Radiation nephropathy refers to the damage of renal parenchyma and blood vessel caused by sufficient exposure to ionizing radiation.The clinical presentation includes proteinuria,hematuria,anemia,hypertension,and azotemia.Histological features include capillary loop thickening,mesangiolysis,formation of the double contours,subendothelial swelling,tubular atrophy,and tubulointerstitial fibrosis.Similar changes are seen in a variety of experimental animal models.The pathogenesis of radiation nephropathy remained unclear.It is reported that radiation-induced changes in kidney cell phenotype,renin angiotensin system(RAS) and oxidative stress is clearly involved.Multiple experimental studies have shown that antagonism of the RAS is beneficial,even when not initiated until weeks after irradiation.Recent findings suggest a similar benefit in clinical radiation nephropathy.

Medical imperfection is the major reason for medical bother.How to avoid medical imperfection and guarantee medical security are the key issues of medical administrators.By investigating,integrating and analyzing the causation of the medical imperfection and the ways of prevention,we conclude that human context has an important effect.

LncRNAs( long noncoding RNAs ) can be defined as RNA transcrips longer than 200nt without protein coding capacity , which play vital roles in various aspects of gene expression regulation.Recent investigations showed aberrant expression of many lncRNAs in primary liver cancer , indicating their important roles in tumorigenesis and development of liver cancer.This review focuses on the biological functions of lncRNAs and their involvements in primary liver cancer.

Objective: To explore assessment value of heart rate variability (HRV) of Holter for cardiac autonomic nervous function in patients with acute stroke.Methods: A total of 80 cases with acute stroke treated in our hospital were regarded as stroke group, and another 80 inpatients without cardio-and cerebrovascular diseases were enrolled as control group simultaneously.Holter was used to perform 24h ambulatory heart rate monitoring on two groups, and the results were compared between two groups.Results: Compared with control group, there were significant reductions in standard deviation of normal to normal RR intervals calculated over the 24 h period [SDNN, (129.89±5.42) ms vs.(92.58±4.36) ms], standard deviation of normal to normal RR intervals in all 5 min segments of the entire recording [SDANN, (118.85±5.79) ms vs.(77.36±4.82) ms], root-mean square of differences between successive normal to normal intervals [rMSSD, (27.04±1.18) ms vs.(7.31±1.09) ms] and adjacent normal RR interval difference >50ms stroke accounted for a percentage of 24h total RR interval [PNN50, (8.97±1.48)% vs.(2.62±0.54)%] in stroke group, P<0.01 all;in stroke patients, there were no significant difference in above indexes between cerebral infarction patients and cerebral hemorrhage patients, P>0.05 all.Conclusion: HRV indexes possess significant assessment value for cardiac autonomic nervous function in patients with acute stroke.They can predict patient′s status changes, and help to prevent and identify severe cerebrovascular disease in time.

Medical defects are the main reason for medical disputes,also the important factors which influence the health care order and medical service quality and cause tension between doctors and patients. The occurrence of medical defects highlights deficiency of humanism. We should reinforce liberal education in the medical services and medical education,prevent the occurrence of medical defects fundamentally,and improve the quality of medical services comprehensively.

Dermoid cysts occur in the maxillary sinus mucosa were rare. Patient's CT showed: maxillary sinuses Sinus cavity expansion, sinus wall thinning. The inside of the sinus wall disappeared, the maxillary sinus filled with soft tissue mass shadow. Bacterial culture: Staphylococcus aureus. Pathological report: a very small a mount of scattered broken squamous epithelium and keratosis, no atypia cells. Lesions consistent with epidermoid cyst. Patients with epidermoid cysts, formated probably in the process of embryonic development, the reasons of rapid growth may be considered for inflammatory stimulation.

The small-for-size syndrome (SFSS) is widely recognized as one of the most serious clinical complications. It substantially contributes to a poor prognosis after adult living donor liver transplantation. Currently, there is still no consensus on the exact definition and pathogenesis of SFSS. We reviewed the progress on research of pathogenesis of SFSS and put forward some relevant preventive and treatment measures, including donor selection, graft assessment, reduction of high portal vein perfusion, dual grafts technology, advanced molecular medicine and other innovative approaches. Also, we offered some relevant insights into the future research directions of SFSS.

Diphyllobothrium latum infection in human is not common in China and only 15 cases have been reported since 1927. We document a case of Diphyllobothrium latum infection caused by the ingestion of raw fish in a 23-year-old woman in Dalian (Liaoning Province), and diphyllobothriasis latum in China is briefly reviewed. The patient experienced abdominal discomfort for about 6 months with a history of discharging proglottids in the feces. The morphologic characteristic of the gravid proglottids and eggs were identified as that of Diphyllobothrium latum. The patient was treated with pumpkin seed powder (100g) and betel nut(100g) on an empty stomach. The majority of reported human cases occurred due to the ingestion of raw or uncooked fish, such as pikes, burbots, trouts, perch and salmons. The patient is the first case reported in Dalian (Lianning Province).

Humanistic quality is the basis of spirit maturity,the pursuit of medical spirit,the core of vocational morality and the fundamentality of walk.Enhancing humanistic quality is the foundation to understand medicine as well as engage in doctoral profession and the requirement to face society and achieve their own values for the students.

Objective To explore the effects of interleukin1?(IL-1?) and matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) in middle ear cholesteatoma and to explore the correlation between their expression and the ability of destruction of cholesteatoma.Methods IL-1? and MMP-9 were determined immunohistochemically in the specimens from 21 cases cholesteatomas and 10 external ear skin of patients with cholesteatoma.Results The positive expression of IL-1? and MMP-9 in cholesteatoma epithelialium were increased greatly than that in external epidermis(P
