RESUMO
Objective@#To evaluate 2017 poliovirus surveillance in Qinghai Province.@*Methods@#According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 4 th edition of the polio laboratory manual procedure for virus isolation, the isolated L20B positive strain was identified as intratypic differentiation (ITD) by the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC). The National Polio Laboratory performed the nucleotide sequence determination of the capsid protein VP1 coding region of poliovirus (PV) and analyzed the poliovirus surveillance and the result of analysis of the cases with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) reported in Qinghai Province in 2017 and stool samples of healthy children.@*Results@#In 2017, Qinghai CDC Polio Laboratory received specimens of 211 AFP cases and healthy stool samples. PV2 strains were isolated with a separation rate of 0.95%. Non-polio enterovirus (NPEV) strains were isolated from 25 strains with the isolation rate of 11.85%. Two PVs were used for ITD. All of them were vaccine-associated strains.@*Conclusions@#In 2017, the Qinghai CDC Polio Laboratory did not find any poliovirus and vaccine-derived poliovirus in the AFP cases and stool samples from healthy persons, maintaining the polio-free status.
RESUMO
Objective@#To investigate the genetic characteristics of VP1 coding region of enterovirus Coxsackievirus A16(CV-A16) and etiological features of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in 2017 in Xining city.@*Methods@#The pharyngeal swab specimens were collected from HFMD patients, and detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). For CV-A16 positive samples, virus isolation was performed. Then RNA was extracted, and then VP1 coding region was amplified by RT-PCR.

RESUMO
Objective To investigate the role of microRNA-155 (miR-155) on post-transcription regulation of SH2 domain-containing inositol 5'-phosphatase 1 (SHIP1) gene expression in the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to detect the expression of miR-155 and SHIP1 mRNA in the AML patients and controls.miR-155 mimics was transfected into U937cells (U937m) by using X-treme GENE siRNA transfection reagent.Cells without transfection (U937c) and cells with negative transfection (U937mc) were used as controls.RT-PCR was performed to detect the expression of miR-155 and SHIP1 mRNA in these cells.The expression of SHIP1,TAKT and pAKT were detected by Western blot in U937 cells.Apoptosis was studied by flow cytometry (FCM).Results The average level of SHIP1 protein content in 15 samples of patients with AML-M4 or AML-M5 from 30 AML patients was significantly lower compared with that of patients with the other types of AML,and the levels of miR-155 were significantly higher in the same group of patients (P < 0.05).Significantly decreased levels of SHIP1 protein were found in U937m cells compared that of U937c and U937mc (P < 0.05).Significantly decreased rate of apoptosis was observed in U937m cells compared with that of U937mc and U937c.U937m cells also exhibited no alteration in total AKT content,while increased p-AKT levels were found (P< 0.05).Conclusion SHIP1 was also a primary target of miR-155 in AML.Overexpression of miR-155 could activate PI3K-AKT pathway to depressing SHIP1 and decrease the apoptosis rate of AML cells.

RESUMO
Aim To explore the effects and mecha-nisms of choro-oxime derivatives on spatial learning and memory impairment in Kunming mice and SD rats induced by scopolamine and Aβ1-42 , respectively. Methods 40 Kunming mice were randomly divided into 5 groups: control group, model group, donepezil treatment group, arimoclomol treatment group and TCO-2 treatment group. There were 8 mice in each group. Mice of control group were established by intra-peritoneal injection of saline, and mice of other groups were injected with scopolamine and caused memory im-pairment. Both control group and model group were treated with solvent by intraperitoneal administration;donepezil treatment group received donepezil by intra-gastric administration; arimoclomol treatment group and TCO-2 treatment group were given the correspond-ing drugs by abdominal injection, respectively. The solvent and drugs were given at the same time every morning for 8 days. Spatial learning and memory abili-ty were tested by Morris water maze from the fifth day of the drugs administration. 40 SD rats were divided into 5 groups the same as the dementia model men-tioned above. Mice of control group were established by intracerebroventricular injection of saline, and mice of other groups were injected with insoluble Aβ1-42 to be induced of memory impairment. Solvent and drugs were also delivered as mentioned above. Morris water maze was carried out from the fifth day of the drug de-livery. After that, acetyl cholinesterase activity of hip-pocampus was tested with acetyl cholinesterase reagent kit; the content of Aβ1-42 in hippocampus was meas-ured by ELISA assay kit;the expression of phosphoryl-ated tau proteins was detected by Western Blot. Re-sults In both two dementia models, choro-oxime de-rivatives could improve the spatial learning and memory ability, shorten the escape latency and increase the times of crossing the former platform. Choro-oxime de-rivatives could also inhibit the acetyl cholinesterase ac-tivity in animal brain, decrease the concentration of Aβ1-42 and the expression of phosphorylated tau pro-teins in the dementia rats’ hippocampus. Conclusions Spatial learning and memory deficits induced by sco-polamine and Aβ1-42 could be reversed by choro-oxime derivatives. It may be concerned with enhancement of the cholinergic system functions and reduction of the levels of Aβ1-42 and phosphorylated tau proteins in the brain.
RESUMO
Femur fracture from falls is considered one of the most serious types of the elderly. FEA has proved to be an extremely useful tool in the structure analysis of the proximal femur. In this paper, a FEA model of proximal femur is introduced, and Hoffman failure criteria are built based on the experimental strength data for both cortical bone and trabecular bone of the femur from some references. The FEA model and the failure criteria are verified using other researcher's experimental results. The predicted trabecular failure load was only 0.5% lower than the experimental data and cortical failure load was 4.2% higher than the experimental result. This result shows that our FEA model, combined with the Hoffman criterion for both cortical bone and trabecular bone, can effectively predict the structural capacity of the femur during falling.

The effects of loading conditions on the structural capacity of the proximal femur were investigated parametrically by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) combined with Hoffman failure criterion. The loading conditions included the fall configuration angles, load locations and the friction resistance in hip joint. The results of this parametric study revealed that the load locations are the keys to determining the structural capacity of the proximal femur. There are two low peaks of the structural capacity when the loads are applied to femoral head. If the impact load were applied in this area, the fracture risk would be great. The frictional resistance of the hip joint can severely affect the failure load, which has far reaching implications in terms of osteoarthritis.

Objectives: To study the differences between sevoflurane and isoflurane in abdomen surgery anesthetized with the target-controlled close-loop anesthesia system.Methods: Forty patients (ASA I-II) were divided into sevoflurane group (n=25) and isoflurane group (n= 15).BIS value of 55 was the control variable index.The target-controlled infusion system of sevoflurane was administered for the maintenance of anesthesia in both groups after intravenous nduction. The BIS values,blood pressures,heart rates and doses of assistant drugs were recorded and analyzed.Results: No statistical difference was observed in BIS、HR and pulse pressure in two groups. During the maintenance of anesthesia, oscillations of BIS and SBP in sevoflurane group were statistically less than those in isoflurane group (P
