1.Interpretation of major changes in CLSI M100-S24
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;37(4):256-260
Individualized therapy is dependent on rapid and accurate diagnosis of pathogens,and refined susceptibility reporting.The annually revised interpretive criteria of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) causes widespread concern of microbiologists.The major changes in CLSI M100-S24 are described in this article.The document mainly changed the Cefepime breakpoint for Enterobacteriaceae and introduced a new concept-- susceptible-dose dependent interpretive category.Optimizing the use of antimicrobial agents requires clinical microbiologists and clinicians to have a good knowledge of the new breakpoints.

Chinese Journal of Practical Internal Medicine 2001;0(07):-
Antithrombotic therapy is essential to success of percutaneous cardiovascular intervention(PCI)and reduction of postprocedural thrombotic complications.Antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies are central to current antithrombotic therapy.The mechanism of thrombogenesis,related factors,clinical guidelines and considerations associated with antithrombotic drugs are illustrated in this paper.

Objective:To develop the Abusive Behavior Scale for Superiors under the Chinese context (ABSSC) and test its validity and reliability.Methods:Based on literature analysis and the open questionnaire survey in 32 employees,this study defined the construct of ASBSS,and compiled the preliminary questionnaire.A sample of 200 employees coming from companies was selected for item analysis.A sample of 445 employees was investigated with this questionnaire,223 of them were assessed for exploratory factor analysis and 222 of them were assessed for confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency test with 2 week interval.Results:The ABSSC consisted of 11 items in 3 factors,which were neglect and slander,obstructionism and hard on subordinates.The 3 factors explained 55.45% of the total variance.Furthermore,the result of CFA indicated that the model fitted the data with well constmct validity (RMSEA =0.06,GFI =0.94,NFI =0.92,CFI =0.96,IFI =0.96).The Cronbach α coefficient of the whole scale and its three facts were 0.87,0.79,0.78,and 0.76,respectively.Conclusion:It suggests that the Abusive Behavior Scale for superiors under the Chinese context (ABSSC) is reliable and valid enough to be applicable to measure superiors' abusive behavior under the background of Chinese culture.

Objective This study analyzes the expression and clinical significance of Gli1 and Gli3 proteins in hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods 36 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were studied.The expressions of Gli1 and Gli3 in the carcinoma and adjacent non-tumor tissues were detected with immunohistochemical assay,and their correlations with clinicopathological factors were statistically analyzed.Results Expression rates of Gli1 in hepatocellular carcinoma and adjacent nontumor tissues were 75 % and 36.1%,respectively.Expression rates of Gli3 in hepatocellular carcinoma and adjacent non-tumor tissues were 58.3% and 30.6%,respectively.Expression rates of Gli1 and Gli3 in hepatocellular carcinoma were significantly higher than in adjacent non-tumor tissues (P<0.05),and a positive correlation was found between the expression of Gli1 and Gli3 (r=0.423,P<0.05).There was no association between the expression of Gli3 and clinicopathological factors such as age,tumor size,tumor differentiation and lymphatic metastasis.The expression of Gll1 was not related witha patient's age and tumor size,hut there were significant associations with tumor differentiation and lymphatic metastasis.Conclusions Therefore,the expression rate of Gli1 was positively correlated with tumor malignancy,which makes the detection of Gli1 and Gli3 valuable for the diagnosis and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

The expression of microRNA (miRNA) is closely related to radio-chemosensitivity in glioma stem cells (GSCs).Moreover,the growth of glioma stem cells could be inhibited comprehensively by increasing radio-chemosensitivity and apoptosis,simultaneously with the regulation of a single miRNA,which has been confirmed by some researches.Thereby microRNA is prospective for the adoption as a specific agent in targeted therapy of glioma,so as to increase the radio-chemosensitivity in glioma stem cells.

Objective: To investigate whether FasL expression by exogenous FasL gene transfer had regulatory effect on drug sensitivity of tumor cells. Methods: Exogenous Fasl, gene transfer was mediated by lipofectAMINE. The FasL expression was detected bv Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. The growth inhibition of cytotoxic drugs on tumor cells was measured by MTT assay. Fas mRNA expression was analyzed bv Semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Results: The eukaryotic expression vector, PcDNA3-FasL and PcDNA3 were successfully transteeted into MCF-7 cells. The transfectant cells was named as MCF-7/FL or MCF-7/Vt respectively. FasL was expressed on MCF-7/FL but not on MCF-7/Vt or MCF-7. The cytolysis ot MCF-7/FL induced by adriamycin at concentration of 0.625 ~ 2.5 ?g/ml, cisplatin of 1 .25 ~ 10 ?g/ml, or methotrexate of 3 ~ 6 ?g/ml respectively were all significantly enhanced compared with the cytolysis of MCF-7. Blocking FasL by using F(ab' )2-anti APO-1 antibody markedly reduced this up-regulated cytolysis induced by these drugs The significant up-regulation of Fas mRNA on MCF-7/FL was observed by Semi-quantitative RT-PCR after these drugs treatment. Conclusion: These findings indicated that FasL expression by gene transfer had up-regulation effect on drug sensitivity of tumor cells, this effect was associated with enhanced Fas expression induced by cytotoxic drugs.

Objective: To study the effect of bifidobacterium-supplemented enteral nutrition in early postoperative patients with gastric cancer. Methods: 60 patients with gastric cancer were divided into two groups: bifidobacterium-supplemented enteral nutrition(BSEN-group, 30 cases), popular enteral nutrition group(EN-group,30 cases). The patients were infused with Nutrison Fibre or bifidobacterium-supplemented Nutrison Fibre for 7 postoperative days. Results: Bifidobacterium-supplemented enteral nutrient was well tolerated. The incidence of infections was significantly lower (P = 0.01) in BSEN-group than in EN-group. Conclusion: Early postoperative enteral nutrition plus bifidobacterium can reduce the rate of postoperative infections in comparison with popular enteral nutrition.
