According to the national residency training regulations in the teaching of clinical and scientific research, the department of thoracic surgery of First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University has used seminar teaching , and has collected random sampling survey questionnaire of 110 students participating in seminar from September 2014 to March 2016. The investigation shows that through seminar teaching training, doctors will cultivate their clinical and research ability, and enhance their self-confidence. Therefore, the application of seminar teaching in department of thoracic surgery is helpful to improving the quality of clinical teaching and is worthy of further improvement and promotion.

As an advanced quantitative technology for cells, flow cytometry, which can make multi-paramter quantitative analysis and sorting of individual cells or biological particles, has been widely used in immunology, oncology, hematology and other fields of medical research and clinical diagnosis in recent years.It can quantitatively detect the expression levels of cytokines and the distribution characteristics of cell subsets in the intraocular fluid.Compared with traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, cell morphology and immunohistochemistry, it has the advantages of simple operation, smaller sample size, higher sensitivity and higher throughput.Flow cytometry has been widely used in the detection and subgroup analysis of cytokines related to eye diseases, such as intraocular angiogenesis, intraocular lymphoma, retinopathy, cataract, uveitis, sarcoidotic uveitis, infectious intraocular inflammation, etc.Flow cytometry plays an increasingly important role in the pathogenesis research and targeted therapy of eye diseases.In this article, the application of flow cytometry in the examination of cytokines and cytology in ocular fluid for ocular diseases were reviewed.

The 109th Annual Meeting of the American Urological Association was held in Orlando, Florida, USA in May 2014, which received more than 1,000 abstracts on prostate cancer (PCa), covering new epidemiological data about PCa, new theories of early screening, novel molecular markers, new surgical methods, new ideas of diagnosis and treatment of castration-resistant PCa, and progress in basic researches. This paper focuses on the new theories of early screening and novel molecular markers of PCa, including the risk factors of PCa, a revolutionary understanding of the relationship between testosterone and PCa, and new application of PSA, new imaging techniques and molecular markers in the early diagnosis of PCa.

Objective To investigate and analyze structure of risk perceived by people using HIV voluntary counseling and testing services and related factors.Method Two hundred and sixty eight VCT users were selected from 2 CDCs and 2 hospitals in Beijing and their perceived risks in the process of VCT were assessed by using self-administered question- naires.Factor analysis was performed to understand the relationship between different perceived risks,and risks perceived by different users were evaluated.Results Six factors were obtained from the factor analysis which included:fear of priva- cy disclosure,embarrassment,concern over the reliability of HIV tests,cost & time consumption,the tragic outcomes of HIV positive tests,and potential medical expenditures in the future.And the risks perceived by low and high income users were much higher than those perceived by middle income users.Conclusion There are clear structure of risks perceived by people using HIV voluntary counseling and testing,and people with different incomes have different levels of perceived risks.

[Objective]To observe expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and peroxynitrite anion around the prostheses,and study the relationship between the osteolysis and inducible nitric oxide synthase peroxyni-trite.[Method]Interface tissues were obtained at three Delee-Charnley acetabular sections and seven Gruen femur sections in six revision total hip arthroplasty surgery. The tissues were prepared for immunohistochemical assays to determine the expression of iNOS and nit rotyrosine (NT)-a specific“footprint”of peroxynitrite. Pre-revision X-ray films were observed to determine the incidence of osteolysis regions and non-osteolysis regions. The correlation between the positive cells and the severity of osteolysis were analyzed and compared.[Result]Data showed that zone Ⅲ has much higher iNOS positive immunostaining than that of zone Ⅰ and Ⅱ at acetabulum, and the expression of zone 1、2、6、7 was significantly higher than the other zone at femur(P

Objective To study the relationship between serum amyloid A(SAA)and the common carotid intima-media thickness(IMT)in type 2 diabetic(T_2DM)patients.Methods Sixty-nine patients with type 2 diabetes,and 20 healthy subjects regarded as the normal controls(NC)were enrolled in the study from January to July of 2005.SAA levels were measured using ELISA.The carotid IMT were examined by hypersensitive color Doppler ultrasonography.Results SAA level was significantly elevated in type 2 diabetes group compared with that in the control3.08(2.1~5.06)mg/L vs 1.37(1.07~1.86)mg/L,P
