The "Wu Chang" thought is a core idea in Chinese Confucian morality system,which plays a critical role in establishing and further developing traditional Chinese medical ethical principles,doctors′ professional obligations,behavioral regulations,professional requirements,and physician-patient relationship.Therefore,it is also of positive referencing and revealing significance for fully understanding the modern doctors′ professionalism and responsibilities raised by the "Doctors′ Declaration of Doctors′ Professionalism in the New Century".

Purpose:It has been shown that the heart is a chaotic oscillator. So it is appropriiate to use the Lyapunov exponent, an important parameter to identify the nature of non-linear dynamical systems, for identifying the state of human heart. Methods:Preliminary results are obtained in this paper using Wolf's algorithm for 8 normal and 107 abnormal ECG recordings. Results:Significant differences are found between the Lyapunov exponents of normal ECG and ECG with obvious coronary stenosis (OCS), but there is no significant difference between the Lyapunov exponents of normal ECG and ECG with mild coronary stenosis (MCS);Significant differences are also found between the Lyapunov exponents of R-R interval series of normal ECG、ECG with MCS and ECG with OCS. Conclusions:It is apparent that the R-R interval series can give us more messages about human heart, and the Lyapunov exponents of ECG and R-R interval series are the appropriate parameters for the identification of the physiological states of human heart. It is possible to use Lyapunov exponent for early diagnosis of Coronary Heart Disease.

Objective To establish and identify transgenic mice model that specifically express delta drosophila homolog-like 1 (DLK1) in liver for the functional study of DLK1 on liver differentiation,hepatopathy,and hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods The coding sequence of DLK1 cDNA was inserted downstream of mouse albumin gene enhancer/promoter to construct a liver-specific DLK1 expression recombinant vector.The DNA fragment of transgene digested from the recombinant vector by Pine I was transfected to Hepl-6 cells to verify the expression of DLK1 in vitro.Then the transgene fragment was microinjeeted into fertilized eggs of C57×CBA F1 mice and 20 transgenic founder mice were generated.The F1 mice of DLK1 transgenie founder mice were used to identify the expression of the transgene in liver and other tissues.Results RT-PCR and cellular immunofluorescence showed DLK1 expression when the transgene fragment was transfeeted into Hep1-6.For transgenic mice,RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry showed that DLK1 was specifically expressed in adult F1 mice liver.Conclusion Successfully established the liver-specific DLK1 expression transgenic mice model.

Objective To discuss protein marks expressed differentially in placenta of Down's syndrome by means of proteomics. Methods We collected placenta of 18 patients(from March 2009 to December 2009 at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital), and divided them into two groups, one was 10 patients with fetal Down's syndrome, the other was normal pregnancies (normal chromosome) with other diseases. We separated proteins expressed in placentas of two groups by two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE), and then analyzed the differential protein spots by software Decyder 6. 5, then,spots differentially expressed by 1.5 fold or more were analyzed by matrix assisted laser desorption ionizationtime of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). In the end, the differential expressional levels of partially identified proteins were validated by western blot analysis. Results (1) Differential proteins of two groups protein spots of placentas separated by 2D-DIGE were analyzed by software Decyder 6. 5 (these colored lights scattered in the image were protein spots), a total of 56 spots out of 352 were differentially expressed (P<0. 05) in two groups. We analyzed 17 protein spots(12 protein spots were over-expressed and 5 protein spots were down-expressed) differentially expressed by 1.5 fold or more by MALDI-TOF-MS.(2) Protein matching after searching protein database, 17 protein spots turn out to be 10 proteins. Four kinds [superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6), heat shock protein 27 (HSP27),endoplasmic reticulum protein 29 (ERP29)] of them were validated by western blot analysis, the group of fetal Down's syndrome were 0.74 ±0. 12,0.29 ±0. 10,0.53 ±0. 16,0.20 ±0. 09,the group of normal pregnancies were 0. 51 ±0. 08,0. 34 ± 0. 16,0. 18 ± 0. 07,0. 35 ± 0. 09, the results confirmed the observed changes in proteomics. Conclusions Compared with normal pregnancies, there were differential proteins expressed in placenta of Down's syndrome. This approach might provide new screening markers in use for prediction of Down's syndrome, however, further study should be done to make these 4 proteins (SOD1,HSP27, ERP29, PRDX6) be new screening markers.

AIM:To study the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9),matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) and the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase(TIMP-1) in the lung tissue of the hypercapnia rat.METHODS:Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group (group A,n=20) and hypercapnia group (group B,n=20). Group B received mix gas exposure (6% CO_2,21% O_2,72% N_2) 7 h daily for 4 weeks. The parameters we would examine were as follow:arterial blood gas;the mean pulmonary artery pressure;MMP-2,MMP-9,TIMP-1,and NE activity in lung tissue. Masson pigmentation of elasticity fibre was analyzed by computer image analyzer. Histopathological changes of lung tissue were observed under light microscope. The protein expression of MMP (MMP-2,MMP-9) and TIMP (TIMP-1) in lung tissue were determined by immunocytochemistry.RESULTS:Decompensate respiratory acidosis (pH=7.20±0.04,PaCO_2=7.84±0.15) developed in group B. The mean pulmonary artery pressure were similar between groups B and A (P>0.05). Tissue edema in the lung,endothelial cell damage of the small blood vessels,pulmonary micro thrombus formations and increased pulmonary capillary permeability were observed in group B. NE activity increased significantly (P<0.01). However,no significant change of MMP-2,MMP-9,TIMP-1 activity was found in group B and group A (P>0.05). There was significant decrease in the relative content of elasticity fibre in lung tissue in group B compared to group A (P<0.01). The expression of MMP-2 protein in the lung tissue of group B was lower than that in group A (P<0.01),but the expression of both MMP-9 and TIMP-1 proteins in the lung tissue in group B were higher than those in group A (P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Hypercapnia rat model is successfully reproduced by exposure of animals to the mix gas exposure (6% CO_2,21% O_2,and 72% N_2). The pulmonary artery pressure is not affected by hypercapnia. High concentration of CO_2 causes increase of NE activity and decrease in the relative content of elasticity fibre. High concentration of CO_2 causes the increase of MMP-2 protein expression and decrease in the MMP-9 and TIMP-1 protein expression.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognosis in patients with colorectal cribriform comedo-type ad-enocarcinoma. Methods Compared with 278 cases of colorectal common-type adenocarcinoma, 24 cases of colorectal cribriform come-do-type adenocarcinoma were analyzed for clinical stage, lymphovascular invasion, lymph node metastasis and genetic characteristics. Results The percentage of clinical Ⅲ and Ⅳ (87. 5%) and lymph node metastasis rate (87. 5%) in patients with colorectal cribri-form comedo-type adenocarcinoma was obviously higher than that in colorectal common-type adenocarcinoma (42. 4%,42. 4%) (P<0. 05). The percentage of lymphovascular invasion (87. 5%) of colorectal cribriform comedo-type adenocarcinoma were significantly higher than that of common-type adenocarcinoma (22. 7%) (P<0. 05). There were no statistical significance of age, sex, and molec-ular genetics of KRAS and mutated BRAF mutation between two groups ( P>0. 05 ) . Conclusions There is a higher clinical stage and poorer prognosis including unique morphological characteristics, highly lymphovascular invasion and lymph node metastasis in pa-tients with colorectal cribriform comedo-type adenocarcinoma.

Purpose To investigate the expression and clinical significance of p63 in nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lym-phoma (NLPHL) and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL). Methods 15 cases of NLPHL and 54 cases of CHL were stained for CD45, CD30, p63, PAX5, CD20, CD15, Oct-2, BOB1, MUM1, EMA, EBV-LMP1 and Ki-67 by immunohistochemical methods of EliVision. EBER were detected by in situ hybridization method in 12 cases of CHL. Results The expression of p63 in NLPHL (53. 3%, 8/15) was significantly higher than that in CHL (0, 0/54) (P<0. 05). Conclusions p63 protein is frequently expressed in NLPHL and helpful in the differential diagnosis between NLPHL and CHL.

OBJECTIVE To investigate pathogens in neonatal septicemia and the antimicrobial resistance of these bacteria in recent years to guide the clinical treatment.METHODS The data of 76 neonatal septicemia confirmed by hemoculture from Jan 2005 to Jan 2008 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(CNS) were the main pathogens,among which their were 47.36% of S.epidermidis,10.53% of S.haemolyticus,9.21% of S.aureus,and the others of 7.88% Escherichia coli.Bacteria were highly resistant to penicillin,ampicillin and erythromycin.Vancomycin,imipenem,ciprofloxacin and amikacin were the most sensitive drugs.CONCLUSIONS Gram-positive cocci are main pathogens in neonatal septicemia,in which the CNS are the most common ones.To choose sensitive antibiotics bases on the drug sensitivity tests may decrease the occurrence of drug resistance to bacteria and increase the clinical curative effects.

OBJECTIVE: To explore microcosmic information in chronic gastritis dampness syndrome by using serum proteomics of patients with chronic gastritis dampness syndrome. METHODS: Serum proteomics of 18 dampness syndrome cases, 17 non-dampness syndrome cases in chronic gastritis patients and 8 normal controls were analyzed by surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (SELDI-TOF) protein-chip. RESULTS: There was a high expression trend in three ratios of charge (of an electron) to mass (M/S) of 3.2 kD, 6.4 kD and 8.1 kD of protein expression spectrum from patients with chronic gastritis dampness syndrome, and the wave peak value was over 10 units. There was a low expression trend in above-mentioned sites of protein expression spectrum from patients with chronic gastritis non-dampness syndrome and normal group. The wave peak value of patients with chronic gastritis non-dampness syndrome was about or below 10 units, and the wave peak value in normal group was below 5 units. CONCLUSION: There exists a certain significance to explore biologic theory basis of chronic gastritis dampness syndrome by analyzing the serum proteomics.
