Thirty-four patients with acne vulgaris were treated with pricking and ear-pressure. Acupoints were Baihui (GV 20), Dazhui (GV 14), Taodao (GV 13), Shenzhu (GV 12), Shendao (GV 11), Lingtai (GV 10), Feishu (BL 13), and Sanyinjiao (SP 6), for priking. Lung (MA-IC1), Stomach (MA-IC),Endocrine (MA-IC3), Subcortex (MA-AT1), EarShenmen (MA-TF1) and Cheek (MA-L) were applied for ear-pressure. After 4 courses' treatments, 33 cases obtained effectiveness and 1 case ineffectiveness.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique for the diagnosis of hematological disease brought about revolutionary progress. It has become indispensable and basic technology for genotyping of acute and chronic leukemia and diagnosis of myeloproliferative disorders, thalassemia, hemophilia and other genetic diseases. Based on the PCR technology, multiple nested-PCR, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (Q-PCR), denaturing high pressure liquid chromatography (DHPLC), capillary electrophoresis, the molecular hybridization and directly sequencing technique have been developed. The multip]e nested-PCR can be used to examine a variety of leukemia genes and confirm the type of leukemia. The application of Q-PCR has effectively solved the problem of pollution of the PCR and it can be used to monitor minimal residual disease of leukemia. Capillary electrophoresis is more suitable for gene fragment length change. DHPLC can be applied for high-throughput screening of gene mutation. Sequencing is a reliable method and it has been used for routine diagnosis.

Immunophenotyping with flow cytometry can clearly identify multiple myeloma cells and monitor minimal residual disease by using the characteristic of light chain restriction in plasma cells and some cell surface markers( eg CD138, CD38, CD56, CD117 ). This technology may provide important evidence in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma.

Application of imatinib has made a lot of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients longterm survival,but the CML BCR/ABL1 kinase domain mutations (KDM) will result in drug resistance of imatinib.There are many KDM types.The different types appear randomly.The leukemic clone with different KDM characteristics has a certain evolution.In the period of imatinib treatment,a higher degree of drug resistance mutations in cells likely to develop as the dominant clone.It is suggested that the treatment of imatinib-resistant CML in addition to efforts to develop next-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors outside,but also consider the use of traditional medicine to help cure.

With the fierce competition of higher education market,the public university and college face the pressure from mana-gement toward economic operation.This article tries to make some study on what the economic operation innovation of the public higher education institutions is,to make a synopsis analysis on disadvantageous factors and advantageous factors,and to put forward some suggestions on its promising system.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to compare the fracture resistance of teeth restored with different post and core systems by cyclic loading test and to predict long-term effects.

METHODSA total of 15 recently extracted mandibular premolars without crowns were endodontically treated. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups with five teeth in each group. Group A, teeth restored with cast metal post and core. Group B, teeth with fiber post and resin core. Group C, teeth with resin filling. All of the teeth were restored with full-cast metal crowns. The specimens were exposed to 300,000 cyclic loadings in a cyclic loading machine and 1,000 thermal cycles between 5 and 55 °C. All of the samples were loaded in AG-IS mechanical testing machine with a compressive load until fracture occurred. The fracture load and the fracture mode of each tooth were recorded.

RESULTSThe fracture resistance in group B and C were higher than that of the cast metal post and core restoration (P < 0.05). Repairable fractures were observed in group B and C, whereas unrestorable and catastrophic fractures were found in group A.

CONCLUSIONFiber post and resin filling is a good choice to restore endodontically treated teeth.

Objective To investigate the changes of the level of oxidative stress and cell apoptosis of secondary brain injury after traumatic brain injury,and the influence of brain-derived neutrophic factor on these parameters in rats,as well as its potential mechanisms.Methods A total 84 adult and healthy male rats was divided randomly into 2 groups:control (n =42) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) groups (n =42).The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) group was induced using improved Feeney method and was received abdominal injections of BDNF (0.5 μg/μl) immediately after injury,the control group were received abdominal injections with the same dose sodium chloride injection immediately after injury and repeat one time everyday until the rats was killed.Each group was divided into seven subgroups by sacrificed time after injury,those are 1 h,3 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,3 d,and7 d,each subgroup got6 rats.Each subgroup was randomly selected three rats after being killed.The water content,superoxide dismutase (SOD),malonic aldehyde (MDA),and glutathione (GSH) of rats were measured contusion peri tissues brain tissue.Specimens were taken from left three rats of subgroup,which was part of the brain tissue.The expression of NF-κB p65,around the brain tissue with immunohistochemical methods were detected.TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) method was used to observe the peri cell apoptosis after brain contusion.Results NF-κB p65 was expressed obviously around the lesion in 1h group,and strongly expressed in TBI-3 h-12 h,and reached a peak in 24 h after the injury,while NF-κB p65 expression reduced in TBI-3 d-7 d,and still in high expression.NF-κB p65 expression strongly correlated with the degree of cerebral edema (r =0.651,P ＜0.05).For two groups,NF-κB p65 expression strongly correlated with the level of MDA (r1 =0.947,P ＜0.01;r2 =0.961,P ＜0.01).Conclusions Changes of NF-κB protein expression after brain injury were involved in a series of pathological processes of secondary brain injury,such as oxidative stress,and apoptosis,brain-derived neutrophic factor is probably through inhibit oxidative stress levels,control apoptosis,prevent the development of vasogenic cerebral edema,and reduce or mitigate secondary brain injury.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs). MCL comprises distinct subtypes with different pathological characteristics and clinical features. However, MCL remains incurable by intensified first-line regimens con-taining cytarabine and involving consolidation with high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. Recently discovered somatic mutations and aberrant intracellular signaling pathways have been demonstrated to play an essential role in the pathogenesis of MCL. The related novel therapeutics, such as Btk inhibitors, PI3K inhibitors, and immune modulators, have exhibited promising ther-apeutic effects on untreated or even relapsed/refractory MCL. The development of an efficient combination therapy is urgently need-ed to improve the survival of MCL patients in the future.

Objective To investigate the effect of protamine(PS)coated polylactic acid(PLA)nanocapsule on the immune response of murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells(BMDCs).Methods PLA nanocapsules were prepared by W1/O/W2 method.Protamine was used to modify the surface of PLA nanocapsule that encapsulated ovalbumin(OVA),a model anti-gen.The prepared OVA/PLA/PS nanocapsules were used to stimulate BMDCs.Flow cytometry was used to analyze the ex-pression of surface molecules CD80,CD83,CD86,MHCⅠ,and MHC Ⅱ,and the uptake of nanocapsule.The levels of IL-12 p70 secreted by BMDCs were detected by ELISA.Results OVA/PLA/PS nanocapsules could significantly up-regulate the expres-sion of CD80,CD83,MHCⅠ,and MHC Ⅱ in BMDCs,and increase the secretion of IL-12 p70 by BMDCs.Furthermore,OVA/PLA/PS nanocapsules could enhance the uptake efficiency of OVA by BMDCs.Conclusion OVA/PLA/PS nanocapsule can en-hance the immune response of BMDCs,and may become a good drug delivery carrier.
