Objective To draw up the Chinese Words Reading Test and try to use it as way of premorbid intelligence. Methods 373 health middle-elderly people as study subjects, from five communities in Shanghai city, are between age 55 and 85, and their edueational background is junior high school or above, and their MMSE scores are more than 24 points. 34 of the cases have finished CWRT and Weehsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) Chinese Revised edition. The main analysis indicators of CWRT: CWRT-Ⅰ for number of right reading 50 characters and CWRT-Ⅱ for 50 words. Results Both CWRT-Ⅰ and CWRT-Ⅱ are relative to education level( r = 0.462,0.489, and P < 0.01), while the correlation with age is not signifieant. Performance of the male participants are better than that of the female. The coefficient of correlation between scores of CWRT-Ⅰ and full IQ of WAIS is 0.79. The mean and standard deviation of scores of CWRT-Ⅰ and CWRT-Ⅱ for the normal elder people with different education levels and gender are provided. Conclusion CWRT is not very diffieuh or easy, and is highly relative to score of WAIS. So it can be used as an evaluating tool for premorbid intelligence.

Aim To study the preparation of α-cobro-toxin-loaded poly ( lactide-co-glycolide ) microspheres and their analgesic effect. Method The microspheres were prepared by modified water-in-oil-in-oil ( w/o/o ) emulsion solvent evaporation method. A tail flick assay was used to evaluate the analgesic activity of the micro-spheres after nasal administration. Result The micro-spheres with high entrapment efficiency ( >80%) and average diameter of about 25 μm could be prepared by modified water-in-oil-in-oil ( w/o/o ) emulsion solvent evaporation method. A tail flick assy showed the evi-dence for their analgesic effect. Conclusion When Chinese cobraneurotoxin is loaded into microsphere and then the microsphere is administered through nasal cav-ity, its analgesic effect is enhanced significantly.

The 1,095 bp gene encoding peroxidase from Coprinus cinereus was synthesized and integrated into the genome of Pichia pastoris with a highly inducible alcohol oxidase. The recombinant CiP (rCiP) fused with the a-mating factor per-pro leader sequence derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was secreted into the culture medium and identified as the target protein by mass spectrometry, confirming that a C. cinereus peroxidase (CiP) was successfully expressed in P. pastoris. The endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductase 1 (Ero1) and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) were co-expressed with rCiP separately and simultaneously. Compared with the wild type, overexpression of PDI and Erol-PDI increaseed Cip activity in 2.43 and 2.6 fold and their activity reached 316 U/mL and 340 U/mL respectively. The strains co-expressed with Erol-PDI was used to high density fermentation, and their activity reached 3,379 U/mL, which was higher than previously reported of 1,200 U/mL.

Objective To learn the effects of crude herb moxibustion combined with rehabilitation training on the recovery of pulmonary functions and quality of life of patients with stable-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) in Nanning communities. Methods Two hundred patients with stable-stage COPD, sampled from Nanning communities and used as the subjects of this study, were divided into the experiment group and the control group by the random number table method. Patients in the control group were given conventional medication and community health care education and guides;Patients in the experiment group were not only offered the same treatment as mentioned above, but treated during dog days and the coldest days of winter with moxibustion medicine cakes which were applied accurately on selected acupuncture points, together with moxibustion with moxa cone done on the cakes. Treatment was done 6 times in each course of treatment, and 2 courses were given, combined with rehabilitation training. Examination of pulmonary functions was conducted for all patients before and after the treatment and St. George′s Respiratory Questionnaires (SGRQ) were distributed to them. Results Forced vital capacity patients, forced expiratory volume in first second, the percentage of forced expiratory volume in first second and forced vital capacity of experimental group before the intervention were (2.27 ± 0.36) L, (1.56 ± 0.30) L, (44.81 ± 5.35) %, while six months after the intervention were (3.36 ± 0.42) L, (2.25 ± 0.27) L, (65.38 ±8.08)%. The difference was statistically significant (t=18.90, 16.40, 20.36, P<0.01);The above indexes of control group respectively before intervention were (2.28±0.43) L, (1.58±0.33) L, (45.17 ± 4.97) %, while six months after the intervention were (2.57 ± 0.57) L, (1.71 ± 0.35) L, (46.94 ± 8.42)%. Difference was not statistically significant (t = 1.81, 2.04, 1.70, P > 0.05). Differences between two groups before intervention had no statistical significance (t = 0.17, 0.43, 0.47, P > 0.05), and differences between two groups after the intervention were statistically significant (t=10.62, 11.62, 14.99, P < 0.01). In the experimental group,before intervention the total score of SGRQ and the part scores of symptom, the activity ability and the influence of the disease were (16.56 ± 1.76) points, (10.44 ± 1.57) points, (18.55±2.17) points, (45.73 ± 2.53) points, 6 months after the intervention the scores were (10.77 ± 1.56) points, (7.28±1.23) points, (14.33 ±1.66) points, (32.98 ± 2.35) points. The difference was significant (t=14.82-35.50, P<0.01);In the control group before intervention the total scores of SGRQ and the part score of symptom, the activity ability and the influence of the disease were (16.47 ±1.81) points, (10.39 ± 1.66) points, (18.52 ± 2.16) points, (45.79 ± 2.49) points, 6 months after the intervention the scores were (16.12 ±1.36) points, (9.89 ±1.38) points, (16.96 ±1.58) points, (42.15±2.34) points. The lower score was not obvious, there was no statistically significant difference (t=1.45-2.17, P > 0.05). Intervention before comparing differences between two groups had no statistical significance (t=0.09-0.34, P > 0.05). Intervention after comparing differences between two groups was statistically significant (t=10.88-26.22, P<0.01). Conclusions Clinically, crude herb moxibustion combined with rehabilitation training is to some extent conducive to delaying the decrease in pulmonary functions, reducing complications, and improving the quality of life of patients with stable-stage COPD.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of dysplasia in myeledysplastic syndrome (MDS). Methods 716 samples of adult patients with abnormal blood routine and unelear cause were collected between July 04, 2003 and March 14, 2007. Based on the gold diagnostic standard of WHO MDS classification, all eases were detected on cytomorphology, cytochemical stain, bone marrow pathological assay,cytogenetics, flow eytometry et al. The cytological study of bone marrow on some abnormal hematopaietie cells has a diagnostic value to determine clonal or non-clonal diseases and assess sensitivity and specificity. Results in the complicated various dysplasia of hematopeiefic ceils, the following characteristics can be the main basis of cytomorphological diagnosis: one of granular Auer bodies, micronuclens (MN), or nuclear budding, erythroid nuclear budding, megakaryocytes presented in peripheral blood, myeloblast or prorubricyte exhibited in peripheral blood, ringed sideroblasts>1%. The subordinate basis of cytomorphological diagnosis development of nuclei, ring-shaped nuclei, and aggregation of nuclear chromafin, erythroid multi-nuclei, odd nucleus, mother-daughter nucleus, nuclear fragmentation, vacuole, anisoeytosis and mieromegakaryocytes.Conclusion Cytomorphologic assay is the base for the diagnosis of MDS, however, it presents certain limit,especially when eytomnrphoiogical change does not possess specificity for early MDS. Hereby, it requires to combine other deteetion methods.

Objective To establish case database of critical illness and explore the effect of critical case-based learning in the anesthesia teaching program as well as its influence on clinical thinking ability of students. Methods Case database of critical illness was built with foxtable software and ASAⅢ~Ⅴpatients undergoing anesthesia were included in the case database. Patients' information were recorded according to the sequence of pre-operative evaluation,intra-operative management and post-operative recovery. We designed a student questionnaire to investigate the effect of critical case-based learning. And we also compared the effect of critical case-based learning and traditional teaching on undergraduate interns, residents, and graduate students by scores of case analysis test. Data analysis used t test. Results The critical cases database is characterized by authenticity, hierarchy and for-wardness. Survey result of questionnaire shows that the proportions of students who believe critical case-based learning helps to strengthen the links of theory and clinical practice, to improve expression skills, and to promote active classroom atmosphere, solidarity and cooperation are 80%, 71.6% and 68.3%respectively. Compared with those who received traditional teaching, the residents and graduate students who received critical case-based learning get significantly higher scores in case analysis test. However, the difference of scores between undergraduate interns receiving traditional teaching or criti-cal case-based learning has no significance. Conclusion The establishment of critical cases database and its application in anesthesia teaching program have effectively improved clinical thinking ability of anesthesia residents and graduate students.
