Objective To develop a hyperthermia temperature control system for the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease. Methods Temperature was controlled by using PWM method based on a single chip computer. The system was heated by using heating wire. In the whole cycle of T, the heating wire's work time was divided into three different stages according to different temperature of system: in the lower temperature, the duty cycle of the heating wire's work time was 100%; when the system temperature entered to a certain stage, a control variable was obtained through the PID algorithm which was used to compare the difference between the current temperature and the temperature requirements. The control variable determined the duty cycle of the heating wire's work time: the more close to the temperature required for the temperature of system, the duty cycle of the heating wire's work time was more close to 0; if the temperature exceeded a predetermined value, then the heating wire would not heat in the whole cycle. Results The accuracy of the temperature control system was ?0.2 ℃, the overshoot of the temperature control system was ?0.3 ℃, and the response time of the temperature control system was 500 seconds. Conclusion The temperature control method has high precision, small overshoot, and the right response time, which can meet the requirements of constant temperature of hyperthermia treatment. Besides, it is simple and cheap.

ObjectiveTo verify whether the three different framing effects distinguished by Levin still exist in imitatively medical situation.MethodsEstablished medical decision making problems concerning doctor evaluation,medical compliance and treatment options selection.All these problem were described in the gain and loss frames.300 volunteers were randomly assigned to six groups.Every volunteer completed 2 decision making problems and evaluated their degrees of certainty.ResultsIf doctors were described in valid number,people tended to make more positive evaluations than described in invalid number( x2 =32.09,P < 0.01 ).If treatment options were described in survival rates,people tended to choose adventure option of long-term benefit,otherwise people tended to choose conservative option of short-term benefit( x2 =25.92 P < 0.01 ).If doctors' advices were respectively described in damaging or beneficial frames,the former one has better compliance (x2 =11.07,P <0.01 ).Parts of the deferences between the decision making confidence of choosing the adventure or conservative options were significant ( t attribute,positive =3.84,P < 0.01 ; t goal,negative =6.44,P < 0.01 ; t risky,positive =6.57,P <0.01 ).People were likely to be more confident with these options conforming to the framing effect.Conclusion-Framing effect exists in imitatively medical situation.

[Objective] To explore the mechanism of fever in damp- heat syndrome. [Methods] Hyperlipemia rabbit models were established by feeding fatty - sweet diet. After the injection of endotoxin, the secretion of tumor necrosis factor and interleukin 1 was observed in rabbit model (Group A) and compared with normal rabbits (Group B) . [ Results] The peak of tumor necrosis factor and interleukin 1 secretion was decreased and the decline was slow in Group A. [ Conclusion ] The damp - heat syndrome in seasonal febrile disease is not merely a simple addition of damp and heat, but a result of retention and interaction of the two factors.

OBJECTIVETo study the regulation trend of resveratrol on TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6 expressions in bronchoalveolar layage fluid (BALF) of RSV-infected BALB/c mice at different time points.
METHODRSV-induced BALB/c mice were orally administered with resveratrol. Their BALFs were collected at 24, 72 and 144 h after the first nasal drip with RSV to detect the level of TNF-alpha, IL-1P3, IL-6 by EILSA.
RESULTThe expression of TNF-alpha, IL-1Pf and IL-6 in BALF increased significantly compared with the normal group (P <0. 01) after 24 hours of RSV infection, while the expression of TNF-alpha (P < 0.01), IL-1beta (P < 0.05), IL-6 (P < 0.01) in the resveratrol group decreased notably compared with the model group. After 72 hours of infection with RSV, although the expression of TNF-alpha (P < 0.05), IL-1beta (P < 0.01) and IL-6 (P < 0.01) in BALF in model group were higher than those in the normal group, they were much more lower than at 24 h. The expression of IL-1beta and IL-6 (P < 0.05) in the resveratrol groups were down-regulated significantly, but no difference had been shown in TNF-alpha expression compared with the RSV infection group. After infection with RSV for 144 h, the expression of IL-1beta (P < 0.01) and IL-6 (P < 0.05) in BALF in the model group were higher than those in the normal group, but there was no difference in the secretion of TNF-alpha. The expression of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and IL-6 showed also no remarkable difference between the resveratrol groups and the RSV infection group.
CONCLUSIONResveratrol can inhibit the over expression of inflammatory factors TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of RSV-induced BALB/c mice and keep them at a low level with the passing of infection time.

Objective To explore the relationship of discrimination perception and social anxiety of the left-behind children,focusing on the moderating effect of trait gratitude. Methods Totally 588 left-be-hind children were investigated with discrimination perception questionnaire, gratitude questionnaire and Liebowitz social anxiety questionnaire. Data were analyzed by independent t test,correlation analysis and re-gression analysis. Results There was a significant difference in group discrimination between the only child (2. 11±0. 98) and the non-only child (2. 28±0. 93) (t=-2. 11,P<0. 05). Correlation analysis showed that trait gratitude (4. 93± 0. 89) was negatively correlated with individual discrimination ( 2. 53 ± 1. 03) and group discrimination (2. 22±0. 95) (r=-0. 55,r=-0. 56,both P< 0. 05),furtherly negatively correlated with fear of negation (0. 85±0. 47) and social avoidance (0. 81±0. 53) dimensions of social anxiety ( r=-0. 47,r=-0. 48,both P<0. 05). Additionally,discrimination perception was positively correlated with so-cial anxiety (r=0. 61,P<0. 05). Regression analysis showed that discrimination perception could significant-ly predict social anxiety (β=0. 44,P<0. 01),and trait gratitude could significantly moderate this effect (β=-0. 75,P<0. 01). Conclusion Discrimination perception can positively predict social anxiety,and trait gratitude can moderate this effect.

This study analyzed the current status of the cultivation process of professional postgraduates of clinical medicine, combining with the case of the auxiliary teaching model of Academic Salons on the WeChat platform in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. We collected students' satisfaction evaluation of this auxiliary teaching model by questionnaire survey. Through analyzing the results and feedback, we found that the overall satisfaction of this auxiliary teaching model is 71.43%, and the model has a remarkable effect in broadening knowledge, inspiring thinking of clinical diagnosis and treatment, improving ability of scientific research, increasing learning interest, enhancing the ability to link theory with practice, and using the knowledge flexibly. However, there are still some shortcomings in early publicity, understanding students' interests and needs, and improving students' autonomous learning ability. Therefore, using the WeChat platform to carry out academic salons is a good auxiliary teaching model for cultivating the scientific research ability of professional postgraduates of clinical medicine.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, preventable and treatable disease that is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exposure to noxious particles or gases. In addition to smoking COPD caused by cigarette smoke, the phenotype of non-smoking COPD accounts for at least 1/4. Non-smoking COPD accounts for a large proportion, especially in developing countries. Non-smoking COPD and smoking COPD should be paid equal attention. More in-depth study on the prognosis of non-smoking COPD is needed.
