Objective:Tumor suppressor gene nitrogen permease regulator like 2 (NPRL2), also called tumor suppressor candidate gene 4 (TUSC4), widely exists in all kinds of human tissues and is highly conserved in different kinds of biological species. The expression of NPRL2 is markedly decreased in many human tumor tissues, such as lung cancer, breast cancer,renal carcinoma, et al. NPRL2 is located in human chromosome 3p2.13, and participates in DNA mismatch modification, regulation of signal transduction du-ring cell cycle progression, and apoptosis induction. NPRL2 gene inactivation is related with the initiation and progression of several malignant tumors. The mechanism underlying the tumor-inhibiting activity of NPRL2 gene is not clear and needs to be further investigated.

BACKGROUND:Along with the medicine development.the prevention and treatment of the atrophy of denervated skeletal muscle have made a remarkable progress,but the clinical curative effect is still not satisfied OBJECTIVE:To summarize the current status of the prevention and treatment methods of denervated skeletal muscle atrophy,and to find a more effective method for the prevention and treatment of the denervated of skeletal muscle atrophy METHODS:Using"denervation,muscle atrophy,treatment"in English for the search term,Medline database from January 1998 to January 2008 was retrieved.Using"denervation,muscle atrophy,treatment:in Chinese for the search term,the Chinese Journal Full-text Database from January 1998 to January 2008,Wanfang Database from January 1998 to January 2008,and Journal of Clinical Rehabilitation and Tissue Engineering Research from January 1 998 to January 2008 were searched.Literature was limited to English and Chinese languages.The muscular endurance and contractile force,muscle wet weight of denervated nerve,and skeletal muscle repair served as the evaluation index The studies on the micro-surgical procedures,physical therapy,biological and chemical therapies,gene therapy for the atrophy of denervated skeletal muscle were included.Except the above methods,other therapies to the denervated skeletal muscle atrophy were excluded.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After peripheral nerve damage.the skeletal muscle is denervated and then inevitably atrophy occurs Therefore,the exploration of prevention and treatment of denervated skeletal muscle atrophy has attracted the interests from many domestic and foreign scholars.will certainly become the important task and the research hot spot in the 21st century in the peripheral nerve domain The microsurgery surgery,physiotherapy,biology and chemotherapeutics,gene therapy are the main effective prevention methods for the atrophy of denervated skeletal muscle.At present,this domain.s research already presents the multiple perspectives and various tendencies.The prevention and treatment of denervated skeletal muscle atrophy has already given the pointed management,but in the improvement microcycle,but much works need to carry on in fields of improving microcirculation,preventing cell apoptosis,suppressing the collagen excessive growth,as well as adjusting myogenic regulatory factors expression using gene therapy method in the gene level,but also had the.Along with the tissue engineering,cell culture science,molecular biology,genetic engineering and so on,an unceasing development will be obtained regarding the prevention and treatment of denervated skeletal muscle atrophy.

Atomic layer deposition has been employed for postsynthesis treatment of octadecyl bonded silica (ODS) as a typical reversed-phase stationary phase for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) ,in an effort to alleviate peak tailing for basic compounds. With hexamethyldisilazane( HMDS) as an endcapping agent,the ODS packing materials were heated to 250℃,and maintained at that temperature for 6 h,affording packing materials which are highly inert to basic compounds. Chromatographic performance in terms of retention factor and tailing factor of the resulting phases was evaluated using phenol/pyridine and naphthalene/ami-triptyline pairs as probes. The results were compared with those for the same packing treated by liquid phase method and for the commercial products including Zorbax SB-C_(18) and Kromasil C_(18). The separation characteristics of the ODS phase obtained by atomic layer deposition appear to be superior to that by liquid phase method and,comparable with or even better than the commercial products studied. Being solvent-free process amenable to mass production,the described method provides an economical and eco-friendly approach to manufacturing HPLC packing materials on industrial scale.

An indexing system is constructed,based on the implementation of prevention and control technology for chronic non-communicable diseases in community health service institutions,using both literature review and Delphi method,and using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to calculate the weight of the indexing system.The system comprises three level-1 indexes,8 level-2 indexes and 33 level-3 indexes.The research proposed a transition from emphasis of therapeutic means to prevention,and emphasis on prevention and control technologies to the high-risk population in the prevention and control technology of chronic non-communicable diseases,along with development of techniques and measures to encourage behavioral changes of the population with chronic diseases.

Objective To discuss the therapeutic effect of ulinastatin combined with dexamethasone on blast-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in rabbits.Methods Thirty-eight New Zealand white rabbits with blast-induced ALI were divided into four groups according to the random number table:injury group (n =8),treatment group Ⅰ (dexamethasone alone,n =10),treatment group Ⅱ (ulinastatin alone,n =10),combination therapy group (dexamethasone + ulinastatin,n =10).In addition,8 uninjured rabbits were randomly selected as control group.Treatment groups were given relevant medication by intramuscular injection at 0.5,12,24,36 and 48 hours after successful modeling.Injury group and control group were given equal volume of isotonic saline at the same time.Parameters of respiratory rate,oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2),TNF-α,IL-6,IL-8 and neutrophil elastase (NE)were detected before and afterfirst treatment at 6,24,48 and 72 hours.All rabbits were sacrificed after 72 hoars to detect TNF-α,IL-6,IL-8 and NE contents in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and to measure wet to dry lung weight ratio.HE staining was performed to observe pathological changes of lung tissues Results In contrast,respiratory rate was high in injury group at each time point,which increased to the peak (75.0 ± 7.4) times/min at 6 hours far higher than (33.0 ± 4.5) times/min in control group (P ＜0.01).Wet to dry lung weight ratio and TNF-α,IL-6 as well as IL-8 contents of the peripheral blood and BAI.F in injury group were significantly higher than those in control group (P ＜0.01).PaO2/ FiO2 in injury group was decreased to the lowest level of (180.5 ± 12.6)mmHg at 72 hours far lower than (403.7-8.0)mmHg in control group (P ＜0.01).While improvements were observed in treatment groups with respect to these indicators,and significantly much better results were detected in combination therapy group rather than in treatment groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Ulinastatin combined with dexamethasone is an effective therapy on blast-induced ALI in rabbits,and the effect is significantly better than that with single use of uliinastatin or dexamethasone.

Objective To evaluate the left ventricular diastolic function in coronary artery disease (CAD)patients without regional wall motion abnormality by real-time three-dimensional specke tracking imaging(RT3D-STI),and to investigate the value of RT3D-STI in detecting CAD.Methods According on coronary angiography,92 patients without regional wall motion abnormality were divided into two groups:control group(n = 21 ),without coronary artery stenosis;case group (n = 50 ),coronary stenosis group. Two dimensional images and the three-dimensional full volume dynamic images of left ventricle were collected.Routine parameters and end-systolic left ventricular globle longitudinal strain (GLS),globle circumferential strain (GCS),globle area strain (GAS),globle radial strain (GRS)and corresponding strain imaging diastolic index (SI-DI)were aquired,respectively.The parameters by RT3D-STI were analyzed to diagnose coronary artery stenosis.Results Compared with control group,there were no significant difference in routine parameters,GLS,GRS,GAS and GCS(P >0.05 ).Longitudinal SI-DI(L-SI-DI),area SI-DI(A-SI-DI),radial SI-DI (R-SI-DI),circumferential SI-DI (C-SI-DI)in case group were significantly reduced compared with control group (P <0.05).The sensitivity of L-SI-DI,A-SI-DI,R-SI-DI and C-SI-DI were 90.5%,81 .0%,85.7%,81 .0%,and the specificity of them were 82.0%,78.0%,68%,56%, respectively,L-SI-DI was the best in sensitivity and specificity.L-SI-DI,A-SI-DI,R-SI-DI were significantly correlated with Gensini score (r = -0.706,-0.547,-0.410 P < 0.05 ).Conclusions RT3D-STI can quantitatively assess the early changes of left ventricular diastolic function,which has important significance for early diagnosis of coronary artery stenosis.
