Urine provides an alternative to blood plasma as a potential source of disease biomarkers. Exosomes was separated by ultracentrifuge at 200000 g in normal persons and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients′ urine. For proteomic analysis of urinary exosome, 1D sodium dodecylsulfonate-polyacrylate gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) was carries out and cut the gel 31 kDa-20 kDa bands in normal group and disease group′s. These gel blocks were subjected to in-gel trypsinization, and the extracted peptides were analyzed HPLC-CHIP-MS/MS. Approximately 24 unique proteins were identified in the UniProtKB/SWISS-PORT. The difference expression proteins were found in urinary exosome from NSCLC patients, including three fragment of the immunoglobulin kappa, two kinds of Ras related proteins, glutathione S-transferase A2, serum amyloid P-component precursor and phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 1.

Objective To observe and compare the curative effects of zoledronic acid (ZA) combined with radiotherapy and ZA combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of bone metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Seventy-eight patients with NSCLC bone metastasis treated by radiotherapy or chemotherapy were taken in our hospital from January 2010 to June 2014, including 39 cases of ZA combined conventional fractionation radiotherapy (radiotherapy combined group), and 39 cases of ZA combined with chemotherapy (paclitaxel liposome + cisplatin) (chemotherapy combined group). Each group had 39 cases. WHO objective evaluation standard, efficacy evalulation of solid tumor metastasis and curative effect standard grading of pain, anticancer agent toxicity classification standard, Karnofsky standard were used for evaluating and analyzing the patients with primary lung tumor, bone metastasis, degree of pain, adverse reactions and functional status (once before and after the treatment). Results The efficiency rate of primary lung tumor, the efficiency rate of bone metastasis, the total effective rate of pain relief and the improvement rate of functional status (Karnofsky score increased by 10 points or more)in the radiotherapy combined group and chemotherapy combined group were 82.05 % (32/39) vs. 79.49 % (31/39), 48.72 % (19/39) vs. 51.28 %(20/39), 82.05 % (32/39) vs. 84.62 % (33/39), 66.67 % (26/39) vs. 71.79 % (28/39) respectively, and the differences were not statistically significant (the values of x2 were 0.224, 0.237, 0.195, 0.259 respectively, all P> 0.05); Although the two groups showed low-grade fever, bone marrow suppression, esophagitis, liver and kidney damage, gastrointestinal reactions and other adverse reactions, the adverse reactions of two groups were close to [28.21 % (11/39) vs. 30.77 % (12/39)] (x2 = 0.314, P> 0.05). Fortunately, these reactions were controlled well after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion ZA combined with radiotherapy or chemotherapy is a safe and effective way for bone metastasis of NSCLC, which should be taken based on the individual condition of the patients.

Objective To analyze and compare the accuracy and utility of determining sperm DNA integrity by sperm chromatin dispersion (SCD) test and acridine orange staining (AO) test.Methods The level of DNA fragmentation was determined by SCD test and AO test in 32 adult healthy fertile men and 27 idiopathic oligozoospermia (IO) patients.Sperm nuclei with large DNA dispersion halos or with mediumsized halos were normal and nuclei with small-sized halos or no halo were abnormal.The normal sperm DNA was double strands and stained by AO as green.The damaged sperm DNA was single strand,which were stained as green for native DNA and red for denatured DNA.Results The percentage of sperm nuclei with large halos,medium-sized halos,small-sized halos and no halo evaluated bv SCD test in IO patients were (49.9±13.8)%,(11.5±5.4)%,(11.9±6.1)%and(26.7±10.0)%,and they were(73.2±6.2)%,(14.7±6.3)%,(6.8±2.9)%and(5.3±2.2)%in healthy control group,respectively.There was significant difference between two groups(t=8.576,P＜0.01;t=2.083,P＜0.05;t=4.284,P＜0.01;t=11.823,P＜0.01).The percentage of sperm DNA fragmentation was (38.6±12.1)%in IO patients and was (12.1±5.2)% in fertile men,respectively.A statistically significant difference was found between IO patients and healthy control group under SCD test (t=11.995,P＜0.01).AO test showed no significant differences between IO patients and healthy control group (t=1.626,P＞0.05).The percentage of sperm DNA fragmentation evaluated by AO test in IO patients was (45.5 ±13.8)%,and it was (39.8±13.3)%in healthy control group.Conclusions Sperm DNA fragmentation may lead to male infertility.The SCD is effective in testing the sperm DNA fragmentation as a screening procedure to determine semen quality during basic infertility investigation for clinical use.

Objective To investigate the kinetics and phenotype of spleen dendritic cells (DC) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) mice.Methods Thirty-six C57BL/6 mice were randomly (random number) divided into two groups:control group and ALI group.Spleens were harvested at the following intervals of 6,12,and 24 h after LPS or PBS administration.Lung wet weight / body weight ratio (LW/BW) was recorded to assess lung injury.Meanwhile,pathological changes were examined under optical microscope.The IL-6 level in the lung was measured by using ELISA (enzymelinked immuno sorbent assay).The DC in the spleen was measured by flow cytometry (FCM).Results (1) LPS-ALI resulted in a significant increase in LW/BW ratio.(2) Histologically,extensive alveolar wall thickening resulted from edema,severe hemorrhage in the interstitium and alveolus,and marked and diffuse interstitial infiltration with inflammatory cells were observed in the ALI group.(3) Meanwhile,the levels of IL-6 in lung tissue were significantly increased in the LPS-induced ALI mice.(4) LPS-induced ALI led to divergent kinetics of spleen DC in ALI mice.In ALI mice,spleen DC only showed a transient increase at 12 h.(5) All DC within spleens had a modest maturation in ALI mice.Conclusions LPS-induced ALI provokes a transient increase as well as modest maturation of spleen DC.

Objective To investigate the present situation and to analyze related factors of nursing practice environment among 22 public hospitals in Shanghai area.Methods We investigated 1 600 nurses from the 22 hospitals with general information questionnaire and the Chinese version of Practice Environment Scale,and also analyzed related factors by single and multiple factor analysis.Results 1 582questionnaires were taken back.49％ were dissatisfied with their working environment,and 28.1％ were evaluated to have nice practice conditions.Nurse concerned with workforce management and adequate resources were widespread.Logistic analysis indicated that hospital's level,the nurse's age,educational background and seniority were main factors influencing nurses' satisfaction.Nurse work in tertiary hospitals reported lower satisfaction.Conclusions More attention should be paid on improving nursing practice environment.

Objective To investigate the association of uncoupling protein 2 ( UCP-2 ) gene promoter -866G＞A polymorphism and ischemic stroke in diabetic patients.Methods A total of 844 type 2 diabetic patients including 404 cases with ischemic stroke and 440 cases without ischemic stroke were selected for the 4 year prospective study,Genomic DNA was extracted from the whole blood samples of subjects,UCP-2 gene promoter -866G ＞ A polymorphism was detected by TaqMan MGB probe method,and then the genotype and allele gene frequencies were compared.Results The risk of ischemic stroke in type 2 diabetic female patients with AA+GA genotypes of UCP-2 was higher than that with GG genotype (P＜0.05),but there was no difference among male patients with three genotypes.Conclusions UCP-2 gene promoter -866G ＞ A polymorphism increases the risk of ischemic stroke in Chinese diabetic women.
