0.05).The gene frequencies of ACG-T235M and ACE-DD plus AGT-TT were significantly higher in the patients with CAD than in the controls respectively(all P

Background and Purpose:Kaposi's sarcoma(KS) cases occurring in renal allograph recipients was considered to be due to long-term immunosuppressive therapy.But the exact carcinogenetic process has not been elucidated so far.The lesions could not be distinguished from other KS types by histopathological study.Endemic KS cases seemed to be more common in Xinjiang,especially in the Uygur ethnic group,and their relation to other types of KS was investigated in three cases by histopathology and immunohistochemistry for the present study.Methods:Biopsy specimens from three cases of renal tronsplantation related KS,including two Uygur and one Han patients,were obtained from this hospital(No.474 hospital of PLA).Formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded blocks were cut for routine HE and immunohistochemical staining to study respectively.Monoantibodies of CD34,Ⅷ-factor,Vimentin,actin and FN were detected by S-P techniques for immunohistochemistry.Results:Histopathologically,the typical histology of traditional KS was found in almost all the specimens of the three patients.In the early stage of the disease,there are only a few vessel fissures with irregular dilation and clustering obese(epithelioid)cells.In the middle stage,the changes are wider in scope with proliferation of spindle cells,in the form of beams and weaves.The proliferating vessels are dilated and hyperemic around the lesion.In the late stage,the spindle cells proliferation are markedly atypical,and karyokinesis is increased.Immunohistochemistry showed CD34 to be more strongly positive,Ⅷ-Factor(+),Vimentin(+) showed a weak reation;while actin(-),FN(-) were negative.Conclusions:Renal transplantation related KS is not essentially different from other types of KS both in histopathohogy and immunohistochemical characters which may reflect that they have a similar etiopathogenetic procession.However,the distinctive distribution of morbidity among different ethnic groups or districts strongly suggested that the genetic background plays a critical role on KS carcinogenesis.

Objective To explore the impacts of magnetic fields of different intensities on the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdchvde (MDA) levels in rat pancreatic islet cells under normal and hypoxic conditions.Methods Rat pancreatic islet cells were culured,and after 3 days were subjected to a magnetic field of either 44.8 mT,90.6 mT or 182.1 mT under either normal or hypoxic conditions.Control cells received no magnetic field exposure,SOD activity and MDA level were measured after 72 hr.Results The cultured cells grew linearly with optical density (OD) of 0.067 ± 0.021 after 2 days and 0.449 ± 0.113 afier 5 days.SOD activity was significantly lower in the three magnetic field intervention groups than in the control group.Under hypoxic culture conditions,in all the magnetic field intervention groups SOD activity increased at first and then deereased.Under normal culture conditions,MDA content was significantly higher in the 182.1 mT group than in the control group.In the other two groups it was significantly lower.Conclusion Magnetic field exposure can cause oxidative damage to pancreatic islet cells,at least rat cells in culture.Under hypoxic culture conditions a magnetic field can inhibit such damage.

Objective To investigate the impact and significance of the vagus nerve intervention on the atrial electrical emodeling.Methods 30 mongrel dogs were given metoprolol in order to eliminate the effects of sympathetic nerve on atrial electrical remodeling;observe the atrial effective refractory period (ERP) and atrial fibrillation susceptible window(VW) in the high right atrial(SA) and coronary sinus (CS) by the vagus nerve stimulation(VS) or vagus nerve stimulation(Non-VS) before and after using atropine and after atrial electrical remodeling was observed.Results Before using vagus nerve blocking agents atropine,ERP shortened significantly [(54.83 ± 46.23) ms] and VW increased significantly [(19.86±13.23) ms] after VS,this time with atrial fibrillation-prone ; After using atropine,ERP increased significantly [(112.33 ± 9.63) ms] under VS,did not induce atrial fibrillation; After atrial electrical remodeling,the value of ERP was no significant difference under basis and VS (t =2.116,0.853,all P ＞0.05).Conclusion VS can increase the atrial electrical remodeling,an increase of atrial fibrillation susceptibility;vagus nerve block can reduce atrial electrical remodeling and atrial fibrillation susceptibility decreased.

Objective To investigate the current status about nursing undergraduate students' knowledge,attitude and practice (KAP)regarding nosocomial infection.Methods The self-administered questionnaires were employed to survey 108 undergraduate nursing students on the basis of a simple random sampling method.Results In the knowledge dimension,the nursing students earned 78.3％ of accuracy rate when responding to the questionnaires.The students also demonstrated positive attitudes towards nosocomial infection and occupational safety,particularly the female students.In terms of practice,the students performed relatively poor as 36.1％ of the students were unclear about the classification of medical garbage and 22.2％ of the students used their non-clean hands to touch their eye-glasses.Conclusions The undergraduate nursing students have demonstrated adequate knowledge and proper attitude towards nosocomial infection and occupational safety,however,some behaviors need to be changed.Nursing schools and hospitals should be aware of these findings and provide more training programs regarding nosocomial infection and occupational safety so that they can help students formulate good habits to prevent and control nosocomial infection.

Objective To explore the effect classroom teaching quality evaluation on the improve-ment of teaching quality. Methods In-service teachers offering classes to undergraduates majoring in clinical medicine during the period of 2010 to 2011 in Tangshan Clinical Hospital of Hebei Medical University were enrolled as research objectives. Totally 128 teachers(majored in 16 disciplines), screened out from the enrolled teachers, met the criteria and passed through the evaluation in terms of class quality of lessons. They were arranged in descending order and the top 15%were grouped as the preeminent group while the 15%at the bottom were classified as standard group and the rest 70%as good group. Descriptive analysis was made to appraise results from four respects:major and discipline, records of formal school-ing, professional ranks and titles and length of teaching experience. Results Based on the analysis of teaching situation in major disciplines, the top 3 disciplines possessing the largest proportion of preemi-nent teachers were neurology ( 50%) , otolaryngology-head and neck surgery ( 40%) and surgery (20.6%). When it comes to the analysis of formal schooling records of teachers , there is no distinct dis-crepancy in rate of standard reaching between teachers with postgraduate degree and teachers with gradu-ate degree. However, rate of standard reaching was slightly higher in teachers with other degrees than teaching with undergraduate degree or above. In the analysis of professional ranks and titles, the proportion was 94.6%in teachers with senior professional title(associated senior professional title and senior profes-sional title) and the teachers with medium grade professional title only occupied a proportion of 5.4%. In the dimension of teaching years, rate of outstanding and good teachers was relatively high in teachers with 8 teaching years and teacher with less than 3 teaching years, whereas the outstanding rate was low and rate of standard reaching was high in teachers with the 3-4 teaching years. Conclusions Measures to enhance the quality of teaching can be found out according to the analysis of influencing factors of teaching quality evaluation.

Objective To investigate the reliability and sensitivity of a three dimensional motion analysis system by using the segmental method.Methods Ten healthy young men participated in this study.They were asked to stand with one leg and with their eyes open and closed,respectively,each lasted for 30 seconds and was re- peated twice.According to the 12-segment rigid body model of the human body,twenty-one infrared light emitting di- ode(1RED)markers were placed over the bony prominences on the proximal and distal ends of each segment,the motion track of the IRED markers was recorded by the three dimensional motion analysis system.The mean sway am- plitude( MSA )and the sway path(SP)of the center of gravity(COG)were calculated.Correlation analysis was used to determine the reliability between the two repetitions.Paired sample t-test was used to determine the sensitivity be- tween the eyes open and closed conditions.Results The correlation coefficients of the MSA of the COG in the eyes open and closed conditions were 0.623 and 0.018,respectively,and the correlation coefficients of the SP of the COG were 0.936 and 0.654,respectively.It was also shown that significant differences existed among the three directions of the MSA of the COG and the SP of the COG.Conclusion Besides the weak reliability of the MSA of COG in the eyes closed condition,the high reliability and sensitivity of the MSA and SP of the COG are found.The segmental method can be used in the scientific study of human balance control.

Objective To investigate the effects of up?regulated miR?206/miR?1 on the proliferation of breast cancer stem cells and the effect mech?anism. Methods Breast cancer stem cells(BCSCs)were isolated from breast cancer cell line MCF?7 by fluorescence?activated cell sorting. Cells in the experiment were divided into the blank control group,the negative control group,the miR?206 group and the miR?1 group. The BCSCs were transfected by negative control mimic,hsa?miR?206mimic and hsa?miR?1mimic in all groups except the blank control group. MiR?206and miR?1 expression levels as well as the transcription factor EVI?1 gene were detected by real time PCR. The expression levels of the transcription factor EVI?1 protein were detected by Western blot. MTT method was used to detect the effects of miR?206 and miR?1 on the proliferation of BCSCs. Results The BCSCs(CD44+/CD24-/low cells)isolated from MCF?7 cell lines were successfully cultured in serum?free medium for subsequent studies. After transfection of hsa?miR?206mimic and hsa?miR?1mimic for 48 hours,miR?206and miR?1relative expression levels increased. EVI?1mRNA ex?pression levels significantly decreased. The results of Western blot and MTT showed that up?regulated expression levels of miR?206 and miR?1 could significantly reduce the expression of EVI?1 protein and inhibited the proliferation of BCSCs. The differences in levels of miR?206,miR?1 and EVI?1 protein were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Up?regulated miR?206 and miR?1 expression can inhibit the proliferation ability of BCSCs,which may be related to the down?regulation of EVI?1.

Objective To explore the value of dynamic monitoring of the neutrophils/lymphocyte ratio ( NLR ) in peripheral blood for the prognosis of patients with bloodstream infection ( BSI ). Methods A retrospective study was conducted. 205 patients who were≥18 years old, their length of hospital stay>24 hours, and they were treated in the China-Japanese Friendship Hospital from January 2013 to October 2014 were enrolled. According to the 28-day survival, the patients were divided into survival group ( n=160 ) and death group ( n=45 ). The white blood cell ( WBC ), neutrophils count ( NEU ), neutrophils ratio ( Neut%), lymphocyte count ( LYM ), lymphocyte ratio ( Lym%), and NLR in peripheral blood were recorded at 1, 3, 7 days after admission. Receiver-operating characteristic curve ( ROC ) was plotted for evaluating the value of these factors on the 28-day prognosis, and logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the risk factors for predicting the outcome. Results ①On the 1st day, WBC, NEU, Neut%, NLR, and procalcitonin ( PCT ) in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group [ WBC (×109/L ):15.28±8.23 vs. 11.58±6.55, NEU (×109/L ):13.34±7.53 vs. 10.03±5.31, Neut%:0.886±0.076 vs. 0.845±0.102, NLR:21.20 ( 13.10, 28.80 ) vs. 12.08 ( 6.81, 20.47 ), PCT (μg/L ):3.13 ( 0.85, 10.12 ) vs. 1.34 ( 0.36, 5.81 ), P<0.05 or P<0.01 ], while hemoglobin ( Hb ), platelet count ( PLT ), albumin ( ALB ) content were significantly lower than those of the survival group [ Hb ( g/L ):86.09±19.83 vs. 107.89±22.82, PLT (×109/L ):157.51±117.81 vs. 195.44±97.28, ALB ( g/L ):24.11±6.94 vs. 31.99±6.89, P<0.05 or P<0.01 ]. On the 3rd day and 7th day, WBC, NEU and NLR in the death group were significantly higher than those of the survival group [ WBC (×109/L ):16.61±10.25 vs. 8.91±4.93, 16.05±9.46 vs. 8.79±4.45; NEU (×109/L ): 14.15±9.98 vs. 6.97±4.64, 14.36±9.03 vs. 6.59±4.07; NLR: 24.13 ( 8.49, 38.26 ) vs. 5.52 ( 3.58, 8.87 ), 17.74 ( 10.74, 32.85 ) vs. 4.35 ( 2.78, 7.27 ), all P<0.01 ], and the LYM and Lym%were significantly lower than those in the survival group [ LYM (×109/L ):0.61 ( 0.38, 1.04 ) vs. 1.05 ( 0.78, 1.43 ), 0.69 ( 0.35, 0.92 ) vs. 1.37 ( 0.93, 1.76 );Lym%:0.039 ( 0.024, 0.101 ) vs. 0.135 ( 0.094, 0.186 ), 0.056 ( 0.033, 0.082 ) vs. 0.170 ( 0.108, 0.237 ), all P<0.01 ].②It was shown by ROC curve that the maximum area under the ROC curve ( AUC ) of WBC, NEU, Neut%, LYM, Lym%, and NLR about prognosis of BSI were observed on 7 days ( 0.777, 0.819, 0.905, 0.755, 0.880, 0.887 ). Based on Neut%>0.855 on the 7th day as a predictor of cut-off value of death in 28 days, the sensitivity was 78.8%, specificity 89.1%, respectively. When Lym%<0.088 on the 7th day as a predictor of cut-off value of death on 28 days, the sensitivity was 89.5%, and specificity was 83.9%. When NLR>10.34 on the 7th day as a predictor of cut-off value of death in 28 days, the sensitivity was 81.8%, and specificity was 91.0%.③Survival analysis showed that the 28-day survival rate in the patients with 7-day NLR<10.34 was significantly higher than that in those with 7-day NLR>10.34 ( 95.0%vs. 34.1%,χ2=82.650, P=0.000 ).④It was shown by multi-factor logistic regression analysis that the levels of 1-day Hb and 7-day NLR were the independent prognostic predictors of 28-day mortality [ Hb: odds ratio ( OR ) = 0.946, 95% confidence interval ( 95%CI ) = 0.913-0.981, P = 0.003; 7-day NLR:OR=34.941, 95%CI=8.728-139.884, P=0.000 ]. Conclusions The trend of changes in NEU, LYM and NLR as shown by repeated routine blood examinations contributes to prediction of the outcome of patients with BSI. The levels of 1-day Hb and 7-day NLR are the independent prognostic predictors for 28-day mortality.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect and cost of Multidimensional iron oral liquid and Polysaccharide iron com-plex capsules in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy. METHODS:By retrospective study,80 cases of iron de-ficiency anemia during pregnancy were divided into control group and trial group in accordance to different therapy plans,with 40 cases in each group. Control group was given Multidimensional iron oral liquid orally,10 ml each time,bid,after breakfast and supper,for consecutive 4 weeks;trial group was given Polysaccharide iron complex capsules orally,0.30 g each time,qd,for con-secutive 4 weeks. Clinical efficacy,erythrocyte related lab indexes,satisfactory rate and ADR were compared between 2 groups, and cost-effectiveness analysis was adopted for economic evaluation. RESULTS:The total effective rate of experimental group was 95.0%,which was higher than 85.0% of control group,but without statistical significance(P>0.05);hemoglobin level,erythro-cyte count and average volume of erythrocyte of trial group were significantly higher or more than control group,and satisfactory rate(95.0% vs. 65.0%)were significantly higher than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05);no obvious ADR was found in 2 groups. Total cost of trial group and control group were 243.60 and 166.32 yuan,and cost-effective ratio was 2.56 and 1.96;incremental cost-effective ratio was 7.73. Results of sensitivity analysis were same to the result. CONCLUSIONS:Both Multi-dimensional iron oral liquid and Polysaccharide iron complex capsules can improve anemia in patients with iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy. Polysaccharide iron complex capsules show better therapeutic efficacy and satisfactory rate,but it is relatively ex-pensive. Drugs should be selected according to economic situation.
