Objective To investigate the effects of deguelin on the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction in RPMI-8226 cells in vitro,as well as the regulation of steroid receptor coactivator-3(SRC-3)to explore the relationship between them.Methods The effect of deguelin on the growth of RPMI-8226 cells was studied by MTT assay.Apoptosis was detected through Hoechst 33258 staining and Annexin-V FITC/PI double-labeled cytometry.RT-PCR Technology was applied to assessment of the mRNA expression of SRC-3,whereas,SRC-3 protein expression and localization were determined by using immunohistochemistry method.Results Deguelin presented striking proliferation inhibition potency on RPMI-8226 cells in vitro and apoptosis induction activity in a time-and dose-dependent manner.The IC50 value for 24 h was(54.55?0.40)nmol/L,(17.04?0.73)% RPMI-8226 cells went apoptotic when treated with 25 nmol/L deguelin for 24 h,with the dose of deguelin increasing to 100 nmol/L,(63.57?1.36)% cells were apoptotic.Over-expression of SRC-3 was found in RPMI-8226 cells,whereas the mRNA and protein expression levels of SRC-3 were significantly downregulated in RPMI-8226 cells induced by deguelin in a dose-dependent manner.The disposition of SRC-3 was situated mainly at the nuclear,occasionally in the cytoplasm.Conclusion Deguelin exhibited potent proliferation inhibition to the human myeloma cell line RPMI-8226 cells,furthermore,deguelin might induce RPMI-8226 cells apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner,which might correspond to the regulation of the expression of SRC-3.

Objective To explore the correlation between caring behavior and critical thinking of nursing students in clinical practice. Methods Totally 203 nursing students in clinical practice were investigated with Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory- Chinese Version (CTDI- CV) and Caring Behavior Scale (CBS). Results The structural model obtained a good fit. Critical thinking and caring behavior were positively correlated with each other(β=0.46,P<0.01). Conclusions Nursing students′caring behavior could improve their critical thinking. With the cultivation of critical thinking of nursing students, nursing educators should pay attention to improving their caring behavior.

In order to investigate the anti-leukemia effects of gambogic acid (GA) and its relation to the regulation of nucleoporin Nup88 in U937 cells in vitro, the inhibitory effect of GA on the growth of U937 cells was examined by using MTT assay. Apoptosis was detected by Annexin-V FITC/PI double-labeled cytometry. Cell cycle regulation was studied by propidium iodide method. Both flow cytometry (FCM) and RT-PCR were employed to assess the expression of Nup88, and the localization of Nup88 was determined by confocal microscopy. The results indicated that GA had strong inhibitory effect on cell proliferation and apoptosis induction activity in U937 cells in vitro in a time-and dose-dependent manner. The 24-h IC(50) value was (1.019+/-0.134) mg/L. Moreover, GA induced arrest of U937 cells in G(0)/G(1) phase. Over-expression of Nup88 was found in U937 cells, whereas GA could significantly down-regulate both the protein and mRNA levels of Nup88. Nup88 was diffusely distributed between nucleus and cytoplasm and was located at the cytoplasmic side of nuclear rim, and occasionally in cytoplasm. It is suggested that GA exerts its anti-leukemia effects by regulating the expression and distribution of nucleoporin Nup88. It promises to be new agent for the treatment of acute leukemia.

Background In previous study,peripheral retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness is considered to be the earliest structural changes which can be detected.3D-OCT can measure the thickness of macular ganglion cell complex (mGCC),which makes the detection of primary glaucoma possible in the early stage.Objective This study was to measure the thickness of mGCC and disc-peripheral RNFL in early stage of primary glaucomous eyes by 3D-OCT and assess the anatomic basis of glaucoma-induced optical nerve damage.Methods 3D-OCT images from 10 patients with advanced stage primary glaucoma in one lateral eye and early stage glaucoma in fellow eye from December 2010 to December 2012 were prospectively analyzed in China-Japan Friendship Hospital.The patients were diagnosed based on the recommended standard of National glaucoma group (1987 version) and received routine eye examination.3D-OCT scanning was performed using 3D-macular mode,3D-macular Wide mode and 3D-disc mode with TOPCON 3D-OCT 2000 system,and the images at macular 6 mm×6 mm area were analyzed.The posterior pole area was divided into 5 concentric rings from fovea toward periphery and equally subdivided into 100 small checks,with the area of 0.6 mm×0.6 mm for each.The probable values in each check were calculated as the ratio of each figure and corresponding normal value.The probable values were expressed as red color (P< 1%),yellow color (P<5%) and gray color (P≥ 5%).Then the disc-periphery RNFL thickness and disc cup were evaluated.Results No evident abnormality was found in the thicknesses of photoreceptors layer and bipolar cell layer in both advanced glaucomous eyes and the early stage of glaucomous eyes in the 10 patients.Serious damage of visual field was seen in the advanced glaucomous eyes and presented with red color in the parapapillary RNFL area,mGCC area and macular RNFL area,showing an evidently attenuation of the thicknesses of parapapillary RNFL,mGCC and RNFL.However,the visual field was close normal in the early stage glaucomous eyes,and mGCC and macular RNFL showed yellow color,while green or yellow color was exhibited in the parapapillary RNFL area,indicating mGCC and macular RNFL thickness was reduced,but parapapillar RNFL thickness was near normal.Conclusions The change of mGCC thickness is earlier than that of peripheral RNFL at optic disc in primary glaucomaous eyes,which may imply that the disappear of macular ganglion cell body is earlier than that of the axon.

Biotrickling filter often offers a cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional air pollutant control technologies,but major problems with clogging of the filters due to a high biomass accumulation will provent it from the industried uses.In this paper,the effect of the high biomass accumulation in an air pollution treatment with a biotrickling filter is discussed.Two parameters with specific surface area with biofilm growth(?_ f ) and the bed porosity with biofilm(?_ f )are used to analyse its principle of accumulation.Finally,some control measures including chemical methods,physical machine-made methods and other control methods are overviewed.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics, risk factors and prevention measures of nosocomial infection in senile patients with hematologic disorders. Methods The clinical data of 581 senile patients with hematologic disorders from July 2005 to June 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The nosoeomial infection rate was 30.5%(177/581). The 581cases developed nosocomial infection for 254 times [43.7% (254/581)]. Lower respiratory tract infection was the most frequent infection site, followed by intestinal infection and upper respiratory infection. The species were predominated by Gram-negative bacillus (67.1%) . The risk factors of nosocomial infection were non-remission of malignant diseases,chronic underlying diseases, long time hospitaliation, community infection, granulocytopenia, invasive manipulation and application of adrenocortical hormone and antibiotic. Conclusions The nosoeomial infection rate is high in senile patients with hematologic disorders and it can be decreased by taking prevention measures according to the risk factors.
