Background:Chronic atrophic gastritis( CAG)is a common type of gastritis and is closely related to the pathogenesis of gastric carcinoma,however,the efficacy of its drug treatment is not clear. Aims:To study the therapeutic effect of capsaicin on CAG in rats. Methods:CAG rat model was established by intragastric administration of sodium deoxycholate, ethanol and ammonium hydroxide. Forty-four survival model rats were randomly divided into CAG model group and low, moderate,high dose capsaicin groups,rats in the latter 3 groups were intragastrically administrated with 1 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 , 10 mg·kg-1 · d-1 ,30 mg · kg-1 · d-1 capsaicin,respectively,for 28 days. The inflammation and degree of atrophy of gastric mucosa were observed by HE staining. Gastric mucosal levels of pepsinogen( PG)Ⅰ,PGⅡ were determined by ELISA. The protein expressions of IKKβ,NF-κB,XIAP were determined by Western blotting. Results:The differences in inflammation and degree of atrophy of gastric mucosa,levels of PGⅠ,PGⅡ,protein expressions of IKKβ,NF-κB,XIAP were statistically significant among model group,low,moderate,high dose capsaicin groups( P <0. 05 ). With the increasing of capsaicin dose,inflammation and degree of atrophy of gastric mucosa were improved in a dose-dependent manner(P<0. 05),protein expressions of IKKβ,NF-κB,XIAP were decreased. Conclusions:Capsaicin is effective for the treatment of CAG.

There are still two outstanding problems in comprehensive quality assessment index system of clinical medical undergraduates:contents of assessment is incomprehensive and every index has no quantitative research based weight.This article elaborated on a complete index framework,covering required knowledge,abilities,attitude,morality of clinical medical undergraduates and proposed a set of methods and processes,including literature research method,system analysis method,brainstorming,expert interviews,Delphi method,and some statistical methods,providing a theoretical basis for the development of comprehensive quality assessment index system for clinical medical undergraduates.

Research in lymph node imaging has made great progress in recent years. With the increasing in-depth researches and clinical applications of MRI, PET and molecular imaging, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of detecting lymph node metastases have also been improved. Incorporating techniques such as various pulse sequences, contrast enhancement and lymph-node contrast agents has made MRI a superior method for detecting lymph node metastasis of breast cancer in clinical settings.

Identification of the cellular targets of bioactive compounds is a major challenge and a key issue in chemical biology and drug discovery. As an important technology in functional proteomics, small molecule probes play a pivotal role in the identification of cellular targets of bioactive compounds. This review is intended to introduce the application principles and structural design philosophy of chemical probes for the purpose of mechanistic study. Recent cases of successful application were also discussed to further demonstrate the principles and significance ofbioactive small molecule-based probes.

Four cases of abdominal vascular lesions were diagnosed with color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI). These cases include aneurysm of portal vein, splenic aneurysm intrahepatic pseudoaneurysm and carvenous trasformation of portal vein, Above cases were misdiagnosed by B-mode ultrasonogram, but well detected by CDFI. Therefore, we consider that CDFI combined with B-mode ultrasonography, is a noninvasive and accurate method for the diagnosis of abdominal vascular lesion and its differential diagnosis with abnormal, but non-vascular, duct or chamber structure.

Objective To examine the expression and the significance of mdr 1 mRNA in guinea pig cochlea lateral wall at different developmental stages.Methods Thirty white guinea pigs with red eye including three developmental stages were used in this study. The expression of mdr 1mRNA in the cochlear lateral wall was measured in situ hybridization and analyzed by the softeware of MPLAS-500.Results mdr 1mRNA was detected mainly in the endothelial cells.The expression intensity of mdr 1mRNA was different in guinea pig cochlea lateral wall at different developmental stages, mdr 1mRNA in 1～2 weeks group was significantly lower than that of 3-week-group and 4-week-group(P0.05).Conclusion mdr 1mRNA is found in the normal cochlea lateral wall cells. The expression intensity is different with the development of guinea pig cochlea lateral wall.

Colorectal cancer is a threat to human health, the disease rate of stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer is increasing. Some prognostic factors have been researched, and the number of harvested lymph nodes is a very important factor. Harvesting more lymph nodes will reduce the relapse rate and increase the survival rate. It remains controversial for the minimum number of lymph nodes, and UICC and AJCC recommended that the minimum number was 12. Some factors will influence the number of harvested lymph nodes,for ex-ample, the patient's situation, tumor itself, surgeon and pathologist's skills , and so on.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of recombinant human interferon α-2b gel onflooding prevention in loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) during and after the operation.Method The 152 patients with cervical disease were randomly divided into three groups: group A(recombinant human interferon α-2b gel treatment group), group B (hypophysin treatment group)and groupC(control group). Results The amount of intraoperative bleeding and the amount of post-operative bleedingof the group A was (2.57±1.19) ml and (2.24±1.75) ml, the group B was (3.00±1.49) ml and (45.86±26.14) hal, the group C was (45.62±39.57) ml and (56.90±41.90) ml, respectively. There was no differencebetween group A and group B in the amount of intraoperative bleeding (P>0.05), but significantly less thangroup C (P<0.01). There was no difference between group B and group C in the amount of post-operativebleeding (P>0.05), but significantly much more than group A (P<0.01). Conclusion Recombinanthuman interferon α-2b gel is effective on reducing intraoperative and post-operative bleeding in LEEP.
