Objective To investigate the effectiveness of different dose dexmedetomidine ( DEX) combined with video laryngoscopy during orotracheal Intubation for patients with spontaneous breathing. Methods A total of 87 emergency or intensive care unit ( ICU) patients with spontaneous breathing was in-cluded (age range:18 to 75 years).The patients were randomly divided into three groups with 29 cases each:midazolam combined with fentanyl group ( A) , low dose DEX group ( B) , and high dose DEX group (C).Mean arterial pressure (MAP),heart rate (HR), and SpO2 were detected before injecting different dosage drugs (T0), during intubation (T1),after intubation immediately (T2), at 3 min after intubation ( T3 ) .The amount of intubation time and side effects in each group were assessed.Results Compared to A group, the changes of hemodynamics in group B and C were more stable after injecting drugs.The doctors spend less time for intubation in group B and C.The rate of significant bradycardia in group C was higher than other groups.Conclusions If you can assess indications, doses and timings strictly, it was safety and availability to control intubation response in the patients with spontaneous breathing by injected of DEX.

OBJECTIVE:To improve the work quality in Pharmacy intravenous admixture service(PIVAS). METHODS:The major working links of PIVAS(labeling and drug admixture)were optimized,the work efficiency and error before and after optimi-zation were compared. RESULTS:The work efficiency was improved and error was decreased by adding logo and adjusting work range of personnel when labeling and improving distribution principles of drugs to be allocated in horizontal laminar flow table when drug admixture;compared with before,the labeling time for each bag decreased from(2.69±0.17)s to(2.19±0.08)s,to-tal time for admixture decreased from (104 ± 2) min to (83 ± 2) min,error rate of drug admixture decreased from 0.34% to 0.16%. 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.

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 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.

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 role of risk factors associated with hemodynamics in patients with intracranial artery stenosis.Methods Eighteen patients with local stenosis of middle cerebral artery were recruited in this study retrospectively.According to patients′clinical symptoms and magnetic resonance imaging findings, they were divided into the symptomatic group (n=13) and the asymptomatic group (n=5).Wall shear stress ( WSS) , oscillatory shear index ( OSI) , velocity and pressure of the stenotic artery wall were compared between the two groups after reconstructing 3-dimentional model of hemodynamics.Then related risk factors of hemodynamics were analyzed in symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.Results There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the parameters such as age, sex, degree of artery stenosis, mean arterial pressure and some medical histories of hypertension and diabetes.The results showed obvious changes of hemodynamics in local artery stenosis.The WSS(78.69(68.15,117.65) Pa vs 39.34(22.76,60.54) Pa,U=4,P=0.003), pressure of the stenotic artery wall (1 815.14(1 242.44,4 398.84) Pa vs 735.55(361.17,1 528.78) Pa,U =7,P=0.010)and velocity of the local stenosis(3.87(2.58, 4.52) m/s vs 2.31(1.38,3.12) m/s,U=12,P=0.046) in the symptomatic group were much higher than those in the asymptomatic group; however, there were no significant differences between the two groups in OSI.Conclusions Hemodynamic features do exist in local intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.The WSS, wall pressure and velocity of the local stenosis may be vital risk factors associated with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.

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.
