Based on the analysis of the necessity of the integration of the medical ethics education into basic medical morphology experiment teaching, this paper discussed the principles of appropriate and suitable integra-tion. In addition, it pointed out the measures to integrate the medical ethics education into basic medical morpholo-gy experiment teaching:integrating the revere life education with the teaching content, strengthening the death edu-cation, and giving full play to the teacher′s leading role.

This study is to investigate the effect of ZL-004 on normal mouse and mice with leukopenia induced by chemotherapeutic agents. 5-Fluorouracil were administered intraperitoneally to mice to develop leucopenia, and the mice were treated with ZL-004. The number of peripheral leukocytes and the percentage of granulocyte in total WBC were examined. The results are that ZL-004 markedly raise peripheral blood leukocytes in the normal mice and the mice model of leukopenia. So, ZL-004 could protect mice against 5-fluorouracil damage and raise peripheral blood leukocyte. Features of bone marrow smears is myeloproliferative hyperactivity in the mice, particularly the matured granulocytic series were observed. The mechanism of ZL-004 is to act on the mouse bone marrow causing proliferation and differentiation.

Objective To construct a eukaryotic expression system of IFN-λ,examine the expression of IFN-λand evaluate its bio-functions including anti-proliferation and anti-viral activity.Methods The genes of human IFN-λ1 /2 (hIFN-λ1 /2)were cloned from the mRNA of poly I∶C treated HuH-7 cells.The PCR product was examined with DNA sequencing.The genes of IFN-λ1 /2 were sub-cloned into pcDNA3 vector.The correct insertion of the gene IFN-λ1 /2 was identified with enzyme digestion.The constructed pcDNA3-IFN-λ1 /2 plasmids were transfected into COS-7 cells and IFN-λ1 /2 protein was checked in the supernatant and lysis of transfected cells using Western blotting analysis.The human esophageal carcinoma YES5 and T.Tn cells were treated with the IFN-λ1 /2 from the transfected cells and the proliferation of carcinoma cells were measured with CCK-8 kit.In the treated carcinoma cells,the apoptosis and antivirus related molecules such as caspase-3,ISG15 and MxA was analyzed with Western blotting or Quantitative real time PCR.Results The sequence of hIFN-λ1 /2 fragment matched that of the gene bank and the gene of the cytokines was inserted into pcDNA3 vector correctly.With Western blotting analysis,IFN-λ1 /2 protein was detected in the pcDNA3-IFN-λ1 /2 transfected COS-7 cells.The IFN-λ1 /2 from the transfected COS-7 cells inhibited the growth of YES5 and T.Tn cells, activated apoptosis related caspase-3,and up-regulated the anti-virus gene expression of ISG15 and MxA.Conclusion COS-7 cells can express IFN-λ1 /2 after transfection with pcDNA3-IFN-λ1 /2,suggesting that eukaryotic expression system of IFN-λis established.IFN-λ1 /2 from the system can perform bio-functions,such as proliferation inhibition,apoptosis induction and anti-viral gene up-regulation,which indicates that the system can contribute to further investigations of IFN-λbio-activity and its clinical application.

Pulse waves contain rich physiological and pathological information of the human vascular system. The pulse wave diagnosis systems are very helpful for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Accurate pulse waveform is necessary to evaluate the performances of the pulse wave equipment. However, it is difficult to obtain accurate pulse waveform due to several kinds of physiological and pathological conditions for testing and maintaining the pulse wave acquisition devices. A pulse wave generator was designed and implemented in the present study for this application. The blood flow in the vessel was simulated by modeling the cardiovascular system with windkessel model. Pulse waves can be generated based on the vascular systems with four kinds of resistance. Some functional models such as setting up noise types and signal noise ratio (SNR) values were also added in the designed generator. With the need of portability, high speed dynamic response, scalability and low power consumption for the system, field programmable gate array (FPGA) was chosen as hardware platform, and almost all the works, such as developing an algorithm for pulse waveform and interfacing with memory and liquid crystal display (LCD), were implemented under the flow of system on a programmable chip (SOPC) development. When users input in the key parameters through LCD and touch screen, the corresponding pulse wave will be displayed on the LCD and the desired pulse waveform can be accessed from the analog output channel as well. The structure of the designed pulse wave generator is simple and it can provide accurate solutions for studying and teaching pulse waves and the detection of the equipments for acquisition and diagnosis of pulse wave.

Objective To investigate the biological function of IFN-λ in 7 human esophageal carcinoma cells. MethodsThe gene expression of IL-28α, IL-10β and antiviral molecule was examined with PCR. The MHC molecules expression and the profiles of cell cycle were analyzed with flow cytometer. Cell proliferation was evaluated with MTT assay. ResultsAll of esophageal carcinoma cells express the gene of II-28α and IL-10β. IFN-λ induced or augmented the gene expression of antiviral molecules, 2′5′-OAS and MxA. IFN-λ enhanced the MHC class Ⅰ molecule expression. IFN-λ inhibited the growth of esophageal carcinoma cells through the regulation of cell cycle distribution. ConclusionEsophageal carcinoma cells express the IFN-λ receptor complex. IFN-λ has the antiviral, anti-proliferative and immunoregulation activity.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of transrectal ultrasound-guided improved 13-core prostate biopsy in the detection of prostate cancer.Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted in the clinical data of 82 clinically suspected prostate cancer patients in Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital from October 2015 to October 2016.All patients were undergone transrectal uhrasound-guided improved 13-core prostate biopsy and surgical treatment,and the prostate biopsy results were compared with the postoperative pathological results.The accuracy of the improved 13-core prostate biopsy and the standard 6-core prostate biopsy was compared.The complications of improved 13-core prostate biopsy were also discussed.Results The diagnostic results of prostate biopsy included prostate cancer in 26 patients and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in 54 patients.The diagnostic results of 80 patients are consistent with postoperative pathological examination.Two patients were diagnosed as BPH by biopsy,but confirmed to be prostate cancer by postoperative pathological examination.The accuracy of the improved 13-core prostate biopsy and the standard 6-core prostate biopsy were 97.6％ (80/82) and 84.1％ (69/82) respectively,and the difference showed statistical significance (P =0.023).No severe complications were found in patients who underwent transrectal ultrasound improved 13-core prostate biopsy.Conclusion Transrectal ultrasound guided improved 13-core prostate biopsy can increase the detection rate significantly.It is safe and efficacious,and can be widely used in clinic.
