Background Quality of life(QOL) refers to the person's subjective appraisal of well-being,life satisfaction,health and functional performance. For those stroke patients who cannot finish the scale themselves,we can try the proxy measurement. However,until recently no QOL scale for proxies were induced to Chinese stroke patients. The goal of this research is to translate and test the SIS 3.0 for proxy,and differences between patient and proxy scores. To translate and test the SIS 3.0 for proxy, and analyzed differences between patient and proxy scores.Methods Ten pairs of patients and their proxies were involved in the primary test. Two hundreds and thirty-three pairs were involved in the formal test. We analyzed the validity, responsiveness, reliability and feasibility of the SIS 3.0 for proxy, as well as the validity in proxy assessment. Results The feasibility was sufficient. Both Split reliability and α coefficient were more than 0.8, demonstrating SIS a reliable instrument. SIS had a good content validity with correlation coefficient more than 0.6. Good criterion validity was established by comparing the scores on various domains to standardized measures with P=0.000. Construct validity was also good as indicated by factor analysis. Proxy scores were significantly different across OHS scales which showed domain responsiveness was good. Comparison of patient and proxy responses resulted in no significant difference. Conclusions SIS for proxy is satisfactory for chinese patients. It is feasible to use a proxy respondent to answer questions on the patient's behalf.

AIM To investigate the proliferation inhibition and inducing differentiation effect of diallyl disulfide (DADS) on human acute myeloid cell line HL 60. METHODS Inhibition of HL 60 cell proliferation was shown by MTT assay; cell differentiation was determined by morphologic observation,the ability of NBT reduction activity and flow cytometric detection. RESULTS DADS has significant anti proliferative effect on HL 60 cells in a concentration dependent manner. The reduction ability of NBT and cell surface differentiation antigens CD11b had significantly increased( P

Objective To investigate the correlation between the expression of EG-1 in breast cancer and the clinicopathological factors and prognosis of breast cancer.Methods EG-1 mRNA expression in 72 malignant and 18 benign breast tissues were evaluated by RT-PCR method,and its correlation with clinical characteristics and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results EG-1 expression level was higher in malignant tissue than in the corresponding benign breast tissue(71%vs.24%,P＜0.05).EG-1 expression was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and protein VEGF (P＜0.05)and was not significantly with age,menopause,tnmor size,grade,hormone status,protein Her2 and pS3.The metastastic rate and recurrence rate in EG-1 positive patients was higher than that in EG-1 negative patients.Multivariate Cox model showed that EG-1 positive was an independent factor affecting overall survival and disease free survival.Conclusions EG-1 expression was up-regulated in breast cancer and significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and protein VEGF.

Aim To investigate JAKs/STATs signal transduction change in HL-60 cells differentiation induced by diallyl disulfide(DADS)and molecular mechanism regulating the differentiation.Methods After incubation of HL-60 cells with DADS or AG490(50 ?mol?L -1),the cell differentiation indexes were observed by cytomorphology, NBT reduction ability assay,cell myeloid differentiation antigen CD11b by flow cytometry. Kinase activity of JAKs/STATs was tested by western-blotting and expressions of nucleus transcription genes stats,c-myc,c-fos,c-jun were detected by immumocyte chemistry method.Results Cell differentiation index changes indicated that HL-60 cells were induced differentiation toward granulocytic lineage by DADS, Western blot test demonstrated that constitive phosphorylation of Jak1,stat3 kinase was suppressed. Stat3,c-myc gene expression decreased and c-fos, c-jun gene expression increased in HL-60 cells treated with DADS through immunocyte chemistry.Conclusion Inhibition of phosphative Jak1, Stat3 was involved in HL-60 cells differentiation induced by DADS, its molecular mechanism might be related to modulation of gene expression associated proliferation and differentiation,and inhibition of DNA systhesis, induction differentiation.

AIM To construct differentiation subtractive cDNA library of human leukemia HL 60 cells induced by diallyl disfuld using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) technique and to clone differentiation associated genes in leukemia cells. METHODS Poly A + RNAs were isolated from HL 60 cells induced by dially disfuld and were reversely transcripted into double strand cDNAs (as tester). After the cDNAs were digested into short cDNAs with blunt ends, they were divided into two groups and were ligated to the special adaptor 1 and adaptor 2R, respectively. The tester cDNAs were then hybridized with driver cDNA from normal HL 60 cells and the products were amplified twice by nested PCR technique. The PCR products were ligated with pGEM T plasmid vectors and were transformed into E.coli JM109. The inserts of cDNAs were analyzed by restrictive enzyme EcoR I. RESULTS Subtractive cDNA library was constructed successfully and efficiently. Random analysis of 200 clones with enzyme restriction showed that about 84 5% clones contained 100～600 bp cDNA inserts. It can help clone novel genes associated with differentiation and explore the molecular mechanism of leukemia differentiation induced by diallyl disfuld. CONCLUSION DADS can induce human leukemia HL 60 cells differentiation, and suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) technique is an effective method to isolate those differentially expressed genes.

Objective To compare the difference in recurrence rates between the endovenous laser therapy(EVLT) combined with percutaneous continuous circumsature (PCCS) and simplex EVLT following the treatment of great saphanous vein incompetence through the introduction of propensity score matching (PSM).Methods T the baseline data of 170 patients diagnosed with great saphanous vein incompetence who were treated in Punan Hospital in Pudong New District of Shanghai from 2009 to 2014 were retrospectively analyzed,of which underwent EVLT were 87 cases as EVLT group and EVLT combined with PCCS were 83 cases as EVLT +PCCS group.The groups covariate were balanced based on the PSM function of SPSS software using 1 ∶ 1 nearest neighbor matching method.The recurrence rates of the two groups were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and the differences between the two groups were evaluated by Log-rank test.Results Sixty-seven pairs of patients were successfully matched.No significant difference between the two matched groups in the basic clinical features.Before PSM,the 1,2,and 3 year cummulative recurrence rates were 3.5％,5.4％ and 7.3％ in the EVLT group,and 0.9％,4.7％ and 4.7％ in the EVLT+PCCS group,respectively,there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups by Log-rank test (P =0.491).After PSM,the 1,2,and 3 year cummulative recurrence rates were 5.2％,5.2％ and 7.1％ in the EVLT group,and 0％,1.0％ and 1.0％ in the EVLT+PCCS group,there were statistically significant differences between the two groups (P =0.031).Conclusion The PSM methods can effectively balanced the covariates of groups in non-randomised study.EVLT combined with PCCS can effectively reduce the recurrence rate after the treatment of great saphanous vein incompetence.

Objective To assess the contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) characteristics of pleomorphic adenoma (PA) and carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA).Methods A retrospective analyse was made from the contrast-enhanced ultrasonic features of 42 PA and 8 CXPA.The features included tumor size,echotexture,boundary,shape and blood flow richness on conventional US imaging and rise time (RT),time to peak (TP),peak intensity(PI),time from peak to one half(HT),mean transit time (MTT),and area under the curve(AUC) on contrast-enhanced ultrasound.Results All of PA and CXPA were hypoechoic,but there was no difference between them in shape and blood flow richness (P ＞0.05).37.5％ CXPA has hetergeneous echotexture with the presence of anechoic area,but it appeared in only 4.8％ PA(P ＜0.05).The following findings were observed from a perfusion kinetics of CEUS in all of PA and CXPA:slow in,centripetal,heterogeneous enhancement,with no enhancement area.Well-defined margins were presented in 42 PA and in 7 CXPA(P ＜0.05).Their time-intensity curves showed RT,TP,HT and MTT in CXPA group were obviously higher than those in the PA group(P ＜0.05).However there was no statistical difference in PI and AUC between both groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Conventional US and CEUS perfusion patten provide limited diagnostic information for distinguishing PA from CXPA.CXPA could be diagnosed by ill defined margins,more internal anechoic area and poorly defined margins.But CEUS quantitative analysis can significantly promote the differentiation.

Objective To compare the effects of short- term high- intensity interval training (HIT) and moderate continuous training (MCT) on inflammatory mediators for healthy young males. Methods 19 healthy young male volunteers were randomized into HIT group (n=6), MCT group (n=7) and no training control (CON, n=6) group. The groups of HIT and MCT accepted treadmill exercise once per 2 days to 6 times (2 weeks), and the CON group did not accepted treadmill exercise. The levels of high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin (IL) -1α, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were detected 3 days before exercise, immediately after the first exercise, 3 days after the course. Results There was no difference among groups in the level of hs-CRP, IL-1α, IL-6 and TNF-α in all the time (P>0.05). The concentration of IL-1α increased in the MCT group after the first exercise (P<0.01), and also the concentration of IL-6 in the CON group after the course (P<0.05). Conclusion It needs further srudy for the significance of HIT and MCT in the levels of inflammatory media.
