As human subject protection become more and more significant in China,it' s imperative for China to learn more experiences from U.S for which developed a normative and well designed HRPP system during past decades.In this article,we gave a brief introduction of the Human Subject Protection Program at Duke University to help us have a better understanding of the HRPP at institutional level.After which we have further discussion of the status quo and challenges facing in HRPP construction in China,especially,Peking University as an example.

BACKGROUND: Decreasing of absorption of zinc from small intestine can induce dermatitis, alopecia, growth and developmental disorder and so on. It is not very clear that how to keep homeostasis when there is low zinc concentration. The discoveries of zinc transporters and relative researches provide new study direction.OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of different zinc concentration on the expressions of divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) and human zinc-regulated transporter (ZRT), iron-regulated transporter (IRT)-like protein (ZIP) 4mRNA, and analyze the potential pathway of absorption of zinc from small intestine in low zinc concentration.DESIGN: Blank-controlled experiment.SETTING: Department of Military Hygiene, Navy Faculty, Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was accomplished in Department of Military Hygiene, Navy Faculty of Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between October 2004 and May 2005. Materials were human colon adenocarcinoma cells Caco2 that were purchased from Shanghai Institute of Cell of Chinese Academy of Sciences.Time-dependent effect: The expression of DMT1 and ZIP4 mRNA was detected with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) at 0,dependent effect: The expression of DMT1 and ZIP4 mRNA were measured after the 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 μmol/L TPEN exposure, respectively, by RT-PCR.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Time-and dose-dependent effect of zinc on the expression of DMT1 and ZIP4 mRNA in Caco2 cells.RESULTS: ①Time-dependent effect: Compared with 0 hour, the expression of DMT1 mRNA obviously increased at 6, 8 and 10 hours (P ＜ 0.05 ), but there was no significant change at 2 and 4 hours. The expression of ZIP4 mRNA markedly increased in all timing, and ZIP4 mRNA level at the 6th hour reached the peak with the prolongation of low zinc duration,which was 2.1 times ofthat at 0 hour. ②Dose-dependent effect: The expression of DMT1 mRNA distinctly increased at the concentration of 7.5 and 10 μmol/L TPEN exposure as compared with that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05), but there was no significant change at 2.5 and 5 μmol/L. The ZIP4 mRNA expression increased with the increasing of the concentration of TPEN, the expression of ZIP4 mRNA was 2.7 times of that at 0 μmol/L. CONCLUSION: Zinc can regulate the expression of DMT1 and ZIP4 mRNA in Caco2 cells, and there is time-and dose-dependent effect. But the mRNA expression of ZIP4 is more sensitive and prompt than DMT1. Cells can upregulate the expression of DMT1 and ZIP4 mRNA to keep the homeostasis in low zinc condition.

The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) questionnaire was used for appraisal in a newly-built general hospital for all the nursing staff, and they were provided with a six-month safety culture training according to appraisal results.The training has elevated the positive response rate of the nursing staff towards all dimensions of patient safety culture, proving that scientific and reasonable safety culture training is conducive to nurses' perception of patient safety culture.

Objective To study the changes of biochemistry indexes in blood serum and bone mineral density (BMD) of secondary osteoporosis after spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. Methods 120 male Wistar rats were divided randomly into 12 groups (n=10). The rats in control groups were only removed larmina with dura intact, without spinal cord injury at the level of the tenth thoracic vertebrae, the rats in experimental groups were also removed larmina, then paraplegic model was made by the method of Allen's (60gcm). The changes of biochemistry indexes in blood serum and BMD were observed. Results Compared with control groups, the concentrations of alkaline phophatase (ALP) were decreased at the 1st and the 3rd week in experimental groups (P0.05). BMD of tibia was decreased at the 7th and 11th week in experimental group (P

Objective:To study the concentration response and time course of zinc transporter 1 (ZnT 1) and metallothionein (MT1/MT2) mRNA,as well as the cell viability to zinc exposure in primary cultured new born rats hippocampal neuron s. Methods: The cell viability were determined by trypan blue s taining at various concentrations of Zn 2+ (0, 50, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200 ?mol/L). The expression of ZnT 1, MT1 and MT2 mRNA to various concentrations of zinc exposure(0, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 ?mol/L) and to 100 ?mol/L zinc exposure for different times (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 h) were determined b y real time fluorescent quantitative PCR. Results: The viabilit y of the neurons decreased significantly after 48 h once the concentration of Zn 2+ exceeded 125 ?mol/L,and the expression of ZnT 1 mRNA was in proportion to the increment of zinc.The expression of MT1/MT2 mRNA reached a plateau when the zinc concentration exceeding 75 ?mol/L. The expression of ZnT 1 mRNA peaked on about 2 h.However, the expression of MT1/MT2 mRNA reached its maximal around 6 h at the concentration of 100 ?mol/L. Conclusion: These results imply that although both MTs and ZnT 1 can attenuate the zinc toxicity, they may play different roles at different phases. ZnT 1 enhance the efflux of zinc prior to the sequesteration by MTs. Th e action of ZnT 1 may be durable, but the role of MTs may be satiable.

Objective To provide reference for developing and perfecting the open resources of national-wide cancer genomics-related data by collecting, systematizing, organizing, sharing and applying the related data of the National Genome Atlas ( TCGA) Program. Methods The technical process, sharing and use of TCGA Program data were in-vestigated. Results TCGA established the whole linkage data management process by cooperating with multiple cen-ters, including tissue sample collection, processing, quality control, sequencing, characteristics analysis, data sharing and application of research achievements. The data were classified according to the related cancer, data types and their processing. The mutation, amplification and deficit of related cancer characteristic genes and the af-fected signaling pathways were studied according to the two sharing mechanisms underlying open access and con-trolled access to the collected data and individual data. Conclusion Studies on TCGA Program can provide experi-ences and reference in data management for the implementation of large scale TCGA Program.

Objective:To observe the growth and development of the weaned mice fed with different levels of dietary zinc and to explore the expression of zinc transporter 3(ZnT3) mRNA induced by different dietary zinc intakes. Methods: Twenty male weaned mice (postnatal day 21) were divided into 4 groups: zinc deficient (ZD), zinc adequate(ZA), zinc supplemental (ZS) and pair fed(PF). Mice were fed with different levels of dietary zinc for 3 weeks (from postnatal day 21 to postnatal day 42) ;the zinc contents of ZD, ZA, ZS and PF group were 1 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg, 180 mg/kg and 180 mg/kg respectively. From postnatal day 21 to postnatal day 42, the diet intakes and weight of the mice were measured everyday. On postnatal day 42, the mice were sacrificed and tissues were immediately isolated and frozen lor RNA extraction. The serum zinc concentrations were measured by AAS and the expression of ZnT3 mRNA was determined by semiquantitative RT-PCR. Results: The dietary intakes and weight of ZD mice were much lower than that of other groups(P3

In teaching the course of Environmental Hygiene to the senior major of the four-year undergraduates of the Department of Public Administration,we have tried to reform the teaching program for the course of Public Place Hygiene.The related theories are taught right on the spot of public places instead of in classrooms.Students are organized to carry out such activities on their own as studying subject matters,consulting related documents and data,working out and implementing programs for on-the-spot monitoring and inspection,and then exchanging and discussing the results of monitoring and inspection,so that their interest in the courses is increased and their understanding of what they have learned is deepened.In this way they are able to apply their knowledge to practice,improve their practical capabilities,and enhance their overall capacity for analyzing and finding solutions to problems they are faced with.

To research the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of glycinamide-bearing compounds that used as inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), P32/98 and compound A were chosen as the leading compounds, heterocycles containing nitrogen atom were introduced to form amide, and different residues on a-position of carbonyl were designed. The nineteen designed compounds were synthesized by a simple route and were evaluated as inhibitors of DPP-IV. All of the structures were characterized by 1H NMR and HRMS. The preliminary SAR result was obtained.
