Hypoxiaisoneofthemostimportantfactorsinfluencingcancertherapyandclinicalprogno-sis.With positron emission tomography (PET)widely adopted in clinical practice,the development and appli-cation of PET hypoxia imaging agents has been much popular in the field currently.PET hypoxia imaging can detect tumor hypoxia region noninvasively,which has important significance for optimizing cancer treatment decisions and improving the prognosis of cancer.

Lipopeptides produced by Bacillus subtilis JA antagonized a broad spectrum of fungal pathogens. Crude lipopeptides were extracted with methanol from the precipitate which was obtained by adding 6 mol/L HCl to the cell-free culture broth.The crude extract was run on Diamonsil C_(18)column(5?m,250 mm?4.6 mm) in reverse phase HPLC system to purify the lipopeptides.Inhibitory ability and IC_(50)values of lipopeptides towards various microorganisms were determined by agar diffusion method.The results showed lipopeptides exhibited strong inhibitory activity against some important plant pathogenic fungi,including R.solani and F.oxysporum.The ability of B.subtilis JA to antagonize against the growth of the post-harvest pathogen -B,cinerea was tested in vitro.Spore germination of B.cinerea was strongly inhibited in the presence of JA cell suspension.Furthermore,B.subtilis JA can produce antifungal volatiles which strongly inhibited the spore germination and mycelial growth of B.cinerea.As a biocontrol agent,the synergic effect of lipopeptides and volatiles may play a major role in controlling the pathogens by B.subtilis JA.

Objective To study the effect of dialysis adcquacy,microinflammation and residual renal function on nutritional status of hemodialysis patients.Methods One hundred and fourteen patients were enrolled in this study.Kt/V,?_2-MG and serum iPTH were measured as markers of hemodialysis adequacy.Nutritional evaluation included MQSGA,Alb,Hb,TF,IGF-1,IGFBP-3 and anthropometrics such as HGS,BSF,TSF,MAC,MAMC and AMA.Serum IL-6,TNF-?and CRP were detected to assess microinflammation.Urinary volume of 24 hours was measured to investigate the residual renal function (RRF).Results (1)There were different correlations and regressive associations of Kt/V,iPTH and?_2-MG with HGS,MAMC,AMA,Alb,Hb,nPCR,IGF-1 and MQSGA respectively.(2) There were significant correlations and regressive associations of RRF to HGS,TSF,MAMC,Alb,nPCR and IGF-1 within the first year of hemodialysis.(3) There were different correlations and regression relationships of IL-6,TNF-?and CRP with HGS、MAMC、AMA、Alb、TSF、Hb、nPCR、IGF-1 respectively.(4) Multivariate analysis showed that Kt/V,iPTH,IL-6, TNF-?,?_2-MG and RRF were influencing factors,among them,Kt/V,iPTH,IL-6 and TNF-?were independent predictors of nutritional status.Conclusions Hemodialysis adequacy and micruinflammation may impact on nutritional status.Residual renal function may be involved in nutritional status in the first year of hemodialysis.Kt/V,iPTH,IL-6 and TNF-?are independent factors affecting nutritional status.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the curative effect and surigical skills of reconstruction intramedullary nailing in the treatment of ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures.

METHODSFrom January 2007 to January 2013, 13 patients with ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures were treated by reconstruction intramedullary nailing including 11 males and 2 females with an average age of 38.9 yeas old ranging from 25 to 53 years old. For femoral neck fractures,10 cases were basilar neck fracture, 3 were transcervical fractures and according to Garden classification,10 were type II, 2 were type III and 1 was type IV. For feormal shaft fracture, 5 were type I, 4 were type II, 3 were type III and 1 was type IV according to Winquist classification. The location of all 13 feormal shaft fractures were all in the uper 3/4 of the feormal shaft. Complications and postoperative function were recorded and evaluated.

RESULTSEleven patients were followed up for 23.45 months (12 to 36 months). Time from injury to operation was 5.9 days in average. Malunion of femoral neck fracture happened in 1 patient, nonunion of femoral shaft fracture happened in 2 patients. NO femoral head osteonecrosis, infection and malunion of femoral shaft fracture happened. According to Friedman-Wyman classification, 8 cases get good result, 2 get faii and 1 get poor.

CONCLUSIONReconstruction intramedullary nailing is a good choice for the ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures with the advantages of less soft-tissue trauma and complications.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of naloxone used in the postoperation of cerebral tumor.Methods Eighty patients were randomly assigned to receive (treated group:40 patients) or not re- ceive (control group:40 patients) naloxone.Both the two groups accepted the conventional therapy.Re- sults After operation,the content of?-EP,ET decreased continuously but the one of the treated groups was more obviously than that of the control groups (P

Background Retinal neovascularization disease is a common cause of blinding.Retinal neovascularization is related to enhancing proliferation of vascular endothelial cells.So how to inhibit proliferation of vascular endothelial cells is a hot burning issue.p21 is known to be involved in the regulation of cell cycle and therefore inhibit the cell proliferation.However,the relationship of p21 and the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells in retinal neovascularization disease is for further study.Objective The aim of this experiment was to study the proliferation of rhesus retinal vascular endothelial cells(RF/6A) and expression of p21 in RF/6A cells under the hypoxia condition,and discuss their association.Methods The RF/6A cells were cultured and passaged in vitro,then they were randomly divided into normoxia culture group(5％ CO2 +95％ O2) and hypoxia for 1 hour,3,6,12 hours group(1％ 02+5％ CO2 +94％ N2).Flow cytometer(FCM) was used to check the distribution of RF/6A cell cycle in the normoxia culture group and hypoxia for 1 hour,3,6,12 hours groups.MTT assay was used to detect and compare the cell proliferation(A570)among the various groups.The expression of p21 in the cells was analyzed by Western blot.Results FCM showed that the cells proportion of G0/G1 stage was reduced initially and then increased afterward in hypoxia for 1 hour and 3,6,12 hours groups,showing a significant difference among 5 groups (F =20.083,P =0.000),and the cells proportion of S stage and G2/M stage were increased firstly and then declined in different hypoxia groups with statistical significances (F =7.861,P =0.001 ; F =10.305,P =0.003).Compared with normoxia culture group,cells proportion of G0/G1 stage was declined and that of S stage and G2/M stage were raised after hypoxia culture,showing statistically signifcant differences(P＜0.05).MTT showed that cell multiplication capacity(A570 value)strengthened firstly and then weakened in hypoxia groups with time prolongation,showing a significant difference among all the groups(F=7.768,P=0.001),and A570 value in hypoxia for 3 hours and 6 hours groups (0.315± 0.062,0.365 ± 0.064) was significantly higher than that of the normoxia group (0.205 ± 0.063),respectively(P＜0.05).Western blot showed that the expression of p21 in the cells down-regulated at the beginning and then up-regulated with the increase of hypoxia time,and there was statistical significance (F =16.738,P=0.000).The p21 relative levels in different hypoxia groups were reduced in comparison with the normoxia group,showing statistical signifcances(P＜0.05).Conclusions Short-term hypoxia could reduce the expression of the p21 in RF/6A and induce cell proliferation initially,then p21 increases and cell proliferation is inhibited with the prolongation of hypoxia time.
