Flowering, the floral transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth, is induced by diverse endogenous and exogenous cues, such as photoperiod, temperature, hormones and age. Precise flowering time is critical to plant growth and evolution of species. The numerous renewal molecular and genetic results have revealed five flowering time pathways, including classical photoperiod pathway, vernalization pathway, autonomous pathway, gibberellins (GA) pathway and newly identified age pathway. These pathways take on relatively independent role, and involve extensive crosstalks and feedback loops. This review describes the complicated regulatory network of this floral transition to understand the molecular mechanism of flowering and provide references for further research in more plants.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of vertical incision for breast surgery.Methods According to Lejour method,the first breast shape on the patients who needed operation was designed,and make a mark line corresponding to the breast,and then removal of excess tissue during the operation,operation process should pay attention to the protection of important part of breast of vessels and nerves,to prevent the impact of breast lactation function.Results The operation in 48 patients with breast because of too much too small in patients with 2 cases,1 cases of patients areola was too large,the patients were followed up survey,all the patients were satisfied with the operation of the breast shape,1 cases of operation the scar not satisfied,then the operation scar resection of operation after further results were satisfied,the total satisfaction rate was 98%.Conclusion Breast reconstruction process using vertical incision method for patients with relatively small,less bleeding,almost did not affect the normal function of patients with breast,breast shape is preferred for patients with operation scheme.

Tumor multidrug resistance (MDR) is the leading cause of clinical chemotherapy failure and death.Researches show that the occurrence of MDR is related to P-glycoprotein,multidrug resistance-associated proteins,breast cancer resistance-associated proteins,lung resistance-related proteins and other factors.Now the reversal strategies of MDR include chemical drugs reversal,gene reversal,immune reversal,traditional Chinese medicine reversal and drug-loaded nano-system reversal,which make some progress and help to improve the effect of cancer chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the antibiotic-resistant gene mecA and the prevalence of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) gene, toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST-Ⅰ) gene in S. aureus. Methods A total of 74 S. aureus were collected from clinical specimens. The mecA, PVL and TSST-Ⅰ genes were detected by PCR.Results PVL gene was identified in 22 S. aureus isolates. The prevalence of PVL was 29.7% in S. aureus, 36.6% in MRSA and 21.2% in MSSA. The difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The prevalence of MRSA was 55.4% in 74 S. aureus. The prevalence of TSST-Ⅰ gene was 6.8%. TSST-Ⅰ gene was not detected in MSSA.Conclusions MRSA strains show highly resistant to antibiotics. PVL- and TSST-Ⅰ-positive S. aureus are more pathogenic.

Vaspin,a serine protease inhibitor derived from visceral adipose tissue,has been identified as an adipokine with insulin-sensitizing effects in a rat model of type 2 diabetes.Recent studies showed that the administration of recombinant human vaspin significantly improved insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance,and reversed the expression of genes that may promote insulin resistance in diet-induced obese mice.However,the regulation of serum vaspin concentration in individuals with insulin resistance,and the association of vaspin with obesity,type 2 diabetes,and insulin resistance related disorders remain unclear.

Protein kinase C (PKC) is a group of phospholipid-dependent serine/threonine protein kinases, which togeth-er with protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase G (PKG) constitute a superfamily of serine/threonine protein kinase AGC. PKC includes classic PKC, novel PKC, atypical PKC and some members of kinase associated with PKC (PRK). PKC is wide-ly distributed in mammalian tissues and cells, which plays an important biological role in growth and metabolism, prolifera-tion and differentiation of cells. A series of studies have demonstrated that variations of multiple cells, occurrence and devel-opment of diseases are related to the abnormal expression of PKC. Therefore, designing and searching for efficient PKC inhib-itors have very important implications for synthesis of many kinds of effective drugs and treatment of a variety of clinical dis-eases including cancer, cardiovascular, and hypertension, et al. In recent years, the research on PKC inhibitors has become the focus of domestic and foreign research. A large number of literatures have reported many kinds of effective PKC inhibi-tors, and analyzed their function site, mechanism, clinical trial data and so on. The discovery of these PKC inhibitors has im-portant implications for structural analysis of PKC and the treatment of diseases. So in this paper, the efficient PKC inhibi-tors are summarized.

Objective To research the reasonable perfusion flow of cardiopulmonary bypass during aortic arch procedure of patients with acute type A aortic dissection.Methods Forty patients suffered from acute Stanford type A aortic dissection had been divided into two groups randomly.Group A named traditional perfusion flow group,group B named modified perfusion flow group.Monitoring cerebral blood flow and cerebral tissue oxygen during deep hyperthermia circulatory arrest and antegrade aelective cerebral perfusion procedure by transcranial doppler(TCD) and near-infrared spectroscopy(NIRS).The concentration of S100 protein and lactic acid was measured at six time point.Results Statistical difference of mean blood flow velocity of MCA had been found between two group 3 min after total flow reperfusion.TOI was more tban 60% during study in both of groups.S100 protein in group A was significantly higher than group B at T6,T7 and T8.Statistical difference of blood lactic concentration had been found between two groups,(4.88± 1.62) mmol/L in group A,(3.83± 1.48) mmol/L in group B,P < 0.05.Safe consciousness time between two groups was difference,(7.36± 2.86) h in group A and (5.27± 3.11) h in group B,P < 0.05.Conclusion Compared with the traditional perfusion flow,modified perfusion flow can provide sufficient cerebral perfusion and prevent the luxury perfusion.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the chemical constituents of the ear of Schizonepeta mulifida (L.)Briq. METHODS:Ingredients of the ear of this plant were separated by means of solvent extraction and chromatography on silica gel and polyamide and activated charcoal. RESULTS:Three components were isolated. Their structures were elucidated based on the spectral analysis. One of them is a known compound i.e. dehydrosylvestrene (V). The other two were new compound,named neoenneaanetetraoic acid (Ⅶ),and 3-imino-N-nitrogen substituted acetamide cyclic buty amide (Ⅷ). CONCLUSION:These 3 compounds were isolated from the plant for the first time.By the way, a mixture of n-alkane was also obtained which contains seventeen n-alkane compounds proved by GC-MS.
