OBJECTIVE To ensure safe operation of medical equipment through raising procurement staffs′ awareness of safety and quality control in the process of purchasing medical equipment and exerting fine control of safety and quality throughout procurement. METHODS To sum up regulations,rules and ways on the safety and quality control at all links in the process of purchasing.RESULTS The acceptance rate of quality inspection of introduced medical equipment was 100% and the operating rate of equipment for the annual working hours was 95%.In 2002,our work together with other departments work in our hospital passed the proof of ISO9000. CONCLUSIONS They can not keep hidden safety perils of medical equipment outside the gate of the purchasing and can not ensure the safe operation of medical equipment and its vital role in every medical activity,unless purchasing staffs observe all purchasing regulations and rules and exert fine control of safety and quality of the purchasing.

0.05) were found in ejection fraction (EF), fractional shortening of left ventricle (DD), blood flow velocity through aortic valve, blood flow velocity through pulmonary valve, E peak velocity of mitral valve, left atrial end-systolic anterior-posterior diameter, left ventricular end-systolic anterior-posterior diameter, left ventricular end-systolic left-right diameter and left ventricular end-diastolic left-right diameter after 2-4 hours of +Gz exposure. A peak velocity in mitral valve slightly increased (P

Objective To study the effect and mechanism of a selective aldosterone receptor blocker, eplerenone (EP), on renovascular hypertensive rats. Method Forty-eight Wistar rats were divided into six groups: sham operation group, control model group, early EP group, late EP group, early losartan (LO) group and late LO group. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and urinary protein excretion (UPE) were measured before and every two weeks after operation. Histopathology and endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS) gene expression were examined in heart, aorta and kidney. Results SBP obviously increased in control model group as compared to sham group at week 10(132. 1 ?2.4 vs. 115.0?0.6 mmHg, P = 0. 0191), while early treatment with LO or EP could decrease SBP significantly as compared to control group. The control group developed significant UPE [ (21. 7 ? 1.9) mg/d] compared with the sham group [(13. 4?0. 8) mg/d] (P

ObjectiveTo investigate employment status of graduate students of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences (hereinafter referred to as our academy);To propose suggestions and promote employment.MethodsBased on data from employment dispatch database of Beijing Municipal Commission of Education during 2005-2013, data analysis and SWOT analysis were combined to use in this research to discuss employment characteristics of graduate students, such as education background, majors, genders, and regions.ResultsThe employment characteristics were concluded as follows:education level is high and employment trend is stable;compared to male, females are superior in quantity but inferior in seeking a job;the number of job-hunting students staying for Beijing decreases and increasing students intend to apply for a position all over the country;training target is defined and less students can work in university after graduation;subject advantage is prominent, which is highly regarded by employers. ConclusionIn order to help graduate students find jobs successfully, first of all, students’ ability with more professional skills should be improved;moreover, their sense in searching job should renewed through training courses, job services and personal instructions;in the end, more job information should be provided by establishing service network.

The presence of D-amino acid in proteins is thought to be a result of racemization of L-amino acid,which may influence the space structure and the functions of proteins and the connection to the occurence of some diseases has been demonstrated.Recently,tremendous advancement in instrumental techniques has brought the rapid development to analytical methods and detecting techniques in the research on racemization of protein amino acid.The advances in the relationship between racemizadon of protein amino acid and diseases,the influence factors on racemization of protein amino acid and the analytical techniques are reviewed in this article,and the research directions of racemization of protein amino acid are also given.

Chop and Grp78 genes are key genes in endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS).To explore the gene alteration of Chop and Grp78 in embryo with spina bifida,we studied Chop and Grp78 gene expression by qRT-PCR in neural tube of rat with spina bifida in E12 and primary cultured neuroepithelial stem cells(NEP).We found higher expression of both Chop and Grp78 in neural tube of rat with spina bifida than normal rats.While Chop and Grp78 genes were up-regulated after NEP differentiated into neuron.The up-regulation of Chop and Grp78 genes in neural rube of rat and NEP might be involved in the abnormal apoptosis in spina bifida related with ERS.And we found the primary culture of NEP provided a good model for embryo early development research.

To discuss the protective effect of aralosides (AS) on I/R-induced rat myocardial injury. The adult rat ventricular myocyte ischemia model was established through perfusion with sodium lactate perfusate and reperfusion with Ca(2+) -containing Tyrode's solution simulation. The cell contraction and ion concentration synchronization determination system was applied to detect the effect of AS on single I/R cell contraction and Ca2+ transients. According to the findings, AS could increase resting sarcomere length, contraction amplitude, ± dL/dt(max), calcium transient amplitude and speed of post-reperfusion myocardial cells (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and decrease in time for achieving 90.0% of maximum relaxation, time for achieving peak value, resting calcium ratio, contraction period [Ca2+] i, time for achieving 50.0% of maximum relaxation and attenuation rate of intracellular calcium transient (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Therefore, it is suggested that AS improved the post-reperfusion cell contraction and injury of calcium homeostasis.

OBJECTIVE To re-evaluate Bifidobacterium from microecological point of view. METHODS With the development of microecology,it is paid more and more attention to the medical field.The genesis and development of diseases were closely related with microbe imbalance.As a kind of common microbial population in intestinal tract,Bifidobacterium are one of the most important sources for the exploitation of microecological preparation.Bifidobacterium were re-evaluated by the reference review method. RESULTS This review is focused on the current situation,bioactivity,clinical application,and prospective of Bifidobacterium. CONCLUSIONS Bifidobacterium have good application prospects.

OBJECTIVETo explore the distribution features of Chinese medical constitutions in different ages population, thus providing scientific evidence of constitution process theory.

METHODSRecruited were 21 948 cases from a survey of Chinese medical constitutions and health conditions in 9 provinces or municipalities across China (including Jiangsu, Anhui, Gansu, Qinghai, Fujian, Beijing, Jilin, Jiangxi, and Henan) from Dec 2005 to Jan 2007. The body constitution type of individual was diagnosed using discriminant analysis on the basis of Chinese medical constitution questionnaire. By using correspondence analysis, the correlation between the general population, genders, ages, and Chinese medical constitution types was studied.

RESULTSConstitutions of yin-deficiency type, wetness-heat type, qi-depression type, and special diathesis type often occurred in the population ranging 15 -24 years old. Gentleness type mostly occurred in the population ranging 25 -44 years old. During this time period, phlegm-wetness type and wetness-heat type were liable to occur in males, while blood-stasis type was liable to occur in females. Qi-deficiency type and yang-deficiency type were most often seen in those older than 45 years. Phlegm-wetness type and blood-stasis type body constitution were also liable to occur in those older than 45 years.

CONCLUSIONSThe distribution features were different in different Chinese medical constitutions. Different constitution types exist in different genders. Different constitution types exist different ages population.
