The medicine for military use only is an essential material for medical support. The United States of America is one of the earliest countries which has used special medicine to protect the military personnel from injuries and diseases. The current situation of service support in the military of USA is introduced and the challenges facing the development, product, supply and use of the special medicine in USA are analyzed,for reference by our army.

The practice of English teaching of microbiology course using the original edition of Microbiology (Prescott LM et al., 5e, 2002) as textbook have been carried out for two years for undergraduate students majoring in Biology. The strengths of this book are comprehensive coverage, flexibility of organizing, and emphasis on the enhancing the overall ability of students. Its content is excellent with fundamental knowledge, systematic arrangement and up-to-date currency, which helps instructor to construct a suitable system in the course structure and curriculum, as well as to enrich the teaching content and to increase teaching effectiveness. The selection of original edition of English textbook in microbiology course is useful to train high-quality biological talents possessing international view and the adaptive ability of globalization process.

Objective To characterize molecule profiling for hypoxia/hypothermia-conditioned human endothelial cells(EC),and to examine the hypothesis that the interaction between hypoxia/hy- pothermia-conditioned EC and monocytes plays a key role in early hypoxia/hypothermic reperfusion in- jury.Methods Human aortic EC were conditioned in hypoxia/hypothermia chamber at 4℃for 91) rain followed by 4 to 8 h re-warming at 37℃and then analyzed initially by RT-PCR to evaluate RNA transcripts.To examine early cellular interactions,a cellular adhesion study was performed using EC and fluorescence-conjugated DIO labeled purified human monocytes,and CD4~+ T cells as well as PB- MC.Interactions between PKH-26-labeled EC and these cells were carried out to determine EC mem- brane uptake by monocytes.Results RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that hypoxia/hypothermia-con- ditioned EC up-regulated RNA transcripts of inflammatory cytokines,ECE-1 and endothelin,co-stim- ulatory molecules,and adhesion molecules CD54.FACS showed minimal up-regulation of CD54 on hy- poxia-hypothermia-conditioned EC.Low level adhesion of purified CD4~+ T cells to resting and hypoxi- a/hypothermia-conditioned EC was noted.In contrast,high levels of monocyte adhesion to hypoxia/ hypothermia-conditioned EC were observed when compared to resting EC.EC membrane up-take by monocytes but not CD4~+ T cells was revealed by FACS,and the levels of EC membrane up-take were similar to those of the normal EC.Conclusions Hypoxia/hypothermia-conditioned EC demonstrated up-regulation of multiple RNA transcripts associated with inflammatory responses,cellular adhesion and co-stimulation.Human monocyte adhesion to hypoxia/hypothermia-conditioned EC was greater than T cells.Monocytes up-took EC membrane during their interaction.These findings suggest that the initial interaction between monocytes and hypoxia-hypothermia EC,but not T cells,may play a critical role during early reperfusion injury.

Objective To test the expression of serine/arginine rich splicing factor 1(SRSF1)and apoptosis inhibiting factor(Survivin) in prostate cancer,and study their correlation with the pathological features of prostate cancer,so as to put forward the new targets in the treatment of prostate cancer. Methods SRSF1 and Survivin protein was determined in 20 prostate tissue samples including prostate cancer(n=12)and benign prostat?ic hyperplasia(n=8)by immunohistochemical SP method. SRSF1 and Survivin was correlated to pathological features,and both the relevance was analyzed(no related reports at home and abroad). Results The positive expression rate of SRSF1 protein in prostate cancer tissue cells was 76.37± 5.06%,which was significantly higher than that of benign prostatic hyperplasia(11.30%±1.09%,P<0.05);the positive expression rate of Survivin protein in prostate cancer tissue cells was 86.93%±3.21%,which was significantly higher than that of benign prostatic hyperplasia(17.67%±1.99%, P<0.05);SRSF1 and Survivin protein expressed in prostate cancer organizations and were positively correlated to pathological Gleason grading, and there was significant correlation(P<0.05). Conclusion SRSF1 and Survivin protein were highly expressed in adenocarcinoma tissue,which were significantly increased than that of benign hyperplasia of prostate tissue. The positive expression SRSF1 and Survivin protein were positively cor?related to pathological Gleason grading.The expression of Survivin protein was elevated with the expression of SRSF1 protein in prostate cancer. These preliminary evidence indicated that SRSF1 may up?regulate the expression of Survivin,and thus promote the occurrence and development of prostate cancer.

Objective To investigate the Influence of Survivin and hTERT gene on cell proliferation and apoptosis in human colorectal carcinoma cell line SW 480 and to find experiment evidence for gene therapy of colorectal carci-noma .Methods Plasmids carrying shRNAs targeting survivin and hTERT were designed , constructed and trans-fected into SW480 cells.SW480 cells were then divided into blank group , blank Plasmid control group , survivin RNAi group , hTERT RNAi group and Survivin-hTERT RNAi group .The telomerase activity was examined by TRAP-PCR-ELISA analysis 48h after hTERT-shRNA transfection.Survivin and hTERT mRNA and protein expres-sion was analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blot .Cell apoptosis , proliferation were measured by flow cytometry , CCK-8 assay.Results Telomerase activity of SW480 cells in Survivin-hTERT RNAi groups were significantly decreased compared with the blank group ( P<0.01 ) .The expression of survivin and hTERT mRNA, proteins in the Survivin-hTERT RNAi group was reduced by 82.8%and 73.6%( P<0.01 ) ,79.2%and 66.7%( P<0.01 ) respectively .The inhibitory rate of cell proliferation of Survivin-hTERT RNAi group was 43.6% ±0.1%( P <0.01 ) .The apoptosis rate was 39.2%±2.3%( P<0.01 ) in the Survivin-hTERT RNAi group .Conclusions The Survivin-hTERT RNAi group could significantly reduces the protein expression of survivin and hTERT mRNA, in-hibit cell proliferation and induces cell apoptosis in human colorectal carcinoma cell line SW 480 .

Tumor has long been a hard-nut problem in the world medical field. The effect of the conventional drugs is very limited because of the intervention of multiple micro-environmental factors during the occurrence and progression of tumors. With the characteristics of high efficiency, low toxicity and multi-targets synergistic effect, the long-circulating tumor targeted compound preparations show its unique advantages in improving tumor microenvironment and enhancing the therapeutic effect of treatment, thus it has gradually become a hotspot of studies both at home and abroad. Through consulting a great number of professional literatures at home and abroad in recent years, the authors summarized the current studies in vitro and in vive on long-circulating tumor targeted compound preparations in different carriers, in the expectation of providing new ideas and methods for the development of long-circulating tumor targeted compound preparations.

0.05). After dividing the patients into early-onset and late-onset subgroups, there were significant differences of DRD4 genotype and allele frequency between early-onset patients and controls (P0.05). Conclusion The results suggested that the polymorphism of DRD4 receptor gene may be associated with early-onset OCD. The 3/4 genetype may be the risk factor of early-onset OCD. Early-onset and late-onset OCD may have different etiology.
