Objective To discuss the necessity of antibiotics usage in septoplasty , and to provide evidences for the standardization of the therapy and rational use of antibiotics in septoplasty. Methods Eighty-seven patients who had undergone septoplasty were randomly divided into three groups: Group A: without antibiotics; Group B: antibiotics only preoperative prophylaxis; Group C: antibiotics both preoperative and postoperative for five days. The clinical effect and complication rate were compared among three groups. Results There were no statistical significance among three groups for clinical effect and complication rate (P > 0.05). Conclusions The infection rate in septoplasty is very low , and the use of prophylactic antibiotics in elective septoplasty can neither improve efficacy nor reduce postoperative complications , so it is not essential.

Objective: To investigate the effect of fusion protein SD (SH2-DED) on the K562 leukemia subcutaneous xenografts in nude mice. Methods: The models of K562 leukemia subcutaneous xenografts in nude mice based on pretreatment and treatment with recombinant adenovirus were established. In the pretreatment model, the K562 cells pretreated with recombinant adenoviruse Ad5F35-SD or its mutant Ad5F35-SmD were subcutaneously injected into the nude mice; in the treatment model, the K562 cells were firstly subcutaneously injected into the nude mice to induce the subcutaneous xenografts, and then the recombinant adenoviruse Ad5F35-SD or its mutant Ad5F35-SmD was intratumorally injected into the xenografts. The growth of the subcutaneous xenografts and the morphological changes of the tumor cells were observed. The apoptosis of the tumor cells in subcutaneous xenografts was detected by TUNEL method and observed under a transmission electron microscope. The expression levels of caspase-3 and caspase-8 proteins in the xenografts were examined by immunohistochemistry. Results: In the treatment model, the volume of subcutaneous xenografts was significantly inhibited by Ad5F35-SD treatment, and the pathological results showed nuclear condensation and deep staining of cytoplasm. The apoptosis of tumor cells was confirmed by TUNEL method and transmission electron microscopy. The expressions of apoptosis-associated proteins caspase-3 and caspase-8 were increased. In the pretreatment model, the growth of xenografts was also inhibited by pretreatment with Ad5F35-SD. Conclusion: Recombinant adenovirus Ad5F35-SD can inhibit the tumorigenicity of K562 cells and the growth of tumor xenografts in nude mice, and promote the apoptosis of tumor cells. © 2012 by Tumor.

Butyric acid can be used to produce cellulose butyrate fiber and ester derivatives,and to be applied in foodstuffs and perfume industries.Recent researches have found that butyric acid is a preferred carbon source for colonic epithelial cells,and can inhibit histone deacetylase,showing great anticancer potentials.With more and more functions of butyric acid being found and applied in bio-related fields,and with consumer's growing preference to bioproducts,biotechnological production of butyric acid will receive more competence than petroleum-based chemical synthesis.Low product concentration and poor selectivity are presently the main restricting factors.Workers have made considerable progress on more cheep carbon sources,optimization of fermentation process,simplifying downstream processing,and genetic engineering of producing strains.Any achievement on these aspects in the future can contribute to put fermentation of butyric acid into industry.

Objective To demonstrate the superiority and feasibility of using bioluminescent image to monitor the islet graft after islet transplantation.Methods Diabetic models were established by intraperitoneal injection of streptomycin into mature male C57BL/6 mice.Islets were harvested from the pancreas of C57BL/6 and Bclb/c mice by digestion and purification,and transfected with Lueiferase gene.The mouse diabetic models were divided into iso-transplantaion group (n=20) and allo-transplantation group (n=7).The islets of C57BL/6 were transplanted into iso-transplantaion mice with different doses (10,50,110 and 200,n=5 in every dose),and Bclb/c mouse islets were transplanted into allo-transplantation group.The islets were transplanted into the subcutaneous fat tis- sue near left scapula.The receptor mice were scanned with CCD camera to get bioluminescent images at different scheduled time points,and the changes in random blood glucose of allo-transplantation group were observed.Results On day 6 after transplantation,the scanning image showed that the pi- xel intensity from the region of interest (ROI) was increased with the increased number of islet grafts and they had a positive correlation.The random blood glucose was reduced to the normal level in the first 2 days,and then increased again to the diabetic level on 11 days averagely,while pixel intensity from the ROI reached the peak on day 6-7,and then reduced rapidly after islet transplantation in allo- transplantation group.The beginning of pixel intensity reduction occurred on day (6.14?0.90), while that of the random blood glucose raise occurred on day (10.00?0.82) after transplantation,and the former alteration occurred obviously earlier than the latter (P

Objective To establish a knowledge management skills evaluation tool for nursing undergraduates and then try to provide an objective basis for evaluation of their knowledge management skills.Methods After reviewing literature and research group discussion,defining the theoretical dimensions of the knowledge management skills system and developing this evaluation tool.A total of 1 139 nursing undergraduates were picked out and investigated.The data were analyzed with the SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 7.0 statistic software packages,including exploratory factor analysis,confirmatory factor analysis,reliability and validity analysis.Results The knowledge management skills evaluation tool of nursing undergraduates was a multilayered and multidimensional system,including 3 subscales (knowledge management cognition,knowledge management attitude,knowledge management behavior),8 factors (the cognition of knowledge management connotation,the intention and the belief of knowledge management,the ability of obtaining,storing,sharing,applying and innovating knowledge),36 items.Exploratory factor analysis showed that all items' factor loading were 0.433-0.851.Confirmatory factor analysis displayed a good degree of fitting.The total scale's Cronbach α was 0.933,sub-scales were 0.807-0.892.The total scale's split coefficient was 0.873,sub-scales were 0.700-0.870.The correlation coefficient between 3 sub-scales score and the total scale score were 0.875-0.912.Conclusions Because of its good reliability and validity,nursing undergraduates can evaluate their knowledge management skills by using this evaluation tool.

Objective To explore the predictivevalue of Wilms tumor gene 1 (WT1) level on long-term outcome of acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Methods The study in accordance with the inclusion criteria were collected by computer retrieving PubMed,ScienceDirect,EBSCO,Web of Science,CNKI,VIP and Wan Fang database.The retrieval time was from inception to March 2015,the two researchers according to the inclusion and exclusion independently selected studies and extracted the data and assessed the quality,then Revman 5.2 was used for Meta analysis.Results There were 11 relevant published articles were included with 1497 case patients.Meta analysis showed that High expression of WT1 gene was a negative factor for overall survival rate (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) in patients with AML (HR =1.34,95％CI 1.14-1.58,P ＜ 0.01;HR =1.35,95％CI 1.11-1.64,P =0.003).For cytogenetically normal AML patients,the high expression of WT1 gene was still the unfavorable factor of OS (HR =1.41,95％ CI 1.01-1.99,P =0.05).Conclusion WT1 expression level could be an useful prognosis long-term outcome marker for AML patients.
