There are many disadvantages in the traditional teaching of pharmacology experiment, so it is difficult to assess students' experimental skills and comprehensive levels. Based on the comprehen-siveness, fairness, objectivity and reciprocity, we put forward a test-system which contains experimental preparation oral, experimental skills, experimental records, experimental reports, design experiments, ordi-nary performance and final experiment theory exam, hoping to provide a reference for the establishment of a new pharmacology experiment course assessment system.

With wide application of medical consumables, inventory management of medical consumables has important significance. The principle and two specific methods for keeping inventory level are introduced to give specific requirements of stock materials keeping and quality management. How to set up scientific management processes is more discussed in order to protect the work development of clinical medical care in health and safety in related crow, such as patient and user, and improve the efficiency and reduce labor intensity of care, so that the quality of medical care can reach to a new level.

The sequence encoding an E2 main antigen glycoprotein of the C strain of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) was highly expressed in the host cell E. coli BL21-CodonPlus (DE3)-RIL using the pGEX-4T-1 expression vector and the soluble recombinant product was purified with Glutathione Sepharose TM<'4B> by centrifugation. The soluble recombinant protein showed good immune reactions and was confirmed by Western blot using anti-CSFV-specific antibodies. Then an indirect ELISA with the purified E2 protein as the coating antigen was established to detect antibody against CSFV. The result revealed that the optimal concentration of coated antigen was 0.6 μg/well and the optimal dilution of serum was 1:80. The positive cut-off value of this ELISA assay was OD<,tested serum>/OD<,negative serum>≥2.1- The E2-ELISA method was evaluated by comparison with the indirect hemagglutination test (IHAT). When a total of 100 field serum samples were tested the sensitivity and specificity were 90.3% and 94.7% respectively. Specificity analysis showed that there were no cross-reactions between BVD serum and the purified E2 protein in the E2-ELISA.

AIM: To study the pathological features of the dilated cardiomyopathy and the mechanisms involved. METHODS: The left ventricular myocardium specimens were obtained from 8 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy by BATISTA. The morphological changes was examined macropathologically and histopathologically. RESULTS: The dilated cardiomyopathy from 8 patients can be classified into two types macropathology. One of them showed hypertrophy of left ventricular wall and the other showed fatty infiltration on myocardium of the left ventricular. In the first type, swelling of the endothelial cells as well as luminal stenosis even occlusive of small arteries and arterioles were observed in the study. Electronical microscopical examination showed that there were a lot of homogeneous secretory granules in the endothelial cells. CONCLUSION: These results suggested that the secretory granules might be from the damaged myocardial cells and entered into the adjacent endothelial cells. The pathological changes mentioned above could aggravate the ischemia of myocardium. At the same time, the vicious cycle make the pathological changes more serious. Further study should be made to confirm the nature of the secretory granules.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of human epididymis secretory protein (HE4) versus CA125 for endometrial cancer.Methods Serum HE4 and CA125 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLI) in 35 patients with endometrial cancer,48 patients with benign endometrial disorders and 40 healthy controls.The best cutoff value,sensitivity and specificity were calculated with pathological results as golden standard.Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted,and areaunderthecurve (ROC-AUC) was used to compare diagnostic value of HE4 and CA125.Results The median value in HE4 in endometrial cancer were 51.46 pmol/L,which was significantly higher than in the healthy and benign disorder controls (25.65 pmol/L and 27.92 pmol/L).However,CA125 levels did not show statistically significant difference among the 3 groups.The ROC-AUC of HE4 for discriminating endometrial cancer between healthy controls and benign disorder controls were 0.922 and 0.759,respectively,which showed higher diagnostic value than CA125 (ROC-AUC of 0.590 and 0.457,respectively).HE4 had a specificity/sensitivity of 87.5％ /86.1％ for distinguishing healthy controls from endometrial cancer,and 95.5％ /50％ for differential diagnosis with benign disorders.Conclusions Measurement of HE4 can be used as a tumor marker for diagnosis of endometrial cancer.

Objective To investigate the impact of internal carotid artery stenosis on cognitive function of patients and the improvement of cognitive function after internal carotid artery stenting. Methods The clinical data of 92 patients with asymptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis on segment C1 segment diagnosed by cerebral angiography at the Department of Neurology,Urumqi General Hospital of Lanzhou Military Hospital from May 2007 to June 2013 were analyzed retrospectively,including 49 with moderate stenosis and 43 with severe stenosis. Thirty-one patients had stenting. The enrolled patients were evaluated with the Montreal Cognitive Scale (MoCA)score and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score,and the improvement of the MoCA score at 3 month after stenting was evaluated. Results (1)The MoCA score of the severe stenosis group was lower than that of the moderate stenosis group(22. 6 ± 2. 9 vs. 27. 4 ± 2. 3,P<0. 01). The patients with the MoCA score <26 was 83. 7%(36/43). It was significantly higher than 22. 4% in the moderate stenosis group (11/49). There was significant difference between the 2 groups (P<0. 01). (2)In the severe stenosis group,there was no significant difference in the preoperative MoCA score between the stenting group (22. 9 ± 3. 0)and the non-stenting group (21. 9 ± 2. 4)(P>0.05);3 months after stenting,the MoCA score (25. 4 ± 2. 7)of the stenting group was significantly better than that of the non-stenting group (22. 2 ± 2. 8). There was significant difference (P<0. 01);and after stenting,the proportion of patients with the MoCA score <26 (48. 4%,15/31)was significantly lower than those of the non-stenting (83. 3%,10/12,P=0. 037). Conclusion Severe stenosis of internal carotid artery may cause cognitive dysfunction. Carotid artery stenting is conducive to improve cognitive function in patients with severe stenosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,treatment outcome and prognosis of pa tients with nasopharyngeal adenoid cystic carcinoma(ACC).Methods From March 1963 to August 2002, 33 patients with ACC were retrospectively reviewed.Among them,13 received multimedality therapy(S + R in 9 and R +S in 4) and the remaining 20 received radiotherapy alone.The interval between the first visit and clinical diagnosis was 12 months(1.0-36.4 months).The misdiagnosis rate was 55% (18/33),with the most common error of otitis media.The clinical symptoms of ACC were similar to those of squamous carcino ma in nasopharynx,though the cervical lymph node metastasis was rare(12%) and cranial nerve invasion was common (58%). ResultsAfter a median follow-up of 60.8 months (5.0-245.2 months),the 5-and 10-year overall survival rates,free-disease survival rates,local regional control rates and metastasis-free sur vival rates were 66% and 29% ,41% and 27% ,61% and 40% ,62% and 62% ,respectively.Among the 20 patients(61%) with recurrence,15 had local regional failure(13 in situ and 2 in cervical lymph node) ,and 9 had distant metastasis(5 in the lung,2 in the lung and bone,1 in the liver and I in the bone).Univariate analysis showed that clinical stage was a prognostic factor(Ⅰ + II vs Ⅲ + Ⅳ,P = 0.009),while treatment modality(radiotherapy alone vs multimodality therapy) was not. ConclusionsNasopharyngeal ACC is a locally aggressive disease with a long course.Either radiotherapy alone or muhimodality therapy(S + R/R + S) is effective in the treatment.

In this study,a synthesized quadruple antigenic epitope gene region of the classical swine fever virus (CSFV)E2 glycoprotein was expressed in E.coli to a obtain target protein.This target protein was used as a coating antigen to establish an indirect ELISA for specifically detecting anti-CSFV antibodies in serum samples from pigs.The P/N cut-off value of this assay was 1.92 by receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)analysis based on 30 negative sera and 80 positive samples.The test gave 97.5% sensitivity and 96.7% specificity compared with the indirect hemagglutination(IHA)test.The inter-assay and intra-assay coefficients of variation (CVs)for 16 sera were both ≤6.8%.No cross-reactivity between the coating antigen and anti-bovine viral diarrhoea virus(BVDV)antibodies was observed.

Objective To study the dynamic change of anatomy and dosimetry distribution and its influence during intensity modulated radiation therapy(IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC). Methods From June 2006 to August 2007,12 patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ NPC receiving initial IMRT concurrently combined with chemotherapy were included in the study. The target volumes and,involving organs were contoured on the first set of spiral CT images. When IMRT planning was finished,a second CT scans was acquired to rectify the treatment center. Weekly spiral CT images acquired during the treatment period according to the same treatment center were fused with the first CT images. In order to determine the best time of replanning, modified plan target volume( PTV1 ) and normal organs( parotids and outline) were contoured on the fusion interface by a single physician. Changes of each structure throughout treatment period were measured by a system software. Then the dose distributions were computed and evaluated for replanning CT using the same beams arrangement in the original plan. Cumulative dose was estimated compared with the original plan. Results The volume of outlines and parotids decreased gradually, and the change came to peak in the fifth week. So the fifth and first week CT scans were selected as research objectives. No significant changes in maximal and mean dose was observed in the brainstem, spinal cord or mandible. Despite volume changes,D99 and D95 of the PTV1 did not change siguificantly(P＞0.05). D95 of the bilateral parotids increased significantly ( PL = 0.03,PR = 0.01 ). Conclusions During IMRT for NPC, the volume of PTV1, the outlines and parotids decrease,and the change come to peak in the fifth week. Comparing to the first treatment plan, the dose parameters of the parotids increase significantly in the second plan based on the fifth week CT,but those of the brainstem,cord,mandible and PTV1 change slightly.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics , therapeutic outcomes , and prognostic factors of primary salivary gland type nasopharyngeal carcinoma ( SNPC) . Methods The medical records of 54 patients with SNPC at single institution between 1963 and 2006 were reviewed, 2 patients received surgery alone, 30 patients received radiotherapy alone and 22 patients received combined modality therapy consisting of surgery (S) and radiotherapy ( RT) ( S + RT in 15 and RT + S in 7). Of them, 8 patients received chemotherapy , including post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy in 1 patient, palliative chemotherapy in 6 patients and concurrent chemotherapy in 1 patient. 36 patients had adenoid cystic carcinoma ( ACC) ,11 mucoepidermoid carcinoma ( MEC) , and 7 primary traditional adenocarcinoma ( AC) . The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the overall sunival ( OS) , locoregional failure-free survival ( LRFFS) , and distant failure-free survival ( DFFS) rates. Univariate analyses were performed using the Log-rank method.Comparisons of variables between cases were performed using Pearson chi-square test. Results The follow-up was 89％ . The 2-, and 5-year overall survival rates, loco-regional failure free survival rates and distant failure free survival rates were 85％ and 61％ , 74％ and 55％ , 92％ and 70％, respectively. Among the 35 patients with treatment failure, 26 patients had locoregional failure (1 in primary site and cervical lymph node ,23 in primary site and 2 in cervical lymph node) ,and 13 had distant metastasis. The lung was the most common site of metastasis ( n =10) , followed by liver (n = 3), bone ( n = 2) , brain ( n = 1) , and subcutaneous tissue ( n = 1) . Univariate analyses indicated that histological subtypes correlated with overall survival ( X2 = 15. 29, P = 0. 000) and cervial lymph node metastases correlated with distant failure-free survival ( X2 =9. 08 ,P = 0. 003) . Conclusions Primary salivary gland type nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a locally aggressive disease with a long course. The optimal treatment policy for patients with SNPC may be surgery plus radiotherapy.
