BACKGROUND: Fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) gene is one of the receptors for growth factors in early hematogenesis. By binding to its ligand (FL), FLT3 regulates the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem/pregenitor cells via cell signal transduction pathway. FLT3 juxtamembrane internal tandem duplication (ITD)mutation is correlated with leukemia onset, development and act as an independent factor for poor prognosis.OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between Flt-3/ITD mutation and acute leukemia (AL), and analyze its clinical implication.DESIGN: A repetitive measurement.SETTING: Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Shenyang Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 147 samples of leukemia patients were diagnosed by morphological bone marrow biopsy in Shenyang Central Hospitals affiliated to Shenyang Medical College from January 1999 to October 2004. They were 95 males and 52 females with the mean age of 14.5 years old (5-23 years old). According to FAB standard, there were 62 patients with acute leukemia [including 33 cases of acute myelocytic leukemia (AMLs, M1, M2), 3 cases of acute myelo-monocytic leukemia (AMMOLs, M4), 18 cases of acute monocytic leukemia (AMOLs, M5), 8 cases of acute megakaryocytic leukemia (AMKLs, M7)], 43 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALLs), 13 patietns with juvenile chronic myelocytic leukemia (JCMLs) and 29 patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDSs). Informed contents were obtained from all the participants.METHOD: Flt-3/ITD was detected with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sequence in the 147 leukemia patients.MArN OUTCOME MEASURES: The clinical manifestations and prognosis were observed in the ALL patients with Flt-3/ITD;The Flt-3 gene expression, Flt-3/ITD positive rate, duplication region and length were detected in all kinds of leukemia.to Flt-3 gene products, including 3 cases of AMLs (M1, M2), 1 case of AMMOL (M4), and 1 case of AMOL (M5). DNA sequencing and blast alignment revealed that ITDs existed in all samples with unusual products within exon 11, in various region and length (33-72 bp). Expression of Flt-3 in different levels was found in 43 cases of ALL, 29 cases of Flt-3/ITD all died short after the diagnosis, and the mean life span of was only 10.8 months.

With regard to the nature of meridians, the authors have presented the hypothesis of dual reflex in 1977. This means that acupunture can invoke some effects not only through CNS (long reflex), but through the connection of peripheral nerve terminals to transmit messages (short reflex). In this experiment, rats were anaesthetized by rethane. The superficial peroneal nerve (SPN) and the deep peroneal nerve (DPN) were found out and cut off in order to break off their connection to CNS. With electrical stimulation of SPN, the action potential (AP) on the DPN was recorded at the same time. AP was induced only in a few cases (5.7%). But, after electroacupuncture was reapplied to Zusanli (ST-39) point for 30 rain, we stimulated SPN with electricity. This showed that APs were recorded on DPN in 17 among 27 rats (58.6%). Since some tissues around Zusanli point involve both SPN and DPN, the results suggest that messages are transmitted between nerve terminals under certain condition and that impluses on a nerve stem may stimulate another nerve terminal. This might be the essence of propagated sensation along the channels.

Objective To understand the prevalence condition of occupational musculoskeletal disorders in nurses,so as to supply scientific evidence for reducing and preventing nurses′occupational injuries.Methods 582 nurses from three level three class -A hospital in Wenzhou were investigated,which were selected by convenience sampling method.Results The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders was 76.3%.The prevalence of low back pain was highest,which was 58.9%.Among the nurses who had lower back pain,in the past 1 year,43.4%of them had a total duration of illness more than 30 days,18.7% of them reduced daily activities time for more than 30 days,and 22.6% of them had received examination and treatment.The main factors which related to low back pain among nurses were age (OR =2.18,95% CI:1.36 -3.67 ),stoop time (OR =2.24,95% CI:1.08 ~4.36 ), occupational stress(OR =1.82,95%CI:1.14 ~2.89),work fatigue(OR =2.45,95%CI:1.27 ~3.15)and physical exercise(OR =0.63,95%CI:0.44 ~0.89).Conclusion The condition of occupational musculoskeletal disorders is serious,especially low back pain.Interventions related to influencing factors can be taken to reduce the incidence of low back pain.

BACKGROUND:Tumor markers are of great significance in early diagnosis of cancer, screening of high risk
group with cancer, differential diagnosis between benign and malignant tumors, judgment of cancer progression, evaluation of cancer therapeutic effect and prediction of cancer recurrence and prognosis.
OBJECTIVE:To realize the importance of tumor marker for cancer early diagnosis by introducing the working principle and clinical application of silicon nanowires biosensor in detecting tumor markers.
METHODS:The first author searched PubMed, CNKI and Google Scholar Databases to retrieve relevant articles about tumor marker, working principle and application of silicon nanowires biosensor published from 2003 to 2013. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Silicon nanowires biosensors with high sensitivity and without secondary marks show a good application prospect in detecting tumor markers. They have been used to detect tumor markers for prostate cancer, breast cancer, tumor markers of colorectal cancer, and primary liver cancer, and achieved an ideal limit of detection. However, due to the influence of debye length, most of detections can only be performed in the standard solution. There is a lack of the serum data of cancer patients.

Sodium salicylate-borate is a complex salt easily prepared by the reaction of salicylic acid and borax at 40-50℃. A three-color point with Rf values of 0.72, 0.58, and 0.48 respectively was obtained on the thin layer chromatography. The maxium absorbent peak of this complex salt (20?g/ml) was at 300 nm. determined with the ultraviolet spectrophotometer scanner.The mycostatic effect of this complex salt varies with its concentrations. It is effective against the superficial infections with the concentration of over 1250 ?g/ml; and 2500?g/ml is necessary for the treatment of deep fungus infections.

Objective To explore the therapeutical effect of somatostatin(SST) on the damaged bowel barrier of 7-day-old SD rats with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE). Methods Total 7-day-old SD rats were randomly divided into untreated control group(n=6), sham-operated group(n = 6), HIE model group(n = 8) and SST-treated group(n = 8). After 6 hours of operation, abdominal aorta blood of the rats was collected to measure the level of D-lactic acid, the ileum was taken for pathological analysis and immunohistochemistry staining of SP. Results The level of D-lactic acid in HIE model group was obviously increased[(10.30 ± 1.70)mg/L], and there were significant differences compared to untreated control group, sham-operated group as well as SST-treated group respectively(P < 0.05, respectively). The cillia of ileum became widen and shorten, and the number of it decreased. At the same time, in the stratum mucosa and the neurofibrillary tangle, the expression of SP was increased (average optical density: 12.67 ± 5.46), and there were significant differences compared to untreated control group, sham-operated group as well as SST-treated group raspectively (P < 0.05,respectively).Compared with HIE model group,the level of D-lactic aeid decreased obviously[(7.35 ± 1.55) mg/L] in SST-treated group,and there were no differences compared to untreated control group and sham-operated group respectively. The intestinal villi became thinner and higher in the SST-treated group, even the number increased. Besides that, the expression of SP decreased(average optical density: 0.73 ± 0.09), and there were no differences compared to untreated control group and sham-operated group respectively. Conclusion The therapeutical effect of SST on the bowel barrier damage of 7-day-old SD rats with HIE is clear.

Objective To explore the effect of treadmill exercises on disuse osteoporosis and the media effect of OPG-RANKL-RANK system of osteoclast differentiation in the process.Methods Forty six-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal control group,a disuse model group,a normal recovery group and an exercise recovery group,each of 10.The normal control group were sacrificed 4 weeks later without receiving any special treatment.The disuse model group were sacrificed after 4 weeks of tail suspension.The normal recovery group were sacrificed after 4 weeks of tail suspension and keeping quiet for 4 weeks.The exercise recovery group were sacrificed after 4 weeks of tail suspension and another 4 weeks of treadmill exercises.The indicators of bone mineral density (BMD),bone histomorphometry,bone tissue TRACP-5b staining,bone metabolism and cytokines related to the osteoclast differentiation OPG-RANKL-RANK system were tested immediately after the rats were sacrificed.Results The BMD,trabecular bone volume percentage (TBV),trabecular bone width (Tb.Wi),concentration of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and the gene expression of bone marrow oculopneumoplethysmograph (OPG) of the disuse model goup were significantly lower than those of the normal control group (P＜0.01),while the trabecular bone spacing (Tb.Sp),average positive staining area percentage (APSAP) of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP)-5b,concentration of serum Ca2+ and TRACP-5b and the gene expression of bone marrow cytokines including RANKL,macrophage colony-stinulating factor (M-CSF),RANK,interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α of the disuse model goup were significantly higher than those of the normal control group (P＜0.01).The BMD,TBV,Tb.Wi,concentration of serum ALP and the gene expression of bone marrow OPG of the exercise recovery group were significantly higher than those of the normal recovery group (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The Tb.Sp,APSAP,concentration of serum Ca2+ and TRACP-5b and the gene expression of RANKL,M-CSF,RANK,IL-6 and TNF-α of the exercise recovery group were significantly lower than those of the normal recovery group (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion The 4-week tail suspension can lead to disuse osteoporosis in rats.Treadmill exercise can promote the recovery of rats with the disuse osteoporosis.The occurrence of disuse osteoporosis and the effect of exercises on disuse osteoporosis were related with the expressing of OPG-RANKL-RANK system-related cytokines of osteoclast differentiation in bone marrow microenvironment.

Objective To study the influence of carbamazepine on the neuromuscular block induced by rocuronium. Methods Thirty-two ASA Ⅰ- Ⅱ patients scheduled for neurosurgical operations were studied: 16 cases suffered from epilepsy were treated with carbamazepine for 24 to 180 months (carbamazepine group); the others suffered from intracranial tumors without antiepileptic treatment (noncarbamazepine group). Anesthesia was induced and maintained with target controlled with propofol 5 μ g/ml was monitored using train-of-four (TOF) stimulation. The onset time and times of muscle relaxation recovery 25%,50%,75% was recorded. Results The onset time was no difference between two groups (P＞0.05),but the times of muscle relaxation recovery 25%, 50%, 75% in carbamazepine group [(23.9±3.8 ), ( 29.2 ±4.5 ), ( 36.0 ± 5.4 ) min] were shorter than those in non-carbamazepine group [( 34.0 ± 2.8 ), (40.5 ± 4.6),( 49.9 ± 5.3 ) min] ( P ＜ 0.01 ). The recovery index in carbamazepine group [( 12.1 ± 2.9 ) min] was shorter than that in non-carbamazepine group [(15.8 ± 3.1) min](P＜0.05 ). Conclusion The duration of the rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block is significantly shortened by preceding chronic carbamazepine therapy.

BACKGROUND:Internal fixation has become the first choice for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. However, the methods and materials for internal fixation are various. Which one has the best clinical efficacy?
OBJECTIVE:To compare the effects of proximal femoral nail and total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures.
METHODS:A total of 46 patients with intertrochanteric fractures were voluntarily divided into two groups:proximal femoral nail and total hip arthroplasty. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and Harris scores were compared between the two groups, and X-ray examination was used for assessment of clinical efficacy in the two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Total y 46 patients were fol owed-up for 3 to 12 months. Fractures in al the patients were healed. As compared with the total hip arthroplasty group, in the proximal femoral nail group, approach incision was smal er, blood loss was higher, operation time and fracture healing time were longer, and Harris score was lower (P<0.05). These findings indicate that the total hip arthroplasty is better than proximal femoral nail for intertrochanteric fractures, with less invasion and blood loss. However, the long-term effects need further studies.
