Objective To explore the preliminary mechanism of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in promoting prostate cancer proliferation in tumor inflammatory microenvironment.Methods From April 2013 to October 2013,MSCs pretreated with inflammatory cytokine IL-1α (MSCs (IL-1α)) and its culture supernatants mixed with RM-1 cells,which origined from C57BL/6 mice,were subcutaneously administered in the armpit area of C57BL/6 or BALB/c mice to establish homologous or heterologous transplant animal mode and to detect the tumor growth.Meanwhile the influence of MSCs on the proliferation of spleen cells was detected in vitro.Results In homologous transplant model,the relative tumor weight of prostate cancer cells prtreated with MSCs and MSCs (IL-1α) and their culture supernatant were (3.4 ± 0.2),(3.3 ±0.2),(4.9±0.5),and (5.2±0.6) g.The results were statistically significant (P<0.05) compared with the control group (2.4±0.2) g.In heterologous model,the ratio of tumor formation of the pretreated groups were 50%,50%,80% and 80%,respectively,compared with the control group of 0%.The results were statistically significant (P<0.05).In proliferation experiments of spleen cells,the number of spleen cell pretreated with IL-1α were significantly lower than that in control group and unpretreated group (P < 0.05).Conclusions MSCs pretreated with IL-1α could effectively promote the growth of prostate cancer cell in vivo.The reason may be due to inflammatory cytokines induce immune suppression of MSCs and then lead to immune escape of cancer cells.

The quality of Chinese herbal medicine is closely related to its producing region. In order to apply mathematical models to do a quantitative study on the suitability of Chinese herbal medicine, it is necessary to study on the ecological factors and the interpolation of climatic data, which influence the Chinese herbal medicine growth. The paper firstly studied the judgment standard of ecological index from the points of ecology and statistics, and how to calculate the optimum range values and the weight of each ecological factor. Secondly, meteorological element data is essential data in analyzing the suitable region of Chinese herbal medicine, and the spatial distribution of meteorological elements is closely related to terrain environment, so, in order to make the results close to true value by the greatest degree. The paper adopted multiple linear regression interpolation method which based on DEM. The paper distinguished the factor system of suitable region and interpolation on the point of datumization, and made a study on it about some key issues.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the impact of the regeneration of interstitial cell of Cajal (ICC) on the conduction of slow wave and gastric emptying in rats undergoing Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy.
METHODSTwenty male SD rats were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group consisted of ten rats undergoing Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy. The control group only underwent pyloric transection and anastomosis. Gastric scintigraphy was performed in the two groups respectively to measure the half time of gastric emptying (t1/2) at sixteen weeks after the surgical manipulations, and then the myoelectrical activities near the gastrojejunal anastomosis were recorded. The study also observed the regeneration of ICC by the electron microscopy. The data of the 2 groups was compared by t test.
RESULTSIn the sixteenth postoperative week, the t1/2 was (23.5 ± 4.5) minutes for rats in the Roux-en-Y group and (10.2 ± 2.3) minutes for those in the control group, indicating delayed gastric emptying in the Roux-en-Y group (t=7.978, P=0.000), accompanied with the abnormal myoelectrical activities near the gastrojejunal anastomosis. The morphological detection showed that ICC near the gastrojejunal anastomosis regenerated and reconstructed their network in the rats of the experimental group.
CONCLUSIONThe abnormal myoelectrical activities near the gastrojejunal anastomosis, basing on the regeneration and reconstruction of ICC, may make a significant delay on the gastric emptying.

Objective:To investigate thromboprophylaxis of patients with COVID-19.Methods:Clinical data of 31 patients with COVID-19 in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University was analyzed retrospectively, including basic information, clinical characteristics, examination results, therapy and Padua scores. 5G remote ultrasound diagnosis system was used in the ultrasonography of lower limb vein, inferior vena cava and the heart. According to the patient′s status, the thromboprophylaxis was established, and the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) was observed.Results:There were 20 cases of general types and 11cases of severe types. All patients underwent dynamic assessment and thromboprophylaxis. Basic prevention was applied in 28 cases and mechanical prevention was used in 3 cases. There was no VTE event in all patients during hospitalization.Conclusions:Prevention and monitoring of VTE is an important part of the treatment of patients with COVID-19, which can effectively reduce the incidence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis and fatal pulmonary embolism in isolation ward.

Objective:To construct the curriculum content system of Extreme Environmental medicine based on the trainees' competency.Methods:After analysis of Chinese doctors' post competency demand, and the characteristics of military students, qualitative and quantitative methods were used to construct the curriculum system. The consistency of expert opinions was represented by Kendall's W coefficient, using chi-square test. The hierarchy and weights of all items were analyzed by the analytic hierarchy process, using consistency ratio ( CR) , which was incorporated into this system after passing the test ( CR<0.1) . Results:The selective experts were all authoritative and positivity, the assessments were consistency. Finally, it formed 5 primary items, 15 secondary items, and 54 third items of educational materials and 13 knowledge modules and 1 comprehensive seminar.Conclusions:Based on the demand of Chinese doctors' post competency, a curriculum system of extreme environment medicine has been constructed, through combined application of qualitative and quantitative research methods.

Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (NCP) is a class B infectious disease, which is prevented and controlled according to class A infectious diseases. Recently, children′s NCP cases have gradually increased, and children′s fever outpatient department has become the first strategic pass to stop the epidemic. Strengthening the management of the fever diagnosis process is very important for early detection of suspected children, early isolation, early treatment and prevention of cross-infection. This article proposes prevention and control strategies for fever diagnosis, optimizes processes, prevents cross-infection, health protection and disinfection of medical staff, based on the relevant diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control programs of the National Health and Health Commission and on the diagnosis and treatment experience of experts in various provinces and cities. The present guidance summarizes current strategies on pre-diagnosis; triage, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of 2019-nCoV infection in common fever, suspected and confirmed children, which provide practical suggestions on strengthening the management processes of children′s fever in outpatient department during the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic period.
