A total of 120 medical students were surveyed to investigate the current status of communication between medical students and old patients and the awareness of medical laws. The questionnaire shows many students don't have enough knowledge of communication skills and medical laws. Furthermore, the most important reason of the medical disputes is the lack of communication between doctors and patients so the cultivation of communication skills and legal knowledge should be strengthened.

Objective To study the effects of pulmonary function training on the lung function and surgical tolerance of lung cancer patients with different degrees of obstructive ventilatory defect.Methods Pulnonary function training was performed with 103 lung cancer patients with obstructive ventilatory defects (26 mild cases,53 moderate cases,24 severe cases).The duration of the intensive training was 5-7 days.Vital capacity (VC),vital capacity percentage (VC％),forced vital capacity (FVC),forced vital capacity percentage (FVC％),forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1),percentage of the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1％),maximum voluntary ventilation percentage (MVV％),peak expiratory flow percentage (PEF％),fraction of the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1/FVC),and maximum mid-expiratory flow percentage (MMEF％) were measured before and after the training.Any postoperative complications were recorded.Results The average MMEF％ improved significantly among the moderate patients after their training.Eventually 19/26 patients (73.08％) in the mild group,34/53 patients (64.15％) in the moderate group,and 8/24 patients (33.33％) in the severe group met the requirements to undergo lung operations.These were significant differences among the groups.Among those operated on,27 (44.26％) suffered from postoperative complications,a significantly higher percentage than among the normal controls (20.00％).Conclusion Lung function exercises can improve the operation tolerance of lung cancer patients with obstructive ventilation dysfunction,but the risk of operating is still much higher than for patients with normal ventilation function.

Objective To explore the changes of serum nitric oxide(NO) and trace element Zinc in children with pneumonia and their clinical significance.Methods The observing group contained 48 patients with pneumonia in our hospital from Oct.2005 to May 2006,who were collected 3 mL of blood sample on empty stomach on the second day.Twenty-six of them had been collected serum during their convalescence stage.The control group contained 20 children,who were healthy in the same stage.The levels of NO of 48 pneumonia,26 convalescence stage(recovery group) and 20 healthy patients were determined by UV-2100 spectrophotometer.The Zinc in serum was determined by P-E503-mode atomic absorption spectrophotometric analysis antigenic in those patients.Blood viscosity was measured and analyzed with the statistic analysis SPSS 10.0 software.Results The levels of NO in pneumonia children[(57.76?19.41) ?mol/L] were significantly higher than that in control group [(25.09?5.51) ?mol/L] and recovery group[(30.08?8.05) ?mol/L](P_a

Objective To compare the accuracy of jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2),somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) and motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in estimation of the occurrence of intraoperative cerebral ischemia in patients undergoing clipping of intracranial aneurysm.Methods Forty-three ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 18-64 yr,with a body mass index of 20-25 kg/m2,undergoing clipping of intracranial aneurysm,were studied.Anesthesia was induced with sufentanil,rocuronium and propofol.The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated.Anesthesia was maintained with remifentanil and propofol.Blood samples were taken from the jugular bulb for detection of SjvO2 before aneurysm clipping or temporary occlusion of parent artery and at 1,3,10,20 and 30 min after clipping aneurysm or temporary occlusion of parent artery.The amplitude and latency of SSEPs and MEPs were recorded simultaneously.The occurrence of cerebral ischemia estimated by SjvO2,SSEPs and MEPs was recorded.The condition of nerve defect was recorded within 3 days after operation and the gold standard of cerebral ischemia was defined as the occurrence of nerve defect.Results Among 43 patients,14 cases were diagnosed as having brain ischemia.The sensitivity and specificity of SjvO2 in estimation of the occurrence of intraoperative brain ischemia were 71％ and 93％,respectively (P ＜ 0.01).The sensitivity and specificity of SSEPs in estimation of the occurrence of intraoperative brain ischemia were 71％ and 62％,respectively (P ＜ 0.05).When the diagnostic criterion of cerebral ischemia was defincd as a decrease in the amplitude of MEPs or prolongation of the latency MEPs,the sensitivity and specificity of MEPs in estimation of the occurrence of intraoperative brain ischemia were 79 ％ and 52 ％,respectively (P ＞ 0.05).When the diagnostic criterion of cerebral ischemia was defined as a loss of the amplitude of MEPs,the sensitivity and specificity of MEPs in estimation of the occurrence of intraoperative brain ischemia were 57％ and 93％,respectively (P ＜0.05).Conclusion The sensitivity of SjvO2 and SSEPs in estimation of the occurrence of intraoperative brain ischemia is higher,however,the specificity of SjvO2 and MEPs is higher,indicating that SjvO2 is a reliable criteria for estimation of the occurrence of intraoperative brain ischemia in patients undergoing clipping of intracranial aneurysm.

Orobanche caerulescens is an important medicinal resource in Orobanchaceae. The present study aims to establish methods for determination of acteoside, crenatoside, and total phenylethanoid glycosides in O. caerulescens, and determine the content in 15 samples to evaluate the resource utilization of this medicinal plant. The content of acteoside and crenatoside were quantitatively determined by HPLC, while total phenylpropanoid glycosides was estimated by UV-VIS spectrophotometry. According to the results, the content of acteoside was the highest in O. caerulescens, followed by crenatoside. The contents of acteoside, crenatoside, and total phenylethanoid glycosides were between 1.15% - 15.60%, 0.83% - 4.47%, and 6.78% - 27.43%, respectively, which had significant differences. The acquisition time has great influence on the content of main components of O. caerulescens. The content of phenylethanoid glycosides is higher in the samples which were collected at the flowering stage. The two determination methods were proved to be simple, accurate and reliable, and can be used to evaluate the quality and resource utilization of O. caerulescens.

OBJECTIVETo study the selective dilatation effects of iptakalim (Ipt) on basilar and pulmonary arterioles, and endothelial cell function of these arterioles in hypoxic rats.

METHODSSD male rats were divided into 2 groups:control and hypoxic group fed in normobaric hypoxic environment (O2 7.8%, 8 h). Arteriole rings about (204 + 5) pm were isolated and the tension of hypoxic arterioles pre-contracted by 6 nmol/L endothelin-1 (ET-1) was observed with wire myograph system model (DMT 610 m). The relaxing response of hypoxic arterioles induced by different concentration of Ipt were detected and endothelial activity was also tested by acetylcholine.

RESULTS10(5) mol/L acetylcholine (ACh)-mediated vasodilatation of basilar and pulmonary arterioles was greatly reduced in the hypoxic group than those in control group (P < 0.05). Compared with normal group, a novel ATP-sensitive potassium channel opener Ipt at the concentration ranging from 10(-11) mol/L to 10(3) mol/L, caused stronger dose dependent vasodilatation on hypoxic pulmonary arterioles, and there was no significant difference between control and hypoxic basilar arterioles.

CONCLUSIONThe endothelial function of basilar and pulmonary arterioles was damaged under hypoxic state, and Ipt selectively increased dilatation effects on hypoxic pulmonary arterioles, but not on hypoxic basilar arterioles which could improve high altitude pulmonary edema pathological state and be the novel drug in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.
