As a member of regenerating islet-derived family,regenerating islet-derived type Ⅳ(RegⅣ)is involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. RegⅣ is closely related to the occurrence and develop-ment of tumor,tumor cell proliferation and invasion and anti-apoptosis,and it may be a potential molecular tar-get of targeting therapy in cancer.

Objective To compare magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) characteristics and changes before and after 5-Fu interventional thermochemotherapy (ITC) as well as to analyze the correlation of Cho/Lip and apoptosis index (AI) in hepatic VX2 carcinoma animal model.Methods 20 rabbit models of hepatic VX2 carcinoma were implanted successfully.Ten days later,as tumor diameter≥ 10 mm,routine scan and 1H-MRS were performed before one day and after 14 days on all of rabbits by Philips 1.5T MR scanner.The changes of Cho peak,Lip peak and the ratio of Cho/Lip before and after the treatment were analyzed.Specimens of AI were examined and compared with the ratio of Cho/Lip.Results The Cho peak and Lip peak were increased before ITC.After ITC,the Cho peak and the ratio of Cho/Lip decreased than before.The Lip peak was further increased than that of before.AI was correlated negatively with the ratio of Cho/Lip (r =-0.56,P =0.02).Conclusions The metabolites of different ROI are matched with the levels and scopes of AI.1H-MRS can be used to evaluate tumor cell apoptosis and energy metabolism changes of the rabbit models of hepatic VX2 carcinoma with the treatment.

Objective To investigate the nursing points of the vacuum sealing drainage technology in children with refractory soft tissue infection in the limb.Methods A total of 9 children with refractory soft tissue infection in the limb were treated with vacuum sealing drainage technology from December 2010 to October 2012.Results All children who underwent vacuum sealing drainage technology were successful,among which 7 cases underwent continuous vacuum sealing drainage for 7 days and 2 cases replaced VSD material after continuous vacuum sealing drainage for 10 days and all wound with skin graft healed,without any complication.Conclusions Vacuum sealing drainage can remove thoroughly necrotic tissue of the wound and promote wound healing,the key points of nursing are to keep drainage tube unobstructed,adjust appropriate negative pressure and give close observation.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the outcomes and toxicities of elderly nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with conventional radiotherapy alone.MethodsFrom January 1995 to December 1998,95 newly diagnosed nasopharyngeai carcinoma with age ≥65 years treated in our hospital.The clinical data were analyzed retrospectively.Kaplan-Meier method was used for analysis of local-regional control survival and distant metastasis-free survival. The Logrank test was used for univariate prognostic analysis and Cox regression was used for multivariable prognostic analysis.ResultsThe follow-up rate was 98％.The 3-,5- and 8-year local-regional control (LRC) and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) rates were 89％,87％,84％ and 85％,79％,79％,respectively. The most common acute toxicities were grade1-2 leukopenia (36％),skin reaction (64％) and mucositis (66％).The most frequent late toxicities were hearing impairment (8％),trismus ( 10％ ) and radiation-induced cranial neuropathy (5％).In univariate analysis,interruption of radiotherapy ( χ2 =7.45,P =0.006 ) and regional neck lymph nodes response (χ2 =4.17,P=0.041 ) was the prognostic factors for LRC,T stage (χ2 =4.16,P=0.032),N stage ( χ2 =4.66,P =0.031 ) and interruption of radiotherapy ( χ2 =9.42,P =0.002 ) was the prognostic factors for DMFS. In multivariable analysis,interruption of radiotherapy and the regional neck lymph nodes response were the prognostic factors for LRC (χ2=6.19,P=0.013 and χ2=12.16,P=0.002;respectively),N stage and radiotherapy interruption were prognostic factors for DMFS.(χ2=15.06,P =0.000 and χ2 =21.62,P =0.000 ; respectively ).ConclusionsConventional radiotherapy alone for elder NPC can produce satisfactory results with acceptable treatment-relative toxicities.Our experience showed that the early N stage,without radiotherapy interruption and good regional lymph nodes response had a good longterm prognosis.

Objective:To explore the influence of childhood psychological abuse, neglect and alexithymia on the boredom proneness of college students.Methods:The boredom proneness scale for college students(BPS), child psychological abuse and neglect scale (CPANS) and the Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-20) were used to investigate 1 557 college students, and SPSS 22.0 was used for descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis.Results:Childhood psychological abuse (26.540±8.985), neglect (32.665±10.651), recognition emotion in alexithymia dimension (19.359±4.835), description emotion dimension (14.173±3.001), extroverted thinking dimension in alexithymia (20.383±3.429) had positive correlation with the total score of boredom tendency (101.109±19.735) and the dimension of external stimulus (66.022±21.079)( r=0.160-0.559, all P<0.01). And there were negative correlations with the internal stimulus dimension (35.132±8.207)( r=-0.302--0.104, all P<0.01). The hierarchical regression analysis showed that after controlling the effects of gender and age, psychological abuse and neglect were the influencing factors of boredom proneness, internal stimulus and external stimulus, which explained 14.3%, 5.1% and 18.2% of the total variation (△ F=130.561, 41.968, 172.711, all P<0.01). Recognition of emotions, description of emotions and extroverted thinking in alexithymia were the influencing factors of boredom proneness, internal stimulus and external stimulus, which explained 17.5%, 9.9% and 25.5% of the total variation (△ F=134.274, 60.696, 234.383, all P<0.01). Conclusion:Childhood psychological abuse, neglect and alexithymia have significant effect on boredom proneness of college students, and mainly on external stimuli of boredom proneness. Among them, alexithymia has the greatest influence and the highest explanatory power.

Aim To obtain two-dimensional gel electrophoresis maps of the prefrontal cortex(PFC)proteins of normal and morphine-addicted rats for identifying the diferentially expressed proteins in the addicted rats.Methods Rat models of morphine addiction were established.The proteins in the PFC underwent two-dimensiona1 gel electrophoresis with immobiline pH gradient isoelectric focusing as the first and vertica1 SDS-PAGE as the second dimension.Analysis of 2-DE maps was used to determine differential expressions of proteins between the two groups by ImageMaster 2D Platinum v5.0,and four protein spots expressed differently were picked up for further identification by MALDI-TOF-MS.Results Matched and compared with those of control group,87 protein spots had been determined with differently expressive levels in morphine addiction group.By MALDI-TOF-MS,two protein spots of them had been identified as Snap25 Isoform ?-Snap 25 of Synaptosomal-associated protein 25 and Actb Actin,cytoplasmic 1.Conclusions There is obvious difference in expressive proteomes in PFC between normal and morphine-addicted rats. The functions of those identified proteins are involved in cell growth,apoptosis,differentiation,signal transduction,axon growth and cellular energy metabolism,so proteomics can serve as a new approach in the study of morphine dependence to discover new therapeutic targets.

AIM: To further investigate preventive effects of Shenfu(SF) injection, a Chinese herb drug, on acute renal ischemic reperfusion injury (IRI). METHODS: After SF or normal saline was administered intravenously one time a day for four days, the renal ichemia-reperfusion(I-R) model was established by occlusion of right renal artery and vein for an hour and reperfusion for three hours after left nephroectomy. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), content of malondialdehyde(MDA) in serum and renal tissue, and content of nitric oxide (NO),concentrations of Na + and Ca 2+ , numbers of WBC adhesion in renal tissue were detected and light and electronic microscopy were used for the detection of the renal histological changes. RESULTS: SF lowered significantly MDA content in either renal tissues or serum , concentration of Na +, the number of WBC adhesion, and scores of tubules in renal tissue after renal I-R, and the SOD activity in renal tissues and serum and NO content in renal tissue were obviously increased by SF.In addition,renal histomorphological damage in either light or electronic microscope were lightened by SF. But Ca 2+ concentration in renal tissue appeared to be only mildly affected. CONCLUSION: The mechanisms that SF protects renal structure and function against acute renal IRI may be involved in increasing SOD activity,scavenging directly oxygen free redicals(OFR),raising NO content,inhibiting WBC adhesion and recruiment,preventing Na + influx to form Na + overload.

AIM: To determine the effect of Radix Angelicae Sinensis(RAS) on renal ischemia/reperfusion injury in rabbits and to explore its mechanism. METHODS: Twenty-five rabbits were divided randomly into the sham operated group(Control group), renal ischemia/reperfusion injury group(IR group) and RAS+IR group. At the time point of reperfusion 48 h after renal ischemia 1 h, the renal tissue were observed by electron-microscope and the contents of creatinine(Cr) in serum, tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?), interleukin-6(IL-6)and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) in the renal tissue were measured. RESULTS: A remarkably degenerative changes in renal tissue were showed under electronmicroscope in IR group , but the changes in RAS+IR group were slight . The contents of Cr, TNF-? and IL-6 in IR group were higher than those in Control group, these parameters in RAS+IR group were lower than those in IR group, the difference between these groups was significant ( P

Objective To investigate the relationship between bed rest time and development of prethrombotic state in the elderly patients with hip fracture.Methods One hundred and sixty-six patients who stayed in bed after hip fracture,aged ≥65 yr,were divided into 5 groups according to the bed rest time on admission to hospital:bed rest time ＜ 24 h (Ⅰ group,n =61),bed rest time 24-48 h (Ⅱ group,n =29),bed rest time 3-6days (Ⅲ group,n =29),bed rest time 7-14 days (Ⅳ group,n =34),and bed rest time ＞ 14 days (Ⅴ group,n =13).Venous blood samples were collected to measure the platelet count,coagulation function,and concentrations of plasma D-Dimer and serum α-granule membrane protein 140 (GMP-140).The development of abnormality in each index was recorded.The development of deep vein thrombosis in both lower extremities was diagnosed using color Doppler ultrasound in D-Dimer-positive patients.Results Compared with group Ⅰ,the abnormal rate of fibrinogen (Fib) and D-Dimer and serum GMP-140 concentrations were significantly increased in Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups,the abnormal rate of platelet count,Fib and D-Dimer and serum GMP-140 concentrations were increased in lⅣ group,and the abnormal rate of platelet count was increased,and no significant change was found in the serum GMP-140 concentrations and abnormal rate of Fib and D-Dimer in Ⅴ group.Compared with group Ⅱ,the serum GMP-140 concentrations were significantly increased in Ⅲ and Ⅳ groups,the abnormal rate of Fib and D-Dimer was increased in Ⅳ group,and no significant change was found in the abnormal rate of Fib and DDimer in Ⅲ group.The abnormal rate of platelet count was significantly lower in Ⅳ group than in Ⅲ group.Color Doppler Ultrasonography showed no sign of deep vein thrombosis.Conclusion For the elderly patients with hip fracture,the possibility of pre-thrombotic state developed is increased when the bed rest time is more than 24 h,and the patients were classified as high-risk patients when the bed rest time is more than 3 days.
