Medical students have numerous courses with.relatively longer academic time at college.In addition,the special medical subject makes physical and recreational activities in medical schools far less lively than those in other universities or institutes of science and technology.Thus,medical students tend to encounters move difficulties involving move psychological problems in their studies.Therefore,it is a vital important problems for the university ethics teachers to cope with in the process of understanding the source of psychological disorders among medical students,and hence,improving psychological health education for them.

Objective To summarize the nursing methods and effect of artificial femoral head replacement in treatment of osteoporotic interttochanteric fracture in elderly patients. Methods 55 patients with esteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture were selected in our hospital from February 2007 to February 2011.All patients were cared by targeted preoperative and postoperative nursing,helping them conducting functional training in time,giving discharge counseling and follow-up.The hip functional recovery of patients was evaluated by using the Harris evaluation standard,and the excellent rate of surgery was also evaluated. Results After the targeted care,55 patients went through the perioperative period safely,the average length of stay was ( 14.0 ± 3.1 )days,a total of 5 cases (9.09%)patiants suffered varying degrees of complications which were improved after symptomatic treatment.Patients were followed up for 3 to 36 months,only 2 patients died of cerebral vascular accident,all patients gained good recovery of hip function.Harris score was (84.45 ± 9.38),the excellent rate of surgery reached 78.18%. Conclusions Atificial femoral head replacement proves significant effect in treatment of osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients,but with the accompanying surgical compliuations,special care and timely functional exercise methods should be paid attention to.

In order to improve the expression efficiency of recombinant IL~6 in eukaryotic cells, we constructed a new vector pcDIIL-6 to express IL-6 in eukaryotic cells on the basis of an eukaryotic vector pcDNA3IL-6 by introducin g the first intron of human?-globin gene into the downstream of CMV promoter in the pcDNASIL - 6. The IL-6 level expressed by pcDIIL - 6 is 7. 5 times higher than that of pcDNA3IL - 6. On the other hand , we studied the influence of pAdVAntage vector co - transfection on the expression level of IL-6 in eukaryotic cells and found the level of IL-6 is 3. 6 times higher than that of pcDNA3IL - 6. The results we got are beneficial to express cytokines with high efficiency in eukaryotic cells.

Tumor derived microparticles are released by activated or apoptotic tumor cells.They are ex-tracellular vesicles which are 0.1~1.0μm in diameters.Tumor derived microparticles carry abundant bioactive molecules,such as nucleic acids and proteins,which resemble that of the parental cell.In this review,we summa-rize the role of tumor derived microparticles in the occurrence,development,diagnosis and treatment of tumor.

Objective To study the relationship between the oncosis of pancreatic acinar cells and activa-tion of macrophage in rat model of acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods The pancreatic acinar cells were isolated by two-step enzyme digestion, and then they were divided into control group, AP group and test group. Pancreatic acinar cells were cultured with caerulein in AP group, with caerulein and endothelin in test group, and with culture medium in control group. The oncesis rate of the pancreatic acinar cells was detected after acridine orange and ethidium bromide fluorescent staining. The supernatant was collected to detect the release of amylase and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). The macrophages were cultured with 1 ml of supematant for 6 hours, and then the protein level of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was measured by ELISA. Results Few oncotic pancreatic acinar cells were observed in the control group, and the levels of amylase and LDH secreted by pancreatic acinar cells and TNF-α secreted by macrophage were (1175±165)kU/L, (846±118)U/L and (36±5)μg/L, respectively. Oncotic pancreatic acinar cells were observed in AP group, and the levels of amylase, LDH and TNF-α were (7130±680) kU/L, (4262±626) U/L and (155±18) μg/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in control group (t = 5.184, 4.277, 3.665, P < 0.05). The levels of amylase, LDH and TNF-α were even higher in test group, and they were (9240±1177) kU/L, (6937±893)U/L and (268±35)μg/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in AP group (t = 2.251, 2.825, 2.843, P < 0.05). Conclusions The release of amylase was changed as the oncosis of pancreatic acinar cells occurred. The secretion of TNF-α was along with the degree of oncosis of pancreatic acinar cells. The results of the study indicate that a relationship exists among the inflammatory response of macrophage, the release of contents of pancreatic acinar cells and the oncosis of the pancreatic acinar cells.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the arsenic trioxide(As2O3)-induced oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in mouse oocytes and possible mechanisms. METHODS ① For in vitro assay,the mouse oocytes were denuded from ovaries of normal mice and incubated in medium for 20 h in different treatment groups:control,As2O3 1 and 2 μmol · L- 1,N-acetylcysteine (NAC) 5 mmol · L-1, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy(Tempo)1 mmol · L-1, As2O3(1 and 2 μmol · L-1)+NAC 5 mmol · L-1,As2O3 (1 and 2 μmol · L-1)+Tempo 1 mmol · L-1. ② For in vivo assay,mice were subjected to ip injection with physiological saline (normal control),As2O3 1 and 2 mg · kg-1,or As2O3 (1 and 2 mg · kg-1)+NAC 200 mg · kg-1, respectively. After 60 d,all the mice were sacrificed and their ovaries were quickly excised. Intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS) levels were determined by 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein-diacetate (DCFH-DA). The oxidative damage to mtDNA was induced using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)for 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine(8-OHdG). The expression of DNA polymerase γ(Polγ)and mitochondrial transcription factor A(mtTFA)was detected by Western blotting and the vitality of lysosomes was monitored by β-galactosidase(β-Gal)Assay Kit. RESULTS ①In vitro experiments,As2O3 elevated 8-OHdG levels of mtDNA in mouse oocytes accom? panied by increased levels of ROS (P<0.05),but co-treatment with NAC or Tempo significantly reduced ROS and 8- OHdG levels (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the expression levels of Pol γ and mtTFA were down-regulated by As2O3(P<0.05),but were markedly elevated by the addition of NAC or Tempo (P<0.05). ②In vivo assay,As2O3 elevated ROS as well as 8-OHdG levels of mtDNA in mouse oocytes,while the expression levels of Pol γ and mtTFA were down-regulated by As2O3(P<0.05). Co-treatment with NAC significantly reduced ROS and 8-OHdG levels,but markedly elevated Pol γ and mtTFA levels(P<0.05). Besides,a notable increase in β-Gal activity was shown in As2O3-treated mouse oocytes in vitro (P<0.05),while antioxidants efficiently reduced the activity (P<0.05). However,no significant changes were observed in the in vivo study. CONCLUSION The oxidative damage to mtDNA induced by As2O3 in mouse oocytes may be mediated by ROS and associated with down-regulation of protein levels of Pol γ and mtTFA as well as increment of lysosomal activity.

Objective To express human chemokine-like factor 1 (CKLF1) in Drosophila S2 cells and study its function. Methods The pMT/V5-His-CKLF1 expression plasmid was constructed and transfected into Drosophila S2 cells. The positive clones were selected through PCR and RT-PCR. The culture medium was analyzed by Western blot with anti-CKLF1 polyclonal antibody. Chemotaxis and MTT assays on human peripheral blood and C2C12 cells, respectively, were then carried out with the medium. Results CKLF1 was transcribed efficiently in S2 cells. The expressed CKLF1 protein could be detected in the culture supernatant by Western blot, which showed weak chemotactic activity on both human peripheral blood neutrophils and lymphocytes as well as enhancing effect on the proliferation of C2C12 cells. Conclusion CKLF1 was expressed successfully in Drosophila S2 cells and secreted into the culture medium. The recombinant CKLF1 expressed in Drosophila cells can chemoattract leucocytes and promote the proliferation of C2C12 cells.
