1.Discussion on humanistic education among clinical medical postgraduates
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2012;11(9):900-902
The combination of medical humanistic spirit and medical scientific spirit is the sign of the maturity of medicine.The modern medical mode of ' biology-psychology-society-environment' sets new requirements for medical humanistic education.Clinic medical postgraduates,the front -line medical workers,play a very important role in medical work,but they show huge deficiency in interpersonal communication,humanistic knowledge and humanistic possession nowadays.The paper tried to draw some lessons from the successful education mode of George Washington university and discussed practicable methods to improve humanistic education among medical postgraduates aiming at cultivating qualified medical workers who have both noble medical ethics and perfect medical technology and ability.

In this article, we report the pancreatic islet cells function of newborn pig pancreatic tissues cultured by Ham F_(10), and the condition of graft survived into the bodies of Sprague-Dawley rats, and also study the influence of Glycyrrhiza uralensis to the grafts. The cultured islet cells of newborn pig were transplanted into the mesenteric cavities (the first & second group), kidney cystic(the third group) and brain tissucs (the fourth group) of the 4 groups adult Sprague-Dawley rats. The first group rats drank Glycyrrhiza uralensis water, after 8~11weeks of operation a examination pathological was made with the cut graft The results showed that the first and second group grafts survived over 11weeks, and survived better the group drunk the Glycyrrhiza uralensis water was much better than other. The purpose of this experiment is to find the heteropolar source of pancreatic tissues offering body.

Objective:To compare the differences of children’ s health in different area, and to confirm if the prevalence of respiratory diseases and symptoms among children are closely associated with the air pollution. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in an urban area A and a suburban area B with different levels of air pollution in Beijing. Using a cluster sampling method, we recruited 4 564 chil-dren from 3 primary schools in urban A and 4 primary schools in suburban B. Respiratory symptoms were investigated using an international standardized questionnaire including characteristics of children, living conditions, respiratory diseases and symptoms and situation of parents. The concentrations of air pollu-tants for recent five years were obtained from Reports on the Quality of the Beijing Environment. SPSS 16. 0 was used to analyze data. Results: The prevalence of cough, persistent cough, phlegm, persistent phlegm, wheeze and asthma in A area were higher than those in B area[(62. 2% vs. 59. 9%), (6. 3%vs. 3. 1%), (42. 4% vs. 37. 4%),(3. 6% vs. 2. 4%),(13. 3% vs. 9. 9%) and(9. 5% vs. 5. 4%)]. Except for cough, cough with cold, cough without cold, the prevalence of respiratory diseases and symp-toms in A area were significantly higher than those in B area ( P <0 . 05 ) . Logistic regression analysis showed the prevalence of persistent cough, phlegm without cold, asthma in A area were significantly higher than those in B area ( P<0 . 05 ) . Conclusion:Respiratory diseases and symptoms among school-age children were closely associated with the level of air pollution.

Purpose The diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of benign and malignant biliary stricture are significantly different. This study aims to evaluate the quantitative analysis of biliary structures using magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) combined with dynamic contrast enhanced CT (DCE-CT).Materials and Methods The quantitative parameters of MRCP and DCE-CT imaging data from 27 patients with benign biliary stricture (benign group) and 30 patients with malignant biliary stricture (malignant group) were retrospectively analyzed. The wall thickness, stricture length and diameter, proximal ductal dilatation and degree of enhancement in two groups were compared, and its correlation was analyzed to evaluate the accuracy of MRCP and DCE-CT.Results There were significant differences in wall thickness [(3.2±2.0) mmvs (2.1±0.6) mm], stricture length [(15.8±8.1) mmvs (9.5±6.5) mm] and diameter [0 mmvs (2.0±0.9) mm], proximal ductal dilatation and the degree of enhancement [(12.7±3.6) mmvs (9.3±2.7) mm] between the two groups (t=2.825, 3.270, 4.025,P<0.001;Z=-3.909,P<0.001). Multivariable stepwise regression analysis showed that the wall thickness and diameter, and the CT HU in portal venous and equilibrium phases combined with CT plain scanning were significant predictors of malignant biliary strictures (t=-6.424-2.309,P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, inter-modality agreement and Youden index of MRCP and DCE-CT in diagnosing 57 patients with biliary stricture were 96.67%, 100.00%, 98.25% and 0.97, respectively; with statistical significance in predicting benign and malignant biliary stricture (AUC=0.994,P<0.001).Conclusion Using MRCP and DCE-CT, the wall thickness and diameter of the stricture, and the difference in CT HU in portal venous and equilibrium phases combined with CT plain scanning are valuable in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant biliary stricture.

Objective To study the cytotoxicity against brain microvessel endothelial cells and blood compatibility in rats of OX26 conjugated endomorphin (EM) loaded hyperbranched polyglycerols-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(HBPG-PLGA) nanoparticles.Methods Prepared nanoparticles were divided into group B (HBPG-PLGA nanoparticles),group EP (EM-HBPG-PLGA nanoparticles) and group OEP (OX26-EM-HBPG-PLGA nanoparticles).The cytotoxicity against brain microvessel endothelial cells (BMECs) of nanoparticles of different groups were measured by MTT test,haemolysis test,normal haemotological parameter and several primary items of coagulation system were tested after nanoparticles of different groups and different dosages injection on rats.Results ①All the three groups of nanoparticles induced decreased cell viability in a dose dependent manner in MTT test,whereas all groups of nanoparticles showed low cytotoxicity against the BMECs during 30 to 600 μg/ml.②There was no significant difference in haemolysis ratio (P>0.05) and normal haemotological parameter (P>0.05).③There was no significant difference between the low dosage of all the three groups of nanoparticles and the control group on the function of coagulation system in rats (P>0.05).④Compared with C group,high dose groups demonstrated longer prothrombin time (PT),activeated partial thromboplasting time (APTT) and lower fibrinogen (Fbg) (P<0.05).At the same time,compared with the low dose subgroups,PT and APTT were prolonged,Fbg significantly decreased in the high dose subgroups (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion OX26 coupled with EM-HBPG-PLGA nanoparticles showed low cytotoxicity against BMECs and had no significant effect on the coagulation system in rats with low concentration and low dosage.

Papillon–Lefevre syndrome (PLS) (OMIM: 245000) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and early onset periodontitis, resulting in the premature loss of the deciduous and permanent teeth. PLS is caused by mutations in the cathepsin C (CTSC) gene (OMIM: 602365), which has been mapped to chromosome 11q14– q21. Genetic analysis can help early and rapid diagnosis of PLS. Here we report on a Chinese PLS pedigree with two affected siblings. We have identified two novel compound heterozygous mutations c.763T>C (p.C255R) and c.1015C> A (p.R339S) in the CTSC gene. The two mutations expand the spectrum of CTSC mutations in PLS.
