J4. 2010, 36 (3):  456-460. 
Abstract ( 984 )   PDF (3755KB) ( 566 )  

Abstract:Objective  To investigate the effects of 125I seed on the growth and programmed cell death of human glioma cell line SHG-44,and clarify the action mechanism of the related genes in this process. Methods SHG-44 glioma cells were cultivated in vitro, and divided into control group and treatment group.The inhibitory effect of 125I on SHG-44 cell proliferation was determined by MTT method. The  morphological changes of SHG-44 cells were examined by  electron microscopy, TUNEL method and Acridine Orange/Ethidium bromide double fluorescent staining. The gene expresion profile was established by using gene chip technique. Results 125I seed had inhibitory effect on  the proliferation of SHG-44 cells cultivated in vitro in a dose and time-dependent manner.The result of MTT showed that the A value of SHG-44 cells treated with 125I seed was significantly decreased with the increasing of radiation dose and prolongation of time.The inhibitory rate of SHG-44 cells after treated with 125I seed for 3 d was 50%,there was significant difference compared with control group(P<0.05). Autophagy was frequently observed under transmission electron microscope in SHG-44 cells.The number of cells at  S phase  was  reduced while the number of cells at  G1 and G2/M phase was increased.Although the apoptosis in SHG-44 cells was increased,but not more than 2%. There were 56 differential expression genes of SHG-44 cells after exposure to 125I including 36  up-regulation genes  and 20   down-regulation genes. Conclusion 125I seed can inhibit the proliferation of SHG-44 glioma cells in a dose-dependent manner by inducing the programmed cell death. There may be non-apoptotic programmed cell death (autophagy) in SHG-44 glioma cell line after induction by 125I at relatively low concentration. These results suggest that the mechanism of 125I-induced proliferation inhibitory effect and apoptosis in SHG-44 cells may be related to the genes of p53 and ATM pathway,C-myc family ,p16 family ,Bcl-2 family,TNF ligand family and TNF receptor family genes.

CHEN Yu, WANG Chun-Mei, CHANG Jing, LI Yan
J4. 2010, 36 (3):  574-577. 
Abstract ( 1125 )  

Abstract:Objective
To analysis the clinical distribution and resistance characteristics in isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii(Ab), and provide evidence for clinical prevention and therapy. Methods 1 504 Ab strains were isolated from clinical specimens in Xuanwu Hospital of Beijing Capital Medical Univercity from January, 2006 to October, 2009. The clinical distribution and the resistance results of Ab were analyzed retrospectively. Results The majority of these Ab strains was distributed in ICUs(665 strains, account for 44.2%) and emergency wards(123 strains, account for 8.2%). Other common wards isolated 716 strains(account for 47.6%). The majority of these Ab strains was isolated from sputum(1 304 strains, account for 89.6%). The resistance of Ab showed the rising tendency to all kinds of antibiotics, especially to imipenem. Despite the resistance rate of imipenem acquired 71.8% in 2009, it was the most sensitive drug of treating Ab(the sensitivity was 28%).The resistance rate of cefotaxime(CTX) was 100% in 2006, whose application was decreased in 2007, but decrea
sed to 33.3% in 2008. Multi-drug resistance Ab had been emerged. Conclusion The majority of Ab distributes in ICU.Carbapenems are the most sensitive drugs of treating Ab. If a highly resistant drug is stopped using over a period of time, the sensitivity of  Ab to antibiotic  may be increased.

Abstract ( 1230 )  

Abstract:Objective
To compare the efficacy between  two different methods of internal fixation  in the treatment of senile osteoporotic complicated fractures of  proximal humerus.  Methods
125 senile patients with osteoporotic complicated fracture were divided into two groups to receive different internal fixation and surgical treatment (Kirschner needle or traditional internal fixation was Group A, internal fixation of locking compression plate was Group B, and there were two respective subsections). There were 42 patients with Ⅲ-part fracture according to Neer classification receiving Kirschner needle or traditional internal fixation(Group A1), 29 patients with Ⅲ-part fracture receiving internal fixation of locking compression plate(Group B1). There were 19 patients with Ⅳ-part fracture receiving Kirschner needle or traditional internal fixation(Group A2), 35 patients with Ⅳ-part fracture receiving internal fixation of locking compression plate(Group B2).The patients were  followed up for 6 to 24 months (average 12.2 months).Neer score system was used to appraise therapeutic effect, and 80 points was defined as excellent and good. Results There were 29 cases exceeding or equaling to 80 points in Group A1, the excellent and good rate was 69.05%, while the patients in Group B1 were 26 and the excellent and good rate was 89.66% , there was significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). There were 8 patients exceeding or equaling to 80 points in Group A2, the excellent and good rate was 42.11%, while the patients in Group B2 were 25  and the excellent and good rate was 71.43%,there was significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion   Compared with traditional fixation, locking compression plate has advantage in treatment of  senile osteoporotic complicated fractures of  proximal humerus

Abstract ( 840 )  

Abstract:Objective
To explore the relative factors of low bone mineral density in old women in order to provide a theoretical basis for early prevention and treatment for osteoporosis in old women. Methods Using dual-energy    X-ray   absorptiometry (DEXA),the ulna and radius bone mineral densities of 915 old women who were 60-74 year-old women retired workers of China First Automobile Works were determined. Questionnaire was divided into age,the intakes of rice,coarse food grain,marine products,milk,acidophilous milk,coffee,bean milk,flour,eggs,fruit,whether smoking or not,whether drinking or not and years of menopause,the body height and the body weight were measured at the same time. Results Age,whether take in flour,eggs and fruit frequently,whether smoking or not,postmenopausal years and body mass index(BMI) were correlated with bone mineral density(P<0.05);multiple gradual regressive analysis demonstrated that  the age was negatively correlated with bone mineral density(B=-0.440,P<0.05),the postmenopausal year  was negatively correlated with bone mineral density(B=-0.314,P<0.05),smoking was negatively correlated with bone mineral density(B=-0.650,P<0.05). BMI was positively correlated with bone mineral density(B=0.959,P<0.05).Conclusion Old age,long post-menopausal years,low BMI,and smoking are relative factors of primary osteoporosis in old women aged 60-74 years.

Abstract ( 949 )  

Abstract:Objective
To analyze the relation ship between the quality of drinking water and the onset of urolithiasis  in Jilin province and discuss its genesis and prevention strategies. Methods According to the distribution of urolithiasis  in different areas of Jilin province,the contents of main trace elements and main anions of the drinking water from different places were detected. The relationship  between the quality of drinking water and urolithiasis  was analyzed and the method to improve the quality of drinking water was suggested. Results There were obvious differences of the pH,Na+,Ca+ and HCO-3 of drinking water between different areas (P<0.05),and the levels of pH and anions in the area with high morbidity of urolithiasis  were higher. The relation coefficient between pH of drinking water and urolithiasis  was 0.781,and the relation coefficient between anions of drinking water and urolithiasis  was 0.707. It indicates  that there were some relations between the quality of drinking water and the onset of urolithiasis in Jilin province. Conclusion If the water has more calcium,sodium and high pH value, it will be easy to form urinary stone. So it must be purified before drinking.
