Objective To investigate the teaching effectiveness of preventive medicine and ask the students for feedback on the curriculum in order to reform the teaching methods.Methods Questionnaire survey.Sampling survey.Results 89.2% of students have realized the importance of preventive medicine.Respectively 16.4% and 7.5% of students have no interesting on the curriculum due to teachers'matter and students' idea that the course is uselessness for their major and future career.75.1% of students are interest in Nutrition and Food Hygiene,35.2% of students dislike Medical Statistics,and 45.3% of students think the most tough part is Medical Statistics.78.9% of students wish to have more practice lessons.30.5% of students do not ask teachers questions because of no communication with teachers after class.Conclusions Preventive Medicine is still ignored by a few students.The more tough the content is,the less interest the students have. Repeatedly emphasizing the importance of Preventive Medicine in medical education,adopting and combining with the community practical cases in class lectures and frequently communicating between teachers and students after class are suggested.
3.Effect of platelet-rich plasma on cellular proliferation and intracytoplasm calcium ion concentration of osteoblasts and tenocytes during the process of tendon-bone healing
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma 2012;14(4):331-335
Objectlve To explore the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on cellular proliferation and intracytoplasm calcium ion concentration of osteoblasts and tenocytes during the process of tendon-bone healing. Methods We established a kind of indirect co-culture system using transwell chambers to co-culture osteoblasts and tenocytes.The cellular proliferation was carried out in following manners:single culture of osteoblasts versus single culture of osteoblasts plus PRP and co-culture of osteoblasts versus co-culture of osteoblasts plus PRP; single culture of tenocytes versus single culture of tenocytes plus PRP and co-culture of tenocytes versus co-culture of tenocytes plus PRP.The cellular proliferation rates were measured by CCK-8 test.The intracytoplasm calcium ion concentration of was measured by laser confocal microscopy and fluo-3/AM. Results The proliferation rates and fluorescence intensities in the co-culture groups without PRP were significantly lower than other groups ( P < 0.05).The proliferation rates and fluorescence intensities in the single culture groups without PRP were significantly higher than in the co-culture groups without PRP but significantly lower than in the groups with PRP ( P < 0.05).The proliferation rates and fluorescence intensities in the groups with PRP were significantly higher than other groups ( P < 0.05) but there was no significant difference between groups of the same cells ( P > 0.05).The intracytoplasm calcium ion concentrations were proportional to the proliferation rates. Conclusions During the process of tendon-bone healing,PRP has a potential not only to wipe off the depression effect of osteoblasts and tenocytes co-cultured indirectly but also to enhance the cellular proliferation rate to a higher level.At the same time the calcium ion concentrations will be elevated.
4.Brain natriuretic peptide: a potential indicator of cardiomyogenesis after autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplantation?
Journal of Zhejiang University. Science. B 2006;7(9):766-768
We observed in a pilot study that there was a transient elevation of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level shortly after the transplantation in the patient with ischemic heart failure, which is unexplainable by the simultaneous increase of the cardiac output and six-minute walk distance. Similar findings were observed in the phase I trial. We postulated on the basis of the finding of Fukuda in vitro that this transient elevation of BNP level against the improvement of cardiac function and exercise capacity might indicate cardiomyogenesis in patients after mesenchymal stem cell transplantation. Further study is warranted to verify the hypothesis.

Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2010;19(7):757-760
Objective To study the prevalence and distribution of dental trauma in children and adolescents. Method A total of 347 patients with the permanent anterior teeth injured aged from 6 to 25 years were treated and selected from July 2008 to June 2009. Data of gender, age, site of accident occurred, number of teeth injured, and location and type of injury were taken from the dental records. Results Of them, there were male 219, female 128, and the ratio of male/female was 1.7:1.0, The highest incidence of tooth injuries occurred a-mong children of 10 to 13 years old. The common site of dental trauma was school. The majority of dental casualties had one tooth (38.0%) and two teeth (38.0%) injured. Of all types of dental injury, subloxation (19.8%), and enamel and dentin fractures without pulpa involvement (18.7%) were the most seen ones. Con-clusions The dental trauma in children and adolescents is a major problem that can not be ignored, and should be given persistent attention to prevent.

China Pharmacy 2016;27(23):3257-3260
OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of Ginkgo biloba extract combined with olmesartan me-doxomil in the treatment of essential hypertension,and to discuss its effect on the expression of serum protein. METHODS:98 pa-tients with essential hypertension were selected and randomly divided into observation group A and observation group B,with 49 cases in each group;40 healthy volunteers were included in control group. Observation group A was given Olmesartan medoxomil tablet 20-40 mg,po,qd;observation group B was given Olmesartan medoxomil tablet 20-40 mg,po,qd+ Extract of G. biloba leaves tablet 40-80 mg,po,bid. Treatment course lasted for 4 weeks. Blood pressure(SBP and DBP),TCM symptom score,the repeti-tiveness and resolution ratio of 2-DE spectrum,protein differentiation expression point,related information of differentiation expres-sion protein in 3 groups and ADR of observation group were observed. RESULTS:After treatment,SBP,DBP and TCM symptom score of observation group were significantly lower than before;those indexes after 4 weeks of treatment were significantly lower than those after 2 weeks after treatment;the observation group B was significantly lower than the observation group A,with statisti-cal significance(P<0.05). The repetitiveness and resolution ratio of protein differentiation expression point in observation group B were significantly better than in observation group A after treatment. The expression of 15 protein points in observation group down-regulated before treatment,and up-regulated after treatment to different extents;the observation group B was closer to control group,compared to observation group A. The expression of 6 protein points up-regulated,and then down-regulated to different extent after treatment;the observation group B was closer to control group,compared to observation group A. A total of 11 protein points were identified. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between observation group A and observation group B (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:G. biloba extract combined with olmesartan medoxomil greatly influences the expression of serum pro-tein in patients with essential hypertension and shows good antihypertensive and pressure-control effects with good safety.

9.Noncompetitive antagonists and agonists of glutamate receptor regulate filopodia formation in epidermal cells and melanosome transfer: an experimental study
Chinese Journal of Dermatology 2013;46(12):871-876
Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of glutamate signaling pathway on filopodia formation in epidermal cells and on melanosome transfer.Methods Epidermal melanocytes and keratinocytes were isolated from human foreskin and subjected to subculture.After two to three passages of subculture,the melanocytes and keratinocytes were cultured alone or in combination with or without the presence of MK801 (an antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor) of 100 μmol/L,or NMDA (the activator of NMDA receptor) of 100 μmol/L,for 24 hours.The melanocytes irradiated with UVB at 311 nm served as the control.Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the appearance of filopodia and dendrites of melanocytes and keratinocytes.Melanosome transfer was visualized under confocal laser scanning microscopy after double immunofluorescent staining.Results Although no obvious changes were observed in the number of dendrites in monocultured melanocytes after treatment with MK801 or NMDA for 24 hours,dendrites became thinner at the terminus and longer with a decrease in the number and length of filopodia after MK801 treatment,but thicker and shorter with an increase in the number and length of filopodia after NMDA treatment compared with untreated monocultured melanocytes.In the coculture system,filopodia were observed between the untreated melanocytes and keratinocytes,and the number of filopodia in melanocytes was larger in the side adjacent to keratinocytes than in the opposite side.Compared with the untreated coculture system,the number of both filopodia connecting melanocytes and keratinocytes and filopodia extending from melanocytes to keratinocytes decreased in the coculture system after treatment with MK801 of 100 μmol/L,but increased after treatment with NMDA of 100 μmol/L,for 24 hours.Melanosomes were found in keratinocytes cocultured with melanocytes without treatment,which were decreased in number after 24-hour treatment with MK801 of 100 μmol/L,but increased in number and even present in keratinocytes nonadiacent to melanocytes after 24-hour treatment with NMDA of 100 μmol/L.Conclusion Glutamate signaling pathway may modulate the transfer of melanosomes from melanocytes to keratinocytes via modulating the appearance of melanocyte dendrites and formation of filopodia.
