Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of rh-LIF on proliferation and differentiation of HL-60 cell line.Methods:HL-60 cells were treated with different dosage of rh-LIF for 3 to 6 days,cell cycle was analysed by flow cytometry,expression of P53 and P21 protein were observed by immunohistochemistry and P53 mRNA were assayed by in situ hybridization.Results:HL-60 cell line could differentiate into monocyte and macrophage cell line in the presence of rh-LIF.The proliferation of HL-60 cells were inhibited in the presence of rh-LIF,the cells stagnated at G 1 stage,while expression of P53,P21 protein and P53 mRNA were increased obviously.Conclusion:The effects of rh-LIF on the proliferation and differentiation of HL-60 cells may be associated with the increase of P53,P21 protein and P53mRNA.

OBJECTIVE:To study the therapeutic effect of L-arginine on collagen metabolism of pulmonary artery in rats with high pulmonary blood flow METHODS:The rat model of pulmonary hypertension was established with an abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava shunting L-arginine was intragastrically given to the rats with shunt in L-arginine group(1g/(kg?d)) for 11 weeks After 11 weeks of experiment,the expressions of collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ in pulmonary artery were detected by immunohistochemical assay RESULTS:The expressions of collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ in shunt group elevated obviously compared with those in control group(P

Objective Medical statistics is an important tool in scientific research and practice.The article was to evaluate the current knowledge, learning needs and related influencing factors of medical statistics among medical doctoral students to provide references for the optimization in the teaching mode of medical statistics. Methods A questionnaire was used to investigate Grade 2014 doctoral students who took medical statistics course before and after the teaching in a medical university. Results The knowl-edge of doctoral students were at different levels and they had different learning requirements.More than 81.4% of the respondents have difficulty in the choice of scientific and reasonable design and the scientific design.Over 50%students had insufficient knowledge of advanced statistics and poor software application ability.They had the demands for more practical cases explanation in theory course, more software teaching hours and some short term specialized courses. Conclusion The university and teachers should carry out teaching reform according to the particularity of doctoral students and teach in small sections according to their knowledge levels of sta-tistics and learning requirements.It is suggested that the teaching should be combined with the students'own research projects in order to improve the teaching effect and improve the students'ability in sta-tistical design and solving the practical problem in scientific research statistics.

Objective: To observe the effects of Tenglong Buzhong Decoction (TLBZD), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on proliferation and apoptosis of colon carcinoma cell line LS174T in vitro. Methods: Human colon carcinoma cell line LS174T and human colon epithelial cell line CRL-1790 were treated with different doses of TLBZD. Cell proliferation was detected with cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and clone formation assay. Cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry, and caspase-3, -8 and -9 activities in LS174T cells were detected by colorimetric assay. Results: TLBZD had no obvious cytotoxicity in normal CRL-1790 cells. After 72-hour treatment of 1 mg/mL TLBZD, or 48- and 72-hour of 2 mg/mL TLBZD, or 24-, 48- and 72-hour of 5-20 mg/mL TLBZD, proliferation of LS174T cells was significantly inhibited. Clone formation of LS174T cells was significantly inhibited by 1 to 20 mg/mL TLBZD treatment. TLBZD at doses of 5 to 20 mg/mL also induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G(0)/G(1) phase in LS174T cells. In addition, caspase-3, -8 and -9 activities were significantly elevated after 5 to 20 mg/mL TLBZD treatment. Conclusion: TLBZD can inhibit cell proliferation, arrest cell cycle at G(0)/G(1) phase, and induce apoptosis in LS174T cells, which may be related to activating of caspase-3, -8 and -9.

Cell senescence is an important anti-cancer mechanism and may contribute to cancer therapeutic outcome. The present study observed the effects of Tenglong Buzhong Decoction (TLBZD), a Chinese herbal formula, on senescence in human colon carcinoma LS-174-T cells.

Objective To investigate the situation of implementation of community home endowment nursing services in Yancheng City to provide basis for developing nursing services for the elderly.Methods Survey was conducted for the 255 elderly in 15 aged-service stations.We used the multistage random sampling by questionnaire and interview.Results There was difference in the need of community home endowment service,the situation of implementation,and in the service evaluation.Conclusions Nursing service for old people in community home endowment is still developing in elementary step.We should establish the normative and exercisable quality specifications and evaluation systems of nursing service for old people,in order to assure quality of nursing service.

ObjectiveTo mprove the tranditional case-based teaching method and initially using it in forensic psychiatry teaching, so as to provide some useful references to forensic psychiatry and other applied disciplines. MethodThe improved case-based teaching method was used in 2005 ～ 2006 forensic medcine classes in North Sichuan Medical College.ResultsThe scores of two classes using the improved case-based teaching method were significantly higher than the class which did not used it ( F＝72.38 ～ 85.17;P＜0.01 ).And students gave it higher rating.ConclusionUsing this method, the students' learning enthusiasm was stimulated,their professional knowledge and skills were comprehensive and deeply mastered by discussion and their ability to solve pratical problems was improved,which might be effective to enhancing the teaching of applied disciplines.
