Objective To discover the vital role of Rab27B in tumor cells and its potential molecular mechanism by means of quantitative proteomics analysis of Rab27B knockdown in MHCC97H.Methods The expression of Rab27B in MHCC97H cells was knocked down by the combination of Tet-on advanced inducible expression system and RNA interference technology.Then, proteins extracted from the cells were identified by LC-MS/MS system after FASP digestion and iTRAQ 4-plex labeling. Finally, the properties of differentially expressed proteins, including the subcellular localizations, biological processes and molecular functions, were analyzed by the bioinformatics method.Results There were 448 differentially expressed proteins (|Ratio|>1.21, P<0.05) identified in MHCC97H cells after Rab27B knock-down.The expression levels of 229 or 219 proteins were positively or negatively correlated with Rab27B, respectively. These differentially expressed proteins were mainly involved in vesicle transport, macromolecule localization, cellular response to stimulus.Furthermore, there were 26 differentially expressed proteins participating in 8 tumor-related signal pathways, eleven of which were in the focal adhesion signal pathway.Conclusion The analysis of quantitative proteomics in Rab27B-knockdown MHCC97H cell line by iTRAQ suggests that Rab27B not only has an impact on the exosomal secretion of tumor cells, but also regulates master proteins in signal pathways involved in cell proliferation and migration.

Objective To study the pathological and ultramicrostructural characteristics of organ tissues in relation to the clinical course of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Methods Post-mortem tissue samples of organs (lungs, heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, stomach ) were obtained by needle biopsy from four SARS patients who died in middle and late stages 3-5 weeks after the onset of the disease. The pathological samples were studied by light and electron microscope, immunohistochemistry, histochemistry and indirect immuno-fluorescent antibody test. Results The main pathological features were early interstitial pulmonary fibrosis or organizing pneumonia. Fibroblasts were increased in the interalveoli septa and young connective tissue was found to fill the alveoli. Diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) with alveolar pneumocytes proliferation and an increase in macrophages were found. Desquamative alveolitis also existed at the same time. Squamous metaplasia and syncytial giant cells with multinuclei could be seen. CD3 + and CD20 + lymphocytes were markedly decreased and CD68 + macrophages and S-100 + dendritic cells increased in spleen. Proliferation of bone marrow cells became restrained . Hepatocytes were vacuolated with fatty degeneration. Electron microscopy showed the presence of coronavirus-like particles 80-60nm in diameter enveloped in the cytoplasm of the type Ⅱ pneumocytes, endothelial cells and lymphocytes. Conclusions A novel coronavirus is the cause of the newly recognized severe acute respiratory syndrom (SARS). The main target organs are lung and immune system. Different pulmonary pathological features were found in patients dying from the disease in different stages. All of specimens showed positive reaction of SARS-fluorescence antibody.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of thoracic cavity perfusion with cisplatin combined with mannan peptide in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with malignant pleural effusion.Methods 47 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with malignant pleural effusion with a median age of 50 years old (41-70 years old) were enrolled.Pleural effusion occurred at 38.5 months on average after diagnosis,unilateral effusion was seen in 45 patients (95.7 ％),bilateral effusion was seen in 2 patients (4.2 ％).Cisplatin combined with mannan peptide was administered through pleural puncture by PICC center vein pipe after drainage.Data of survival complications and response to the treatment were reviewed.Results 17 patients (36.1％) had a complete remission (CR),21 patients (44.6 ％) had partial remission (PR),and the total remission rate (CR+ PR) was 80.9 ％.The median survival time was 10.5 months.Patients with pleural fluid pH ≥ 7.2,glucose ≥ 60 mg/L,and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) ＜ 600 U/L showed association with good efficacy,the efficacy rates were 85.0 ％ (34/40),86.5 ％ (32/37),89.5 ％ (34/38),the median survival time were 11.5,12.0,12.5 months.Pleural fluid pH ＜ 7.2,glucose ＜ 60 mg/L,and LDH ≥ 600 U/L showed association with poor efficacy,the efficacy rates were 42.8 ％ (3/7),50.0 ％ (5/10),44.4 ％ (4/9),the median survival time were 6.5,6.5,6.0 months (P ＜ 0.05).The curative effect of the patients with bone metastasis and (or) pulmonary metastasis without liver metastasis was more similar with that of the patients with liver metastases [(47.0 ％ (16/34) vs 57.1％ (4/7),x2 =0.01,P =0.29].But median survival time had significant difference (11.0 vs 6.0 months,P =0.02).The Cox multi-factor analysis confirmed that the LDH value of effusion was an independent factor as prognosis evaluation.Major side effects of the treatment included fever,chest pain,nausea and vomiting.Conclusion Thoracic cavity perfusion using cisplatin combined with mannan peptide is effective in the treatment of malignant pleural effusion in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with pleural effusion,with relatively low toxicity.LDH value is a predictive factor for survival.The patients with liver metastases appeare poor median survival time.

Objective To identify the key factors triggering medical disputes induced by differences in cognition between doctors and patients in order to control the occurrence and development of medical disputes. Methods From 2002 to 2006,the outpatients,inpatients and medical staff of 3 hospitals in Shanghai(class 3 first level general hospital,n=2;class 3 first level special hospital,n=1) were investigated,and random sampling method was employed for the research analysis. Results There were significant differences between doctors and patients in cognition of influential factors triggering medical disputes such as health law,medical services,rights and obligations. Conclusion The differences in cognition between doctors and patients are important causes for medical disputes,and effective prevention and intervention measures must be taken.

Objective To summarize our experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of giant colonic lipoma,and enhance awareness of the disease and avoid misdiagnosis.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 5 cases of giant colonic lipoma that were mistaken for colon cancer,and evaluate the possible reasons of misdiagnosis.Results Colonic lipoma is an uncommon benign tumor.Most cases with larger tumor size were misdiagnosed as colon cancer when they suffered from the symptoms of abdominal pain,bloody stool,abdominal mass,even bowel obstruction and intussusception.Barium enema and colonoscopy are important diagnostic means.Contrast enhanced CT scan can provide definitive topographical information identifying a colonic lipoma.Surgical resection was performed in all the 5 cases.Conclusion Giant colonic lipoma with intussusception can mimic a colonic carcinoma leading to misdiagnosis.

Using the high efficient copper-adsorbing yeast strain Y17 as absorbing material, the major affect factors including pH, original concentration of Cu2+, cell biomass, adsorption time and temperature were examined, and then the absorbing sites of the Y17 was determined. The results showed that the solution pH was the most dominate factor which affected the biosorption of Cu2+, the other affecting factors were the ini- tial concentration of Cu2+, the cell biomass added, and adsorption time, respectively; the temperature had lit- tle effect on the rate of biosorption. The orthogonal experiment showed that the optimal absorption condition was as follow: the solution pH was 5.0, the absorption time was 40 min, the cell biomass of Y17 added was 5.0 g/L, and the concentration of Cu2+ was 8 mmol/L; the highest adsorbing rate was up to 82.7% at this condition. Based on the results of different pretreatments and the desorption of Cu2+, the cell wall of Y17 was identified as the main place occurring boisorption process, and the -NH2 group, -COOH group on the surface of the yeast cells played an important role on the boisorption process.

Thyroid hormone insensitivity syndrome is an inherited syndrome characterized by high serum concentrations of thyroid hormone,accompanied by normal or slightly high serum TSH concentration due to the reduced responsiveness of target tissues to thyroid hormone.Thyroid hormone insensitivity syndromes are related to gene mutations of thyroid hormone receptors,thyroid hormone cell transport defect,and thyroid hormone metabolism defect.This article reviews the progress of pathogenesis,diagnosis,and therapeutics of thyroid hormone insensitivity syndrome.

Objective:To understand the medication safety events about cephalosporin in our hospital in order to provide evidence for the better medication safety of cephalosporin. Methods:Adverse drug reaction ( ADR) reports, medication error ( ME) reports and drug quality problem records about cephalosporin in our hospital were collected and the critical indicators in the reports were analyzed. Re-sults:The ADR reports selected in our hospital were mainly reported by pharmacists. More males were involved in the related patients, and young adults were in the majority. Second and third-generation cephalosporin were the major drugs used in the reports. The damages in skin and its appendages were the major damages in organs. The ME reports selected in our hospital were totally reported by pharma-cists. Errors in frequency and dose of drug administration were the most common, and the main causes were lack of knowledge and train-ing. No serious quality problem in cephalosporin was found in our hospital, and the inner and outer packaging in damaged conditions was the most common problems in our records. Conclusion:Cephalosporin as one widely used antibacterial agent is considered safe and effec-tive. Because of its large amount of application, cephalosporin should be paid more attention by health care professionals. MEs should be avoided as far as possible. ADRs should be treated timely and properly in order to decrease medical disputes. More attention should be paid to ensure security of drug use for patients.
