Medullary thyroid carcinoma originates from parafollicular cells. Its prognosis is worse than that of differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Surgery is the best treatment for early stage diseases. In the past decade, dominant activating mutations in the RET pro-oncogene have been identified as the main cause of MTC. Mutation analysis of the RET proto-oncogene has been used in the early diagnosis, prophylactic surgery and targeted therapy of MTC.

Objective The text is to discuss the value of joint detection of serum cystatin C(CysC)and homocysteine(Hcy)in early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy.Methods According to the Urine Trace Albumin Excretion Rate (UAER),divided 120 dia-betic patients to pure diabetic patient group and early-stage diabetic patient group,and 60 healthy cases was chosen in our hospital as control group.The concertration of serum CysC and Hcy in every group was tested,and the results were statistically analyzed. Results The result of serum CysC and Hcy in pure diabetic patient group and early-stage diabetic patient goup was higher than control group (P <0.05),and the concertration of serum CysC and Hcy was increased with the progress of the diabetic nephropa-thy significantly (P <0.05),the positive rate of joint detection serum CysC and Hcy in diabetic nephropathy was 86.7%,signifi-cantly higher than that of the two separate positive rate of detection.Conclusion Joint detection serum CysC and Hcy for diagnosis of early diabetic nephropathy has certain good value,Is worth the clinical promoted.

At the beginning, this paper introduced the concept of merit in folk medicine simply. Secondly, the situation that although the healer cure but with no contribution is introduced to analyze the reason. Finally, it discussed the characteristics of the doctor-patient relationship based on treatment effect of Ming dynasty and realis-tic enlightenment to current doctor-patient relationship:the industry has threshold, general knowledge should be unbounded;the responsibility has expanded, merit must be clarify;rights are in the ascent, exercising right should be in accordance with the laws;the rules are very important, later supervision is also needed.

Objective:To investigate the usability of TLC as a evaluating method for adriamycin liposome stability by separating its composition and degradation products with TLC and improve this method. Methods:The plates were developed twice with four development systems,visualized by 4-methoxybenzaldehyde. Results:It was better to separate EPC,cholesterol and their degradation products by using chloroform-methanol-water-ammonia(65∶35∶2.5∶2.5) as the mobile phase. Conclusion:TLC could be used for the quality control of the adriamycin liposome due to its simple operation and high reproducibility.

As the main force of new drug research and development (R&D) in China,pharmaceutical universities are in charge of developing new drugs with our own intellectual property rights.The concept of translational medicine provides opportunity and challenge to improve the efficiency of new drug R&D.Several translational medicine centers have been set up in pharmaceutical universities,which provide practical conditions for new drug R&D in domestic.Administration management approaches to promote new drug R&D in translational medicine platform are analyzed in the paper.

Objective: To investigate the activity of coagulation and fibrinolysis systems in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in lung fibrosis in rats, and to study their role in diagnosis of lung fibrosis. Methods: Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=18 in each group ). Lung fibrosis and control models were made by tracheal instillation bleomycinA_5 (BLMA_5) (5 mg/kg) and saline. On days 7, 14 and 28, the recalcification time points of normal pooled plasma for studying procoagulation activity (PCA), the levels of von Willebrand Factor (vWF), the activities of Antithrombin-Ⅲ(AT-Ⅲ) , plasminogen activity inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and urokanise-type plasminogen activator(uPA) in BALF were measured respectively. Results: (1) In BLM group,the recalcification time points in BALF were (56?10), (78?3) and (172?11) seconds respectively, they were (190?10), (186?8) and (184?6) seconds respectively in control group. The difference was significant(P

Objective To develop a kind of system of simulation and training on ECG for studying ,training and assessing of biomedical engineer. Methods The simulation training system was designed based on PC. In the hardware system, ADuC848 SCM was adopted as the primary controller, QuickStart exploration platform was used to develop firmware, and intelligent assessing system was explored by C++ Builder. Results Biomedical Engineer could be trained, checked and evaluated by the system. Conclusion The system, combining practice and examination, pays attention to basic skill training and thus improves studying efficiency.

BACKGROUND:Tissue-engineered skin is a new method to cure the massive defects of skin caused by burn or trauma.Therefore, the seed cells and scaffold on the tissue-engineered skin have become the focus today.DATA SOURCES: A computer-based online search of Pubmed database was undertaken to identify the articles about tissue-engineered skin published in English between January 1990 and January 2007 with the key words of "tissue engineered skin, stem cell". Meanwhile, we searched Chinese Journals Full-text Database for related Chinese articles published between January 1994 and January 2007 with the key words of index "tissue engineered skin, skin stem cell" in Chinese.STUDY SELECTION: The data were selected firstly to choose the full-text of articles met the criteria. Inclusive criteria:① Articles about seed cells of tissue engineered skin;②Articles about the scaffold of tissue-engineered skin. Exclusive criteria: Repetitive or analogical articles, Meta analysis or case reports.DATA EXTRACTION: Totally 97 articles on tissue-engineered skin were collected and 69 met the inclusive criteria after eliminated the repetitive or similar studies.DATA SYNTHESIS: The development of tissue engineering provides a new approach for the treatment of massive defects with skin transplantation, and gets rid of some problems such as donor site shortage, immune rejection, disease spread et al.① Skin seed cell: Embryonic stem cell and various adult stem cells can serve as seed cell of tissue-engineered skin, and embryonic stem cell is the first choice, which is transplanted on the biological scaffold to acquire the epidermis, dermis and compound skin.②Research progress of epidermis substitute.③Methods to make dermal substitute.④Research direction of compound artificial skin.⑤There are many problems in wide clinical application of tissue-engineered skin, but more and more attention has been paid on its research.CONCLUSION: Tissue-engineered skin is the best choice to cure the massive defects of skin and has a wide clinical prospect. With the rapid development of life science, operation technology, material science and many other related subjects, the ideal tissue-engineered skin can be obtained with similar function and feature to natural skin.

Objevtive To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intensive pulse light (IPL) on treating the telangiectasis and dermal atrophy due to corticosteroid-dependent dermatitis.Methods We applied the IPL on 13 patients who had telangiectasis and dermal atrophy caused by corticosteroid-dependent dermatitis every three to four weeks.The treatment lasted three to eight times.The patients's skin types were Fitzpatrick Ⅲ-V and they had had corticosteroid therapy from 15 months to 13 years.Results To telangiectasis,3 patients had excellent effect afterwards;7 patients achieved fair good effect;Another patients also achieved improvement;2 cases had no positive effect;The total effective rate reached 76.92%.10 patients of dermal atrophy among the total 13 had improvement of the thickness of dermis.Conclusion Intensive pulse light can improve the telangiectasis and dermal atrophy of corticosteroid-dependent dermatitis.It needs less recovery time with fewer side effects and therefore IPL is an effective method for the Iesions.

Synuclein-γ (SNCG) is overexpressed in many advanced stages cancers, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, esophagus cancer, and colon cancer.SNCG stimulates the proliferation, metastasis, and drug resistance of tumor cells, through interacting with BubR1 and damage mitotic checkpoint. A peptic ANK targeted at SNCG can inhibit activity of SNCG and may be developed as an adjuvant therapy.
