Patients with ataxia-telangiectasia ( A-T) syndrome were charachaterized by profound hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation in clinic. Many studies have shown that this hypersensitivity possibly attributed to ATM gene whose critical compartment was ATM kinase. So inhibitors of the ATM kinase such as caffeine, pentoxifylline, methyl xanthines and 7-hydroxystaurosporine (UCN-01) were developed and have achieved a few encouraging results in basic and clinical stuides.

The health inspection and quarantine specialty is a new undergraduate specialty published by Ministry of Education in 2012.But the health inspection professional or preventive medicine (health inspection subspectialty) set in our country put more emphasis on the content of health inspectionor medical examination,rarely involved in the Quarantine content.Therefore,according to the new professional requirements and training objectives,combined with other quarantine specialty course teaching experience and the disciplinary characteristics,we explored a feasible way to develop the discipline and training,from the health and quarantine courses setting,teaching theory,teaching practice,teaching evaluation and management aspects.

Objective To study the effect of ATRA and IFN? on growth and differentiation of SH-SY5Y cell line and the possible molecular mechanisms.Methods The expression of TrkA mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.Trypan blue exclusion was used to detect the antiproliferative effect of ATRA,IFN?and ATRA +IFN? on SY5Y cells.Morphologic changes were observed using phase-contrast microscopy.Results TrkA mRNA was upregulated by ATRA and IFN?.ATRA and IFN? could induce morphological differentiation and inhibit growth of SY5Y cells.The combination of ATRA+IFN? enhanced the induced differentiation and growth inhibition of SY5Y cells.Conclusion Synergistic effects of ATRA and IFN? on growth inhibition and inducing differentiation in SY5Y cells are observed and this may result from upregulating the expression of TrkA mRNA.

Objective To investigate platelet counts and acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis correlation analysis and possible influential factors.Methods Data of 117 patients from October 2012 to October 2015 treated in our hospital,of whom 57 with acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis and 60 with common acute cholangitis were analyzed retrospectively to explore whether there was a correlation between thrombocytopenia (100 × 109/L) and AOSC,then experimental and control groups were established according to thrombocytopenia in the AOSC patients.The patient's age,sex,previous biliary surgery,white blood cells(WBC) count after admission within 6h,the percentage of neutrophils (NEU%),calcitonin (PCT) were retrospectively analyzed to further explore the influence factors of thrombocytopenia in AOSC patients.Results By comparison with the common acute cholangitis group,thrombocytopenia in AOSC group had obvious difference (P =0.01).In experimental group,NEU%,PCT had statistical difference compared with those in control group (P < 0.05),and the patient's age,sex,previous biliary surgery,white blood cells(WBC) after admission within 6h count had no statistical significance.The logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that,NEU%,PCT were the independent predictors.Conclusion Correlated with AOSC,thrombocytopenia can be valued as indicators of the severity of acute cholangitis.In AOSC patients,NEU%,PCT were independent predictors of thrombocytopenia.

In this study,we isolated and characterized chlorobenzene degrading bacteria from the effluent and sludge samples of one chemical plant.Minimal medium supplemented with chlorobenzene as sole car-bon source was used during the enrichment and domestication process.Seven major bacterial isolates were obtained and purified.Their 16S rRNA genes were amplified by PCR for sequencing and their identities were determined with homology comparisons.Five of the seven isolates belong to Actinomycetales in-cluding Kocuria KD139,Rhodococcus KD140,Rhodococcus KD142,Arthrobacter KD230,and Ar-throbacter KD232;one is classified as Bacillus d KD178;and another one as Stenotrophomonas KD237.The phylogenetic tree was also constructed based on the analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences.Chloro-benzene concentrations were quantified with gas chromatography to investigate the bio-degradation rates of the isolated strains.Stenotrophomonas KD237 degraded 60.78% chlorobenzene in the minimal medium within 24 h.

OBJECTIVE To identify the possible risk factors for the development of surgical site infection (SSI). METHODS A total of 218 consecutive patients who received open cholecystectomy due to gallbladder disease and stone of common bile duct during from the Jun to Dec in 2007 were included in the study. The potential risk factors including clinical features,biochemical data,operative types and incision types were analyzed by univariate analysis. RESULTS The overall incidence of SSI was 5.04%.The incidence of SSI in cholecystectomy alone group was lower than in cholecystectomy with exploration of common bile duct group (10.9% vs 3.1%,P=0.022).The incidence of SSI in emergency group was higher than that in selective operation group (12.5% vs 3.8%,P=0.037). The incidence of SSI among patients with white blood cell count more than 10.0?109 befove surgery was higher (12.2% vs 3.0%,P=0.025). The incidence was 1.5%,6.1% and 26.3%,respectively,for patients with Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ types incision (P=0.000). CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that risk factors for the development of SSI after open cholecystectomy include operation manner,operation type,incision type and preoperative leucocyte count.

Objective To evaluate treatment outcomes and quality of life (QOL) in glioma patients treated with postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), and to explore the possible clinical factors of affecting QOL. Methods From 2007 to 2009, 37 patients with low or high grade glioma were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were operated by tumor resection below microscopy. IMRT began at 2-4 week postoperstion with 2.0 Gy/fractior, 5 fractions/week and to shrink portal and to add dose to 50-60 Gy/25-30 fractions after 40-50 Gy. The gross tumor volume (GTV) was defined as preoperation T2WI MRI high sign area and postoperation tumor cavity for low grade glioma, and with preoperation T1WI MRI enhanced abnormity area and postoperation tumor cavity for high grade glioma. The clinical target volume ( CTV ) was defined as GTV with a margin of 1.5 cm for low grade glioma and a margin of 2.5 cm for high grade ghoma, the planning target volume (PTV) with CTV plus 0.4 cm margin for setup errors according to the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer ( EORTC ).The treatment outcomes and QOL were assessed. Results The half-year and one-year survival rates for all the patients were 100% and 79.2%, respectively. The median progression-free survival time was 10 months. The main side-responses after postoperative IMRT were fatigue and mild memory decline or cognitive disabilities, which were radiation dose-dependent. Conclusions Postoperative IMRT is an effective and safe modality of therapy for glioma patients.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of color ultrasound guided coarse needle bioptic histo-pathology in the diagnosis of retroperitoneal solid mass. Methods 32 cases with retroperitoneal solid mass accepted coarse needle biopsy (CNB) guided by color ultrasound, and followed to surgical mass resection. The histopathologi-cal result of CNB was compared to the post-operative pathological diagnosis. Results CNB were successful in all ca-ses and no complications occurred. Compared with the pest-operative pathology,the accuracy of CNB was 93.75% (30/32). There was no false-negative and very low rate of false-positive (3.13% ,1/32) of CNB in diagnosing ma-lignant tumor. Conclusions CNB guided by color ultrasound is a safe and an effective method in diagnosis of retro-peritoneal solid mass.
