1.Training doctors specifically for the suburban and rural areas
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 1996;0(10):-
The cultivation of medical and health personnel in the rural areas is currently confronted with severe challenges: very few graduating students go and work in the poverty-stricken or mountainous areas and there is a shortage of rural medical and health personnel. An effective mechanism for solving the problem in a short time has been the establishment of medical and health personnel training centers that recruit students specifically from the mountainous and poverty-stricken areas and assign them back there upon graduation. It has promoted the development of unique curriculums designed specifically for the training of personnel specializing in clinical medicine from rural grassroots. The establishment of long-term mechanisms that ensure the support of the development of the rural medical and health cause by urban medical and health human resources strongly guarantees the development of rural in-service education and non-academic training.

p53 Gene and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) are both related closely to the ra-diotherapy of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). The life span of NSCLC patients with both p53 and PCNA positive is shorter than that of NSCLC patients with both p53 and PCNA negative. Studying the expression of p53 and PCNA in NSCLC, and their relationship with the radiosensitivity and prognosis of NSCLC can play a positive role in individualized treatment and increasing curative effect.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect of curcumin on Aβ1-42 damaged cells. METHODS SH-SY5Y cells were cultured with Aβ1-4210μmol · L-1 in the absence or presence of curcumin 1, 5 or 10 μmol · L-1. Cell viability was assayed by MTT. Cell membrane damage was detected by the concentration of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in culture medium. Cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry with Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI staining. Mitochondrial membrane potential was characterized by fluorescence of JC-1 dye. Enzymatic activity of caspases-9 and-3 was measured by colorimetric assay. Protein expression of caspase-3 was detected by Western blotting. RESULTS Compared with vehicle control, the cell viability, concentration of LDH and both early and late apoptosis in Aβ1-4210 μmol · L-1 damaged group were decreased(P<0.01). However, the cell viability, release of LDH and both early and late apoptosis in curcumin group were promoted compared with that in Aβ1-4210μmol·L-1 damaged group. Curcumin inhibited Aβ1-42-induced depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential(P<0.01), and attenuated Aβ1-42-induced activation of both caspases9 and caspases3 in a concentration-dependent manner, respectively(r=0.990, P<0.01; r=0.996, P<0.01). There were no significant differences in the above detected indexes between curcumin 10 μmol · L-1 group and vehicle control group. CONCLUSION Curcumin inhibits Aβ1-42-induced cell damage and apoptosis by promoting mitochondrial membrane potential and depressing the activation of caspases.

Objective To measure serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25HVD) in patients with chronic urticaria (CU),and to explore its role in the occurrence of CU.Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 50 patients with CU and 40 healthy controls.The urticaria activity score (UAS) was used to assess the severity of CU and to group the patients with CU.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to measure the serum levels of 25HVD,interferon-γ (IFN-γ),interleukin-4 (IL-4) and immunoglobulin E (IgE).Statistical analysis was carried out by t test,rank sum test and linear correlation analysis.Results The serum level of 25HVD was significantly lower in the patients with CU than in the healthy controls (15.20 ± 7.72 vs.21.54 ± 8.31 μg/L,t =3.75,P < 0.05).Moreover,there was a significant difference in the distribution of serum 25HVD levels between the patients and healthy controls (H =17.9,P < 0.05).However,no significant difference was observed in the serum level of 25HVD between severe and mild CU groups (15.57 ± 7.38 vs.14.86 ± 6.28 μg/L,t =0.37,P > 0.05).Compared with the control group,the patient group showed significantly decreased serum levels of IFN-γ (t =15.34,P < 0.05),but increased serum levels of IL-4 and IgE (t =6.54,4.88,respectively,both P < 0.05).Among the patients with CU,the serum level of 25HVD was positively correlated with that of IFN-γ(r =0.738,P < 0.05),but negatively correlated with that of IL-4 (r =-0.689,P < 0.05),and uncorrelated with that of IgE (r =-0.271,P > 0.05).Conclusion The serum level of 25HVD evidently decreased in patients with CU,and it may participate in the occurrence of CU by mediating the Th 1/Th2 imbalance.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of activated hepatic stellate cells (aHSC) promote the angiogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).MethodsaHSCs were collected after being cultured for 1, 3, 5, 7 d respectively . The relative expression of aHSC angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The expression of aHSC Ang-1 protein was observed by immunolfuorescence staining. The impact of aHSC on the proliferation of hepatic vascular endothelial cells (HVEC) was observed by Transwell chamber. The impact of aHSC on HVEC tube formation was observed by tube formation assay. The experimental data were compared using one-way analysis of variance and LSD-t test.ResultsAfter aHSC were cultured for 1, 3, 5, 7 d, the relative expression of aHSC Ang-1 mRNA was respectively 1.000±0.024, 1.920±0.080, 6.230±0.320 and 7.820±0.380, which gradually increased as the culture time went on (LSD-t=7.32, 13.68, 8.34;P<0.05). The immunolfuorescence staining showed that Ang-1 and smooth muscle actin antibody (aSMA) were co-expressed in the aHSC. Transwell chamber indirect co-culture showed that aHSC could promote the proliferation of HVEC, and the effect weakened after Ang-1 antibody was added. Tube formation assay showed that HVEC could polymerize and gradually developed tubular structure in the aHSC conditioned medium, and the effect signiifcantly weakened after Ang-1 antibody was added. ConclusionaHSC may promote the proliferation and angiogenesis of HVEC in HCC by secreting Ang-1.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate(PDTC)on neuroinflammatory injury in the penumbra of traumatic brain injury(TBI)in rats.Methods Sixty Sprague Dawley rats were divided into the PDTC group,TBI group,sham operation group and control group according to the random number table method,with 15 rats in each group.Rats in the PDTC group were intraperitoneally injected with PDTC(100 mg·kg-1)at 15 minutes before surgery;while the rats in the TBI group,sham operation group,and control group were intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of double distilled water.After the cranial window of rats in the TBI group and PDTC group was created,a 2.5 g steel rod with an inner diameter of 6.0 mm was dropped freely from a height of 75 cm through a transparent polyvinyl chloride tube with an inner diameter of 7.0 mm to impact the dura mater and induce right parietal lobe contusion and laceration to establish the TBI model;rats in the sham operation group were sealed with bone wax after the cranial window creation,without any impact applied;rats in the control group were raised under normal conditions.The modified neurological severity score(mNSS)was used to evaluate the degree of neurobehavioral damage in rats in each group at 1,4 and 7 days after modeling.At 2 days after modeling,5 rats in each group were decapitated,and brain tissues were taken for hematoxylin & eosin(HE)staining,and morphological changes of the brain tissues were observed under an optical microscope.The expressions of β-amyloid precursor protein(β-APP)and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)in the brain tissues of rats in each group were detected by immunohistochemical staining.At 24 hours after modeling,5 rats in each group were

in the control group and sham operation group(P<0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in mNSS scores between the sham operation group and the control group(P>0.05).The neurons and neurogliocyte of rats in the control group and the sham operation group exhibited normal morphology,without swelling and wide-ning of intercellular space.Diffuse hemorrhagic changes were observed in the brain tissues of rats in the TBI group,with different morphologies of neuronal cell body,unclear cell membrane and cytoplasm,pyknosis of cell nuclei,often triangular shape,disappearance of normal structure and nucleoli,and diffuse white blood cells and red blood cells filling the field of vision.The lesion surrounding area of rats in the PDTC group showed ischemic changes,with mild shrinkage of neuronal volume,a uniform light red color,karyopyknosis,nuclear-cytoplasmic dissociation,disappearance of normal structure and nucleoli,and localization of neuroinflammation.There was no significant expression of β-APP and GFAP in the cerebral cortex of rats in the control group and the sham operation group,while the accumulation of β-APP and GFAP in neuronal serosae and/or axons was observed in the brain tissues of rats in the TBI group and the PDTC group.Compared with the TBI group,a decrease in the number and the expression intensity of β-APP and GFAP-positive stained neuronal

control group,the relative expression of NLRP3 protein in the brain tissues of rats in the TBI group and the PDTC group was significantly lower than that in the sham operation group and the control group,and the relative expression of NLRP3 protein in the brain tissues of rats in the TBI group was significantly lower than that in the PDTC group(P<0.05).The relative expression of caspase-1 protein in the brain tissues of rats in the sham opera-tion group,PDTC group,and TBI group was significantly higher than that in the control group,and the relative expression of caspase-1 protein in the brain tissues of rats in the PDTC group was significantly lower than that in the TBI group(P<0.05).The relative expression of NF-κB P65 mRNA in the brain tissues of rats in the PDTC group,TBI group,and sham operation group was significantly higher than that in the control group,the relative expression of NF-κB P65 mRNA in the brain tissues of rats in the PDTC group and TBI group was

in the brain tissues of rats in the sham operation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The relative expression of IκB mRNA in the brain tis-sues of rats in the PDTC group and TBI group was significantly higher than that in the sham operation group,and the relative expression of IκB mRNA in the brain tissues of rats in the PDTC group was significantly lower than
