CONCLUSIONS:The optimized work flow had improved the work quality of PIVAS.

Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) in homocysteine (Hcy)-induced proliferation,migration and senescence of human aorta smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).Methods After VSMCs were incubated with Hcy (0-0.50 mmol/L) for various time periods,a CCK-8 assay was performed to determine proliferation activity.Modified Boyden chamber system (Transwell apparatus) was used to examine migration ability.A SA-β-gal staining kit was used to determine senescence status.Western blotting was performed to examine the expressions of STAT4 and phosphorylated STAT4 (p-STAT4) proteins,and ELISA was performed to examine MCP-1 expression.Results Hcy (from 0.05 mmol/L) significantly increased the proliferation of VSMCs (P ＜ 0.05).Hcy (from 0.10 mmol/L) significantly increased the migration of VSMCs (P ＜ 0.05).Hcy promoted the senescence of VSMC in a concentration-dependent manner,and significantly increased VSMC senescence when the concentration of Hcy reached 0.10 mmol/L (P ＜ 0.05).Hcy (from 0.10 mmol/L) treatment significantly increased the expression of p-STAT4 (P ＜ 0.05) and MCP-1 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Hcy increases the proliferation,migration and senescence of VSMCs,probably by the activation of STAT4 pathway.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and possible mechanisms of erythropoietin (EPO) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury(MIRI) in rats.Methods Ninety male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups,the sham operation group (n =20),I/RI group (n =20),and EPO treatment combined I/RI group (n =20).The left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated for 30min utes and then loosed for 150min utes to establish the rat model of MIRI.Rats of EPO + I/RI group were injected with EPO(5000u/kg) in abdominal cavity,the others were injected with nomal sodium.The serum MDA content was determined in a method of the thiobarbituric (TBA),the cardiac injury markers(cTn Ⅰ,CK,CK-MB) contents were determined by ELISA.Results The serum MDA and MPO levels of the I/RI group were significantly higher than the sham group,difference was significant(t =10.445,9.848,all P ＜ 0.05) ; Intervention by EPO,the serum MDA and MPO levels of the EPO + I/RI group were significantly lower than the I/RI group,the difference was significant (t =5.087,6.683,all P ＜ 0.05).The serum cTn Ⅰ,CK and CK-MB levels of the I/RI group were significantly higher than the sham group,the difference was significant (t =8.153,5.411,3.729,P ＜ 0.05) ; Intervention by EPO,the serum cTn Ⅰ,CK and CK-MB levels of the EPO+ I/RI group were significantly lower than the I/RI group,the difference was significant(t =4.808,4.089,3.002,all P ＜0.05).Conclusion EPO has protective effect on MIRI,the effect may be through EPO's antioxidant,antiinflammatory and protective effect on myocardial cells in the MIRI rats.

The reform in cultivating professional-degree programs in Clinical Medicine Education contributes to the transformation of training mode, which surpasses the connotative bounds of the inherent education management. The personalized training of students has made it more challenging for both the tutor and the faculty to involve in education management, the effectiveness of which is highly valued due to the pressing need for sound medical ethics. Furthermore, the development of information technology calls for the reform of education management as well as the emphasis of student-centered approach. This article summa-rizes the existing problems of current education management mode for master degree programs of profes-sional clinical medical education. In addition, a three-level management system composed of medical experts is brewed and put forth. This system, based on compensation and restraint, assessment and incentive, ser-vice as well as security, is meant to facilitate the training of application-oriented medical talents.

MicroRNA (miRNA) are a class of endogenous single -stranded non-coding RNA, which regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally by combining with the target mRNA and play a vital role in biological and pathological processes including the growth of organism , metabolic regulation, disease prediction and intervention.Thus miRNA detection is of considerable significance in disease diagnosis and the research of miRNA function.Because of the restriction factors about miRNA itself such as short sequence, low abundance and highly homologous , traditional methods for miRNA detection cannot meet the current demands due to the limitations like unsatisfactory sensitivity and complicated operation .This review summarizes the newly development about signal amplification -based methods for miRNA, including the advantages and limitations of all kinds of novel methods , and highlights the future trends as well.

Objective To invent a set of novel veno-venous bypass (VVB) device based on magnetic anastomosis technique which can be used in ex situ liver resection, and verify its clinical value and performance in animal models.Methods Each VVB device was constructed using three magnetic rings and an inverted Y-shaped tube with magnetic rings on each end.The magnetic ring was made of NdFeB with electrode cutting, and the tube was made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and preconditioned with heparin coating on the surface of the lumen.Ten dogs underwent the ex situ liver resection, and VVB was established via magnetic anastomosis technique with the novel VVB device during the operation.The time for completing VVB was recorded, and the hemodynamic indexes including the venous flow velocity, carotid pressure, central venous pressure and portal pressure was detected.The changes of intestinal lumen and kidney were also observed.Results It only took 6 ～ 10 minutes to establish VVB by the novel VVB device in the operation,and the hemodynamics stability was maintained smoothly during the anheptic phase.The shunt index of inferior vena cava and portal vein was 76.2％ and 75.5％, respectively.The congestion of intestinal canal and kidney were also alleviated during the anheptic phase.Conclusions It could reduce the time to establish VVB with magnetic anastomosis technique in ex situ liver resection.This study showed that utilizing the novel VVB device for intraabdominal VVB during the anheptic phase could be helpful to maintain the hemodynamics stability.

Objective To study the influence of different kinds of disinfection methods on antibacterial activity of TiO2 nanotubes. Methods TiO2 nanotubes were fabricated with 0.5%wt HF on pure titanium to acid-etching combined with an? odization as experimental group. The pure Ti was control group. They were disinfected by three kinds of disinfection meth?ods, which were alcohol immersion, autoclaving and UV irradiation. The bacterial adhesion ability was evaluated by observ?ing the morphology of samples, measuring the roughness and contracting angle. The film contact method was used to evaluate the antibacterial activity of samples with Staphylococcus aureus (Sa) after different infection treatment. The bacterial morphol?ogy was observed by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). Results The treatment group has higher sur?face roughness. The bacterial adhesion ability of experimental group was stronger compared with that of control group. The contracting angle of samples exposed to UV irradiation was smaller than that of alcohol immersion and autoclaving treatment group. The viable count and FE-SEM showed that there were more bacteria and more complete morphology on the sample surface after alcohol immersion. The viable count was less and bacterial morphology suffered some damage on the sample sur?face after high pressure steam sterilization. The least viable count and the most complete destruction of bacterial morphology were found after ultraviolet (UV) germicidal irradiation. Conclusion UV irradiation shows the best antibacterial activity, the second is autoclaving and the worst is alcohol immersion.
