Objective To evaluate the role of the cell cycle related genes cyclinD1 and Bcl-2 protein expression in the pathogenesis and infiltration of the uveal melanoma. Methods Using immunohistochemistry to detect the cyclinD1 and bcl-2 protein expression in 96 cases of uveal melanoma. Results The expression content of bcl-2 was high in uveal melanoma, and there wasnt any relationship between bcl-2 cell positivity and tumor cell type and extrascleral extension. In contrast, cyclinD1 expression was higher in epithelial cell uveal melanoma than mix cell and spindle cell varieties. There was a positive correlation between cyclinD1 cell positivity and extrascleral extension. Conclusion The expression of bcl-2 protein is important for the survival of the uveal melanoma. CyclinD1 may serve as a sensitive index of its malignancy.

Objective:To investigate the hippocampus neuron injury,mitochondrial function and mitochondrial apoptosis related protein expression in kainic acid(KA) induced epilepsy rat,and to explore the role of mitochondrial pathways of apoptosis in the neuron injury.Methods:KA induced epilepsy model was produced by injection of KA into the hippocampus.Forty SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: control and KA group(6 h,1 d,3 d and 7 d),n=32.The concentration of Glu in hippocampus CA3 area was detected by HPLC.The apoptosis of hippocampus neurons and the concentration of free calcium ion were assayed by flow cytometry.The expression of cytochrome C and caspase-9 in hippocampus CA3 area was determined by Western blot.Results: ①The concentration of Glu in hippocampus CA3 area was increased in the fourth day after KA injection.②The concentration of free calcium ion,mitochondrial membrane potential,and the number of apoptosis neurons was significantly changed after 6 h of KA injection.Seven days after KA injection,these changes were more significant.③The hippocampus neuron expressed low levels of cytochrome C and caspase-9,and the expression of cytochrome C and caspase-9 was dramatically increased in a time dependent manner which increased by 4.37and 3.20 fold 7 d after KA injection.Conclusion:Mitochondrial pathways of apoptosis involve in hippocampal neuron apoptosis in KA induced epilepsy rat.

Objective To evaluate the biocompatibility of porous drug implant scaffolds prepared by 3D printing technique. Methods Porous drug implant scaffolds were fabricated by 3D printing technique, and a series of tests were carried out to validate the biocompatibility, including acute systemic toxicity, hot source test, local irritation reaction, micronucleus test, muscle implant test and so on. Results The porous drug implant scaffolds showed no acute systemic toxicity, no pyrogenetic effect, no local erythema and edema in local irritation re-action, hemolysis rate of 0.29%, no cellular genetoxic. No local tissue denaturation, necrosis and exclusion were found in intramuscular implant test. Conclusion With good biocompatibility, the porous drug implant scaffold fabricated by 3D printing technique can meet the clinical requirement for biomaterial.

This study examined the effect of IKVAV peptide nanofiber on proliferation, adhesion and differentiation into neurocytes of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). IKVAV Peptide-amphiphile was synthesized and purified. Then, hydrogen chloride was added to the diluted aqueous solutions of PA to induce spontaneous formation of nanofiber in vitro. The resultant samples was observed under transmission electron microscope. BMSCs were cultured with IKVAV peptide nanofiber. The effect of IKVAV nanofiber on the proliferation, adhesion and induction differentiation of BMSCs was observed by inverted microscopy, calcein-AM/PI staining, cell counting and immunofluorescence staining. The results demonstrated that IKVAV peptide-amphiphile could self-assemble to form nanofiber gel. BMSCs cultured in combination with IKVAV peptide nanofiber gel grew well and the percentage of live cells was over 90%. IKVAV peptide nanofiber gel exerted no influence on the proliferation of BMSCs and could promote the adhesion of BMSCs and raise the ratio of neurons when BMSCs were induced to differentiate into neurocytes. It is concluded that BMSCs could proliferate and adhere well and yield more neurons during when induced to differente into neurocytes on IKVAV peptide nanofiber gel.

[Objective]To evaluate the two-dimensional shear wave elastography(2D SWE)in predicting the prognosis of the patients with acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure(ACLF-HBV).[Methods]312 patients diagnosed with ACLF-HBV at the De-partment of Infectious Diseases in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from October 1st 2013 to December 31th 2015 were recruited. The baseline data of all patients,including 2D SWE,laboratory data,ultrasonographic data,Model for End-stage Liver Disease score(MELD),Child-Turcotte-Pugh score(CTP),and King′s College Hospital score(KCH),were collected when enrolled. All patients were followed up for at least 90 days and their clinical outcomes(recovering or worsening)were recorded. 2D SWE values of all patients were dynamically collected every 2~4 weeks during the follow-up until death,liver transplantation, or discharging from hospital.[Results]The worsening patients showed higher 2D SWE values than the recovering ones[(44.0 ± 7.5) kPa vs(36.8 ± 10.3)kPa,t=-6.5,P=0.000],2D SWE value less than 39.2 kPa could be a prediction of the patient′s recovery in 90 days.The predictive value of 2D SWE(AUROC=0.73)was higher than that of KCH(AUROC:0.65,z=2.1,P=0.033). Among all the dynamically measured patients,2D SWE rose from(42.1 ± 8.0)kPa to(47.5 ± 9.3)kPa in the worsening group during the 90-day follow-up,while nearly stable in the recovery group.[Conclusion]Noninvasive liver stiffness measurement by 2D SWE is a use-ful method in evaluating the prognosis of ACLF-HBV patients. Taking a cutoff of 39.2 kPa,patients with higher 2D SWE values could have worse clinical outcomes ,otherwise better. It seems that dynamically measuring 2D SWE values could also be helpful ,but more research in the future should be needed.

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the professional cognitive level and its influencing factors of fresh nursing students in Yunnan,in order to provide a basis for nursing education workers, improve the situation and put forward a series of interventions.MethodsA questionnaire survey was done among 623 fresh nursing students in 5 universities of Yunnan province,and the data were collected and analyzed using the descriptive analysis and chi-square test of software SPSS22.0.Results There were 313 peoples choose nursing for easy future employment in qualified 599 questionnaires. The professional cognitive level in Yunnan was not comprehensive compared with other provinces,and the ratio of the nursing mission and etc were lower than other provinces with statistical significance(P < 0.05). However,there were 50 people(40.98%)would like to choose other major of 122 people who come from other provinces,which was higher than that of Yunnan (34.98%). There were 324 students(63.11%)were proud of nursing,327 students(63.70%)think nursing have a good development prospect who received the freshmen entrance education,which were higher than 35.62% and 42.47% of who could not receive the freshmen entrance education,with a statistical significance(P < 0.05). ConclusionSchool should reinforce the new students entrance education and professional publicity to cultivate the professional emotion of nursing freshmen.

J6-1 cell line is the first leukemic cell line established in China. It is a multi-clone cell line infected with both EBV and HHV-6. Many cytokines, receptors and other genes were cloned from J6-1 cell line since its establishment 30 years ago. Valuable information on leukemic characteristics and functions were obtained from the studies on this cell line, which could be categorized into several research subjects. These achievements implied the unique research value of multi-clone cell lines. This comment focuses attention on research advance of the J6-1 leukemic cell line in 30 years, including heterogeneity and multi-cloning of J6-1 cells, survival mechanism of J6-1 cell populations, abnormal intercellalar communication of J6-1 cells with its significance and inspiration from J6-1 cell line.
