The principal investigator responsibility system has been progressively under implementation at some of the domestic medical universities. However, since there are big differences between military medical universities and civilian ones in terms of organizational structures, tasks to be committed, functions and personnel systems, military medical universities have to consider own characteristics and well handle the following four pairs of relations in the process of implementing principal investigator responsibility system: the relation between the subject groups and the teaching and research sections, the relation between the subject research and the discipline construction, the relation between the subject research and the personnel training, and the relation between the collective assessment and the individual assessment in the process of performance assessment.

Objective To explore for the methede and effect of endoscopic treatment on biliary leakage and biliary duct damage. Methods All patients with biliary damage such as biliary leakage and biliary duct stricture were treated by endoscopic sphincoterotomy and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) during abdominal cavity drainage ENBD was removd when biliary leakage healed and abdominal cavity drainage ceased for 1~2 weeks were confirmed. Plastic stents were implanted to distend the biliary duct stricture for 2-3 months. Results Twenty-six patients with biliary leakage were cured 3-4 weeks after ENBD. Fourteen out of 17 patients implanted with plastic stent were recovered uneventfully after stent removed, and 4 patients also recovered after installation of double-stents for 3 months, while another case with calculus and stricture of left hepatic duct in spite of implantation of simple-stent suffered repeatedly from biliary tract infection and one case developed hepatic abscess after repeatedly infection for one year before he had the hepatic lobectomy. Conclution Endoscopic therapy is the first choice in treating biliary leakage or secondary duct stricture.

Objective To observe the effect of early rehabilitation treatment at different time point on the motor function and activity of daily living (ADL) and emotion in acute stroke patients. Methods 120 patients with acute stroke were randomly assigned to three reha-bilitation groups and one control group according to the disease course (3 days, 5 days, 8 days when the disease is steady). Each group con-sisted of 30 eases. The patients in each group were treated with the regular medication therapy, rehabilitation groups were treated with com-prehensive rehabilitation treatment including Bobath technique therapy. Neurological deficit, motor function, balance function, ADL, emo-tion of all the patients were assessed before and 21 days after rehabilitation intervention. Results After treatment, the motor function, bal-ance function, ADL and emotion of each rehabilitation group were improved. The patients'rehabilitation scores in FMA, Fugl-Meyer balance function, MBI and HRSD got much better than that in control group. The difference was statistic significant. The effect of rehabilitation treat-ment did not show difference among rehabilitation groups. Conclusion Early rehabilitation treatment for acute stroke does benefit for stroke patients. Effect does not show vary with the start time of rehabilitation treatment within 8 days after acute stroke.

Objective To explore the prediction efficiency of multilayer perception (MLP) model in prediction of diabetes mellitus (DM) complicated with coronary heart disease (CHD) by TCM personality and constitutions; To provide a new method for objective prediction. Methods This research utilized single factor logistic regression to filter out variables, which were significant factors of TCM personality and constitutions as analytic variables for MLP and multivariate logistic regression to establish TCM prediction model of personality and constitutions for DM complicated with CHD. The prediction efficiency of the above models were tested by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve). Results The sensitivity, specificity and AUC of MLP were 0.915 (0.862, 0.968), 0.846 (0.793, 0.912) and 0.913 (0.806, 0.987) respectively, which was better than the logistic regression, while these indexes of logistic regression were 0.834 (0.695, 0.953), 0.762 (0.623, 0.901), and 0.869 (0.730, 0.941) respectively. Conclusion The MLP model is better than logistic regression model in prediction of DM complicated with CHD by TCM personality and constitutions.

Journal of Southern Medical University 2017;37(3):373-377
OBJECTIVETo study the role of Beclin1 gene in autophagy and apoptosis of SW620 cells.
METHODSRNA interference was used to knockdown the expression of Beclin 1 in SW620 cells, and the cell viability was measured by MTT assays. The autophagic activity in serum-starved SW620 CRC cells was evaluated by assessing endogenous microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) protein levels using immunofluorescence assay. Flow cytometry was used to measure the apoptosis rate of SW620 cells treated with serum deprivation, staurosporine or etoposide, and the protein expression of Beclin1 was detected using Western blotting.
RESULTSThe viability of cells in pSUPER-Becl group was significantly reduced after serum deprivation (P<0.05). Serum deprivation for 24 h resulted in a stronger apoptotic resistance in cells in the control and pSUPER-non groups than in pSUPER-Becl group (P<0.05). Treatment with staurosporine the most significantly increased the cell apoptosis in pSUPER-Becl group (P<0.05), and similar effect was observed with etoposide treatment (P<0.05). As the time of serum deprivation extended, the expression of Beclin 1 in control group and pSUPER-non group increased progressively (P<0.05), which was consistent with the changes in LC3 expression; LC3 expression in pSUPER-Becl group decreased significantly with a prolonged serum starvation (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONBeclin 1 is a crucial regulator of autophagy and apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells to maintain the balance between autophagy and apoptosis. Beclin 1 may serve as a protective mechanism to protect colorectal cancer cells from injury caused by low nutrition and chemotherapy byregulating cell autophagy.
