A large coverage on-line learning and examination systems on the internet so far has not gained wide usage and application even though some systems are available commercially because those internet based systems have certain demands of capitals , technology and skilled personals .Our system is half on -line and half off line for examinations .The on-line part is for giving out examination questions and collecting answers , whereas student writ-ing exams and instructors marking the exams are carried out by going off -line.Such a exam-writing application re-duces its dependence on the internet , which is easier for exam-writers in a remote area to use .This half on-line system can be used as a back -up application for the whole on -line examination system , but definitely has more ad-vantages for hospitals in remote areas where the internet is not reliable and popular , and well-trained technicians are lacking.

Our experiment aims to compare the effects of "energy-containing lactated Ringer's solution"(EL-RS) with those of "lactated Ringer's solution" (LRS) as an initial resuscitation fluid for the treatment of traumatic shock in rabbits. Deep shock animal models were produced in 74 adult rabbits using the method of pincers pressure and Wiggers' hemorrhagic shock method to produce crush injury of the soft tissue on the thigh and comminuted fracture of the femur. Results showed that blood pressure of the experimental group rose more rapidly than control group and the survival time of the former were longer than the later. The lowering of serum lactate and blood pH etc. showed a similar difference. It is suggested that ELRS is more efficient than LRS for the treatment of traumatic shock in rabbits.

Objective To determine the expression of cathepsin D (CD), cathepsin H (CH) and cathepsin L (CL) in human primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to investigate their mechanisms. Methods The protein expression of CD, CH and CL in hepatic specimens consisted of control (n = 17), HCC (n = 37) and paracancerous (n = 28) tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. The relative values of CD, CH and CL protein expression were examined with absorbent density analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS11. 5 software. The univariate analysis was used to compare the difference among groups. Results The mean absorbance of CD, CH and CL proteins in HCC tissues (1.21± 0.33, 0. 89 ± 0.22 and 1.16± 0. 25, respectively) were significantly higher in comparison with those in control tissues (0. 19 ± 0. 07, 0. 24 ± 0. 12 and 0. 28 ± 0. 14,respectively) and in paracancerous tissues (0.27±0.13,0. 31± 0.14 and 0. 36±0.15)(all P values =0.0001). Whereas there was no difference between control and paracancerous tissues with respect to CD, CH and CL proteins (P ＞0. 05). Three proteins immunohistochemically appeared as a lot of diffused spots and stripes staining in cytoplasma of HCC tissues,but only a few scatted spots staining was found in control and paracancerous tissues. Conclusion The high expression of CD, CH and CL protein in primary HCC may be important markers for carcinogenesis and malignant progress.

The ability to pattern multiple cells through precise surface engineering of cell culture substrates has promoted the development of cellular bioassays, such as differentiation, interaction and molecular signaling pathways. There are several well developed ways to pattern cells. This report describes a method for patterning multiple types of cells based on microfluidics and self-assembled monolayers. We developed two types of micro-dam structures by soft-lithography to locate cells precisely and modified the substrate by a kind of self-assembled monolayer with property of electrochemical desorption to confine cells in specific areas. Finally we could pattern an array of two different types of cells closely and precisely. Cells were confined in specific areas but still shared the same microenvironment, so they could interact through soluble molecules. The substrate was transparent and open, so we could easily apply several instruments for research. With these merits, this cell chip is appropriate for investigating the interaction between different types of cells.

AIM: To screen and identify the differentially expressed genes in lymphocytes of patients with unstable angina in order to find the molecular mechanism of unstable angina. METHODS: Suppression subtractive hybridizations (SSH) and dot blot hybridizations were performed to screen the relatively differentially expressed genes in lymphocyte RNA between the patients with unstable angina pectoris and stable angina pectoris. The obtained expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were used as probes to perform Reverse Northern blot with forward and reverse suppression products. And the positive ESTs were performed RNA slot hybridization with unstable and stable angina group. The obtained ESTs were sequenced and analyzed using BLAST (nr) at NCBI. RESULTS: Three up-regulated ESTs in the unstable angina group, and one down-regulated EST in the stable angina group were obtained. All of them are sequences of known genes. CONCLUSION: All these ESTs may be associated with the unstablization of plaque of coronary artery in patients with unstable angina.

We developed a novel microfluidic cell chip, which enabled drug delivery, fluid control and cell co-culture. The device consisted of an array of 6x6 cell culture chambers, a drug gradient generator and fluidic control valves. Micro-dam structures of the chambers were able to trap cells while loading and drug gradient network generated drug gradient of 6 different concentrations. Also we applied hydraulic valves to control the microfluid and simulate the microenvironment of cells. We had investigated the viability of co-culturing cells in the chip and the ability for drug screening. This microfluidic cell chip has the potential in cell-based research of high throughput drug screening.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and therapeutic effect of Roux-en-Y anastomosis through a small incision in laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 34 patients who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer through Roux-en-Y anastomosis through small incisions in the Gastrointestinal and Pancreatic Surgery Department of the Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital from August 2022 to May 2023.Results:Among the 34 patients, there were 27 males and 7 females, aged (63.6±14.6)years old. All cases underwent surgery successfully and there were no cases of conversion to open surgery. The reconstruction time of the digestive tract was (30.74±3.29)minutes, the intraoperative bleeding volume was (60.29±29.59)ml, the intraoperative lymph nodes were cleaned (32.00±11.00), the incision length of the specimen was (5.88±0.98)cm, the postoperative exhaust time was (1.88±0.73)days, and the postoperative hospitalization time was (11.94±3.87)days. There were no postoperative cases of anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stenosis, bleeding, or unplanned reoperation in patients. After a postoperative follow-up of 3-12 months, there were no recurrence or death cases, and no postoperative reflux cases during the follow-up period.Conclusions:Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y anastomosis through a small incision can effectively reduce postoperative complications, especially the occurrence of postoperative reflux. In addition, this surgical procedure can simplify the surgical steps, shorten the surgical time, promote postoperative recovery, and improve postoperative quality of life.

Scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) by antioxidants is the important therapy to cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) in stroke. The antioxidant with novel dual-antioxidant mechanism of directly scavenging ROS and indirectly through antioxidant pathway activation may be a promising CIRI therapeutic strategy. In our study, a series of chalcone analogues were designed and synthesized, and multiple potential chalcone analogues with dual antioxidant mechanisms were screened. Among these compounds, the most active not only conferred cytoprotection of HO-induced oxidative damage in PC12 cells through scavenging free radicals directly and activating NRF2/ARE antioxidant pathway at the same time, but also played an important role against ischemia/reperfusion-related brain injury in animals. More importantly, in comparison with mono-antioxidant mechanism compounds, exhibited higher cytoprotective and neuroprotective potential and Overall, our findings showed compound could emerge as a promising anti-ischemic stroke drug candidate and provided novel dual-antioxidant mechanism strategies and concepts for oxidative stress-related diseases treatment.
