Objective To assess the perception of rehabilitation therapeutics students to their learning environment.Methods The Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) inventory was used to measure rehabilitation therapeutics education environment by investigating two hundred and forty-seven baccalaureate rehabilitation therapeutics students.Results The rehabilitation therapeutics students perceived the total education environment and four subscales which included perceptions of learning and teachers, environment, and students' academic self-perceptions as relatively satisfactory. Moreover, they perceived that the teachers were knowledgeable, the relationships between teachers and students were better, and this school was well regulations. But the scores of students' social self-perceptions was lower (15.23 ±4.16). Especially, there were some problems in learning approach and accommodations.Conclusion To take advantage of competent teachers, good teacher-student relationship, and proper regulations and overcome unfavorable factors in social activities and approaches to learning is a guarantee of good rehabilitation therapeutics education environment.

Objective To investigate the influence of age on liver histopathological feature of patients infected with chronic hepatitis B. Methods Liver biopsies were performed on 114 patients with chronic hepatitis B. The biochemical tests were measured by routine automated techniques. Serum hepatitis markers including HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-HBe, and anti-HBc were assayed by using a microparticle enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. HBV-DNA was measured with quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay. The grades of liver necrosis/inflammation and fibrosis were compared between four groups with different age: younger than 20years, 20 ~ 30, 31 ~40, and older than 40 years. Results All 114 patients had liver histological changes with different degree. 75.4 percent (89/114) of cases had 2/over 2 grades of liver necrosis/inflammation, and 47.4 percent (54/114) of cases had 2/over 2 stages of liver fibrosis.There was no significant relation between the level of ALT and age or between the level of ALT and the grades of liver necrosis/inflammation and fibrosis( P >0. 05 ). The significant difference in degrees of liver inflammation and fibrosis was found among three age groups ( x2 = 30. 86, P < 0. 01; x2 = 21.17; P <0.05 ). The grades of 1 iver inflammation and fibrosis increased with the increased age of the patients. Conclusion These results suggested that age was an independent factor for the disease progression. It was very important to undertake liver biopsy for patients with CHB more than 30 years to reveal the liver histopathological characteristics and guide the treatment.

BACKGROUND: It is believed previously that hyperbaric oxygen(HBO)therapy can prevent stroke, but some scholars think HBO therapy on the contrary can induce stroke although its pathogen and prevention are unclear.OBJECTIVE: To study the reason of cerebral thrombosis induced by HBO and the preventive effects of the medicine.DESIGN: A retrospective study based on patients as subjects.SETTING: Department of HBO in a military area command hospital ofChinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 192 hospitalized patients receiving HBO therapy in Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA were selected, in which there were 127 males and 65 females aged between 9 and 78 years old. A total of 6 cases including 3 male and 3 female cases aged between 51 and 76 years old developed cerebral thrombosis during therapy.METHODS: The background factors of 192 patients who received HBO therapy and the included 6 cerebral thrombosis cases were analyzed. Totally preventive effects of the medicine on a cluster level of different risk factor. Three groups of patients received different interventions under the prerequisites of routine medications including blood-activating and stasis-eliminating, neurotrophy, and vasodilator patients of nitric ether group received oral administration of isosorbide dinitrate or glycerin trinitrate; patients of calcium antagonist group received oral administration of Sibelium or Novarsc; and patients of no specific medication group did not receive any preventive medicine.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Patients' symptoms, physical signs andhead CT or MRI.RESULTS: The risk factor of cerebral thrombosis induced by HBO was the basic disease of hyperlipidemia or hypertension, etc. A total of 115 cases had the cluster with less than 4 risk factors and none of them developed thrombosis. A total of 31 cases had the cluster with 4 or more than 4 risk factors and 6 of them developed thrombosis with greatly increased morbidity. Above the level of 4 risk factors, nitrate ether had effective preventive effect(0/13) while there was 33.3% of the patients(5/15) in calcium antagonist group developed thrombosis, and the difference between the above two groups was significant( P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: The cluster level of risk factors has close relationship with the probability of thrombosis induced by HBO. Nitrate ether has significant preventive effects.

Objective To study the testicular breeding function and p63 expression in seminiferous tubules in androgen receptor(AR)knockout mice.Methods Eight AR knockout mice selected by Cre-lox and 8 Wistar male mice were studied.Testicular breeding function was determined by Makler score and p63 was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Seminiferous tubules inner diameter deflated in AR knockout group than in Wistar group(60.0±1.5 μm vs 92.05±2.0μm,P<0.01),peri-tube membrane thickened(4.0±0.7 μm vs 2.85=0.9 μm,P<0.01),the number of cell layer decreased(2.0±0.3 vs 4.0±0.2,P<0.01),generative eell maturation arrested(3.0±1.2 score vs 5.05±0.5 score,P<0.01),Makler score was lower(8.0±0.3 vs 16.0±0.5,P<0.01).p63 expression was lower in AR knockout group than in Wistar group and the expression was located at the stage of spermatogenous cell and spermatocyte.Conclusion Testicular breeding sperm function is damaged in AR knockout mice,lower expression of p63 mainly affects early differentiation in generative cells.

Objective:To evaluate the association of glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1 )polymorphism,smoking and alcohol drinking with oral cancer susceptibility in Asians by meta-analysis.Methods:A literature search of PubMed,Chinese BioMedical, Wanfang,VIP and CNKI databases from inception to July 30th,2013 was conducted.Crude odd ration (OR)with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI)was calculated.Results:27 case-control studies were assessed,and the results showed that the association be-tween GSTM1 null genotype and oral cancer susceptibility was significant in Asians (OR=1.31,95%CI:1.18-1.45,P<0.001), especially in South Asians (OR=1.35,95%CI:1.20 -1.52,P<0.001).Significant associations between oral cancer risk and smoking and alcohol drinking were found in East Asians (Smoking:OR=1.70,95%CI:1.36 -2.13,P<0.001;Alcohol drink-ing:OR=1.54,95%CI:1.24 -1.90,P<0.001).Conclusion:GSTM1 null genotype may be associated with increased oral cancer risk in Asians.Smoking and alcohol drinking confer significant susceptibility to oral cancer in East Asians.

The ultimate goal of post-genome research is to understand a complete set of proteins in a living organism for their expression pattern and biological function,which is called proteomics.One of the major challenges in proteome research is to study the protein-protein interactions,and the emerging bioinformatics approaches present us tremendous advantages when dealing with protein interaction networking and data analysis.Useful bioinformatics tools include protein-protein interaction network mapping,topology of the network,structure of the module and comparison of the network.The technology advancement in this field brings further understandings to the structure and function of cells at the proteome level,which may eventually lead to the discovery of new drug targets and design methods.This paper attempts to review the current researches on protein-protein interaction with an emphasis on bioinformatics intervention,and also summarizes some widely used methods for network analysis.
