There are many defects in traditional clinical medical education,Socratic method has been used in law and commerce education,and we find it has the feasibility and operation to use the method in clinical medical education.

70%). Imipenem was of the strongest activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa with the susceptibility of 86.3% but cefetaxime and ceftriaxone were of the weakest with the susceptibility of 6.8% and 11.0%, respectively. Conclusion The clinically isolated drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains are increasing year by year. Therefore, clinical doctors should choose antibiotics rationally in dealing with the P. aeruginosa infected patients according to drug resistance test.

Objective To study the effect of the magnetic field-treated water on metabolism of monoaminergic nerve transmitters in mice. Methods Twenty healthy aged Kunming mice were divided into a control group and an experimental group randomly. The mice in the control group were given tap-water and those in the experimental group magnetic field-treated water for 30 days. The content of monoaminergic nerve transmitters in brain of mice in the two groups were determined. Results A significant difference was found in the content of monoaminergic nerve transmitters between the control and the experimental groups. The contents of NE, DA, 5-HT and 5-HIAA increased significantly(P

Objective To explore the factors affecting urinary arsenic methylated metabolites in population exposed to elevated arsenic through drinking water.Methods Residents,including 73 males and 72 females,in a endemic village located in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region where the concentration of arsenic in drinking water was 0.167 mg/L,were included in the study; moming urine samples were collected; individual height and weight were measured which could be used to calculate body mass index(BM庆) ; and smoking and drinking habit was investigated by a questionnaire survey.Urinary concentrations of inorganic arsenic (iAs),monomethylarsenic acid(MMA) and dimethylarsenic acid(DMA) were determined using high performance liquid chromatography hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HPLC-HG-AFC).Total arsenic (T-As) level was calculated by the sum of iAs,MMA and DMA; iAs％,MMA％ and DMA％ was calculated based on iAs/T-As,MMA/T-As and DMA/T-As.One methylation ratio(PMI) and dimethyl rate(SMI) were calculated by MMA/iAs and DMA/MMA.Results SMI level of female was significantly higher than that of male [median (M) =4.18,3.38,x2 =11.219,P ＜ 0.05] ; MMA％ of female was significantly lower than that of male(M =15.1 9,18.06,x2 =9.272,P ＜ 0.05) ; DMA％ of female was significantly higher than that of male (M =65.61,59.47,x2 =11.728,P ＜ 0.05).Various forms of arsenic indexes were not affected by smoking,alcohol consumption and BMI(P ＞ 0.05).BMI was negatively correlated with MMA％,with correlation coefficient (r)-0.17 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Under the same condition of arsenic exposure,arsenic methylation capacity of women is higher than that of men.Lower BMI is significantly associated with higher methylation capability of arsenic,but this correlation may be affected by other confounding factors.

Objective To evaluate the effects of penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC) on the expression of Toll like receptor-4 (TLR4) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κcB) in a rat model of sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI).Methods Seventy-two adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 180-220 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =24 each) using a random number table:shame operation group (group S),ALI group and PHC group.Sepsis-induced ALl was induced by cecal ligation and puncture in anesthetized rats.In group PHC,PHC 0.45 mg/kg was intramuscularly injected immediately after cecal ligation and puncture.At 6,12,24 and 36 h after ligation,the broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for detection of TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations and the lungs were removed for determination of the expression of TLR4 (using RT-PCR and Western blot) and NF-κBp65 (using Western blot) in lung tissues and for microscopic examination.The pathological changes of lungs were scored.The wet to dry lung weight (W/D) ratio was calculated and the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in lung tissues was measured.Results As compared with S group,the IL-6 concentrations in BALF at 6,12 and 24 h after ligation,TNF-α concentration in BALF at 6 and 12 h after ligation,and the expression of TLR4 and NF-κBp65,pathological scores,W/D ratio and MPO activity at each time point were significantly increased in ALI group (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with ALI group,the TNF-α concentration in BALF at 6 and 12 h after ligation,and IL-6 concentrations in BALF,the expression of TLR4 and NF-κBp65,pathological scores,W/D ratio and MPO activity at each time point were significantly decreased in group PHC (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion PHC inhibits NF-κB activation and decreases inflammatory responses through blocking TLR4 expression in lung tissues,thus attenuating sepsis-induced ALI in rats.

Cardio-protective action of synthetic peptide 6A, fibrinogen degradation segment, was observed on the myocardial injury model produced by subcutaneous injection of iso-proterenol (30 mg?kg-1-d-1) into rat. Treatment with peptide 6A (50 ?mol?kg-1? d-1,iv) significantly ameliorated isoproterenol-induced myocardial lesion, inhibited release of myocardial creatine phosphokinase, ?-hydroxybutyratedehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase and gluta-mate-oxaloacetate transaminase, lowered plasma fibrinogen content,and markedly prevented myocardial calcium accumulation. The results suggest that peptide 6A could have potential significance for clinical therapy of ischemia heart diseases.

Objective To compare 2 methods to immobilize probes on the surface of gold membrane and select the better one for aptamer immobilization of aptamer-based piezoelectric quartz crystal sensor. Methods Anti-IgE aptamers were immobilized on the gold surface of piezoelectric quartz crystal sensor with thiol method or biotin-avidin method. The changes of frequency were compared in reactions with different concentrations of IgE. Results Biotin-avidin method obtained higher frequency changes in the reactions of IgE, lower limit of detection and wider liner range than thiol method. For biotin-avidin method, there was significant linear correlation between frequency changes and the concentration of IgE with the correlation coefficient of 0.994 5. Conclusion The thiol method which is proved effective for probe immobilization on gene sensor is unfit for aptamer immobilization. Biotin-avidin method has a better ability to immobilize probe on the surfaces of aptamer-based piezoelectric quartz crystal sensor.

Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of ureteral obstruction caused by endometriosis. Methods Out of 23 patients suffered from endometriosis treated from 1997 to 2000,ureteral obstruction occurred in 2 accompanied by hydronephrosis and dilatation of ureter.Both the 2 underwent sub total hysterectomy, resection of the intumescence in pelvic cavity, and the ureter was freed from the surrounding tissue. Results Ureteral obstruction was relieved in 7～10 days after the procedure. Both the petients were followed up for 2 years without recurrence. Conclusions Attention shoud be called to ureteral obstruction caused by endometriosis.Ultrasonic examination and intravenous pyelogram before operation, close examination of the ureter and adequate freeing of the ureter from it's surrounding tissue during operation, the application of gestrinone for 6 months after the operation, and scheduled following up would yield a satisfactory outcome.
