Juvenile retinoschisis (RS or XLRS,MIM#312700)is a rare X-linked inherited disorder,mainly affects bilateral retina,and is characterized by cartwheel-like changes of the macular region of the retina and schisis or splitting within the inner retinal layers,leading to visual deterioration.The electroretinogram is beneficial in the diagnosis of juvenile retinoschisis.The a-wave can be of normal or nearly normal amplitude in this disorder,whereas the amplitude of the b-wave is appreciably reduced,giving a decrease in the proportion of b/a.The responsible gene,XLRSl,maps to Xp22 and was identified by positional cloning.This paper makes a brief review about the latest XLRS research of pathogenesis,animal experiments,clinical therapy,and 25 references are cited.

Purpose:To investigate the effect of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting CD44v3 on adhesion and invasion behavior of human colon cancer cell line SW480 induced by hyaluronan in vitro. Methods:RNA interference plasmid including U6 promoter and expressing shRNA of CD44v3 was designed, constructed, and transfected into SW480 cell line. CD44v3 expression was examined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. Adhesive and invasive ability were examined by plate adhesion model and Boyden chamber model.Results:After plasmid transfection,CD44v3 expression in SW480 cell and the number of SW480 cell induced by hyaluronan adhesiving on plate or permeating septum of Boyden chamber decreased significantly (P

Objective:To develop an HPLC method for the determination of capsaicine, dihydrocapsaicin, imperatorin and isoim-peratorin in Guanjie Jietong plasters. Methods:A CAPCELL PAK C18 column was used as the chromatographic column, and the flow rate was 0. 8 ml·min-1. The mobile phase A consisted of methanol-acetonitrile(1∶1), the mobile phase B was of 1% phosphoric acid. The detection wavelength was 280 nm and 254 nm, respectively. Results:There was a good linear relationship between the con-centrations and the peak areas within the range of 0. 298-5. 956μg(r=0. 9998) for capsaicine, 0. 152-3. 044μg(r=0. 999 6) for di-hydrocapsaicin, 0. 018-0. 352 μg(r=0. 999 5) for imperatorin and 0. 010-0. 204 μg(r=0. 999 3) for isoimperatorin. The average re-covery was 97. 8%(RSD=1. 02%), 97. 0%(RSD=0. 76%), 96. 6%(RSD=0. 65%) and 98. 1%(RSD=1. 35%), respectively. Conclusion:The method is convenient, accurate, sensitive and repeatable, which can be used in the determination of capsaicine, di-hydrocapsaicin, imperatorin and isoimperatorin in Guanjie Jietong plasters.

The fusion gene between echinoderm EML 4 (microtubule-associated protein-like 4) and ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) has been identified in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). EML4-ALK is most commonly detected in never smokers with NSCLC and has unique pathologic features. EML4- ALK is oncogenic both in vitro and in vitro . ALK inhibitor (crizotinib) has demonstrated a remarkable clinical efficacy in EML4-ALK-positive NSCLC patients. This review emphasizes the biological and clinical characteristics and the therapeutic application of EML4-ALK in NSCLC. © 2012 by Tumor.

ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence of anxiety and its related social factors in undergraduate student,in order to provide scientific evidence for the prevention of anxiety in undergraduate.MethodsThe cluster random sampling was adopted for this study,and 965 college students from Zhengzhou University were investigated by Personal Report of Communication Apprehension,Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire,Toronto Alexithymia Scale,Perceived Social Support Scale and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale.Results①The anxiety detection rate of respondents was 19.3％.There were significant differences in the detection rate and severity of anxiety between genders(Male:27.0％,Female:10.2％ ) and grades( Freshman:16.4％,Junior:23.8％ ) in the college students (P ＜ 0.05).There were not significant difference in different family residence students anxiety detection rate and level(P ＞ 0.05 ).②The scores of communication apprehension ( ( 69.31 ± 12.32),( 65.25 ± 12.56) ),positive coping style( (20.84 ±5.10),(23.99 ±5.18) ),negative coping style( ( 11.03 ±4.15),(09.18 ±3.96) ),Toronto alexithymia( (74.97 ± 6.93 ),(70.31 ± 7.98 ) ) and perceived social support ( (53.14 ± 5.78 ),(57.02 ± 5.79) ) of the anxiety group were significantly different with those of the normal group (P ＜ 0.05).③The significant relationship was found among anxiety emotions and gender,positive coping style,negative coping style,Toronto alexithymia and perceived social support by using Logistic regression analysis (P＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionsThe prevalence of anxiety in undergraduate students is relatively high and it is related with multiple factors.In addition,social support,alexithymia and coping style have a close correlation with anxiety in undergraduates.

Objective To establish an accurate method for estimating the indoor gamma dose rate from decorative stones.Methods Combining a room model with decorating conditions,the gamma dose rates and dose rate conversion factors (DCF) at 1 m above the floor in the room center were calculated with the Monte Carlo simulations,and the calculation results were verified through experiments.Based on the results,the limit of radionuclide contents in stone materials was further discussed.Results The DCF increases with the increase of area or thickness of decorative stones in the same room.The increase of DCF with the thickness of decorative stone is approximately linear.The DCF also increases with the area of decorative stones,but the increasing trend slows down.For the same decorative stones,the smaller the room,the larger the increase of gamma dose rate.Experimental results were consistent with the simulation results within ± 20％.Conclusions The increase of indoor gamma dose rate depends not only on the radionuclide contents,but also on the area and thickness of the decorative stones as well as the room size.The method used in this study can be used to estimate,more accurately than ever,the additional external exposure to residents due to decorative stones,and it provides a theoretical basis for revising the limit standard on radionuclide contents in decorative materials.
