It has aroused extensive concern that how to check for new or after-maintenance medical instruments and keep unqualified instruments out of clinical fields.By analyzing the present situation of medical equipment checking and quality management,main problems are pointed out.The importance of medical measuring and testing is emphasized.It is suggested medical metrology management should be strengthened and the checking procedures should be improved.

Case teaching is one of the important means to improve teaching effect in the process of pharmacology teaching. According to the teaching object, teaching objectives and requirements to build one useful teaching case library about pharmacology, which can be used and shared for a long time, is the premise of case teaching in pharmacology. According to the actual situation of case teach-ing in our university, this study researched and explored the background of case library building, the basic principles of case compilation, the establishment of team, the teacher-led and the student-oriented processes of case building, and the process of sorting and summarizing cases in the case library build-ing, which promotes the reform in the pharmacology case teaching, improves teaching quality, and also provides a reference for other universities or schools and disciplines on teaching case library building.

Objective To evaluate the effects of low molecular weight heparin(LMWH)and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor(HB-EGF)on the biological function of human trophoblast in first trimester.Methods From Feb.2011 to Nov.2011,the trophoblast isolated from human first trimester chorionic villi was cultured in vitro.Based on variation of LMWH concentration,the trophoblast was classified into 0.025 U/ml group,0.25 U/ml group,2.5 U/ml group,25 U/ml group and 250 U/ml group.In the mean time,based on treatment of heparin,the trophoblast was classified into LMWH group (0.25 U/ml),HB-EGF group(10 μg/L),combination group(LMWH at 0.25 U/ml + HB-EGF at 10 μg/L)and add with DMEM as control group.Cell prolferation was assessed by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTY)test,which was showed with the mean absorbance as A value.Cell invasion was measured by transwell,which counted the number of cells migrated to the superficies inferia of filter membrane.Cell differentiation was assessed by the concentration of hCG secretion.Results Compared with control group,the trophoblast proliferation and invasion treated by LMWH at 0.025 U/ml did not show significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).When treated by LWMH at 0.25 U/ml and 2.5 U/ml,trophoblast proliferation and invasion was increased significantly(P ＜ 0.05).When LMWH at 25 U/ml and 250 U/ml,it could inhibit trophoblast proliferation and invasion(P ＜ 0.05).When compared with A value of 0.44 ± 0.04 in control group,the increased A value were 0.51 ± 0.05 in LMWH group,0.56 ± 0.04 in HB-EGF group and 0.69 ± 0.06 in combination group(P ＜ 0.05).In the transwell test,the cell number were 511 ± 78 in LMWH group,669 ± 67 in HB-EGF group and 872±64 in combination group,which were significantly higher than 405 ± 67 in control group(P ＜ 0.05),respectively.And the hCG concentration were(7143 ± 649)U/L in LMWH group,(11 762 ± 1059)U/L in HB-EGF group and(11 015 ± 1084)U/L in combination group,which showed statistical difference with(8182 ± 666)U/L in control group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion LMWH could modulate trophoblast proliferation,invasion,and differentiation.HB-EGF is one of important factors involved in effects of LMWH on trophoblast function.

Objective To study the relationship between Bcl-2/Bax protein expression and the degree of malignancy of astrocytoma.Methods Bcl-2/Bax protein expression positive rate and apoptotic cell rate were determined using immunohistochemical technique and TUNEL, in 10 normal human brain tissues and 80 human astrocytoma specimens of differently malignant degrees confirmed by pathology separatively. Results Bcl-2/Bax protein positive expression was not found in normal human brain tissues, and apoptotic cell rate was only (0 6?0 1)%. The differences of Bcl-2/Bax protein expression positive rate and apoptotic cell rate were statistically significant in the differently malignant degrees(P

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is activated trypsin-induced pancreatic and its peripheral tissue inflammation caused by their own digestion.The activation in advance of trypsinogen and the inflammation cascade in pancreatic acinar cells are thought to be a key mechanism of the onset and development of AP.Autophagy pathway acting as Ⅱ type of programmed cell death occurs in the early pathological course of AP,blockade of which contributes to aggravating necrosis of acinar cells in AP.This article mainly discussed the recent advances in the understanding of autophagy researches and its function in the mechanism of AP.

To maintain the competitive superiority,the medical english majors should optimize and construct the characteristic curriculum system in order to cultivate high-quality professionals of medical english.Taking the medical english major of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine for an example,this paper discusses the theoretic consideration and practice in constructing the characteristic ‘trinity’ curriculum system of medical english majors,hoping that more attention can be paid to its further development.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the relationship between microalbuminuria(MAU) and cardiac autonomic neuropathy in diabetes.MethodsThe urinary albumin excretion (UAE) was measured,and the cardiac autonomic function was detected using 24 hour ambulatory ECG spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) in 46 patients with diabetes and 31 normal control subjects.ResultsParameters of time and frequencydomain of HRV were reduced in patients with diabetes.The high frequency at night reflecting the cardiac vagus nerve function was significantly lower in diabetic patients than control group.In diabetic patients with MAU,the detected values of HRV were significantly decreased,combined vagosympathetic impairment occurred,and 24 hour rhythm from day to night in autonomic nervous activity disappeared.ConclusionMAU in diabetes is related with HRV.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical application of total cavopulmonary connection with off-pump technique. Methods: Between May 2000 and December 2002, 9 patients underwent total cavopulmonary connection without cardiopulmonary bypass. The patients were 5 males and 4 females, mean age (10.3?6.4) years, ranged 4～24 years and mean body surface area (0.95?0.35) m 2, range 0.65～1.66 m 2. SpO 2 before operation was (73?6)% (60%～80%). Pulmonary pressure was (12.7?2.4) mmHg (10～16 mmHg) at operation. Results: Patient died after surgery. Chylothorax occurred in 1 patient. 2 patients were reoperated for fenestration between the extracardiac conduit and right atrial during the early postoperative period. All survivors were noncyanotic, the average SpO 2 on breathing air was (94?3)% (89%～97%). On d ischarged. Conclusion: Total cavopulmonary connection with off-pump technique is a useful procedure in management of patients with a functional univentricular heart. It is easy to perform. However, much remains to be studied about this unique physiologic status.

Seventy days after inoculation of 1. 0 ? 104 M. leprae to the foot--pads,the mice were treated with home-made ofloxacin 150mg/kg daily by gavage 5 times weekly for 63 days. The results showed that M. leprae multiplied well in the foot--pads of untreated mice,but no growth of M. lepare were found in the foot-pads of the mice treated with home-made ofloxacin, imported ofloxacin or rifampin until 12 months after infection of M. leprae. Eleven newly diagnosed and untreated BL/LL patients and 2 recently relapsed patients after dapsone monotherapy were treated with home--made ofloxacin 400mg daily 6 times weekly for 12 weeks. The results showed that the skin lesions of all patients markedly improved at the end of therapy. The mean morphological index(MI) in skin smear decreased from 11. 89% before therapy to 2. 59% at the end of 2 week treatment,and to 0% at the end of 4 week treatment. The mean bacteriological index(MI) decreased from 4. 28 before therapy to 3. 90 at the end of therapy. During the therapy, 4 patients developed type Ⅱ lepra reaction, but all patients tolerated the drug well. The study showed that the therapeutic effect of home-made ofloxacin is similar to that of imported one as reported in the literature. The home-made ofloxacin can be used in multidrug therapy for leprosy.

5 mm had surgery in 100%. Conclusion Most severe CHD could be detected prenatally by fetal echocardiography, and the pregnancy should be terminated. The critical NCHD should be diagnosed by echocardiography for corrective or palliative surgery as early as possible in the first days of life. In mild cases of left to right shunts may close spontaneously, they should be followed up regularly.
