The authors first expound the connotations and origin of the legal person management structure and then discuss the following issues: the dual relation of agency by agreement characteristic of medical institutions, the need to take management structure as the priority of hospital reform in delegating powers to lower levels, the primary strategies and major means of the legal person management structure of corporations, and questions related to the management structure of the medical industry abroad: who should become the agent of the patient, how to unify the interests of the agent and the consignor by means of reasonable remuneration designs, etc. Finally the authors give an account of the inspiration that can be drawn from the legal person management structure to the public hospital property right system reform in China.

Objective: To investigate whether the signaling of PI3K/Akt is involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation (EMT) of human kidney tubular epithelial cell (HKC) promoted by transforming growth factor (TGF)-?_1. Methods: the HKC was cultured on plastic plates in the presence or absence of recombinant human TGF-?_1 and PI3K inhibitor wortmannin. The expression of total- and phosphor-Akt and ?-SMA was assessed at different time point by Western blot. Results: In HKC, basic level of p-Akt, ?-SMA expression was found in the normal condition. Profound increase of p-Akt was seen at 0.5 h after induction of 10 ng/ml TGF-?_1 in HKC.?-SMA increased markedly at 48 h after the treatment of TGF-?_1. Adding PI3K inhibitor wortmannin (10 nmol/L) largely abrogated the effect of TGF-?_1. Wortmannin was shown to down-regulate ?-SMA and p-Akt expression in response to TGF-?_1. Conlusion: PI3K/Akt is a downstream mediator in EMT of HKC promoted by TGF-?_1, and PI3K inhibitor wortmannin can significantly inhibit EMT induced by TGF-?_1.

Objective To investigate the effect of activated PI3-K on epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation of HKCs induced by transforming growth factor?1 (TGF-?1). Methods The human kidney proximal tubular epithelial cells (HKCs) cultured on plastic plates were divided into following groups: cultured with free serum medium (FSM); culture in the different concentrations of TGF-?1; cultured in the presence of recombinant human TGF-?1 and PI3-K inhibitor Wortmannin. The expression of total and phosphor-Akt (t-Akt and p-Akt) was assessed at different time points by Western blot,? smooth muscle actin(?-SMA) and E-cadherin were detected by Western blot. Results A marked increase in p-Akt was seen in HKC at 1h after being induced by TGF-?1, and its protein level was enhanced in a TGF-?1 concentration-dependent manner. Protein level of ?-SMA was increased markedly at 48 hours after the treatment of TGF-?1, but protein level of E-cadherin was decreased 48 hours after treatment of TGF-?1. Addition of PI3-K inhibitor Wortmannin (10nmol/L) largely abrogated the effect of TGF-?1. Wortmannin was showed to down-regulate ?-SMA and p-Akt expression and in response to TGF-?1 and up-regulate E-cadherin expression. Conclusion PI3-K was activated in epithelial-mesenchymal trans-differentiation of HKCs promoted by TGF-?1, and PI3-K inhibitor Wortmannin can significantly inhibit TGF-?1 induction of EMT.

BACKGROUND: The renal transplanted recipients were in poor immunosuppressive state. Compared to common person, the bladder transitional carcinoma in recipients was aggressive and easy to recurrence. Looking for a more effective therapy method to decrease the recurrence of recipients' bladder transitional carcinoma is the hot and difficult problem in clinical study.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the efficacy and safety of submucosal injection epirubicin following transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-Bt) to treat the recurrence of bladder transitional cell carcinoma in renal transplantation recipients.METHODS: Totally 9 renal transplantation recipients with transitional cell carcinoma of bladder were retrospectively studied. The patients' periods without cancer, the frequency of recurrence within one year, the rates of side effect, the changes of tumor grading following recurrence and allograff function were recorded when the routine method and submucosal injection epirubicin following TUR-Bt were used in different period respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Submucosal injection epirubicin following transurethral resection of bladder tumor was safe and effective to treat bladder transitional cell carcinoma recurrence in renal transplantation recipients. Compared to the routine perfusion, periods without cancer and the frequency of recurrence within 1 year were significantly decreased, which can elevate recipients life quality and long-term survival rates.

Objective:To investigate the epidemic features of allergic rhinitis(AR)and correlative risk factors in Shihezi city,Xinjiang province,China. Method:A question-naire survey on AR and airway diseases was conducted among 2300 elementry school children in 12 schools,aged from 9 to 10 years old,from july 10 to 25,2008. in Shihezi city,Xinjiang province.Suspects of AR was identified by the survey,then they were recommended to specialist examinations for accurate diagnosis. Allergen skin tests were peformed to explore the allergenic varieties of allergic rhinitis. Diagnosis criteria of AR were that of ARIA(Allergic rhinitis and its impact on asthma). Resuit:Two thousand two hundred and eleven questionnaires were returned. The response rate was 96.1% and 2205 questionnaires were available.The prevalence rate of AR in children aged from 9 to 10 was 12.56%(277/2205) in Shihezi city.The difference of prevalence between female 13.76%(153/1112) and male 11.34%(124/1093) was insignificant statistically(χ~2=2.924,P＞0.05). The positive rate of the allergen skin test was 65.3%. The most common allergen of allergic rhinitis were plants of the mugwort and house dust mite. According to the ciassification criteria of ARIA in 2001,of 155 children suffered from intermittent AR,112 cases were mild and 43 cases were moderate-severe,while 122 suffered from persistent AR,110 cases were mild and 12 cases were moderatesevere. 5.4%(15/277) patients with AR also had bronchial asthma.25.3%(70/277) of the children with AR had inherent predisposition.Conclusion:The prevalence rate of AR in children aged from 9 to 10 in Shihezi city is 12.56%. Strategy of prevention and treatment of AR can be worked out according to the epidemical feature of AR.

Objective To evaluate the effect of interactive case teaching(ICT) method in teaching hematology.Methods Sixty students were randomly selected from 2009 grade clinical medicine majors in the Third Military Medical University and were divided into experimental group and control group,each group with 30 students.Students in experimental group used ICT； while those in control group used traditional teaching method.Closed book exam was conducted for students in experimental group and control group at the end of the semester； question types of the exam included concept questions (nouns explain,choice,short answer questions) for 70 points,cases analysis question for 30 points,a total of 100 points.Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ((x) ±s) and analyzed with SPSS 20.0 independent sample t test.Questionnaire was designed and feedback from students was statistically analyzed.Results There was no statistical differences between experimental group and control group in concept questions (P =0.580),however,in terms of cases analysis question,scores in experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group (P =0.000) ； total scores of experimental group were also significantly higher than those in control group (P =0.016).Feedback showed that the students highly valued the form and effect of ICT.Conclusions Using ICT in teaching hematology can arouse students' enthusiasm for study,cultivate their independent thinking and ability of problem-solving.Meanwhile,ICT can combined theoretical teaching with clinical practice well and improve the quality of teaching.
