AIM: To select differentially the expressed gene,glucose regulated protein 78(GRP78),to observe the expression of GRP78 in atherosclerosis tissue and to elucidate the mechanism for anti-atherosclerosis of puerarin.METHODS: The model was established by using homocysteinemia in vitro.The vascular endothelial cells were incubated with various concentrations of puerarin(10 -7 mol/L,10 -6 mol/L,10 -5 mol/L) for 48 h.The apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry using Annexin/PI-staining.GRP78 gene was amplificated by PCR.These differentially expressed fragments were cloned,selected,confirmed,and sequenced.Digoxigenin-labeled DNA Probe and cholesterol-rich rabit model were prepared,GRP78 mRNA was determined by in situ hybridization in atherosclerotic lesions and normal tissue.RESULTS: Three concentrtions of puerarin significantly inhibited the apoptosis of endothelial cells.The early apoptosis rate was decreased magnificently in a dose dependent manner compared with that of HCY group (P

Objective To investigate the risk factors for sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) after intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).Methods From January 2012 to January 2013,29 patients with histopathologically confirmed NPC who received radiotherapy alone or concurrent chemoradiotherapy were included in this study.All patients underwent hearing tests,including pure tone audiometry and acoustic immittance measurement,before and after the IMRT.The cochlear doses for each ear were also collected for analysis.A prospective analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between cochlear dose and SNHL in patients with NPC,and the effects of other factors,including time after radiotherapy,chemotherapy,T stage,and age,were also analyzed.Results Of the 58 ears studied,6(10％) had low-frequency SNHL,and 17 (29％) had highfrequency SNHL.There were significant differences in mean cochlear doses between the patients who developed SNHL after radiotherapy and those who did not (left ears:46.1 Gy vs.35.5 Gy,P =0.006;right ears:45.0 Gy vs.35.8 Gy,P =0.009).When the mean cochlear dose was less than 44 Gy,only 15％ (6/38) of ears had high-frequency SNHL.The invasion of skull base bone was also a significant risk factor for SNHL(P =0.047),but age,chemotherapy,and time after IMRT were not significant risk factors.Conclusions The mean cochlear dose and invasion of skull base bone are significant risk factors for SNHL in patients with NPC after radiotherapy.It is recommended that the mean cochlear dose should be limited to 44 Gy to minimize the incidence of SNHL after IMRT.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of L-arginine on fetal growth restriction by observing the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in placenta.Methods Sixty patients with FGR were chosen,among which 30 cases who were treated with conventional ways were as convention group,and the other 30 cases who were treated with L-arginine were as L-arginine group.The birth weight and perinatal fetus outcome were detected.The central tissue of placenta got within 10 min after delivery were fixed by 100 g/L formaldehyde and embed by pa-raffin wax to observe the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax using immunohistochemistry.SPSS 11.5 software was used to analyze the data.Results Compared with convention group,the birth weight of L-arginine group was higher(P

Objective To develop a sheet to assess infection risks in children with malignant tumors after chemotherapies.Methods A risk assessing sheet (to consult) was designed and used to consult 24 experts from 9 hospitals located in 6 provinces.After 3 rounds of expert consultation,a sheet (to try) was developed and tried by nurses in the clinic.And then a sheet (to use) was developed.Results The authority coefficient of experts was 0.79,the positive coefficient of experts was 1.00 and 0.96.The sheet (to try) developed after 3 rounds of expert consultation consisted of 30 items and was divided into 2 parts,one was about static items and the other was about dynamic items.Depending on the trying of the sheet (to try),the sheet (to use) was constituted by 8 fundamental immune state assessing items and 16 infection risk screening items.Conclusions Experts consulted in the study were quite reliable,representative and positive.The sheet (to use) seemed to have good pertinence and practicability.Further studies should be done to verify whether the sheet (to use) may help nurses to prevent children with malignant tumors from infections after chemotherapies.

Objective To investigate the clinical,electroencephalogram (EEG) and genetic features of nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE) in the Chinese population.Methods Clinical examination,EEG recording,mutation screenings in transmembrane domains 1-3 of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) α4 (CHRNA4),β2 (CHRNB2) and α2 (CHRNA2) using PCR amplification and sequencing were carried out on 6 patients and some members in 3 families with NFLE.Results Among 6 patients (5 male) with NFLE,the mean age was (20.5±11.5) years and the mean age at onset was (7.3±5.5) years.Clinical features included seizures of dystonic posturing in 2 patients and seizures of hyperkinetic movements in 4 patients with the maximum frequency of 6 seizures within one night.The ictal and interictal video-EEG (VEEG) of frontal lobes showed epileptic discharges,slow wave activity,normal activity or electrode artifacts.There weren' t abnormity in other clinical examination and neuroimagings.No mutations were identified in the genes screened.Conclusion NFLE is a heterogenetic epilepsy syndrome.
