Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(5):336-338
Radl7 is an early replication checkpoint protein which sensing DNA lesions during DNA replication and halting progression ofreplication fork in cell cycle.It plays an important role in insuring the integrality and stability of DNA.Recent researches reveal that its functional defect and high expression may correlate with cell carcinogenesis and progression of carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression patterns of fibronectin (Fn) and its receptors-α5β1 and αVβ3 integrins and angiogenesis after cerebral ischemia in aged mice. Methods Both young (2 months) and aged (18 months) C57BL6 male mice were subject to middle cerebral artery occlusion. The brain endothelial cells (BECs) proliferation was assessed by using dual-immunofluorescent staning (IF) for Ki67 and CD31 and the vessel density was quantified by counting the number of CD31-positive vessels per field of view. The expression patterns of Fn,α5β1 and αVβ3 on blood vessels was assessed by using dual-IF for CD31/ɑ5,CD31/β3 and CD31/Fn. Results The number of CD31/Ki67 dual-positive cells in the penumbra at day 7 after cerebral ischemia of was significantly lower in the aged mice than in the young mice (4.7±0.8/field, P<0.05). The number of CD31-positive vessels in the penumbra at day 7 and 14 of was both significantly lower in aged mice than in the young mice (38.3±3.9/field, 45±4.4/field, both P<0.01). Furthermore, the expression of Fn, α5 and β3 on blood vessels in the penumbra at day 7 after cerebral ischemia was significantly lower in age mice than in the young mice (P<0.05). Conclusions The cerebral angiogenesis after ce?rebral ischemia is impaired in the aged stroked mice, which is associated with the low expression of fibronectin and its receptors-α5β1 andαVβ3 integrins on blood vessels.

Objective To compare the accuracy of auditory brain stem response (ABR) thresholds to tone burst and tone burst ipsilaterally masked by notched noise in estimating puretone thresholds of adults with normal hearing.To study characteristics of ABRs evoked by tone burst and tone burst in notched noise of two different intensities.These three kinds of ABRs were named as follows:tb-ABR,amtb-ABR and bmtb-ABR.Methods Puretone audiometry,ABRs to tone burst and tone burst ipsilaterally masked by notched noise of different intensities were tested in 20 adults (totally 40 ears) with normal hearing.Results ①Thresholds for tb-ABR,amtb-ABR and broth-ABR of each frequency all approximated each other,and there were no statistically significant differences between them.②The mean differences between puretone thresholds and thresholds for tb-ABR,amtb -ABR and bmtb-ABR of each frequency were all less than 15 dB.Those mean differences of different ABRs of the same frequency were approximate to each other and had no statistically differences.③No matter what kind of ABR was tested,the latencies of wave V shortened with increase of frequency in each ABR at the same intensity.When the intensity and frequency of the tone burst were the same,the latency of wave V of tb-ABR was always statistically shorter than that of amtb-ABR.The latter was also always statistically shorter than that of bmtb-ABR.Conclusion Thresholds for ABRs to tone burst and tone burst ipsilaterally masked by notched noise were useful in predicting puretone thresholds.

Objective To study the characteristic of acoustically short latency negative response (ASNR) in auditory brainstem response (ABR) evoked by tone burst in children with hearing loss. Methods ABRs to click and tone burst were recorded from 0~6 years old children with hearing loss using SmartEP auditory evoked potential system. The threshold and latency was analyzed if ASNR was recorded. Results Among all the 80 ears tested, ASNR were recorded in 7 ears (8.75%) when using click, and in 40 ears (50%) when using tone burst. ASNR was most frequently evoked by 1 kHz tone burst (in 37 ears), and 2 kHz (in 25 ears) was the second. Among the ears with ASNR, the lowest threshold of ABR wave V was 65 dB nHL. The lowest threshold of ASNR was 80dB nHL. The latencies of ASNR for 0.5,1,2 and 4 kHz tone burst was 6~8, 5~7,3~5 and 3~4 ms, respectively. The latency decreased along with the increase of intensity. Conclusion ASNR can be recorded while recording tone-burst ABR, but it has no effect in predicting hearing level using the wave V threshold of tone-burst ABR.

Objective Thresholds for auditory brain stem responses (ABRs) to tone burst and tone burst in notched noises of two different intensities were tested in adults with sensorineural hearing loss.The relationship between ABR and puretone thresholds was analyzed to identify an acoustic stimuli with better frequency-specificity.Methods Thirty-eight adults with sensorineural hearing loss (totally 45 ears) were included in the study.Tone burst used to elicit ABRs had 2.5 cycles on the rise and fall and no plateau.Notched noises of two different intensities were used to mask tone burst ipsilaterally when recording ABRs.Those two kinds of notched noises were 25 dB (intensity A) and 15 dB (intensity B) lower than tone burst in intensity respectively.Tone burst ABRs without masking were named tb-ABR,while tone burst ABRs in notched noises of intensity A and B named as amtb-ABR and bmtb-ABR.Thresholds for tb ABR,amtb ABR and bmtb-ABR were tested and analyzed.Results The regression coefficients between puretone thresholds and thresholds for tb-ABR,amtb-ABR and bmtb-ABR of all frequencies were greater than 0.8.The mean differences between ABR and puretone thresholds were all less than 10 dB.Tb-ABR thresholds the were the closest to puretone thresholds at 500 Hz,while bmtb ABR thresholds were the closest at the other three frequencies.Bmtb-ABR thresholds were more close to puretone thresholds in patients with steeply sloping hearing loss.Conclusion Thresholds for all those three ABRs could be used to predict puretone thresholds.In most condition,tb-ABR thresholds were able to estimate puretone thresholds.In some condition,different stimuli could be chosen to elicit ABR at different frequencies.It was reasonable to choose bmtb -ABR for puretone thresholds estimation in patients with steeply sloping hearing loss.

The latest epidemiological data suggests that the situation of adult diabetes in China is severe, and metabolic diseases have become significant chronic illnesses that have a serious impact on public health and social development. After more than six years of practice, the National Metabolic Management Center(MMC) has developed distinctive approaches to manage metabolic patients and has achieved a series of positive outcomes, continuously advancing the standardized diagnosis and treatment model. In order to further improve the efficiency, based on the first edition, the second edition guideline was composed by incorporating experience of the past six years in conjunction with the latest international and domestic guidelines.
