Inhibitor of growth 4 (ING4) is an important member of anti-oncogene family.The expression of ING4 is significantly lower in many malignancies.ING4 involves in multiple processes,such as tumorigenesis,regulation of cell cycle,cell apoptosis,DNA repair and angiogenesis,which have a significant impact on the progression and prognosis of tumor.ING4 may serve as a promising prognostic maker as well as a potential therapeutic target for cancer.

Objective To evaluate MRI in diagnosing brachial plexus preganglionic injury.Methods Twenty cases with brachial plexus preganglionic injury underwent M R scanning before operation.MR imaging was obtained by GE Signa EXCITE 1.5 T scanner.The scanning sequences included SE T1 WI,FSE T2 WI,T2 WI STIR and 3D Fast imaging employing steady state with phase cycled(3D-FIESTA-c).All the patients had exploration of the supraclavicular plexus and electrophysiology examination. And the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of MRI in diagnosing preganglionic brachial plexus iniury were calculated with the standards of surgical and EMG results.Results Among the 73 pairs of i,jured roots.MR imaging detected the abnormalities in 63 pairs.The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of MRI in diagnosing preganglionic brachial plexus injury were 86.5/(83/96),86.3/(63/73).87.0/(20/23),respectively.The direct signs of brachial plexus preganglionic injury included (1) lack or mutilation of netwe root in 54 pairs (85.7/),(2)coarsening,bending,stiff course and unable to be traced to the intervertebral foramen continuously in 9 pairs (14.3/).The indirect signs included (1)cystic cerebrospinal fluid gathering in the vertebral canal,posttraumatic spinal meningocele in 46 pairs (73.0/),(2)abnormal shape of nerve sleeve in 13 pairs(20.6/),(3)displacement and deformity of spinal cord in 50 pairs(79.4/),(4)abnormal signal of paravertebral muscles in 1 9 patients.Conclusion MRI can distinctly show the nerve rootlets within the vertebral canal,so it is helpful in making a correct diagnosis of brachial plexus preganglionic injuries.

The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infected-cell protein 27 (ICP27) is an essential,highly conserved protein involved in various steps of HSV-1 gene regulation as well as in the shut-off of host gene expression during infection.It functions primarily at the post-transcriptional level in inhibiting precursor mRNA splicing and in promoting nuclear export of viral transcripts.Recently,many novel functions performed by the HSV-1 ICP27 protein were shown,including leptomycin B resistance,inhibition of the type I interferon signaling,regulation of the viral mRNA translation and determining the composition of HSV-1 virions.

90%) was a forepart change of gemcitabine-induced lung injury in the first month in G group, but the exudation, proliferation and fibrosis dominated in the 1,3 and 6 months in R+CG group. Hydroxyproline content of lung-irridiated tissue was increased from the 5th month and lasted to months 6,7 and 8, and its content in the R+CG group was higher than that in the other groups(P

Objective To investigate the clinical distribution and antimicrobial resistance of common gram-positive cocci in author's hospital.Methods Identification of these bacteria were done with API analysis system,disc diffusion tests were employed to study the antimicrobial resistance.Results A total of 25 052 clinical isolates were collected in 8 years,of gram-positive cocci accounted for 7907(31.9%).Staphylococcus aureus(3549 strains,44.9%),enterococcus(1760 strains,22.3%)and coagulase-negative staphylococcus(1558 strains,19.7%)were the most common isolates.The prevalence of MRSA increased from 59.6% in 2001 to 76.3% in 2008,and MRSCoN increased from 64.2% to 77.0%.The resistant rate of MRSA to gentamicin,clindamycin,erythromycin and levofloxacin were over 90%,to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and chloramphenicol were less than 20%.The resistant rate of MSSA to gentamicin,levofloxacin,trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and chloramphenicol were low 20%,and to beta-lactamase antibacterial agents except penicillin were 0.The resistant rates of MRSCoN to all antimicrobial agents were lower than MRSA,but to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole(71.2%)was higher than MRSA(21.2%).No staphylococcus strains were resistant to vancomycin,teicoplanin and linezolid.2.1% enterococcus feacium and 4.4% other enterococcus were resistant to vancomycin.No strains of enterococcus were found resistant to teicoplanin and linezolid.Conclusion The resistant rate of gram-positive cocci were increasing obviously,the prevalence of MRS was high.Vancomycin,teicoplanin and linezolid were the most active agents against severe infection induced by multidrug-resistant gram-positive cocci.

[Objective]To investigate the expression change of miR-134 in methamphetamine(MA)-induced neuronal injury in PC12 cells and its effect on neuronal excitability and understand the pathogenesis of methamphetamine-induced neuronal injury.[Methods]PC12 cells in the logarithmic phase were divided into control group and MA group. The MA group was treated with 800μmol/L MA to establish the model of neuronal injury. The cellular injury was observed under microscope. The neuronal apoptosis was detected by Hoechst3342/PI double staining,and miR-134 expression was measured by using real-time quantitative PCR (Real time-PCR). Furthermore,we constructed miR-134 interference vector and observed its effect on evoked action potential.[Results]The cultured PC12 cells were damaged under the 800 μmol/LMA treatment ,and neurites became shorter ,the apoptotic cells were evidence. Real time-PCR showed that miR-134 expression was increased after MA treatment. Electrophysiological data showed that the evoked action potential increased after miR-134 interference.[Conclusions]High concentration of MA can induce neuronal damage and apoptosis and also increase miR-134 expression. While silence miR-134 expression can increase neuronal excitability.Our study provides an experimental basis for elucidating the possible mechanism of MA-induced neuronal injury and the role of miR-134 in neurotoxicity and neuronal excitability.

Objective To explore the relationship of sevoflurane neurotoxicity with the expres-sion of Bid,Bim,Puma.Methods The cortical neuron from newborn SD rat (within 24 h)were see-ded in 6 or 12 well plate,and then randomly divided into 4 groups.Rat culture cortical neurons in vitro exposed in 1%,2%,4% and 0% sevoflurane for 6h were divided into A,B,C and D group. The effect of neuron viability,death and apoptosis were assessed using CCK-8,LDH and caspase-3 cleavage 1 7kDa expression assay.The expressions of Bid,Bim and Puma were assessed by western blot.Results Compared with group D, there were significant increases of neuron death and apoptosis,but a decrease of neuron viability,and upregulated expressions of Bid,Bim and Puma in group B (P <0.05);Compared with group B,Group C had increased death and apoptosis and de-creased viability of neurons,as well as upregulated expressions of Bid,Bim and Puma (P <0.05 ). Conclusion Along with the increase of the concentration,sevoflurane neurotoxicity was increased by upregulation of Bid,Bim,Puma expression.

A series of 2-methoxyestradiol (2-MeO-E2) RGD peptide conjugates with coupling RGD peptides to 3- position or 17-position of 2-MeO-E2 through space linker were synthesized. Their antiangiogenic properties were preliminarily evaluated by cell migration scratch assays against HUVECs. Compound 26c binding RGDV peptide showed the best inhibitory effect. In addition, all 2-MeO-E2 RGD peptide conjugates exhibited obvious activity. These results demonstrate that conjugates with RGD peptides represent a promising means for targeting angiogenesis in cancer therapy.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the curative effect of the dynamic hip system blade (DHS-blade) on the treatment of femoral neck fractures in elderly patients with osteoporosis.

METHODSA retrospective study was conducted to analyse the clinical data of 60 elderly patients with osteoporosis who had been treated for femoral neck fractures with DHS-blade in our department between September 2012 and February 2014. There were 22 males and 38 females with a mean age of (66.8±3.2) years. According to the Singh Index Classification, all the patients'Singh index was below level 3. The Harris criterion and function recovery after operation were analysed.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up for 12-17 months (mean 14 months). No femoral head necrosis, femoral neck shortening, internal fixation loosening or backing out of the nails occurred. Bone nonunion was found in one case and he had a good recovery after total hip arthroplasty. The time for fracture healing ranged from 3-6 months (average 3.5 months). According to Harris criterion, 35 cases were rated as excellent, 22 good, 2 fair and 1 poor. The Harris scale was significantly improved from 28.46±2.35 preoperatively to 91.98±3.26 at 6 months postoperatively (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONDHS-blade, being minimally invasive, allowing earlier postoperative exercise and avoiding the complications elicited by traditional internal fixation, is advisable for treatment of femoral neck fractured patients with osteoporosis.
