Objective To investigate the interest,cognition degree,participation degree and current situation of the advanced undergraduate clinical students in our college,to discuss the reason for low level of students' scientific research quality,in order to provide the reference to making research training programs for them.Methods The advanced undergraduates of seven-year and five-year clinical program interned in orthopedics department from January to June in 2014 were selected with cluster sampling method,and investigated anonymously by questionnaires and interview.120 students were investigated by questionnaire,and 120 effective questionnaires were taken back.30 students were interviewed.Results The results showed that 90.0 percent (n=108) of students were interested in scientific activity,and 47.5 percent (n=57) of students had participated in scientific lectures.In interviews,students think factors hindering the research on the participation in scientific research are:1)too many courses and heavy school tasks;2) absence of relative knowledge;3) lack of support from college;4) tough condition for scientific training;5) immature management system.Conclusion The advanced undergraduate clinical students had great interest in scientific activity,but had few opportunities to take part in,leading to their low level of scientific research quality.A variety of measures should be taken to bolster their scientific training.

Objective:To study dynamic changes of fragile histidine triad(FHIT) gene expression in ionizing radiation injury and radiation carcinogenesis. Methods: BEAS-2B cells were divided into 0.5,1,2,4,8,16 Gy irradiation groups and control group. In 24 h, 72 h and 10 d after irradiation, the expression of FHIT gene was studied with single-cell RT-PCR and DNA sequencing separately. Results: Different types of FHIT gene mutations occured in different phases after irradiation with different doses (All mutations were exon deletion mutations by DNA sequencing), while abnormal FHIT gene was not detected in control group. The percentage of mutation in 0.5,1,2,4,8,16 Gy dose groups was 52.6%,66.7%,57.9%,76.5%,64.7% and 81.3% respectively 24 h after irradiation;17.6%,22.2%,50.0%,47.4%,47.1% and 68.4% respectively 72 h after irradiation;and 21.1%,25.0%,60.0%,57.9%,61.1% and 68.4% respectively 10 d after irradiation. Conclusion: These results suggest that ionizing radiation can cause deletion of FHIT gene.

Objective: To inquire into the testis gene change of mouse model with kidney-yang deficiency induced by overfatigue and excessive sexual life, the modern science mechanism of syndrome of kidney-yang deficiency and kidney controlling reproduction can be revealed on the gene level. Methods: The model of kidney-yang deficiency was established by each male mouse with six female mice keeping in the same cage, and all the male mice were forced to swim for 30-40 minutes everyday lasting for four weeks. The testis genes of mice in control group and model group were detected with Mouse OneArrayTM Whole Genome DNA microarray. The differentially expressed genes were screened under the condition of the relative fluorescence intensity ratio of the two groups ≥2 and ≤0.5 and further classified according to gene function by using Molecule Annotation System (MAS) created by CapitalBio Corp. Beijing, China. Results: The mouse model with kidney-yang deficiency was established successfully by the method of overfatigue and excessive sexual life. The scatter plot of gene expression profiles of comparing control group with model group was drawn. Differentially expressed genes were screened, including 2425 up-regulated genes and 3080 down-regulated genes. Among the first one hundred up-regulated genes, 41 genes were known and among the first one hundred down-regulated genes, 62 genes were known. These genes were mainly related to the cellular structure/function, material/energy metabolism, signal transduction/transmission, inflammation/immunization, cell apoptosis, transcription/translation,proliferation/differentiation and cell cycle. Conclusion: The testis gene of kidney-yang deficiency mouse had a wide change. The essence of kidney-yang deficiency syndrome and the theory of the kidney originating and controlling life reproduction were explained on the gene level.

Abstract? AlM: To evaluate macular thickness and macular volume changes in people with diabetes mellitus but no significant decrease of visual acuity.?METHODS:A total of 87 eyes were collected in diabetic group. According to the international stage of diabetic retinopathy, these cases were divided into two subgroups:DR0 stage 54 eyes and DR1 stage 33 eyes. All the cases were received optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan in macular area;the scanning model is 512× 128; recording macular average thickness and macular volume, and compared with healthy subjects.? RESULTS: Macular average thickness and macular volume were higher in DR1 group than those in DR0 stage and control group, and differences were having statistical significance. But DR0 group and control group differences of the two indexes were not statistically significant.? CONCLUSlON: With the aggravation of diabetic retinopathy, the macular thickness tends to be thicken. Although without obvious visual loss, there have been slight morphological changes. Using OCT scan can find fundus changes earlier in patients with diabetes mellitus, and provide clinical basis for both early diagnosis and treatment.

Background Carotid stenosis is one of the important causes of ocular ischemic diseases,To study their relationship is helpful for us to classify and manage the ocular ischemic diseases.Objective This study was to investigate the correlation between ocular ischemic diseases and carotid stenosis.Methods Twenty patients with internal carotid artery stenosis rate more than 60% defined by digital subtraction angiography(DSA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) were selected,including 9 patients with lateral carotid artery stenosis and 11 patients with bilateral carotid artery stenosis.The best corrected visual acuity,intraocular pressure and fundus examinations were carried out,and the peak systolic velocity (PSV) and end diastolic velocity (EDV) of the central retinal artery(CRA) were detected with color doppler flowimaging (CDFI).The resistance index(RI) was calculated by the formula RI =PSV- EDV/PSV.The correlation between internal carotid artery stenosis rate and PSV or RI was evaluated by Spearman rank correlated analysis.Results The subjective inanifestations included transient amaurosis in 77.4% frequency and visual blur in 22.6% frequency in the 31 carotid artery stenosis.Twelve eyes(38.7% ) appeared the ocular vascular abnormality.Other 2 patients were diagnosed as hypoperfusion retinopathy complicated by neovascular glaucoma.A negative relationship was found between internal carotid artery stenosis rate and PSV of CRA ( r =-0.41,R2 =0.168,P =0.021 <0.05 ),but no significant relationships was found between internal carotid artery stenosis rate and RI ( r =- 0.26,R2 =0.068,P =0.159 ).Conclusions Carotid artery stenosis can cause the of ocular ischemic symptoms.The characteristics of retinal hemodynamics is the type of low speed and normal resistance.
