The family of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) belongs to the superfamily of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). It has various functions in the body. In recent years the BMPs family(especially the BMP7) has been discovered to play an important role on the genesis and development of cancer. In this article the characteristic, the mechanism and the function of BMP7 in the genesis and development of cancer are summarized.

Objective To analyze the factors that affecting peer review evaluation for National Science Foundation of China (NSFC) award application.Methods Base on the feedback of NSFC peer review experts,total 10 evaluation factors were extracted for analysis.The percentage of common problem and in application,and percentage of key criteriaconcerned by reviewers,and their effect on funding situation were analyzed.Results 10 evaluatiion factors were divided into 4 groups:core factors including research content and innovation;factors including hypothesis,budget and writing,basic factors including the significance of research and previous study,general factors including experience and capacity of applicants,research team and laboratory condition.Conclusions Analysis and evaluate of peer review factors from different angle may help applicants and administrators to improve the quality of NSFC application and evaluation.

Several signaling pathways are involved in clonal proliferation of lymphoma cells and disease progression. It has been shown that cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway, as an important intra-cellular messenger delivery system, is related to modulation of multiple physiological processes including cell prolifer-ation, secretion, metabolism and apoptosis. Manipulating the cAMP signaling pathway can induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of various malignant lymphoid cells, which involves mitochondria-dependent apoptosis and cAMP-modulated protein kinases as well as changes of intracellular mediators. In-depth research and analysis of cAMP-induced apoptosis in lymphoma cells would provide potential targets and possible therapeutic means for the treatment of lymphoma.

Objective To know the masons of delaying to receive medical treatment among patients with breast cancer, and then reference to related health education. Methods 13 patients with breast cancer were selected in this research, interviewed them by phenomenological method to know their reasons of delaying to receive medical treatment, analized the results of interview by Clolaizzi method. Results The were five themes for patients with breast cancer about delaying to receive medical treatment, they were not understand breast cancer-related knowledge, shortage of method of self-examination, psychological factors, working pressure and family factors, social environment factors. Conclusions We should strengthen breast cancer-related health education when changed women's traditional ideas and ameliorated their family and social environment.

Objective To evaluate the effect of home-based care alongside with health promotion on Wechat towards disabled centenarians, to provide the basis for improving the home and community based care towards the oldest old. Methods A total of 158 indigious centenarians in Hainan were surveyed and 78 of them who were considered disabled by Barthel criteria were selected and then divided into intervention group (with health education on Wechat platform and nursing visit) and control group (with nursing care handbook) by the serial number of them. The living quality,incidence of adverse health events and positive feeling of family care givers of two group were evaluated and compared after 6 months intervention. Results After 6 months of home- care intervention, significant statistical differences in incidence of adverse health events were found between intervention group and control group, which compromise falls (2 cases vs. 13 cases, χ2 = 8.91, P = 0.00), pain (1 case vs. 17 cases, χ2 = 17.28, P =0.00) and constipation (6 cases vs. 15 cases, χ2 = 4.75, P = 0.03). When it came to positive feeling of care givers, the scores of intervention groupwere (33.44±3.72), (36.46±4.06) points, control groupwere (28.10± 3.25), (28.15±3.15) points, significant differences were found at 3rd and 6th month′s follow-up between two groups, which t value represent 4.955 (P=0.00) and 10.142 (P=0.00), respectively. It also suggested that the differences in living quality of the elderly were statistical significant when refered to discomfortble or pain scored 1.58±0.50 and 2.37±0.63 (t=-6.154,P=0.00), and anxiety or depression scored1.73±0.64 and 2.32 ± 0.70 (t=- 3.889,P=0.00). Conclusions Health education on Wechat platform with nursing visit can enhance the effect of home- based care by improving the living quality, incidence of adverse health events of the elderly and positive feeling of family care givers.

The research was carried out to establish HPLC fingerprints of Tibetan medicinal herb "Songdi" (Saxifraga umbellulata var. pectinata), and to provide reference for identification an quality control of it. It was performed on an Amethyst-C18-P (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) column with the mobile phase of methanol-0.4% formic acid in a linear gradient mode at a flow rate of 1.0 mL x min(-1). The column temperature was 30 degrees C, and the detection wavelength was set at 254 nm. The software for chromatographic fingerprint was applied to analyse the pattern analysis, the common peaks and similarity. Cluster analysis was done based on the common peaks data of 33 samples from different plant species and sources by SPSS software. Ten common chromatographic peaks were identified by fingerprint, showing a low similarity in constituent and variety. Flavonoids and saponins were the principal components. The number and area of peaks were affected by the collection sources and method. The high similarity are showed by the samples derived from the same area with high accuracy and high purity. The method is so simple, exclusive, stable and high repeatable that it can provide reference for identification and quality assessment of "Songdi" (S. umbellulata var. pectinata).
