Objective To study the morphology changes and the expression of phosphatidyl serine(PS) in apheresis platelets(Plts) during storage,also to analyze their relationship,in order to provide laboratorial evidence for the in vitro storage period of plts.Methods The morphological changes of plts during 8-day storage were detected by May-Grunwald-Giemsa dyeing method,and the expression of PS on platelet membrane was tested by flow cytometry(FCM).Results The morphological lesions appeared on the fourth day of storage,because the modified morphological score(MMS) of 4-day group was significantly lower than that of fresh plts(t=2.341,P

Colorectal cancer is currently the third most common cancer worldwide,and there are still half of the patients undergoing recurrence and metastasis after surgical treatment,so it is necessary for colorectal cancer patients to receive radiation therapy routinely.Due to the side effects brought by radiotherapy,it is of great importance to solve how to minimize the radiation dose in radiation therapy and improve radiation sensitivity.In recent years,people discovered that microRNAs can not only be involved in the origins of colorectal cancer and progress,but also play a increasingly important role in cancer radiosensitivity.MicroRNAs can regulate tumor radiosensitivity by influencing tumor microenvironment and function on target genes.DNA damage response caused by radiation includes the activation of ATM,histone modification and chromatin remodeling,cell cycle arrest,damage repair and apoptosis.microRNAs can regulate tumor radiosensitivity through above processes.This review focuses on the mechanism of microRNAs in affecting DNA damage repair and prospects the future of microRNAs in influencing the sensitivity of cancer radiotherapy in clinical application.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the short-term clinical outcome of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty for the treatment of spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee.
METHODSFrom September 2013 to April 2014,5 patients with spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee underwent unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, included 3 males and 2 females, aged from 65 to 80 years old with an average of 74 years. The courses of disease was from 1 to 6 years with the mean of 3 years. According to the radiographic staging criteria of Koshino, 1 case was stage II, 2 cases were stage III, 2 cases were stage IV. Clinical effects were assessed by VAS score, HSS score, and knee range of motion, tibiofemoral angle before and after operation.
RESULTSAll the patients were followed up from 6 to 7 months with an average of 6.4 months. All incisions obtained primary healing, and there were no complications such as infection, thrombosis, fracture of lower limbs. All 5 patients' pain relieved and their knee function improved significantly after operation, but knee range of motion had no obviously improved. Postoperative HSS scores, VAS scores, tibiofemoral angle were significantly improved than that of preoperative.
CONCLUSIONThe short-term effect of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in treating spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee is satisfactory.

Objective To investigate the angiographic manifestations of renal artery injury caused by percutaneous nephrolithotomy, and to evaluate the therapeutic effect of super-selective renal arterial embolization in treating renal artery injury. Methods A total of 22 patients with persistent or intermittent gross hematuria that occurred after percutaneous nephrolithotomy, who were encountered at authors’ hospital during the period from Jan. 2010 to June 2014, were included in this study. The diagnosis was confirmed by renal angiography in all patients, and super-selective renal arterial embolization with steel micro-coils was carried out in all patients. The patients were followed up for three months. The results were analyzed. Results Of the 22 patients, DSA examination showed that renal artery pseudoaneurysm (RAP) was found in 14 (63.6%), renal arteriovenous fistula (RAVF) in 5 (22.7%) and RAP associated with RAVF in 3 (13.6%). Renal angiography performed after super-selective renal arterial embolization showed that complete obstruction of the bleeding arteries was achieved in all patients, and the active bleeding stopped. Both the technical success rate and the hemostasis rate were 100%. During the follow-up period lasting for three months, no recurrence of hematuria or severe complications occurred. In 20 patients, different degree of embolism syndrome was observed after the treatment. Conclusion Renal artery pseudoaneurysm and renal arteriovenous fistula are the main types of renal artery injury after percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Super-selective renal arterial embolization with micro-coils can be used as the treatment of choice for patients who has failed to respond to conservative therapy.

Object: To investigate the effects of Huaiqihuang Granule, a compound Chinese herbal medicine, on expressions of nephrin and podocin of slit diaphragm of glomerular podocytes in rats with adriamycin-induced nephrosis and to explore the mechanism in reducing the proteinuria. Methods: Twenty SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: control group, model group, glucocorticoid group, Huaiqihuang Granule group and Huaiqihuang Granule plus glucocorticoid group. The 24-hour urine was collected 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after adriamycin injection respectively to measure 24-hour urinary protein, and all rats were sacrificed after 28-day treatment. Pathological changes in renal tissues were observed under a light microscope and an electron microscope. Expressions of nephrin and podocin mRNAs in renal cortex were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction, and protein levels of nephrin and podocin were detected by Western blotting. Results: (1) In the model group and the treatment groups, the level of urinary protein increased significantly from the 14th day. (2) Under the light microscope, inflammatory cells and slight fibroplasia were found in renal interstitium of the model group, but there were less inflammatory cells in renal interstitium in the intervention groups than in the model group. Under the electron microscope, 29 days after adriamycin injection, extensive fusion of foot processes was observed. (3) The expressions of nephrin and podocin were higher in treatment groups than in the model group. (4) Proteinuria level was negatively correlated with the expressions of nephrin mRNA and nephrin and podocin proteins. Conclusion: The above results indicate that Huaiqihuang Granule can maintain the integrity of the slid diaphragram in podocyte, alleviate the lesion of glomerular filtration membrane, and decrease the proteinuria by up-regulating the expressions of nephrin and podocin. Huaiqihuang Granule plus glucocorticoid maybe has better effects than glucocorticoid alone.

This study aimed to develop the calculation method of pre-hospital emergency physician allocation gap and apply it to Shanghai.In order to reduce the ambulance dispatch lag frequency, through the analysis of its da-ta in the Shanghai urban area, the research group obtained the gap and extended the data to Shanghai city.The peak method establishes the association between pre-hospital emergency physician increment and the ambulance dispatch lag decrement.Based on descriptive statistics, the peak method by which the Shanghai ambulance dispatch lag data were analyzed uses the SAS programming software.This method of using programming software provides it with good reliability and validity.After an increase of 40 duty vehicles (381 pre-hospital emergency physicians), the ambu-lance dispatch lag ratio would drop from 25.61 percent to 0.22.Therefore, the association between the pre-hospital emergency physician increment and the ambulance dispatch lag decrement was established and can provide a scientif-ic evidence for the policy formulation.

Objective To evaluate the survivability of hand foot mouth disease(HFMD)virus,in tap water for daily use.Methods HFMD viruses were isolated from cases of HFMD in Shanghai and Zhejiang from in 2008.Six isolated strains (five subtype of enterovirus 71 and one coxackie virus)were selected in this study.These viruses were mixed with chloride 1.0 mg/L tap-water and then inoculated into Vero cells.The cytopathic effect (CPE)was checked everyday in order to survey the survivability of each virus strain.The decline of virus survivability was analyzed by scatter diagram.Results These six strains of HMFD virus could survive longer than one month in tap water with initial chloride concentration of 1.0 mg/L and still had celluar infectivity.The survivabilities were varied between viruses isolated from different HFMD cases.Conclusions The survivabilities of enterovirus 71 and coxackie virus stains are quite strong in water.Therefore,the transmission route of water-borne pathogens should be monitored in regions using tap water during HFMD epidemic period.
