The CHISS statistical software which has its own copyright protection in China is applied to the teaching in medical statistical. A questionnaire was carried out among 135 applicants after they had learnt the modern statistical method for 18 teaching hours and practiced on computers with CHISS for 6 teaching hours. Those applicants gave out the evaluations: CHISS has the character of convenient and visual demonstration. It can meet the needs of medical statistical teaching and doing research.

There exist a series of problems in heat stroke treatment,such as,pathogenesis is still unclear,clinical classification is too simple and has no intrinsic relation with pathophysiological process and prognosis,missing of indexes for hierarchical diagnosis and prognosis prediction,and lack of targeted therapeutic norms.All of these factors could lead to high mortality and disability by heat stroke.Our research team started an epidemiological investigation of heat stroke since 2002.On the basis of discovering organ injury rule,system info and treatment technology on critical medicine were applied to heat stroke treatment.Research on organ injury mechanism for heatstroke was carried out based on translational medicine idea,and periodic research results were also achieved.A series of key technologies for heat stroke treatment were obtained.These technologies were popularized in 30 hospitals across the country,thus improving ability of heat stroke treatment.

It is an important topic in life science research to study the method of intervening sub-health. Previous studies indicated that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has unique advantages in sub-health intervention. In this paper, TCM sub-health intervention was summarized from such aspects as diagnosing according to syndrome differentiation, application of herbal medicine and Chinese patent medicine, herbal cuisine and medicated bath. At the same time, the paper discussed methods of sub-health comprehensive intervention, the relation between individual physical factors and sub-health, and the potential influence of the sub-health intervention on the innovation of Chinese medicine health insurance.

Non-Drug Therapy has good advantages for sub-health state.Commonly used methods of non-drug therapy are health education,life conditioning,physical exercise,psychological adjustment,acupuncture,massage and etc.TCM has obvious advantages in the field of non-drug therapy,showing broad prospects.

BACKGROUND: Differentiation of neural stem calls (NSCs) was mediated by many environmental factors. Several factors can induce NSCs to differentiate into neurons in varying degrees and it is now a focus on the control of NSCs differentiation.OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of combination of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic growth factor (BDNF) on the differentiation of NSCs into neurons.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The in vitro cytology observation was performed at the Neurotomia Laboratory of China Medical University in May 2008.MATERIALS: Three adult male SD rats were provided by Experimental Animal Center of China Medical University.METHODS: Dispositions to the rats were consistent with ethical standards of animals. The rat brain hippocampus was removed sterilely. After trypsin digestion, NSCs were cultured in serum-free medium. Cell suspension was prepared and diluted when the diameter of the fourth passage of clone sphere was 200 μm by mixture of DMEM/F12 containing 2% B27, 20 μg/L of epidermal growth factor (EGF), and 20 μg/L bFGF. Monoclonal calls were passagad. NSCs were divided into blank control, bFGF, BDNF and bFGF+BDNF groups by different growth factors added into the media. Fetal bovine serum of 0.1 volume fraction was added in blank control group. The media in the other three groups were added bFGF, BDNF and bFGF+BDNF respectively for 1 week.The concentration of bFGF was 10 μg/L and the concentration of BDNF was 200 μg/L.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Immunocytochemistry staining was used to identify NSCs as well as to detect the differentiation of NSCs into neurons.RESULTS: The monoclonal calls expressed nestin and the differentiated call expressed neuron specific enolase and glial fibrillary acidic protein. Compared to blank control group, the proportion NSCs into neurons in the bFGF group, BDNF group and bFGF+BDNF group were much higher (t=3.409-7.558, P < 0.05), with the highest in bFGF+BDNF group (t =7.558, P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Combination of bFGF and BDNF can promote the differentiation of adult hippocampus NSCs into neurons.

BACKGROUND:Currently, bioactive glass and polylactic acid have been used in clinical dentistry and plastic surgery; however, their therapeutic outcomes are not satisfactory, because the material properties have some limitations. OBJECTIVE:To explore the cytocompatibility of oxygen plasma-treated polylactic acid and bioactive glass guided bone regeneration membrane. METHODS:Bioactive glass and polylactic acid were used as the basic materials to prepare polylactic acid membrane, polylactic acid and bioactive glass composite membrane and oxygen plasme-treated polylactic acid and bioactive glass composite membrane, al of which were used to culture MG63 cels. Cel adhesion rate, cel proliferation rate and alkaline phosphatase activity of MG63 cels on these three kinds of membranes were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With the growth of time, in these three groups of membranes, the cel adhesion rate and cel proliferation rate were al significantly increased. Alkaline phosphatase activity showed a decreasing trend after the first increase, and reached its peak at the 7thday of culture. The cel adhesion rate and cel proliferation rate in oxygen plasma-treated polylactic acid and bioactive glass group were significantly higher than those in the other two groups, while the cel adhesion and proliferation rates in polylactic acid and polylactic acid and bioactive glass groups were similar. At the 3rd day of culture, the alkaline phosphatase activity in the polylactic acid and bioactive glass group and oxygen plasma-treated polylactic acid and bioactive glass group was significantly higher than that in the polylactic acid group. At the 7th and 14th days, there was no significant difference in the alkaline phosphatase activity among these three groups. These results show that oxygen plasma-treated polylactic acid and bioactive glass composite membrane has good biocompatibility, which can better promote cel adhesion, proliferation and matrix secretion from osteogenic cels.

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of thoracic drainage by central venous catheter in critical patients with pleural effusion. Methods A prospective study was carried out,in which 46 critical patients with pleural effusion admitted to department of critical care medicine were included,and according to the types of their primary diseases to make matched pairs,and they were divided into two groups:conventional drainage control group and central venous catheter drainage observation group(each 23 cases). The drainage effect and complications were compared between the two groups,acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ)score, quantitative pleural effusion and the counts of white blood cells(WBC)and of platelets(PLT),the levels of prothrombin time(PT),procalcitonin(PCT)and C-reactive protein(CRP),etc. were measured on the baseline and 24 hours after the operation. Results There were no significant differences in the APACHEⅡ score,quantitative pleural effusion,amount and duration of drainage,as well as the levels of WBC,PLT,PT and PCT between group control and observation(all P>0.05). The post-drainage CRP(μg/L)level in group observation was much lower than that in group control(77.26±67.20 vs. 106.13±66.23,P<0.01). There was a trend that the incidence of complication in group control was higher than that in group observation(26.1%vs. 4.3%),but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05). Conclusions In the comparison between the conventional drainage and thoracic drainage with central venous catheter,the therapeutic effects for treatment of critical patients with pleural effusion were similar, but the stress was milder and the incidence of complications was lower in the latter group. Therefore,the thoracic drainage with central venous catheter is a safe,effective and alternative method to substitute the conventional drainage for critical patients with pleural effusion.
