Objective:To investigate the efficacy and security of umbilical Chinese materia medica paste on the endotoxemia of cirrhosis patients.Methods:Based on the TAL blood cell matrix color test,80 cases of cirrhosis patients with endotoxemia positive were divided into two groups by randomly number:40 in the received regular treatment period for both groups was one month.The clinical symptoms was given to the level of treatments;Additionally,Chinese materia medica paste on umbilicus was given to the treatment group,the endotoxin,ammonia and complement component 3 in serum,cruor function,liver function,and blood routine test were statistical analysised and efficacy compared in both groups after treatment.Results:After treatment,endotoxin decreased significantly in the treatment group and the control group(P

Objective:To obtain mutA gene of Strepto c occus mutans (Ms),and to express it in E.coli DH5?.Methods: mutA gene was amplified by PCR with specific primers from genome of Ms CH43 strain. After sequencing, the gene segment was inserted into vector pProEX and expressed in E.coli DH5?.The protein expression was induced by ITPG an d the protein products were examined by 180 ml/L SDSPAGE electrophorosis. Results:The length of PCR product was 147 bp and was identical to mu tA gene reported by GenBank.The mutA gene product was expressed in E.col i DH5? with Mr of 5.7?10 3.The maximum mutA protein product amount (20% of the total bacterial protein) was obtained when the A 600 value of DH5? was 1.666,IPTG concerntration 1.0 mmol/L and induction time 6 h.Conclus ion:mutA of Ms CH43 can be cloned and expressed in E.coli DH 5?.

In the process of pathology teaching,the teacher can apply various methodologies and techniques to form student-oriented situation,to raise their interest in this discipline,to have the students actively involved in this learning process.In this way,the students become the subjects of the class so that the quality of pathology teaching can be improved.

Various teaching methods can be applied comprehensively to the teaching of oral histopathology. The authors make a probe into the function and significance of flexible introduction of such means as enlightened approach to teaching,metaphorical teaching method,multimedia teaching method. The paper insists that these methods will bring many benefits in that they will help to promote students’autonomous learning,stimulate their thinking,cultivate their competence for observation and analysis,broaden their vision,and consequently improve the teaching quality.

Chordoma is a rare low and moderate-grade malignant tumor originated in the embryonic period residual notochord tissue.Due to its critical location, local aggressive nature, and high recurrence, chordoma is not sensitive to radiotherapy and chemo-therapy with poor prognosis .Surgery is the main treatment method .Here we present a review focusing on basic and clinical research progress of chordoma .

Objective To compare the effects of clopidogrel and ticlopidine in combination with aspirin in preventing direct coronary stenting complication in patients with acute myocardial infarction.Methods The clinical data of 74 cases with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction were retrospectively analysed. The patients were divided into two groups. Before direct coronary stenting, clopidogrel,300mg loading dose then 75mg once daily or ticlopidine 250mg twice daily in addition to aspirin 100mg once daily were given to two groups respectively. Hemorrhage, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia were observed during 4 weeks. The frequency of clinical cardiovascular events (including cardiac mortality, myocardial re-infarction, need for revascularization) were followed up at 6 months. Results The incidence of major cardiac events in clopidogrel group was less than ticlopidine group ( 21.1% with Clopidogrel and 44.4% with Ticlopidine,P= 0.031). The incidence of light hemorrhage patents individually were 6(15.8%) vs 14(38.9%). The mean number of neutrophile white celll individually were 5.8 ?1.7 vs 4.2 ?3.6 (?10 9/L). The platelet count were 130.3 ?42.1 vs 89.2 ?53.3(?10 9/L), P

Objective To explore the application effect of Sandwich teaching method in clinical teaching in the department of neurosurgery.Methods Totally 144 clinical medicine students were divided into 2 groups:Sandwich teaching group (n=72) and traditional teaching group (n=72).The analysis of test and the questionnaire of the students were conducted after the course.Comparison between the two groups was made using independent sample t test and measurement data were expressed as as ± s.P＜0.05 signifies statistically significant differences.Rank sum test was used to compare the distribution of the test scores.Results The test score was statistically higher in Sandwich teaching group than control group [(76.38 ± 10.84) vs.(69.67 ± 10.50)].And the main distribution of the test scores was 70～90 in Sandwich teaching group while 60～80 in control group.Questionnaire showed that the scores of Sandwich teaching group were statistically higher than those ofthe control group in five aspects such as enhancing self-learning ability,improving the ability to analyze and solve problems,and so on.Conclusions Sandwich teaching method achieves good teaching effect and it is worth recommending in clinical teachifig.

BACKGROUND:Currently, there are large numbers of studies related to the association between colagen type I alpha1 (COL1A1) Sp1 polymorphism and bone mineral density and fracture risk, but the results are inconsistent. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the impact of the COL1A1 Sp1 polymorphism on bone mineral density and fracture by using the Meta-analysis. METHODS:We comprehensively searched the eligible studies for the present meta-analysis through MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE databases. Pooled odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of Sp1 polymorphisms for bone mineral density and fracture risk were obtained, with attention to study quality and publication bias. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 32 studies met the inclusion criteria, among which, 22 studies evaluated the Sp1 polymorphism and fracture risk. Significant associations were found in five genetic models. In the stratified analysis by region, the same results were found in the Europeans but not Americans and Asians. Thirteen studies evaluated the Sp1 polymorphism and low bone mineral density risk. A similar result was obtained. However, the analysis of bone mineral density data showed an increased relation between Sp1 polymorphism and low bone mineral density in Europeans and Americans but not in Asians. Overal, the current meta-analysis concludes that the COL1A1 Sp1 polymorphism is associated with low bone mineral density and fracture risk, especialy in Europeans. However, susceptibility to them varies markedly among populations from different regions.

Objective To identify the point mutation of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase(SOD1) gene in an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS) family and observe the value of denaturing high performance liquid chromatography(DHPLC). Methods DHPLC and DNA sequencing were used to examine SOD1 gene of the ALS family which had not been found mutation by PCR-SSCP. Results DHPLC tests proved double peaks in one member(Ⅲ_1), Which indicated the possibility of mutation in SOD1 exon 4. DNA sequencing revealed that there was a heterozygote,with mutation of GAA to GGA in exon 4, and with a substitution of glutacid by glycine. Conclusion As compared with PCR-SSCP, DHPLC technique has proved to be a rapid and reliable method for screening mutation site in large samples.
