The influence of L-arginine on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) was observed in experimental pulmonary thromboembolism and the action mechanism on pulmonary thromboembolism was explored. Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group, model group and treatment group. Pulmonary thromboembolism models were established by auto-blood back transfusion, and L-Arg 100 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected after successful model preparation. The animals were sacrificed at 3 h, 1 day, 3 days and 7 days after embolism. Plasma NO, TXB2 and 6-Keto-PGFla were detected. The expression of eNOS and COX2 protein and mRNA in pulmonary tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR respectively. The results showed that pulmonary thrombosis could be seen post pulmonary embolism and inflammatory reaction was significant. Plasma NO was decreased (P<0.01), and the levels of TXB2, 6-Keto-PGF1alpha and T/P ratio were all elevated. The expression of eNOS protein and mRNA in the pulmonary tissue was down-regulated (P<0.05), while that of COX2 protein and mRNA was upregulated (P<0.01). In treatment group, the level of NO was increased, the levels of TXB2 and T/P ratio were decreased, but the level of 6-Keto-PGF1alpha was increased. The expression of eNOS protein and mRNA in pulmonary tissue was upregulated (P<0.05), while that of COX2 protein and mRNA was down-regulated (P<0.05). In conclusion, L-arginine can educe the role of pulmonary tissue protection through up-regulating the expression of intra-pulmonary NOS and down -regulating COX2 in pulmonary thromboembolism.

Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract endometriosis.Methods Retrospective review of 10 female cases of urinary tract endometriosis was carried out. All cases age was from 28-49, and the average age was 39-year-old. The course of this disease was from 6 months to 3 years. Four of 10 cases were bladder endometriosis. The clinical presentations included the urgency, frequency, pain at micturition and lower abdomen pain during menstruation, gross hematuria coinciding with menstruation 1 case. B-ultrasound and CT showed the mass of bladder from 2. 0 -3.5 cm but were not specific. Four of 6 cases ureteral endometriosis were the left side and 2 cases were the right side. This clinical presentation included non-specific flank or abdomenal discomfort in 4 cases, intermittent gross hematuria in 1 case and 1 case renal hydronephrosis was found incidentally by B-ultrasound. B-ultrasound indicated unilateral upper urinary tract dilation and hydrops in all cases,with pyelic separation from 2.0-4.5 cm and ureteral separation from 1-2 cm. CT indicated stenosis of the lower ureter in 5 cases, ureter tumor in 1 case. Results All cases were treated surgically.Partial cystectomy were performed in 4 cases of bladder endometriosis, of which, 1 case bilateral oophorectomy and hysterectomy. Five cases were performed ureteral segmental resection, of which, 3 ureterocystostomy and 2 terminoterminal anastomosis. 1 case was performed radical nephrectomy and ureterectomy. Postoperative pathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of endometriosis. Postoperative oral hormone therapy was given to 9 cases for 6-12 months. All cases were followed for 12-60months. 2 cases ureteral endometriosis had recurrent hydronephrosis in 18-24 months. The 2 cases received ureteral stent and cured by oral hormone therapy or goserelin subcutaneous injection for 3 months. Conclusions Urinary tract endometriosis usually shows non-specific symptoms. The diagnosis can be missed on both clinical examination and preoperative work-up. Surgical treatment is effective and adjuvant hormone therapy is often recommended to prevent the recurrence.

The traditional discipline-centered curriculum design can neither keep up with developments of modern medical science nor reach requirements of the education reform in the new century.Since 2011,College of Stomatology in School of Medicine in Shanghai Jiao Tong University had developed ‘ disease oriented integrated curriculum system reform’ for students of long-term stomatology education.In view of the problems existing in the original curriculum system,the integrated curriculum system was set up by coalescing clinical medicine curriculum according to the related systems and oral medicine curriculum according to the developmental rules of diseases.Lectures were combined with discussion classes in the reform and performance appraisal system was changed from simplex judgments into comprehensive evaluations.At last,further considerations of promoting the reform based on the practice were proposed.

Objective To discuss the cause,treatment and prevention of splenic injury during the urological surgery.Methods The clinical data of 16 cases with splenic injury in operation for renal and adrenal tumors in 496 cases were retrospectively analyzed.Nine cases were left radical nephrectomy,3 cases were left renal hamartoma enucleation,4 cases were left adrenal tumor resection.Damage located at outer edge of the spleen in 8 cases,the splenorenal ligament in 6 cases,and the splenic hilum in 2 cases.In these 16 cases,14 patients spared the spleen (Ⅰ Grade injury 8 cases,Ⅱ grade 6 cases).The injuryed spleen was directly pressed with hemostatic gauze in 3 cases; 5 patients used coagulation,bonding,hemostatic gauze to stop bleeding; 2 cases of grade Ⅱ injury used U-shaped suture and coated with fibrin glue,then compressed with hemostatic gauze to stop bleeding; 2 cases of grade Ⅱ injuries with the greater omentum stitched into the seam,sprayed biological glue,were compressed with gelatin sponge; 2 cases of grade Ⅱ injury underwent splenic artery branch ligation.The other 2 cases (1 Ⅱ grade and 1 Ⅲ grade) underwent splenectomy.Results All of the 16 patients were cured and followed up for 6 months to 5 years.There was no delayed bleeding of spleen and splenic dysfunction.One patient died of tumor recurrence 6 months after operation.Conclusions Splenic injury is a common complication during urological surgery,especially the tumor is large or adhered to spleen in the upper pole of left kidney.Once spenic injury occurs,doctors should choose the right treatment plan according to surgical injury,and try to save the spleen.

Objective:To analyse the methord and effects of intermaxillary traction(IMT)screws used in the treatment of jaw frac-ture.Methods:In the treatment of 1 68 cases of jaw fracture IMT screws were used for the restoration of normal and stable occlusion. The screw number,position,traction effect and postoperative complications of the treatment were analysed.Results:705 screws were used in 168 patients,4 screws were used in each of 147 cased (88%),6 in 12(7%),5 in 9(5%).336(47.7%)screws were fixed between the roots of first and second premolar,292(41 .4%)between the roots of canine and first premolar,50 (7.1%)be-tween the roots of second premolar and first molar,27(3.8%)between the other tooth roots.Normal postoperative occlusion relation was achived by the use of screws in 92 cases without traction.Occlusion disharmony or deviation was found in 76 cases by the used of screws and was restored to normlal by 1 4-day traction in 71 cases.The total efficiency of the treatment was 97%.Pain of the mucosa surrounding the screws was observed in 23 cases (1 3.7%).Root damage,traction screw loosening and adjacent tooth dislocation were observed in 1 3(1 .8%),1 1 (1 .6%)and 2(0.3%)cases respectively.Conclusion:For the fixation of IMT screws,the posi-tions between tooth root from canine to first molar were most common and safe.The fixation point should be in 5 ~8mm below the gin-gival margin.Use of 4-6 screws can meet treatment need.

BACKGROUND:Mycobacterium tuberculosis heat shock protein 10 (r-Mt cpn10) is one of the main factors that cause bone tuberculosis dissolution and absorption as wel as inhibits the proliferation of osteoblasts. Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand and osteoprotegerin are the important factors influencing bone metabolism.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of r-Mt cpn10 on human osteoblast proliferation, alkaline phosphatase secretion, expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand mRNA and osteoprotegerin mRNA. METHODS:Human bone marrow stromal cel s were induced to differentiate into osteoblasts, and osteoblasts at passage 3 were cultured with various concentrations of r-Mt cpn10 (0.1, 1, 10 mg/L). Osteoblasts cultured without r-Mt CPN10 were assigned as controls.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:MTT assay results showed that, compared with control group, r-Mt cpn10 at different concentrations inhibited osteoblast proliferation and alkaline phosphatase secretion (P<0.05). RT-PCR analysis showed that, r-Mt cpn10 at different concentrations increased receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand mRNA expression (P<0.01), and inhibited osteoprotegerin mRNA expression in a concentration-dependent manner (P<0.01). 10 mg/L r-Mt cpn10 exhibited the strongest effect (P<0.01). The r-Mt cpn10 can inhibit osteoblast proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity, and it may influence bone metabolism by regulating the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand mRNA and osteoprotegerin mRNA.

Objective To evaluate the mental health of medical workers, and develop an EAP suitable for heahhcare sector. Methods A 1-year EAP was implemented in a hospital in Beijing, in which SF-36 and JSS scales were used to study the health-related quality of life and job satisfaction of these workers. Results Work pressure is found to be the main source of pressure for medical workers, accounting for 63.7%. Scores of the group receiving EAP service are found to be significantly higher (P<0.01) in all dimensions (excepting work nature and supervisor dimension) of both SF-36 and JSS. Conclusions Medical workers are exposed to high pressure of work, having strong need for EAP service as result. EAP is an effective means to maintain mental health and improve quality of life and job performance, if applied widely.

Objective To investigate the in vivo effect of silenced actin-associated protein Transgelin on the growth of human pancreatic carcinoma xenograft in nude mice.Methods Human pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC3 were transfected with small hairpin RNA (shRNA) eukaryotic expression vector targeting Transgelin gene.RT-PCR and Western blot were used to analyze Transgelin expression after transfection.24 animal models were randomly divided into three groups with 8 in each:Experimental group (transplanted BxPC3/Transgelin shRNA),negative control group (transplanted BxPC3/Neo) and untreated group (transplanted BxPC3).Tumor size was measured weekly.All mice were sacrificed after 28 days.Tumor volume was calculated,inhibitory effect was analyzed.Immunohistochemical staining of paraffin sections for Transgelin and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) proteins were performed.Results Tumors varied in sizes among 3 groups (all P ＜ 0.05).On day 21 and 28 tumor was significantly smaller in experimental group than those in control groups.Tumor weighed(0.74 ±0.21) g in experimental group,lower than that in negative control group(1.42 ± 0.28) g and untreated group(1.59 ± 0.24) g (all P ＜ 0.05).The inhibitory effect was 53.5％ in experimental group.The PCNA index was significantly lower in experimental group than those in control groups (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Deletion of Transgelin gene can significantly inhibit the proliferation and tumor growth of BxPC3 cells in nude mice.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of castration with 125I brachtherapy in middle and late stage prostate cancer. Methods Sixty-six patients with prostate cancer from 2004 to 2009 were analyzed, 40 were at clinical stage C and 26 were at clinical stage D, 42 had a pathologic grade G2 and 24 had a pathologic grade G3. The first endocrinal therapy used was total androgen blockade (chemical castration and anti-androgen drugs). The therapeutic time was three months before bilateral orchidectomy and brachtherapy. A 3D radiotherapy planning system was used for brachtherapy with transrectal ultrasound-guided radioactive 125I seed uniform implantation. Follow-up endocrinal therapy was decided according to a monthly check of serum PSA (prostate specific antigen) levels. After six months, serum PSA, IPSS and volume of the prostate before and after treatment were compared. Results The operations were completed successfully in all cases. The mean number of 125I seeds implanted was 55. The mean follow-up was 10 to 62 months, with an average of 49 months. Serum PSA, IPSS and the volume of the prostate was reduced significantly six months after operation (P<0.05). Conclusions Castration with 125I brachtherapy is an effective approach in combination therapy for treating middle and late stage prostate cancer.
