Objective To explore the effect of carnosine in the expression of B cell lymphomal/leukemia-2 (bcl-2) and bcl-2-associated X protein (bax) after focal cerebral ischemia in rats. Methods Thirty male SD rats (SPF scale) were ran?domly divided into 3 groups:sham-operated group, model group and carnosine treated group (n=10 for each group). The mid?dle cerebral artery occlusion model (MCAO) was induced in model group and carnosine treated group. Rats were received carnosine [1 000 mg/(kg·d), orally] in carnosine treated group, and the other rats were received the same volume of normal sa?line (NS) in shame-operated group and model group. The neurological deficit score was used to evaluate the neurological function at 24 h and 72 h after MCAO. Morphological changes were observed by HE staining. TCC staining was used to label infarct volume, and immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of bcl-2 and bax. Results Compared with model group, the score of neurological function and infarct volume were significantly declined in carnosine treated group at 72 h after injury (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The changes of ischemic impairment were lighter in carnosine treated group than that of model group. Compared with sham-operated group, the expression levels of bcl-2 and the ratio of bcl-2/bax were de?creased while the expression of bax was increased in model group (P<0.05). Compared with model group, carnosine could sig?nificantly increase the expression of bcl-2 and the ratio of bcl-2/bax, and reduce the expression of bax (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusion Carnosine can enhance bcl-2 expression, decrease bax expression and increase the ratio of bcl-2/bax, which is likely to be one of the mechanisms of neuroprotection.

Objective To observe the effects of recombinant human interleukin 11(rhIL-11) on proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 cells, and the mechanism thereof. Methods Final concentrations of 0, 10, 20, 50 and 100μg/L rhIL-11 were added into pulmonary adenocarcinoma A549 cells. The cell proliferation was detected by MTT. The wound-healing, transwell migration assay were used to validate the capability of the migration and invasion of A549 cells. Matrix metallopro-teinases (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 protein expressions were revealed by Western blot assay. Results The proliferation of A549 cells was not significantly changed by rhIL-11. The cell capability to migrate and invade was significantly increased 24 h af-ter treatment with rhIL-11 (P<0.05). The expression levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were significantly un-regulated, and which were increased with the increased concentrations of rhIL-11 (P<0.05). Conclusion rhIL-11 can promote the migra-tion and invasion of A549 cells, and the up-regulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression might be one of the mechanisms.

Medical simulation training as a modern medical education has been used for decades in developed countries. Simulation based team training for obstetric emergency provides opportunities to re-hearse without risks to patients and helps overcome some limitations of the current medical education to improve the ability of medical staff to deal with obstetric emergencies, and improve adverse pregnancy out-comes. Simulation training is still at early stage in China. The Simulation Training Center of Beijing Ob-stetrics&Gynecology Hospital was established in June 2013. There are 100 medical staffs from our hospital and 406 from other hospitals who are trained using simulations to respond to acute obstetrical emergencies, including postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal recovery, shoulder dystocia and amniotic fluid embolism. Through introduction—on-scene simulation training—task report, we focus on learning, practical operation, emer-gency team and multidisciplinary coordination and communication skills training and through training, help learners understand the medical simulation training mode, and improve personal and team's ability to deal with the obstetric emergency. There is no doubt that simulation training will be further developed in China. Further research is required to investigate the application significance and feasibility of simulation training and access effectiveness of it.

Objectives To summarize screening and therapeutic effects of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in Zhongshan. Methods The thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration in dried heel blood samples on iflter paper was detected using time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay. The cases of positive screening tests were called back for further examination of venous blood TSH concentration using chemiluminescence method. Fifty-four children with permanent CH treated routinely for 2 years (CH group) and 120 age-gender matched health children (control group) were recruited. The physical development (height, body weight) was monitored. The neurodevelopment and temperament type were tested using Pediatric Nneuropsychological Development Assessment and Children's Temperament Scale respectively at 6 and 24 months after birth. Results Two hundred eight-five thousand two hundred forty-two neonates were screened. One hundred and forty cases were confirmed and the incidence rate was 1/2037. There was no statistical difference in length-for-age z score (LAZ) and weight-for-age z score (WAZ) between CH and control group (P>0.05). The neurodevelopment in CH group was normal, but gross motor development was worse than that in control group (P<0.05). The temperament type and distribution had statistical difference between CH and control group (P<0.05). The percentage of the dififcult type and central dififcult type was increased in CH group as compared to control group, especially in the activity, adaptability, reaction intensity and perseverance (P<0.05). Conclusions The physical and neurodevelopment are nearly normal in patients with CH after early supplementation, but the psychological behavior problems need to be focused on in the process of intervention.
