The systematic teaching does better to help students master and use what they have learned, and it will be good for avoidance of repeated contents and shortening teaching time. It can also help students find more interest in studying neurology.

Gene expressions of interleukin-6 receptor subunit gp130 and gp80 were investigated by competitive RT-PCR in the rat model of osteoporosis. A significant increase in expressions of gp130 and gp80 was found in bone marrow of osteoporotic rat, this change may be a possible mechanism in osteoporosis due to loss of estrogen.

Objective To upgrade ordinary gastrointestinal machine to a digital one which can be connected to PACS.Methods By adding extra camera lens,frame grabber and processing software,ordinary gastrointestinal machine was transformed.Results The updated machine could work in digital way with fully DICOM support.Conclusion By analyzing the X-ray imaging chain,a digitalization method of gastrointestinal machine is presented,which can server as a guideline to digital transformation of non-digital X-ray machines.

Objective:To investigate the effect of catgut implantation at acupoint,Compound Erxian Decoction on levels of serum cytokine in ovariectomized rats.Methods:Sixty 3-month-old female Sprague-drawley rats,weighed 230?20g each,were divided into six groups,ten rats in each group.The first group were sham-operated(Sham-G),while the remaining groups,established by excising both sides ovary,were catgut-acupuncture group(CAG),Chinese herb group(CHG),catgut-acupuncture plus Chinese herb group(CCG),estrogen group(EG)and model group(MG).There wasn’t any therapy in sham-operated group and model group.After 12 weeks corresponding therapy,all groups were sacrificed to procure blood serum for testing the contents of E 2 ,GM-CSF,IGF-1,TNF-?by means of radioimmunoassay and both retral thighbone for testing bone mineral density(BMD) and bone mineral content(BMC)in each specimen.Results:The BMD and BMC of thighbone,E 2 and IGF-1 of serum and in CAG,CHG,CCG and EG was compared with Sham-G,there was no significant difference,but which was higher than MG(P

Objective To investigate the pathologic base of breast cancer malignant halo.Methods The status of margin of 80 cases confirmed breast nonspecific invasive ductal cancer by pathology were determined preoperatively.80 cases were divided into two groups:malignant halo group and non malignant halo group.The estrogen receptor (ER),progesterone receptor (PR),human endothelial growth factor receptor (CerB-2),nuclear protein antibodies (Ki-67) expression were detected by immunohistochemical method.The histological grade,mitotic count and documented tumor size,patient age and the number of lymph node metastases,breast cancer margin on pathology were observed.Halo tissue were drawn from specimens and the tissue structure were observed.Results Ki-67 expression in malignant halo group were significantly lower than those in non malignant halo group.The observing results of the margin status of breast cancer on ultrasound and pathology were consistent.Halo tissue was mainly composed of fatty tissue and scattered clumps of cancerous tissue,fibrous tissue,normal lobular and tubular.Conclusions Malignant halo is a special manifestation of breast cancer on gray-scale ultrasound.

Anatomical hepatic segmentectomy is the treatment of choice for hepatolithiasis. However, in consideration of the volume of residual liver and the liver function, anatomical polysegmentectomy of the bilateral lobes for hepatolithiasis is restricted. Protection of the portal pedicles to the segments preserved and avoidance of ischemia/reperfusion injury to the residual liver parenchyma are critical steps during the operation.A female patient with hepatolithiasis and had a surgical history of choledocholithiasis removal and T-tube drainage received ana tomic polysegmentectomy with segments Ⅰ and Ⅳ preservation at the General Hospital of Kunming Medical College. During the operation, Portal pedicles to the segments Ⅰ , Ⅱ, right lobe,and segments Ⅱ and Ⅲ were isolated prior to liver parenchyma transection. Portal pedicles to segments Ⅰ and Ⅳ were protected under direct visualization. Hepatoduodenal ligament occlusion was not applied during liver parenchyma transaction. Segments Ⅱ- Ⅲ and Ⅴ-Ⅷ were anatomically resected, and segments Ⅰ ,Ⅳ were preserved with satisfactory vascularization. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged 14 days after the operation.

The aim of this study was to explored the mechanism of inhibitory effect of chloroquine on IL-6 release induced synergistically by bacterial DNA and endotoxin. Before experiment mice were sensitized for 1 hour with D-GalN by I.P. injection. Mortality within seven days was observed after mice were challenged with CpG ODN or LPS with or without chloroquine treatment. ANA-1 cell line cells were cultivated in vitro. We investigated the influence of chloroquine on IL-6 release induced by both EC DNA and LPS. Expressions of TLR4 and TLR9 and activation of NF-?B p65 were investigated in cultured THP-1 cells pretreated with chloroquine and stimulated by EC DNA and LPS. The results showed that all mice died within 4 hours after challenged with CpG ODN and LPS. Only 4 or 5 mice pretreated with chloroquine (30mg/kg) died after challenged with CpG ODN and LPS (P

To study the effectiveness of gene therapy for acoustic trauma induced by intensive noise, the replication defective adenovirus that carries human neurotrophin 3 cDNA(Ad NT3) was inoculated into the guinea pig cochlea 3 days after exposure. ABR and CAP were recorded after 14 days and 2 months, respectively. No difference was found 14 days after exposure. At the end of two months, the Ad NT3 treated animals showed less ABR threshold shift, lower CAP threshold and shorter CAP N1 latency by 100dBSPL click. The result suggested that Ad NT3 could be used to express the neurotrophins within the cochlea and reduce noise induced hearing loss in vivo .

Diabetes and lung cancer are common diseases worldwide , which have a serious impact on human health .Recently epidemiologic research has found that diabetes , which may enhance the incidence of lung cancer , is one of the risk factors of lung canc-er.The metformin, a first-line drug for treatment of type 2 diabetes, can decrease the incidence of lung cancer and may have an anti-lung-cancer bioactivity ,but its mechanisms are unclear .To make a further study of the mechanisms is expected to reduce the morbidity and is possible to help us find a new therapeutic target .The aim of this article is to review the potential mechanism of the metformin′s anti-lung-cancer activity .
