Objective To probe into the relation of expressions of HIF-1α, VEGF and EGFR in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with radiation therapy efficacy. Methods 73 of the patients with carcinoma of oesophagus from January , 2011 to May , 2014 in the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University , were involved in this research , their clinical data reviewed and analyzed. Before radiotherapy , immunohistochemical SP was used to test expressions of HIF-1α, VEGF and EGFR in the cancer tissues. Relationships between the expressions and the efficiency of radiotherapy were analyzed. Results The positive expressions of HIF-1α, VEGF and EGFR were 70.0%, 84.9% and 80.8%, respectively. In terms of the single factor analysis related to recent curative effects, HIF-1α expression had significant correlation with recent curative effects (P=0.03). Conversely , multiplicity indicated that HIF-1α and EGFR expressions were notably associated with recent curative effects (P=0.007, 0.045, respectively). Conclusions The positive expressions of HIF-1α,VEGF and EGFR in the esophageal carcinoma may account for a largest proportion of the total. HIF-1α and EGFR expressions are associated with the short-term outcomes.

Objective To observe the effects of low dose irradiation (LDR) on proliferation,adipogenesis and osteogenic potential of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs).Methods hucMSCs were isolated from Wharton's jelly tissue of human umbilical cord by modified tissuepiece inoculation,and flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of specific marker in the hucMSCs.The hucMSCs were randomly divided into two groups:irradiation group undergoing irradiation with the doses 50,100,or 200 mGy respectively,and control group without irradiation.MTT method was applied to evaluate the proliferation of the hucMSCs at different time points with various doses irradiation.The third passage hucMSCs were randomly divided into two groups:irradiation group undergoing low dose irradiation of 200 mGy,and control group without irradiation,and then underwent induction by adipocytic and oesteocytic differentiation induction fluids respectively so as to differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts.Oil red O staining was used to detect the activity of alkaline phophatase (ALP),and RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of core binding factor alpha 1 in human osteoblast.Results After 9-12days,fibroblasts began to swim out of the tissue piece with a confluence rate of 80% 2 weeks later.Within 7 days the absorption values of the hucMSCs undergoing different irradiation doses 2,3,4,5,and 6 days later were all significantly higher than those of the control group(F = 159.17,448.81,265.15,183.93,and 181.83 ,all P <0.01),with the proliferation rates of the 100 mGy subgroup being the highest.After being induced liquid,vacuoles were observed in the irradiated group 2 days later.21 days later,the adipogenic rates of irradiated group was significantly higher than that of the control group (t = 28.25,P <0.01).The ALP activity increased in the irradiated group compared with control group (t=16.87,P <0.01) .The expression level of Cbf-α1 mRNA was up-regulated obviously (t = 14.16,P＜0.01).Conclusions LDR promotes the proliferation of hucMSCs,and accelerates the hucMSCs' differentiation into adipocytes and osteoblasts.

Apoptosis of PK-15 cells induced by Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) in vitro was reported in this paper. Typical cell apoptosis was detected by use of Hoechst 33258 fluorescence probe, agarose gel electrophoresis and in situ end-labeling (TUNEL). After PK-15 cells were infected by titration of 4.8 lg TCID50/mL FMDV for 32 h, apoptosis characteristics of nuclear condensation, fragmentation, accompanied by apoptotic bodies formation (Hoechst 33258 staining), 180-200 integer-fold sized pieces DNA Ladders (agarose gel electrophoresis) and strong green fluorescence dots (TUNEL) were all exhibited, and cell apoptosis was approximately 20%. In addition, the quantitative analysis of apoptosis in PK-15 cells induced by FMDV showed that apoptosis was correlated with infection of virus, and it was also time-dependent. Results indicate that FMDV can induce apoptosis of host cells and apoptosis plays an important role in the cytopathogencity effect of FMDV.

Objective To explore the safety of unilateral percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in treating osteoporotic vertebral burst fracture.Methods All 25 osteoporotic vertebral burst fracture cases (25 fracture segments) treated from April 2014 to July 2015 were analyzed retrospectively.In 25 cases,there were 17 males and 16 females,aged from 58.0 to 88.0 years with a mean age of 76.6 years.All patients included in the study had preoperative thoracic or lumbar X-rays,CT reconstruction and MR fatsuppression sequence scan in order to definite fracture sites and the integrality of the posterior wall of fracture vertebral.The unilateral PKP were performed by the same operator.All patients included in the study had postoperative thoracic or lumbar X-rays,and CT reconstruction to observe the bone cement leakage.After patients were out of hospital,X-rays were done regularly.The types of bone leakage were recorded.The pre-and post-operational anterior and posterior wall and the kyphotic angle were measured by one doctor.Results The scores of VAS at the first day after operation and the end of follow up decreased compared with the pre-operative scores:(2.8 ± 1.2),(2.4 ± 1.6) scores vs.(6.4 ± 2.6) scores,and there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).The kyphotic angle at the first day after operation and the end of follow up decreased compared with the pre-operative,but there were no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).The post-operative height of vertebral anterior wall increased at the first day after operation and the end of follow up compared with the pre-operative:(21.7 ± 5.0),(21.4 ± 4.1) mm vs.(20.3 ± 3.8)mm,and there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).The post-operative height of vertebral posterior wall increased at the first day after operation and the end of follow up compared with the pre-operative,but there were no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).The above index at the first day after operation and the end of follow up had no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The unilateral PKP in treating osteoporotic vertebral burst fracture is safe and reliable.Clear image display,skillful puncture techniques and suitable injection timing are necessary factors for a successful operation.

Intensifying the continuing education of doctors in hospitals at primary level is one of the important measures for increasing their specialized skills and improving the condition of primary care.In recent years,following the trend of national medical reform,the Fourth Military Medical University (FMMU) has made full use of its advantages to provide training for civilian doctors in hospitals at primary level.In the training,with the reform measures of ‘ four focuses' and ‘ five combinations',FMMU actively advanced teaching reform to make innovations in curriculum system and teaching methods,which was approved by teachers and students.These measures were very effective,which in turn greatly enhanced the ability of the doctors and training quality.This practice obviously pushed forward development of primary-level medical and health-care service in Shanxi province.

To develop a LC-MS/MS method for the determination of five kinds of trace ginkgolic acids in diterpene ginkgolides meglumine injection materials, the column was Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse plus C18 (3.0 mm x 50 mm, 1.8 µm), and the mobile phase consisted of methanol-water (containing 0.2% formic acid) (95:5) at a flow rate of 0.5 mL · min(-1). The multiple reaction ion monitoring (MRM) with an ESI interface in the negative ion mode was selected. The results showed that the linear ranges of five kinds of ginkgolic acids were in the range of 0.2-36.0 µg · L(-1) (r ≥ 0.999 5). The lowest limit of quantification (LOQ) of ginkgo acid C13: 0, C15:1, C17:2, C15:0 and C17:1 were 0.18, 0.18, 0.21, 0.10 and 0.20 µg · L(-1), respectively. The average recovery was between 73.28% and 87.56%, and the average content of total ginkgolic acids in three batches of samples was in the range of 0.023-0.028 µg · g(-1), which was much lower than 2 µg · g(-1) prescribed in drug registration standards. This method is simple and rapid with high sensitivity, which can be used for the determination of five kinds of trace ginkgolic acids in diterpene ginkgolides meglumine injection materials.
