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.

Objective To analyze the prevalent feature and variant tendency of Scrub Typhus in Guangdong Province from 2006 to 2012, and provide a basis of strategy and measure on prevention and protection of Scrub Typhus. Methods Clinical information of all individual cases was gained from China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. Cochran-Armitage trend χ2 test was used to describe the variance of Scrub Typhus incidence and the clinical cases of 2013 were predicted by autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, while descriptive epidemiological analysis was adopted to describe the endemic distribution, seasonal characteristics and population distribution of Scrub Typhus. Results A total of 8 163 Scrub typhus cases were reported in Guangdong Province from 2006 to 2012. Annual mean incidence of the disease was 1.15/100 000 with the incidence showing an upward tendency (χ2 = 3 191.976, P < 0.01). There were 14 dead clinical cases reported with a fatality rate to be 1.72‰(14/8 163). Totally 3 166 people were predicted to infect Scrub Typhus in 2013 by ARIMA model. The disease was prevalent from the end of May to early October and the peak time was in late August (Z = 2 303.71, P < 0.01). The top five cities developed Scrub Typhus were Zhaoqing, Guangzhou, Yunfu, Shaoguan and Qingyuan. Male-female ratio was 1.00 ∶ 1.08 in all reported cases in which 52.78%(4 309/8 163) of them aged from 40 to 65 years old and 59.30%(4 841/8 163) of them were farmers. Conclusions The incidence of Scrub Typhus is rising in Guangdong Province, with the prevalent peak in summer and autumn, and rural populations are at high risk. The most effective preventions are strengthening health education , enhancing individual protection and protecting key populations in special districts.

Objective　To study the expressions of some apoptosis related to genes in lung tissues and their relationship to the pathogenesis in rats to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH). Methods　A total of 60 rats were employed and equally divided into 5 groups, i.e. control, HPH, hemin, Tin Protoporphyrin (Snpp) and low concentration CO groups. Of them, the rats from middle 3 groups were treated with hypoxia under normal pressure for 7 h in every day, 3 weeks except Sunday. Hemin and Tin Protoporphyrin (Snpp) were given half an hour before hypoxia while low concentration CO after 2 h of hypoxia. The expression of bcl-2, bax, Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) were detected with immunohistochemical staining, in situ cell death detection, DNA fragment detection, and in situ hybridization. Results　In low concentration CO and hemin group, typical DNA ladder bands and apoptotic cells were found in lung tissues, and the expressions of Fas, FasL, bax, and bcl-2 mRNA were increased in the epithelial cells of alveoli, vascular and bronchial walls. And the expression of bcl-2 mRNA was decreased than in hypoxic group. Conclusion　CO can regulate the expression of bcl-2, bax, Fas and FasL, these apoptotic genes may involve in the regulation of cell apoptosis of lung tissues under HPH and play important roles in the genesis and development of chronic obstructive lung disorders.

Objective To investigate the influence of early hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on cerebral edema and neural function in patients after minimally invasive surgery for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods A random number table was used to divide 148 ICH surgery patients into a control group (n =75) and a treatment group (n =73).In the treatment group,HBO was administered in 51 cases 6-24 hours after surgery and then once a day for twenty days.Cerebral edema volume was measured by brain CT before the operation and on the 3rd,7th,14th and 21st day after the surgery.Neurological impairment was scored at the same time points.Results Average cerebral edema volume was significantly smaller in the treatment group than in the control group on the 7th,14th and 21st days,but not on the 3rd day.The neurological impairment scores (NIS) after therapy were significantly lower than that before therapy in both groups.The two groups' average scores were not significantly different before the operation or on the 3rd day,but they were significantly lower in the treatment group thereafter.Conclusion Early HBO therapy can significantly reduce cerebral edema and contribute to nerve functional recovery in patients after minimally invasive ICH surgery.

Objective To explore the preliminarily clinical value of strain rate parameters using velocity vector imaging (VVI) evaluating left ventricular regional endocardial systolic function in patients with coronary artery heart disease (CAD).Methods A total of eight six inner subjects who were suspected as CAD was enrolled in the study.Patients with the vascular stenosis rate ≥ 50％ were defined as the CAD group,patients with the vascular stenosis rate ＜ 50％ were defined as the coronary atherosclerosis group,and patients with the completely normal angiographic results were included in the control group,according to the results of angiography.The left ventricular endocardial systolic strain rate parameters of VVI were obtained in standard long axis views (apical two,three,and four-chamber view) and short axis views (at the level of the mitral valve,papillary muscles,and apex).The strain rate parameters were global longitudinal endocardial systolic strain rate in the apical two,three,and four-chamber views (A2-GLSRs,A3-GLSRs,and A4-GLSRs),global radial endocardial systolic strain rate in short axis view of the mitral valve level,papillary muscles,and apex (MV-GRSRs,PM-GRSRs,and AP-GRSRs),and global circumferential endocardial systolic strain rate in short axis view of the mitral valve level,papillary muscles,and apex (MV-GCSRs,PM-GCSRs,and AP-GCSRs).The parametric differences were compared among three groups.Results All the subjects included in the present study had normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and there was no significant difference in LVEF across three groups.Compared to other groups,the control group had significantly higher E/A ratio.The LV endocardial systolic strain rate parameters were all significantly reduced in the CAD group compared to the control group and the coronary atherosclerosis group (all P ＜ 0.05).Compared to the control group[(-1.37 ± 0.25)/s],the coronary atherosclerosis group [(-1.12 ± 0.42)/s] had significantly lower MV-GCSRs (P ＜0.01).Conclusions VVI is useful for quantitative assessment of the left ventricular systolic function in CAD.MV-GCSRs might have the potential to predict early left ventricle (LV) systolic dysfunction in subjects with coronary artery stenosis ＜ 50％.
