A teaching method called cross-disciplinary joint teaching,which integrated the neural system-based physiology,anatomy and histology from gross morphology to micmstructure,then to physiological function,was carried out on 2010 clinical eight-year program medical students.Jointteaching method was carried out throughout the whole courses.That means in three subjects related to the discipline,teachers compile the textbook,discuss teaching scheme,compile cases,collectively prepare lessons,and attend lectures and discussion together.Flexible teaching forms such as casebased teaching,problem-based teaching and bilingual teaching were also run through the whole processes of the teaching.Compared with the traditional teaching model,cross-disciplinary joint teaching not only achieves the integration of morphology,microstructure and functions of nervous system,but also has a priority of helping the students to develop a more efficient learning ability such as initiative study and thinking extension.

OBJECTIVE:To study the optimal monitoring indexes of plasma concentration of cyclosporine A(CsA) in patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.METHODS:The lowest CsA concentration(C0) and the highest CsA concentration(C2) in 23 hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients were detected by FPIA.All the data were analyzed statistically.RESULTS:Within 6 months after hematopoietic stem cell transplanttion,C0,C2,C0+C2 and C2/C0 in the recipients were(228.84?142.48) ?g?L-1,(741.50?294.42) ?g?L-1,(970.34?391.18) ?g?L-1 and(3.88?1.94) ?g?L-1,respectively.CONCLUSION:As reasonable monitoring indexes for the plasma concentration of CsA,C0+C2 and C2/C0 can comprehensively reflect the exposure of drug in body and monitor the toxicity of CsA in liver and kidney.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of dexmedetomidine combined electrical stimulation on cognitive function of neurosurgical diseases patients treated by extracerebral intervention.

METHODSTotally 122 patients with neurosurgical diseases who underwent selective intervention were randomly assigned to the observation group and the control group, 61 cases in each group. Patients in the control group recieved anesthesia by dexmedetomidine. Those in the observation group received electrical stimulation at Baihui (DU20), Yintang ( EX-HN3), and Neiguan (PC6) before dexmedetomidine anesthesia. The cognitive function of patients at preoperative day 1 and postoperative day 1 was respectively evaluated by Mini-Mental State Examinations (MMSE). Serum NSE, S-100β, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels were detected in the two groups before intervention and immediately after intervention using ELISA.

RESULTSMMSE scores of two groups were significantly reduced at post-intervention day 1, as compared with one day before intervention. MMSE score of the observation group at post-intervention day 1 was (23.15 ± 1.87) points, significantly higher than that of the control group [ (19.34 ± 1.64) points , (P < 0.05)]. The postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) incidence rate of the observation group was 16.4% (10/61), significantly lower than that of the control group [39.3% (24/61); P < 0.05]. Compared with before intervention, NSE and S-100β protein levels, IL-1β, IL-6 and α-TNF levels of the two groups increased (P < 0.05). Post-intervention NSE and S-100β protein levels, IL-1β, IL-6 and α-TNF levels were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONDexmedetomidine combied electrical stimulation could effectively prevent the occurrence of postoperative cognition, and reduce levels of NSA, S-100β, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α.

BACKGROUND: Opiate drugs are widely used to control chronic cancer pain, which brings many adverse reactions. Transplantation of sodium alginate-polylysine-alginate microencapsulated bovine adrenal chromaffin cell (BCC) has reported to be used as chronic cancer pain controllers. However, the high price and poor strength of polylysine limited its clinical application. Chitosan is characterized by sufficient resource, low price and good biocompatibility, which is a substitute for polylysine.OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of xenotransplantation of sodium alginate-chitosan-alginate (ACA) microencapsulated BCC on patients with advanced cancer pain.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A retrospective case analysis. All cases were obtained from Department of Oncology, Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Dalian University from January 2007 to December 2008.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 10 patients with advanced cancer, including 1 female and 9 males, aged 46-78 years. According to visual algetic mimic scale (VAS), 3 patients suffered moderate pain and 7 cases suffered severe pain.METHODS: Microencapsulation method was applied to encapsulate BCC with ACA membrane and transplant the microencapsulated BCC (5-7)×10~6 into the subarachnoids pace of 10 patients.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The degree of pain release, duration of analgesic effect, as well as adverse reaction.RESULTS: All 10 patients had pain relief rapidly after transplantation in varying degrees. Complete pain relief was shown in 2 cases, medium relief in 1 case, slight relief in 4 cases. Slight irritation of cauda eguina was presented after transplantation, which could disappear within 3-5 days.CONCLUSION: Xenotransplantation of ACA microencapsulated BCC into the spinal subarachnoids pace of patients with cancer pain can produce analgesic effect promptly, significantly, and safely.

Inthis study, the DNA fragment encoding the regions Ⅰ to Ⅱ of CSP gene from Plasmodium falciparm isolate FCC1/HN was cloned into an. expression vector pcDNA3 contained cytomegalovius (CMV) and transformed into human Hela cell line. The expressed protein PfCSP (condidate vaccine) was used to immunize BALB/c mice by subcutaneous、 intravenous or intraperitoneal administration respectively. The splenocyte of BALB/c mice immumized with the condidate vaccine released significantly IL-2 and IFN-γ following stimulation with this vaccine. It is associated with increase of the splenic T lymphocyte proliferation stimulated by this vaccine and enhancement of NK cell killing activity in the former studies. These results suggested that the vaccine could stimulate T cell response and enhance the cell-mediated immunity.

Objective To evaluate the effect of Da Vinci surgical system for the treatment of hepatopancreatobiliary diseases.Methods The clinical data of 29 patients with hepatopancreatobiliary diseases who had undergone operations with Da Vinci surgical system from March to November 2009 at the General Hospital of PLA were retrospectively analyzed.Results The operations were successfully done on 28 patients,except 1 patient was converted to open pancreaticoenterostomy.The total operation time was(339±149)minutes,and the time for operations done with Da Vinci surgical system was(285±117)minutes.The postoperative bowl movement recovery time was(33±21)hours,and the length of postoperative hospital stay was(8±6)days.No blood transfusion was needed.Three patients had postoperative complications and were cured by conservative treatment.Conclusion Laparoscopic operations for hepatopancreatobiliary diseases can be applied with the help of the threedimensional imaging system and flexible surgical instruments of the Da Vinci surgical system,and its superiority is more obvious when applied for intractable hepatopancreatobiliary diseases.

Objective To summarize the clinical outcome of single posterior fixation and fusion in treatment of cervical spinal fracture combined with ankylosing spondylitis.Methods A total of 26 patients with cervical spinal fracture combined with ankylosing spondylitis admitted for surgical treatment from June 2003 to June 2008 were reviewed to analyze parameters including injury mechanism,injury severity,treatment course,operation records,postoperative follow-up and rehabilitation and evaluate neurologic recovery and fracture healing by using American Spinal Injury Association(ASIA)classification.Results A single posterior surgical procedure was performed in six patients,of whom the spinal cord function were rated at grade A in two patients,at grade B in one,at grade C in two and at grade D in one according to ASIA classification criteria.All patients were treated with posterior reduction and lateral mass fixation plus fusion.Two patients at grade ASIA A died of respiratory failure at 2 and 3 months respectively after operation.The other four patients were followed up for 12-54 months(mean 37 months),which showed solid fusion at average 3.8 months after operation and significant improvement of neural function.One patient with aggravated symptoms of spinal epidural hematoma at grade ASIA B was improved to grade D postoperatively.The patients at grades C and D recovered to normal.Hyponatremia occurred in two patients at grade ASIA A.There was no instrumentation related complications in all patients.Conclusions For cervical spinal fractures combined with ankylosing spondylitis without bone defect at fracture end,lateral mass fixation and autologous bone graft through a single posterior approach can attain stable fracture healing after sound reduction.

Objective To investigate the prottective effect of ulinstatin on lung of rats with sepsis and its mechanism of ameliorating cell apoptosis. Method A total of 40 female SD rats were randomly (random number)divided into the control group and the therapy group (ulinastatin 300 000 u/kg). The rat models of sepsis were produced by the classical method of cecal ligature and puncture (CLP), and the designed doses ulinastatin were given intra-peritoneally to the rats of the ulinastatin group and the same amounts of PBS (phosphate buffered solution) instead of ulinastatin were administered intra-peritoneally to the rats of the control group when the sepsis symptoms appeared usually in 3 hours after modeling. In 12 hours after treatment, lung tissues of rats in two groups were taken for observation under the transmission electron microscopy and detecting the levels of Bcl-2 and Bax protein in lung tissues by using immunohistochemical technique. The levels of the integrated optical density(IOD)of Bcl-2 and Bax protein were detected by using Image-pro plus software and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was calculated. Results Transmission electron microscope showed that lung tissue in control group had inflmmatory changes such as severe congestion and consolidation, and those changes in ulinastatin treatment group (300 000 u/kg)were significantly slighter. There were significant differences in the levels of antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 in lung tissue of rats between two groups(P＜0.01), and the level of protein Bcl-2 in ulinas tatin group were higher than those in control group. The level of pro-apoptotic protein Bax in control group were higher than that in ulinastatin group (P＜0.01). The ratio of Bcl-2/Bax in ulinas tatin group was higher than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Ulinastatin has protective effect on lung tissue in septic rats, and it may inhibit the inflammatory response and in the same time plays a role in inhibiting cell apoptosis.
