Objective: This study aims to investigate the positive practice environments evaluation of doctors in public hospital and provide suggestions for Chinese health care reform from the perspective of health service providers.Methods: Using self-designed questionnaire, a national cross-sectional survey was performed in 77 public hospitals across seven provinces/ metropolis, involving a total of 3564 doctors.Positive practice environment includes organizational management and doctor-patient two-dimension relationships.Results: The doctor''s mean score of positive practice environment evaluation was 18.02±4.86 (out of 40).Doctors had a higher evaluation (score) of organizational management than doctor-patient relationship.In the organizational management dimension, the personal advice got the lowest scores(2.24±1.04);and in doctor-patient relations, evasion of medical risk got the lowest scores(1.59±0.81).There was a difference in the positive practice scores of physicians in different regions, and the scores of doctors from the western China were the lowest (P<0.001.Doctors from western medicine hospitals had lower evaluation of positive practice environments than ones from Chinese Traditional Medicine hospitals(P=0.002.Conclusion: As per the analysis conducted in this investigation, the current medical practice environment of doctors in China is not a promising one.Doctor-patient relationship is worse than organizational management.Hospitals should adopt a participatory decision-making model in management and establish a broadband performance based compensation to motivate junior doctors.Besides, government should establish reasonable compensation incentive mechanism, with the aim of promoting doctor-patient trust.

AIM To investigate the effects of trifluoperazine on naloxone precipitated withdrawal symptoms in morphine dependent rats and mice, and its pharmacological mechanisms. METHODS\ Naloxone precipitated tests in morphine dependent rats and mice were used. RESULTS\ Trifluoperazine(2～20 mg?kg -1 ) dose dependently inhibited naloxone precipitated withdrawal jumping, wet dog shakes, paw tremor and weight loss in morphine dependent mice. With ip trifluoperazine (5～20 mg?kg -1 ), most of positive withdrawal symptoms, including jumping, wet dog shakes, defeacation, weight loss, teeth chattering, salivation, diarrhea, ptosis and irritating, induced by naloxone in morphine dependent rats were significantly reduced. Apomorphine (2～8 mg?kg -1 ), a mixed DA 1/DA 2 receptor agonist, did not affect inhibition of trifluoperazine on naloxone precipitated withdrawal symptoms in morphine dependent mice. However, nifedipine(5～20 mg?kg -1 ), a L type voltage sensitive calcium channel blocker, enhanced a pharmacological action of trifluoperazine against naloxone precipitated symptoms in morphine dependent mice. CONCLUSION\ Trifluoperazine attenuates naloxone precipitated withdrawal symptoms in morphine dependent rats and mice by inhibiting the activity of post receptor calmodulin, but it does not antagonizes DA 2 receptor, in central nervous system.

Blood samples were collected from 90 patients with confirmed rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 73 patients with other rheumatic diseases and 50 normal controls. Serum glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) were detected with ELISA method, rheumatoid factor IgM( RF IgM)was measured with turbidimetric immunoassay and antikeratin antibody (AKA) was determined with indirect immunofluorescence assay. The serum GPI levels of RA group[1.73 (0. 43 -4. 40)mg/L]were significantly higher than those of rheumatic disease[0. 14 (0. 10 -0. 18 )mg/L]and normal controls[0. 12 (0. 09 - 0. 15 ) mg/L], ( H = 18. 13, P ＜ 0. 01 ). The sensitivities of GPI, anti-CCP,RF-IgM, AKA, GPI + CCP, GPI + RF-IgM were 80% (72/90), 57% (51/90), 68% (61/90), 29% (26/90) ,92% (83/90) and 96% (86/90), respectively; the specificities were 97% (119/123) ,95% ( 117/123 ) ,77% (95/123) ,95% ( 117/123 ), 93% ( 115/123 ) and 76% ( 93/123 ), respectively. GP1 level was significantly correlated with CCP and RF-IgM ( r = 0. 674 and 0. 533, P ＜ 0. 01 ), but not correlated with AKA ( r = 0. 12, P ＞ 0. 05 ). The results suggest that serum glucose-6-phosphate isomerase level is a valuable indicator for early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective To study the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance caused by interleukin-6 (IL-6) in ovarian cancer cells and its related signal pathways. Methods Ovarian cancer cell lines A2780(IL-6 receptor positive, while non-IL-6-expressing and cisplatin/paclitaxel-responsive) and SKOV3 cell lines( overexpressing of IL-6 receptor and IL-6 and cisplatin/paclitaxel-resistant) were suitable models for this study. The effect of exogenous (a short period of treatment with recombination IL-6) and endogenous IL-6(by transfecting with plasmid encoding for sense IL-6 ) in A2780 cells or deleting of endogenous IL-6expression in SKOV3 cells (by transfecting with plasmid encoding for antisense IL-6) on the sensitivity to cisplatin and paclitaxel was investigated. Meanwhile, the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance caused by IL-6 in ovarian cancer cells and its related signal pathways were also analyzed. Results We found that both exogenous and endogenous IL-6 induce cisplatin and paclitaxel resistance in non-IL-6-expressing A2780 cells (the resistance multiple to cisplatin and paclitaxel was: exogenous, 6. 25 and 7.31; endogenous, 7. 13 -8. 34 and 7. 61 - 10. 70), while deleting of endogenous IL-6 expression in IL-6-overexpressing SKOV3 cells promotes its sensitivity to anticancer drugs ( the resistance multiple to cisplatin and paclitaxel was 0. 15 and 0. 10, 0. 10 and 0. 08). IL-6 significantly up-regulated the expression levels of mRNA and protein of drug resistance-associated genes, MDR1 and GST-π, and apoptosis-inhibiting genes, bcl-2, bcl-xL and XIAP in a dose-dependent manner in A2780 cells. In accordance with this finding, the mRNA and protein levels of MDR1 and GST-π enhanced in sense IL-6-transfected A2780 cells, and reduced in antisense IL-6-transfected SKOV3 cells compared with the corresponding parental and control vector-transfected cells, which had no difference. It was found that PD98059 [ mitogen-activated protein kinase-extracellular signalregulated kinase (MEK) inhibitor ] and wortmannin [ phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor ]significantly antagonized IL-6-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase ( ERK ) and protein kinase B (Akt), respectively, and both of them blocked IL-6-induced cisplatin and paclitaxel resistance and the inhibitory effects of PD98059 and wortmannin were dependent on its concentration.Conclusions These data suggest that IL-6-induced chemoresistance may be associated with increase of both drug resistance-associated genes ( MDR1 and GST-π) and apoptosis-inhibiting genes ( bcl-2, bcl-xL and XIAP), and activation of MEK/ERK and PL3K/Akt. Therefore, modulation of IL-6 expression or its related signaling pathway may be a promising strategy of treatment for drug-resistant ovarian cancer.

With the development of social economy, high-intensity energy is the direct cause of fracture, such as traffic accident, fall injury and tumble. Fracture healing is affected by many factors, such as malunion, delayed union, nonunion and wound infection. Tibial fractures are usually caused by high-energy mechanisms and can also be caused by low-energy mechanisms of ankle rotation. With the gradual deepening of orthopedic surgeons′ understanding of bone nonunion, the treatment of tibial nonunion is mainly divided into surgical treatment and non-operative treatment. Surgical treatment is generally the first choice for the treatment of bone nonunion, in which plate internal fixation plays an unique advantage in the treatment of tibial nonunion. By reviewing the recently published literature, this paper reviews the latest progress in the treatment of tibial nonunion with plate internal fixation.

Objective To study the effects of improving elderly patients with bowel dysfunction after cardiopulmonary bypass.Methods Choose 54 elderly patients with CPB were randomly divided into tree groups:the control group and the Gln group and the Combination group,every group has 18 patients.Glutamine(Gln) at 0.4 g/kg was administrated to the patients in the Gln group and the combination group during the beginning at CPB and two days after the operation.Based on the Gln group,the patients of The Combination group were given the different oral Chinese medicine before and after operation,according to syndrome differentiation classification.Plasma endotoxin,IL-6 and DAO were measured before operation and at the endof operation and 24 h,48 h after operation.At the same time,we used German Siemens Company's X3000 Color Doppler machine to test every group of patients superior mesenteric artery.We tested before surgery,and one to two days after operation,from the starting point within 2cmof the superior mesenteric artery and the angle between the ultrasound beam flow was less than 60 °,the probe frequency was 3.5 MHz.The detection of hemodynamic indexes were EDV and PI.Results After the test,the plasma endotoxin and IL-6 levels and DAO levels of the Gln group were reduced than the Control group after cardiopulmonary bypass.The plasma endotoxin and IL-6 levels and DAO levels of the Combined gnup were decreased than the Gln group after cardiopulmonary bypass and one day after operation.Analyze superior mesenteric artery diastolic velocity (EDV)and pulsatility index (PI) by the Color Doppler.After operation,the EDV in the Gln group and the Combined grup were significantly higher than the control group,the Pl were lower than the control group.The parameters levels have significant difference after cardiopulmonary bypass and one day after operation(P ＜ 0.05 ).The Combined group was improved than the Gln group after cardiopulmonary bypass and one day after operation.According to the traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis,there were eighteen patients in the Combined group,including fifteen patients in type of deficiency of both qi and yin and three patients in type of fu-viscera syndnome.All of the patients have defecated within tree days after operation.In the type of deficiency of both qi and yin nine patients were cured and six were shown to be effective after operation.All the patients in type of fuviscera syndrome were cured.Conclusion N(2)-L-Alanyle-L-Glutmaine have protective effect on the intestinal mucosal barrier after CPB.Combined traditional Chinese Medicine preparation was more conducive to the intestinal function recovery of elderly patients after cartiopulmonary bypass.

Objective To investigate the selective oncolytic role and antitumor action of a novel recombinant adenovirus containing E1A and IL-24 on hepatocellular carcinoma cell(HCC). Methods The recombinant adenovirus expressing IL-24 (Ad. HS4. AFP. E1A/IL-24) was constructed by using modified human alpha-fetoprotein (HS4-AFP) promoter to drive adenovirus E1A gene and II-24 gene.Cell Counting Kit-8 were performed to test the selective cytotoxicity of the virus in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines SMMC-7721, Hep3B, MHCC97-H and hepatocyte cell line L02 . The mRNA and protein expression of IL-24 gene were detected by RT-PCR and western blot. Cell growth curves and Annexin V/PI assay were used to study cell proliferation and apoptosis of MHCC97-H. The anti-metastatic effects of the recombinant adenovirus were evaluated in cell adhesion, migration, and cell motion. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) expression was examined by RT-PCR and zymography.Results Selective replications of Ad. HS4. AFP. E1A/IL-24 adenovirus were observed in over expression AFP cell line MHCC97-H, a highly metastatic potential HCC cell line but not in hepatocyte cell line L02. The mRNA and protein of IL-24 were also over expressed in MHCC97-H. This recombinant adenovirus also showed the significant oncolytic action on MHCC97-H but not on L02 (P＜0. 05). Besides, the recombinant adenovirus significantly inhibited MHCC97-H metastatic potential such as cell adhesion, migration and invasion as well(P＜0.01). Conclusion The selective oncolytic adenovirus expressing E1A and II-24 has a selective antitumor effect and play an inhibitory role in metastasis of HCC.

Objective To investigate the effect of songling xuemaikang(SL-xmk)pretreatment on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats.Methods A total of 45 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into SL-xmk pretreatment,sham operation,and normal saline control group.Preventive gavage was per-formed for 8 weeks in rats using SL-xmk(937.50 mg/kg)suspension in the SLxmk pretreatment group(n = 15);the preventive gavage was performed in rats using the equal volume of normal saline in the sham operation(n = 15)and normal saline control(n = 15)groups.At the end of the pretreatment process,a model of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)in rats was induced by suture method for 2 hours and reperfusion for 24 hours.The effects of SL-xmk pretreatment on the neurologic deficit scores after transient MCAO,brain water content,and infarct volume in rats were observed.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the MMP-9 immunoreactive positive cells in ischemic brain tissue.Results The neurologjc deficit scores(1.21 ± 0.25 vs.2.37 ± 0.35,P = 0.000),the brain water content (76.24% ± 7.09% vs.88.78% ± 6.57%,P = 0.000),the percentage of infarct volume (22.62% ±2.17% vs.27.84% ±3.43%,P =0.000),and the numbers of MMP-9 positive cells(16.20 ± 2.17/mm vs.20.60 ± 2.71/mm,P = 0.000)were all significantly lower than those in the control group.Conclusions SL-xmk pretreatment may significantly inhibit the expression of MMP-9 in the brain tissue of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats and reduce brain water content and infarct volume.
