Despite efforts to develop treatment technology for cardiac arrest (CA), CA incidence and mortality rates are still high.[1,2] A recent study of CA patients in emergency departments revealed that the incidence of CA is increasing annually, and the in-hospital survival rate of CA patients is only approximately 28.7%.[3] Echocardiography has been widely used as an important monitoring tool in critical care and helps to identify the cause of shock, monitor hemodynamics, and guide fluid therapy utilization.[4] One study reported that approximately one-third of patients underwent formal echocardiography during hospitalization in the intensive care unit (ICU).[5]

Commercialization of the doctors sector and lawyers sector, and that of medical services, sharp rise of medical disputes and its impact on healthcare services have grown into major challenges for the healthcare system in the United States where litigation is the legal way out of medical disputes at large.Anglo-American law system depends heavily on precedence as the criteria and the majority of such disputes trials are held in state courts, there is also a complete system of laws and decrees on medical disputes on the federation level.In an effort to handle medical disputes that are rising sharply in a piling-up amount, American lawyers, social organizations of arbitration and medicine, and many state courts are seeking alternative dispute resolution as a better way out for medical dispute mediation and resolution.Given the gaps between China and USA in social systems, legal systems, ,economic development, cultural background, healthcare systems and heahhcare security systems, these experiences will prove their value of reference for medical disputes resolution in China.

ObjectiveTo compare of the thickness of left ventricular wall of Ang Ⅱ induced cardiac hypertrophy model in both TR3 konock-out C57BL/6 mice (TR3-/- mice) and wild type C57BL/6 mice (TR3+/+ mice) by high frequency ultrasound,combined with experimental research to discuss if TR3 take part in the process of cardiac hypertrophy.Methods26 TR3 -/- mice and 33 TR3 +/+ mice were randomized to 2 groups respectively:TR3+/+ + AngⅡ group (27 mice),TR3+/+ + PBS group(6 mice),TR3-/- + Ang Ⅱ group(20 mice),TR3-/- + PBS group(6 mice).Micro-pumps with AngⅡ or PBS were placed into the subcutaneous tissue of mice to construct hypertension model in 4 weeks.Interventricular septum enddiastolic thickness (IVSd) and left ventricular posterior wall end-diastolic thickness (LVPWd) were measured by echocardiography 2 days before operation and every week after operation until 4 weeks.Then,mice were killed and mice cardiomyocytes were isolated and detected in lab (HE dyeing test,Western blotting).Results①Echocardiography:before operation,IVSd and LVPWd was not statistically different between TR3+/+ group and TR3-/- group( P ＞0.05).1 - 2 weeks after operation,IVSd and LVPWd had peaked in both TR3-/- + Ang Ⅱ group and TR3 +/+ + Ang Ⅱ group,IVSd and LVPWd in TR3 +/+ + Ang Ⅱgroup were significantly thicker than control group (TR3 +/+ + PBS group) ( P ＜0.05),IVSd and LVPWd in TR3-/-+ AngⅡ group were slightly thicker than control group (TR3-/- + PBS group) ( P ＜0.05).Compared with TR3-/- + Ang Ⅱ group,IVSd and LVPWd in TR3+/+ + Ang Ⅱ group were markedly increased( P ＜0.05).After 4 weeks operation,IVSd and LVPWd of all 4 groups were not statistically different than that in the 2nd week.②HE dyeing test:The cell size of cardiomyocytes in TR3+/+ mice increased significantly after Ang Ⅱ treatment,while TR3-/- mice did not.③ Western blotting:Ang Ⅱ promoted TR3 expressions in TR3 +/+ mice( P ＜0.05).ConclusionsTR3 do take part in the process of Ang Ⅱ induced cardiac hypertrophy in mice and it is a key factor in this process.

Laboratory animal science has become a main support for the development of life science and has occupied an importance place in higher medical education.The paper analyzed the characteristics and problems of laboratory animal science and proposed the ideas of applying conformational memory teaching in laboratory animal science teaching from there aspects:teaching method,teaching frame and teaching effect.These measures established the foundation for the cultivation of applied talents with comprehensive competence.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common fatal aortic disease.The rupture of AAA is the procession affected by multiple factors.Besides physiological,pathological and biochemical changes,morphological and biomechanical alteration can also influence this procession.The progress of rupture risk evaluation through morphological and biomechanical characteristics of AAA were reviewed in this article.

Phylogenetic markers are the gene fragments that demonstrate the gene tic relationships between organisms To differentiate close taxa, many new phyl oge n etic markers were used, with which the polyphasic taxonomy was enriched This a r ticle chiefly described the characters of several phylogenetic markers and their applications in the studies of the phylogenetics of bacteria

Objective To establish a new method to identify and analyze Qingdai Powder and its composition.Methods X-ray Diffraction with Fourier pattern was used.Results The standard X-ray diffraction with Fourier pattern and characteristic diffraction peaks of Qingdai Powder and its composition drugs were obtained.Conclusion The powder X-ray diffraction method can be used as a simple and convenient method for the identification of Qingdai Powder and its composition drugs.

Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of recombinant mutant human tumor necrosis factor(rmhTNF-?)combined with cisplatin(DDP)against transplanted Lewis lung carcinoma(LLC)in mice,and to explore the related mechanism.Methods:LLC cells were subcutaneously inoculated into C57BL/6 mice at the right axilla and the mice were randomly divided into 4 groups:sodium chloride(control group),DDP group,rmhTNF-? group,rmhTNF-? plus DDP group.On the 7th day after inoculation the diameter of the tumor reached 0.6 cm;the corresponding agents were intratumorally injected for 3 d.All mice were sacrificed 1 d later and the tumors were obtained,weighed,and the tumor inhibitory rate was calculated.Flow cytometric analysis was used to examine cells apoptosis and cell cycle.Expression of survivin mRNA was examined by RT-PCR.Results:(1)The tumor inhibitory rates of the DDP plus rmhTNF-? group(36.61%)was significantly higher than those of the DDP group(17.12%)and rmhTNF-? group(15.83%,P

AIM:To observe the effect of lidocaine to the activation of NF-?B and apoptosis in human neutrophils(PMN)in vitro.METHODS:Human PMN were divided into five groups:control group(0.9% sodium chloride);TNF-?(200 ng/L);TNF-?+lidocaine(1.0 mmol/L);TNF-?+lidocaine(2.0 mmol/L),and TNF-?+ lidocaine(4.0 mmol/L).The expression of NF-?B subunit p65 mRNA in the nuclear and I-?B mRNA in the cytosol extracts were analyzed by Western blotting,after co-incubation for 3 h and the content of p65 protein were observed by RT-PCR.PMN apoptosis was detected on flow cytometry after co-incubation 12 h and 24 h.RESULTS:The expression of NF-?B mRNA was significantly decreased and the expression of I-?B mRNA was markedly increased in lidocaine groups(P
