Objective: To determine if IFN-?2a and HSV-tk/GCV have synergy on the cell killing of the SKOV3 human ovarian tumor cell line. Methods: hytk gene retroviral vector plasmid was transduced into SKOV3 cells. Both the cytotoxicity and the bystander effect were evaluated after the treatment of GCV. IFN-?2a and HSV-tk/GCV were used together to determine if they have synergy on the tumor cell killing effect, then post-treatment cell cycle analysis was carried out.Results: A dose dependent cell killing of SKOV3/hytk was observed after treatment with GCV. Bystander effect was seen in mixed culture of hytk-positive and -negative cells. Furthermore, IFN-?2a had a significant (P

A new species of Nanhaipotamon sp. Nov. was found from the west of Xiapu County, Fujian Province in April 2008. Holotype: male, carapace length 28.2 mm, breadth 35.6 mm, thickness 20.4 mm. Allotype, female, carapace length 22.6 mm, breadth 28.7 mm, thickness 20.4 mm. Male first pleopod reached beyond tubercle of abdominal lock, not reaching to suture of sternites 4/5. Subterminal segment was about 2.4 times as terminal segment, inner horn rounded to squarish, and its outer horn pointed to the upper part of abdomen. Morphologically, this new species is distinguishable to the similar species of freshwater crabs, such as N. formosanum, N. nanriense, and N. yongchunense.

Objective:To study the clinical application and postoperative complication of double stapling technique (DST) in anus-preserving operation of low and middle rectal cancer. Method:From April 2002 to April 2006, clinical data of 75 cases with low and middle rectal cancer were analyzed retrospectively. Of those 32 cases used DST underwent sphincter-reserving operation(SPO),regard as study group;and 43 cases used SST received SPO, as control group. Clinical pathologic parameters、 postoperative complication and tumor recurrence were compared between the two groups. Results:Operation of all the 75 patients was successful without operative mortality. In DST group patients, defecation function was different from SST group after postoperative 3 and 6 months (P

Objective To investigate the score changes of graduates majoring in clinical medicine after using the method of “role of identification”. Methods Sixty students who were undertaking internship in Endocrinology Department of Shanghai Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital received three-week clinical teaching and examination. Then they got into one-week “role of identification”, and were appointed as clinical teachers to teach what they have learned during the last 3 weeks to the next batch of interns and make another examination. Scores of the two examinations were compared. Results Scores of the examination after received the method in“role of identification”improved significantly (P<0.01). Conclusion The method of“role of identification”can enhance clinical medicine graduates’ mastery of professional knowledge.

Objective To explore the role of TLR2 and TLR4 in the pathogenesis of Henoch-Schonlein purpura ( HSP) by investigating their expression at mRNA and protein levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMCs ) and their influences on Th 1/Th2 immune response in children with HSP . Methods 64 hospitalized children with HSP in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical Col -lege from October 2011 to November 2012 were enrolled in the study .They were further divided into non-He-noch-Schonlein purpura nephritis ( NHSPN ) group ( n =36 ) and Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) group (n=28).30 age-matched healthy children from Child Health Division of the same hospital were selected as controls .The expression of TLR2 and TLR4 at mRNA level in PBMCs were detected by re-al-time fluorescent polymerase chain reaction .The expression of TLR2 and TLR4 at protein level and T cells subset were detected by flow cytometry .The levels of IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-6 in plasma were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results (1)Compared with the control group , the expres-sion of TLR2 and TLR4 at mRNA and protein levels were remarkably increased in children with HSP , espe-cially in HSPN group.(2)Compared with the control group, the percentage of CD3+T cells and CD3+CD4+T cells were down-regulated in HSP group , but the percentage of CD 3+CD8+T cells and CD3+HLADR+T cells were up-regulated.(3)The level of IFN-γand the ratio of IFN-γ/IL-4 in plasma from children with HSP were significantly lower than those of the controls , while the level of IL-4 and IL-6 were remarkably higher than those of the controls .(4)The expression of TLR2 and TLR4 at protein level in PBMCs from chil-dren with HSP showed significant positive correlations with the expression of TLR 2 and TLR4 at mRNA level and plasma concentration of IL-4 and IL-6, but a negative correlation with the ratio of IFN-γ/IL-4.Conclu-sions The aberrant activation of TLR 2 and TLR4 might be correlated with the immunological pathogenesis of HSP by enhancing Th2 immune response.The hyper-activation of TLR2 and TLR4 might result in renal injury in patients with HSP .

Objective To survey the CT radiation dose to cancer patients,and to compare it with diagnostic reference level (DRL) provided by newly issued national standard.Methods Computed tomography dose index weighted (CTDIw) of 5 CT equipments was measured by the standard phantom with typical scanning protocol and radiation dose parameters including average computed tomography dose index volume (CTDIvol),dose length product (DLP),75% DLP with 900 adult and 300 pediatric cancer patients were collected.According to age stage,effective dose was estimated.Results The measured CTDIw for head scanning was on the same level with DRL,while lumbar vertebra and abdominal scanning were lower than DRL.To adults,DLP of cerebrovascular enhanced scanning and effective dose of abdominal enhanced scanning were the highest.To pediatric patients,there was no significant difference in DLP among different ages.Conclusion CTDI only reflects the dose contribution from a slice,but do not reflect the cumulative dose.For the patients need multiphase scanning,because they may be exposed to high dose,national standard should provide DLP value as the diagnostic reference level.Using individual scanning protocol is an effective method to reduce radiation dose of pediatric patient.
