Objectives To explore the effect of the standardized residents training method on intern teaching in department of respiratory. Methods Sixty interns of Grade 2010 from the Second Military Medical School were randomly divided into 2 groups with 30 interns each. The traditional teaching method was adopted in control group, while the standardized residents training method was used in experiment group. When the rotating internship was finished in department of respiratory, the survey of satisfaction about teaching and the assessment of teaching effect were performed in two groups. The contents of examination included academic knowledge exam, clinical skills test, basic skills test and comprehensive quality assessment. Results There was no difference between two groups in academic knowledge exam (P>0.05). The total scores, clinical skills scores and basic skills scores of experiment group were higher than those of control group (P<0.05). And, higher satisfaction was ac-quired in experiment group(P<0.05). Conclusions Using the standardized residents training method can improve the effect of the intern teaching and teaching satisfaction and it can be widely applied in intern teaching.

Objective To evaluate the application of mobile ultrasonoscope in earthquake rescue. Methods According to the characteristic of environment and traumatic conditions in earthquake area, the mobile ultrasonoscope was used to diagnose for clinicians, and the advantages and disadvantages were evaluated. Results The mobile ultrasonoscope played an important role in routine diagnosis, such as organic injury and calculus, superficial organellae injury, soft tissue injury, injury of limbs and blood vessels, gynaecology and obstetrics and so on. As far as certain conditions were conferred in which the mobile ultrasonoscope was seldom used to diagnose in common practice, it played a dramatic role too in bone fracture, joint damage, craniocerebral injury and foreign objects. Conclusion In routine diagnosis or certain conditions, the mobile ultrasonoscope is very practical, especially in earthquake rescue.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effects of lung protective ventilation on acute lung injury caused by chest trauma and seawater.Methods: Acute lung injury was induced in 18 healthy dogs by open pneumothorax and seawater and the dogs were then randomly divided into 3 groups: non-treatment group(received no treatment),common treatment group(nasal ventilation,thoracic drianage and intravenous 5% glucose solution) and lung protective ventilation group(mechanical ventilation,thoracic drianage and intravenous 5% glucose solution).Blood samples were taken at different time points to observe the changes of blood gas(PaO_(2),PaCO_(2)and PaO_(2)/FiO_(2)),hemodynamic parameters(heart rate,mean blood pressure,cardiac output) and cytokines(TNF-?,IL-4 and IL-8).Results: After injury,PaO_(2) declined significantly in the dogs,PaO_(2)/FiO_(2) was lower than 300 and the levels of TNF-?,IL-6 and IL-8 were increased obviously.PaO_(2),PaO_(2)/FiO_(2) and TNF-? level were significantly higher in lung protective ventilation group than those in common treatment group(P

0. 05) . Conclusion Despite immersing in seawater and in freshwater worsen the ALI after open chest trauma,the ALI induced by seawater-immersion is severer than that caused by freshwater-immersion. It is attributed to higher plasma osmotic pressure and abundance of salts after seawater immersion,which increasing the pulmonary penetration index and aggravating the inflammatory response.

Objective To compare the three-dimensional eephalometric and three-dimensional CT measurements of adult zygomatic complex among a Sanjiang population.Methods 120 female natives of Sanjiang region from Chinese Han between 19 to 23 years of age (mean 21.4 years),were randomly selected from students of Jiamusi University.Three-dimensional cephalometric and CT measurements of the face and skull were taken,with reference to zygomatic size measurement by Prof.Qi Zuo-liang,for the comparative study, which included the upper,mid and lower facial width followed by the length,width and angle of malar process,and width of the facial bone.Statistical analysis was done with the obtained measurements.Results Three-dimensional CT analysis showed facial width ratio of 0.83 and 0.79 and skeletal facial profile width ratio of 0.81 and 0.77,respectively,when compared with three-dimensional cephalometric analysis that showed facial width ratio of 0.84 and 0.77.Both values showed no statistical significance (P>0.05).Conclusion Three-dimensional CT measurement as the same to three-dimensional cephalometric can be used in the diagnosis of prominent malar complex.

Objective To investigate the status of invasive fungal infection(IFI)associated with hematopathy,and evaluate drug resistance and risk factors of fungal infection.Methods 1 246 cases of infection occurred in patients in a hospital from 2006 to 2010 were analyzed retrospectively,pathogenic features and risk factors of IFI were ana-lyzed.Results There were 281 cases of fungal infection,and 162 fungal isolates were isolated,the main infection site was respiratory tract(134 isolates,82.72%).Four major Candida were Candida albicans ,Candida tropicalis , Candida glabrata ,and Candida krusei ;in 2006-2009,the main fungi were Candida albicans ,while in 2010,the majority were non-Candida albicans .The resistant rates of four isolated Candida to fluconazole and itraconazole were 5.15% and 4.41 % respectively,6 isolated Candida krusei strains were all resistant to both fluconazole and itraconazole,voriconazole-resistant strain was not found.The independent risk factors for fungal infection were dia-betes and duration time of agranulocytosis>14 days.Conclusion The proportion of infection caused by non-Candi-da albicans increased obviously,fluconazole-and itraconazole-resistant non-Candida albicans strains have emerged, comprehensive measures should be adopted to prevent IFI actively and treat patients early.

OBJECTIVE:To study chemical compounds of Monoraphidium dybowskii,and to investigate the in vitro antibacte-rial and antioxidant activities of isolated compounds. METHODS:The ethanol extract of M. dybowskii were extracted with aether petrolei,ethyl acetate and n-butyl alcohol. The ethyl acetate extract was separated from M. dybowskii and chemical components were analyzed by sillica gel column chromatogram,HPLC and GC-MS. Their structures were identified according to physicochemi-cal properties and NMR. MIC of 4 isolated compounds to Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Candida albicans,Bacillus subtilis and Esche-richia coli were determined by resazurin disc test. Free radical scavenging rate(concluated by IC50)and reducing capacity were mea-sured by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-diazanyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. RESULTS:Compounds 1-6 were obtained from E4 and E5 segments of ethyl acetate extract of M. dybowskii,and their structures were identified as stigmas-terol,diisonoyladipate,indole-3-carboxylic acid,(+)-epiloliolide,(-)-loliolide,5-hydroxy-3,4-dimethy-5-pentyl-2(5H)-furanone. MIC of compounds 3-6 were 10-500 μg/mL,and IC50 ranged 22.02-71.01 μg/mL;FRAP ranged (62.04 ± 5.36)-(281.22 ± 8.3) μmol/L. CONCLUSIONS:M. dybowskii contains multiple lipid and alkanoic acid,and possesses certain in vitro antibacterial and antioxidant activities.

Objective To investigate the effects of dexamethasone on absorption of lung edema in rabbits with seawater drowning-induced acute lung injury.Methods Seawater(4 ml/kg body weight)was instilled into the lower trachea of ventilated and anesthetized rabbits.These rabbits were assigned randomly to receive intravenous injection of 1 mg/ kg body weight of dexamethasone(dexamethasone group,DG)or 2 ml of normal saline(control group,CG).Lung edema was measured by extravascular lung water index(EVLWI)using a gravimetric method.Three hours after treatment, epithelial Na~+ channel subunit-?(?-ENaC)mRNA and Na~+/K~+-adenosine triphosphatase subunit-?l(NKA-?l) protein abundances in lung tissues were respectively measured by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting,and NKA activity was measured by monitoring the release of inorganic phosphate(Pi)from adenosine triphosphate(ATP).Results The DG's EVLWI was significantly lower than the CG's[(0.508?0.089)vs.(0.648?0.102),P＜0.05)],but the DG's NKA activity,?-ENaC mRNA and NKA-?l protein abundances were significantly higher than the CG's,correspondingly(P＜0.05).Conclusions With up-regulation of the NKA activity and expressions of?-ENaC and NKA-?l,dexamethasone treatment could promote the absorption of lung edema in rabbits with seawater drowing-induced acute lung injury.

Objective To explore the effects of hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) on the inflammatory reaction and the expression of single immunoglobin IL-1 receptor related protein (SIGIRR) in rats with acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods Forty male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (normal group, H2 S group, ALI group and ALI + H2 S group). The ALI rat model was established by LPS peritoneal injection. After LPS stimulation for 1 h, rats inhaled H2 S 80mg /m3 for 6h. Then, rats were sacrificed with a supraphysiological dose of pentobarbital sodium. The histological changes in the lung, the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in serum and lung tissue homogenates, and the protein expression of SIGIRR in lung tissues were examined. Results Compared with the normal and H2 S groups, typical histological features of ALI were observed in ALI group, and the lung injury scores of ALI group were higher than those of the normal and H2 S groups (P ＜ 0. 05). Moreover, there were marked increases in the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in serum and lung tissue homogenates after LPS injection. In contrast, inhalation of H2 S could attenuate lung pathological changes and inhibit the productions of TNF-α and IL-1β in serum and lung tissue homogenates (P ＜ 0. 05). Additionally, inhalation of H2 S could induce the protein expression of SIGIRR in rat lung tissues. Conclusion Inhalation of H2 S protected rats from LPS-induced ALI and its mechanisms were partially associated with inhibition of the productions of TNF-α and IL-1β and modulation of SIGIRR expression.

OBJECTIVETo explore the value of ¹⁸F-FDG PET-CT in evaluating bronchial mucosa involvement in patients with saroidosis.

METHODSA retrospective analysis was conducted among 6 sarcoidosis patients with and 14 patients without bronchial mucosa involvement to collect the data including the standard uptake value (SUVMax/Mean) of ¹⁸F-FDG, serum angiotensin converting enzyme (sACE), and proportion of lymphocytes and CD4⁺/CD8 ⁺ T lymphocyte ratio in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF).

RESULTSThe lung focal SUV(Max/Mean) was higher in patients with bronchial mucosa involvement than those without (7.04 ± 5.83/5.00 ± 4.69 vs 5.68 ± 3.66/3.82 ± 2.39), but such differences were not statistically significant (P=0.565/0.495). The SUV(Max/Mean) of the hilum of the lung and the mediastina lymph nodes were significantly higher in patients with bronchial mucosa involvement (13.28 ± 5.57/10.48 ± 4.43 vs 6.20 ± 1.77/4.52 ± 1.43, P=0.0003/0.0002; 13.84 ± 4.35/9.69 ± 2.74 vs 7.16 ± 2.52/5.28 ± 1.77, P=0.0004/0.0004). The level of sACE and CD4⁺/CD8 ⁺ T lymphocyte ratio in BALF were also significantly higher in patients with bronchial mucosa involvement (60.58 ± 16.3 vs 49.16 ± 13.3 IU/L, P=0.045; 7.30 ± 5.0 vs 2.90 ± 3.1, P=0.026). The proportion of lymphocytes in BALF was comparable between the patients with and without bronchial mucosa involvement (44.10 ± 10.3% vs 35.30 ± 12.5%, P=0.148).

CONCLUSIONSFor patients with saroidosis, ¹⁸F-FDG PET-CT is useful in evaluating bronchial mucosa involvement, which is one of the key features of active sarcoidosis.
