Postgraduate education is the highest leveled education in the national education hierarchy and bears the historic task of providing top-notch innovative personnel for the country and conducting independent innovation. At present,the medical degree is divided into two types: clinical scientific degree and clinical professional degree. Clinical scientific degree is different from clinical professional degree due to its importance and peculiarities. Therefore,education for postgraduates with clinical scientific degree faces many problems in enrollment,research and clinical capacity develop-ment and evaluation system. Through reforming enrollment plan,strengthening capacity building and establishing sound clinical education evaluation system can further improve training quality for post-graduates with clinical scientific degree.

Objective To research and develop the model of external reciprocating sports intermittent hypoxia box for rats. Methods Two animal cabins (28 cm?20 cm?15 cm) and one hypoxia chamber (80 cm?80 cm?60 cm) which covered each cabin in turn were developed. 4 male SD rats were placed in each animal cabin. The hypoxia chamber in which low O2 concentration was maintained with filling high-pure Nitrogen continuously, moved to and fro between two animal cabins, and driven by a servomotors. Two animal cabins were covered in turn by the hypoxia chamber and get the same low O2 concentration as in the hypoxia chamber. The goal volume fraction of oxygen in hypoxia chamber was (10?0.5)% and the time of unilateral movement from one animal cabin to another was 4 s, the cycle time of intermittent hypoxia was 180 s, the retention time was 86 s (including the hypoxia and normoxia time was 90 s respectively). The hypoxia chamber runs 8 h per day. The numerical value on artery blood gas of rats in which hypoxia chamber inside and outside was measured Results The reciprocating sports intermittent hypoxia chamber can be operated safely and reliably. The lowest PaO2 is (4.766? 0.536) kPa(or (35.75 ?4.02) mmHg) and the lowest SaO2 is 0.69 ?0.08 when the animal cabin in hypoxia chamber. Conclusion The chronic intermittent hypoxia model for rats is established by self-developed external reciprocating sports intermittent hypoxia chamber.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of three yin points acupuncture plus medicinal spreading moxibustion in treating erectile dysfunction.Methods Sixty patients with erectile dysfunction meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated to two groups, 30 cases each. The control group took sildenafil at 1 hr before sexual intercourse. The treatment group received three yin points acupuncture plus medicinal spreading moxibustion, 8 days as one course of treatment, for three consecutive courses with 2 days of rest between the courses. The erectile function was scored in the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared.Results The total efficacy rate was 93.3% in the treatment group and 80.0% in the control group; there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The marked efficacy rate was 83.3% in the treatmentn group and 60.0% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). in the treatment group, there was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the erectile function score after 20 days of treatment (P<0.05) and statistically a very significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the erectile function score after 30 days of treatment (P<0.01). In the control group, the overall therapeutic effect was stable after treatment and there was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the erectile function score (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant post-treatment difference in the erectile function score between the treatment and control groups (P>0.05).Conclusions Both acupuncture-moxibustion and sildenafil have a therapeutic effect on erectiledysfunction. Sildenafil produces a rapid and stable effect. Acupuncture and moxibustion produce a slower effect but have an advantage in the marked efficacy rate. Acupuncture and moxibustion are safe, of fewer contraindications and suitable for most of the population.

AIM: To study the subtype of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) which induce contralateral rotations of rats after mGluRs activation. METHODS: Turning movement was measured at 6 h after agonist or antagonist of mGluRs was microinjected into rat striatum. RESULTS: tACPD, an agonist of mGluRs, at 500 nmol and 1 000 nmol induced contralateral rotations of rats. L-AP 3, MCPG and dantrolene attenuated the turning effect of tACPD. DHPG, a selective agonist of group I mGluRs, mimicked the effect of tACPD. The effect of DHPG was blocked by MCPG, LY367385 (antagonist of mGluR 1) and MPEP (antagonist of mGluR 5), and abolished by pretreatment with reserpine (5 mg/kg). CONCLUSION: These results indicated the activation of group I mGluRs in rat striatum induced turning effect, which may be associated with the mobilization of intracellular Ca 2+ stores and dependant on the existence of dopamine.
