Epigenetic modification, which involve DNA methylation, RNA-associated silencing and histone modification, is implicated in cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, apoptosis and malignant transformation. Some leukemogenesis has been shown to be aberrance of epigenetic modification. This paper discussed the potential causes of some of leukemias correlating with the methylation of cell cycle regulation genes, small interference RNA and modification abnormality of histone after translation. The study on epigenetic modification abnormality of leukemia cells provides a new strategy for treatment of leukemia.

Objective]To investigate academic thoughts of Prof. Yan Dexin in spleen and stomach syndrome treatment.[Methods]The paper summarized the academic origin, academic thoughts as well as practical treatment cases of Prof. Yan Dexin ’s spleen and stomach syndrome treatment theory. [Results]The main points of Prof. Yan’s academic thought on spleen and stomach therapy has succeeded and developed the therapy of Menghe physician, which includes an emphasis on spleen Qi rise and stomach Yin drop, Qi of spleen and stomach regulation, special attention on the function of the stomach-yang and spleen-yin, an advocation ofspleen leading four organs, and therapy design from spleen with an ingenious use of atractylodes rhizome, Atractylodes and Zhizhu pill. [Conclusion] Professor Yan Dexin developed his unique theoretical system in spleen-stomach diseases therapy on basis of the experiences of spleen and stomach disease treatment from ancient physicians, which is instructive for later physicians.

Posterior circulation iscbemia refers to the transient iscbemic attack and the cerebral infarction in vertebrobasilar artery system,its prognosis is not as good as anterior circulation ischemia,and its treatment is similar to that of anterior circulation ischemia.However,because of the mortality of basilar artery occlusion is higher,usually more aggressive treatment should be considered,such as thromholytic therapy(especially intra-arterial thromholysis)and endovas- cular therapy,and the therapeutic time window is much longer.This article reviews the treatment of anterior circulation ischemia.

Receptor of activated C-kinase 1 (RACK1) shows different expression in various tumors,because its seven WD repeating sequences can combine with a variety of molecules.In addition to activating protein kinases C,RACK1 still plays a role in many tumor-related signaling pathways.With the deepening of research,RACK1 is expected to play an active role in cancer diagnosis,treatment and prognosis.

The clinical data of 96 intubated inpatients with restricted cervical movement from June 2012 to June 2014 were retrospectively reviewed.They were divided into fiberoptic bronchoscope, Shikani optical stylet and McCoy laryngoscope groups (n =32 each).Identical anesthesia induction was applied.Compared with McCoy laryngoscope group, the total success rate and one-time success rate of tracheal intubation was higher in Shikani optical stylet group, tracheal intubation time was shorter and postoperative complications were fewer (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group F, endotracheal intubation time was shorter (P ＜0.05).However, heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), oxygen saturation (SpO2), total success rate of tracheal intubation, one-time success rate of tracheal intubation and complication rate showed no significant inter-group differences at all timepoints (P ＞ 0.05).Shikani optical stylet intubation has a less impact on hemodynamics and intubation time is short so that it is ideal for surgical patients with restricted cervical spine.

Equity of the essential medicine system involves social justice,being important in health services availability equity.The essential medicine system,in practice in China,has to a certain extent improved the equity of health service availability,yet found with poor equity in the process due to differences in insurance,regional diversity,pricing of essential medicine,and poor implementation of the system at primary medical institutions.Such equity needs to be further improved in the future in such aspects,consistence of different insurance reimbursement percentages,further support to underdeveloped areas,encouragement of market competition,and better compliance of primary medical institutions in implementing the system.

Objective To detect the expressions of Numb and α-catenin in the gastric cancer and matched normal gastric mucosa,and to analyze their relationship with clinicopathological factors of gastric cancer and explore their roles in gastric carcinogenesis and progression.Methods Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expressions of Numb and α-catenin in 109 cases of tumor specimens and 97 cases of matched normal gastric mucosa.The correlations between Numb,α-catenin and clinicopathological factors were analyzed.Results The positive rates of Numb and α-catenin in gastric cancer were significantly lower than those in normal gastric mucosa (60.6％ ∶ 100.0％,x2 =48.361,P =0.000;76.1％ ∶ 100.0％,x2 =26.480,P=0.000).The expression of Numb protein was correlated with Lauren type (x2 =17.018,P =0.000) and tubular adenocarcinoma differentiation (x2 =17.586,P =0.000).The expression of α-catenin protein was correlated with Borrmann type (x2 =6.700,P =0.035),Lauren type (x2 =11.098,P =0.001),tubular adenocarcinoma differentiation (x2 =8.203,P =0.017) and lymph node metastasis (x2 =6.402,P =0.011).The expressions of Numb and α-catenin were statistically correlated in 109 cases of gastric cancer (rk =0.184,P =0.028).Conclusion Compared with normal gastric mucosa,both Numb and α-catenin expressions are down-regulated and the two expressions are correlated in gastric cancer.Numb and α-catenin may be involved in the regulation of histological differentiation of gastric cancer by certain passages,Numb protein may be adjusted by α-catenin pathway which is involved in Wnt-β-catenin pathway,and thus plays an important role in promoting cell proliferation,invasion and metastasis in human gastric cancer.

?Objective: To study the effects of endogenous bone morphogenic protein 2(BMP 2) and 6(BMP 6) in rat facial nerve after injury. Methods: Facial nerve trunk was cut and then anastomosed in 30 adult male Sprague Dawley rats,another 6 rats without operation were used as the controls. Every 6 rats were killed 6 ,72 h,1, 2 and 4 weeks respectively after operation and nerve specimens were immunohistochemically examined for BMP 2 and BMP 6 expression. Result:In the control nerve the gray level of BMP 2 and BMP 6 were 210.89?8.21 and 232.03?9.25 respectively. 6, 72 h,1, 2 and 4 weeks after operation the gray level of BMP 2 were 242.83?11.01,240.67?7.91,234.46?5.28,232.12?7.27 and 220.71 ?10.19;that of BMP 6 210.75?5.19,204.08?10.85,198,91?8.58,186.37?4.11 and 184.62? 8.45 ,respectively. Conclusion: BMP 2 may play a role in the early irritable actions when facial nerve was injured. However, BMP 6 might have functions in the regeneration of facial nerve during later period after injury.

Objective: To construct a high effective eukaryotic expre ss ing vector containing mcpr1 gene. Methods: mcpr1 gene w as amplified by PCR from the plasmid T-easy/ mcpr1, then PCR product was in serted into eukaryotic expressing vector pcDNA3.1/V5-His B. The positive recomb inant was identified by PCR analysis, HindIII and BamHI restriction analysis and Sequence analysis. Results: A 400 bp DNA fragment was amplified from the recombinant. Sequence analysis and restriction digest demonstrated tha t the mcpr1 gene was successfully inserted into pcDNA3.1/V5-His B plasmid.
