BACKGROUND:So far there is not an ideal animal model for clinical research of osteonecrosis of the femoral head, which hinders its development. OBJECTIVE:To compare the merits and characteristics of different methods and various animal models, and to provide a reference for selection of models of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. METHODS:Literature search was performed in databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Wanfang, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure, published from 2006 to 2014 by computers. The key words were“Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head, Animal model, Vivo Experiment, Legg Calve Perthes disease, Osteoarthritis, Col apse of the Femoral Head, Trauma, Corticosteroid, Alcohol, Liquid Nitrogen”in English and Chinese, respectively. Final y, 48 articles were included. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head models simulates the most common clinical type, which is more effective in Legg Calve Perthes disease. Glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head models is more suitable for etiology, pathology and comprehensive research. Physical osteonecrosis of the femoral head models could be used for evaluating treatment methods, such as surgery. The ideal animal models should be similar with human in anatomy, histology and biomechanics;pathology, pathophysiology, and radiographic progression of osteonecrosis of the femoral head can simulate the whole process of human osteonecrosis of the femoral head, and it is easy to be obtained, cost-effective and good repeatable.

Objective To investigate the effect of transarterial infusion ( TAI) chemotherapy on estrogen receptor ( ER) and progesterone receptors ( PR) expression in breast carcinoma tissue. Methods Samples of 81 patients with breast carcinoma were selected in this study. ER and PR mRNAs levels in the samples were determined by RT-PCR. Immunohistochemistry was employed to measure ER and PR expressions in different samples before and after TAI chemotherapy. Western blotting was used to assay ER and PR proteins level in the samples before and after the chemotherapy. Results RT-PCR results indicated that ER mRNA level was increased in 43 cases ( 53. 1% ) and PR level in 33 cases ( 40. 7% ) . Meanwhile,both ER and PR mRNAs levels were increased in 25 cases ( 30. 9% ) . Immunohistochemistry results showed that ER level was up-regulated in 35cases ( 43. 2% ) ,and PR level in 21 cases ( 26. 0% ) . Both ER level and PR level were up-regulated in 16 out of 81 cases( 19. 8% ) . Western blotting also suggested that the both proteins levels of ER and PR were up-regulated in some patients after the chemotherapy. Conclusion Transarterial infusion neoadjuvant chemotherapy affects the mRNA and protein level of the hormone receptors,which facilitates the subsequent killing effect of chemotherapy on tumor cells. ER and PR expressions should be determined after the transarterial infusion chemotherapy,which might provide a guide for the subsequent treatment and prognosis.

Strengthening the capacity of medical students' clinical thinking is an important aspect of medical education,the writers believe that medical students' clinical thinking ability can be improved through three aspects which include basic teaching practice,thinking knowledge based learning and clinical teaching.

The reform experiences of physician fee system ( PF ) practiced at a hospital in Nanjing were analyzed to come up with key influencing factors to make the reform a success,including income level,income makeup and income equity.Most noteworthy of the authors' points was income equity,proposing such reforms as target physician salary and inter-departmental balance,especially the two key factors of implementing the price target factor and inter-departmental balance.Their efforts aim at exploring a brand new idea and successful experiences in making PF system a success in China's hospitals.

In recent years , the increasing number of private medical institutions in China has not led to the re-sponding increase in medical services , capital asset scales .The competitive situation between public and private medical institutions has not yet been formed .This paper discusses the difficulties that Chinese private medical institu-tions have encountered in overseas capital inflow , in order to foster local private medical Institutions , as well as the development of private non-profit hospitals .Based on a systematic analysis of the key points in policy , suggestions were proposed in regarding with enhancement of top-level design of the policies , encouragement of the development of off-shore or on-shore small-scale private medical institutions , as well as facilitation of the productive factors flow in medical institutions'operation.The suggestions on the policies are to be referenced in decision making for a healthy development of Chinese private medical institutions .

Life education is the education based on perception and experience of life,the very nature of which is the cultivation of life awareness.It is the urgent requirement to carry out life education for university students,because it helps them to adjust to the developing and changing society and promotes their physical and psychological development coordinated.In order to strengthen college students' rational thinking on the value and significance of life,enhance their humanistic quality,life education should be incorporated into higher education system independently.

Objective:To study the neuropsychological features and explore possible mechanisms in pure word deafness.Methods:A case of a 55 year-old right-handed woman was analysed,who presented with a long lasting pure word deafness following subcortical and cortical hemorrhage in right temporal and parietal lobe.Results:There was no sign of aphasia. The auditory deficit was sepecific for language, while recognition of music and environmental sounds was normal. CT examinations showed that the lesion was due to right cerebral hemisphere hemorrhage, mainly the white matter of temporal and parietal lobe. Conclusion:It is proposed that pure word deafness was consequent to the isolation of Wernicke's area from incoming auditory information due to the interruption both of the association fibers from the right auditory area traveling across the corpus callosum and of the left auditory radiations.

There are still some flaws in the private non-profit hospital supervision system since those hospitals recently began to grow in China. The paper aims to analyze the access and changing processes from the non-profit to profit hospitals and the non-profit character supervision of the private non-profit hospitals based on the literature and survey data in Hubei, Guangdong and Jiangsu Provinces. It also puts forward some suggestions on the private non-profit hospitals development including how to optimize the access process, increase taxes or liquidation in the chan-ging process, and establish the coordination supervision mechanism for the non-profit Character in China.

Objective To study the changes in protease and cytokines,and to evaluate the protective effect of ulinastatin on ischemia-reperfusion lung injury in rabbits.Methods Thirty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into three groups(n=10): control group,traumatic hemorrhagic shock group(shock group) and ulinastatin-treated group.Blood samples were taken at four time points: pre-shock,post-shock,as well as 2h and 4h after blood volume repleshment.The serum levels of TNF-? and IL-8 were measured.4h after blood volume repleshment,the rabbits were sacrificed.The activity of myeloperoxidase(MPO) in lung tissue and neutrophil elastase(NE) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) were determined.Results In control group,the serum concentrations of TNF-? and IL-8 showed no obvious changes during the experiment.While in shock group and ulinastatin-treated group,the serum concentrations of TNF-? and IL-8 increased significantly in the duration of experiment compared with the values before shock(P

Objective To summarize the technique and evaluate the effect of anesthesia for off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB). Methods From 1997 through March of 2005, five hundred and forty-three consecutive patients undergoing OPCAB were retrospectively studied. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.05～0.12mg/kg, ketamine 0～0.5mg/kg and fentanyl 5～15?g/?kg. Anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane 0.3%～1.5% and oxygen, combined with propofol 1～3mg/(kg?h). Intraoperative hypotension resulting from either surgical procedure or anesthetics should be dealt with inotropes immediately. Results Intraoperative hemodynamics deviation was tolerated with the support of inotropics. The mean extubation time was 5.8?1.6h. The ICU stay was 0.5 to 2.0 day. The patients were discharged in 8.0?1.2 days. Two patients met sudden death in the second postoperative day. Conclusion Rational use of anesthetics and inotropics to stabilize hemodynamics during operation plays a key role in successful OPCAB.
