Objective Diagnosis of GDM during the early period and treatment in time can improve motherchild prognosis.Methods 805 pregnant women with gestational age of 24～28 weeks were screened by the 50g 1hour glucose challenge test(GET).75g oral glrcose tolerance test(OGTT)were further performed in the abnormal pregnant women,and the normal or abnormal pregnant outcomes were followed.Results The morbidity of pregnant women and neonates were higher in-group of gestational impaired glucose tolerence(GIGT)and geztational diabetes mellittts(GDM)(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion The research suggests that all pregnant women must be screened for detecting diabetes mettitus.The abnormality of glucose tolerance test need to be further treated and monitored.

Objective To evaluate the quality of the examination paper of the theory of Clinical Diagnostics,to explore and reflect on the teaching methods,so as to improve the quality of teaching.Methods Finals results of Clinical Diagnostics including 40 clinical undergraduates of Capital Medical University were analyzed.SPSS 20.0 was used to make analysis of the frequency,means statistics and normality of the examination paper.Kuder Richardson/Cmnbacha formula,percentage unification methods and so on were used to calculate confidence,validity,difficulty and degrees of distinction.Acquisition of relevant knowledge was assessed according to score distribution,while test paper quality was evaluated based on indicators including confidence,validity,difficulty and degrees of distinction.Results Test scores of 40 students were between 61 to 96 (83.64 ± 8.07).The degree of confidence (γ) for choice questions and subjective questions was 0.65 and 0.59 respectively;The validity (V) was 0.27;The overall difficulty (P) of the examination was 0.84;The degrees of distinction (D) were between 0.16 to 0.30.And the total points losing rate was 16.36％.Conclusion The examination is of medium difficulty and good degree of distinction,but the teaching strategies still need further adjustment in order to improve the students' ability of flexible application of the basic knowledge.

Objective To observe the characteristics of vertical cast-off bloodstain pattern by different hitting-tools. Methods The regular hitting tools, a kitchen knife, a dirk, a plane set-hammer and an iron pipe, were selected. At a distance of 30 cmaway fromthe wall, the hitting tool with 5 mL fresh chick-en blood made the cast-off bloodstain fromtop to bottom. Then the holistic distribution characteristics ( length , width and density ) of cast-off bloodstain and morphology characteristics ( length , width and contact angle) of first single cast-off bloodstain were analyzed. Results The distribution length of cast-off bloodstain formed by dirk was minimum( P<0 .05 ) . The distribution width of cast-off bloodstain formed by kitchen knife was minimum(P<0.05). Except the pair of kitchen knife and plane set-hammer, the distribution density between each two tools had statistical differences (P<0.05). The length of first single cast-off bloodstain formed by plane set-hammer was longest compared (P<0.05). The width of first single cast-off bloodstain had statistical differences between kitchen knife and plane set-hammer, and between dirk and plane set-hammer (P<0.05). Conclusion The type of hitting tool could be inferred by the specific characteristics of cast-off bloodstain pattern formed by every specific type of hitting tool in crime scene.

Objective To study the effect of Sarcandra Glabra on the expression of signal transduction molecules of TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway in miniature pig of radiation-induced lung injury.Methods 75 miniature pigs were divided into control group,radiation group and radiation plus medication group randomly.At 1 week before exposure of right lung with 15 Gy γ-rays,the miniature pigs in radiation plus medication group were given Sarcandra glabra,while those in the other groups received an equal amount of saline.Right lung were taken at weeks 2,4,8,12 and 24 after irradiation,the pathological changes in the lung tissue were observed by HE staining,and the expression of mRNA and protein of TGF-β1,Smad2,Smad3,and Smad7 were detected by real-time PCR and western blotting,respectively.Results Sarcandra glabra reduced the inflammation and fibrosis of the lung tissue in miniature pig after irradiation.Compared with control group,the expressions of TGF-β1 and Smad3 were significantly increased at 2 weeks after irradiation(P ＜ 0.05),Smad2 and Smad7 were increased at 8 and 12 weeks after irradiation(P ＜ 0.05),respectively,in the radiation group.Compared with the radiation group,the expressions of TGF-β1 and Smad2 were significantly decreased(P ＜ 0.05) from the fourth and eighth week,respectively,Smad3 had no obvious change while Smad7 was significantly increased from the second week in the radiation plus medication group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Sarcandra Glabra plays protective effect on radiation-induced lung injury in miniature pig by regulating TGF-β1,Smad2 and Smad7 expressions in the TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the role of Rho in SiO2 induced α-SMA expression in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs). Methods HBECs were cultured and stimulated with SiO2. Immunocytochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the expression of α-SMA. The activity of Rho was determined by GST pull down assay. In the prevention experiment,SiO2-stimulated HBECs were incubated with Rho inhibitor Y27632,and the expression of α-SMA was examined by Western blot. Results With SiO2 (0-300 μg/mL) treatment,the expression of α-SMA increased gradually,and 200 μg/mL of SiO2 led to the highest expression of α-SMA which was (5.09±1.98) times of the expression of α-SMA in the control group(P＜0.01). HBECs treated with SiO2 (200 μg/mL) for indicated time (1,2,6,12,and 24 h)showed an obvious increase of Rho activity(P＜0.01). Y27632 inhibited SiO2-induced α-SMA expression significantly,and the inhibition rate of 20 and 30 μmol/L Y27632 was 68% and 75%,respectively (P＜0.01).Conclusion Rho signaling pathway may mediate SiO2 induced α-SMA expression in HBECs.

MMP-2 and TIMP-2 expression had a significance correlation(r=0.708,P

AIM:The aim of this study was to examine the microstatellite instability(MSI)and loss of heterozygosity(LOH)of locus D17S396 on chromosome 17 and their influence on the expression of nm23H1 in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),which may provide experimental evidence for the mechanism of nm23H1 gene and tumor metastasis.METHODS:Techniques such as DNA extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues,PCR-SSCP,ordinary silver stain were used to study MSI and LOH of locus D17S396.Envision immunohistochemistry and Leica-Qwin computer imaging techniques were used to assess the expression of nm23H1.RESULTS:① The frequency of heredity instability of HCCs was 35.42%.The frequency of LOH in the cases with lymph node or distant organs metastasis or not and with intrahepatic metastasis or embolus of portal vein or not was significantly different(P
