53 cases of tumor of the head received radiotherapy during 1993 - 1995. Their tongue had received a rather high dosage of radial therapy. 44/53 cases had their tongue for thickened (P 0, 05). After radiotherapy, 36/53 cases had their tongue fur became scanty or even totally uncoated (P

Objective To study the effect of theory and practice integrated teaching in der-matology education and to explore the effective teaching means. Methods 53 five-year program stu-dents of Grade 2008 who major in clinical medicine were subjects. 26 students involved in the inves-tigation were taught with theory and practice integrated teaching. 27 students were taught with tradi-tional teaching method. In order to understand the teaching effect, we use questionnaire in experimental group and carry on comprehensive evaluation in both group at the end of the course . Descriptive statistics method was applied to describe the experimental group students' evaluation of the theory-practice integration teaching methods; The results of the two groups of students were applied t-test to perform statistical analysis and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Results The stu-dents in the experimental group hold positive attitudes to theory and practice integrated teaching. 25 students (96.2%) in experimental group confirmed the necessity of it and considered that it could improve the communication skill. 24 students (92.3% ) confirmed it attractive and considered that it could improve the learning interest and capacity of clinical practice. 23 students (88.5% ) thought active learning and learning efficiency were promoted and theoretical knowledge was consolidated. 22 students (84.6%) considered that it could promote the comprehension of dermatology. Besides, the ex-perimental group students' medical ethics, theory and skills were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Theory and practice integrated teaching in dermatology edu-cation is effective. It can promote students' learning interest and initiative. It can improve the profes-sional quality of students and comprehensive quality of teachers.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of 4 cases with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated by chylothorax and chylous ascites.Methods Clinical manifestations,laboratory examinations,treatment and prognosis of 4 patients with SLE complicated by chylothorax and chylous ascites,who were admitted to our center in recent 13 years,were retrospectively analyzed.Results Four patients were female.The average age of SLE at presentation was 38 years (ranging from 31 to 47 years of age).The average disease duration of chylothorax and chylous ascites was 6.5 months (ranging from 3 to 12 months).Of the 4 patients,3 were complicated with chylothorax and chylous ascites,and 1 with chylothorax.Three patients were treated with corticosteroid,and 2 patients were treated combined with immuno-suppressive agents (cyclophosphamide or ciclosporin A).Chylothorax and chylous ascites improved in 1 patient.Conclusion The clinical manifesta-tions of chylothorax and chylous ascites are relatively rare in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus,and more attention should be given to improve the quality of life of these patients.

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression levels of excision repair cross complementation group 1(ERCC1), breast cancer susceptibility gene 1(BRCA1), thymidylate synthase (TS) mRNA and clinicopathological features, prognosis in advanced colorectal cancer, and the correlation between the expression levels of ERCC1 and BRCA1. Methods The expression levels of ERCC1, BRCA1 and TS mRNA of postoperative paraffin embedded tissue were tested by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 49 advanced colorectal cancer cases. The results were analyzed by χ2 test of the correlation between the expression levels and clinicopathological characteristics. Patients were followed up by clinic or telephone. The prognosis was analyzed by small sample Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log-rank time series analysis, and P<0.05 was statistically significant. Results The expression level of ERCC1 mRNA in patients with colorectal carcinoma had no obvious correlation with the clinical and pathological characteristics such as gender, age, tumor location, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, CEA and differentiation degree (P>0.05). The expression level of BRCA1 mRNA had no significant correlation with the above clinical and pathological features (P>0.05) except distant metastasis (P=0.030) and differentiation degree (P=0.002). The expression level of TS mRNA had no significant correlation with the above clinical and pathological features (P>0.05) except distant metastasis (P=0.003). The expression level of ERCC1 and BRCA1 mRNA obviously correlated (P=0.002). The 1 year overall survival rate was 95.92%(47/49);the 2 year overall survival rate was 83.67%(41/49);and the 3 year overall survival rate was 73.47%(36/49). Overall survival and progression-free survival time in ERCC1 mRNA low expression group (47.8, 41.0 months) was higher than that in ERCC1 mRNA low expression group (27.3, 20.0 months) respectively (P=0.001, P=0.001). Overall survival and progression-free survival time in BRCA1 mRNA low expression group (43.7, 42.7 months) was higher than that in BRCA1 mRNA high expression group (29.3, 25.1 months) respectively (P=0.009, 0.006). Overall survival time in TS mRNA low expression group (39.8 months) was higher than that in BRCA1 mRNA high expression group (25.2 months). Conclusions The expression level of ERCC1 mRNA is not correlated with its clinical and pathological characteristics, but with its biological characteristics. BRCA1 and TS levels are correlated with invasion and metastasis. Low levels of ERCC1 and BRCA1 expression have a better prognostic effect on platinum based first-line chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer, and they are correlated. Low level of TS also has longer disease-free survival. Three joint detection could be used as a prognostic factor for colorectal cancer chemotherapy.

AIM: To observe the neuroprotective effect of combined treatment with taurine and diazepam against focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats. METHODS: Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups: sham-operation group, vehicle group, taurine group (200 mg/kg, ip), diazepam group (10 mg/kg, ip) and combined treatment group (taurine 100 mg/kg+diazepam 5 mg/kg). Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by the method of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats, and reperfusion was emerged by removing the thread 2 h later. The drugs were administered respectively at the time of reperfusion, and subsequently repeated once 12 h later. The animals in vehicle group were intraperitoneally injected with isodose normal saline. The neurological deficit score, the brain water content and cerebral infarction were measured 48 h after MCAO. Other 5 group animals of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (n=16 in each group) were set up as mentioned above and accepted treatments 10 h after reperfusion, likewise repeated once 12 h later. Twelve animals in each group were adopted the same management as the previous 5 groups at 48 h after MCAO. The remained 4 animals in each group were sacrificed until two weeks after MCAO to observe the histopathological changes by nissl staining. RESULTS: Compared to vehicle group, the animals in combined treatment group at 2 h or 12 h after MCAO both decreased the neurological deficit score, reduced the brain water content and infarct volume (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The combined treatment significantly alleviated the neurological necrosis as well. The neuroprotective effect of the combined treatment was superior to that of using taurine or diazepam alone. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that combination of taurine and diazepam treatment has a coordinate neuroprotective effect on both the acute and chronic brain damage of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.

The higher medical education in China starts late and needs further exploration and improvement.While in Germany,it is elite education with a long history.Compared with China,in curriculum setting,Sociology,Medical health security,Humanities and Social Sciences and Organ system classification courses are more emphasized,and in terms of degree,it only has Doctor degree but with higher quality in Germany.Higher medical education in China will also take the path of the elite education.We can learn from the German medical education development experience and pay attention to solving the lack of the curriculum by supplementing social medicine and medical health security,increase the autonomy of the instructors in the training process,strengthen the medical students' social responsibility,and improve the quality of higher medical education in China.

Objective To investigate the effects of angiotensin1-7 (Ang1-7) on renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis of diabetic rats.Methods Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group,diabetic group,telmisartan group,Ang1-7-treated group.For 9 weeks after diabetes mellitus model established,24 h proteinuria,urine NAG/Cr,glucose,insulin,TG,TC,BUN,Scr,Na+ and K+ were assessed.Renal pathological changes were evaluated by PAS staining; Expression of TGF-β1,PPARγ and α-SMA mRNA was deteeted by real-time PCR; Protein levels of PPARγ,α-SMA and TGF-β1 were detected by Western blotting.Results (1)At the end of the ninth week,the blood pressure,proteinuria,renal weight/body weight in group DM were significantly higher than those in group NC (P＜0.05).(2)Renal interstitial fibrosis in group DM was obviously severe as compared to group NC (P＜0.05),but was improved in group TM and group T(P＜0.05).(3)TGF-β1 and α-SMA mRNA in group DM were significantly increased,and PPARγ mRNA was significantly decreased.Compared with group DM,TGF-β1 and α-SMA mRNA were significantly decreased,and PPARγ mRNA was significantly increased in group TM and group T,especially in group T.(4)TGF-β1 and α-SMA in group DM were significantly increased,and PPARγ decreased significantly.Compared with group DM,TGF-β1 and α-SMA decreased significantly,PPARγ increased significantly in group TM and group T,especially in group T.Conclusion Ang1-7 inhibits high glucose-induced α-SMA expression in vivo through up-regulating the PPAR expression and may inhibit renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis of diabetic rats.
