By structural modifications of our previous leads 1-3, 18 diarylamines were designed, synthesized and evaluated with a human tumor cell line panel, including A549, DU145, KB, and KB-vin cell lines, resulting in the discovery of new antitumor agents A6 and B2 with low micromolar G50 values ranging from 1.55-2.10 micromol x L(-1) for above cell lines, and A9 with GI50 values ranging from 1.55-2.10 micromol x L(-1) specially for DU145, KB, and KB-vin cells. Current structure-activity relationships are helpful for further lead optimization.

Objective To analyze the imaging features and its value in diagnosing primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH) of bone.Methods Imaging features(X-ray,CT,MRI) in 8 cases of MFH confirmed pathologically,and were retrospectively reviewed.Results The location of lesions in 6 cases was in upper femur,2 cases was in upper tibilar.Worm-eaten-like bone destruction withindistinct margin was presented on X-ray film,some lesions showed slightly marginal sclerosis.Tumors were soft tissue density on CT(CT value was 34~35 HU).The masses of soft tissue were showed much distinct.Conclusion The primary MFH of bone is not of characteristic imaging findings.It can improve obviously the diagnosis of the disease by the comprehensive analysis of the imaging data.

Objective To further research the biological functions of PES1,the ovarian SKOV3 cell line with inducible stable PES1 expression is established by using Tet-on system.Methods PES1 was cloned into pTRE-Tight vector via PCR and its expression was identified. After transfected the regulating plasmid pTet-on,SKOV3 cells were screened with G418 and re-transfected pTRE-Tight-PES1.The positive cell clones were screened out with hygromycin and were induced by doxycycline (Dox) to definite the best induction concentration.Growth velocity of SKOV3 cells stably expressing PES1 induced by Dox was detected with viola crystallina.Results The SKOV3 cells with inducible PES1 expression were screened out after the cells were transfected pTRE-Tight-PES1 constructed.Dox could dose-dependently induce the PES1 expression with the concentration under 2 mg/L,and 2 mg/L of Dox induced the highest PES1 expression.Growth velocity of SKOV3 cells transfected pTRE-Tight has no significant difference between the SKOV3 cells transfected nothing induced with Dox.However,the SKOV3 cells transfected pTRE-Tight-PES1 grew faster than the cells transfected pTRE-Tight or without transfection in the fourth day (P =0.001 ).Conclusion The inducible stable PES1 expression SKOV3 cells are successfully established and could be used to be an effective cell model to research the biological functions of PES1.The expression of PES1 could promote the growth of SKOV3 cells.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the pathogen spectrum distribution in respiratory tract infection during the past twelve years.METHODS The method was retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS A total of 7596 strains in(clinical) specimens were isolated.It showed that the isolating rate of Gram positive cocci,Gram negative bacilli and fungis was 34.56%,48.62% and 10.10%,respectively.The isolating rate of Gram positive cocci was 25.96% between Jan 1991 to Dec 1996,the most commonly isolated bacteria of which were Staphylococcus(aureus),Streptococcus pneumoniae and ?-hemolytic streptococci,with isolating rates being 6.85%,4.84 % and(4.26%),(respectively);the isolating rate of Gram negative bacilli was 63.33%,the most commonly isolated bacteria of which were Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae,with isolating rates being(8.46%),7.97% and 7.09%.The isolating rate of Gram positive cocci was 37.91% between Jan 1997 to Dec 2002,the most commonly isolated bacteria of which were S.aureus,?-hemolytic streptococci and Str.pneumoniae,with isolating rates being 10.28%,7.02% and 6.68%,respectively;the isolating rate of Gram negative bacilli was 47.64%,the most commonly isolated bacteria of which were P.(aeruginosa),E.coli and K.pneumoniae,with isolating rates being 8.19%,7.07% and 5.21%,respectively.The isolating rate of fungi was 6.06% and 11.43%,respectively during the two stages,the most commonly pathogen of which was Candida albicans.(CONCLUSIONS) The pathogen spectrum distribution in respiratory tract infection during the past twelve years has changed significantly.The isolating rate of Gram positive cocci and fungi,respectively is gradually increasing,but that of Gram negative bacilli is decreasing.

OBJECTIVED: To explore the prevalence and risk factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and impaired glucose regulation (IGR) in Zhangzi Island of Dalian, additionally to provide a better understanding of further intervention. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed in 907 residents aged over 18 years from Zhangzi Island of Dalian. The questionnaire, physical measurement, food intake frequency and previously dietary investigation were used in the analysis. Simultaneously, a series of biochemistrical and immune index was measured, including blood uric acid, blood sugar, total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, as well as serum insulin.RESULTS: The recovery rate of questionnaire was 95.9%, which demonstrated that the prevalence rates of T2DM and IGR in Zhangzi Island were 11.36% and 37.38%, there was no significant differences between males and females (P > 0.05). Only 29.13% of the people with T2DM were aware of the condition. The prevalence of DM and IGR were increased significantly with age (P < 0.01). The results of the logistic regression showed that age, education, alcohol drinking and hypercholesteremia were the risk factors of IGR. In addition, age, education, hypercholesteremia, hypertriglyceridemia, body mass index and hypertension were the important risk factors for the development of DM. CONCLUSION: The prevalence rates of T2DM and IGR in Zhangzi Island of Dalian are high with a low awareness. Health promotion on lifestyle changes may help to increase the public awareness and reduce the prevalence.

Objective To understand the effect of standardized training for resident doctors and to improve its evaluation method. Methods A questionnaire survey was made among 89 resident doctors including 46 directors and 46 matrons. Kirkpatrick Model was used to analyze the question-naires in four dimensions including reaction layer,learning layer,behavior layer and achievement layer. Data of reaction layer were analyzed by ANOVA and data of learning layer and behavior layer were compared by paired t-test. Results Reaction layer:the overall satisfaction of the resident doc-tor for training is about 4.09. Learning layer:There were significantly statistical differences in the test scores before and after training(P=0.00). Behavior layer:There were significantly statistical differences in resident doctor’s ability and quality before and after training (P=0.00). Achievement layer:both the complaint rate and the accident rate of the 89 resident doctors were 0 while all of them passed the practicing physician exam. Conclusions Standardized training can improve the quality and ability of resident doctors. Kirkpatrick evaluation model can reflect the effect of the standardized training for resident and is a good tool to analyze the effectiveness of standardized training for resident.

Objective To explore the image features of benign fibrous histiocytoma of bone and its correlative differential diagnosis.Methods Nine cases of benign fibrous histiocytoma of bone were retrospectively analyzed by comparing the imaging findings with surgical and pathological results.Results In all 9 cases,the tumors were single,ranged from 10 mm?15 mm?20 mm to 50 mm?50 mm?60 mm in diameter,which appeared as round or oval destruction with clear border in the bone,neither calcification nor ossification.The border of tumors in 5 cases was accompanied by integrated sclerosis ring with homogeneous thickness.There were expanding changes in 6 cases,no expanding changes in 3 cases.4 cases underwent MRI,2 cases were homogeneous,low signal on both T1WI and T2WI,and 2 cases were low signal on T1WI and high signal on T2WI with low signal sclerosis ring in circumference.There were no periosteum reaction and soft-tissue tumor in 9 cases.Conclusion X-ray,CT and MRI are valuable in the diagnosis of benign fibrous histiocytoma of bone,for some typical cases,the correctly diagnosis of it can be made before operation.

In our 6 years experience of clinical education,we think that sufficient preparation of the teachers and the interaction with the students is very important.Especially,the improvement on education method and the applications of multimedia are also a helpful technique.
