Abstract:The specialties offered by the independent colleges in China have shown up a tendency toward resemblance,which can been found in the following aspects:the majority of those specialties are directly transplanted from their parent universities;different independent colleges offer similar specialties;the specialties are mainly under same classified courses;the newly-set specialties tend to be same. Such situation mainly resulted from the system of specialty setting in our country and the particularity of independent colleges as well. In order to avoid the problems above and form respective features,the independent colleges may set up major orientation actively,enhance the ranks of teachers,create space for specialty development,handle the relation between regionality and openness properly,and strengthen the establishment of specialty connotation.

Abstract:Objective:To investigate the effects of ischemic postconditioning on expression of liver nitric oxide synthase(NOS) in rat. Methods:The model of 70% hepatic ischemia reperfusion was constructed in SD male rat. Thirty two SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:sham group (SO group,8 rats),ischemia reperfusion group (IR group,12 rats) and ischemic postconditioning group (IPO group,12 rats). In group IPO,rats were treated as IR group,but at the onset of reperfusion,reflow was initiated with 10 s of full blood flow,followed by 10 s of re-occlusion,and repeated six times. After reperfusion for 3 hours,changes of ALT,AST and NO in different groups were compared. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blot were used to detct the expressions of NOS mRNA and protein respectively. Histopathological changes were observed by light microscope. Results:Compared with the SO group,ALT,AST and NO in serum were significantly higher (P < 0.01) than those in the other groups,and the mRNA and protein expressions of NOS were also obviously increased. Compared to the group IR,the levels of ALT,AST were significantly lower (P < 0.01),while NO was significantly higher(P < 0.01) in the IPO group. The expressions of NOS mRNA and protein were increased in the IPO group. Under light microscope,the group IR and IPO both showed typical pathological changes of ischemic-reperfusion injury,but the injury was extenuated in the IPO group. Conclusion:Ischemic postconditioning can protect liver from ischemic-reperfusion injury. The mechanism might be related with the induction of eNOS in tissue and the increase of NO in serum.

Abstract:Objective:To investigate the effects of high glucose on apoptosis and expression of apoptosis-related genes in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Methods:Cultured cardiomyocytes were exposed to high glucose (20 mmol/L) for 48 h. Laser confocal microscopy, TUNEL assay and flow cytometry were utilized to detect cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Real-time PCR was performed to identify mRNA expression of apoptosis-related P53,Pax3, Bmp4,Slug and Msx1 genes in the glucose group and the control group. Results:Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was obviously observed in the glucose group under the laser confocal microscope. TUNEL assay indicated that cardiomyocyte apoptotic index in the glucose group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Flow cytometry revealed that cardiomyocyte apoptotic rate in the glucose group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Real-time PCR Showed that the expressions of P53 and Msx were up-regulated in the glucose group while the expressions of Pax3, Bmp4 and Slug were down-regulated. Conclusion:High glucose can disrupt apoptosis-related genes’ expression, including P53,Pax3, Bmp4,Slug and Msx1, which may be related to the cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

Abstract:Objective:To evaluate the effects of prone position ventilation combined with recruitment maneuvers(RM) on oxygenation and lung recruited volume(RV) in oleic acid-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome in canines. Methods:Twenty-four healthy canines were randomly divided into four groups after oleic acid-induced lung injury:supine position group(SC),supine position+RM group(SS),prone position group(PC) and prone position+RM group(PS). Oxygenation index and RV were measured for five hours after ARDS was reproduced. Results:(1)Compared to the SC group,oxygenation index in SS group was increased only at 2 h after onset of ARDS(P < 0.05),while that of PC and PS group improved both at 2 h and 5 h after onset of ARDS(all P < 0.05). Compared to the SC,SS,and PC group,PS group oxygenation index was much higher at 2 h and 5 h after onset of ARDS(all P < 0.05). (2)There was no significant difference of RV among the four group at 0 h after onset of ARDS(all P > 0.05). Compared to the SC group,RV in SS,PC and PS group was much higher at 2 h after onset of ARDS(all P < 0.05). At 5 h after onset of ARDS,the RV of the SS group had a tendency to decrease while the RV of the PC and PS group had a tendency to increase. Conclusion:Prone position ventilation combined with RM improved oxygenation significantly. The increase of RV may be one of the most important mechanisms of its positire effect.

Abstract:Objective:To evaluate diagnositic value of prostate specific antigen (PSA),free/total PSA (F/T PSA),and PSA density (PSAD) in prostate biopsy. Methods:Total serum PSA and free PSA were detected while F/T PSA value and PSAD were calculated in 285 patients who underwent transrectal ultrasonography-guided prosate biopsy. Optimum PSA,F/T PSA value and PSAD for detecting Pca were discussed. Results:When the cut off value of PSA was set as>15 ng/ml,the diagnostic sensitivity,specificity and the positive predictive value were 70.0%,68.5% and 58.6% respectively. When PSA <15 ng/ml,the difference of PSA between BPA and Pca groups was not significant(t=0.018,P > 0.05),while F/T value and PSAD showed significant differences(t=4.137,3.158,P < 0.01). When the cue off value of F/T was set as 0.16 and the cue off value of PSAD as 0.35 ng/(ml·cm3),the sensitivity,specificity and the positive predictive values were higher. Conclusion:PCa should be highly suspected when PSA is more than 15 ng/ml. The detection rate of prostate cancer could be significantly improved in combination of F/T and/or PSAD.

Abstract:Objective:To retrospectively compare the differences between Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and traditional open surgery(TOS) on lobectomy for non-small cell lung carcinoma. Methods:The patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma undergone lobectomy from June,2008 to March,2009 were devided to two groups:VATS group and TOS. The operation time,perioperative blood loss,time for chest drainage,postoperative pain,hospital stay and cost,and complications of two groups were analyzed. Results:The operation time,time for chest drainage and hospital stay in VATS group are similar to TOS group. Perioprative blood loss and postoperative pain in VATS group are less than those in TOS group significantly. The hospital cost in VATS group is higher significantly than that in TOS group. No death occurred in two groups. Conclusion:Lobectomy with VATS caused less wound pain,blood loss and postoperative complications. The patients with VATS recovered more rapidly. But the cost was much higher.

Abstract:Objective:To explore the risk factors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) in Chinese. Methods:A case-control study including 233 cases and 380 controls and univariate and multivariate logistic regression were employed to evaluate the association of the factors in childhood ALL. Analysis was carried out with SPSS13.0 software. Results:In the univariate logistic analysis,subjects living without parents,with immature labor,un-spontaneous delivery,biocide exposure,paternal alcohol exposure,actino-exposure,houses painting and chemical exposure were the statistically significant risk factors of childhood ALL. Multivariate logistic analysis also revealed that living without parents,with immature labor,biocide exposure,paternal alcohol exposure,and houses painting were the risk factors. Conclusion:Living without parents,with immature labor,biocide exposure,paternal alcohol exposure,and houses painting are associated with the childhood ALL.
