Objective: To study the protective mechanism of Donepezil on apoptosis of PC12 cells induced by amyloid beta protein. Methods: PC12 cells were cultured as previously,then amyloid beta protein and Donepezil were used to treat PC12 cells.Morphology observation,TUNEL and immunocytochemistry were employed to investigate the damage of PC12 cells induced by A?,protection of Donepezil on apoptosis of PC12 cells and the expression of Bcl2 and Caspase-3 in A?-treated group and Donepezil-treated group. Results: A? induced apoptosis of PC12 cells in a dose-dependent way;Compared to the group treated with A? only and the group post-treated with donepezil, the apoptosis index of PC12 cells(17.29?0.83)% and expression of Caspase-3(26.46?2.87)% were significantly downregulated in the group pretreated with donepezil(P0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrated that Donepezil can protect PC12 cells against apoptosis induced with amyloid protein,which was closely related to the time of interference.The mechanism of protection was involved with the expression of Bcl-2 and Caspase-3.

?Silent information regulator protein 1 ( SlRT1 ) is a kind of histone deacetylases class lll on which cell metabolism coenzyme NAD+ is dependent. By the transcriptional regulation, it participates in the regulation of gene transcription, energy metabolism and cell aging process, which can prolong the lifespan of organisms and delay the development of various age-related diseases and has attracted much attention in the field of anti - aging research. ln recent years, studies have shown that SlRT1 occupies an important position in the pathogenesis of many ophthalmic diseases, especially in ocular surface diseases, glaucoma, cataracts, uveitis, and ocular fundus diseases, etc. There is a possibility that the promotion of SlRT1 activity would be the new drug target of ophthalmic therapy. The paper will review studies on SlRT1 and ophthalmic diseases.

With the development of medical theory and technology, the traditional teaching patterns have fallen behind the requirements for the training of medical students. Recently, virtual reality techniques have been proved to be effective in the practice of medical education. Through sum-marizing the experience of building simulation systems of eye anatomy, clinical features of eye and simulation practice, the author has elaborated the role of virtual reality technology in ophthalmology teaching theory and practice, which is of profound significance to improve the overall level of ophthal-mology teaching.

Objective To study the clinical effect of Zhenqifuzheng granule combined with Tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium capsule in treating advanced carcinoma of gastric cardia in aged patients.Methods 52 cases of aged patients with advanced carcinoma of gastric cardia were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group.The observation group was treated with zhenqi fuzheng granule combined with tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium capsule,and the control group was given Tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium capsule only.The curative effect,adverse reaction and cellular immune function were evaluated after two treatment cycles.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the objective efficacy rate between observation (46.2％) and control group (50.0％) (P＞0.05).The rate of adverse reaction was higher in the control group than in observation group (P＜0.05).The rate of gastrointestinal adverse reactions in the control group was 50.0％,but 15.4％ in observation group.The rate of bone marrow suppression was 26.9％ in control group,but 11.5％ in observation group.The cellular immune function was better in observation group than in the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusions Zhenqifuzheng granule can improve immune function and reduce toxic side effects when combined with Tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassim capsule in treating advanced carcinoma of gastric cardia in aged patients.

Objective To facilitate a better understanding of the progress in the research, diagnosis and treatment of Peutz Jeghers syndrome (PJS).Methods Almost all the papers related to PJS from various magazines published in English and Chinese in recent years were reviewed. Current progresses in PJS research and related diagnosis and treatment were discussed in this review.Results PJS is a rare inherited disease with autosomal dominant trait, which is characterized by the presence of hamartomatous gastrointestinal polyps and mucocutaneous pigmentation of the lips, buccal mucosa, and digits. This syndrome is commonly complicated with intestinal obstruction, bleeding, or intussusception,and patients with this disease are at high risk for the development of both GI and extraintestinal malignancies. STK11 on chromosome 19p13.3 are responsible for most cases of PJS. The polyps of PJS tend to have a high incidence of malignant change, and the recurrence of malignancy after treatment is also high. Conclusion The STK11 has been identified as one of the main genes responsible for PJS and has close correlation with formation and development of tumors. Patients with PJS are at high risk for the development of both GI and extraintestinal malignancies.

Objective To observe the distribution of TCM syndromes in patients with functional constipation (FC). Methods One hundred and five cases of patients with FC were analyzed with relevant factors and summarized to syndromes of FC by cluster analysis. Results There was a correlation between distribution of syndromes of FC and patient's age, job occupation, course of disease, incentives and patient's eating habits. The distribution of syndromes analyzed by cluster analysis was consistent with diagnostic criteria. Conclusion The syndromes of FC are divided into heat constipation, qi constipation, deficiency constipation and cold constipation. Among these syndromes, the number of excess constipation patients especially heat constipation is more than the number of others.

〔Abstract〕 Taking Wuxi People′s Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University as an example, the paper introduces the constitu-tion, software architecture and main functions of Clinical Decision Support System ( CDSS) .The system is integrated with Electronic Medical Records ( EMR) system, providing scientific and acurate information support for clinicians in the whole diagnosis process.It has positive significance to improve the work quality and reduce medical errors.

Objective To evaluate the factors which might affect the successful reopening of occluded subclavian artery. Methods During the period of Jan. 1998-March 2007, endovascular stent placement was performed in 20 patients with occluded subclavian artery, including 12 males and 8 females, aged 17-74 years (mean 53 years). The procedures were carried out by using super-slippery guide wire via anterograde or bilateral access. Results Successful reopening of occluded subclavian artery was obtained in 14 cases and the treatment ended in failure in 6 cases. In 14 patients with successful results, the mean length of diseased artery was 3.00 cm and the mean course of disease was 9.83 months, which were 2.13 cm and 27.6 months respectively in 6 cases of failure. The successful reopening rate was 80% in arthrosclerosis cases, while it was 50% in aorto-arteritis obliterans. The successful reopening rate was 100% in those cases whose occluded artery showing a sharp stump, while the successful reopening rate was 33% in those cases whose occluded artery showing a round stump, with a statistically significant difference between the two (P< 0.05). The successful rate in cases performed via anterograde access was 65%, and it was only 43% in cases performed via bilateral access. Conclusion The etiology, the duration of disease and the shape of stump bear a close relationship to the successful reopening rate, while no obvious correlation exists between the length of diseased artery and the reopening rate. Higher reopening rate can be achieved when the procedure is performed via anterograde access.
