundary, microcalcification and progressive enhancement with accuracy of 71.43%, 50.00%, 79.22%, 68.83% and 90.91%, respectively. Conclusion The cutoff values of A/T ≥ 1.05 and A/L ≥ 1.0 can be used to diagnose PTMC with high accuracy.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the mass scores of naringin and neohesperidin in Fructus aurantii and Citrus chang-shan-huyou with their processed products and evaluate the quality of Fructus aurantii and Citrus changshan-huyou with their pro-cessed products. METHODS:According to the requirements of Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2010 edition)and Zhejiang Province Tradi-tional Chinese Medicine Preparation Standards (2005 edition),the moisture and ash of F. aurantii and C. changshan-huyou with their processed products were detected. And the contents of naringin and neohesperidin were determined. The ZORBAX SB-C18 column was used with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-water(20∶80,V/V)at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The detection wave-length was set at 283 nm,and the column temperature was 40℃.The samples size was 10μl. RESULTS:The moisture of F. au-rantii and C. changshan-huyou was decreased after processing with no obvious change for ash. The contents of naringin and neohes-peridin were decreased,significantly for F. aurantii,and all consistent with the requirements of Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2010 edi-tion)except F. aurantii. The linear range was 0.028 45-0.284 5μg(r=0.999 7)for naringin and 0.085 9-0.858 6μg(r=0.999 6)for neohesperidin;the RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were no more than 1.36% and the average recovery was re-spectively 96.45%-100.43%(RSD=1.45%,n=6) and 98.36%-102.00%(RSD=1.26%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant difference in the inspection and determination re-sults in F. aurantii and C. changshan-huyou. It is suggested to adjust the limitation of content determination in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2010 edition)and processed standards.

Objective To analyze the differences in the initial stability of an acetabular cup with a Voronoi polyhedral porous structure and a solid acetabular cup and to explore the impact of the Voronoi polyhedral porous layer on the initial stability of the acetabular cup,as well as its role in preventing loosening and dislocation.Methods Voronoi polyhedral porous scaffold structures with 60％and 70％porosities were designed using the Grasshopper software.Specimens of porous acetabular cups with 60％and 70％porosities and solid acetabular cups were manufactured using selective laser melting technology.Lever tests on the acetabular cups were conducted using polyurethane block models under identical conditions,and the maximum lever-out moment,angular displacement,and interface stiffness of the three groups of specimens were analyzed and compared.Results Under the condition of no significant differences in the compression force,for porous acetabular cups with porosities of 60％and 70％,the maximum lever-out moment increased by 278.82％and 320.56％,the angular displacement increased by 194.04％and 269.23％,respectively,and the interface stiffness increased by 18.58％and 7.88％,respectively,compared with that of solid acetabular cups.After the lever-out tests were completed,significant wear was observed within the polyurethane block hemisphere cavity using the porous acetabular cups.Conclusions The initial stability indicators of acetabular cups with a Voronoi polyhedral porous structure were higher than those of solid acetabular cups,indicating that the Voronoi polyhedral porous layer can enhance the initial stability of the acetabular cup.These results provide a reference for designing and selecting acetabular components.
