Objective To observe the level changes of serum interleukin-18(IL-18) and tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?) in alcohol liver disease of rats.Methods The dose of 56% alcohol [5～9 g/(kg?d)] was administeredvia gastrolavage once daily for 12 weeks in ALD model rats.The control rats were grven the same volume of saline.The rats were killed at the end of 4,8,12W.The pathological changes of liver were observed under light microscope after HE staining,and the levels of IL-18 and TNF-? in serum was determined with ELISA.Results The tissues of model rats showed various changes of chronic alcohol liver disease at the end of 4,8,12W,such as: fatty degeneration,inflammatory changes and fibrosis.The levels of ALT and AST in models were obviously higher than those of the controls(P

Objective To investigate the effects of environmental endocrine disruptors-phytoestrogen soybean isoflavone on serum glucose and lipid in rats with orchiectomy.Methods Fifty-four healthy clean male Wistar rats aged 7 weeks were randomly divided into 6 groups,9 in each group,according to their weight and named as the groups of SHAM,ORCH,L-SI,M-SI,H-SI and EC.The rats were injected intraperitoneally with 1.5% sodium pentobarbital according to 40 mg/kg,and they were either shamoperated or orchiectomized.The rats were fed on high fat diet for 4 weeks.There was 1,3,9 g soybean isoflavone and 0.45 mg estrobene per kilogram high fat diet in L-SI,M-SI,H-SI and EC respectively.At the 2nd and 4th week,serum insulin,fasting blood glucose and lipid (TG,TC,HDL and LDL) were detected.Results The weights of rats with orchiectomy was significantly decreased compared with sham-operated rats,and compared with the EC group,the weights of other groups'rats were significantly higher.The weight was decreased along with the increase of the dose of soy isoflavone.At the end of 4 weeks,SIF significantly decreased serum glucose compared with ORCH,and the insulin level was significantly increased in M-SI and H-SI group.SIF and estrogen could significantly decrease TC,but they did not have obvious effect on LDL.SIF could not improve HDL level in rats with orchiectomy.Even though there was no statistic difference,the TG levels of SIF groups were deceased.Conclusion SIF can decrease serum glucose level via raising insulin level in rats with orchiectomy.SIF can decrease serum TC level significantly and regulate TG level while there is no influence on HDL and LDL.

Objective To explore the concentration of required residual available chlorine dioxide(ClO 2 )and optimun contact time for ClO 2 disinfection in order to ensure the microbiological indexes of waste water of hospital disinfected by ClO 2 qualified.Meth ods The waste water samples collected from hospital,to which were aritificially added with predetermined con-centrations of bacteria,were disinfected by various concentrations of ClO 2 (2?4?6?8?10?12mg /L)with various contact time (5?10?30?60?90min).After disinfection,the concentration of residual ClO 2 and the contents of microorganism in waste water samples were determined.Re sults After30-min disinfection by10.0mg /L ClO 2 ,the waste water sample originally containing1.52?10 2 /L E.coli showed a bactericidal rate of99.99%and a concentration of residual ClO 2 at2.5mg /L.After10-min disin-fection by10.0mg /L ClO 2 ,the waste water samples originally containing1.12?10 10 /L Salmonella showed a bactericidal rate of100%and a concentration of residual ClO 2 at2mg /L.After5-min disinfection by10.0mg /L ClO 2 ,the waste water samples o-riginally containing M.tu berculosis at concentration of++++showed a negative result and a concentration of residual ClO 2 at3.5mg/L.Conclusion After the primary treatment,ClO 2 disinfection with contact time of30minutes and a residual concentration of ClO 2 at2.5mg /L could ensure the germicidal effect for E.coli,Salmonella and M.tu berculosis in waste water of hospital qualified.

ObjectiveTo investigate mutations in exons 19, 20 and 21 of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MethodsEGFR gene mutations in exons 19, 20 and 21 were detected by nested PCR amplification and DNA sequencing in 46 elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The relationship between mutations and clinical characteristics of these patients was analyzed. ResultsEGFR gene mutations were found in 56.5% (26/46) patients and 41.3% (19/46)were non-silent mutations. Mutation of exon 19 was detected in 6 cases (13.0%), mutation of exon 20 in 13 cases(28.2%) and that of exon 21 in 14 cases (30.4%). Seven patients among them had double mutations and the rest only had a single mutation. The incidence of EGFR gene mutations was higher in non-smokers than in smokers(P＜ 0.01). Higher EGFR mutation rate in exon 19, 20 and 21 were found in patients with clinical benefit who were treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKl)(P＜0.05). There was no difference in EGFR mutation rate between 60～69 age group and 70～85 age group. ConclusionsThe data suggest that the characteristics of EGFR gene mutations in elderly patients with NSCLC is the same as in the general NSCLC patients. The forecast informations of TKI treatment can be obtained by gene detection in elderly NSCLC patients.

An improving method, named direction-coding, is presented in this paper for plotting isodose curves in brachytherapy treatment planning. It is not necessary to find solutions of the intersection point of two lines and distance between two points. All possible curves can be searched with the simplified algorithm. The method is well applied in brachytherapy treatment planning.

ObjectiveTo investigate the developmental status and their relationship of self-supporting personality and career maturity of medical students.Methods450 medical students were surveyed by self-supporting personality scale and career maturity questionnaire.Descriptive statistical analysis,t-test,correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to do data analysis.Results ( 1 ) Most dimensions of self-supporting personality such as personal initiative,interpersonal initiative,interpersonal flexibility and personal responsibility were positively related to the career maturity ( r=0.53,P＜0.01 ; r=0.49,P＜0.01; r=0.46,P＜0.01 ; r=0.45,P＜ 0.01 ).(2)Career maturity of medical students can be positively predicted by several dimensions of self-supporting personality ( R2 =0.49,F=60.10,P＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionThe career maturity of medical students is closely associated with their self-supporting personality.

Objective To investigate the effects of early rehabilitation therapy in mechanically ventilated ICU in patients.Methods A randomized controlled trial was carried out.Sixty mechanically ventilated patients,with tracheal intubation or tracheostomy more than 48 h and less than 72 h,were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College Qingdao University from May 2010 to May 2012.These patients were randomly (random number) divided into two groups,the rehabilitation group and the control group,30 patients in each group.In rehabilitation group,rehabilitation therapy was taken twice daily,and the training time and intensity was adjusted according to the condition of the patients.Early rehabilitation therapy included head up actively,transfer from the supine to sit,out of bed,transfer to a chair,standing bedside bed and walking bedside bed.The patient' s body mass index,days to first out of bed,duration of mechanical ventilation,ICU stay,APACHE Ⅱ score,highest FiO2,lowest PaO2/FiO2 and hospital mortality of patients were compared between rehabilitation group and control group.The differences between the groups were compared using t test.Results There was no significant difference in body mass index,APACHE Ⅱ score,highest FiO2,lowest PaO2/FiO2 and hospital mortality between rehabilitation group and control group (P ＞ 0.05).Patients in the rehabilitation group had shorter first out of bed time [(3.8 ± 1.2) d vs.(14.9 ±4.7) d; P =0.00],duration of mechanical ventilation [(5.6±2.1) dvs.(12.7±4.1) d; P=0.005] andICUstay [(7.3±2.8) dvs.(15.2±4.5) d;P =0.01] compared with control group.Conclusions Early rehabilitation therapy was safe and effective in improving the outcomes of mechanical ventilation patient.
