Objective To explore the effect of case discussion and process evaluation on the teaching of obstetric and gynecological nursing. Methods In April 2014, case discussion and process evaluation were used in the teaching of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy for 50 undergraduate students recruited in 2011. Group tests were used to evaluate the learning outcomes. Results The score of the 50 students ranged from 50 to 100, with the mean score of 83.6 ± 11.2 for the individual test. By group test, the score ranged from 64 to 88,with the mean score of 78.5 ± 8.8, 87.8% to 95.9% of the students were satisfied with this teaching method. Conclusions Case discussion and process evaluation can improve the teachers′competence, enrich the contents of teaching. It is effective to cultivate the students′critical thinking and competence in using knowledge to solve the clinical problems.

Objective To investigate the relationship between nuclear factor(NF)-κB activity and lactacystin induced prostate cancer cell apoptosis.Methods Two prostate cancer cell were divided into two groups:blank control group treated with culture solution,lactacystin group treated with different concentration of lactacystin(0.5,1.0,2.0,4.0 μ mol/L),the action time were 8,16 and 24 hours.The cell survival rate was measured by MTT assay.NF-κB DNA binding activity was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,the expression of NF-κB P65 nuclear protein was detected by Western blot assay,and caspase-3 activity was analyzed by enzyme analysis assay.Results On basal condition,the NF-κ B DNA binding activity was much higher in DU145 cell than that in LNCaP cell(t=4.728,P=0.001).Compared with blank control group,different concentration of lactacystin groups'NF-κ B DNA binding activity in both the LNCaP and DU145 cell were reduced.The expression of NF-κB p65 nuclear protein decreased along with raising of lactacystin concentration in LNCaP cell,but it did not change in DU145 cell.On basal condition,caspase-3activity in DU145 cell was higher than that in LNCaP cell(t=4.519,P=0.001).After lactacystin acting of 24 hours,caspase-3 activity increased along with raising of lactacystin concentration in both the LNCaP and DU145 cell(2.0 μmol/L lactacystin group compared with 1.0 μmol/L lactacystin group,DU145 cell P=0.000,LNCaP cell P=0.000).Conclusions Lactacystin has different killing effects on prostate cancer cell.The mechanism may be related to inducing the apoptosis by down-regulation of NF-κB activity.There may be additional cell survival/death pathway in androgen-independent prostate cancer cell.

Objective To explore the significance of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of cervical carcinoma. Methods 45 patients undergoing surgery for cervical carcinoma were enrolled. Transvaginal color Doppler flow imaging was performed preoperatively to detect the arterial blood flow signals within the tumors and the lowest resistance index (RI) value was recorded for analysis. Results Significant difference RI values were noted in cervical carcinoma group compared with contrast group (P <0.001). RI were associated with tumor diameter, stage status, pathologic grade and pelvic lymph node metastasis of cervical carcinoma(P < 0.05). There were no relations between RI and patients's age and pathologic type (P >0.05). Conclusion The angiogenesis character of cervical carcinoma can be showed by RI, and RI had some inherent connections with clinicopathologic parameters of cervical carcinoma. Transvaginal color doppler ultrasound could accurately predict angiogenesis of cervical carcinoma preoperatively and be of importance in the diagnosis of cervical carcinoma. It could provide standard in prognosis evaluation.

Objective To study whether transient overexpression of tumor suppressor gene PTEN could lead to growth suppression and up-regulate the sensitivity to doxorubicin of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Methods The eukaryotic expression plasmid pEGFP-C 1-PTEN containing whole cDNA of PTEN was constructed and transfected into MCF-7 cells by Lipofectamine 2000 in vitro. Growth inhibition of the cells was observed by phase contrast microscope and flow cytometry. The clonogenic cell survival ability was studied by clony forming assay. MCF-7 cells′ chemosensitivity to adriamycin was studied with MTT assay. Results PTEN overexpression led to morphological changes characteristic of apoptosis of MCF-7 cells. PTEN overexpression also resulted in a significant increase in G 0/G 1 cell population (14.79%) and apoptosis (10.60%) detected by flow cytometry. The clonogenic survival rate of cells transfected with PTEN was significantly decreased after doxorubicin treatment compared with control. The transfected cells were more sensitive to doxorubicin compared with the control cells ( ? 2=8.59 , P

Laminin(LN) and hyaluronie acid (HA) are extracellular matrix in liver. The effects of LN and HA on human fetal liver cells proliferation and collagen synthesis were observed and serum levels of LN and HA were assayed m patients with liver diseases by an enzyme immunoassay method. Both LN and HA had a significant effect on the inhibition of cell proliferation and collagen production. However, serum levels of LN and HA were significantly increased in liver cirrhosis comparing with healthy controls and with patients with non-liver diseases. The results suggest that LN and HA may play a role in the feed-back inhibition mechanism in liver fibrogencsis, and assay of LN and HA in serum may be useful to the diagnosis of liver fibrosis.

Objective To analyze the papers published by domestic scientific research workers in order to improve the academic level of their papers. Methods The papers published by over 3000 domestic scientific research workers were investigated with questionnaires. Their motives to publish papers and the relation between the number of pub-lished papers and the assessment of their performance were analyzed. Results The number of papers published by domestic scientific research workers was increased. However, their academic level was to be further improved. Over quantization of the assessment mechanisms for scientific research increased the external motives to publish papers, thus leading to the insufficient internal motives of them to engage in scientific research. Conclusion A loose and comfortable academic environment should be created for the scientific research workers in order to initiate their in-ternal motives to publish papers. Over quantization of the assessment mechanisms for scientific research should be changed in order to reduce the external motives of domestic scientific research workers to publish papers. Innovative and cultural environment should be created in order to improve the soft power of scientific research in our country.

Objective To estimate the radiation dose and cancer risk of thyroid for children who underwent head CT or chest CT scans.Methods The parameters used in the CT scans were accessed from the DICOM files through PACS used DCMTK software, then the thyroid radiation dose was estimated with the CT-Expo(C) software and the cancer risk induced by CT scan was projected based on BEIR Ⅱ model combined with the Chinese cancer incidence and lifetime table in 2008.Results CT parameters used for different ages were roughly the same, the thyroid equivalent dose for head CT ranged from 1.2-2.0 mGy, the highest thyroid cancer risk occurs for newborn girls, about 9.6/100 thousand population;while for chest CT the thyroid equivalent dose ranged from 8.1 to 38.0 mGy, the highest thyroid cancer risk was also for newborn girls, about 244.7/100 thousand population.The radiation dose and cancer risk for thyroid decreased with the increased age.Conclusions The radiation dose for thyroid from chest CT was relatively higher than head CT, especially for newborn babies;therefore more protection should be given to the thyroid and other radio-sensitive organs during CT scanning.
