Objective To investigate the relationship between the level of 8-iso-prostaglandin (8-iso-PG)F2αand the neural functional deficit in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods Sixty-seven ACI patients were se-lected in Neurological Department of Ganyu People’s Hospital. According to the age, these subjects were divided into two groups:the old group (≥60 years, n=37) and middle-young group (<60 years, n=30). Thirty healthy subjects were selected as controls (≥60 years). The age, gender and anamnesis were matched in two groups of elderly people. The ELISA was used to detect the plasma levels of 8-iso-PGF2αin two groups of patients. And NIHSS score was used to evaluate the severity of clinical neurological deficit. Results The plasma levels of 8-iso-PGF2α were significantly higher in old ACI group (506.38±138.63) ng/L than those of middle-young ACI group (420.18±132.72) ng/L and old control group (369.98±99.81) ng/L. There was no significant difference in plasma level of 8-iso-PGF2αbetween middle-young ACI group and old control group (F=9.272,P<0.05). The NIHSS score was significantly higher in old group (19.78±3.66) than that of middle-young group (17.73 ± 2.70, t=2.539,P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between plasma 8-iso-PGF2α level and NIHSS score in old group (r=0.504,P=0.001). Conclusion The oxidative stress plays an important role in the occurrence and de-velopment process of ACI in elderly patients. The earlier and reasonable antioxidant therapy plays a positive role to alleviate the clinical symptoms and promote the recovery of illness.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving the service quality of outpatient pharmacy in hospital. METH-ODS:A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate and analyze the patients’satisfaction and related influential factors to outpatient pharmacy in a third grade class-A hospital in Chengdu. RESULTS:Totally 165 questionnaires were sent out,and 150 were effectively received with effective recovery of 90.91%. The total score for patients’satisfaction was (44.67 ± 7.81) scores, and the rate of satisfaction was(81.22±14.19)%. The top three entries were“the will you choose to come to our hospital again if necessary”,“the notices about time and place for taking the medicine”and“the overall evaluation of the professional ethics of med-ical staff”,scored 4.38,4.25 and 4.25,respectively;the last three entries were“waiting time for taking medicine”,“the notices about how long it takes to take the medicine”and“service facilities and environmental facilities for drug taking”,scored 3.55, 3.63 and 3.95,respectively. The top three suggestions were“long waiting time for taking medicine and inconvenient”,“noisy envi-ronment,bad order”and“expensive drugs charges but less reimburse”. The univariate analysis and multivariate analysis showed that gender,age,marital status,education,occupation,family income per month,resident,drug taking times and payment etc. factors showed no significant effects on patients’satisfaction scores(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The degree of patients’satisfac-tion in outpatient pharmacy have no obvious specificity and preference,the key to improve the degree of satisfaction lies on strengthening the service of the hospital and the perception of the patients. While the next research will focus on how to find the breakthrough points and key points to improve the experience of waiting,standardize process management and logistics manage-ment,and make patients aware of the service development.

To observe the proliferation of T lymphocytes stimulated by CML and AML cells which were induced by rhGM-CSF and rhIL-4, and the secretion of IFN-gamma from proliferated T lymphocytes, the expression of CD80, CD86 and HLA-DR on CML and AML cells induced by GM-CSF and IL-4 was assayed by flow cytometry in vitro. Then one-way mixed lymphocyte reaction was carried out, with induced leukemia cells as stimulating cells and auto-T lymphocytes as reactive cells. The secretion of IFN-gamma from T lymphocytes was determined by double antibody sandwich ELISA. The results showed that GM-CSF and IL-4 significantly upregulated the expression of CD80, CD86 and HLA-DR on CML cells and CD80 and CD86 on AML cells, which could stimulate the T lymphocyte proliferation and high secretion of IFN-gamma (in CML group) of autologous T lymphocytes. It is concluded that the CML and AML cells induced by GM-CSF and IL-4 have the ability to present tumor specific antigen to auto-T lymphocyte.

A sensitive determination method for sulfur mustard ( HD ) metabolites thiodiglycol ( TDG ) in rabbit urine was established and validated using isotope dilution negative ion chemical ionization ( NICI) gas chromatography-mass spectrometry ( GC-MS ) , in which deuterated thiodiglycol ( TDG-d8 ) was used as internal standard. Two solid-phase extraction ( SPE) steps were established and optimized in order to reduce the interfering backgrounds, one was used to extract thiodiglycol ( TDG ) from urine with self-assemblied Florisil SPE cartridges, another cleaning treatment of the by-products after pentafluorobenzoyl chloride (PFBZ) derivatization. The results showed that the limits of detection quantitation of this method were 0. 1 and 0. 3 μg/L, respectively. The exposure time-response relationship and exposure dose-response relationship of TDG in rabbit urine were studied after rabbit skin exposure to sulfur mustard (HD, 0. 02-0. 15 LD50). The TDG levels in the rabbit urine increased rapidly during the first day after application and then decreased over time for all dosage groups. A secondary release was also noted for the high-dose group, and the duration of high TDG excretion levels was correlated positively with the HD dosage levels. We thus concluded that abnormally high levels of TDG in urine could be used as a clear diagnostic indicator of HD exposure.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the efficacy and safety of oral fludarabine in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL).
METHODS:
The patients received oral fludarabine 40 mg/(m2.d) for 5 consecutive days, each treatment lasting 4 weeks. The efficacy was assessed with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) criteria for response.
RESULTS:
Twenty-two patients received the treatment, a median of 4 cycles per patient. The rate of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and overall response (OR) was 40.9% (9/22), 45.5% (10/22), and 86.4% (19/22), respectively. Among the 17 previously untreated patients, 7 (41.2%) achieved CR and 8 (47.0%) achieved PR. Two of the 5 pre-treated patients achieved CR and the other 2 achieved PR. During a median observation of 24 months, the overall survival rate was 81.8%. The main adverse reactions were myelosuppression and infection. Grade 1 to 3 granulocytopenia was found in 7 (31.8%) patients, and infection in 3 (13.6%) patients. Nonhematologic toxicity was mild. All the adverse reactions were reversible.
CONCLUSION
The oral fludarabine is effective, safe, and well-tolerated in the patients with CLL/ SLL.

OBJECTIVE:
To screen and identify the frequency and characteristic of mutation in stereocilium-related gene Taperin of Chinese prelingual nonsyndromic hearing impairment with DNA microarray combined with PCR.
METHOD:
One hundred and thirty-four patients of prelingual nonsyndromic deafness and one hundred health individuals in China were investigated in this study. Genomic DNA was extracted from the patients and was subjected to DNA microarray to screen mutations in 4 most common genes. The samples that carried none of the common mutant alleles were subjected to PCR and sequenced to detect mutations in Taperin gene.
RESULT:
Ninteen out of one hundred and thirty-four patients of prelingual nonsyndromic deafness were detected carring common deafness gene with DNA microarray. Taperin gene were detected in one hundred and fifteen patients with PCR. A187S was detected in Taperin as hetrozygous state in 2 patients and their unaffected members of their family. It occurred at the evolutionary conservation of the amino acids of taperin according to alignment analysis. Two polymorphism, 157C>T and 318C>T, were found in the patients and the control group.
CONCLUSION
A novel Taperin mutation, A187S was detected in Chinese patients with prelingual nonsyndromic hearing loss, which may be relevant to hearing loss. Two polymorphism, 157C>T and 318C>T, were found in Chinese in our research. The carrier frequency for Taperin mutation is about 1.74% of prelingual nonsyndromic deafness in Chinese patients.

BACKGROUND:Neuroblastoma is a common solid tumor in children. Pediatric tumors are little affected by environmental factors, but closely related to child development. The suspension method is an effective and reliable method to harvest neoplastic stem cel s.
OBJECTIVE:To culture the cel clones of human neuroblastoma cel line SK-N-SH and to assess the biological properties of the cel clones.
METHODS:Using the suspension method with no serum media, tumor cel clones were obtained. Immunofluorescence method was used to identify whether tumor cel clones exhibit stem cel properties. SK-N-SH neuroblastoma was labeled by luciferase, and tumor cel clones and tumor cel s were seeded onto the back of nude mice to monitor cel proliferative properties in nude mice using in vivo imaging.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Using the suspension culture method, SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cel s could successful y develop into cloning bal s. Under serum-free culture, cloning bal s were immunofluorescently used to detect molecular markers that showed strong positive expression. Cloning bal s subcutaneously implanted into
nude mice showed the strong ability of self-renewal and differentiation as stem cel s. The cel clones cultured by the suspension method strongly expressed Nestin, but weakly expressed glial fibril ary acidic protein, neuron-specific tubulin, possessing stem cel characteristics and strong proliferation and metastasis in nude mice.
