Medical has the dual attributes essentially , which is not only a science but also a humanology . Therefore , it needs to be nourished by rich humanistic spirit .At present , the generalization of medical technology , the abnormal development of medicine socialization and the less care from humanities to medical and many other reasons lead to the lack of humanistic spirit of medicine .To correct the phenomenon of the disorder, we should explore the effective means actively to provide powerful support for the returning of the medical humanism .There-fore, using an appropriate method to strengthen the humanities education of medical students and attention in the classroom will be regarded as good path in medical humanities spirit returning .

Objective:To transfect human osteoprotegerin( o pg) gene into Cos-7 cells.Methods:The primers were designed b ased on the human opg cDNA sequence,total mRNA was isolated from 293 cells and RT-PCR was performed.The fragment of opg cDNA was inserted into pSecTag 2/B vector and sequenced by automatic sequence analyzer. The recombined plasmid was transfected into Cos-7 cells by Lipofectamine 2000 and OPG protein expressi on in Cos-7 cells was determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Results:The sequence of opg cDNA from 293 cells obtained by RT- PCR was identical to the sequence provided by GenBank [gi:33878056]. The fragm ents of the recombinant plasmid digested with Hind Ⅲ,EcoR I and BamH Ⅰ and exa mined by 10 g/L agarose electrophoresis were consistent with predicted size.OPG over-expressing Cos-7 cells was selected and confirmed by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Conclusion:Human opg gene may be transfect ed into Cos-7 cells.

This study compares and analyzes the similarities and differences between National Health Strategy in America and Healthy China 2030 from three aspects, namely the strategic goals, the main contents, and the leading health indicators.Considering China's social and economic environment, this paper proposes the following suggestions: 1) to emphasize the relevance, dynamics and continuity of health strategy;2) to focus on key population on the basis of full coverage;3) to identify the focus of each phase of implementation;and 4) to highly think of the establishment of systems, including information system, operational supervision system and evaluation index system, etc.These suggestions are meant to provide inspiration to the introduction and further development of the China's national health strategy.

Objective To analyze the methylation status and protein expression of Ras association domain family- 1A (RASSF1A) in endometriosis (EMS). Methods The ectopic and corresponding eutopic endometrium tissues were collected from 45 women with EMS and normal endometrium tissues of 20 women without EMS. The methylation status of RASSF1A was examined by methylation specific PCR (MSP). Immunohistochemistry was performed to measure the level of RASSF1A in endometrium tissues. Results The RASSF1A protein expression rate in ectopic endometrium, eutopic endometrium, and normal endometrium was 37.78%(17/45), 60.00%(27/45) and 85.00%(17/20), and there was significant difference (χ2 = 13.136, P = 0.001). The frequency of aberrant methylation of RASSF1A was 55.56%(25/45), 33.33%(15/45) and 0 in ectopic endometrium , eutopic endometrium, and normal endometrium, and there was significant difference (χ2 =18.770, P = 0.000). The frequency of aberrant methylation of RASSF1A had no significant differnce throughout the menstrual cycle in ectopic endometrium and eutopic endometrium: 66.67%(14/21) vs. 45.83%(11/24), 38.10%(8/21) vs. 29.17%(7/24), P>0.05. In ectopic endometrium, the frequency of aberrant methylation of RASSF1A inⅢ-Ⅲstage was significantly higher than that in Ⅰ-Ⅱstage (χ2=5.940, P=0.015). In ectopic endometrium and eutopic endometrium, the RASSF1A protein expression had negative correlation with aberrant methylation of RASSF1A (r =- 0.594、- 0.577, P<0.01). Conclusions Epigenetic inactivation of RASSF1A through aberrant promoter methylation may be strongly correlated with the formation and progression of EMS, and assessment of RASSF1A methylation status in eutopic endometrium may be a potentially useful biomarker to enhance the early detection of EMS.

Objective To evaluate the methylation status of RASSF2A in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) tissues and plasma, and to explore the correlations in two kinds of samples with clinicopathological characteristics. Methods The frequency of methylation of the RASSF2A gene in tissues and corresponding plasma samples from 60 EOC patients, 20 patients with benign ovarian tumors and 10 patients with normal ovarian tissues were detected respectively. The methylation-specific PCR was used to determine the methylation status. Results The frequency of aberrant methylation of RASSF2A was 58.3% (35/60) in EOC tissues and 43.3%(26/60) in corresponding plasma samples respectively, however, such hypermethylation was not detected in the benign ovarian tumors and normal ovarian samples, and there was significant difference between them (P<0.05). Besides, RASSF2A methylation levels in serum of EOC patients correlated reasonably well with methylation status in tumor samples (r=0.739, P=0.000). No significant differences were observed between the promoter hypermethylated status of the RASSF2A and clinicopathological characteristics (P>0.05). Conclusions The promoter methylation of RASSF2A gene is an early and frequent epigenetic event in EOC. Detection of promoter hypermethylation in plasma specimens can help the early diagnosis of EOC.

Objective:To investigate the changes of plasma free carnitine (FC) level in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with hypertension and the influence of L-carnitine(L-CN) on plasma FC,blood glucose and blood viscosity. Methods:Plasma FC, blood glucose and blood viscosity were measured in 20 type 2 diabetic patients with hypertension (group 1) and 20 patients with essential hypertension (group 2) before and after they received 3. 0 g/d /,-CN intravenous infusion for ]0 d. Re-sultstlt was observed that plasma FC level was lower in group 1 [(50. 59?13. 41) ?mol/L] than in group 2 [(63. 32? 15. 23) ?mol/L,P

AIM: To compare and analyze the stereopsis of intermittent exotropia children under the different backgrounds of dynamic stimuli and static stimuli.
METHODS: We collected 56 children ( male 26, female 30 with intermittent exotropia at the age from 5y to 12y and examined their stereopsis under the different backgrounds of dynamic stimuli and static stimuli using a multidimensional sense perception training software. The differences between the dynamic stereopsis and static stereopsis were compared.
RESULTS: Totally 17 cases ( 30%) had both dynamicstereopsis and static stereopsis, 39 cases ( 70%) had either dynamic or static stereopsis deficit, only 10 cases ( 26%) had dynamic stereopsis, 25 cases ( 64%) static stereopsis left and 4 cases ( 10%) were without any form of stereopsis. The positive rate of dynamic stereopsis was better than the positive rate of static stereopsis, with statistical significance (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Dynamicstereopsis is better than the static stereopsis to intermittent exotropia children.
