Objective:To investigate the pediatricians' needs in the contents of continuing medical education (CME), and the influencing factors of participating in CME, so as to provide references for improving their vocational ability.Methods:Questionnaire survey was carried out for the pediatricians from county-level medical institutions in the nine provinces of China. The questionnaire contents included: basic information, CME contents needs, and influencing factors of participating in CME. SPSS 22.0 was used for chi-square test.Results:A total of 465 questionnaires was recovered, among which 463 were qualified, with a pass rate of 99.6%. Research showed that ① In terms of competency training needs, pediatricians had higher training demand for ability of diagnosis and treatment of children's diseases, pediatrics basic skills and skills related to children's health care, etc. Pediatricians with junior or intermediate title had higher training demand for ability of self-learning and access to learning resources ( P < 0.01); and pediatricians with senior title had higher training demand for teaching ability ( P < 0.05). ② In terms of pediatrics specialty content training needs, pediatricians had higher demand for neonatology, infectious, respiratory, critical medicine, developmental behavior and digestion in order. ③ Regarding the influencing factors of CME, too few opportunities to participate in training, too busy to have time to participate, and defects in curriculum arrangement were the main factors affecting the CME participation of pediatricians. Conclusion:Pediatricians with different professional title had different training needs for CME contents. Lack of CME resources, contradiction between work and study, and curriculum arrangement deficiencies might be the main influencing factors affecting the CME participation of pediatricians working at county-level medical institutions.

·AIM:To investigate the effect of β1-integrin overexpression on the adhesion and migration of rabbit corneal epithelial (RCE) cells.·METHODS:Eukaryotic expression vector encoding β1-integrin-GFP fusion DNA was transfected into RCE cells,and the β1-integrin-GFP fusion gene was examined by RT-PCR and Western blot.The adhesion to Matrigel and the migration of the transfected cells were determined by adhesion and mobility assays.The phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) was examined by Western blot.·RESULTS:The overexpression of β1-integrin-GFP fusion gene by RCE cells was successfully established.β1-integrin transfection significantly promoted the adhesion of RCE cells to Matrigel ( P < 0.05 ).β1-integrin overexpression also promoted the migration ability of RCE cells and induced FAK phosphorylation in them (P < 0.05).·CONCLUSION:These data suggest that overexpression of β1-integrin promotes the adhesion and migration of RCE cells and that the FAK pathway may play an important role in this process.

Objective To explore the causes of congenital hypothyroidism by single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) thyroid imaging.Methods Nineteen cases with congenital hypothyroidism were collected,and SPECT thyroid imaging was performed 15 minutes late after injected 99m TcO_ 4- 18.5-37.0 MBq.Results Five cases were found with normal glands,1 case with enlarged thyroid, 2 cases with enlarged thyroid and increased radiation,4 cases with ectopic thyroid,4 with a hypogenetic thyroid,and the last 3 cases showed no thyroid imaging.Conclusions The causes of congenital hypothyroidism can be found by SPECT thyroid imaging,which is important to the diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism combined with detection of T_3,T_4,TSH.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical effects of PLIF surgery for elderly patients with lumbar degenerative disease.

METHODSFrom March 2010 to May 2013, 28 patients with lumbar degenerative disease, aged more than 80 years were treated with PLIF surgery. There were 10 males and 18 females, aged from 80 to 93 years old with an average of (85.44±3.66) years. Course of disease was from 3 to 20 years. The operation time, intra-operative blood loss, operation complications were recorded and JOA scores and Macnab criteria were used to evaluate the clinical outcomes.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 12 to 40 months with an average of 26.5 months. The average operation time was (150.00±26.42) min and the average intra-operative blood loss was (373.33±99.88) ml. The pre-operative JOA score was 12.30±2.43, and the corresponding postoperative JOA score at the final follow-up was 24.81±2.09 which was much higher than the preoperative one (P<0.01). According to the modified Macnab criteria to evaluate at the final follow-up, 16 patients got an excellent result, 10 good, 2 fair. In the weeks postoperatively, injuries of nerve root happened in 3 cases, superficial wound infection with delayed healing in 3 cases, and tear of the dural sac accompanied with cerebrospinal fluid leakage in 1 case. After long term follow-up, adjacent segment degeneration and the corresponding spinal canal stenosis occurred in 1 case at 34 months after operation. All cases got successful fusion without any displacement of internal fixation and pseudoarthrosis formation.

CONCLUSIONWith proper cases, fully preoperative preparation, perfect intra-operative manipulation and active treatment after operation, even advanced ages older than 80 years with lumbar degenerative disease could get satisfactory outcomes after PLIF surgery.

Designing of natural product-like compounds using natural products as template structures is an important strategy for the discovery of new drugs. Gambogic acid (GA), which is a Garcinia natural product with a unique caged xanthone scaffold, inhibits potent antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo. This review summarized the researches on the identification of the antitumor pharmacophore of GA, and the design, structural optimization and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of natural product-like caged xanthones based on it.

ObjectiveTo explore the correlations of simple bladder capacity measurement and urodynamic examination used for assessing the bladder function of patients with spinal cord injury.Methods From December 2011 to September 2013,a total of 37 patients with spinal cord injury were recruited.Their bladder functions were examined by both simple bladder capacity measurement and urodynamics in the first week after admission.The type of neurogenic bladder,residue urine,bladder capacity and the changes of bladder pressure were documented and compared.Results The simple bladder capacity measurement and urodynamics showed no significant differences in the parameters including residual urine,and bladder pressures when inputting 50mL,100mL,300mL and 400mL water(P>0.05). But there were significant differences in the results of bladder capacity and bladder pressure when inputting 200mL water(P<0.05). The intra-class coefficients between the results by the two methods were 0.606~0.919(P<0.01).The Kappa coefficient of the health professionals’judgments according to the two methods was 0.825(P<0.001).Conclusions The results of simple bladder capacity measurement are reliable.It can be used as the supplement for urodynamics to monitor the bladder function of patients with spinal cord injury.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of a phosphorothioate antisense oligodeoxynucleotide "ASOND" combined with cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum (DDP), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and adriamycin (ADM) respectively on inhibiting the proliferation of HepG2 cells.

METHODSA phosphorothioate antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (5'-ACTCACTCAGG CCTCAGACT-3') targeted to human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) mRNA, which named cantide, was synthesized. ASODN was transfected into HepG2 by lipofectin. And cell growth activity was evaluated by MTT assay. SAS software and Jin Zhengjun Method were used to evaluate the interaction of ASODN and these chemotherapeutic drugs.

RESULTSCombination treatments with 0.1micromol/L ASODN reduced the IC50 of DDP, 5-FU and ADM from 1.07, 4.15 and 0.29microg/ml to 0.25, 1.52 and 0.12microg/ml respectively. The inhibitory ability of combination treatments on HepG2 cells was higher than that of these drugs alone (F=66.92, 25.96, 8.56, P<0.001). And synergism (Q>or=1.15) was observed at the lower concentration of DDP (

CONCLUSIONASODN may enhance therapeutic effectiveness of chemotherapeutic drugs in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells.
