Objective To investigate the employment status of higher vocational medical col-lege graduates in Hainan province, analyze the existing employment problems, and put forward some effective suggestions. Methods A questionnaire was applied to survey the employment problems of 1 048 medical graduate in 11 medical related field of Grade 2012. A total of 989 valid questionnaires were collected. The questionnaires covered six aspects including graduates' basic information, their employment intention, access to employment information channel, service and satisfaction about school employment agencies, and employment psychology etc. SPSS 13.0 was used to analyze the statistical numbers in each option and the percentage was calculated. Results Only 22.9%(227/989) of the graduates were willing to accept the provincial employment, 49.1%(486/989) of the graduates obtained employment information channels through the school employment sector; 10.6%(105/989) of gradu-ates expressed dissatisfaction with employment services; graduates' entrepreneurial intention reached 26.9%(267/989); only 19.8% of graduates signed employment agreement, and 25.1%(248/989) of gradu-ates face the employment with anxiety and confusion. Conclusion The higher vocational medi-cal graduates in Hainan provinces need to change their employment concept and school employment guidance needs strengthening to link up the employer position requirements and expectations of grad-uates employment. Besides, the school enrollment professional settings and employment market demand also need to be linked up, to guarantee the system interface between career guidance, internship and training base.

Objective To determine the pathway of macrophage metalloelastase (MME)generate active angiostatin by decomposing plasminogen and its effect on inhibiting growth of tumor and microvessel density (MVD) in vivo in mouse models. Methods The recombined plasmid pEGFPC1-MME was constructed. Thirty mice were subcutaneously inoculated with CT-26 cells that were stably transfected with pEGFP-C1-MME (MME-transfected group), 30 with CT-26 cells transfected with empty vector pEGFP-C1 (vector-transfected group) and 30 with CT-26 cells (non-transfected group). Radioiodination and radioisotope tracer were used to explore the pathway of angiostatin generation in vivo. Results SDS-PAGE electrophoresis analysis revealed that, in the PAGE gel contained the protein with molecular weights of 35 000 and 38 000, radioactivity in MME-transfected group was significantly higher than vector-transfected and non-transfected groups (P = 0. 00).Western blotting analysis demonstrated two bands containing 35 000 and 38 000 fragments in three groups. Quantification of the protein signals by image analysis revealed that the levels of 35 000 and 38 000 fragments were obviously increased in MME-transfected group (9.32±1.52 and 5.61±2.24,respectively) than those in vector-transfected (2.47 ± 0.23 and 0. 67 ± 0. 12, respectively) and nontransfected (1.21±0. 69 and 0. 86 ± 0.44, respectively) groups (P= 0.00). The average value of MVD and fluorescent express of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were lower in MMEtransfected group when compared with those in vector-transfected and non-transfected groups (P =0.00). The average tumor size in MME-transfected group was small in comparison with vectortransfected and non-transfected groups (P= 0.00). Conclusions MME is demonstrated to be one of matrix metalloproteinase that closely related with angiostatin production and has inhibitory effect on tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice.

Objective To investigate clinical presentations,laboratory examinations,magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearances and treatment of hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis (HCP).Methods The clinical data of 13 patients with HCP receiving comprehensive therapy in Huashan Hospital from January 2007 to January 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Results The onset of HCP was mostly chronic with an average duration of 26.7 months.The main clinical manifestations of the 13 patients were chronic headaches (12/13) and cranial nerve paralysis (12/13).Inflammation markers and cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) protein levels increased in patients with HCP and gradually became normal after the treatment.The MRI demonstrated local or diffused thickened dura located in tentorium (10/13),falx cerebrum (5/13),frontal lobe (4/13),temporal lobe (7/13) and parietal lobe (4/13).The signal intensity was isointense on T1-weighted MR images and hypointense on T2-weighted MR images.Enhanced MR images showed conspicuous enhancement of the dural edges.Corticosteroid therapy improved the clinical symptoms in 12 of 13 patients.Conclusions HCP typically causes headache and paralysis of multiple cranial nerves.Enhanced MRI shows characteristic manifestations.At present corticosteroid therapy is the treatment of choice followed by immunosuppressive agent and radiotherapy.
