Objective To investigate the effects of isehemic postconditioning (IPO) on the acute renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in dogs. Methods Fifteen adult male mongrel dogs were randomly divided into three groups with 5 animals in each group. In sham operation group (S), after the dogs were anesthetized, the midline laparotomy was made and right nephrectomy was performed;In I/R group, animals were subjected to the similar surgical procedures, except that the left renal vessels were clamped; In IPO group, the IPO was induced by 6 cycles of reperfusion (30 s) and ischemia (30 s) after 60 min renal ischemia before reperfusion completely. Blood samples were obtained for determination of blood creatinine (Cr) and urea nitrogen (BUN) concentrations before operation and at 24, 48 and 72 h after operation. The dogs were killed at the thirdday after operation and left kidneys were removed for determination of SOD activity and MDA and MPO concentrations.The apoptosis in the nephridial tissue was assessed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and apoptotic index (AI) was calculated. The changes of renal tissue were examined by a microscope. Results Blood Cr and BUN concentrations in I/R group, IPO group and S group were decreased in turn after operation (P<0. 05). MDA and MPO concentrations were decreased significantly, SOD activity was significantly increased and AI was decreased significantly in IPO group as compared with I/R group at 72 h after operation (P<0. 05). Microscopic examination showed that there was no renal injury in S group and renal I/R resulted in tubular necrosis, medullary hemorrhage congestion and proteinaceous casts in I/R group. The renal I/R injury was significantly attenuated by IPO. In S group, IPO group and I/R group the renal AI was 2. 7 ±1.3, 28. 4 ± 6. 2 and 15.4±4. 1 respectively (P<0. 05). Conclusion IPO can attenuate renal damage induced by I/R by inhibiting oxidative stress and apoptosis and decreasing inflammation.

Objective To investigate the expression of c-Myc in gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and its implications on prognosis.Methods The clinical data of 79 patients hospitalized in our hospital from 2009 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.In these patients,38 patients were low-grade MALT lymphoma,20 patients were high-grade MALT lymphoma,21 patients were diffused large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Real-time PCR was used to detect the levels of c-Myc expression in gastric MALT tissues and pair-matched adjacent normal tissues.The relationship between the expression of c-Myc and prognosis of patients was evaluated combing with the clinical data.Results Compared with the normal tissues,the expression levels of c-Myc protein were 15.7% (6/38),25% (5/20) and 28.5% (6/21)in patients with low-grade MALT lymphoma,high-grade MALT lymphoma,and DLBCL.The relative expression levels of cMyc mRNA were gradually elevated in low-grade MALT lymphoma,high-grade MALT lymphoma and DLBCL.The tumor size and depth of invasion can influence the expression level of c-Myc.Survival analysis found that the overall survival rates and relapse-free survival rates were lower in patients with c-Myc positive expression than those of patients with negative expression (P < 0.05).Conclusion C-Myc plays a key role in the malignant transformation of gastric MALT lymphoma.

The aim of the present research was to investigate and analyze the hunting intentions of medical students for rural grassroots in Gansu and to provide a reference for decision-making on rural health human resource . A questionnaire is the research tool which was used to investigate the views of the senior students from six medical schools , and we studied their employment willingness to rural healthcare institutions .Chi-square test and non-condi-tional logistic regression analyses were used for data analysis .A sample of 600 medical graduates was involved in this investigation.The results of this study show that more than a half (55.6%) of the students would like to work in ru-ral, but only 13.8%of which were “very willing” to work at the rural healthcare institutions .According to the out-comes of this investigation , the number of junior college students who would like to work at the grassroots was 2.3 times the number of the undergraduate students .Medical students whose monthly salary expectations were not high ,with the household registration in rural areas , and having a better understanding of the policy of rural grass-roots em-ployment were more likely to work at the rural healthcare institutions .Based on the findings of this investigation , it can be concluded that the grassroots medical career intention of medical students is not only influenced by its own fac -tors, such as education and household registration , but also the policy of the government , school employment guid-ance and social atmosphere play an important role .The above-mentioned factors should be considered by decision-making and management departments of public healthcare .The departments should introduce a reasonable recruit-ment policy and strengthen the construction of grass-roots medical technology , equipment , and infrastructure , im-prove the grass-roots of employment environment and career development opportunities and strengthen the medical students'employment guidance work to make medical students more willing to work at rural healthcare institutions .

Objective To summarize the multi slice spiral computed tomography(MSCT)features of bronchiolar adenoma(BA).Methods The imaging data of 9 cases of BA confirmed by surgery and pathology were analyzed retrospectively,and relevant literature was also reviewed.Results Among the 9 cases of BA,there were 8 cases with peripheral BA(away from the pleura≤5 mm)inclu-ding 4 cases close to the pleura and 1 case in central area.BA were located in the superior lobe of the right lung in 3 cases,the middle lobe of the right lung in 2,the inferior lobe of the right lung in 2,and the inferior lobe of the left lung in 2.Five cases were solid nod-ules,2 were ground-glass nodules and other 2 were cystic cavity nodules.In 2 cases of the solid nodules,the boundary on the non-venous side was blurred.In the 1 case of the ground-glass nodule,linear and reticular shadows were observed in the lesion,accompanied by a blurred boundary.2 nodules had mild pleura indentation,and other 7 nodules were found blood vessels entering into or adhering to the lesion,3 of which were accompanied by vascular thickening.In 8 cases with 2-48 month followed up,1 cystic cavity nodule was accompa-nied by obstructive pneumonia and then inflammatory absorption,1 solid nodule enlarged accompanied by the appearance of vacuoles,and the rest 6 had no changes.One central type nodule was operated after the CT examination.Conclusion BA are mainly manifes-ted as peripheral nodules of the lung,mostly close to the pleura and away from the pleura≤5 mm.Most BA are solid nodules,and sometimes are ground-glass or cystic cavity nodules.Some nodules show blurred boundaries or inflammation on the non-venous side,and few nodules increase during follow-up,with or without small vacuoles.
