p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K), an important member of AGC family, is a kind of multifunctional Ser/Thr kinases, which plays an important role in mTOR signaling cascade. The p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase is closely associated with diverse cellular processes such as protein synthesis, mRNA processing, glucose homeostasis, cell growth and apoptosis. Recent studies have highlighted the important role of S6K in cancer, which arose interests of scientific researchers for the design and discovery of anti-cancer agents. Herein, the mechanisms of S6K and available inhibitors are reviewed.

To evaluate the application of nueroelectrophysiological tests in early diagnosis of sub-clinical neuropathy in diabetes mellitus (DM), The routine nerve conductive velocity (NCV), F-wave and sympathetic skin response (SSR) were detected in 27 patients with diabetes mellitus but without symptoms and signs of lesions of nerve system. Our results showed that 48.1%, 44.4%, 51.9% of the patients were found to have abnormal NCV, F-wave and SSR respectively. The abnormalities were mainly characterized by prolonged latency, reduced velocity and absence of wave-form. There were significant differences between the controls and the DM group (P < 0.05). Both the distal and proximal segments of nerves were affected and the distal lesions took place earlier than proximal ones and the changes in low extremities were more severe than those of upper extremities. F-wave can be used as a sensitive indicator for the early diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy and it can help to detect the subclincial lesions. SSR can be used for the evaluation of functional status of autonomic nerves in DM patients.

BACKGROUND:Choosing an effective means to label and trace the distribution, differentiation and migration of celsin vivo help to further explore the specific mechanism of cels that exert a therapeutic effect. OBJECTIVE:To understand the migration and localization of BrdU-labeled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels in brain injury model rats. METHODS:Human umbilical cord blood samples were obtained, and the isolation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels was carried out. The primary and passage culture were performed. The phenotype of cels was detected by flow cytometry. Passage 3 human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels were labeled using BrdU, and the cel proliferation was detected using MTT method. BrdU-labeled cels were injected into brain injury ratsvia the tail vein. At 14 days after transplantation, brain tissues in the injury region were cut into sections and the migration and location of the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels were observed under inverted
fluorescence microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Cel surface specific markers CD45 and CD34 were detected by flow cytometry, but the cels could not express CD44, CD105 and CD29. Based on the cel growth curve, the cels came into a conditioning period at 1-3 days of seeding and came into a logarithmic phase at 3-5 days. BrdU-positive cels were visible at the injury region after 14 days, indicating that in the rats, transplanted human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels migrated from the peripheral blood to the site of brain injury to achieve the effective repair of injured parts.

Flow cytometry analysis of DNA ploidy level and S-phase fraction (SPF) was carried out in 24 snap-forzen tissue specimens of ovarian carcinoma. The relationship of DNA ploidy level and SP-F with age,clinical stage, ascites, histologic type,pathological grade,lymphocyte infiltration and psammoma bodies was analyzed.Results showed that the relationship of DNA ploidy level and SPF with ascites and pathological grade was significant. Aneuploid portion and SPF in patients with ascites or pathological grade Ⅲ or Ⅱ were higher than those in patients with no ascites or pathological grade I. The author considers that DNA ploidy level and SPF of ovarian carcinoma can serve as a relatively independent objective index which reflects tumor's biological behaviours,and will be of great auxiliary value to early diagnosis and therapy of ovarian carcinoma.

Objective To explore the outcomes of the oncology, the fertility and pregnancy on patients with early-stage cervical cancer after undergoing fertility-sparing treatments, and to investigate its value on clinical treatment. Methods A total of 29 patients with cervical cancer (stage Ⅰa2-Ⅰb1) who had undergone the fertility-sparing treatments in Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiaotong University from February 2010 to September 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Surgical procedures included transvaginal cervical cold knife conization (CKC)+laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy (PLD) or total laparoscopic uterine cervix extensive resection (RT; contains PLD); 48 patients with early cervical cancer under going laparoscopic uterine extensive resection (RH; contains PLD) by the same group of physicians in the same period were chosen as the control group. The perioperative related indicators, postoperative specimen examination, pregnancies after surgery and postoperative tumor follow-up results were retrospectively analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results (1) Among these 29 patients in the study group, 26 cases were underwent the fertility-sparing surgery quick frozen pathological examinations were positive in 3 cases, which underwent total laparoscopic RT eventually. (2) The perioperative related indicators: compared with the study group and the control group, the operation time [(182 ± 21), (147 ± 24) minutes, respectively] has significant difference (t=6.563, P<0.01). There were no significant difference (P>0.05) in intra-operative blood loss [(102±26), (99±34) ml], postoperative aerofluxus time [(1.3±0.4), (1.1±0.9) days], the average length of hospital stay [(11.2 ± 2.1), (10.6 ± 3.5) days], rate of urine retention [10%(3/29), 10%(5/48)] and rate of postoperative infection [3%(1/29), 2%(1/48)]. (3)Postoperative specimen examination:compared with the study group and the control group, there were no significant difference (P>0.05) innumber of removed lymphatic nodes (23.4 ± 4.1, 22.8 ± 3.9), length of cardinal ligament [(2.9 ± 0.5), (3.0 ± 0.6) cm], lengthof uterosacral ligament [(2.6±0.7), (2.8±0.4) cm], length of removed vaginal [(3.4±0.3), (3.5±0.3) cm]. (4) Pregnancies after surgery and postoperative tumor follow-up results:in the study group, only 14 patients had fertility requirement after treatments. Pregnancies occurred in 5 women (5/14), which included1 case of full-term labor, 1 case of preterm labor, and 3 cases of spontaneous abortion. The Average follow-up time in postoperative patients of the study group and control group was 29.4, and 30.2 months respectively. In follow-up period, compare with study group and the control group, there was no significant difference (χ2=0.004, P>0.05) in the recurrence rate [4%(1/26), 4%(2/48)]. Conclusion Fertility-sparing surgery of early-stage cervical cancer is safe but the outcome of the fertility and pregnancy is still need toimprove.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for promoting the priority use of essential medicines. METHODS:The use amount ratio of essential medicines in 2 third-level grade-A hospitals in Beijing from 2011 to 2013 was statistically investigated. And the literatures related to policies of essential medicines and application were retrieved for in-depth analysis. RESULTS:The use amount ratios of essential medicines in the outpatient and emergency departments in Beijing Hospital of Ministry of Health from 2011 to 2013 were respectively 24.04%,23.10% and 22.76%;and the use amount ratios of essential medicines of inpatients were respectively 16.56%,14.52% and 12.04%. The use amount ratios of essential medicines in the outpatient and emergency depart-ments in Beijing Friendship Hospital(a pilot hospitals of cancelling drug addition medical reform)in the 3 years were respectively 21.59%,19.85% and 22.93%;the use amount ratios of essential medicines of inpatients were respectively 17.70%,17.62% and 15.89%. The use amount ratios of essential medicines did not meet 25%-30% of the requirements. CONCLUSIONS:Cancelling the drug addition and adjusting the types and quantity of essential medicine list had no obvious effects on the use amount ratios of gen-eral third-level grade-A hospitals. It is suggested to promote the priority use of essential medicines by systems of medical insurance total amount prepayment,single disease payment or diagnosis related groups-based prepayment and the free policy of essential medi-cines,rather than administrative order.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow stromal cel s can differentiate into nerve cel s to promote nerve tissue repair, but the exact mechanism has not been ful y elucidated.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the influence of adenovirus-mediatedβnerve growth factor transfection on bone marrow stromal stem cel transplantation fighting against brain injury in rats.
METHODS:(1) Rat bone marrow stromal stem cel s were cultured in vitro, transfected with the adenovirus-mediatedβnerve growth factor and directional y induced usingβ-mercaptoethanol. (2) A total of 210 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into induction+tranfection group, induction+non-transfection group, induction+medium group, model group, and sham group (n=42 per group). Rat skul injury models were made, and given corresponding treatments at different time points (12, 24, 36, 48, 72 hours). Neurological function of rats was evaluated based on neurological severity scores on the day that the rats were given transplantation, and 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks after transplantation. (3) Another 75 Sprague-Dawley rats were also divided into five groups (n=15 per group) as above, fol owed by model establishment and corresponding treatments at 24 hours after modeling. Neurological severity scores were recorded at the same day, 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks after transplantation. Five rats from each group were sacrificed to detect levels of malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase in the rat brain at the same day, 2 and 4 weeks after transplantation, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:If the cel s were transplanted within 48 hours after modeling, the neurological severity scores in the induction+transfection group decreased significantly compared with the induction+non-transfection group and model group at 1 and 2 weeks after transplantation (P<0.05). If the cel s were transplanted at different time, the neurological severity scores in the induction+transfection group were decreased significantly compared with the induction+non-transfection group and model group at 3 and 4 weeks after transplantation (P<0.05). If the cel s were transplanted within 24 hours after modeling, the neurological severity scores in the induction+transfection group decreased significantly compared with the model group at 1 week after transplantation (P<0.05), and the neurological severity scores in the induction+transfection group and induction+non-transfection group both were significantly lower than those in the model group (P<0.05). Two weeks after cel transplantation, the level of superoxide dismutase was significantly higher in the induction+transfection group than the induction+medium group and model group (P<0.05), but the level of malondialdehyde was significantly lower (P<0.05). Al these findings indicate that adenovirus-mediatedβnerve growth factor transfer plays a certain neuroprotective role in bone marrow stromal stem cel transplantation for brain injury in rats.
