ObjectiveTo investigate the quality of life (QOL) of old patients with cardiovascular diseases in community. Methods100 old patients with cardiovascular diseases in Xiluoyuan, Beijing were investigated with WHOQOL-BREF. ResultsThe QOL-BREF scores in the dimensions of physical health, psychology, social relationships, and environment were (53.21±11.50), (53.27±15.99), (54.29±14.41) and (57.65±15.30) respectively. There was not significant difference between self-rating scores and scores in four dimensions of QOL-BREF (P>0.05). There was not significant difference of QOL-BREF scores in four dimensions between male and female, nor the ones whether complicated with diabetes (P>0.05). The incidence of satisfaction was 31% for QOL, 23% for health, and 62% for the healthy system as self-report. ConclusionThe QOL of the patients is related to diseases.

The course of medical function design experiment can improve students’inter-ests,strengthen their practice ability and the ability to apply the knowledge synthetically,and de-velop their creativity consciousness and research ability. This article explores the teaching method of design experiment and its function in teaching.

Medcial experiment teaching is an important part in medical education. It has an important effect on developing college students' thinking method in science,creating ability and strict style of work. In this article,we discuss achievements on the reform,the present situation and some problems exsiting in Zunyi Medcial College,expecting for further reform。

[Objective] To analyse medication rule for depression,and explore the mechanism and treatment features.[Method] On the basis of dealing 235 formulae with net technical,make analysis on drugs type,use frequency,nature and compatibility.[Result] The drugs can be divided into disease(1)and sign(2)differentiation medications,most drugs of 2 are Qi--and Yang-notifying;the natures are mainly sweet,bitter and warm,belonging to 5 organs.Notifying Qi and Yang,soothing the nerves are the main therapy for depression.[Conclusion] Depression belongs to deficient cold disease,deficient Yang Qi;not being able to rise is the mechanism;notifying Qi and warming Yang is the key basis for it.

Objective To explore the effect of community comprehensive rehabilitation on quality of life in patients with stroke sequelae under the family medical service mode. Methods From October, 2013 to October, 2014, 51 patients with stroke sequelae received compre-hensive rehabilitation intervention for three months, including rehabilitation training, rehabilitation guidance, health education and psycho-logical counseling. They were assessed with modified Barthel index (MBI), WHO-Disability Assessment Schedule (WHO-DASⅡ), Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36), Brain Injury Community Rehabilitation Outcome Scales (BICRO-39), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) before and after intervention. Results The scores of physical functionning, role physical, general health, mental health, social functioning and the total score in SF-36 increased after intervention (t>2.072, P<0.05). The scores of so-cial contact, locomotivity, self handling transaction ability and the total score in BICRO-39 decreased after intervention (t>2.434, P<0.05), as well as the scores of getting along with people, housework and society and participation in WHO-DAS II (t>2.507, P<0.05). Conclusion In the community health service, comprehensive rehabilitation guided by multidisciplinary rehabilitation team can facilitate to improve the quality of life in patients with stroke sequela.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure of Chinese culture, absorbing the wisdom of the Chinese people. Continuous application of new technologies makes traditional Chinese medicine research advance with the times. After several years of development, high-throughput transcriptome study has become a mature research tool in biology. This paper reviewed the advances in medicine transcriptome study, and compared two sequencing platforms, Roche's GS FLX platform and Illumina's HiSeq 2000 platform. Moreover, this paper introduced medicine transcriptome analysis process, with Panax quinquefolius and Lonicera japonica for examples, showing the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine transcriptome studies. High-throughput transcriptome studies facilitate traditional Chinese medicine research with overall understand of functional genes, give clear elucidation of metabolic pathways, lay molecular foundation for the traditional Chinese medicine research and offer modern interpretation for traditional Chinese medicine theory. However, the current study faces several difficulties, including weak molecular basis, high sequencing cost and staff shortages in data anaysis. In the future, with the development in sequencing technology, the combination of transcriptome and other genomics, such as proteome and metabolome, will lay a solid foundation for the new high-throughput screening and developing model for the traditional Chinese medicine industry.

Basic life support ( BLS ) is a very important clinical skill for medical students. However,current BLS education is lack of proper BLS skills evaluation protocol to give educational feedback both to instructors and students. This article is aimed to discuss the necessity of protocol of skills evaluation in basic life support education for medical students prior to their internship.

Objective To elucidate the interaction between osteoblast of bone marrow microenvironment and leukemia cells,and to investigate the role of osteoblast in the leukemia cells survival and apoptosis and the influence of leukemia cells on the osteoblast.Methods Leukemia cells from AML1-ETO9a-Rac1 mouse leukemia model and osteoblast cells were used.The ratio of GFP+ leukemia cells that co-cultured with or without osteoblast was detected by FACS.In addition,the apoptosis level of leukemia cells was detected by flow cytometry by PI and Annexin Ⅴ labeling.Activation level of PARP was determined by Western-blot.Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) was utilized to detect the mRNA level of TPO,N-cadherin,OPN and Ang1 in osteoblast which was separated from leukemic mice.Results The ratio of GFP+ cells in AE9a-Rac1 leukemia cells co-cultured with osteoblast cell was significantly higher than that of AE9a-Rac1 leukemia cells cultured alone.The apoptotic level of AE9a-Rac 1 leukemia cells cultured alone was significant higher than that of AE9a-Rac 1 leukemia cells in co-culture system.Western blot showed that activated level of PARP in AE9a-Rac1 leukemia cells co-cultured with osteoblast was lower than that cultured alone.RT-PCR result showed that TPO and N-cadherin mRNA levels in primary osteoblast separated from leukemic mice were higher than that from normal mice.Ang1 and OPN mRNA levels of osteoblast from leukemia mice were lower.Conclusion Osteoblast cell can support the survival and inhibit the apoptosis of leukemia cells.Leukemia cells can influence the functions of osteoblast by microenvironment associated cytokines production.

Community health service centers provide basic medical and public health service for the residents in community with the contract service mode.In the last five years our center started the construction of primary care team.The family physicians,nurses and public health workers formed the basis of health care team,and pharmacists and nutritionists actively joined the team work.The pharmacists provided health education of rational medication,participated in the ward-rounds of home beds and comprehensive management of chronic disease patients,and also conducted counseling clinic of drug use.The clinical nutritionists provided special nutrition guidance for patients,delivered nutrition education and conducted nutrition clinic.The involvement of pharmacists and nutritionist in contract service has greatly ungraded the primary care team,improved the quality of comprehensive care and provided better service for the people in the community.
