Vascular endothelial growth factor is a vascular endothelial cell-specific mitogen.It is the most important angiogenic factor.VEGF expresses highly after cerebral infarction.It plays importmt roles in angiogenesis and neuroprotection.At the same time,its overexpression will also increase vascular permeability;thereby it may aggravate brain edema.This article reviews the advances in research on VEGF and its receptors and cerebral infarction.

Immune and hemopoiesis are one of basic project of experimental hematology. Immune function is a essential activity of white blood cells. It was puzzled for the diversity and complexity of immune response. Polarized immune response of immune cells was discovered 30 years ago, which facilitates the study on differentiation of lymphocyte. Recently recognition on multifunctional polarized immune response of lymphocyte and monocyte/macrophage would promote to elucidate the regulatory network of immune cells, diversity and complexity of immune response as well as the study on hemopoiesis. In this paper the approach of multifunctional polarized immune response of lymphocyte, monocyte/macrophage and dendritic cells were reviewed, and their role, especially in cytokine storm and tumor pro-inflammation condition were discussed.

The success of yielding induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from human somatic cells demonstrates the important role of reprogramming in the formation of stem/progenitor cells and initiates the exploration of the origin of leukemia stem cells. In our previous work, we have found two types of leukemia, bona fide leukemia and non-bona fide leukemia. Different leukemias originate from different leukemia stem/progenitor cells which are critical to the genesis and evolution of leukemia. Bona fide leukemia and non-bona fide leukemia originate from leukemia stem cells and progenitor cells, respectively. Recent research suggests that different types of leukemia are influenced by the reprogramming state of their origin cells.

Acupuncture clinical trials are designed to provide reliable evidence of clinical efficacy, and SCI papers is one of the high-quality clinical efficacy of acupuncture research. To analyze these papers published in high impact factor journals on acupuncture clinical trials, we can study clinical trials from design to implementation, the efficacy of prevention and cure, combined with international standard practices to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture. That is the core of acupuncture clinical trials, as well as a prerequisite for outstanding academic output. A scientific and complete acupuncture clinical trial should be topically novel, designed innovative, logically clear, linguistically refining, and the most important point lies in a great discovery and solving the pragmatic problem. All of these are critical points of papers to be published in high impact factor journal, and directly affect international evaluation and promotion of acupuncture.

Scientific research output of clinical trials in Chinese medicine (CM) is insufficient, but international papers hold an important scientific position in China. Based on the current situation, we analyzed the present publication situation of international medical papers in our country, and the feasibility and urgency of publishing international papers on clinical trials of CM. Finally, we proposed to use the PDCA (plan-do-check-action) cycle method to improve the quality control and management of CM clinical trials. Moreover, by combining our experience in relevant scientific research launched at our department, we expounded strategies for improving the quantity and quality of international papers in CM.

J6-1 cell line is the first leukemic cell line established in China. It is a multi-clone cell line infected with both EBV and HHV-6. Many cytokines, receptors and other genes were cloned from J6-1 cell line since its establishment 30 years ago. Valuable information on leukemic characteristics and functions were obtained from the studies on this cell line, which could be categorized into several research subjects. These achievements implied the unique research value of multi-clone cell lines. This comment focuses attention on research advance of the J6-1 leukemic cell line in 30 years, including heterogeneity and multi-cloning of J6-1 cells, survival mechanism of J6-1 cell populations, abnormal intercellalar communication of J6-1 cells with its significance and inspiration from J6-1 cell line.

Objective To establish the proper review rules for the microscopic screening of urine samples tested by automatic urinalysis work station.Methods A total of 3 154 random urine samples were enrolled to establish and validate review rules .All the samples were collected from the inpatients and outpatients of Shanghai First People′s Hospital from March to May 2013 and tested by urinalysis work station.Three thousands one hundred and fifty four urine samples were firstly tested by urinalysis work station,including both urine dry chemical analyzer and urine sediments analyzer .Then each urine sample was examined microscopically by two technicians-in-charge using double-blind method.The average results from the two technicians were used as review results .Compared with review results ,the review rules were set up.According to different test methods by automatic urinalysis work station , four microscopic review protocols were defined:(1)Protocol 1:based on chemistry results only ,microscopy review was performed when any of WBC,RBC,PRO and NIT was positive;(2)Protocol 2:based on urine sedimental analysis only ,microscopy review was performed when any of WBC ,RBC and CAST count was over upper limit of the reference range;(3)Protocol 3:if any of BLD ,RBC,LEU,WBC was different between two systems ,or quantitative results had two or more than two gradient differences ,microscopy review was performed;(4) Protoco1 4:if any of BLD, RBC,LEU ,WBC was different between two systems , or CAST was over upper limit of the reference range , or alarm appeared , microscopic review was performed .400 randomly selected urine samples were tested to validate the review rules .Omission diagnostic rate and review rate were used to evaluate the rules .Results According to the review rules,the positive samples rate was 43.47%(1 371/3 154) and the negative rate was 56.53%( 1 783/3 154 );Positive samples were composed of RBC ( 55.58%) , WBC ( 59.66%) and CAST(6.42%).The review rates of four protocols were 44.48%(1 403/3 154),45.69%(1 441/3 154), 26.09%(823/3 154),28.95%(913/3 154),respectively.The false negative rates (omission diagnostic rates)were 7.13%(225/3 154),4.53%(143/3 154),2.73%(86/3 154) and 1.02%(32/3 154), respectively .Protocol 4 was selected as an ideal plan.Additional 400 urine samples were tested using protocol 4 in order to confirm the review rule.The review rate, false negative rate were 26.25%(105/400), 0.75%( 3/400 ), respectively.After image review revised, the review rate was 14.50%(58/400).Conclusion This study formulates that the automatic urine analysis workstation review rules have clinical maneuverability and validity.

Objective To explore the character of ruminant thinking individuals in cold executive functions(cool EF) and hot executive functions(hot EF).Methods According to the score of rumination response scale( RRS) ,17 low-level ruminant thinking individuals and 21 high-level ruminant thinking indi-viduals were screened out and finished the classic Stroop test.Results In the cool EF,it was consistent be-tween low-level and high-level ruminant thinking individuals for color naming task response time ((10.61± 23.20)ms vs (10.79±29.32)ms),and there was no significant difference in the classic Stroop test( t=0.21, P>0.05) .In the hot EF,the respone time of the low-level group was longer than that of high-level group on the positive and negative((-5.01±22.20)ms vs (-10.88±20.33)ms;(8.78±29.96)ms vs (-8.68±19.94) ms) ,and the main effect of the emotional Stroop interference scores between positive and negative words was highly significant(F=10.88, P<0.05) .The interactive effect of emotional Stroop interference scores of words × subjects was significant(F=5.70, P<0.05) .The simple effect tests showed that the emotional Stroop interfer-ence scores between high-level and low-level ruminant thinking subjects were significant in the negative group(F=4.69, P<0.05) .And it was also significant between positive and negative words in the low-level group(F=14.63, P<0.05).Conclusion Two types of subjects in the cold EF have no significant difference. High-level ruminant thinking individuals in the cold EF are normal,but impaired in the hot EF that meaning high-level ruminant thinking individuals had bias to negative emotion.These results provide new clues for the intervention of negative emotions caused by ruminants.
