Based on the request for high quality talents of social development and the status quo of medical humanistic education,this article comes up with the conclusion that cultivation of humanistic spirit for medical students should be conducted from the following aspects.Firstly,humanistic spirit should be included in every link of the teaching course.Secondly,humanistic quality of the teaching staff should be strengthened.Last but not least,humanistic spirit should also be applied to the practice.

BACKGROUND: Clinical observation demonstrates that accelerated fracture healing or lower limb heterotopic ossifications always occur in patients with paraplegia. It indicates that peripheral nervous system may play an important role in fracture healing process.OBJECTIVE: To observe bone histomorphometery parameter, callus formation and biochemical change during the process of fracture healing of unilateral lower limb denervated tibia.DESIGN: Self-control animal experiment.SETTING: Tianjin Hospital.MATERIALS: Totally 36 six-month-old healthy male Wistar rats, with mean body mass of 210 g, were used in this experiment.METHODS: This experiment was carried out at Animal Experimental Center of Tianjin Hospital from March 2001 to March 2004. Denervated tibia fracture model and innervated tibia fracture model were made in the same rat. Animals were executed under anaesthetic status at week 2 and week 4 after fracture. Bilateral tibias were chosen to take radiografts.Biomachamical strength was measured and non-decalcification sections were prepared to perform bone histomorphometery observation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Comparison of wet weight of bilateral tibias and callus of rats between two groups after fracture. ②X-ray plain film scoring. ③ Biomechanical testing of tibial samples. ④ Histomorphological observation of fracture healing RESULTS: ① Wet weight of bilateral tibia and callus of rats in denervated group was much higher than that in innervated group at weeks 2 and 4 after fracture [(0.94±0.15) vs (0.76±0.14) g, (1.06±0.26)vs (0.81±0.10) g,P ＜ 0.05]. ②In X-ray plain film scoring, callus formation was significantly increased in denervated group (P ＜ 0.01). ③In biomechanical testing of three-point bending of tibial sample, callus intensity was significantly lower at weeks 2 and 4 after fracture in denervated group than in innervated group[ (9.88±8.49)vs ( 16.62±13.38 ) N, ( 12.77±7.55 )vs (20.19±10.60) N,P ＜ 0.05]. ④Bone histomorphometery showed that compared with innervated group, mineralized bone trabecula width of denervated group was significantly reduced (P ＜ 0.05), osteoid width was increased , osteoclast index and bone absorption area were significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05), and there were no significant difference of fibroblast index and bone formation area between two groups; Compared with innervated group, mineralized deposition rate in the denervated group was significantly reduced (P ＜ 0.05), the mature time of osteoid was elongated (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Peripheral nervous system may play an important role during early and middle period of fracture healing. Intact innervation is essential for normal fracture healing.

Objective: To investigate the stability of icariin, 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxy-stilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside and hyperoside in Huangmai mixture.Methods: TLC was used to identify astrogaloside IV and Morindae officinalis Radix, and HPLC was used to determine the contents of icariin, 2,3,5,4'-retrahydroxy-stilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside and hyperoside.The stability of Huangmai mixture under the conditions of accelerated testing and long-term testing was assessed.Results: Astrogaloside IV, Morindae officinalis Radix and icariin showed good stability during the accelerated testing and long-term testing.The contents of 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxy-stilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside and hyperoside declined quickly during the stability testing.Conclusion: Hyperoside and 2,3,5,4'-retrahydroxy-stilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside are unstable in Huangmai mixture.A novel solid dosage form of Huangmai should be developed to obtain better stability.

Objective To study the effects of peripheral nervous system on early and middle periods of fracture healing. Methods Denervated tibia fracture model and innervated tibia fracture model were made at the same rat. The animals were executed at day 15 and day 30 after operation respectively. Callus sizes were evaluated by radiograph. The mechanical properties of calluses were recorded in a three point bending test. The callus microstructures were measured by bone histomorphometry.Results Radiograph showed an increased callus formation in the denervated group both on day 15 and day 30 after operation (P0.05). Compared with the innervated groups, 30 days dynamic parameters indicated that mineral appositional rates of the denervated sides significantly decreased (P

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanisms for the development of cardiac hypertrophy in hypertension,the present study provided the differential protein expression analysis of hypertrophied heart at differ- ent stages in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).Methods The profiles of protein expression of left ventricu lar myocardium in SHR and its normotensive control Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats at the age of 4 and 20 weeks were analyzed with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) in combination with matrix assisted laser desorption ioniza- tion-time of flight (MALDI-TOF-TOF) mass spectrometry.Results Although the blood pressure of SHR was normal at 4 weeks age,hypertrophy of the left ventricle had already developed.The expression pattern in the hy- pertrophic myocardium was found 27 modulated proteins,20 of which were identified.These proteins are involved in reactions of energy metabolism,mitoehondrial oxidative phosphorylation and oxidative stress,etc.The expres- sion of 13 proteins was significantly changed in SHR rats at early stage prior to the development of sustained hyper- tension,while the expression changes of other 7 proteins occurred only at late stage in SHR rats when the blood pressure was significantly elevated.Conclusions lncrease in glycolysis and decrease in oxidation of fatty acid and glucose was shown in the hypertrophied myocardium from early stage in SHR prior to the development of hyperten sion.The significant changes in protein expression of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and antioxidative molecules support the hypothesis that oxidative stress promotes and accelerates the development of hypertensive car- diac hypertrophy.

Objective To investigate the lung function testing performing in normal smokers,and urge smokers to stop smoking early. Methods Two hundred and one adult men did the pulmonary function testing by MINATO AS-505 portable spirometer, and analyzed the effect d different smoking degree on the pulmonary function. Results There was no relationship between lung volume index and smoking, smoking degree. Compared with nonsmokers, the indicants such as FEV1, MVV, FEV1/FVC had decreased, and the indexes of the small airway function (PEF, FEF25%-75%)had significantly dropped in the smokers. And the smokers especially long-term smokers, most indexes of the pulmonary functions and all indexes of the small airway function correlated with smoking index. Conclusion Although smokers do not show clinical symptoms, their lung functions have been reduced, especially small airway function.

Objective To explore the expression and significance of let-7a2 in lung adenocarcinoma.Methods To adapt technology of realtime PCR with reference of U6, the expression of let-7a2 in tumor tissues and normal tissues was detected in 15 cases of resected lung adenocarcinoma. The laboratorial data were analysed by measure of 2~(-△△CT) method. The analysed data were managed by statistics. Results The expression of let-7a2 in lung adenocarcinoma tissue was significantly lower than that in lung normal tissue (0.8733±0.4821 vs 2.4527±1.0111). This difference possess markedness significance(t=6.816, P<0.001).Conclusion The expression of let-7a2 in lung adenocarcinoma is obviously lower and is concerned with the course of lung cancer evolution.

Objective To investigate the analgesic effect of oxysophoridine(OSR)and the influence of verapamil(Ver)on the antinociception of OSR when two drugs were co-administrated in mice.Methods The number of writhing within 15 min after ip different doses of OSR was observed in painful mouse mo- dels caused by acetic acid.The hot plate method was used to assess nociceptive sensitivity of CaCl_2 and Ver before ip OSR.Nitric oxide(NO)in serum was measured by spectrophotometry.Results The number of writhing was decreased and the latency of licking the hind paws was prolonged in a dose-dependent manner after ip OSR.The antinociception of OSR could be antagonized by CaCl_2 and enhanced by Ver.No inter- ference was detected in serum volume of NO.Conclusion These results suggest that OSR can antagonize the acute pain caused by acetic acid and hot plate in a dose-dependent manner in mice.Calcium channel blocker could enhance the effect of OSR.
