Differences are existed in two textbooks of doctor-patient communication between China and foreign countries concerning perspectives of doctor-patient communication,teaching goals and applicable scope based on the consensus on importance of doctor-patient communication and education training.Contents in textbooks of china emphasize the logic of discipline while that of foreign countries pay attention to the logic of clinical treatment.The advantages of textbooks of China are having strong theoretical basis and ample contents while those of foreign text books are practicability and effectiveness.Some suggestions which to benefit the textbook development of Chinese doctor-patient communication has been offered:textbooks of doctor-patient communication in our country should be separated from those of nursing communication; advantages and experiences of foreign textbooks should be drew from; in-depth development of doctor-patient communication theory research and education reform should be conducted; diversification of teaching materials of doctor-patient communication should be gradually perfected ; teaching quality of doctor-patient communication should be improved.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of intramedullary nailing combined with bone cement in repair of segmental bone defects after tumor resection.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 5 patients with malignant bone tumor who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedics, Qiannan People's Hospital from April 2018 to September 2019 for remaining segmental bone defects following limb salvage surgery. They were 4 males and one female, aged from 11 to 55 years (average, 35.4 years). Their defects ranged from 6 to 21 cm (average, 12.3 cm) after tumor resection. By the Karnofsky performance score (KPS) for long-term quality of life, all of them scored less than 50 points. Of them, 3 were treated by interlocking intramedullary nails and bone cement filling, and 2 by elastic intramedullary nails and bone cement filling. In the 2 cases with defects of 21 cm and 13 cm, the fixation was assisted by a plate and an external fixator. Defect length after resection, operation time and intraoperative bleeding were recorded; the efficacy was evaluated by the Enneking functional evaluation of reconstructive procedures after surgical treatment of tumors of the musculoskeletal system, visual analogue scale (VAS), and KPS.Results:All the 5 patients had uneventful surgery, with operation time ranging from 112 to 225 min (average, 154.2 min), intraoperative bleeding from 300 to 500 mL (average, 382 mL), and defect length after resection from 6 to 21 cm. The 5 patients were followed up for 6 to 28 months. Of them, 2 died of disease progression 6 and 7 months after surgery, respectively. According to the Enneking's evaluation, one patient scored 28 points, 2 patients 23 points and 2 patients 21 points, giving a high degree of satisfaction. Their VAS scores 6 months after surgery ranged from 1 to 6, averaging 3.6; their postoperative KPS scores ranged from 60 to 80, averaging 72.Conclusion:In repair of segmental bone defects after tumor resection, intramedullary nailing combined with bone cement filling can relieve pain of patients and lead to satisfactory short-term curative efficacy.

Objective To reverse P-glycoprotein-mediated muhiple drug resistance using RNA interference(RNAi)in cultured rat astrocytes.Methods Astroeytes overexpressing P-glyeoprotein induced by coriaria lactone were transfected with the short-hairpin RNA expression vector-p-SIREN shuttle designed to target Mdrl mRNA.The mRNA level of Mdrl gene was evaluated by real-time PCR;the P-glycoprotein was examined by immunocytochemistry and image analysis,meanwhile the rhodamine efflux was assessed by flow cytometry.Results The astrocyte model overexpressing P-glycoprotein were established and successfully transfected with the short-hairpin RNA expression vector-p-SIREN shuttle.The mRNA level of Mdrl gene was knocked down by 67.70%(P

Purpose:To study the clinical significance of CD44 level in tumor cells of esophageal carcinoma patients. Methods:Sixty-five esophageal carcinoma cases were examined to observe the CD44 expression rate in tumor cells and nor- mal mucosal cells by flow cytometry.These data were clinicopathologically analyzed and compared with statistical methods. Results:The CD44 expression rate in tumors cells of esophageal carcinoma was obviously higher than that in normal mucosal cells (P

A new steroid with a long cross-conjugation structure, 15a-hydroxy-(22E, 24R)-ergosta-3, 5, 8 (14), 22-tetraen-7-one (1), was isolated from the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus aculeatus. Its structure was established by the extensive spectroscopic analyses, and its cytotoxicities against P388, HL-60, and PC-3 cell lines were measured in vitro.

Objective:To evaluate the efficiency of the tibial coronal alignment after total knee arthro-plasty with the extramedullary cutting system guided by the tibial tubercle and anterior tibial tendon,and to discuss the potential risk factors for the postoperative malalignment.Methods:A retrospective study of 212 primary unilateral TKA surgeries (in 188 patients)in our hospital between June to December in 2014 had been analysed.All the cases were performed by one surgical group.An extramedullary tibial cutting guide system had been used,with a landmark of one third inner-medial tibial tubercle as a proxi-mal anatomy reference,and anterior tibial tendon as a distal marker.The mechanical axis of lower ex-tremity in full-length X-ray was measured before surgery,and the tibial prosthetic coronal alignment was checked two weeks postoperation,evaluating the accuracy of this extramedullary cutting system guided by our method.Results:Since good alignment was defined as an angle within 3 degrees of the perpendicular to the mechanical axis,the tibial component positions were acceptable in 191 knees (90.1%),five knees were in valgus postoperative,and sixteen knees were in varus.There were seventeen(8.7%)in 179 knees with a preoperative varus presented malalignment after surgery,and four in 12 preoperative valgus kneess howed malalignment also,no statistical difference was found by Chi-square test (χ2 =2.778,P=0.096),which cannot define the relationship between the varus or valgus deformity preopera-tion and the malalignmentposition in tibial prosthesis after surgery.Twenty-two knees suffered a severe preoperative deformity as a varus or valgus angle larger than 20 degrees with absolute value of mechanical axis before surgery and tibial prosthetic coronal alignment were 21.95°(20.00°,26.90°)and 1.85° (0.10°,7.10°),showed a significant difference (Z =2.11,P =0.035 )compared with the data [10.65°(0.50°,19.80°)in preoperative mechanical axis and 1.10°(0.00°,4.60°)in the tibial pros-thetic coronal alignment]of 190 knees who presented a mild deformity before surgery(less than 20 de-grees),the result indicated the severe preoperative deformity might be a potential mal-alignment risk fac-tor within this cutting system in TKA surgery.Conclusion:The tibial coronal alignment after total knee arthroplasty could achieve good results with extramedullary cutting guide,by using one third inner-medial tibial tubercle and anterior tibial tendon as a proximal and distal anatomy marker.Postoperative varus might occur in this system,and tibial prosthetic malalignment appeared more often in the patients who suffered a severe deformity before surgery.

The tandem expression vector can effectively increase the expression level and structure stability of the target peptides(protein)with small size of molecular,and avoid toxicity towards host cell from some toxic peptides product,therefore,this approach is widely applied in biotechnology.The four construction methods of tandem expression plasmid including asymmetric and complementary cohesive ends,directional adapter,isocaudarners,and tandem expression cassette were reviewed in terms of protocol,characteristic and applicable field.In addition,selection principles from various construction methods of tandem plasmid were reviewed in terms of efficiency,accuracy and product cleavage.
