RESUMEN
It is rare for one fluorophore scaffold to harbor both positive and negative solvatochromism. Herein, we tailor chalcone analogues to achieve both positive- and negative-polarity sensitivity of fluorescence intensity. We explore two chalcones of opposite solvatochromism to simultaneously detect the co-aggregation of wild-type and mutant superoxide dismutase that cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disease.

@#NmethylD-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are ionotropic glutamate receptors that are widely expressed in the central nervous system.Through mediating Ca2+ influx for excitatory synaptic transmission,NMDA receptors play an important role in synaptic plasticity,learning,and memory.Migraine is a common primary headache that brings serious life and mental burdens to patients because of frequent attacks.The pathogenesis of migraine is still unclear.Glutamate and NMDA receptors have been demonstrated to be closely related to the occurrence of migraine.This paper reviews progress on the association of NMDA receptors with migraine and the use of NMDA receptor antagonists for the prevention and treatment of migraine,aiming to provide a reference for the pathogenesis and drug treatment of migraine.
RESUMEN
According to different biological functions, breast cancer can be divided into triple-negative breast cancer and non-triple-negative breast cancer. The former has stronger proliferation and invasion ability and faster metastasis. Its immune tissue indicators are estrogen receptor (estrogen receptor, ER) and progesterone receptor. Both the body (progesterone receptor,PR) and human epidermal growth factor 2 receptor (human epidermal growthFactor receptor, HER2) are negative. Surgery and radiotherapy are traditional therapies for TNBC, but these therapies have many side effects and poor prognosis. In order to better prevent the spread and treatment of TNBC, it is particularly important to study the growth, proliferation and apoptosis mechanisms of cancer cells. In recent years, studies have shown that a variety of signaling pathways, lncRNA, and miRNA all affect the growth process of TNBC. In recent years, studies have shown that a variety of signaling pathways, lncRNA, and miRNA all affect the growth process of TNBC. This article reviews domestic and foreign studies on the relevant regulatory mechanisms of TNBC cell proliferation and apoptosis, aiming to clarify the importance of breast cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis pathways, and provide new ideas for drug development for TNBC targeted therapy.
RESUMEN
The construction and operation of the hospital-wide radiation protection management information system is of great significance for improving the efficiency and quality of radiation protection management. A hospital has built a hospital-wide radiation protection management system, which consisted of four modules: radiation staff management module, protection items management module, site and equipment management module, and self-inspection module. The system adopted B/S mode, carried the lightweight J2EE framework-SpringBoot framework, and used mybatis, which was flexible and practical, as the persistence layer of the system, to store the data completely in the SQLServer database.Java language was used as the system development language, and the front and back-end separation architecture was used. Each of the four modules implemented the management responsibility departments and responsible personnel to carry out the all-round management of radiation protection, and realized the integrated, information-based and standardized management of radiation protection management in the hospital.
RESUMEN
:To explore the value of quantitative perfusion histogram parameters of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in pathological classification of uterine leiomyoma and its correlation with Ki-67 protein expression. Thirty five patients with uterine leiomyoma confirmed by operation and pathology at Shaoxing People's Hospital from October 2015 to September 2017 were analyzed retrospectively,including 15 cases of ordinary type,8 cases of cellular type and 12 cases of degenerative type. All patients were examined by pelvic DCE-MRI before operation,and the histogram parameters (median,mean,skewness,kurtosis,energy,entropy) of various quantitative perfusion parameters,including volume transport constant (K),rate constant (K),extravascular extracellular space distribute volume per unit tissue volume (V),blood plasma volume per unit volume of tissue (V) were calculated,and the efficacy of different parameters in pathological classification of uterine leiomyoma was evaluated by ROC curve. The expression of Ki-67 protein in uterine leiomyoma was detected by immunohistochemical method,and the correlation between histogram parameters and Ki-67 protein expression was analyzed by Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis. The median and mean values of K,K,V and V in the cellular group were higher than those in the degenerative group and the ordinary group(<0.05 or <0.01),while the skewness of V,the skewness and kurtosis of K in the cellular group were lower than those in the ordinary group (all <0.05). The entropy of K in the cellular group was higher than that in the degenerative group and the ordinary group (all < 0.05). The entropy of V in the cellular group was higher than that in the ordinary group (<0.01). The median,mean,skewness of K,median and mean of K,median and mean of V,median,mean,energy and entropy of V were correlated with Ki-67 expression(all <0.05). The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the median threshold of K was 0.994/min,the sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of cellular uterine leiomyoma were 100.0% and 77.8% respectively,and the area under the ROC curve was 0.949. When the mean threshold of K was 1.170/min,the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing cellular uterine leiomyoma were 100.0% and 77.8% respectively,and the area under the ROC curve was 0.958. The area under the ROC curve of K (entropy),K (median,mean),V (median,mean,entropy) in the diagnosis of cellular uterine leiomyoma were 0.755-0.907. :DCE-MRI quantitative perfusion histogram parameters have high diagnostic value in differentiating pathological types of uterine leiomyoma,especially for cellular uterine leiomyoma.

Objective: To compare the application value between medical adhesive and Hook-wire in pre-thoracoscopy localization of small pulmonary nodules (≤ 30 mm). Methods: Data of 107 patients with small pulmonary nodules who underwent thoracoscopic wedge resection, segmental or lobectomy were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into medical adhesive group (88 cases with 90 nodules) and Hook-wire group (19 cases with 19 nodules) according to pre-thoracoscopy localization method. The location of lesion, nodule size, distance between nodule and pleura, nature of nodule(benign or malignant), surgery method and complications (including pneumothorax, pulmonary hemorrhage, pain and cough) were compared between the two groups. Binary Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the complications' related risk factors. Results: There was no significant difference of the location of lesion, nodules size, distance between nodule and pleura, nature of nodule nor the method of thoracoscopic surgery between the two groups (all P>0.05). The pre-thoracoscopy localization success rate of both two groups were 100%. The overall complication rate and the incidence of pulmonary hemorrhage in medical adhesive group were significantly lower than those in Hook-wire group (both P<0.01). The localization method was an independent risk factor for complications after pre-thoracoscopy localization, pulmonary hemorrhage and chest pain, while the distance from the nodule to pleura was an independent risk factor for pulmonary hemorrhage. Conclusion: Medical adhesive can be used for pre-thoracoscopy localization of small pulmonary nodule with lower complication rate compared with Hook-wire.

Objective To analyze the causes, characteristics and solutions of medical complaints against five tertiary general hospitals in Shandong province, and provide references for the hospitals to improve their quality of care and to build a harmonious relationship between doctors and patients. Methods A retrospective analysis method was used to analyze the causes, solutions and subjects of 1 049 medical complaints against five tertiary general hospitals in Shandong province from 2012 to 2015. Results Among the departments complained, orthopedics(165 cases, 15.7% ), and obstetrics and gynecology(136 cases, 13.0% )topped the rest. The causes of complaints mainly focued on the quality and effect of surgery(355 cases, 33.8% ), diagnosis and treatment(269 cases, 25.6% ), and service attitude(204 cases, 19.4% ). For outpatient/emergency departments, the patients mostly complained on " service attitude" (125 cases, 36.1% ), while the causes of complaints by inpatients were mainly " quality of surgery and effects" (332 cases, 44.8% ). In terms of the dispute solution pathways, consultation between doctors and patients became the most useful one(353 cases, 84.5%), and the third-party mediation approach(56 cases, 13.4% )also played an important role. Conclusions The hospitals should comprehensively strengthen their medical quality management, improve the quality of " service contact" and patient satisfaction. They are also recommended to establish a perfect complaint handling mechanism for higher patient satisfaction. The government should set up specialized courts for medical disputes and improve the efficiency of judicial solution of such disputes.
RESUMEN
Objective To provide reference for service optimization of information suppliers and doctors through analyzing the residents'value cognition and utilization of online health information.Methods Questionnaires were distributed in June 2016 to 1 460 residents aged 18 or above and having experienced medical visits themselves or accompanying others in one year. They were surveyed to learn their health information cognition and utilization behavior. The data so acquired were subject to constituent ratio and Chi square test analysis. Results In terms of their use of online health information, 58.5% of the respondents would consult relevant information before medical visits, 64.3% would verify the doctor's diagnosis online following such visits. In case of any inconsistences, 28.2% of them would seek second opinion at another hospital. Statistical differences were discovered in the cognitive difference of residents of different sexes on "internet health information inquiry can relieve tension" , and in the utilization difference of residents of different ages and educational on " whether to consult online health information before medical visits" ( P<0.05). Conclusions The residents'value cognition of online health information is rational in general, but there are also some cognitive behaviors worthy of notice. Information conflicts may incur doctor-patient conflicts and repetitive medical visits. Stakeholders should ensure the professionalism and quality of the information providers. The doctors should master the communication skills and pay attention to the potential impact of online health information.

RESUMEN
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a distinctive subtype of acute myeloid leukemia with a distinct biology and clinical presentation. Its molecular biology characteristic is a aberrant chromosomal translocation of the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene on chromosome 15 and the retinoic acid receptor α(RARα) gene on chromosome 17. This translocation generates PML-RARα fusion protein, which plays an important role in the genesis, development, diagnosis and therapy of APL. The PML protein has a close relationship with PML-RARαfusion gene. This article mainly summarizes the character, the function of PML protein and the degradation pathway of PML-RARα.
