mia and hypertension are the major risk factors for occurrence of diabetic retinopathy.High UA may be also associated with occurrence of diabetic retinopathy.

Objective An intensive analysis on the recent advances in cardiovascular medicine both in China and abroad was made,so as to provide an orientation of developing cardiovascular medicine in the future.Methods Literature of cardiovascular medicine published domestically and abroad in recent 5 years was reviewed.The advances in the use of new drug and techniques,clinical diagnosis and therapeutic methods were analyzed.Results Cardiovascular medicine in basic,clinical and practical fields had made rapid advances in the military institutions lately,especially in the interventional diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease,arrhythmia and peripheral vascular disease,and in the treatment of hypertension,where outstanding successes had been achieved.Conclusions The general level of cardiovascular medicine of military medical establishments could be considered foremost in our country.During the coming years of "the 12th Five-Year Plan",the emphasis of research work should be placed upon the medical care,basic and clinical research of common cardiovascular diseases existing in military officers and soldiers,such as coronary heart disease,peripheral vascular disease and arrhythmias,both in peace time and military conflicts.

Objective To study the effect of rising [Ca 2+ ]i on the expression of Caspase 3, Bax and Bcl 2 in human breast cancer MCF 7 cell lines. Methods After the MCF 7 cells treated with different dose of thapsigargin(TG), intracellular calcium concentrations in MCF 7 cells were measured by calcium sensitive fluorescence indicator Fura 2/AM technique; and immunohistochemical method was used to detected the expressions of Caspase 3, Bax and Bcl 2. Results Bax was over expressed and Bcl 2 was down expressed in a [Ca 2+ ]i concentration dependent way;nevertheless, the expression of Caspase 3 was negative in all the TG treated cells. Conclusions The increase of intracellular calcium concentration may have an inductive effect of apoptosis on MCF 7 cells, which is independent to Caspase 3.

Objective To study the apoptotic induction effect of Thapsigargin on estrogen receptor positive human breast cancer cell lines MCF 7. Methods Cells were treated with Thapsigargin and 5 FU in vitro . The rate of cell apoptosis and distribution of cell cycle were detected on flow cytometry. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay and ultrastructural changes in apoptotic cells were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy.Results Thapsigargin could increase the rates both of cell apoptosis and growth supression of MCF 7 cells induced by 5 FU and alter the distribution of cell cycle. Under electron microscope, apoptotic bodies in MCF 7 cells considerably increased.Conclusion Thapsigargin apparently enhances the effect of apoptotic induction of 5 FU on MCF 7 cells, it is worthy of being further studied.

The freshmen column in 39 985 Projectacademic libraries was investigated , which showed that 15 out of the 39 985 Projectacademic libraries have established freshmen column on their library website .Its posi-tion, contents and forms were analyzed.The typical freshmen column in libraries of Qinghua University, Shanghai Jiaotong University , and Sun Yat-sen University was described with suggestions put forward for improvement of its position, contents and forms.

Objective To study the effects of Duliang capsule on the expression of calcitonin gene‐related peptide(CGRP) and cholecystokinin(CCK) in the midbrain of a rat migraine model ,and explored treatment effects and mechanisms of Duliang cap‐sule on rats with migraine .Methods A total of 24 rats were randomly divided into four groups :normal control groups(A) ,migraine model groups(B) ,Duliang capsule control groups(C) and Duliang capsule treatment groups(D) .C and D were intragastrically per‐fused with Duliang capsule(0 .5 g · kg -1 · d-1 ) .After 7 days ,nitroglycerin was subcutaneously injected into the buttocks of the B and D to induce migraine .Two hours after nitroglycerin injection ,the midbrain were isolated CGRP and CCK expression in midbrain were determined using SYBR Green I real‐time quantitative PCR .Results CGRP mRNA expression was significantly lower in mid‐brains of rats in the Duliang capsule treatment groups compared with migraine model groups(P<0 .05) .CCK mRNA expression was significantly lower in midbrains of rats in the Duliang capsule control groups compared with normal control groups(P<0 .05) . Conclusion Duliang capsule can exhibit the expression of CGRP and CCK in the midbrain of the migraine rats .weaken the CGRP and CCK‐induced inhibition of the analgesic effects of opioid peptides .

With the constant development of medical science and technology, great changes have taken place in the role of medico-technical departments. In light of the basic characteristics and development situation of medico-technical departments in modern hospitals, the paper proposes the following ways to step up their management: ①enhancing organizational management and raising the level of scientific management; ②reinforcing standardized management and improving the quality of diagnosis and treatment; ③tightening personnel management and bettering the quality of technical personnel; ④strengthening horizontal ties and coordinating relations with clinical departments; ⑤augmenting disciplinary integration and bringing into full play the role of advantaged specialty groups; ⑥giving full play to the “two initiatives” and setting up a highly efficient operational mechanism within the departments.

Objective To investigate the recent studies on the biocharacters of keratin family (e.g. genetic mutations and abnormal expressions) and their relationships with the malignant tumors. Methods The literatures of recent years on the biocharacters of keratin family (e.g. genetic mutations and abnormal expressions) and their relationships with the malignant tumors were reviewed. Results Keratin family is a kind of structural proteins in cell which plays an important role in cytomechanics and regulates cell-cycle. The mutations of keratin genes (mRNA) or the overexpression of keratin proteins would interfere with the order of cell-cycle or the integrity of cytomechanics, and lead to some diseases and malignant tumors finally. Conclusion The studies on biocharaters of keratin family (e.g. genetic mutations and abnormal expressions) are helpful in the diagnosis, staging and the evaluation of prognosis of some diseases and cancers, e.g. liver cirrhosis, breast cancer, rectum carcinoma, etc.

Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of ureteral obstruction caused by endometriosis. Methods Out of 23 patients suffered from endometriosis treated from 1997 to 2000,ureteral obstruction occurred in 2 accompanied by hydronephrosis and dilatation of ureter.Both the 2 underwent sub total hysterectomy, resection of the intumescence in pelvic cavity, and the ureter was freed from the surrounding tissue. Results Ureteral obstruction was relieved in 7～10 days after the procedure. Both the petients were followed up for 2 years without recurrence. Conclusions Attention shoud be called to ureteral obstruction caused by endometriosis.Ultrasonic examination and intravenous pyelogram before operation, close examination of the ureter and adequate freeing of the ureter from it's surrounding tissue during operation, the application of gestrinone for 6 months after the operation, and scheduled following up would yield a satisfactory outcome.
