By searching relevant data from the PubMed database, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database and Wanfang database, a comprehensive analysis and review regarding acupuncture for cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury (CIRI) in recent 10 years were performed. The results showed that acupuncture could inhibit the inflammatory reaction, reduce oxidative stress injury, restrain brain edema formation, inhibit apoptosis, promote neural and vascular regeneration, etc. Acupuncture methods used included electroacupuncture, scalp acupuncture, eye acupuncture and "consciousness-restoring resuscitation needling", etc. The existing problem was that the intervention action of acupuncture was mainly focused on inhibiting inflammatory reaction and oxidative stress injury, and the study on apoptosis and neural and vascular regeneration was needed. It is suggested that from the aspect of multiple target points, the intervention mechanism of acupuncture for CIRI should be systemically studied in the future, which could provide new idea for clinical diagnosis and treatment on ischemic cerebrovascular diseases.

The theory of planned behavior is used to study physician's behavior of clinical pathway compliance,on which the model of decision making mechanism for such compliance was built.This aims at exploring the relationship between the behavioral risk factors,behavioral belief and behavioral intention, and the occurrence,and recommend on further regulation of physicians'behavior and policies in hospital management.

Objective: To study the effect of down-regulation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (EIF 4E ) induced by the siRNA expression plasmid on the proliferation and cell cycle of human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Methods: The siRNA expression plasmid pGPU6/GFP/Neo-EIF4E was constructed and then transfected into breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells by LipofectAMINE2000. The expressions of EIF4E and cyclin D1 mRNAs and proteins were examined by RT-PCR, Western blotting and the immunocytochemistry method, respectively. The MTT method, plate colony formation assay and flow cytometry were performed to detect the proliferation ability, cell colony formation rate and cell cycle distribution of MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with siRNA expression plasmid. Results: The siRNA expression plasmid pGPU6/GFP/Neo-EIF4E was constructed successfully. The expressions of EIF4E and cyclin D1 mRNAs and proteins were all decreased markedly after transfection with pGPU6/GFP/Neo-EIF4E (P <0.05). The growth of MDA-MB-231 cells in the pGPU6/GFP/Neo-EIF4E-tranfected group was inhibited and the cell colony formation rate was statistically decreased (P<0.05) as compared with those in the blank control and the pGPU6/GFP-transfected groups. The result of flow cytometry showed that the percentage of cells in G1 phase in the pGPU6/GFP/Neo-EIF4E-tranfected group was higher than that in the blank control group (71.30%±0.47% vs 53.10%±0.43%); however, the percentage of cells in S phase was signifcantly lower (12.53%±0.13% vs 26.47%±0.38%, P <0.05). Conclusion: EIF 4E siRNA can downregulate EIF 4E gene expression in human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells, suppress cell proliferation to some extent, and increase the number of cells in G1 phase with a decreased number of cells in S phase. EIF 4E gene may become one of the important molecular targets to breast cancer. Copyright© 2011 by the Editorial Board of Tumor.

Infection rate was high in children with hematologic cancers and febrile neutropenia,especially the number of drug-resistant bacteria showed an increasing trend.Because of defects of the immune function,the typical symptoms,pathogenic bacteria and infection was not clear in these children,the fever may be the only sign of serious underlying infection,mortality related with infection was high,so it was important to evalute the clinical risk accuratly and select antibiotic properly.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of periodontic treatment in type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM ) with chronic periodontitis on basis of hypoglycemic therapy. Methods From September 2011 to January 2014 ,120 T2DM patients with chronic periodontitis were selected and divided into treatment group and control group with 60 cases in each group. Patients in control group were treated with conventional hypoglycemic therapy. Patients in treatment group were treated with initial periodontal therapy additionally on basis of conventional hypoglycemic therapy. Probing depth (PD) ,attachment loss (AL) ,plaque index (PLI) ,bleeding index (BI) and hypersensitive C reactive protein (hsC‐RP) levels were compared before and after 6 weeks treatment. Results PD ,AL ,PLI ,BI ,and hsC‐RP levels had no significant difference between two groups before treatment (P>0.05). PD ,AL ,PLI ,BI and hsC‐RP levels after treatment in treatment group were all significantly decreased [PD :(2.11 ± 0.28) vs (2.51 ± 0.68) and (2.42 ± 0.31) mm ;AL :(3.18 ± 0.41) vs (3.58 ± 0.83) and (3.49 ± 0.58) mm ;PLI:(0.41 ± 0.21) vs (0.96 ± 0.33) and (0.78 ± 0.26);BI:(0.97 ± 0.32) vs (2.65 ± 1.21) and (1.14 ± 0.30);hsC‐RP :(1.02 ± 0.63) vs (3.29 ± 2.88) and (2.72 ± 1.51) mg/L] as compared with those before treatment in treatment group and those after treatment in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Levels of inflammatory factors will decrease when periodontic treatment is added to the antidiabetic therapy in T 2DM patients with chronic periodontitis.

Autoimmune hypophysitis is an inflammation of the pituitary gland resulting from autoimmune response, which can be classified as primary hypophysitis and secondary hypophysitis according to the etiology.The clinical presentation includes hypopituitarism and a pituitary mass.The diagnosis is based on clinical findings and radiology, while the pathology serves as the golden standard.The treatment is aimed at reducing the size of the pituitary mass, replacing the defective hormones and decreasing hyperprolactinemia.This review is about the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of lymphocytic hypophysitis, hypophysitis secondary to cytotoxic T-4 blockade, and IgG4-related hypophysitis.

ObjectiveTo observe the efficacy of electroacupuncture with different wave patterns, sparse wave, intense wave, and sparse-intense wave, on the therapeutic efficacy in treating mild cognitive disorder after ischemic stroke.MethodSixty eligible patients were randomized into a sparse wave group, an intense wave group, and a sparse-intense wave group, 20 in each group. The three groups were given electroacupuncture at Baihui (GV20) and Shenting (GV24) in addition to the basic acupuncture treatment.The Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) were adopted for evaluation before and after the intervention by the same practitioner.ResultThe total effective rate was 55.0% in the sparse wave group, 65.0% in the intense wave group, and 90.0% in the sparse-intense wave group, and thedifferenceswere statistically significant among the three groups (P<0.05); afterintervention, the MMSE score increased significantly and ADL score decreased significantly in the three groups (P<0.01), and the inter-group differences were statistically significant after intervention(P<0.01).ConclusionElectroacupuncture with sparse wave, intense wave, or sparse-intense wave all can improve mild cognitive disorder, while the general therapeutic efficacy of sparse-intense wave is higher than sparse wave and intense wave.

B-cell translocation gene/transducer of erbB2 (BTG/TOB) protein family is a new antiproliferative protein family.Recent studies have found that BTG/TOB family is absent obviously in many tumor tissue specimens,such as lung cancer,breast cancer and thyroid cancer,and contributes to the genesis and progression of various malignancies.

BACKGROUND: High blood lipid can cause a series of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, which has been commonly accepted.OBJECTIVE: To probe into the rule of changes of blood lipid of the elders in aging process.DESIGN: Cross section survey.SETTING: Department of Nutrition, Shanghai Huadong Hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Totally 605 employees who took part in body examination and participated this experiment voluntarily from July 2000 to August 2004, were recruited, including 541 males and 64 females, 91 patients ＜ 70 years , 514 ≥ 70 years, 271 patients having the history of coronary heart disease, 83 of malignant tumors, and 251 of other diseases.METHODS: Blood lipid level of totally 605 who accepted physical examination was detected, at the same times, the disease history and common physical examination status were inquired. Venous blood of the patients was drawn after fasting over 12 hours, separating serum on the morning of the same day. Total cholesterol and triacylglycerol of the blood were detected with enzyme assay by using Automated Biochemistry Analyzer. Total cholesterol: 3.6-6.5 mmol/L; triglyceride: 0.4-1.8 mmol/L were considered as normal level, Total cholesterol: ＞ 5.72 mmol/L;Triglyceride: ＞1.72 mmol/L were considered as abnormal criteria.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparison of the blood lipid index of the subjects of different age, disease type and gender RESULTS: Totally 605 elders were involved and all data of them was enthe blood lipid index of the subjects of different age: Peak of total cholesterol appeared at 70 to 74 years, then decreases gradually, the total cholesterol level of the subjects of 70 to 74 years was significantly higher than that at other age (P ＜ 0.05). While Triglyceride level had the trend of going up with growing older, except that of 75-79 ages group slightly went eases: The level of total cholesterol and triglyceride of the subjects in the malignant tumor group was lower than that of other disease groups, level of triglyceride of the subjects in the coronary heart disease was higher than detection rate of blood lipid of the subjects: Detection rate of total cholesterol was 15.5%, while that of triglyceride was 35.9%. There was no significant difference of the detection rate between male and female subjects (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Change of blood lipid metabolism of elder with aging is related to the hormone change of different genders and disease types.
