Objective To construct an efficient SALL4 shRNA vector and transfect it into THP-1 cells for investigating the effect of SALL4 in leukemia. Methods Four SALL4-specific siRNA to aim at different SALL4 mRNA target sites and a negative control siRNA were designed, and pGPU6/GFP/Neo/SALL4 shRNA vectors were constructed. THP-1 cells were transfected and the expression of SALL4 in shRNA detected, and blank control and negative control were also designed. Results The results of real time quantitive PCR and Western blotting both exhibited that the interference effect of pGPU6/GFP/Neo/SALL4 shRNA-B vector was optimal targeting to mRNA-1122 target site and down-regulated the expression of SALL4 more significant(P <0.05). Conclusion Successfully construction of SALL4 siRNA vector by choosing SALL4 shRNA-B would be useful to accomplish study of SALL4.

OBJECTIVE： To discuss the selectivity of enatiomers of clinically used asymmetric drugs.METHODS： To exsamplify this issue in respect to pharmacokinetic characteristics,pharmacodynamic properties and clinical application of asymmetric drugs.RESULTS ＆ CONCLUSION： The enatiomers of asymmetric drugs assume complex pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics.Thorough study of enatiomers of asymmetric drugs will exert great influence on rational use of asymmetric drugs.

An online questionnaire to 103 professionals of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was conducted to acquire their recognition and understanding of international communicative competence. The results showed that foreign language communicative competence and solid medical knowledge are considered the most important qualities while the importance of global vision, strategic thinking, cross-cultural awareness/sensitivity and communicative strategy is comparatively underestimated. It was proposed that domestic TCM universities and colleges strive to improve the soft skills for TCM professionals and cultivate more interdisciplinary TCM talents armed with professional expertise, foreign language communicative competence as well as international and multicultural awareness.

The review summarized the diagnostic strategy of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases and introduced some progress in clinic.As ischemic cerebrovascular diseases were highly heterogeneous,the review analyzed their characteristics step by step.Through the primary diagnosis,etiological diagnosis,evaluation of risk factors and factor analysis of the whole body,the review describe the diagnostic program of the diseases and provide suggestion about the individually therapy and prevention.

In the present study,the trachea of 17 new borns and 10 animals, including rabbits, dogs and monkeys were used. The neural elements were visualized by Cajal-Faworsky silver impregnation and osmic acid techniques. Specimens were cut in to sections by freezing microtome and stained by Gros—Bielchowsky method.Branches from the recurrent laryngeal and vagus nerves pass to the trachea,dividing and rejoining to form a mesh-like plexus outer to the cartilage. Fibers of the posterior parts of the plexus appear as a well-defined longitudinal chain of nerves. The branches from this plexus re-form a primary, secondary and tertiary plexuses in the membrane of cartilage plates, in the muscle, the submucous regions and the mucosa.Parasympathetic effector neurons were mostly found in the posterior and lateral wall, on rare occasions the anterior wall.A profuse supply of predominantly unmyelinated fibres innervates the muscle,blood vessels and glands, and the plexuses supplying these structure apparently communicate with each other. They also contain some thinly myelinated fibres.In the layer of smooth muscle the nerve fibres give off fine collaterals and end in knob-like or arrowheaded swellings. The fibres of subepithelial plexuses branch rectangularly and pass between the epithelial cells. All these fibers terminate in knobs which lie among the deep epithelial cells.

Previous studies have showed that sulfonylureas possess a bidirectional effect on cardiovascular system:they can raise the coronary artery tone,aggravate ischemic injury to the cardiovascular tissues,and accelerate cardiac hypertrophy through closing cardiovascular ATP-sensitive K+ channels;meanwhile,they can also regulate glucolipid metabolism,modulate inflammatory reaction and inhibit atherosclerosis through activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors.Clinical-epidemiological study showed different opinions on whether sulfonylureas can increase the mortality of patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Glutamine(Gln) is the most abundant free amino acid in the circulation. However, Gln depletion is obviously increased in critically ill patients. The liver plays a key role in glutamine metabolism since it can either generate or consume Gln. A number of studies have demonstrated that administration of Gln can protect from liver damage during sepsis or chemotherapy. The mechanism may be that glutamine can be more efficiently transported across cell membranes for glutathione synthesis. Supplement of Gln to PN has been proven to maintain intestinal integrity and reduce bacterial translocation. As a gluconeogenic amino acid, Gln can decrease the portal insulin/glucagon ratio and prevent hepatic steatosis through stimulating glucagon secretion.

Objective To investigate the levels of inflammatory cytokines in children with low absolute lymphocyte count (ALC).Methods 56 patients with low ALC as the patients group and 20 children with healthy physical examination as the control group were enrolled.Several inflammatory cytokines,namely IL-1,IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-βwere measured with enzyme linked immu-nosorbent assay(ELISA)kits.High sensitive C reactive protein(Hs-CRP)was measured by the immunoturbidimetry(ITM)kit with the automatic biochemical analyzer.Results The concentrations of IL-1,IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-βin the patients were(0.096±0.012) ng/mL,(0.118±0.026)ng/mL,(0.388 ±0.069)ng/mL and(1.256 ±0.245 )ng/mL respectively,which had no statistical differ-ences as compared with the control group(P >0.05);the concentration of HsCRP in the patients group was(5.7±2.8)mg/L,while which in the control group was(4.8±2.6)mg/L,showing no statistically significant difference between them(P >0.05).Conclusion The levels of the cytokines in low ALC patients are not increased,which may be related with the other factors.Actively using tra-ditional Chinese medicine treatment is beneficial to the recovery of disease.

Objective To investigate the clinical correlation of intestinal bacterial translocation(BT) and in-testinal barrier of pediatric intestinal surgery,and to observe the relationship between BT and postoperative infection.Methods The plasma D-lactic acid,LPS level of 61 children with intestinal surgery in our hospital were detected before and after surgery.Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to test blood bacterial DNA,in order to judge whether there is BT.Results The PCR results of preoperative children were negative,the PCR positive for 3 cases.According to the PCR results,postoperative systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS) and complications of infection of PCR positive group were obviously higher than those of PCR negative group(P ＜ 0.01).And plasma D-lactic acid,LPS inspection of PCR positive group were obviously higher than PCR negative group(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Intestinal barrier damage has close relationship with BT in children after intestinal surgery,SIRS and infection complications also has a direct relationship with BT.
