Platelet membrane glycoproteins play a key role in the processes of platelet adhesion,activation and aggregation and thrombosis.Many studies have shown that platelet membrane glycoprotein gene polymorphisms are associated with ischemic stroke.This article reviews the relationship between platelet membrane glycoprotein gene polymorphisms and ischemic stroke.

AIM:To investigate the mammalian target of rapamycin ( mTOR) signaling pathway as the center playing a role in the crizotinib-induced apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line H2228, which represents positive echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4)-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion gene. METHODS:H2228 cells were processed according to different purposes .Fluorescence quantitative PCR is used to ob-serve the gene states .MTT assay is used to detect the cell inhibition rates .The cell apoptosis and cell cycle were analyzed by flow cytometry .The expression and activation levels of the key proteins in the mTOR signaling pathway were determined by Western blotting .RESULTS:Crizotinib promoted the apoptosis of H 2228 cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner . Crizotinib blocked the H2228 cells staying at the G1 phase.In apoptotic H2228 cells processed with crizotinib, the activa-tion level of mTOR was decreased , and the activation levels of the key proteins in upstream and downstream of mTOR path -way were both declined .The expression level of the fusion protein EML 4-ALK variant 3 was not affected , but its active form of p-ALK was significantly suppressed .CONCLUSION:mTOR signaling pathway has a certain relationship with the crizotinib-induced apoptosis of lung cancer cell H 2228, which represents positive EML4-ALK fusion gene.

BACKGROUND:Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA)may produce lactic acid and glycolic acid when PLGA degrades,thus leading to the acid accumulation and inducing the inflammatory reaction locally.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of lysine,histidine and arginine on regulating the acid accumulation of PLGA copolymer during the degradation.DESIGN:Repeated measurement and experiment.TIME AND SETTING:The experiments were performed in the College of Bioengineering.Chongqing University from July 2006 to August 2007.MATERIALS:PILGA(80:20)was produced by Sigma(USA);Lysine,histidine and arginine(purlty>99%)were purchased from Sigma(USA);Chitosan(deacetylation degree:85%)was purchased from Chengdu Kelong Chemical Reagent Factory;Algin(viscosity:1.05-1.15)was purchased from Tianiin Damao Chemical Reagent Factory.METHODS:Lysine,histidine and arginine were added into PLGA with the proportion of 5%(w/v)and 10%(w/v)respectively.The resultant film sample was put into a bottle with tri-distilled-water for 2-month degradation at 37℃.The pH value of degradation solution was detected by pH meter;Each film sample was taken out and lyophilized 12 hours to get its dry weight and calculate mass loss ratio.Each variety of the solution was sampled three specimens,the average pH value,average initial weight and average finial weight of these three specimens were taken as the indices at each sampling time point,respectively.Accordingly,the regulation effect of basic amino acid was comparexl with that of algin,chitosan and NaHCO3.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The changes of pH value of degradation solution;the mass loss ratio of the composite.RESULTS:Each basic additive could relieve the acid accumulation,among them,NaHCO3 was the strongest,while algin and chitosan showed a lowest capacity,basic amino acid was moderate;The suitable regulation effect could be achieved at a level of 5%lysine.CONCLUSION:Basic amino acid can effectively regulate the acid accumulation after PLGA degrades,and the optimal concentration of lysine is 5%.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) simulator (MRI-Sim) can provide superior images for radiotherapy.Due to the complexity of MRI technology and the safety problem caused by strong magnetic field, the acquisition and implementation of MRI simulation is more complicated than CT simulation.In order to ensure the introduction of MRI-Sim, this paper reviews the selection, installation, and acceptance test of MRI-Sim, including the selection of host and auxiliary equipment, installation site preparation, and safety precautions,as well as MRI-Sim acceptance test and commissioning.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction(PCR) for Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) in children with MP pneumonia(MPP).Methods From Jun.2008 to Jan.2009,153 cases hospitalized with pneumonia were enrolled,and 30 cases without respiratory infection were enrolled as control group.Their respiratory secretion (including nasopharyngeal secretion,sputum,bronchialalveolar lavage fluid or pharyngeal swab) samples were collected for fluorescent quantitative PCR for MP.And their single or paired serums were collected for specific MP antibody detection.Results There were 123 cases confirmed with MPP by serology,among whom 114 cases were MP PCR positive.The quantitation of MP DNA was among 1.20?106-3.66?1010 gene copys/L. There were 30 cases with pneumonia negative with MP by the paired serum serology,among whom 2 cases were MP PCR positive,and the quantitation of MP DNA was (1.08-3.02)?107gene copys/L.All cases of control group were MP PCR negative.During the first and second weeks of the MPP onset,the sensitivity of MP-IgM from the first single blood samples were 66.7% and 83.9%,respectively.While the sensitivity and specificity of MP PCR were 92.7% and 93.3%,respectively.From the third week of the disease onset,the sensitivity of MP-IgM from the first single blood samples increased to 90.9%-100%.The clinical manifestations of MPP were nonspecific.Conclusions PCR is superior to serology for early diagnosis on MP infection.Combination of the 2 methods may be helpful to early and accurate diagnosis on MP infection.

A management window model for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) was established in Tilanqiao Community Health Service Center cooperated with tertiary hospitals.Patients were screened and treated in the community health service center,and a comprehensive management plan was conducted and patients were followed-up.A total of 105 patients with atrial fibrillation (97.2％) were effectively managed with an average follow-up of 10.6 months.The CHADS2 score ≥ 2 in 78 cases,including 11 cases with administration of warfarin (14.1％) and 26 cases with paroxysmal AF without transition to persistent atrial fibrillation.Compared to the data before management,the rate of taking aspirin and warfarin in managed patients was increased (all P ＜ 0.05),the international normalized ratio (INR) of patients receiving warfarin was improved (P ＜ 0.05) ; the ratio of receiving comprehensive treatment program,standardized treatment and health education were significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05) ; the awareness of the disease,treatment compliance and satisfaction of patients were improved significantly (all P ＜ 0.05).The results suggest that the management widow model is feasible and effective for management of patients with atrial fibrillation in community health service centers.

Objective To compare the accuracy of 64-slice spiral coronary angiography (CTA) and myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in the detection of functionally relevant coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Twenty patients diagnosed as CAD and 11 suspected CAD were studied. Both 64-slice spiral CTA and MPI images were analyzed. For the evaluation of CTA,luminal narrowing ≥50% and ＜50% were visually assessed. Perfusion defects on MPI were detected and allocated to their corresponding coronary vessels.Results Among total 124 coronary vessels, CTA detected stenoses ≥50% in 23 arteries, and 7 showed perfusion defects in the corresponding myocardial areas on MPI. Ten of 101 vessels had stenoses＜50%,and no perfusion defects in the corresponding myocardial areas was found on MPI. There was difference between the degree of coronary artery stenoses and the risk probabilities of myocardial ischemia (χ~2=6.667, P=0.01). No statistical difference was detected between the coronary artery stenoses site and the risk probabilities of myocardial ischemia (χ~2=6.839, P=0.065). The sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values of 64-slice spiral CTA in detecting perfusion defects on MPI was 41.18%, 85.05%, 90.01% and 30.43%, respectively.Conclusion 64-slice spiral CTA can display important morphologic information of coronary arteries, but with a low positive predictive value. MPI can be used as an important method to evaluate the change of heart function resulted from CAD.
