As a way of gene modification,alternative splicing is an important factor of eukaryotic gene expression and regulation.It makes various transcripts from one protein-coding gene,and greatly extends the genetic information.Alternative splicing of pre-messenger RNA plays an important role in tumor cells.By alter-native splicing,some important genes can generate splicing variants different from those in normal cells.The existence of tumor-specific splicing variants leads to the occurrence and progression of tumor.Therefore,explo-ration on the alternative splicing of tumor-associated genes may be of great significance in tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Aldo-keto reductase reductase (AKR) superfamily is NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase.As a rate-limiting enzyme in polyols metabolic pathway,the activation or inactivation of AKR involves in neoplastic process of lung cancer with the metabolism of environment toxic.AKR is related to drug resistance of chemotherapy,which will be the prognostic factor of lung cancer.

Laboratory animal science, as a supporting discipline in life science research, has been set up courses in many universities, especially in medical schools.However, due to the curriculum design was too rigidly attached to tradition, emphasis on theory and cannot adapt to the development of natural science.In this paper, aiming to enhance the teaching effect, we focus on the practice, advance with the times, combine with customized teaching reform of laboratory animal science curriculum, teaching content and teaching forms.

AIM:ToinvestigatetheregulationofmiR-21onFasLexpressionanditseffectonthegrowthand apoptosis in glioma cells , and to evaluate the molecular mechanism .METHODS:Differential expression levels of miR-21 in human glioma U251 cells were achieved by transfecting with miR-21 mimics, miR-21 inhibitor or scramble .The viability and apoptosis of U251 cells were detected by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. The recombination vector pmirGLO-FasL was constructed .Dual-luciferase reporter experiment was performed to validate the target genes of miR-21.The expression vector pcDNA3.1-FasL was also constructed , and the biological activity and regula-tory role of miR-21 in U251 cell apoptosis were analyzed by a restore experiment .RESULTS:Exogenous overexpression of miR-21 increased the viability and decreased the apoptosis of U 251 cells ( P<0.05 ) , while miR-21 inhibitors generated the opposite results (P<0.05).Dual-luciferase reporter assay and restore experiment revealed that miR-21 negatively reg-ulated the expression of FasL gene which was regarded as the target gene , thus decreasing the apoptosis of U 251 cells. CONCLUSION:miR-21 increases the viability of glioma U251 cells, in which FasL may be one of the target genes .

General practitioners from community health service institutions in Shijingshan,Mentougou,Haidian,Chaoyang,Fengtai and Dongcheng Districts of Beijing were selected to take the examination of chronic wounds management.Questionnaire survey was also performed on the status of community chronic wounds management,medical service motivation,influencing factors and their demand for training.Among 204 general practitioners,55 (27.0％) had mastered basic knowledge,98 (48.0％) passed the examination and 51 (25.0％) failed.The results showed that 179 (87.7％) had changing dressing service,36.8％ offered out-patient consulting service,17.6％ performed surgical debridement,only 10 (4.9％) provided home chronic wounds care service and 2 (0.9％) of them carried out long-term follow-up.According to the motivation survey,all the practitioners expressed the willingness to help the patients and win their trust.Most of the practitioners claimed no supporting from their institutions(91.7％) and chronic wounds management was excluded from daily routine.Furthermore,heavy work load(82.8％) and lack of professional knowledge(80.9％)were also considered to be main obstructive factors.The survey showed that the majority of physicians required classroom teaching (90.1％),case analysis (86.8％),operating video (92.6％) and other teaching forms.More low level doctors(97.1％)had the desire to pursue further specialist training than higher level physicians (56.7％).The results of our investigation indicate that general practitioners in community heath service institutions have strong learning motivation for chronic wounds management and systematic training of knowledge and practical skills in this field should be provided.

Objective To study the respiratory and circulatory changes in elderly patients, and their relationship with pulmonary complications after thoracotomy. Methods 58 elderly patients either aged over 75 years, with major organ dysfunction or underwent highly invasive procedures (group 1). Respiratory and circulatory status, including arterial blood gas under room air, water balance, urine gravity, and hemodynamics monitoring through pulmonary artery catheter were documented. The results were compared with those from 56 young patient controls receiving thoracotomy in the same period (group 2). Results All 12 patients having pulmonary complications were from group 1 (group 1A). Ten of them presented on the 2nd or 3rd postoperative day with hypoxemia. The other 2 died of type II respiratory failure after severe infection. Preoperative pulmonary co-morbidity (P=0.026, Exp(B)=5.4) and obesity (P=0.043, Exp(B)=4.9) were identified as independent risk factors for pulmonary complications after thoracotomy in elderly patients. During the first 3 postoperative days, PaO_2 of group 1A was significantly lower than group 2 as well as the other elderly patients who did not develop pulmonary complications after surgery (Group 1B). PaCO_2 of group 1A and 1B were significantly lower than group 2. There were also significant differences between the three groups in water balance on the first postoperative day (group 1A +832ml, P=0.006 vs. group 1B +109ml, P=0.004 vs. group 2 -243ml ). Urine gravity in group 1A was also significantly higher than in group 2 in the first 3 postoperative days. Pulmonary artery catheter monitoring revealed increased cardiac output and decreased systemic vascular resistance, showing a hyperdynamic status, in elderly patients after surgery. Pulmonary vascular resistance was elevated in the same time. Conclusion Pulmonary co-morbidities commonly seen in elderly patients are responsible for pulmonary complications, the major cause of surgical mortality after thoracotomy. Hypoxemia in the early postoperative period is mainlycaused by relative volume overloading from trauma induced interstitial edema. Close monitoring of arterial blood gas under room air, water balance, and urine gravity after thoracotomy may identify elderly patients at risk of developing pulmonary complication and prompt timely intervention.
