ObjectiveTo study the therapeutic efficacy of lamivudine in preventing the activity of hepatitis B virus in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatitis B virus infection. MethodsFrom March 1999 to March 2000,72patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatitis B virus infection were divided into 2 groups in complete randomization. In group 1,38 patients were treated with lamivudine 100mg/qd during perioperative period. Before and after operation,we detected HBV DNA with assay of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR). The control group(2) wasn't given anti-hepatitis B virus treatment. ResultsThe results showed that in group 2,the copies of HBV DNA in sera one week,two weeks after operations were significantly higher than those before the operation(P<0.01);in group 1,the copies of HBV DNA in sera one week,two weeks after operations were significantly lower than those before operation(P<0.01),all within the safety threshold;between group 1 and group 2,the indexes of ALT in sera and Child status didn't significantly change before and after operation.The postoperative complications were significantly different two weeks after operation.Conclusion It suggests that surgical interventions may result in promoting the process of HBV replication,the activity of HBV infection should be treated in perioperation, and the replication of HBV can be inhibited by lamivudine safely to the safety threshold within a short time, though lamivudine doesn't improve the liver biochemistry significantly.

To fully understand the characteristics of international students and importance, practicality and usefulness of internal medicine, many targeted measures were taken, including im-proving language level of teachers and students, applying case-based learning method and evidence-based medicine and strengthening the cultivation of humanistic spirit and professional ethics. Quality of internal medicine for international students was improved , which provided new ideas for clinical teaching reform.

Objective To assess the clinical performance of plasma exchange (PE) followed by chemotherapy treatment for multiple-myeloma patients with high-viscosity syndrome and renal dysfunction.Methods 20 cases of multiple-myeloma patients with high viscous syndrome and various levels of renal dysfunction,were randomly divided into PE-chemotherapy group (the experiment groups) and chemotherapy-only group (the control group).In the experiment groups,the patients received PE via blood cell separators for 3 times (2 600±580 mLeach time,1 day interval) followed by VAD regimens chemotherapy (0.5 mg vincristine continuous intravenous drip for 12 h,adriamycin 10 mg continuous intravenous drip for 12 h and dexamethasone 40 mg qd1-4).In the control group,patients received standard VAD regimen.After 2 cycles of chemotherapy,globulin (GLB),blood sedimentation (ESR) and hemorheology properties were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results The symptoms of high viscosity syndrome(gingivial blood/nosebleed,dizziness and extremities numbness)in the treatment group were significantly improved compared with that in the control group (P< 0.05).Before and after therapy,the GLB (g/L) were 80.0± 19.6 vs 30.0±10.5 in the treatment group and 85.5±21.5 vs 53.5± 16.0 in the control group (P<0.05),respectively;the Cr (μmol/L) were 359.0±30.5 vs 105.0±25.0 and 362.0±39.6 vs 190.0±43.0,respectively(P<0.05);the ESR (mm/h) were 80.0±22.5 vs 12±0.6 and 83.0±23.6 vs 30.0+3.6 (P<0.05),respectively;the whole blood high shear reductive viscosity were 16.2±2.1 vs 8.5±0.6 and 15.8±2.0 vs 12.8±0.8 (P<0.05),respectively;the whole blood middle shear reductive viscosity were 19.0±0.5 vs 10.8±0.6 and 20.0±0.6 vs 15.2±0.8 (P<0.05),respectively;the whole blood low shear reductive viscosity were 50.3±2.9 vs 28.1±1.2 and 52.7±3.5 vs 40.2±3.5(P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion Plasma exchange treatment combined with sequential chemotherapy presents better clinical performances compared to the chemotherapy-only solution for multiple-myeloma patients with high viscosity syndrome and renal dysfunction.

Objective To explore the probable mechanism of tinnitus and the accompanied symptoms us-ing RS-FMRI. Methods We recruited 10 adults with chronic tinnitus and 10 health adults for fMRI in the resting state. Then we compared the differences of regional homogeneity(REHO)maps and functional connectivity to the whole-brain maps with the auditory cortex as a region of interest between the two groups. Results The REHO maps of tinnitus group showed significant differences in the automated anatomical labeling brain map including the middle frontal_gyrus (right),superior frontal_gyrus (left),entorhinal cortex_(right),middle occipital_gyrus (right),middle occipital gyrus(bilateral),lingual gyrus(left)and cuneate lobe(left). The functional connectivity maps of tinnitus group showed significant differences in lingal_gyrus(left)of AAL brain regions. The p threshold value was<0.001 in all results. Conclusion Tinnitus may cause abnormal neural activity in several non-auditory brain regions,which may be the neurophysiological mechanism of tinnitus accompanied symptoms.

The major satisfaction of college students will influence their learning interest and motivation, and then influence their learning achievement and future employment. Under the guidance of the concept of the micro system engineering of the education reform, the degree of the major satis-faction of the students in TCM colleges is analyzed by SIMPP method. The results show that students' behavior mode such as their preview situation, teaching adaptation, course satisfaction, students' achievement and their attitude of poor academic performance is closely related to the degree of major satisfaction. Teachers can judge the degree of major satisfaction by following these pattern behaviors;improve the rationality and accuracy of the degree of major satisfaction.

The degree of satisfaction of the curriculum is related not only to the degree of the curriculum but also to the degree of the students' development. With the concept of teaching reform micro system engineering, using the SIMPP analysis of the degree of satisfaction of the curriculum, the relevant factors of the students are studied. The results show that, the learning state, learning objec-tives, and the education level of mother affect the students more easily on the curriculum satisfaction. Research shows, in the present curriculum condition, educators should guide the students to study hard, establish a clear and reasonable learning goal, give the students the introduction and analysis of the curriculum, can effectively improve the students on the curriculum satisfaction, enhance the enthusiasm of the study.

In recent years, lower and lower class attendance has plagued the quality of uni-versity teaching. To solve this problem, this study conducted a questionnaire survey in accordance with the concepts of the Education Reform microscopic systems engineering and the method of SIMPP. The results showed that factors affecting student classroom attendance included two aspects: the sub-jective and objective factors. Indicators related to the subjective factors were: the personal attitude when faced with failure exams, the personal learning interest and personal grasp of the main source of knowledge. Indicators related to the objective factors were: school and teachers. Also, this study gave some suggestions on how to improve students' classroom attendance to provide data basis and refer-ence for further study on class attendance.
