Aiming at the existing problems in the teaching hospital,teachers and practical students during clinical practice teaching,we explored actively in talent training and teaching base construction and promoted the improvement of clinical practice ability for medical students.

Objective To explore the relationship between field cognitive style and self-handicapping of medical students.Methods 124 medical students were measured by embedded figure test (EFT) and self-handicapping questionnaire (SHS).Results ①The scores of self-handicapping questionnaire were significantly different in whether they like their major or not(33.61±5.21,35.94±5.16,t=-0.218,P=0.031).Differences were also found in whether they could obtain the scholarships (33.20±6.19,35.12±4.12,t=-0.247,P=0.043),and in whether they were in a relationship(35.35±5.48,33.39±5.01,t=2.063,P=0.041).②Compared with field-independent cognitive style students,Field-dependent cognitive style students ' self-handicapping score was higher (35.69±3.91,32.63±6.08,t=3.303,P=0.001).③Field-dependent cognitive style,dislike their major and be in a relationship were the significant predictors of self-handicapping.Conclusion Correlation exists between field cognitive style and self-handicapping of the medical students.Students who belong to field-dependent cognitive style are more prone to self-handicapping than field-independent cognitive style students.

Objective To investigate whether baicalein inhibits the proliferation, cell cycle of and pseudopod formation in A431, a skin squamous cell carcinoma cell line, by suppressing the expression of ezrin protein. Methods A431 cells were grouped to be transfected with ezrin-targeting siRNA (siRNA group), treated with baicalein of 5, 10, 20, 40 μmol/L, respectively (baicalein group), or remain untreated (control group). After additional culture, wound healing assay and Transwell assay were performed to observe the migration and invasion of A431 cells, RT-PCR to detect the mRNA expression of ezrin in A431 cells, Western blot and immunoflu-orescence to measure the expression of ezrin protein and its phosphorylation. The pseudopod formation in A431 cells was observed by using scanning electron microscopy. Results After 24-hour culture, wound healing assay displayed that the percent wound closure was 13.3 ± 1.7, 7.6 ±1.6 and 5.9 ± 1.3, respectively, in A431 cells treated with baicalein of 5, 10, 20μmol/L, significantly lower than that in untreated A431 cells (16.3 ± 2.3, all P < 0.01), and the inhibition of baicalein on the migration of A431 cells was concentration-dependent. In the Transwell assay, a significant decrease was observed in the number of A431 cells per high power field permeating through the artificial basement membrane in the groups treated with baicalein of 5, 10, 20 μmol/L for 48 hours compared with the control group (46.5 ± 3.8, 34.3 ± 3.4, 25.3 ± 2.3 vs 56.3 ± 3.8, all P < 0.01), whereas no significant difference was noted between these baicalein-treated groups and siRNA-transfected group (28.3 ± 2.1, all P > 0.05). RT-PCR analysis showed that the mRNA expression of ezrin in baicalein-treated A431 cells significantly decreased compared with that in untreated cells (all P< 0.01), but showed no difference from that in siRNA group (P > 0.05). A statistical difference was also observed in the expression of ezrin and phosphorylated ezrin protein between baicalein-treated A431 cells and untreated cells (all P< 0.05), but not between 40 μmol/L baicalein-treated A431 cells and siRNA-transfected cells (P> 0.05). Furthermore, the suppression of baicalein on ezrin protein and mRNA expression was concentration dependent. The number of pseudopod per cell was significantly lower in 20 μmol/L baicalein-treated A431 cells and siRNA-transfected cells than that in untreated A431 cells (5.3 ± 1.9, 4.5 ± 2.8 vs 22.6 ± 2.8, both P < 0.01), while no significant difference was observed between the former two groups of cells (P > 0.05); the length of pseudopodia also reduced in baicalein-treated cells. Conclusions Baicalein may inhibit the proliferation and invasion of A431 cells by directly or indirectly suppressing the expression of ezrin and phosphorylated ezrin, which in turn contributes to the effect of baicalein against tumor proliferation and metastasis.

Objective To conduct an empirical study for quantifying the anastomosis between two vessels after skin expanded technique by the method of angiography and to provide a precise basis for vascular study in skin flap.Methods Bilateral skin flaps based on deep iliac circumflex vessels were elevated from the abdominal wall including deep superior epigastric vessels.One was expanded at the boundary between two vessels and the other unexpanded.An X-ray image was obtained by carotid arterial injection of gelatin-lead oxide mixture.Three parallel lines with equal intervals perpendicular to long axis of the two vessels were designed at the communication area.Vessel anastomosis quantity was determined by counting the number of marks derived from the intersections of the lines and the vessels and statistical analysis was carried out.Results The marks of intersection in expanded group were more than unexpanded group with statistical significance.Conclusions The method for quantifying vessel anastomosis in skin flap is reliable.The principles of this procedure may also be applied to other experimental and elinical studies.

Objective To evaluate the impact of respiratory motion on lung dosimetry using 4D-CT during lung cancer radiotherapy.Methods Ten cases were randomly selected from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated in our department.The 4D-CT machine was adopted for simulation before treatment and 10 respiratory phases were obtained for each patient.Target volumes were delineated on the maximum intensity projection (MIP) images,and plans were generated on average intensity projection (ALP) images.Plans were transferred to CT images of each respiratory phase,and we calculated the dosage on lungs and subsequently evaluated the volume dosage to lungs and the entire body.Results The mean dosage to lungs are greatly affected by the respiratory phase.This difference also depended on tumor location.When it was inside the lung,the average dosage shows the same trend as the respiratory motion,with the change rate of 2.18％,which was less than the change of lung volume 4.49％ (t =4.189,P ＜ 0.05).When the tumor was located nearby the lung,the mean dosage showed the opposite trend with respiratory motion,with the change rate of 3.76％,which was also less than the change of lung volume 4.49％ (t =25.007,P ＜ 0.05).The effect of respiratory motion on V5,V10,V20 of body was small,and the magnitude of change for whole body dosages were 0.47％,0.28％,0.17％ respectively,which was smaller than the change of lung volume 4.49％ (t =11.371,11.188,11.377,P ＜ 0.05).Volume dose of lung V5,V10,V20 and lung volume change trends were the same,and the magnitude of change for lung volume dosages were 2.39％,1.91％,1.80％ respectively,and were smaller than the change of lung volume 4.49％ (t =2.279,2.298,2.485,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The mean dosage to lungs shows a great difference between different respiratory phases.More attention should be paid when evaluating the lung volume during treatment planning.

Objective To investigate the expression and role of CD147in the differentiation of nor-mal keratinocytes and squamous cell carcinoma(SCC)cells.Methods CD147expression was analyzed immunohistochemically in20cases of verruca vulgaris(VV),various benign,premalignant and malignant epidermal tumors including21cases of seborrheic keratosis(SK),20actinic keratosis(AK),20Bowen' s disease(BD)and57squamous cell carcinoma.SCCs were classified using Broder's system of grading.Im-munoblot analysis was used to observe CD147expression in normal keratinocyte(HaCaT)and SCC cell(HSC-5)in vitro during their differentiation process induced by calcium.The effects of high-calcium medi-um culture and CD147antibody on the differentiation-related morphology of HaCaT and HSC-5cells were also observed.Results The same staining pattern of CD147was shown in20VV and21SK specimens as in normal epidermis.Positive CD147staining throughout the lesion was shown in4of20AK and7of20BD specimens.Positive CD147staining at the periphery of tumor nests was shown in8of20gradeⅠSCC specimens.CD147expressed throughout tumor nests in16of20gradeⅡSCC and all of the17gradeⅢSCC specimens.Immunoblot analysis revealed decreased CD147expression in both HaCaT and HSC-5cells during differentiation process induced by calcium.Not only high-calcium medium but also CD147antibody could induce differentiation-related morphology of both HaCaT and HSC-5cells in vitro.Conclusion These results suggest that CD147is a novel low-differentiation marker of keratinocyte,which might inhibit the dif-ferentiation of both normal keratinocyte and SCC cell.

Objective To improve the experience of diagnosis and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the surgical management for ureteral fibroepithelial polyp.Methods The clinical date of 29 patients with ureteral polyps admitted in Peking Union Medical College Hospital during 2001 to 2014 were analysed retrospectively.The patients' age was between 1 1 to 84 years and 19 were male.Twenty patients with frank pain and two patients with hematuria were enrolled.Seven patients were found hydronephrosis.Results Twenty-nine cases were treated surgically.Fifteen cases were treated by ureteroscopic laser ablation,10 cases local resection and reanastomosis,1 case of abnormalities duplex kidney and ureter underwent local resection and ureteroplasty,2 case Partial ureterectomy including the polyps and pyeloplasty,1 cases nephroureterectomy because of giant hydronephrosis and nonfunctional kidney.No recurrences were seen during a mean follow-up of 32 months (range 10-56 mos).No ureteral stricture occurs.Conclusions Ureteral fibroepithelial polyps represent a rare pathology.Local resection is the main treatment.Endoscopic management is recommended to minimize morbidity and complications in treatment of ureteral fibroepithelial polyps.Recurrences seem to be rare in these tumors.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo investigate the expressions of Endoglin (CD105) and Galectin-3 protein in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) as well as the relationship between their expressions and the clinicopathological factors of LSCC.METHODSThe expressions of CD105 and Galectin-3 protein were detected in 76 samples of LSCC and 25 normal laryngeal tissues (NLT) by immunohistochemical staining (S-P).RESULTS 1.The mean of Microvessel density (MVD) value marked by CD105 in LSCC was 10.33±2.29, which was significantly higher than that in NLT (1.20±1.04) (P<0.05). The expression of MVD marked by CD105 (CD105-MVD) was correlated with histological grading, T stage, clinical stage, lymph node metastasis, recurrence and prognosis in LSCC (P<0.05). 2.The positive expression rate of Galectin-3 protein in LSCC was 86.84%, which was significantly higher than that in NLT (36%)(P<0.05). The expression of Galectin-3 was correlated with T stage,clinical stage, lymph node metastasis, recurrence and prognosis in LSCC (P<0.05). 3.There was a positive correlation between CD105 and Galectin-3 protein. 4.Survival analysis indicated that the expressions of CD105 and Galectin-3, histological grading, lymph node metastasis,T stage and recurrence were independent factors for tumor prognosis in LSCC (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONThe expressions of CD105 and Galectin-3 protein have a positive correlation in LSCC. They may play important roles in the tumorigenesis, malignant progression and poor prognosis of LSCC. Combined detection of them may be great value in diagnosis and predicting prognosis of LSCC.
