In order to provide an experimental evidence for clinical utility, we undertook a series of experimental studies of glucocorticosteroid to treat closed head injury and gun shot brain wound, For studies of closed injury in rats, there were four groups as follows: Group 1: methyl prednisone 30mg/kg (MPG); Group 2: dexamethasone 5 mg/kg (HDMG): Group 3: dexamethasone0.5mg/kg (LDMG); and Group 4: normal saline as a control group (CG) For study of gun shot wound of brain, The dogs were divided into three groups, Grup 1 (wound group, n=8); Group 2 (treated group, n=7) and group 3 (control group, n=7). After injury, the vital signs were observed, the water content of the brain and Even' s blue level were measured and the brain were examined under optical and electronic microscopy, All results proved that secondary traumatic edema in the animals used high dose glucocotricosteroid were much more slight

The left ventricular bands of isolated human heart were studied by microscopy, echocardi ography and gross anatomical method. The results indicate that the structures of the bands were those commonly observed in human heart. They could be classified into two types: myo-bands and tendinous bands. However, we could only differentiate the “bands whose” diameter was more than 1.5mm with Aloka-SSD720 echocardiograph (made in Japan). we suggest that the resolution of the instrument we used was too low, and this might be the main reason that the detection of left ventricular bands was much lower than the incidence, we classified these bands according to the adhering points and diameters of bands.In this paper, the forming factors of bands and their clinical significance are also discussed.

The effect of high dos; dexamethasone(5mg/kg wt, intravenous injection)to prevent and treat the secondary pathological damage of craniocerebral injury was studied in animal models of craniocerebral injury caused by high-velocity missiles in dogs.We observed ths physiological changes, analyzed the value of serum and. cerebrospinal fluid lactate dehydrogenase, estimated the permeability of blood brain barrier (BBB) and studied brain pathology by light and electron microscopy.The results suggest high dose dexamethasone can help to restore ths structure and function of BBB, protect brain cells as well as lessai the secondary pathological damage in tha respiratory and circulatory systems and reduce th production of lipoptrox-ides(LPO).

Objective To evaluate the association between genetic polymorphisms in promoter regions of matrix metalloprotein‐ase‐1 (MMP‐1)‐1607bp1G/2G ,matrix metalloproteinase‐7 (MM P‐7)‐181‐bpA /G and susceptibility of cervical cancer using Meta‐analysis .Methods Relevant studies that had relationships of the polymorphism in promoter regions of matrix metalloproteinase‐1 (MM P‐1)‐1607bp1G/2G ,matrix metalloproteinase‐7 (MMP‐7)‐181‐bpA /G and susceptibility of cervical cancer were collected as case‐control groups .RevMan5 .0 software was applied to analyze the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals(CI) of the as‐sociation between polymorphisms and susceptibility of cervical cancer .Results Finally ,6 studies were selected ,containing 4 studies of MMP‐1 and 2 studies of MMP‐7 .For MMP‐1‐1607bp1G/2G ,OR was 0 .76 (95% CI = 0 .51 - 1 .13 ,P= 0 .17) under 1G/1G +1G/2G ∶ 2G/2G model ,OR was 0 .72 (95% CI = 0 .42 - 1 .23 ,P = 0 .42) under 1G/1G ∶ 2G/2G model ,OR was 0 .79(95% CI =0 .57 - 1 .09 ,P= 0 .15) under 1G ∶ 2G model ,it was concluded that there was no statistical significance between them .For MM P‐7‐181bpA /G ,OR was 0 .47 (95% CI = 0 .30 - 0 .74 ,P= 0 .001) under AA + AG ∶ GG model ,OR was 0 .43 (95% CI = 0 .26 - 0 .74 , P= 0 .002) under AA ∶ GG model ,OR was 0 .77(95% CI = 0 .62 - 0 .94 ,P= 0 .02) under A ∶ G model ,there were statistical signifi‐cance differences under all models .Conclusion Polymorphisms in promoter of MMP‐7‐118bpA/G are associated with the suscepti‐bility of cervical cancer and an allele is a protective factor .It is still not confirmed that significant association between the MM P‐1‐1607bp1G/2G and susceptibility to cervical cancer exists in current literature .

Observations on the developement of pathological changes of rat brain, together with dynamic detection of CN- concentrations in blood and brain tissue and quantitive analysis of brain cytochrome oxidase activity, are carried out within 24 h after acute cyanide intoxication (4.5mg/kg i.p.) . The results indicate that in the cyanide poisoning with the dose under lethality (80%LD) , the pathological changes in rat brain appear, especially in cytochrome oxidase poorly- contained areas, including! 1 ) degeneration and necrosis of neurons and gliocytes; 2) degeneration, swelling and lysis of different cell projection components; 3) the myelinoclasis of myelinated nerve fibers. Those changes undergo a dynamic course divided into three phases: 1 ) the phase of metabolic disturbance; 2) of response to injury; and 3) of restoration. The authors consider that the acute poisoning displayed by the animal after NACN injection is directly caused by the intense inhibation of brain cytochrome oxidase; the secondary lesions of brain structure may be responsible for the manifestations such as trembling, unstable, and ataxia etc.occur later. The mechanisms of the brain pathological changes after cyanide intoxication are also disscussed.

The changes of immunoreactive TRH (TRH-ir) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma before and after acute traumatic head injury were determined with radioimmunoassay (RIA) on a feline model of acute experimental head trauma. The results showed that the concentrations of TRH-ir in experimental animals pre- and 2, 4, and 6h post-injury were 119.48?51.77, 460.71 ?178.72, 377.27? 139.33, and 280.17?110.46pmol/L in CSF, and 122.58?28.87,1158.89?163.18, 909.69?160.55, and 545.38?132.80pmol/L in plasma, respectively, while those in control animals measured at the corresponding time were 112.22?53.42, 105.36?49.64, 100.63?52.89, and 104.52?52.42pmol/L in CSF, and 113.57 ?25.79, 107.32?26.60, 119.84?31.53, and 117.21?28.95pmol/L in plasma, respectively. The contents of TRH-ir in CSF and plasma in the experimental group after traumatic head injury were significantly higher than those, in the control group (P

The effects of high frequency jet ventilation(HFJV) on brain resuscitation had been investigated in 28 cats in which simple brain functional failure was produced by occlusion of both carotid and both vertebral arteries. The results suggested that HFJV could improve endurance of cats when subjected to brain ischemia, raise the survival rate of cats with reversible brain functional failure, and prolong the survival time of cats with permernent brain functional failure. The mechanisms of how HFJ would exert beneficial effect on brain resuscitation was discussed.

The planned digital textbook Human Parasitology, the first of its kind, published by People's Medical Publishing House is an important medical education effort that features the inte-gration of digital resources. This paper introduces the digital textbook construction goal, namely using paper-based textbook for five-year undergraduates as blueprint to reasonably display the digital re-sources based on the features of the discipline. The advantages of this digital approach over traditional paper-based textbook in demonstrating parasitic morphology, lifecycle, pathogenesis, diagnosis, epi-demiology and control are discussed. Valuable experiences in planning and constructing this digital textbook are to be shared.

Through expounding the connotation of clinical physicians'humanistic medicine practice ability,this paper pointed out that building the evaluation index system should abide by the four principles of systematicness,scientificity,guidance and feasibility.Constructing the evaluation index system of clinical physicians' humanistic medicine practice ability included 4 first-level indicators,13 second-level indicators and 47 third-level indicators,which is beneficial to promoting the physicians' humanistic medicine practice ability and is conducive to improve the human resource evaluation and management of hospitals.
