Doctors ought to belong to a social stratum with fairly high incomes. The high input and long cycle that is essential to becoming a high-caliber doctor constitute the high costs of the medical profession; high technology, high responsibility and high sacrifices constitute the high risks of the medical profession; the contrast between the input of high intelligence, high academic degree, and high expertise and the output of low economic income tends to warp the minds of doctors. The inversion of the burden of proof in medical lawsuits has practically put doctors on the weak side. Their rights and interests as well as their practice circumstances have been disregarded. For the sake of the development of the health cause, it is imperative to respect the labor of doctors and to provide them with sound survival circumstances.

Objective To investigate the impact of pelvic muscle training (PFMT) on the quality of life (QOL) and incidence of postoperative complications in stress urinary incontinence (SUI) patients after tension-free vaginal tape surgery (TVT). In order to provide evidence for clinical nurses taking measures to promote rehabilitation of postoperative patients. Methods A total of 101 female SUI patients who underwent TVT surgery were included in this study. 50 patients in the trial group received pelvic muscle training guidance by one-to-one for 3months while 51 patients in the control group were instructed to the routine discharge guidance. All patients were asked to finish the Incontinence-specific Quality of Life questionnaire (I-QOL) at the day before surgery and 3 months after the surgery, respectively. And incidence of postoperative complications were evaluated at 3 months after the surgery. Results A total of 94 participants completed all questionnaires, including 48 patients of the trial group and 46 patients of the control group. The postoperative score of I-QOL in the trial group were higher than that of control group (94.32 vs. 90.34, Z=3.863, P<0.01). Further analysis found that avoidance and limiting behaviors domain score (90.63 vs.87.50, Z=3.227, P<0.01) and psychosocial impacts domain score (97.22 vs. 90.28, Z=4.186, P<0.01) in the trial group were higher than that of control group. The incidence of postoperative urgency urinary incontinence was significantly difference between the two groups (χ2=4.953,P=0.026), the proportion were 16.67% (8/48) in the trial group and 36.96% (17/46) in the control group, respectively. According to the results, the patients′overall quality of life of the trial group was better than that of control group after surgery. Conclusions Postoperative SUI patients′implementation of pelvic muscle training can significantly increase their quality of life and can decrease the incidence of urgency urinary incontinence.

OBJECTIVE: To study mutations in the GJB2 gene in Kazak patients with nonsyndromic hearing impairment from Xinjiang. METHOD: One hundred and ninety-three cases of Kazak from the Xinjiang region, including 97 cases of hearing loss and 96 cases of normal people, were performed mutational analysis of the GJB2 coding region by PCR-direct sequencing. RESULT: Eight kinds of mutation were found in the encoding region of hearing impairment group:12 cases of 35 delG homozygous, 5 cases of 79G>A homozygous, 8 cases of 79G>A heterozygous, 1 case of 79G>A heterozygous and 608T>C heterozygous, 5 cases of 79G>A heterozygous and 341A>G heterozygous, 4 cases of 235 delC heterozygous, 2 cases of 341A>G heterozygous, 1 case of 439T>G heterozygous, 1 cases of 457G> A heterozygous, 2 cases of 521G>A homozygous. Four kinds of mutations found in the normal group were confirmed as common polymorphic mutation. CONCLUSION The study suggests that the GJB2 gene mutation of the Kazak deaf population in Xinjiang has ethnic and regional characteristics. There is a rather high carrier frequency of GJB2 mutation of Kazak patients in Xinjiang. In this study the 35 delG mutation is a common mutation of Kazak patients.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of gastroesophageal junction(GEJ) in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) using high resolution manometry (HRM),and the features in different GERD subtypes,reflux esophagitis (RE) and non-erosive gastrooesophageal reflux disease (NERD).Methods Sixty GERD patients were divided into two subtypes,RE (n =33) and NERD(n =27),based on the results of endoscopy.All patients received HRM,and were divided into three subtypes,type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ according to the GEJ pressure morphology.HRM results among different subtypes were investigated.Results In 60 GERD patients,the GEJ was divided into three subtypes,including 26 cases of type Ⅰ (RE =14,NERD =12),29 cases of type Ⅱ (RE =14,NERD =15) and 5 cases of type Ⅲ (RE =5).The characteristics of GEJ morphologic subtypes were analyzed.The total length of lower esophageal sphincter(LES) of three GEJ subtypes(type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ) were (3.35 ± 0.56) cm,(3.29 ± 0.87) cm and(2.43 ± 0.22)cm,respectively.The LES intra-abdominal length of three GEJ subtypes were(2.41 ± 0.68) cm,(3.07 ± 4.59) cm and (0.00 ± 0.00) cm,respectively.The LES rest pressure of three GEJ subtypes were (22.00 ± 8.00) mmHg,(16.46 ± 8.60) mmHg and (11.07 ± 5.80) mmHg,respectively.The total length of LES were significantly different among three subtypes (P ＜ 0.05).The LES rest pressure were not significantly different among three subtypes (P ＞ 0.05).Among type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ patients,there were no significant difference in LES-CD distance,total length of LES,LES intra-abdominal length and LES rest pressure between RE group and NERD group.Conclusion HRM can clearly distinguish the GEJ subtypes.To some extent,esophageal motility characteristics of the patients with different subtypes GEJ is various.However,it still needs further studies with larger sample size to confirm.

Objective To investigate the role of p38 MAPK in the trypsin-induced injury in human esophageal epithelial cells.Methods Primary cultured human esophageal epithelial cells were stimulated with trypsin (20,40,and 80 μg/ml) for4 hours,phosphorylation of p38 MAPK was evaluated by Western blotting.Primary cultured human esophageal epithelial cells were stimulated with trypsin (40 μg/ml) and treated with p38 MAPK inhibitor (SB203580,1 and 10 μmol/L) simultaneously.Four hours later,the cells were collected for analysis.Results Western blotting results revealed that stimulation with trypsin enhanced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK,indicating that trypsin activated p38 MAPK in esophageal epithelial cells.SB203580 treatment suppressed trypsin-induced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin-8 (IL-8),cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2),and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFcα).Finally,SB203580 treatment suppressed trypsin-induced upregulation of protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS),and subsequently reduced nitric oxide (NO) levels.Conclusions The regulation of p38 MAPK was involved in the trypsin-induced injury in esophageal epithelial cells.

Objective: Cellular proliferate inhibition, senescence or apoptosis are induced by telomere shortening through the activation of P53 pathway, but so far, little is known of the mechanism. This study aimed to clarify the molecular regulation of P53 through telomere pathway by the investigation of molecular interaction between P53 and the main telomere associated protein telomeric repeat binding protein 1(TRBP1) in vitro. Methods: Glutathione S-transferase (GST) alone and 4 different human P53-GST fusion proteins were expressed in E. coli. and purified through glutathione Sepharose TM 4B by affinity chromatography, P53s were wild type P53 (1-393), N terminal truncated form P53 2C (95-393), C terminal truncated form P53 N5 (2-293) and single amino acid mutant P53 R175H (175 arginine to histidine). Glutathione Sepharose TM 4B, purified GST alone and P53 fusions were mixed with human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 cellular protein extracts through in vitro binding assay-pull down, the molecular interaction between P53 and TRBP1 were detected by Western blot. Results: SDS-PAGE and Coomassie brilliant blue staining showed that the molecular weights of all the purified proteins were as expected and purities were over 90%. Western blot of TRBP1 showed that both wild type P53 and P53 R175H could bind to TRBP1 of MCF-7 cells, and their binding capacities are similar, whereas GST alone and Glutathione Sepharose TM 4B beads couldn’t. Compared with both of them, the interaction between P53 2C and TRBP1 enhanced dramatically, but between P53 N5 and TRBP1 reduced significantly.Conclusion: P53 can interact with TRBP1 directly and in vitro, C terminus of P53 (293-393) is the structural domain of their interaction. This C terminus domain dependent interaction between P53 and TRBP1 may be related to the cellular activities induced by telomere dynamic changing.

Objective To explore whether LDL and oxLDL may induce kidney tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its mechanism. Methods The second generation human kidney tubular epithelial cells (TECs) were cultured for 24 hours in different conditions as (1) serum free as control, (2) treated with LDL (50 ?g/ml) , (3) treated with oxLDL(50 ?g/ml), (4) treated with LDL(50 ?g/ml) plus PD98059(5 ?mlo/L) , (5) treated with oxLDL(50 ?g/ml) plus PD98059 (5 ?mol/L). The expression of cytokeratin, E-cadherin, ?-SMA and vimentin was assessed by immunofluorescence and Western-blot. Western-blot was also performed to test the expression of collagen I and phospho-ERKl/2MAPK and phospho-GSK-3?. Results oxLDL was more potently in inducing tubular EMT than LDL at 24 hours as demonstrated by de novo a-SMA expression, increased expression of vimentin, partial loss of cytokeratin and reduction of E-cadherin expression by TECs. The expression of collagen I and phospho-ERKl/2MAPK and phospho-GSK-3? was increased in TECs stimulated by LDL or oxLDL. MAPK inhibitor (PD98059) inhibited the phosphorylation of GSK-3P and almost completely blocked oxLDL-induced tubular EMT. However, PD98059 alone was able to inhibit LDL-induced tubular EMT partially. Conclusions oxLDL is more potently in inducing tubular EMT than LDL. The ERKl/2MAPK-GSK-3? signaling pathway mediates the LDL or oxLDL-induced tubular EMT.

Objective To study the effects of high albumin, high glucose and low bovine serum on the phenotypic transformation of renal tubular epithelial cells. Methods The normal human kidney proximal tubular eel] line (HKC) was cultured for 30 days in the presence of high albumin (1.5 g/L), high glucose(25 mmol/L) and low bovine serum(2% ) . Morphological changes were observed by electronic microscopy. Immunohistochemistry stain was used to examine the expression of cytokeratin, vimentin, a-SMA, collagen Ⅰ and TGF-pl protein. Western blot was applied to further detect the process of collagen I protein expression, and in situ hybridization was used to examined the expression of collagen Ⅰ gene. Results Renal tubular epithelial cells cultured in high albumin, high glucose and low bovine serum showed obvious morphologic changes, including elongated shape, decrease of microvilli and mitochondria, and increase of rough endoplasmic reticulum under electronic microscopy. Immunohistochemistry stain revealed the reduction of cytokeratin, and enhancement of vimentin, ?-SMA, TGF-?1 and collagen Ⅰ. Western blot demonstrated that the expression of collagen Ⅰincreased in a time-dependent manner, and in situ hybridization showed that collagen type Ⅰ mRNA increased as well. Conclusion High albumin, high glucose and low bovine serum induce phenotypic transformation of renal tubular epithelial cells into mesanchymal cells.
