Objective To investigate the influence of Tangshenbao Decoction on oxidation irritable reaction and pathological changes of renal cortex in diabetic rats. Methods The diabetic models were made by the intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. Then the rats were treated with Tangshenbao Decoction (Chinese herbs group) and Ramipril (western medicine group) respectively for eight weeks. Observe the oxidation irritable reaction and pathological changes of renal cortex in diabetic rats. Results The Chinese herbs group can decrease the urine microalbumin, improve the activity of SOD in renal cortex, reduce the content of MDA, cut down the MGA of renal glomerulus, and has obvious effects in mitigating the oxidation damages. Conclusion Tangshenbao Decoction can decrease the excretion of urine albumin in 24 hours, mitigate the oxidation damages of kidney tissue, lighten the pathological damages of kidney, while the oxidation damages in kidney tissue may play an important role in the genesis and development of diabetic nephropathy.

The job burnout level and psychological status of 109 medical staff in Shennongjia forest region were investigated, and the Chinese maslach burnout inventory (CMBI) and symptom check list-90(SCL- 90) were adopted in the survey. The survey revealed that 69.7% (76/109) of the subjects had job burnout, including 53.2% (58/109) had slight burnout, 12. 8% (14/109) moderate burnout and 3. 7%(4/109) severe burnout. The single-factor detection rates of job burnout were 56.9% (62/109) for diminished personal accomplishment, 17.4% (19/109) for depersonalization, and 15.6% (17/109) for emotional exhaustion. Both the interpersonal sensitivity factor score and the positive symptom average score of SCL-90 were significant lower than those of Chinese norm ( P ＜ 0. 01 ), the total average score and the other factor scores of the subjects had no significant differences from those of Chinese norm ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). The results suggest that the majority of medical staff in the study region have experienced the job burnout, the main manifestation is the feeling of diminished personal accomplishment, on the other hand the psychological status of the subjects is similar with those in the general population.

Objective To study the diagnostic value of relative parameters and time-relative-intensity curve(TRIC) in malignant and benign liver tumors with contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS). Methods Fifty-nine focal liver lesions were examined with CEUS and drawed time-intensity curve(TIC) with QLAB software. The relative parameters of malignant and benign liver tumors were calculated and analysed. The relative intensity equaled the echo intensity of lesion substracted the encho intensity of liver. TRIC were drawed with time as abscissa and relative intensity as the ordinate. The types of TIRC were analysed comparatively in different groups (benign and malignant). Results There were significant differences in relative peak time, relative peak intensity, relative enhancement time and relative decline slope between malignant and benign lesions( P ＜0. 05). TRIC appeared quick-ascending and quick-descending types in the malignant lesions,the decline curve of TRIC droped down to 0 dB at (28.24 ± 8. 14)s and down to lowest - 8 dB continually, meanwhile fluctuated slightly. While TRIC appeared slow-ascending and slow-descending types in the benign lesions, the decline curve of TRIC droped down to the lowest 4 dB continually, meanwhile fluctuated slightly. Conclusions The relative parameters and TRIC are new quantitative indicators of CEUS for diagnosis of malignant and benign liver tumors.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the mechanism of immune escape in renal cell carcinoma(RCC).

METHODSFas and FasL expressions were examined by immunohistochemical technique in 44 RCC patients, with the Ki67 expression and apoptosis of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes(TIL) monitored simultaneously. Cytokines including IL2 and IFN alpha were used to induce the expression of the renal carcinoma cell lines 786-0 cells. Combination treatment of 786-0 with cytokines and Anti-Fas monoclonal antibody (FasAb) was used to induce apoptosis. FasL function was assessed by in vitro co-culture assays using renal cancer cells 786-0 and Fas-sensitive Jurkat T-cells.

RESULTS(1) Fas expression rate in RCC(22.8%) was lower than that in the controlled normal kidney tissues(53.8%, P < 0.01). FasL expression rate in RCC (46.5%) was higher than that in the controlled normal kidney tissues (23.2%, P < 0.01). That of Ki67 was 32.8%, with the expressions of Fas and Ki67 showing a negative correlation (r = -0.62, P < 0.05). In contrast, the expressions of FasL and Ki67 showed a positive correlation. (r = 0.93, P < 0.01). The Fas expression of stage I was significantly higher than that of stages III and IV. The expression rate of FasL in RCC was significantly increased with RCC stage (P < 0.01). (2) The apoptotic rate of TIL in RCC (33.9%) was significantly higher than that of the normal kidney tissues (3.5%, P < 0.01). The expression of FasL and the apoptotic rate of TIL in RCC gave a positive correlation (r = 0.96, P < 0.01). (3) Fas expression rate in 786-0 cells was 13.7%. The apoptotic rate mediated by FAsAb was 9.6%. IFN alpha was able to up-regulate the Fas expression and subsequently augment the FasAb-mediated apoptosis in 786-0 cells. But IL2 did not show similar effects. (4) The FasL expression rate of 786-0 was 18.6%. FasL expressed by 786-0 cells was able to induce apoptosis of Jurkat T-cells in co-culture assays and the apoptosis of Jurkat T-cells was significantly lowered after blocking the effect of FasL with Fas-neutralizing antibody NOK-2, giving the apoptotic rates of 14.9% and 2.0%, respectively, the difference therein is statistically significant (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONDown-regulation of Fas expression and up-regulation of FasL-expression are the mechanisms through which the RCC cells escape from immune attack.

During the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), combining clinical "5+3" integrated students' characteristics and the contents of the courses, teachers applied the Zhihuishu platform and Tencent classroom in anatomy theory teaching to construct an efficient, accurate and interactive online flipped intelligent classroom covering before class -in class -after class. The ARCS (attention, relevance, confidence, satisfaction) motivation model was introduced into the teaching design to help ensure the effective implementation of flipped classroom. Before class, teachers used the Zhihuishu platform to publish learning resources which students can learn independently. In class, teachers used Tencent classroom for live teaching, to explain key and difficult points, and answer and discuss questions. After class, teachers used the Zhihuishu platform to publish exercise tests and assignments. The practice shows that the online teaching mode has been widely recognized by the students. It's helpful to cultivate the learning interest, improve the ability of autonomous learning and the ability of analyzing and solving problems. It also contributes to the implementation of the diversified formative assessment, and it lays a foundation for developing the mixed teaching after the epidemic.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of gut microbiota in the preoperative, short-term postoperative and long-term postoperative period at (15.61±4.51) months in children with ventricular septal defect (VSD) of congenital heart disease (CHD) treated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods:A prospective study was conducted.In Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center, 13 patients with VSD who were scheduled for CPB and additional 10 age- and gender-matched healthy infants as pre-CPB control group from January 2021 to January 2022 were enrolled.Fecal samples were collected at pre- and early post-CPB.Meanwhile, 18 gender- and CHD diagnosis and operation-matched patients at (15.61±4.51) months after CPB and 8 healthy age- and gender-matched children as long-term control group after CPB were also enrolled, and fecal samples were collected.16S rRNA sequencing of fecal samples from all subjects were performed and comparing the differences in gut microbiota between two groups via comparing alpha and beta diversity, parameter test or nonparametric test, and LEfSe analysis.Results:Compared with those of pre-CPB control group, there was a significant difference in the composition of gut microbiota in the preoperative period of VSD children, with significantly increased abundances of Enterobacteriaceae and Shigella, and decreased abundance of Bifidobacterium (all P<0.05). The diversity of gut microbiota was comparable in VSD children before CPB and in the short period time after CPB (all P>0.05), except for the abundances of Clostridium and Streptococcus (all P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the relative abundances of other highly abundant gut bacteria between the two periods (all P>0.05). Compared with that in VSD children in the short period time after CPB, the abundances of short-chain fatty acids-producing microbes were significantly higher at (15.61±4.51) months postoperatively (all P<0.05), and the gut bacteria profile was similar to that of the long-term control group after CPB (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Gut microbiota imbalance exists in VSD children before CPB.The gut microbiota profile is not influenced by CPB, which returns normal at (15.61±4.51) months postoperatively.

Taking the micro-course The Connection Between Vertebrae as an example, this paper discusses the teaching design, production process and practical application of the anatomy micro-course, analyzes the existing problems and puts forward corresponding suggestions. The micro-course design integrates knowledge points with ideological and political elements, and applies a variety of teaching methods to make the teaching content interesting, enlightening and applicable. In the production process, using anatomical specimens, models and 3D software demonstration structure can make abstract knowledge intuitive and perceptual. Moreover, the artistry of micro-course is increased appropriately, and the misunderstanding of emphasizing appearance and neglecting design is avoided. The application of micro-course integrates the micro-course and online education platform to realize the intelligent education of information teaching. In addition, college teachers should improve the awareness of micro-course production and carry out systematic construction and application of micro-course resources.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of pedicled omental flap transplantation in repairing secondary rejection wounds after brain pacemaker implantation.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted. From January to August 2021, 5 patients with secondary rejection wounds after brain pacemaker implantation who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Wound Repair Center of Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, including 3 males and 2 females, aged 56-69 years, with the wound developed at the pulse generator implantation site in the chest in 2 cases, at the connection site of the wire and electrode behind the ear in 2 cases, and at both the chest and the back of the ear in 1 case. All the wounds were repaired by pedicled omental flap transplantation. The wound area after debridement was 2-15 cm 2. After operation, the wound healing and related complications (pain, infection, incisional hernia, omental flap necrosis, etc.) were observed. During follow-up, the recurrence of the wound was observed. Results:The wounds of all 5 patients healed within 2 weeks after operation, without related complications. During follow up of 12-18 months, 1 patient got a recurrence of rejection wound behind the left ear 4 months after surgery and eventually had the brain pacemaker removed; the other 4 patients had no recurrence of wounds.Conclusions:Pedicled omental flap transplantation can repair the secondary rejection wounds after brain pacemaker implantation safely and effectively, with few postoperative complications.

OBJECTIVE： To study the mechanism of Prunus persica-Carthamus tinctorius couplet medicine in the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head （ONFH）. METHODS： The network pharmacology was adopted. The active components of P. persica -C. tinctorius couplet medicine and ONFH target were screened through TCM systematic pharmacological analysis platform target （TCMSP）， DRAR-CPI， hnuman gene database （GeneCards） and online medelian inheritance in man （OMIM） using oral availability of compounds （OB）＞30％ and drug like （DL）＞0.18 as standard. Network topology attribute analysis software Cytoscape 3.6.0 was utilized to construct the active components-ONFH targets network.
