Objective To study the changes of serum and tissue soluble intercellular adhesion molecule(sICAM)-1 in colorectal cancer patients and their clinical significance. Methods Serum level of sICAM-1 was detected by the double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method in 44 patients with colorectal cancer before and after operation, 28 patients with intestinal polyps and 30 controls.Simultaneously, tissue level of sICAM-1 was measured in the patients of colorectal cancer and intestinal polyps. Results The serum sICAM-1 level in colorectal cancer patients[ (693.22±276.25) mg/L]was significantly higher than that in the intestinal polyps patients [(61.99±27.39) mg/L]and healthy controls[(59.28±27.55) mg/L]. The tissue sICAM-1 level in the colorectal cancer [(706.92±286.09)mg/L ]was significantly higher than that in the intestinal polyps patients[ (63.06±27.06) mg/L,P<0.01 ]. The serum and tissue levels of sICAM-1 in Dukes C-D stages of the colorectal cancer showed significantly higher than those in Dukes A-B stages (P<0.01 ). The level of sICAM-1 declined remarkably after one month of radical operation. Conversely, it decreased illegibly after palliative operation. Conclusion Dynamic alterations of serum and tissue sICAM-1 level may be used as indicators of diagnosis, choice of operative method and judgment of prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer.

Objective To observe the Alberta combined with Infant Language Assessment Scale used in rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy.Methods From Jun.2012 to Jun.2013,64 cases of cerebral palsy in Children's Hospital Affiliated to Suzhou University were selected according to the different interventions and were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,32 patients in each group.The control group underwent conventional rehabilitation training included exercise therapy (mainly Bobath therapy,Ueda therapy) and application Infants Language Assessment Scale for treatment,and the observation group on the basis of the method above,set the action in accordance with Alberta infant motor scale(AIMS) assessment to develop rehabilitation programs.Adhere to 3 hours a day of repeated intensive training.Efficacy in children after treatment was compared,and forceful move and fine motor movements and the changes in development quotient(DQ) before and after treatment were compared between 2 groups.Results The total efficiency of the observation group and the control group was 90.6% and 71.9%,respectively,and there was statistically significant differences between 2 groups (x2 =6.317,P < 0.05).After treatment,the DQ of big movement and fine motor in observation group (47.92 ± 7.15,42.55 ± 8.1 3) were significantly higher than before treatment (36.18 ± 8.23,33.71 ± 10.16) and the control group (38.13 ± 8.21,36.58 ± 8.06),the differences were statistically significant(t =6.235,5.452,6.137,5.243,all P < 0.05).Conclusions The combination of the rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy in infants language Alberta combined score rating scale,help to improve rehabilitation results and motor function in children,which is of recommendation and application.

The geriatrics department of Zhongnan Hospital covers all subspecialties of internal medicine with six separated wards, so it is difficult to manage and teach the students who participate in standardized training for resident physicians. In the residents' standardized training of geriatrics department, the interactive support platform named micro-teaching assistant was applied to carry out teaching activities such as classroom check-in, classroom testing and classroom discussion of teaching rounds and small lectures. It not only effectively manages the teaching order, but also improves students' enthusiasm and autonomy by encouraging them to participate in classroom interaction actively. The case analysis quiz and interactive discussion have a good effect on consolidating and deepening the students' professional knowledge, and improving the ability of clinical analysis and problem solving. The attendance rates, class discussion and test scores were recorded in a real and objective way, so that teachers can observe the whole process of students' learning and then make a formative assessment. At the same time, teachers are urged to adjust the teaching contents and progress in time, so as to achieve the goal of promoting "teaching" and "learning" mutually.

BACKGROUND:
Existing evidence suggests that fruit consumption is a significant influencing factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but this is unclear in the Chinese population. We examined the association of fresh fruit consumption with the risk of COPD-related hospitalization and death in a nationwide, population-based prospective cohort from China.
METHODS:
Between 2004 and 2008, the China Kadoorie Biobank recruited >0.5 million adults aged 30 to 79 years from ten diverse regions across China. After excluding individuals diagnosed with major chronic diseases and prevalent COPD, the prospective analysis included 421,428 participants. Cox regression was used to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) for the association between fresh fruit consumption and risk of COPD-related hospitalization and death, with adjustment for established and potential confounders.
RESULTS:
During a mean follow-up of 10.9 years, 11,292 COPD hospitalization events and deaths were documented, with an overall incidence rate of 2.47/1000 person-years. Participants who consumed fresh fruit daily had a 22% lower risk of COPD-related hospitalization and death compared with non-consumers (HR = 0.78, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.71-0.87). The inverse association between fresh fruit consumption and COPD-related hospitalization and death was stronger among non-current smokers and participants with normal body mass index (BMI) (18.5 kg/m 2 ≤ BMI < 24.0 kg/m 2 ); the corresponding HRs for daily fresh fruit consumption were 0.78 (95% CI: 0.68-0.89) and 0.69 (95% CI: 0.59-0.79) compared with their counterparts, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
High-frequency fruit consumption was associated with a lower risk of COPD in Chinese adults. Increasing fruit consumption, together with cigarette cessation and weight control, should be considered in the prevention and management of COPD.
