BACKGROUND:When leucocytes were activated in the process of lung ischemia-reperfusion,various cell factors will be released,including tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF-?) and interleukin 1?(IL-1?),which lead to ischemia-reperfusion injury.Recent research demonstrates that transforming growth factor-?1 plays a protective role in ischemia-reperfusion injury after lung transplantation OBJECTIVE:To investigate the level changes of TNF-? and IL-1?after interfered with transforming growth factor-?1 after lung ischemic-reperfusion injury DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The randomized controlled experiment of animal was performed in the Cardiothoracic Surgery Laboratory of Changhai Hospital,Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from August to October 2007.MATERIALS:Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats with clean grade,were randomly divided into the sham operation,ischemia-reperfusion and transforming growth factor?1 groups,with 10 animal in each group.The transforming growth factor?1 was phuchased from Peprotech INC.METHODS:The left lung of rat in the ischemia-reperfusion and transforming growth factor?1 groups was prepared for to ischemia-reperfusion model by blocking pulmonary circulation with hilar vessels ligation for 60 minutes,followed by reperfusion for 2 hours.Animals in the sham operation group were crossed hilar with 10# silk thread.Heparin was administered intravenously through vena cervicalis at 15 minutes before ischemia in each group.Concurrently,10 ?g/kg transforming growth factor?1 was administered in transforming growth factor?1 group.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:After 2 hours of ischemia-reperfusion,the tissues of left lung were removed,histomorphological changes,wet-dry weight ratio,the index of histological lung injury and the content of TNF-?and IL-1?were determined by light microscope,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),respectively.RESULTS:A total of 30 animals were enrolled in the result analysis.There was no obvious pathological change of lung in the sham operation group.Visible tissue edema and neutrophil infiltration could be found in the ischemia-reperfusion group,while,there was mild tissue edema and little neutrophil infiltration in the transforming growth factor?1 group.The wet-dry weight ratio and index of histological lung injury in the ischemia-reperfusion group was obvious greater than that of the sham operation group(P

There are very close associations between spinal surgery teaching and medical imaging.Medical Imaging used in clinical medical teaching includes noumenal photograph,conceptual diagram,radiological imaging,operation photographic recording and computer-aided instruction courseware,etc.It is very important to collect the medical imaging through various means,set up medical imaging resources library for spinal surgery and use these resources in spinal surgery teaching.

To improve the quality of clinical teaching in burn surgery,79 students of Grade 2005 were randomly divided to problem-based learning(PBL)group and lecture-based learning(LBL) group.The teaching quality of two teaching methods were compared.The results showed that the average score,the score of teaching effectiveness appraisal targets in PBL group were sig-nificant higher than that in LBL group.This indicated that the teaching effectiveness of PBL was better than that of LBL,PBL should be applied in clinical teaching in burn surgery.

Objective The protective effect of hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion ( IR) injury via anti-apoptotic signaling is well established , but the underlying mechanism remains unclear .This study was to investigate whether H 2 S could protect cardiomyocytes from endoplasmic reticulum stress ( ERS)-mediated apoptosis in hypoxia/reoxygenation ( HR) injury by regulating the expression of microRNA-455 ( miR-455 ) . Methods Cardiomyocytes from neonatal SD rats were primarily cultured and the model of HR injury was established .The cardiomyocytes were divided into a control group (normally cultured for 27 hours), an HR group (subjected to HR injury), and an H2S protection group (pretreated with the precursor of H2S NaHS at 40 μmol/L at 30 min before HR treatment followed by the same procedure as in the HR group ) .The cell viability was monitored by MTT , the release of lactate de-hydrogenase ( LDH) in the culture supernatant measured by full-automatic chemical analysis , and the apoptosis rate of the cardiomyo-cytes detected by flow cytometry .The mRNA and protein expressions of Grp 78 and caspase-12 were determined by real-time RT-PCR and Western bot .To verify whether miR-455 was involved in the ERS-mediated apoptosis of the cardiomyocytes , the cells were subjec-ted to HR after transfected with miR-455 mimic or anti-miR-455 oligonucleotide (AMO) for 24 hours, followed by detection of the ex-pressions of Grp78 and caspase-12. Results After HR injury, the H2 S protection group showed an enhanced viability of the cardio-myocytes in comparison with the control group ([67.02 ±6.90] vs [29.27 ±5.66] %), an decreased LDH release ([91.33 ± 10.63] vs [168.17 ±15.38] U/L), and a reduced rate of cell apoptosis ([13.98 ±1.90] vs [24.31 ±2.79] %).H2 S pretreat-ment significantly downregulated the mRNA and protein expressions of Grp 78 and caspase-12 (1.66 ±0.39 vs 2.56 ±0.34;1.75 ± 0.32 vs 2.54 ±0.48;2.01 ±0.45 vs 3.26 ±0.34;1.85 ±0.52 vs 3.21 ±0.84, P<0.05).The mRNA and protein expressions of Grp78 and caspase-12 were evidently increased after transfection with miR-455 mimic (3.56 ±0.37 vs 1.00 ±0.00;3.61 ±0.41 vs 1.00 ±0.00;2.87 ±0.38 vs 1.00 ±0.00;2.98 ±0.49 vs 1.00 ±0.00), but remarkably decreased after transfection with miR-455 AMO (0.62 ±0.16 vs 1.00 ±0.00;0.65 ±0.13 vs 1.00 ±0.00;0.54 ±0.13 vs 1.00 ±0.00;0.62 ±0.16 vs 1.00 ±0.00, P<0.05). Conclusion H2S could protect cardiomyocytes from HR injury by regulating the expression of miR-455 and reducing ERS-mediated cell apoptosis .

Objective : To analyze and discuss the effect of 4 different surface treatment methods on the bonding effect between polymerization porcelain and metal bracket s. Methods: 45 polymer-ceramics specimens were made and 40 of them were selected and randomly divided into 5 groups according to different surface treatment methods. A group:surface without special treatment. B group: 9.6% hydrofluoric acid gel combine with bonding agent, C group: 9.6% hydrofluoric acid gel combine with silane, D group: 35％ phosphoric acid gel combine with bonding agent, E group: 35％ phosphoric acid gel combine with silane. All specimens were stored in water for 24 hours at 37 ℃ after bonding 10 min utes and then cycled 500 cycles (5 ℃ to 55 ℃). To measure the shear bonding strength and record the damage cases and the adhesive remnant index. Results : The shear strength values were: 3.24 in the control group, 7.24 MPa in the hydrofluoric acid etching treatment group. 10.78 MPa in the hydrofluoric acid gel combined with silane group. 4.17 MPa in the phosphoric acid-only group, 6.84 MPa in the phosphoric acid gel combined with silane group. The results of each group were statistically different from those of the other four groups (P < 0.001). The rate of breakage after the removal of brackets of the hydrofluoric acid gel combined with silane group is higher than the others. Conclusion As to the high shear bonding strength and low rate of breakage after the removal of brackets, we recommend 35% phosphoric acid etching combining with silane coupling agent in clinical.

The widespread application of next generation sequencing (NGS) in clinical settings has enabled testing, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of genetic diseases. However, many issues have arisen in the meanwhile. One of the most pressing issues is the lack of standards for reporting genetic test results across different service providers. The First Forum on Standards and Specifications for Clinical Genetic Testing was held to address the issue in Shenzhen, China, on October 28, 2017. Participants, including geneticists, clinicians, and representatives of genetic testing service providers, discussed problems of clinical genetic testing services across in China and shared opinions on principles, challenges, and standards for reporting clinical genetic test results. Here we summarize expert opinions presented at the seminar and report the consensus, which will serve as a basis for the development of standards and guidelines for reporting of clinical genetic testing results, in order to promote the standardization and regulation of genetic testing services in China.
