As a characteristic tumor therapy in China, Chinese medicine (CM) plays an important position in comprehensive treatment of tumor. It's a critical issue of objective realization, analysis and evaluation of CM safety for scientific decision-making in tumor safe medication and it also is a pivotal issue which affects the international communication. The safety evaluation of CM includes three phases: pre-clinical safety evaluation, clinical trials (micro-dose studies and traditional clinical trials) and post-marketing CM safety assessment. The key point of evaluation should be distinguished among different stages and various types of CM (such as classic formulas, Chinese herbal extracts, etc). Emphasis should be given to chronic toxicity when evaluating oral Chinese herbal , microdose studies and quality control must be underlined while injection is evaluated and more attention should be pay to the dose-effect relationship and time-effect relationship when turned to toxic Chinese medicine , and so as for the toxicity grading study. Moreover, we should constantly improve CM safety assessment method in various stages of tumor treatment, such as introducing the concept of syndrome classification theory, bringing in metabonomics and real-world research method which are similar to the CM therapeutic concept. Most importantly, we must keep its own feature of CM theory when we learn the concept of safety evaluation from abroad. Actively exploring the anti-tumor medicine safety evaluation methods and strategies is of great significance for clinical and experimental research, and it can provide supportability platform to CM's international communication.

OBJECTIVETo compare the shear bond strength(SBS) of cast Co-Cr alloys and selective laser melting(SLM) Co-Cr alloys with those of dental porcelain.

METHODSA dental porcelain (Vita) was applied on cast and SLM Co-Cr alloy specimens (n = 10). SBS test was conducted, and fracture mode analysis was determined. Student's t-test by SPSS 13.0 software was employed to analyze the data.

RESULTSThe SLM Co-Cr alloy specimens had lower SBS values than the cast Co-Cr alloy specimens (P > 0.05). The metal-porcelain bond strength value of the cast group was (33.11 +/- 4.98) MPa, and that of the SLM group was (30.94 +/- 5.98) MPa. The specimens in both test groups exhibited mixed failure.

CONCLUSIONThe metal-porcelain system processed by SLM exhibit a bond strength that is similar to that of the cast group. This system also display a high precision.

OBJECTIVETo explore significance of preoperative color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) for screening deep vein thrombosis in upper limbs fracture.

METHODSFrom January 2009 to December 2011, 1200 patients with upper limb fracture caused by trauma were respectively analyzed. There were 833 males and 367 females,ranging from 20 to 78 (mean 41.94 +/- 15.41) years. All patients had swelling and pain in injured limbs when enrolled. CDFI was used to examine upper limbs vein at 3 to 10 d after improvement of swelling, 1 day before reduction. Relationship among occurrence of thrombosis, gender, age and fracture sites were analyzed. Patients with DVT were analyzed with respective study to decide whether combined with diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

RESULTSAll patients were checked by CDFI,which confirmed 9 cases with DVT. The rate of thrombosis was 0.75%, women than men (P < 0.01). The risk of blood clots occurred over 30 years, and the occurrence of thrombosis in humerus fracture was higher than radius ulnar fracture. One of 9 patients combined with hypertension and hyperlipidemia, 1 case combined with diabetes, and 7 cases with no complication.

CONCLUSIONUpper trauma fracture may occur deep vein thrombosis; CDFI should be used to check DVT in qualified hospital,which can maintain medical safety,decrease occurrence of medical disputes, and ganrantee patient's safety.

Objective To investigate the brain protective effect of isoflurane preconditioning on the rat liver against ischemia-reperfusion through determining the content of S-100β protein in peripheral blood in combination with mitochondrial ultrastructure in rat brain.Methods A total of 45 SD rats were randomly divided into three groups,sham group (group S):the only separation of the hepatoduodenal ligament,but did not block the hepatic portal blood supply; ischemia-reperfusion group (group I/R):liver ischemia 60min,reperfusion 120 min; isoflurane preconditioning group (group ISO):60 min before liver I/R,ISO pretreatment for 30 min,elution in the air after 30 min; 24 h after recirculation the forebrain tissues were rapidly removed.The changes of mitochondrial ultrastructure were observed by electron microscopy.The content of S-100β protein in serum was measured before ischemia and reperfusion 120 min through the application of Elisa kit.Results Marked swelling of mitochondria with disrupted cristae and damaged matrix were observed in group I/R,while relative intact mitochondria were seen in sham and ISO groups.The content of S-100β protein in serum was significantly higher in I/R group [(1.52 ±0.26) μg/ml] than in sham [(0.31 ±0.05)μg/ml] and ISO [(0.79 ± 0.21) μg/ml] groups (P ＜0.05).Conclusions The liver ischemia-reperfusion may injure the brain of the rat and isoflurane preconditioning can protect the rat brain from injury.

Based on the performance management theories and methods, the factors affecting clini-cal teachers' teaching motivation were analyzed in domestic university affiliated hospitals. In consideration of the functional position of university affiliated hospitals and the responsibilities of clinical teachers, the Delphi, KPI and other methods were used to identify key index and respective weight of teaching perfor-mance evaluation, therefore the teaching performance evaluation system including teaching load, teaching quality and teaching capacity in three dimensions were constructed. Then this index system was applied to a university affiliated hospital as an example to verify its feasibility, scientificity and effectiveness. Further-more, the evaluation system was embedded to information platform of educational administration manage-ment, and was proved as a useful teaching performance information management tool that provided reference for hospital performance payment distribution, title evaluation and recommendation, and teaching awards evaluation at all levels, etc. Consequently, theoretical and methodological references were provided for improving clinical teachers' teaching enthusiasm.

Objective To evaluate the effect of transnasal optic nerve decompression for traumatic optic neuropathy in different surgery time. Methods The databases of the Cochrane library, Embase, PubMed, Wanfang Database, China Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), Weipu Database(VIP) were searched for retrospective studies and clinical controlled trials. The search words included traumatic optic neuropathy, TON, eye traumas, transnasal endoscopicoptic decompression, TEOND, decompression of optic canal and endoscopy. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the data were extracted. The RevMan 5.3 was used to analyze the data. Results All of 1 087 studies were detected. Sixteen eligible studies were enrolled, including 803 eyes. Meta analysis showed that the recovery degree of visual acuity, curative effect in operation group within 7 d of trauma was obviously superior to the operation group 7 d after trauma (OR=2.78;95%CI:2.02-3.82;P<0.01). Conclusions Transnasal endoscopic optic nerve decompression in treatment of traumatic optic neuropathy should be operated as soon as possible, and it is better to operate within 7 d.

Objective:To investigate the possibility for human papillomavirus (HPV)infection to be a predictable signal for the carcinogenesis of oral mucosa by comparing the prevalences of HPV in each stage of oral mucosal carcinogenesis and to compare the sensitivity differences of the two methods in de-tecting HPV infection in oral cavity.Methods:The hybrid capture (HC-Ⅱ)was used to detect infection of HPV in 255 samples taken from 1 2 cases of healthy oral mucosa,21 1 cases of patients with pathologi-cal diagnosis and 32 cases of patients with clinical diagnosis.The diagnosed cases included 8 cases of be-nign lesions of the oral mucosa,precancerous lesions [74 cases of oral leukoplakia (OLK)with hyper-plasia and 42 cases of OLK with oral epithelial dysplasia (OED)],91 cases of precancerous condition
[oral lichen planus (OLP)]and 28 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).And in situ hybri-dization (ISH)was used to detect infection of HPV in 33 cases of OSCC and 76 cases of OLK,including 30 cases of hyperplasia,1 5 cases of mild OED,1 5 cases of moderate OED and 1 6 cases of severe OED. Results:The prevalence of HPV in OLP samples was higher (1 2.1 2%,8/66 )than that of OLK (2.59%,3/1 1 6)(χ2 =4.666,P=0.031 )and OSCC(7.1 4%,2/28,χ2 =0.51 3,P=0.474).The prevalence of HPV in OSCC (7.1 4%,2/28)was higher than that of OLK (2.59%,3/1 1 6),and no significant difference was found.There was only one case of smoke spot and statistical analysis was not carried out.ISH was used to detect type 1 6/1 8 and type 31 /33 HPV DNA in 1 09 cases of oral mucosal lesions in paraffin sections and only one case of OSCC was HPV positive.Thirty-seven cases were detec-ted by HC-Ⅱ and ISH methods at the same time.The same negative results by the two methods were found in 94.6% samples (35/37).In the other two samples,one was OSCC with early infiltration and the other was OLK with hyperplasia,The HC-Ⅱ results were positive while the ISH results were nega-tive.The patients with OLP and HPV testing results were followed up and the average follow-up period was (36.2 ±1 0.5)months.It was found that three of them had a malignant transformation,and the ma-lignant transformation rate of HPV positive patients was 1 2.50% (1 /8),which was higher than that of HPV negative patients (3.45%,2/58),and the difference was not statistically significant,P=0.249. Conclusion:HC-Ⅱ assay was more sensitive in detecting HPV infection of oral mucosal lesions than ISH.The results of this study showed that there was insufficient evidence for taking HPV infection as a predictor of OLK carcinogenesis.Patients suffering from OLP were in a precancerous condition.The pre-valence of HPV in OLP patients of this study was higher than that in OLK and OSCC patients,suggesting that for some reason,OLP patients were susceptible to HPV.HPV testing can be considered as routine in patients with OLP,and HC-Ⅱassay was recommended.And patients with OLP and HPV positive should be followed up regularly.

AIM: To elucidate the mechanism of polydatin(PD) in increasing the contractility of myocardial cells by observing the cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca 2+ ]i) of myocardial cells of rats. METHODS: The cells were labelled with fluo-3-AM, and [Ca 2+ ]i was determined by use of confocal microscopy (ACAS 570). RESULTS: In the study, we found that [Ca 2+ ]i of myocytes was elevated 10min after adding PD (0.6 mmol/L), but [Ca 2+ ]i of some cells increased to 111.80%?2.22% vs baseline, the others to 224.00%?24.33%. The effect of PD was inhibited remarkably by pretreated with EGTA(2mmol/L), verapamil (50 ?mol/L), a kind of L-calcium channel antagnist, and tetrodotoxin ( 1 ?mol/L), a kind of sodium channel blocker 10 min before PD, the fluorescence value were decreased to 53.00%?9.02% , 52.00%?7.07% and 72.67%?12.70% respectively vs baseline (P
