Objective: To study significance of detection of serum levels of high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) for assessing patient’s condition in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods: Serum levels of hsCRP, TNF-α and IL-8 were measured in 78 CHD patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) before and three months after PCI. Among CHD patients, there were 17 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 36 patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) and 25 patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP). Their levels of above indicators were compared with those of 47 healthy subjects (normal control group). Results: （1）Compared with normal control group, there were significant increase in serum levels of hsCRP [ (1.96±0.60) mg/L vs. (22.43±9.68) mg/L, (18.27±8.56) mg/L], TNF-α [ (11.26±3.82) ng/L vs. (60.12±19.37) ng/L, (40.33±15.48) ng/L] and IL-8 [ (48.26±20.87) ng/L vs. (120.36±33.32) ng/L, (105.92±34.2) ng/L] in AMI group and UAP group before treatment (P<0.01 all), and Pearson linear correlation analysis showed that hsCRP was positively correlated with levels of TNF-α and IL-8 (r=0.873~0.956, P<0.01 all); （2）Serum level of hsCRP in SAP group [(6.04±2.38) mg/L] was significantly higher than that of normal control group (P<0.01); （3）Compared with before PCI, there were significant decrease in serum levels of hsCRP[(13.89±6.13) mg/L vs. (2.06±1.42) mg/L], TNF-α[(38.26±14.27) ng/L vs. (13.76±4.12) ng/L] and IL-8[(98.96±32.9) ng/L vs. (50.12±19.85) ng/L] in CHD patients three-month after PCI (P<0.01 all), and they were no significant difference compared with normal control group (P>0.05 all). Conclusions: Detections of serum levels of hsCRP, TNF-α and IL-8 in CHD patients are of certain significance for diagnosis, treatment and prognosis prediction of CHD.

To investigate and analyze the causes of a human brucellosis epidemic in Chengjiang City in 2023 through field epidemiological investigation, and to provide a reference for future surveillance and control. A field epidemiological investigation of the case was carried out, with an active search of cases in epidemic areas. Samples from high-risk individuals, sheep, and dogs in the epidemic area were collected for brucellosis testing and pathogen isolation and culture, and the data were statistically analyzed by descriptive epidemiological method. One case of human brucellosis was detected in the outbreak, with smooth Brucella glabrata (ovine biotype 3) isolated from the patient's blood. Smooth Brucella glabrata antibodies were detected in two samples from the patient's dogs, with a positive rate of 16.67%. Tests for brucellosis in high-risk individuals and goats were negative, leading to a determination that this was an outbreak of ovine brucellosis transmitted from dogs to humans. This outbreak represented a rare instance of Brucella glabrata (ovine biotype 3) co-infected by humans and dogs. In dealing with the epidemic of human brucellosis, it is necessary to expand ideas and methods, strengthen the prevention and control of canine brucellosis, pay attention to the infection of dogs, and raise the protection awareness of dog farmers.

Objective To explore the application and significance of multiple clinical pathway training oriented teaching model in clinical teaching of laboratory diagnostic. Methods Totally 50 medical students enrolled in the Second Military Medical University from September to December in 2015 were divided into experimental group and control group. The course consists of theoretical teaching and experi-mental operation. The pathway group (n=25) were introduced into multiple clinical pathway training oriented teaching method. The theoretical teaching was carried out bysimulation examination application, simulation interpretation and simulation diagnosis and treatment, while the experimental course was carried out by using video teaching combined with actual operation. The control group was taught by traditional teaching method using slide teaching and operation display. The theoretical test including case study and operational skill tests were performed among students in both groups after 10 class hours training . The satisfaction questionnaires were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and satisfaction of teaching guided by clinical pathway. Differences were compared with independent sample t testing using GraphPad Prism 5.0 statistical software. Results The medical records about professional theoretical test including case study and opera-tional skill test in the pathway group were superior to those in the control group with significant statistical difference (both P<0.05). The records of medical students were (81.84±7.21), (42.00±2.79) in the pathway group and (76.24 ±6.98), (37.00 ±3.71) in the control group. The questionnaire result showed that the pathway group's satisfaction was high, especially with the theoretical knowledge andsceneteaching (higher than 80％). The pathway group believed that multiple clinical pathway training helped to improve learning interest and clinical thinking ability . Conclusions Multiple clinical pathway training oriented teaching model is helpful for the medical students to achieve the basic idea of clinical pathway, improve the profes-sional ability, enhance the interest of learning and the quality of teaching, standardize teaching and promote teaching and learning.

BACKGROUND: At present, the basic molecular etiological mechanism and core regulatory network of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) remains uncertain, and there is not an ideal measure for early diagnosis of DVT. OBJECTIVE: To study the underlying impact of cathepsin L/G in DVT rat model. METHODS: DVT rat models (n = 50) were established by clamping both femoral vein in three different positions within 3 seconds with mosquito forceps and fixing with cast. According to different observation phases and biological situations of the femoral vein thrombosis, model rats were divided into thrombogenesis group, pre-thrombogenesis group and non-thrombogenesis group. An additional 10 normal rats served as control group. Femoral vein was obtained at corresponding time points to exact total RNA. After a gene chip-based screening, the data of gene expression were further dissected by real-time PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSUON: Gene chip hybridization analysis results demonstrated that differential expression of cathepsin L/G gene was significant among groups, and the expression was greatest in the thrombogenesis group, followed by pre-thrombogenesis and non-thrombogenesis groups, which was significantly greater than the control group (P < 0.05). Real-time PCR analysis results were consistent with gene chip hybridization analysis results. These indicate that DVT is associated with an increase in expression of cathepsin L/G in local venous vascular wall, and they may be candidate molecular markers for early diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis.
