A tumor suppressor gene at 10q23.3, designated PTEN, encoding a dual specificity phosphatase with lipid and protein phosphatase activity, has been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of a variety of human cancers and sporadic tumor. In this paper, we reviewed the construction and function of PTEN, and the mechanism of activation in cancer especially in thyroid carcinoma.

Objective To explore the influences of Jinganning decoction on the content of CYP2E1 and cytokine IL-6,TNF in rats models of alcohdic hepatic injury.Methos 72 male Wistar clean level rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:blank control group,Jiuganning drug toxicity test group,alcoholic hepatic disease model group,Yiganling treatment group,Jiuganning low dose group,and Jiuganning high dose group.Blank control group was treated with physiological saline;Jiuganning drug toxicity test group was treated with Jiuganning decoction to observe toxicity and side effects.Jiuganning low and high dose treatment group were treated with 17.5 g/kg and 23.5 g/kg crude drug.Yiganning treatment group were treated with 0.206 g/kg crude drug.After 4 weeks'treatment,the content of TNF,IL-6,MDA as well as the activity of CYP2E1 and SOD were measured.Results Compared with the alcoholic hepatic disease model group,the content of IL-6(F=46.281,9.101),TNF and the activity (F=62.537)of CYP2E1 of all treatment group were significantly improved(P＜0.01).The content of SOD(F=19.210)in the rats serum of all treatment group was significantly increased while the MDA(F=34.952)was decreased.All the indexes in the treatment group had significant differences with the alcoholic hepatic disease and model group(P＜0.01).Conclusions The mechanism of Jiuganning decoction can effectively reduce the content of CYP2E1 and IL-6,TNF-a,with the changes of cell physiopathology and the influences of relevant enzymes,reveals the functional routines of the decoction treating hepatic injury:anti-lipid peroxidative,adjusting cytokine's activity,protecting hepatocyte,palliating the hepatocyte inflammation,and easing fibration.

Objective To study the ankle-brachial index of the diabetic gangrene. Methods ABI of the sixty cases with type 2 diabetes were measured. The results were divided into four groups: normal, gently abnormal moderate abnormal severely abnormal group. Results 30 cases were normal, occupying 50% (P＞0.05), gently and moderate abnormal attained 5 cases (8.33%) and 4 cases (6.67%) respectively, and the rests 21cases were severely abnormal, occupying 35% (P＞0.05).Conclusion The normal ABI was not always indicating type 2 diabetes without the gangrene or tendency.

During the past 30 years, Alzheimer's disease (AD) drug R&D aiming at a variety of potential targets has undergone tremendous setback although a large amount of resources have been invested by pharmaceutical companies, governments, academic institutions and venture capitals globally. There is no doubt that uneasy early diagnosis, unsatisfying therapeutic strategies and genetic polymorphism of AD patients bringing variety of responses to the drugs contribute to the failure of AD drug therapy, but the most important reason might be that people have insufficient understanding of the very complex diseases including AD. Continuing to make efforts in the previous way to find AD drugs might not be a good way. Development of systems biomedicine opens an avenue to understand the disease networks and pursue multi-target drugs R&D based on systems pharmacology theory; neural stem cell transplantation, and neurogenesis affected by small molecules might bring new hope for AD therapy; discovery of new biomarkers of AD will help the study of the pathogenesis and diagnosis of the disease and finally the discovery of new types of AD drugs.

Objective To investigate the effect of early acupuncture intervention combined with functional training on quality of life for patients with stroke.Methods 110 stroke patients were randomly divided into the observation group and control group,55 cases in each group.The control group received conventional hospital treatment and related functions training,while the observation group was given early acupuncture interventions and related treatment on the basis of the control group.All the patients were treated for 1 month.At the end of treatment and 3 months after discharge,their quality of life score (SS-QOL) were compared.Results The SS-QOL scores showed significant improvement in all aspects than before treatment,the differences were statistically significant(control group t =6.009,7.126,observation group t =6.140,7.092,all P ＜0.05).The improvement of SS-QOL scores of the observation group was significantly better than the control group (t =5.448,7.036,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Early acupuncture intervention combined with functional training can significantly improve the day-to-day quality of life,and it is worth further promoted in clinical.

Although che mical manage ment progra ms have been in place in several countries for more than 30 years they continue to be chal enged by factors such as data quality and quantity,greater de mand on regulatory staff and re-sources,an evolution in hazard and exposure assess ment methods,and continued debate about manage ment progra ms that are risk-based (hazard and exposure)or hazard-based.Countries developing their own che mical manage ment pro-gra ms often wish to learn fro m the experience of others,and thereby have progra ms that either reduce or eli minate so me of the proble ms associated with existing progra ms.However,often even new progra ms face the sa me or new proble ms that have been associated with managing che micals.In this paper we su mmarize so me of the ele ments of existing pro-gra ms in the United States and Europe,the developing progra m in China,and the chal enges associated with the evolution of hazard,exposure and risk assess ment methods.We conclude by suggesting areas where further research may be use-ful for i mproving che mical manage ment progra ms.

Objective: To analyze the diagnosis and therapeutic effect of the middle ear abnormalities.Method: 65 ears from 1967 to 1996 were reviewed. The degrees of the ossicular abnormalities were analyzed,operative effect were valued. Result:In the 65 ears,incus abnormalities was 57 ears (87.7％),stapes was 55 ears(84.6％), mixed malformation was dominant. 47 ears were operated with ossicular chain reconstruction. 44 ears(93.6％) had hearing improvement, 32ears (68.1％) had obviously improvement (＞20 dB). They werefollowed up over one year, 44 ears had steadily heraring and had not any complications. Conclusion:If diagnosisand interference were all proper, operation would obtain good result.
