Language,as a cartier of specified social culture,is closely and complementarily associated with it.Considering the especial education targets of medical universities and colleges,the present curriculum and the trend of international communication,College English is obliged to focus on humanistic value and necessarily plays its constructive role in heightening students' humanistic quality.

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common type in thyroid carcinomas.Recently,the prevalence and diagnostic rate of PTC has got significantly high with the general use of ultrasound.Nowadays,more and more studies have suggested that the coexistence of PTC and diabetes is common.They indicated that hyperglycemia would induce the deterioration of oxidative stress injury,chronic inflammation,insulin resistance,obesity,dyslipidemia,deficiency of vitamin D and dysimmunity.All of these may break the balance of oxidation and antioxidation and result in disordering signal pathway,accumulation of inflammatory cytokines,over activating of insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1,changing the metabolic pathways,which will promote the occurrence and progression of PTC.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), an important component of complementary and alternative medicine, has evolved over thousands of years with its own unique system of theories, diagnostics and therapies. TCM has been increasingly used in the last decades and become well known for its significant role in preventing and treating cancer. We believe that TCM possesses advantages over Western medicine in specific aspects at a certain stage of cancer treatment. Here we summarize the advantages of TCM from three aspects: preventing tumorigenesis; attenuating toxicity and enhancing the treatment effect; and reducing tumor recurrence and metastasis.

Objective To investigate the effect of eosinophils(EOS)in asthmatic guinea pigs airway and explore the mechanism of antiasthma by inhaled arsenic trioxide. Methods The guinea pigs asthma models were established with ovalbumin(OVA)challenge method,2 groups received inhaled different doses of arsenic trioxide,and three control groups respectively received normal saline inhaled and high dose of arsenic trioxide by intraperitoneal injection and dexamethasone(DEX)intraperitoneally. EOS invaded and apoptosis with all of the groups were assessed after 7 days intraperitoneal injection or inhalation. Results Compared with group of inhaled normal saline, both EOS invaded and apoptosis in bronchus submuconsa were significantly different(P0.05)among groups of inhaled low dose arsenic trioxide [2.0 mg(kg?d)]and intraperitoneal injection with higher dose arsenic trioxide[5.0 kg/(kg?d)]and DEX[10 mg/(kg?d)]for these two parameters. Conclusions The mechanism of arsenic trioxide antiasthma with arsenic trioxide can decrease EOS amount in bronchial submucosa and accelerate EOS apoptosis, and relieve bronchial inflammation in asthma. For inhaled lower dose arsenic trioxide or intraperitoneal injection with high dose arsenic trioxide ,the effect of EOS is equivalent. The antiasthma effect of inhaled lower dose arsenic trioxide[2.0 mg/(kg?d)]is equivalent to intraperitoneal injection higher dose[5.0 mg/(kg?d)],and may be safe comparatively. The mechanism of antiasthma by inhaled arsenic trioxide is the same with DEX.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of repaglinide and gliclazide in the treatment of elderly type 2 di-abetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods:A total of 225 T2DM patients with the age over 60 were enrolled and randomly divided into repa-glinide group (n=112) and gliclazide group (n=113). The repaglinide group was given repaglinide 0. 5~2 mg, po, tid, while the gliclazide group was given gliclazide modified release tablets 30~120 mg, po, qd,both with the treatment course of 12 weeks. The level of FPG, 2h PG, HbAlC, TC and TG and the side effects were observed and the clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups. Results:The level of FPG, 2h PG, HbAlc and TC in the two groups showed significant decrease after the treatment (P<0. 01 or P<0. 05), and the level of 2h PG was decreased more significantly in the repaglinide group (P<0. 05). There were no significant differ-ences in the total effective rate (91. 8% vs 86. 2%), hypoglycemia incidence (4. 5% vs 8. 2%) and ADR incidence (6. 4% vs 10. 1%) in the two groups (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Both repaglinide and gliclazide show safe and reliable efficacy in the treatment of elderly T2DM.

With the further development of clinical modernization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), new request to tongue diagnosis for objectivity and quantification is raised. Many researchers have devoted themselves to this field and have achieved some accomplishments since 1950's. Especially in recent years, the revolution of information technique derived from computer industry brings the research new chances. The research history of the past five decades can be divided into three stages: (1) looking for micro-markers by newly-developed medical technique; (2) quantifying traditional markers by new technique; (3) further development based on information technique and corporation of multiple subjects. This article reviewed the three stages and described its prospect.

Objective To observe the changes of neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin,NGAL after endoplasmic reticulum stress by thapsigargin in renal tubular epithelial cells.Methods The renal tubular epithelial cells were treated with thapsigargin to establish the model of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER group).CHOP and GRP78 expression were detected by Western-blot to confirm endoplasmic reticulum stress in renal tubular epithelial cells by thapsigargin.NGAL expression were detected by Western-blot in ER group and control group(normal renal tubular epithelial cells).Results After treated with 2.5 μmol/L and 5 μmol/L thapsigargin for 4 hours and 8 hours respectively,endoplasmic reticulum stress in the renal tubular epithelial cells were significantly increased comparing with control group (0.585 ± 0.045 to 0.523 ± 0.030;0.785 ± 0.049 to 0.728 ± 0.064),which was approved by the increased expression of CHOP and GRP78 (P ＜ 0.05).The expression of NGAL was significantly increased in ER group (0.567 ± 0.024 to 0.826 ± 0.057,P ＜ 0.05) and it was corresponded with the changes of CHOP and GRP78,which increased significantly with the severity of endoplasmic reticulum stress.Conclusion Endoplasmic reticulum stress can be induced by thapsigargin in renal tubular epithelial cells.The expression of CHOP,GRP78 and NGAL were significantly increased correspondingly with the severity of endoplasmic reticulum stress.It is speculated that the expression of NGAL may be related with endoplasmic reticulum stress in tubular epithelial cells.
