It was found that the infec-tion of endothelial cells inhibit the lytic activity of NK and LAK cells. Theinhibition. It is sug-gested that the deceased susceptibility of HFRS virus infected endothelial cells to NK and LAKcells may protect the viruses from the cellular immunity during the course of HFRS.

Objective To explore the differences between schizophrenic patients and normal at prospective memory,and investigate the effect of personality intermediary between schizophrenia and prospective memory.Methods A case-control study was utilized in this research.It used the color matching task to test prospective memory and MMPI-2 scale to test personality differences between the two groups.Results Schizophrenia prospective memory score(19.29±2.30),lower than the normal group(44.74±2.06),the difference was significant(P＜0.01).In mediating effect on the personality inspection,the subscales within MMPI-2 of Social Scale(Si) and Anxiety and tension Scale(ANX) regression coefficients were tested(P＜0.05),which showed significant effect.Further analysis with sobel statistics showed that only one factor tested was significant.The test coefficients of depression scale (D),mental weakness scale (Pt) and schizophrenia scale (Sc) were significantly different (P＜ 0.05),which showed that these subscales also had significant mediating effect.Conclusion The prospective memory performance is low in schizophrenia.The personality characteristics that depression,mental weakness,schizo phrenia,social anxiety and tension play an intermediary role in schizophrenia and prospective memory.

Objective To compare the difference of prospective memory(PM) between schizophrenia patients and normal people,and to analyze the internal component of prospective memory using multinomial processing tree(MPT) model.Methods 17 schizophrenia patients and 17 age-and education-matched control participants completed an event-based PM task which was embedded within an ongoing computer-based color-matching task.Internal component of prospective memory was analyzed using multinomial processing tree(MPT) model.Results The scores of prospective memory performance in schizophrenia patients and normal controls were (21.83± 2.46) ％ and (38.81±2.26) ％, and the difference was statistically significant (t=2.11, P＜0.05).The difference of ongoing task between schizophrenia patients ((75.88±0.43) ％) and controls ((71.44±0.45) ％) was statistically significant (t=2.79, P＜0.05).The reaction time of schizophrenia patients was significantly longer than that of normal controls((2.34±1.41) s vs (1.81± 1.19) s, t=11.24, P＜ 0.05).The MPT model revealed a significant group difference in the prospective component (0.82 vs 0.97, G2(1)=14.17, P＜ 0.01) and retrospective component (0.54 vs 0.41 ,G2(1) 14.17, P＜0.01).Conclusion The prospective component of event-based prospective memory of schizophrenia patients was lower than normal controls,which may result in the impairment of PM performance.

Objective To investigate the changes of proteomics in serum of Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats after accumulated irradiation with 137Cs γ-rays.Methods A total of thirty mature SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:0.2 Gy group,2 Gy group and healthy control group.Rats were irradiated at a dose rate of 0.336 mGy/min for 10 d and 20 d continuously.Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) was used to analyze the different protein expression in serum of irradiated rats.Gene Ontology,KEGG pathway and protein-protein interaction network analysis were conducted using softwares.Results In total,363 protein spots were identified.Twenty nine proteins were differentially expressed in both groups compared with control,of which 10 proteins were up-regulated and 19 proteins were down-regulated.Based on the information of GO categories,these differentially expressed proteins were mainly located in the cytoplasm and membrane concerning the function of binding and catalytic activity.Analysis with the PAJEK software demonstrated that 16 differentially expressed proteins could form a complicated interaction network where glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1),phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1) and protein disulfide-isomerase (PDI) might be key nodes.Conclusions Accumulated irradiation can induce differentially expressed proteins in serum of irradiated rats.Analysis on functional roles of the screened proteins GSTP1,PGK1 and PDI may provide insight into further mechanistic investigations and underlying molecular biomarkers induced by accumulated irradiation.

Background and purpose:It was reported that zinc ifnger protein 139 (ZNF139) was expressed aberrantly in gastric cancer. But the relationship between ZNF139 and multidrug resistance (MDR) of gastric cancer is still not clear. The purpose of this research was to investigate the expressions and signiifcance of ZNF139, MRP-1, MDR1/P-gp, GST-π in human gastric carcinoma cell lines SGC7901 and SGC7901/ADR. Methods: The expressions of ZNF139, MRP-1, MDR1/P-gp, GST-πwere determined with RT-PCR and Western blot in SGC7901 and SGC7901/ADR cell lines. Then siRNA recombinant plasmid of targeting ZNF139 gene was constructed and imported into gastric cancer cell line SGC7901/ADR, and the expressions of MRP-1, MDR1/P-gp, GST-πwere tested simultaneously. Results:The expressions of ZNF139, MRP-1, MDR1/P-gp, GST-πwere higher in SGC7901/ADR than in SGC7901(P<0.05). ZNF139 was inhibited obviously after siRNA-ZNF139 was transfected into SGC7901/ADR, and expression of MRP-1, MDR1/P-gp, GST-πdecreased(P<0.05). Conclusion:ZNF139 may be invovled in multidrug resistance (MDR) of gastric cancer by up-regulating MRP-1, MDR1/P-gp and GST-π.

Objective To monitor the protective qualities of personal protective appliances and to ensure the health and safety of radiological working personnel.Methods The lead-equivalent thickness of personal protective appliances and materials was measured by means of standard lead slices.The lead equivalent thickness represents in terms of mm Pb.Results 77 pieces of products and samples were measured altogether.The results indicate that the specific lead equivalents of lead-rubber plates were between 0.20-0.39 mm Pb/mm for 37 pieces of lead-rubber plates and the values of 6 pieces of samples were less than 0.25 mm Pb/mm,which did not accord with the requirement of the relational standard.27 pieces of personal protection appliances were measured altogether.They were 12 pieces of protective clothes,4 pieces of protective headgears,5 pieces of protective neckpieces,4 pieces of protective gloves and 2 pieces of protective masks.13 pairs of lead-glass spectacles among them were measured altogether.The measured results for personal protective appliances and lead-glass spectacles showed that actually measured lead-equivalent were higher than the nominal lead-equivalent.Conclusions The protective qualities are reliable for personal protection materials and appliances to be made in home and imported abroad.But the protective qualities of interventional protection gloves should be improved and made them better.

Objective To investigate the treatment outcomes of 41 patients with suprasellar and pineal germinoma who are treated in our department in recent 18 years,and to explore related therapeutic strategies.Methods A total of 41 patients with concurrent suprasellar and pineal germinoma who were treated in our department from January 1996 to August 2013 were enrolled.There were 35 male patients and 6 female patients,and the median age was 16 years (range 5-39 years).Five patients had pathologically confirmed germinoma and 36 patients had clinically diagnosed germinoma.Conventional radiotherapy was performed for 33 patients, and intensity-modulated radiotherapy was performed for 8 patients.Combined-modality chemoradiotherapy was performed for the 5 patients with pathologically diagnosed germinoma.The 6 MV X-ray was applied for radiotherapy;6 patients received whole ventricular irradiation and a boost in tumor region, 16 received whole-brain radiotherapy and a boost in tumor region,and 19 received craniospinal irradiation and a boost in tumor region.The median radiation dose for tumor region was 45.0 Gy (37.8-50.0 Gy),and the median dose for prophylactic irradiation was 25.0 Gy (17.8-35.0 Gy).The survival was caculated using Kaplan-Meier method.Results The number of patients followed were 26 at 5-years.The 5-year overall survival rate and relapse-free survival rate were 95% and 85%,respectively.Relapse and metastasis were noted in 8 patients,and 3 of them died.There were 4 patients with spinal cord metastasis,1 patient with ventricular dissemination,and 3 patients with periventricular relapse.Among the 22 patients who did not undergo spinal irradiation,4(18.2%) experienced spinal cord metastasis,and all the other 19 patients who underwent spinal irradiation did not experience spinal cord metastasis.The 8 patients undergoing intensity-modulated radiotherapy and the 5 patients undergoing combined-modality chemoradiotherapy did not experience treatment failure during follow-up.Conclusions Radiotherapy for intracranial germinoma has a good therapeutic effect,and the patients with suprasellar and pineal germinoma who do not undergo spinal cord irradiation have a high failure rate.It is suggested to perform spinal cord irradiation for patients with suprasellar and pineal lesions.

Objective: To study the relationship between human herpes vi rus 6 (HHV-6) infection and oral squamors cell carcinoma. Methods: The serum anti-HHV-6 antibody titers from 16 cases of oral squamors cell carcinoma (OSCC) and 16 control subjects were detected by indirect immunofluores cence assay. HHV-6 DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was amplified by P CR and the specificity was confirmed by Southern-blot hybridization with an int ernal probe oligonuclotide. An immunohistochemical staining was used to detect H HV-6 antigen in OSCC tissues. Results: Positive expression of s erum HHV-6 IgG antibody was found in all the cases of OSCC and in 12 of the 16 controls. Geometric mean titer of OSCC group and control group was 1∶118 and 1 ∶64 respectively (P

Objective To examine the interfractional dosimetric variations among inverse three-dimensional (3D) plan, forward 3D plan, and two-dimensional (2D) plan of intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer, and to discuss the risk of implementing the interval plan on different implantation applicators at short time intervals.Methods Twenty-five groups of CT-guided intracavitary brachytherapy (two consecutive radiations at ≤4 d apart) plans from 11 cervical cancer patients who received radical radiation therapy in our hospital were reviewed and compared.The dwelling location and time of the first intracavitary brachytherapy plan (Plan-1) were simulated on the CT image of the second intracavitary brachytherapy to form Plan-1-S.The target coverage indices and D 2 cc of organs at risk (OARs) of Plan-1-S and Plan 2(actual plan of the second intracavitary brachytherapy) under the three planning modes were recorded and compared using the paired t-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, and ANOVA.Results The D90, D100, and V100 of high-risk CTV were significantly lower in Plan-1-S created under the inverse mode in the actual plan (-9.11±13.46%,-13.16±18.79%, and-7.80±13.34%, P=0.002, 0.002, and 0.005, respectively).D90, D100, and V100 of the interval plan had the greatest reduction under the inverse mode (76%, 80%, and 76%, respectively).The maximum reductions in D90, D100, and V100 were 332.14 cGy (2D), 244.12 cGy (forward), and 41.76%(inverse).OAR overdose occurred most frequently under the forward mode;the rates of D90, D100, and V100 reductions accompanied by one OAR overdose were 29.41%, 37.50%, and 25.00%, and the rates of D90, D100, and V100 reductions by two OAR overdoses were 5.88%, 12.50%, and 6.25%,respectively.Overdose occurred most frequently in the small intestine (36%).Comparison of the three planning modes showed that the inverse plan had a greater reduction in each target coverage index than the 2D plan.Conclusions The simulated interval plan can significantly reduce target coverage and increase the risk of OAR overdose regardless of the planning mode and the short time intervals, and is therefore not recommended for clinical application.
