砄bjective: To observe NO level in gingival tissue of elderly patients with periodontitis. Methods: 4 mm 3 gingival tissue was obtained during tooth extraction and NO in the tissue of 14 patients aged 65～81 years with periodontitis was measured with nitrate reductase assay. The NO level was compared with that of 9 adult patients (40～58 years old), 6 juveniles patients (25～30 years old) with periodontitis and 9 health elders(65～77 years old).Results:NO(?mol/L)in gingival tissue of elderly patients,health elders,adult patients and juvenile patients were 33.07?12.02,63.53?18.23,55.99?22.40 and 82.15?30.35 respectively.( P

Advanced gastric cancer has a low survival rate while traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy has effects in inhibiting tumor growth, lengthening survival time and improving the quality of life.

Objective To avoid complicated wiring, a ward calling system based on wireless protocol is studied. Methods The system adopted ZigBee protocol, composed of calling console as network coordinator, bed-extensions as terminals and network routers in each ward. Results After initial configuration, the system could ring an alarm and gave the patient's bed number and ward number when patients called. Also it provided the automated network faults detection system. Conclusion The system is characterized with convenient installation, high intelligence and easy expansibility, and accords with the trend of technology.

A century ago the Flexner Report facilitated the process of modern medical education reform.Half a century ago,Problem-based learning initiated the student-centered medical education model.At present training medical students' competency will usher in the third reform in medical education.Over 100 years' development and in the global context of current medical education reform,China's medical education has become an important part of the world medical education.Harbin Medical University conducted an all-around reform through international cooperation and received the accreditation referenced according to global standards in medical education,which is an epitome of the medical education reform in China.

Objective To investigate the expression of serum sHLA-G in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and the association with the disease activity.Methods The serum concentration of sHLA-G in SLE patients and healthy controls was measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results Significant higher sHLA-G levels were detected in patients of SLE than control group (P＜0.01),The serum concentrations of sHLA-G in active SLE patients were markedly higher than stable SLE patients (P＜0.01).The expression level of sHLA-G showed positive correlations with SLE activity index (SLEDAI)(r=0.30,P=0.01).There was no correlation between sHLA-G levels and serum concentration of Anti-dsDNA,C3,C4 and Anti-ANA in SLE patients (P＞0.05).Conclusion The level of serum sHLA-G is significantly increased in SLE patients.Positive correlations are observed between sHLA-G levels and SLEDAI.These data indicated that sHLA-G may play certain roles in the pathogenesis and progress in SLE.

Since the hospital metrology station is the principal part of military metrology system,its handwrought operation greatly affects the working efficiency and implementation effects.In order to enhance working automatization,some metrology software was developed,but they only focused on the metrology management.This software achieves more functions such as auto-hint,auto-count of the inspection parameters,auto-output of the certification and so on.

Objective To investigate the antitumor mechanism of astragaloside combine with cetuximab on the colon cancer cell line RKO of EGFR over expression through cell proliferation and autophagy. Methods The cell proliferation of colon cancer cell line RKO intervened by astragaloside with or without cetuximab was detected by 4- methyl- teerazolium (MTT). The expressive changes for protein of EGFR 、P62 and LC3 in RKO cells was detected by western bolt. Results MTT showed that 100 ug/mL astragaloside combined with 120 ug/mL cetuximab had significantly inhibiting effect on RKO cells of EGFR expression. Western blot showed that astragaloside can affect the expression of P62 and LC3 to suppress the occurrence ofautophagy. Conclusion In the vitro studies showed that astragalosidecan enhance the antitumor cell proliferation of cetuximab through inhibit autophagy in the treatment of colon cancer.

Mitochondria, the power house of cells, are important organelles in eukaryotic cells. Having their own unique and complete DNA (mtDNA) and genetic system, mitochondria play an essential role in cellular energy metabolism, intracel?lular signaling and apoptotic pathways, as well as many other biological functions, which are closely related with cellular met?abolic network. A disruption of mitochondrial genes can therefore result in mitochondrial dysfunction and human diseases, thus they have been widely used in molecular biology, development biology, genetics, forensic identification and clinical diag?nosis. Consequently, sequencing mitochondrial genome has shown great significance in mitochondrial structure and function research. In this review, research progress in mitochondrial genome sequencing method is summarized, mainly focusing on Sanger sequencing, long-PCR and next-generation sequencing. Also rolling circle amplification and indirect sequencing of mtDNA are reviewed. The ambiguities caused by numts in indirect sequencing are mentioned and resolved.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and effects of whole-procedure seamless nursing intervention during regional collaborative treatment of patients with acute coronary syndrome.Methods Nursing intervention was performed on pre-hospital collaboration,transfer collaboration and catheter room collaboration during regional collaborative treatment of patients with ACS.Treatment time point,therapeutic effects and major hospitalization indicators were compared before(the control group) and after(the experimental group) implementation of nursing intervention.Results There were significant differences in mean FMC-to-B time,D-to-B time,referral time,obtaining informed consent time,mortality,LVEF and LVED between two groups(P＜0.05).There were significant differences in days of hospitalization,expenditures,percentage of consumables,percentage of medication,and in-hospital mortality between two groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion Whole-procedure nursing intervention can reduce time of regional collaborative treatment of patients with acute coronary syndrome,improve prognosis,decrease financial burden and increase efficiency of ACS treatment.
