Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), as a nuclear transcription regulator of the hypoxic response, is up-regulated during hypoxia, and it regulates a series of downstream target gene expression, such as vascular endothelial growth factor, glucose transporter and erythropoietin through binding with hypoxia response element. It plays important roles in angiogenesis, anerobic metabolism, cell survival, proliferation, migration, and differentiation.This article reviews the structure, function and activity regulation of HIF-1 and its roles in acute ischemic brain injury.

Objective To study the clinical therapeutic effects of early rehabilitation training combined with acupuncture on dysphagia after acute cerebral infarction.Methods One hundred patients with dysphagia caused by acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into 4 groups:a comprehensive treatment group(25 cases,received rehabilitation training,acupuncture and routine medication),a routine drug group(25 cases,routine medication),a rehabilitation group(25 cases,received comprehensive rehabilitation training and routine mediciation)and an acu-puncture group(25 cases,received acupuncture therapy and routine medication).Dysphagia was evaluated with videofluoroscopic swallowing study(VFSS),and the incidence of pneumonia was observed before treatment and at the 14th day after daily treatment. Results After treatment,the VFSS scores of the 4 groups were significantly higher than before treatment,and VFSS scores in the comprehensive treatment group were significantly higher than those in the other groups.The effectiveness rate in the comprehensive treatment group was significantly higher than that in the other three groups.and the incidence of pneumonia was significantly lower.Conclusions Early rehabilitation com-bined with acupuncture can improve swallowing and reduce the incidence of aspiration pneumonia in acute stroke pa-tients.

Objective To explore the Kano model analysis in the application of midwife outpatient service quality management. Methods Kano questionnaire was consisted of 24 items, including five parts, environment facilities, service evaluation, service technology, the team service, delivery service′quality. Using the Kano model analysis, the impact factors of the midwife outpatient service quality in five different quality attributes were determined. It included property and had the opposite answer to the question, charisma, essential properties and one property. Results By identifing the quality index classification of the pregnant women with satisfactory service quality to midwife outpatient service, attributable to a property were 1,2,3,4,8,9,10,14,20,21;attributable to mandatory attributes were 13, belonging to the charm of the property had 5,6,7,11,12,15,16,17,18,19,22,23,24. Midwives outpatient had most of charisma attribute, 54.2%(13/24) of the total;The second was one attribute, 41.7% (10/24) of the total. The technology level of midwife was essential attribute. Conclusions Kano mode analysis technology will be introduced to the midwife outpatient service quality management to provide decision reference for improving the quality of the hospital management level, improve maternal satisfaction, improve the obstetric operation efficiency.

Objective To screen monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for early diagnosis of invisive Aspergillus. Methods Monoclonal antibodies against different antigens of Aspergillus fumigatus were produced. The two pairs of combinations of monoclonal antibodies were selected accoring the distinct epitopes and double-antibody sandwich ELISA based on mAbs above were established. The sensitivity and specificity of the methods were analyzed by detecting culture supernatants of clinical isolates and environmental isolatesof Aspergillus. spp, Penicillium Marneffei, Candidas, and serum from animal models and patients. The epitopes recognized by mAbs were identified by immunobotting. Results A total of 32 hybridoma cell lines that stably produced MAbs were obtained. Two double- antibody sandwich ELISAs were established. One method was specific for 19 clinical isolates and environmental isolates of Aspergillus. spp, whereas the other one was specific for the clinical and environmental isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus without cross-reation with other Aspergillus. spp. For the same kind of medium of Aspergillus fumigatus, the sensitivity of the first method was 10 fold higher than the second method. Conclusions The specific mAbs for early diagnosis of invisive Aspergillus were obtained. Antigen recognized by the specific mAbs was mannoprotein with molecular weights of approximately 25 000-75 000. This antigen was potential early diagnostic marker for invasive Aspergillus.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of radioactive pancreatic duct stents implanted in the pancreatic ducts of pigs by endoscopy. Methods Different doses of 125I radioactive pancreatic duct stents were implanted in the pancreatic ducts of pigs by endoscopy. Blood tests were conducted before and after implantation. 14,30 and 60 days after implantation of the radioactive stents, the pigs were euthanized in batch. All animals underwent post modem examination to exclude intra-abdominal hemorrhage,pancreatic fistula or peritonitis. During autopsy,the liver,bile ducts,head of the pancreas,stomach and duodenum were examined for perforation,stricture or dilation and damage of the surrounding structures.Results Fourteen pigs were implanted with pancreatic duct stents by endoscopic procedures.There was no effusion,hemorrhage or necrosis in the adjacent duodenum,stomach,liver or right kidney.The noral morphological structures of the duct of Wirsung disappeared in all the treated pigs.Histopathological examination revealed that the stents were surrounded by necrotic tissue and outside fibrous tissue. During the follow-up period, the width of outside fibrous tissue gradually increased. There were no serious abnormalities noted in the blood tests after implantation. Conclusion It is indicated that the radioactive stents are safe in all the difierent dose groups. For future clinical application, it is feasible to design a special radioactive stent for each patient according to the size,shape and position of the pancreatic tumor.

BACKGROUND:Borosilicate cannot only be mineralized to form hydroxy carbonate apatite layer, but also have strong chemical reactivity to promote bone cel regeneration. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of the borosilicate bioglass on the growth behavior of rabbit osteoblasts through in vitro culture experiment. METHODS:The initial and secondary extracts of borosilicate bioglass were prepared according to the requirement of ISO10993-12: 2007. The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels of rabbits were isolated and cultured. The second generation bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were induced to differentiate into osteoblasts. The osteoblasts of the 5th-15th RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The osteoblasts proliferation in the initial extract and secondary extract groups was better than that in the α-MEM medium group (P < 0.05). The osteoblasts proliferation in the initial extract group was better than that in the secondary extract group (P < 0.05). The total protein content of osteoblasts in the initial extract group was higher than that in the secondary extract and α-MEM medium group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the alkaline phosphatase activity, apoptosis rate, horizontal migration distance of osteoblast and transmembrane cel number in Transwel between these three groups. These results demonstrate that borosilicate bioglass has good biocompatibility and has a certain benign regulatory role in generations were obtained and cultured with the initial and secondary extracts of borosilicate bioglass and α-MEM medium, respectively. The effects of borosilicate bioglass on the osteoblasts proliferation, protein synthesis, alkaline phosphatase activity, cel apoptosis, and cel migration in horizontal and vertical direction were observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The osteoblasts proliferation in the initial extract and secondary extract groups was better than that in the α-MEM medium group (P < 0.05). The osteoblasts proliferation in the initial extract group was better than that in the secondary extract group (P < 0.05). The total protein content of osteoblasts in the initial extract group was higher than that in the secondary extract and α-MEM medium group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the alkaline phosphatase activity, apoptosis rate, horizontal migration distance of osteoblast and transmembrane cell number in Transwell between these three groups.
