BACKGROUND: Uncoupling of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is the main cause for transplantation rejection, and it is the best way to prevent transplantation rejection by induce immunological tolerance of the recipient to the donor organ. Self-tolerant T cells can be obtained by negative selection in thymus, whether the intrathymic injection of allogenic antigen can get the immunological tolerance to the antigen?OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of intrathymic injection of allogenic antigen on inducing immunological tolerance in nerve transplantation.DESIGN: A comparative observation.SETTINGS: Department of Immunology, Harbin Medical University; Department of Orthopaedics, Fourth Clinical Hospital of Harbin Medical University.MATERIALS: Thirty donor C57BL/6 mice (H-2b), male, aged from 6-8 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, were purchased from the Veterinarian Institute of Heilongjiang Province; While 60 recipient Balb/c mice (H-2b) female, aged from 6-8 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, from Beijing Experimental Animal Center. MHC (H-2b) antigen was prepared by the Department of Immunology, Harbin Medical University, and the concentration of protein was 4.4 g/L.METHODS: The experiments were carried out in the Department of Immunology, Harbin Medical University from June to November 2002. The recipient Balb/c mice were randomly divided into four groups: intrathymic injection group, syngenic transplantation group, allogenic transplantation group and immunosuppressant drug group. MHC (H-2b) antigen was extracted from splenic cells of donor C57BL/6 mice and injected intrathymically into recipient Balb/c mice (H-2d). Two weeks later, the sciatic nerve was transplanted to the recipient mice. Mixed lymphocyte reaction and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) were detected at 3 weeks after transplantation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The differences of mixed lymphocyte reaction and DTH were compared among the groups.RESULTS: All the 30 donor C25BL/6 mice (H-2b) and 60 recipient Balb/c mice (H-2d) were involved in the analysis of results.①Results of mixed lymphocyte reaction: The cell proliferations in the syngenic transplantation group and intrathymic injection group were obviously lower than that in the allogenic transplantation group [(546.1±75.1), (2 668.3±533.8), (3 101.3±429.1), (4 312.3±534.1) minutes-1, P＜0.05].②Results of DTH: The thicknesses difference between two pads in the syngenic transplantation group and intrathymic injection group were obviously lower than that in the allogenic transplantation group [(41.1±3.7), (72.1±5.1), (57.6±11.3), (86.2±13.2)μm, P＜0.05].CONCLUSION:The intrathymic injection of donor H-2b antigen could induce immunological tolerance of nerve transplantation.

The "pre-disease" theory of traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the dynamic and continuous evolution from health to disease, and emphasizes early identification and intervention in the complex and gradual process of evolution from health to disease. The "pre-disease" theory and complexity science share the same perspective on health and disease from the standpoint of features of the dynamic evolution and holism, i. e., life is considered as a complex system with ongoing dynamic changes, which exhibit the nonlinear features of " homeostasis-destabilization-phase transition-another homeostasis". In this paper, from the perspective of nonlinear dynamics in complexity science, we explain the scientific connotation of the evolution law of "pre-disease"-disease based on the theory of critical slowing down in traditional Chinese medicine. Based on the theory of critical slowing down and the dynamic network biomarker method generated by its development, combined with the macro signs of comprehensive analysis of data gained by four diagnostic method and the micro features including transcriptomics and the microbiomics, this paper proposes to integrate macro and micro multi-hierarchy information to construct a "pre-disease" critical slowing down identification model with the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment, which provides a new perspective and method for the early warning of complex diseases.

We strive to explore a student-centered evaluation system focused on improving students' learning efficiency and learning effect. Through classroom questioning, discussion of difficult cases, new progress report, question bank test, writing of clerkship notes, simulated inquiry between students with bedside inquiry, physical examination between students with bedside physical examination, operation training of basic clinical skills, direct observation and evaluation of clinical skills, mini-clinical exercise evaluation, graduation examination and other measures, an evaluation system for promoting learning by class evaluation, clerkship evaluation and practice evaluation has been established to cultivate the connotation construction of medical moral quality and clinical practice ability of medical students, and further promote the mastery of basic theoretical knowledge and clinical operation skills. By comparing the results of the phased examination for medical practitioners, the passing rate of 2018 is significantly higher than that of 2017, with 23.31% increased passing rate of theoretical results, and 0.79% increased passing rate of skills operation results. It can be seen that the evaluation system for promoting learning has played a guiding role in the teaching practice of clinical courses in our hospital.

Case-based reasoning is a method of reasoning from experience to solve current problems in the field of cognitive science， which has the advantages of easy acquisition of knowledge， simple operation steps， and the ability to improve the efficiency of reasoning with the growth of experience. Formula-syndrome differentiation is a method of differentiation and treatment based on the scope of the adapted disease， disease mechanism， therapeutic methods， and contraindications of the formula. Analysed from the perspectives of concept， applicable field， and implementation steps， it is believed that the concept of formula-syndrome differentiation belongs to the scope of case-based reasoning， the clinical diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine belongs to the applicable field of case-based reasoning， and the steps of formula-syndrome differentiation are consistent with the process of case-based reasoning. Based on the characteristics of case-based reasoning， we analyse the advantages， limitations and problems to be noted in the process of formula-syndrome differentiation， and put forward four strategies to improve the ability of formula-syndrome differentiation， including accumulating experience on formulas and syndromes， cultivating the ability to grasp the main symptoms， accumulating a rule base to improve the ability to modify formulas according to the symptoms， and improving the ability to assess the effect of treatment plans and obtain corresponding feedback， with a view to promoting the clinical application of formula-syndrome differentiation.

Background and objective Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in men and wom-en. It is also the most common cause of brain metastases. A brain metastasis model is diffcult to be established because of the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the lack of optimal methods for detecting brain metastasis in nude mice. hTus, the establishment of a Chinese lung adenocarcinoma cell line and its animal model with brain metastasis potency and in vivo research is of great signiifcance. Methods CPA-Yang1 cells were obtained from a patient with human lung adeno-carcinoma by lentiviral vector-mediated transfection of green lfuorescence protein. Intracardiac inoculation of the cells was performed in nude mice, and brain metastatic lesions were detected using micro 18F FDG-PET/CT scanners, small animal in vivo imaging system for lfuorescence, radionuclide and X ray fused imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with sense body detection, and resection. hTe samples were divided into two parts for cell culture and histological diagnosis. hTe process was repeated in vivo and in vitro for four cycles to obtain a novel cell clone, CPA-Yang1-BR. Results A novel cell clone, CPA-Yang1-BR, was obtained with a brain metastatic rate of 50%. hTe use of MRI for the detection of brain metasta-ses has obvious advantages. Conclusion An experimental Chinese lung adenocarcinoma cell clone (CPA-Yang1-BR) and its animal model with brain metastasis potency in nude mice were established. MRI with sense body or micro MRI may be used as a sensitive, accurate, and noninvasive method to detect experimental brain metastases in intact live immunodeifcient mice. hTe results of this study may serve as a technical platform for brain metastases from lung adenocarcinoma.
