Objective To understand the ‘ problem behavior' and influencing factors during job haunting of medical students and to provide guidance for students.Methods Totally 409 medical students who had graduated or were going to graduate but all having the experiences of applying for jobs were surveyed with self-made questionnaire.Likert 5 points scoring method was employed to evaluate the job hunting and SPSS 17.0 seftware was used to do statistical analysis.Results The ‘ problem behaviors' with the highest scores were conformism and comparison [(3.93 ± 0.628) and (3.80 ± 0.847) respectively)].Self factors influencing students' behavior in career choice included the capacity for self-definition (3.62 ± 0.855),personal values (3.55 ± 0.893) and legal awareness (3.51 ± 1.039).Meanwhile,the factor with the highest score was education cost (3.93 ± 0.887).Besides,influences of family expectation (3.43 ± 0.945),employment environment (3.40 ± 0.940) and college educational system (3.28 ± 1.038) were also outstanding.Conclusions Medical students'‘ problem behaviors' during job hunting are diverse and are influenced by many factors.So,we are supposed to strengthen the education and guidance from the self factors,combining the actions of school,family and society to promote medical students' employment.

Anultra-performancehydrophilicinteractionliquidchromatography-triplequadrupolemass spectrometric ( UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for the determination of tetrodotoxin ( TTX) in human urine and plasma. After the sample was cleaned-up and concentrated by immunoaffinity column, the separation of the TTX was carried out on an Acquity UPLC BEH amide column (100 mm×2. 1 mm, 1. 7 μm) with gradient elution using mobile phases of 0. 1% ( V/V) formic acid in water and acetonitrile. The analyte was detected by positive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in the multiple reaction monitoring ( MRM) mode, and quantified by external solvent standard calibration. The measuring ranges of TTX in urine and plasma were 0. 05-400 μg/L. The average recoveries were 92%-95% and 91%-96% for TTX respectively spiked in urine and plasma with relative standard deviations of 3 . 3%-7 . 2% and 3 . 9%-7 . 8% ( n=5 ) . The limits of detection (LOD, S/N=3) and limits of quantitation (LOQ, S/N=10) of TTX were 0. 02 μg/L and 0. 05μg/L for urine and plasma, respectively. This method is suitable for the detection of TTX in urine and plasma for both forensic and clinical purposes.

Objective To analyze the imaging manifestations of chondromyxoid fibroma,so as to improve diagnostic accuracy.Methods The X-ray,CT and MRI manifestations of 8 cases with chondromyxoid fibroma confirmed by surgical pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results All of 8 cases were in the long tubular bones.X-ray showed oval,well defined,eccentric,radiolucent lesion with surrounding sclerosis.The thick dense bony or coarse reticular septation were seen in 6 cases.CT scan showed osteolytic,surrounding sclerosis,and 1 case with foci of calcification.MRI images showed a low or medium signal on T1WI,high signal on T2WI,1 case with a equal T1WI and slight high T2WI signal intensity peripheral rim around.Two cases with diffused enhancement on T1WI after intravenous injection of gapentetate acid meglumine injection and a peripheral liner enhancement in 1 case.Conclusion Chondromyxoid fibroma has certain imaging characteristics,but should be combined with X-ray,CT and MRI to differentiate from other bone tumors with similar imaging manifestations.

AIM: To observe the expression of TGF ?1 in hepatocytes during acute hemorrhagic and necrotic pancreatitis (AHNP) and to study the relationship between TGF ?1 and apoptosis in hepatocytes. METHODS: AHNP was induced in 40 rats weighting 260-280 g by intraductal administration of 5% sodium taurocholate. The pathologic morphologic changes of liver and pancreas were observed under light microscope. The hepatocyte apoptosis was examined through TdT (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase) mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and the expression of TGF ?1 in hepatocytes was analyzed through immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The liver injuries were found at 3 h after the inducement. These changes were aggravated with the development of the disease. The apoptotic hepatocytes were found after 3 h (P

Background and purpose: Metastatic carcinoma and lymphoma are usually the causes of cervical malignant lymph nodes. This paper was aimed to investigate the different appearances of cervical malignant lymph nodes by 2 dimension and color doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and discuss the role of ultrasenography in diagnosing cervical malignant lymph nodes. Methods: Ninety-nine patients and 40 healthy people were selected as our subjects, among which 54 cases were diagnased as metastatic tumor and 45 cases as lymphoma according to pathology examination. With high frequency transducers, ultrasonography was used to document the shape of cervical lymph nodes, the ratio of long/short axis (L/S), types of echo and hilus of lymph node. CDFI features were also recorded and measured in order to analyze the parameters. Results: Compared with image of normal lymph nodes, the image of cervical malignant lymph nodes showed that the shape tended to be round and the ratio of L/S decreased. In addition, the majority of echo types of malignant lymph nodes was a low level echo and easily became fused. Meanwhile, the image of hilus of lymph node tended to disappear or shift. The lymph node of cases with metastatic tumor was shown to be either calcified or liquefied. The rate of blood flow in the artery was observed to be of high velocity and high resistive index (RI). Between metastatic tumor and lymphoma tumor case, there was significant difference in terms of ultrasonographic and CDFI features. All the above results showed that the features of malignant lymph nodes were significantly different from the normal ones. Conclusion: Ultrasonography could be regarded as one method of evaluating cervical malignant lymph nodes.

Objective To evaluate the effect of edaravone on myocardial injury in patients undergoing offpump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG).Methods Forty ASA physical status Ⅲ-Ⅳ patients,aged 45-64 yr,weighing 55-95 kg,with NYHA class Ⅱ-Ⅲ,scheduled for elective OPCABG,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =20):edaravone group (group E) and control group (group C).After induction of anesthesia,edaravone 60 mg (in 100 ml of normal saline) was infused over 30 min in group E,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead of edaravone in group C.Venous blood samples were taken before operation (T1),after skin incision (T2),at the end of operation (T3),and at 24 h after operation (T4) to measure the serum levels of myocardial enzymes and cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI).The time for ventilator treatment,duration of stay in the intensive care unit and duration of stay in hospital were recorded.Results Compared with group C,the activities of serum creatine kinase,creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB,aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase and cTnI concentrations were significantly increased at T3 and T4 (P < 0.05) and no significant changes were found at T1 in group E (P > 0.05).The parameters mentioned above were significantly higher at T3 and T4 than at T1 in the two groups (P < 0.05).The time for ventilator treatment,duration of stay in the intensive care unit and duration of stay in hospital were significantly shortened in group E as compared with group C (P < 0.05 or 0.01).Conclusion Edaravone 60 mg infused before OPCABG can provide effective myocardial protection in patients.
