Objective:To study the relationships of portal hypertensions to vasoactive substances-angiotensin(AT-Ⅱ)in cirrhosis patients.Methods:48 patients with liver cirrhosis(LC)(including 18 patients with compensated LC and 30 patients with decompensated LC) and 32 normal controls(NC) were studied. Color duplex doppler ultrasonography was used to study portal venous and splenic venous blood flow(PVBF and SVBF).Also,the blood concentration of AT-Ⅱ was detected.Then,analyze the correlation between PVBF and SVBF to AT-Ⅱ.Results:Portal hyperdynamic exists in cirrhosis patients from beginning to the end. Low level of AT-Ⅱ in compensated LC patient has no relation with portal hyperdynamic, high level of AT-Ⅱ in decompensated LC has positive relation with portal hyperdynamic.Conclusion:This study has directed significance of clinical treatment and diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the correlation between deep vein thrombosis(DVT) and clinical laboratory tests in the regulation of hemostasis. Methods Endothelin-1 (ET-1), thrombomodulin (TM), P-selectin, prothrombin fragment _ 1+2 (F_ 1+2 ), thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), thrombus precursor protein (TpP) and D-Dimer (D-D) were measured in DVT patients (n=72) and normal individuals (n=20) with ELISA method. The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV), positive predictive value (PPV) and accuracy were evaluated for each of the items, and the area of the underlying receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC ROC ) was used to appraise diagnostic efficiency. Results Except ET-1, there were significant differences between the DVT group and normal control group in the other items. The AUC ROC of P-selectin, F_ 1+2 , TpP and D-D was bigger than that of ET-1, TM and TAT (P0.05). The TpP had the highest sensitivity, NPV and accuracy, and the D-D had the highest specificity and PPV. Conclusion The increase of D-D and TpP could reflect the occurrence of continuous coagulation and fibrolysis respectively. Thus the combination of measuring TpP and D-D could provide better laboratory evidence for the diagnosis of patients with DVT.

PPP2R5C is one of the members of regulatory subunits of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), which plays a critical role in cell proliferation, differentiation and transformation, based on its induction of dephosphorylation of P53 at various residues. Recently, it was characterized that the alteration of expression pattern of PPP2R5C is associated with cell malignant transformation, thus PPP2R5C was thought as a marker for progressive disease in B-CLL. In this article the gene structure and biological function of PPP2R5C as well as relation of PPP2R5C with genesis and development of cancer were discussed.

Objective To investigate the effects of acidosis on the current change of transient receptor potential channel M7 (TRPM7) and collagen production in mouse cardiac fibroblast (MCFs), and to explore the pathophysiological function of TRPM7 on the cardiac fibrosis. Methods (1) The model of MCFs was established and isolated. (2) MCFs was subcuhured. (3) Patch clamp technique was used to observe the current characteristics of TRPM7 in low PH solutions. (4) The influence of acidic condition on Ca2+ influx in MCFs was recorded by calcium fluorescent indicators. Results (1) There was a high level expression of TRPM7 in MCFs and the electrophysiological characteristics of TRPM7-like (TRPM7L) was similar to that of TRPM7. (2) Ca2+ influx was increased in acidic condition, and the F340/F380 ratio was increased from 1.0 to 4. 6 at pH 4.0 compared with pH 7.0 (t=2.72, P<0.01). Conclusions (1) TRPM7 is the molecular basis of the native TRPM7L in MCFs and TRPM7L plays an important role in Ca2+ influx. (2) The pathophysiological function of MCFs is influenced by regulation of Ca2+ influx mediated by TRPM7L in the condition of acidosis.

Objective: To analyze the status quo of assanation and ethics courses and their social requirement, thus to explore a scientific mode for the course setting; Method: The course setting status quo of assanation and ethics is analyzed among 18 colleges in which the nursing speciality is set up. A questionnaire was also conducted to investigate students' inclination towards politics-sorted courses, and relevant data were analyzed. Results: The establishing rate of assanation courses in the higher professional colleges is higher than that in the comprehensive universities. The most favorable subjects among freshmen are the Chinese national political theories, and assanation & ethics, while the counterparts among seniors are assanation & ethics, law basis, and philosophy. Seniors have an obvious higher desire for the course of assanation & ethics compared with freshmen (P
