Through studying Marxism philosophy,medical graduate students can master scientific methodology and dialectic thought.This is helpful to analyze and comprehend rightly different kind of complicated issues and to improve cognition level and practice ability.It is also very important for medical graduate students to guide political education and moral cultivation,medical practice and science research.

Objective To investigate the effect of 6 % hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 200/0.5 infusion before operation on postoperative immne function in patients. Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes aged 21-58 yr weighing 47-79 kg were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 20 each): 6% HES 200/0.5 group (group H) and compound sodium acetate group (group A). 6% HES 200/0.5 10 ml/kg or compound sodium acetate solution was infused intravenously over 15 min before anesthesia induction. Anesthesia was induced with iv injection of propofol, fentanyl and vecuronium and maintained with target-controlled infusion of propofol and infusion of remifentanil. Venous blood samples were collected before operation and at 1 h, 1 day and 3 days after operation to detect the serum concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-10, IgG, IgA andIgM. Results Serum concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, II-2 and IL-10 were significantly higher after operation in the two groups, and serum concentrations of IgA and IgG were significantly lower after operation in group A than those before operation ( P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ). Serum concentrations of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α were significantly lower, while serum concentrations of IL-2, IL-10, IgA and IgG were significantly higher after operation in group H than in group A ( P ＜0.05). Conclusion Preoperative infusion with 6% HES 200/0.5 can improve the immune function after operation in patients.

This paper analyzed the cultivation of postgraduates of anesthesiology and the academic achievements in anesthesiology department from 2003 to 2010 in our hospital and explored the experiences in postgraduate cultivation.Cultivation of postgraduates of anesthesiology should focus on multidisciplinary integration,cross-discipline communication,extension of scientific thinking,enhancement of clinical skills so as to create the opportunity for clinical and research work.

In the trends of large-scale brain research projects around the world, the China Brain Project aims to promote the understanding of the basic principles of the brain, and use the basic research of neuroscience to serve some urgent social and economic needs at the same time.As we approach the launch of this effort aimed at revolutionizing our understanding of cognitive principles of the brain, early diagnoses of brain diseases and brain-like intelligence technologies, it is timely to review the new progress in recent international brain research projects, and the deployment and future trajectory of neuroscience research in China.

The research projects sponsored by grants provided by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the articles published in the journals indexed for Science Citation Index in the field of anesthesiology from 1999 to 2009 were collected and analyzed with respect of the number, classification, impact factors etc. It has been found that the number of the grants and the articles were steadily increasing. The researches were mainly confined to the mechanism of anesthesia, pain and organ protection.
