Objective To investigate whether gemcitabine (GEM) could enhance radiosensitivity of human non-small cell lung cancer cells and its related mechanism.Methods Clonogenic assay was used to analyze radiosensitivity enhancement by GEM on p53 mutant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line 973.Alterations of cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry.Results Mild radiosesitizing effect was observed when 10 nmol/L GEM was administrated before or after irradiation.Marked radiosesitizing effect was demonstrated when 100 nmol/L GEM was administrated before or after irradiation, with much stronger effect of pre-irradiation GEM treatment.Mutation of p53 gene affected cell cycle redistribution and cell apoptosis, but had no relationship with radiosensitivity enhancement of GEM.Conclusions 100 nmol/L GEM could significantly enhance radiosensitivity of human lung cancer cells.However, this effect may not be associated with p53 gene mutation, cell cycle redistribution or cell apoptosis.

We selected scores for histology and embryology,physiology,biochemistry,pathobiology,pharmacology,paediatrics,and medicine of the first-year(2004),second-year(2003),third-year(2002)students at a medical school as subjects to analyze construction validity using factor analysis.The common factors were selected if their cumulative value above 60%.The result showed that variance percentage explained by each factor was lower,and that the three level structure formed by recall,comprehend and application would not be explained ideally by these scores.The author considered that the examination items should be improved and it was limited for factor analysis method to apply to analyze medical examination items.

Objective To determine postoperative resting energy expenditure ( REE) in children with congenital heart disease ( CHD) requiring open heart surgery , to compare measured resting energy expenditure (MREE) with current predictive equations (PEE), and to investigate the possible influencing factors on the metabolic status of the postoperative CHD children .Methods From February 2015 to June 2015 , 150 ventila-ted children admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit after surgery for congenital heart disease in Shanghai Children's Medical Center were enrolled consecutively .Indirect calorimetry ( IC) measurements were performed using metabolic cart 4 hours after surgery .General clinical data were recorded .Results Totally 104 male and 46 female patients were enrolled, with a median age of 14 months (8.3-36.0 months).The non-protein re-spiratory quotient of patient was 0.79 ±0.20, MREE was (264.76 ±61.74) kJ/(kg· d), and PEE using Schofield equations was (278.51 ±93.42) kJ/(kg· d).Although there was no significant differences (P=0.096 ) between MREE and PEE , the agreement was poor between them ( R2 =0.119 ) .Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that MREE had significant positive correlation with risk adjustment in congenital heart surgery (RACHS-1) score (P=0.012) and negative correlation with age (P=0.010).Up to 97.33%of children (146/150) had lower energy intake compared with MREE on the 1st postoperative day .Conclu-sions MREE does not increase after surgery in CHD children;however , the substrate utilization is influenced . Factors influencing the postoperative REE include RACHS-1 score and age.The energy intake at 1st day after surgery is generally lower than REE in these children .

The two groups were compared in terms of comfort, nursing manpower, nursing stuff and security. Result The observation group was significantly superior to the control group in terms of comfort, nursing manpower, nursing stuff and security (P<0.05). Conclusions The newly-designed gowns for critical patients can improve the comfort degree and save nursing manpower and stuff. It allows convenience in treatment and nursing.

Objective:To explore the effect of Gubi Decoction on serum related inflammatory factors and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in osteoarthritis model rats. Methods:Seventy SPF rats were randomly divided into the blank group, sham operation group, Glucosamine sulfate group, and the low, medium and high dose Gubi Decoction groups. Except the blank group and sham operation group, knee osteoarthritis animal models were prepared by the modified Hulth method in each group. On the 28th day after successful model preparation, the high, medium and low dose Gubi Decoction groups were given Gubi Decoction 24, 12 and 6 g/kg by gavage respectively; glucosamine sulfate group was given glucosamine sulfate tablet suspension 3 g/L by gavage, once a day for 28 days. The levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in serum were detected by ELISA. The gene expressions of PI3K, Akt and mTOR in cartilage tissue were detected by Real-PCR. The protein expressions of PI3K, Akt, p-PI3K, p-Akt and mTOR were detected by Western blot. Results:Compared with the model group, the knee joint diameter[(11.17 ± 1.81) mm, (11.60 ± 1.38) mm, (10.80 ± 1.17) mm vs. (12.57 ± 0.98) mm] of the rats in the glucosamine sulfate group and the medium and high dose Gubi Decoction groups significantly decreased ( P<0.05). The content of TNF-α [(111.43 ± 21.98) ng/L, (53.42 ± 13.25) ng/L vs. (157.89 ± 23.60) ng/L], IL-1β [(67.50 ± 18.44) ng/L, (48.22 ± 9.63) ng/L vs. (96.11 ± 14.85) ng/L] in the medium and high dose Gubi Decoction groups significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and the expression of PI3K (1.87 ± 0.17, 1.24 ± 0.49 vs. 2.19 ± 0.47), Akt (1.50 ± 0.51, 1.10 ± 0.32 vs. 2.68 ± 0.63), and mTOR (1.32 ± 0.54, 1.10 ± 0.33 vs. 2.94 ± 0.55) mRNA in the medium and high dose Gubi Decoction groups significantly decreased ( P<0.05). The expression of PI3K, Akt, p-PI3K, p-Akt in the low, medium and high dose Gubi Decoction groups significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and the expression of mTOR in the medium dose Gubi Decoction group significantly decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Gubi Decoction can significantly reduce the level of inflammatory factors in the serum of osteoarthritis model rats, and its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects may be related to PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective To study the relationship between the valine/leucine247 (817G/T) polymorphism in exon 7 of apolipoprotein H (apoH) gene and the generation of antiphospholipid (APL)antibodies in patients of Han nationality with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Wenzhou region.Methods This study included 165 patients with SLE and 160 healthy controls of Han nationality in Wenzhou region.Venous blood samples were obtained from all of the subjects followed by the isolation of blood plasma,sera and white blood cells.PCR and DNA sequencing were carried out to assess the Leu/Va1247 polymorphism in apoH gene.Lupus anticoagulant (LAC) was detected by Russell viper venom time (RVVT) assay.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was carried out to quantify the serum levels of anti-β2-glycoprotein Ⅰ (GPI) antibodies and anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA).Chi-square test was carried out to compare the 817G/T polymorphism between the patients and controls,and Logistic regression analysis to evaluate the correlation between the 817G/T polymorphism and production of antiphospholipid antibodies.Results There were significant differences between the patients and controls in the genotype distribution and allele frequency at position 817 of apoH gene (both P ＜ 0.01).The TT,GT genotypes and T allele were more frequent,while GG genotype and G allele were less frequent,in the patients than in the controls.The GT genotype at position 817 was a risk factor for the production of LAC (P＜ 0.05,OR =2.33,95％CI =1.18-4.59),anti-β2GPl antibodies(P＜ 0.01,OR =5.92,95％CI =2.61-13.46) and ACA(P＜ 0.05,OR =2.52,95％CI =1.22-5.24),and the TT genotype was associated with an increased frequency of anti-β2GPI antibodies (P ＜ 0.01,OR =5.84,95％CI =1.69-20.20).Conclusions The 817G/T(Leu/Va1247) polymorphism in exon 7 of apoH gene is associated with the generation of APL antibodies in patients of Han nationality with SLE in Wenzhou region.The TT and GT genotypes at position 817 of apoH gene appear to be a risk factor for the production of APL antibodies.
