Objective To investigate the influences of imatinib on Survivin gene expression in bcr-abl-transformed leukemia cells.Methods Firstly,PCR and Western blot were carried out to detected Survivin expression with imatinib treatment in 32Dcl3 and 32D-bcr-abl cell lines.Then the luciferase reporter plasmids containing human Survivin promoter as well as its deletion and site-directed mutation were constructed to identify the essential responsive elements for suppressing Survivin promoter activity by imatinib.Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed to confirm the binding of c-myc to Survivin promoter.10058-F4,a small molecule c-myc inhibitor,was used to disrupt c-myc activity and evaluate its anti-leukemic effect combined with imatinib.Results Both of mRNA and protein level of Survivin in bcr-abl-transformed cells were downregulated upon imatinib treatment.The decrease of Survivin expression was controlled at the transcriptional level through a mechanism in which imatinib repressed survivin promoter activity by disturbing the interaction between c-myc and E-box elements.Interruption of c-myc activity by 10058-F4 exerted an anti-leukemia effect with enhancing the sensibility of K562/G01 cells to imatinib.Conclusion Imatinib down-regulates Survivin expression through c-myc-mediated transcription and interference with c-myc might be a potential utility for treatment of imatinib resistant leukemia.

Objective To determine the prevalence of latex glove(LG)-induced type Ⅳ hypersensitivity in clinical nurses. Methods 100 clinical nurses were selected,among whom 69 nurses were set as the latex glove hypersensitivity group,and the other 31 nurses did not show hypersensitivity to latex glove (the control group).The two groupe underwent a patch testing with a modified European standard series of allergens supplied by Chemotechnique Diagnostics.The positive allergens were compared between the two groups. Results The positive rate of patch testing in patients of the latex glove hypersensitivity group was superior to that in the control group (73.9％ vs 25.8％).Cobalt chloride and potassium dichromate were the most common allergens in both groups,while only formaldehyde and para-phenylenediamine were more susceptible in the latex glove hypersensitivity group compared with that in the control group.26.1％ of the latex glove hypersensitivity group was responsive to rubber additives,but in the control group the results were negative.Conclusions The hand dermatitis of female nurses with LG allergy is mainly caused by exposure to daily necessities.The prevalence of LG-induced type Ⅳ hypenensitivity is relatively high in clinical murses.

BACKGROUND:The brain mechanism of semantic processing is one of the focus problems in cognitive neuroscience.With the research technologies plentiful and diversified, the brain mechanism of semantic processing is gradually distinct.However, at present, the related researches on Chinese semantic processing are not enough. The brain mechanism of semantic processing by Chinese language obstacle should be studied more deeply.OBJECTIVE: To further identify the neuropsychological significance of clinical diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation by concluding the study fruits on the brain mechanism of semantic processing by native Chinese speaker with dysphonia and analyze the relationship between the related brain mechanism and the local brain system of semantic processes as well as brain anatomical parts.RETRIEVE STRATEGY: The retrieve staffs are the research personnel for this paper. The range of retrieve time focuses since 1984. A computer-based online search was conducted in CNKI for literatures related to basic neuropsychology and its clinical application published between January 1994 and May 2006, in Elsevier for articles between January 1984 and May 2006, in Academic Source Premier and MEDLINE of EBSCOhost for studies between January 1984 and May 2006 with the key words of "semantic processing", and the language was limited to English. Meanwhile, relevant data were searched manually. The number of total retrieved articles was 264, among which 43 enrolled studies were in accordance with the inclusion criteria and excluded articles involving semantic processing or encephalic region but without their relationship. The unpublished articles were only used for references LITERATURE EVALUATION: The literatures are selected from related works, collected analyses, reports from single case or research. Evaluated persons are related research staffs.DATA SYNTHESIS: Processing of Chinese semantic relied primarily on the left superior temporal region, middle temporal gyrus, the inferior gyrus of frontal regions as well as the left middle frontal gyrus, which make up a frontal-temporal network for semantic processing. Lexical-semantic processing is strongly correlated with activation in the posterior portion of left superior temporal region and the middle temporal gyrus, which appear to be responsible for storage and automatic of semantic processing. The anterior temporal region is related to integrate different semantic knowledge. More strategic processes and those that require specific memory resources may be represented in the inferior frontal cortex. In addition, the left middle frontal gyrus is special to Chinese semantic process, and some scholars infer the reason is the unique style of Chinese characters.CONCLUSION: At present, there are many methods to study neuropsychology, brain tissues and its functions, with which a great deal of neuropsychological disorder and mechanism of pathological changes in clinic can be studied and comprehended more distinctly, and all these are greatly helpful to the treatment and rehabilitation.

Objective To understand clinical distribution and antimicrobial resistance of clinically isolated Serratia marcescens(S .marcescens ),and provide basis for rational use of antimicrobial agents,as well as prevention and control of infection.Methods 427 S .marcescens strains isolated between January 1 ,2012 and December 31 ,2015 were analyzed,antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed by disk diffusion method.Results 427 S . marcescens strains were mainly from respiratory tract (70.26%),among which the majority were from sputum (64.87%).S .marcescens were primarily from intensive care unit(ICU,19.44%),department of integrated tradi-tional Chinese and Western medicine(15.46%)as well as rehabilitation department (13.58%).The resistance rates of S .marcescens to cefoperazone/sulbactam,ertapenem,cefepime,ceftazidime,amikacin,imipenem,levofloxacin, and piperacillin/tazobactam were all<10%;resistance rates to ciprofloxacin,gentamicin,tobramycin,ceftriaxone, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (SMZ/TMP),and aztreonam were 10%-30%.Difference in the resistance rates of S .marcescens to cefoperazone/sulbactam,ciprofloxacin,ceftriaxone,amikacin,aztreonam,and SMZ/TMP dur-ing 4 years were statistically significant (P <0.05).In 2012-2013,resistance rates of S .marcescens to cefopera-zone/sulbactam,ciprofloxacin,ceftriaxone,aztreonam,and SMZ/TMP increased obviously,then resistance rates tend to be stable,while resistance rates to cefoperazone/sulbactam decreased.Conclusion Susceptibility of S.marcescens to most antimicrobial agents are high,but resistance had increasing tendency;susceptible rates of S .marcescens to ertapenem,ceftazidime,levofloxacin,and piperacillin/tazobactam are all high,and can be used as the empirical medication for the treatment of related infection.

Objective:To screen the early biomarkers associated with lung carcinoma by using proteomic method. Methods:The proteins of early lung squamous cell carcinoma tissues and adjacent normal tissues were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and differentially expressed proteins were screened by mass spectrometry (MS). The differential expressions of part proteins were verified by immunohistochemical method. Results:The proteomic profiles of lung squamous cell carcinoma and the adjacent normal tissues were established and the average matched protein spots in the two group were 626 and 602, respectively. Ten protein spots with higher expression in lung squamous cell carcinoma tissues were identified as Annexin 1(Anx-A1),heat shock proteins (HSP27), etc. The proteins were mainly related with cell cycle and signal transduction. The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the positive expression rates of Anx-A1 and HSP27 in lung squamous cell carcinoma tissues were significantly increased (P<0.05). Conclusion:Proteomic technology was an effective method for preliminary identification of the proteins associated with early lung carcinoma. The identified proteins laid a solid foundation for further screening the molecular markers for early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.

Objective To analyze the mucosal immune responses induced in BALB/c mice after immunization with Vaccinia Tiantan-based HIV vaccine in combination with protein and to evaluate the effi-cacy of different immune strategies and adjuvants.Methods The BALB/c mice were intramuscularly or in-tranasally immunized with the recombinant Vaccinia virus Tiantan strain ( rTV) carrying CN54 Gag-Pol-Env gene and boosted with the gp140 protein and MF59 adjuvant by intramuscular, intranasal or subcutaneous in-jection.Serum, saliva and vaginal lavage samples were collected from the BALB/c mice.The titers of anti-gen specific IgG and IgA were detected by ELISA.Results Significantly enhanced mucosal immune respon-ses were induced by immunization with gp140 protein used in combination with MF59 adjuvant.The IgA an-tibodies elicited in mice mucosal tissues by gp140 protein and MF59 adjuvant were as high as those induced by gp140 protein and cholera toxin subunit B or recombinant flagellin adjuvant.High tiers of gp140-specific IgA antibodies were observed in serum, saliva and vaginal lavage samples from the mice intramuscularly primed with rTV and intranasally boosted with gp140 protein and MF59 adjuvant.The tiers of IgA antibodies in serum and mucosal tissue samples were 1 ∶15 000 and 1 ∶600, respectively.Conclusion High titers of mucosal IgA antibodies were elicited in BALB/c mice intramuscularly primed with Vaccinia Tiantan-based HIV vaccine and intranasally boosted with gp140 protein and MF59 adjuvant, especially in vaginal and oral tissues.This immunization strategy might be able to block the heterosexual transmission of HIV-1 through va-ginal and oral mucosa.

Results Ten strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were successful in forming biofilms.Comparing with their planktonic counterparts, biofilms became more resistant to Meropenem , with the MIC raised 4-128 times. However, MIC of Micafungin could not be measured.Micafungin can inhibit the formation of biofilm in 9 experimental strains (PA1-PA9), where the minimum effective concentration of Micafungin were 156.25, 625, 10 000, 2 500, 1 250, 2 500, 1 250, 625 and 10 000 mg/L respectively.The absorbance values of the minimum effective concentration group and its positive growth control group were 0.342 ±0.020 vs 0.491 ±0.027, 0.512 ±0.018 vs 0.627 ±0.043, 0.862 ±0.021 vs 1.155 ±0.027, 0.731 ±0.028 vs 0.863 ± 0.017, 0.311 ±0.003 vs 0.447 ±0.021, 0.435 ±0.021 vs 0.597 ±0.011, 0.520 ±0.012 vs 0.605 ± 0.027, 0.611 ±0.059 vs 0.734 ±0.017, 0.223 ±0.011 vs 0.343 ±0.037 respectively, where the P values were 0.02, 0.03, 0.00, 0.01, 0.01, 0.00, 0.03, 0.01 and 0.03 respectively.The differences are statistically significant.Micafungin can damage the mature biofilm of 7 strains (PA1, PA2, PA4 -PA8), where the minimum effective concentration of Micafungin were 2 500, 2 500, 5 000, 2 500, 5 000, 2 500, 5 000 mg/L respectively.The absorbance values of the minimum effective concentration group and its positive growth control group were 1.459 ±0.014 vs 1.534 ±0.020, 1.279 ±0.020 vs 1.431 ±0.007, 1.365 ±0.024 vs 1.467 ±0.065, 1.322 ±0.028 vs 1.530 ±0.090, 0.920 ±0.004 vs 1.047 ±0.013, 1.860 ±0.005 vs 1.953 ±0.055, 1.407 ±0.005 vs 1.553 ±0.045 respectively, where the P values were 0.01, 0.01, 0.02, 0.01, 0.00, 0.03, 0.02.The difference is statistically significant.Micafungin combined with Meropenem applied in multiple drug resistant strains , which can inhibit the formation of biofilm better.Conclusions Micafungin can inhibit the formation Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm and damage the mature biofilms.Micafungin combined with Meropenem can act on multiple drug resistant strain , which may get a higher inhibition rate of the biofilm.

Objective To assess the efficacy of different internal fixations of palatal fracture.Methods Seventy-four patients with palatal fracture admitted between October 2007 and October 2013 were reviewed retrospectively.Through out-patient follow-up,postoperative occlusion and palatal complications were examined and fracture healing was evaluated using CT scan.Results Palatal type Ⅰ-Vfractures involved in 8 patients (11％),14 patients (19％),26 (35％),12 patients (16％),6 patients (8％),and 8 patients (11％) respectively.Forty-three patients were available to follow-up,including 31 patients with good or acceptable occlusion.All wounds healed without palate associated infections,plate exposure or oronasal fistula.Of the 27 patients classified as type Ⅱ,Ⅲ and V sagittal palatal fractures,both nasomaxillary and zygomatico-maxillary struts fixation (n =17) and isolated zygomatico-maxillary struts fixation (n =10) had insignificant differences in success rate as to occlusion assessment (82％ vs 80％,P ＞0.05).Whereas compared with isolated vertical buttress fixation (n =15),additional immobilization of horizontal alveolar buttresses (n =12) had significantly higher success rate (100％ vs 67％,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Complete rigid fixation at early stage,including vertical buttress fixation,in particular the zygomatico-maxillary struts,and horizontal alveolar buttress fixation can achieve satisfactory outcome.

Objective To compare the effects of isoflurane or sevoflurane in combination with remifentanil anesthesia on blood amyloid beta protein (Aβ) in the elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery.Methods Two hundred patients of both sexes,aged 65-75 yr,weighing 51-76 kg,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =100 each) using a random number table:isoflurane combined with remifentanil anesthesia group (IR group) and sevoflurane combined with remifentanil anesthesia group (SR group).Fifty healthy elderly subjects served as control group (group C).After anesthesia was induced with iv penehyclidine,sufentanil,propofol and vecuronium,the patients were endotracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated.In group IR,anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of isoflurane (end-tidal concentration 1.68 ％,in IR group) or sevoflurane (end-tidal concentration 1.71％,in SR group),and target-controlled infusion of remifentanil (target plasma concentration 2-6 ng/ml).At l day before surgery and 3 days after surgery,the patients' cognitive function was assessed using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE),the development of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) was recorded,and blood samples were taken for determination of serum Aβ40 and Aβ42 concentrations.Results The incidence of POCD was 5％ (in C group),56％ (in IR group) or 22％ (in SR group),and there was no significant difference among the three groups.There were no significant differences in the serum Aβ42 and Aβ40 concentrations after surgery among the three groups.Conclusion The mechanism by which sevoflurane or isoflurane in combination with remifentanil anesthesia results in POCD is not related to the levels of blood Aβ40 or Aβ42 in the elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery.

Objective To investigate the application of MRI in evaluation of the traumatic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) injury induced by type Ⅵ condylar fracture. MethodsMRI was performed in TMJs in 18 patients with type Ⅵ condylar fractures at days 3-14 post-injury and the MRI findings were analyzed. ResultsMRI findings of 18 patients with traumatic TMJ injury with 19 sides of type Ⅵ condylar fractures showed 15 sides of TMJ disk displacement,nine sides of capsule tear,16 sides of retrodiscal tissue tear (double-plate area) and 19 sides of joint effusion change. Conclusions MRI is very important in the diagnosis and evaluation of traumatic TMJ injury,since it can clearly display the TMJ injuries in type Ⅵ condylar fractures.Therefore,the clinical application of MRI is beneficial for selection of the therapeutic schedules.
