Purpose To study the expression of livin and caspase-3 protein in pancreatic carcinoma and their correlation with clinicopathologic features and survivial time.Methods High-throughput tissue microarray technique and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of livin and caspase-3 protein in 88 pancreatic carcinoma specimens without a history of chemo-radiation therapy and 11 non tumorous pancreatic tissues,and the relationship of these subjects was analyzed with Spearman rank correlation. Among these 88 cases, 54 cases were followed-up for 2 months to 6 years, whom were used for the prognosis analysis.Results In the 88 cases, the positive rate of livin was 76.1% (67/88); however, the positive expression of caspase-3 was 90.9%(10/11) in non-tumorous pancreatic tissue, which was much higher than that in the cancer (40.9%,36/88), with statistically significant differences(P＜0.01). There were significant relationships of livin protein expression with sex, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (P＜0.05); the expression of caspase-3 protein expression was significantly related to sex, histological grade, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (P＜0.01). Spearman rank correlation showed a significant correlation between livin and caspase-3 protein (P＜0.01). In 54 cases with followed-up data, univariant analysis revealed that both of livin protein expression and lymph node metastasis were related to the survival rate (P＜0.05), but caspase-3 protein expression, sex, age, tumor location, size, histological grade and TNM stage were unrelated to prognosis (P＞0.05). Furthermore,COX stepwise proportional hazards analysis showed that only livin status retained independent significance in prospecting prognosis of pancreatic carcinoma.Conclusions The expression of livin is associated with clinicopathologic features and prognosis in pancreatic carcinoma. High expression of livin protein indicates poor prognosis, which could become an independent index for the evaluation of prognosis.caspase-3 protein may be involved in the regulation of apoptosis and the progression of pancreatic carcinoma.

Objective:To explore new methods of X-ray photography for acromioclavicular dislocation. Methods :20 patients with acromioclavicular dislocation were examined with the position of shoulder frontal-back, internal rotation of the arm and partial inner revolve position respectively; Results:3 patients belonged to typeⅠdislocation, about 15%; 7 patients belonged to type Ⅱdislocation, about 35%; 10 patients belonged to type Ⅲ, about 50%; Conclusion:Patients with acromioclavicular dislocation were mostly diagnosed by the examine with the position of shoulder front-back and internal rotation of the arm, TypeⅢ dislocation could be found in partial inner revolve position.

Objective: To express glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) modified Met- RANTES fusion protein on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and to develop a novel immunosuppressant GPI anchored form of Met-RANTES. Methods: The eukaryotic expression vector PEF/GPI-Met-RANTES were constructed and transfected into CHO cells by electroporation. The transfectants were selected with methotrexate (MTX). Expression of the recombinant protein was assessed by flow cytometric analysis, cell immunofluorescence staining and immunogold electron microscopy. Results: The chimeric molecules of GPI anchored form of Met-RANTES including the whole reading frame were constructed, and the sequence was identical to the designed sequence. GPI anchored form of Met-RANTES was stably expressed on CHO- DHFR- cells. Conclusion: A large amount of GPI modified Met-RANTES fusion protein was expressed on CHO cells. GPI anchored form of Met-RANTES may be used as novel immunosuppressant for suppressing reaction in graft rejection.

Extraction-spectrophotometric method for determination of lomefloxacin is proposed.The ion pairs complex of lomefloxacin with brornocresol green (BMG) can be extracted into CHCI3 at pH 3.6 and has absorption maximum at 415nm.The calibrationgraphs generated was linear over the range of 1～15mg/L drug in solution (r=0.9997).ε=2.5×104L·mol-1·cm-1.The detection limit is 0.014mg/L.The recovery of method is 98.9%～101.6%.The proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of lomefloxacin in pharmaceutical formulations.

Based on the teaching practice of BME in higher Medical University for years,this article expounded the features,the teaching intension,the moving mechanism,etc.It is expected taht this article will improve the development greatly of BME in higher Medical University.

Objective To solve the three principal problems for reusing the software components, i.e., existence, discovery and availability principles, web services provided a new solution for reusing and assembling web software or components under distributed environment with a series of XML-based protocols. Methods A 4+1 meta-model between atomic services, such as Sequence, Parallelism, Alternation, Substitute and Iteration, and a kind of service composition description language in composition process are investigated. Furthermore, an architecture-based service composition model with Ontology Engine is proposed, which is based on the software architecture life-cycle model and provides a mechanism for services composition with dynamic management and deployment. Results The results of the prototype system development show that the service-composed application not only reused the web service components, but also reused the data resources located in distributed databases. Conclusion The method of reused-based web services composition observably decreases the period and cost of development and greatly improves the programming efficiency.

Objective To assess the risk factors of pulmonary infection in patients with cerebral hemorrhage,and then to provide references for policy-making.Methods Relative literature of crosssectional or case-control studies about risk factors of pulmonary infection in patients with cerebral hemorrhage was searched by computer in data bases such as CNKI,VIP,CBM,WanFang Data and PubMed from January of 1994 to October 2014.Resluts A total of 22 studies (2 case-control studies and 20 crosssectional studies) were brought into the study.The risk factors' OR and its 95％CI was 2.64(2.10-3.33) for over 60 years of age,2.05(1.56-2.69) for smoking history,3.07(2.24-4.19)for those who have diabetes,3.36 (2.40-4.70) for those who have chronic pulmonary diseases,1.54 (1.16-2.05) for those who have heart diseases,2.38 (1.83-3.08) for those who have a history of stroke,5.07 (3.15-8.16) for disorder of consciousness,2.78(2.36-3.27) for amount of bleeding over 30ml,2.85(2.22-3.66) for deviated from midline,2.58 (1.60-4.17) for breaking into ventricle,2.05(1.67-2.51) for high level of fasting blood sugar respectively,and so on.Conclusions Prophylactic measures can be carried out according to the risk factors of pulmonary infection in patients with cerebral hemorrhage,and then to reduce the incidence rate of pulmonary infection.

This paper employed UPLC-Electrospray Ionization /Quadrupole-Time of Flight-Mass /Mass Spectrometry( UPLC-ESI/Q-TOF-MS/MS) to analyze the chemical constituents in the stems of Nelumbo nucifera. The stems of N. nucifera were extracted with 75% methanol, and we applied an Agilent Zorbax SB-Aq column (2.1 mm x 100 mm, 1.8 μm) to UPLC analysis with water methanol-water( containing 0.05% formic acid) in gradient as mobile phase. The eluates were then detected by ESI-Q-TOF-MS/MS. Results indicated that 22 benzylisoquinoline alkaloids were indendified. Among them, one alkaloid may be a new compound and a component was found in the Lotus for the first time. We fully identify the composition of the Lotus stems for the first time, Which could provides theoretical foundation for further study and utilization of the medicinal resources.
