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.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.

5.Therapeutic Observation of Cluster Needling at Anterior Oblique Line of Vertex-temporal plus Speech Training for Motor Aphasia after Cerebral Infarction
Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2015;(5):412-414
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of cluster needling at the anterior oblique line of vertex-temporal plus speech training in treating motor aphasia after cerebral infarction.Method Forty patients with motor aphasia after cerebral infarction were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 20 in each group. Both groups were given basic neurological treatment. In addition, the treatment group was intervened by cluster needling at the anterior oblique line of vertex-temporal plus speech training, while the control group was by speech training alone. After 4-week treatments, the speech function and communication ability were observed and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The total effective rate was 90.0% in the treatment group versus 80.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the speech function score and Chinese Functional Communication Profile (CFCP) score were changed significantly in both groups (P<0.01). There were significant differences in comparing the speech function and CFCP scores between the two groups (P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion Cluster needling at the anterior oblique line of vertex-temporal plus speech training is an effective approach in treating motor aphasia after cerebral infarction.
6.Evaluation of the value of application of continuous glucose monitoring system in a rabbit model of hypoglycemia
Chinese Journal of Comparative Medicine 2017;27(3):68-74
Objective To establish a rabbit model of hypoglycemia and evaluate the accuracy and timeliness of hypoglycemia monitoring by continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS).Methods Sixteen female New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups, with 4 rabbits in each group.The rabbits in the control group were given intravenous infusion of saline.The animals in the experimental group were infused with insulin continuously, which were divided into 0.1 U/kg/h insulin group (RI=0.1 U group), 0.2 U/kg/h insulin (RI=0.2 U group) group and 0.4 U/kg/h insulin group (RI=0.4 U group) accordingly.During the experiment, CGMS was monitored for 240 min.Blood samples were collected at a 30-minute interval and the blood glucose level was measured by a hand glucose meter.Results A total of 1296 CGMS monitoring data were obtained during the study period, and 136 BG monitoring data matched with CGMS time were obtained.After the insulin administration, BG and CGMS were significantly decreased.The reduction rates of BG and CGMS were 0.016 and 0.017 mmol/L/min in the RI=0.1 U insulin group, 0.04 and 0.027 mmol/L/min in the RI=0.2U insulin group, and 0.049 and 0.032 mmol/L/min in the RI=0.4 U group.According to whether BG monitoring value was lower than 4.4 mmol/L, the BG-CGMS paring data were divided into hypoglycemia and normoglycemia.In hypoglycemia, the average deviation of BG-CGMS was 0.55 mmol/L (the upper and lower limits were-0.98 and 2.08 mmol/L, respectively) and the absolute difference percentage (RAD) was 40.2% ± 45.2%.The mean deviation of BG-CGMS in normal blood glucose was-0.19 mmol/L (upper and lower limits were-1.38 and 1.00 mmol/L, respectively) and 5.8% ± 5.3% in RAD.The error grid analysis (EGA) showed that the proportion of zone A was 93.4%, 0.7% in zone B, and 5.9% in zone D, and the zone D was distributed in area of low BG and high CGMS.Conclusions The results of this study indicate that CGMS has a significant hysteresis phenomenon when blood glucose is reduced rapidly.When the blood glucose levels fall below 4.4 mmol/L, CGMS may have a risk of overestimating blood glucose.Such risk should be fully considered during CGMS clinical application.

Methods One hundred and twenty neotates with neonatal diaper dermatitis from August 2013 to July 2014 were randomly divided into the control group and experiment group, 60 cases in each group. The control group was treated with conventional care, while the observation group with recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factors combined with new rehabilitative liquid. The total effective rate and the treatment time were compared between the two groups. Result The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05) and the treatment time of the observation group was statistically significantly shorter than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factors combined with new rehabilitative liquid is effective in the treatment of neonatal diaper dermatitis and it is worth promoting and using clinically.
8.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.

10.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.
