Objective To investigate the teaching effectiveness of preventive medicine and ask the students for feedback on the curriculum in order to reform the teaching methods.Methods Questionnaire survey.Sampling survey.Results 89.2％ of students have realized the importance of preventive medicine.Respectively 16.4％ and 7.5％ of students have no interesting on the curriculum due to teachers'matter and students' idea that the course is uselessness for their major and future career.75.1％ of students are interest in Nutrition and Food Hygiene,35.2％ of students dislike Medical Statistics,and 45.3％ of students think the most tough part is Medical Statistics.78.9％ of students wish to have more practice lessons.30.5％ of students do not ask teachers questions because of no communication with teachers after class.Conclusions Preventive Medicine is still ignored by a few students.The more tough the content is,the less interest the students have. Repeatedly emphasizing the importance of Preventive Medicine in medical education,adopting and combining with the community practical cases in class lectures and frequently communicating between teachers and students after class are suggested.

We observed in a pilot study that there was a transient elevation of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level shortly after the transplantation in the patient with ischemic heart failure, which is unexplainable by the simultaneous increase of the cardiac output and six-minute walk distance. Similar findings were observed in the phase I trial. We postulated on the basis of the finding of Fukuda in vitro that this transient elevation of BNP level against the improvement of cardiac function and exercise capacity might indicate cardiomyogenesis in patients after mesenchymal stem cell transplantation. Further study is warranted to verify the hypothesis.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of cluster needling at the anterior oblique line of vertex-temporal plus speech training in treating motor aphasia after cerebral infarction.Method Forty patients with motor aphasia after cerebral infarction were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 20 in each group. Both groups were given basic neurological treatment. In addition, the treatment group was intervened by cluster needling at the anterior oblique line of vertex-temporal plus speech training, while the control group was by speech training alone. After 4-week treatments, the speech function and communication ability were observed and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The total effective rate was 90.0% in the treatment group versus 80.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the speech function score and Chinese Functional Communication Profile (CFCP) score were changed significantly in both groups (P<0.01). There were significant differences in comparing the speech function and CFCP scores between the two groups (P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion Cluster needling at the anterior oblique line of vertex-temporal plus speech training is an effective approach in treating motor aphasia after cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect and safety of the intratracheal instillation of sodium nitroprusside for treating persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn (PPHN) .Methods The intratracheal instillation of sodium nitroprusside was used to 19 cases of PPHN under the mechanical ventilation ,and the pulmonary arterial mean pressure(PAMP) ,arterial mean pressure(AMP) ,transcutaneous oxygen saturation(TcSaO2 ) of the right upper and left lower limb at the basic state ,30 ,60 ,120min after intratracheal instillation of sodium nitroprusside were respectively measured and compared .Results Among 19 cases of PPHN ,17 cases had the primary lung disease .Of 17 cases ,14 cases(82 .35% ) had significant decrease of PAMP after intratracheal instillation of sodium nitroprusside ,which was most significant at 30min after therapy and the difference was statistically significant compared with before therapy [(21 .30 ± 4 .200)mm Hg vs .(30 .30 ± 4 .20)mm Hg ,P<0 .05] ,but AMP between before and after therapy had no statistical difference [(56 .00 ± 3 .00)mm Hg vs .(55 .00 ± 6 .00)mm Hg ,P>0 .05] .Conclusion The intratracheal instillation of sodium nitroprusside is the safe ,effective and economic method for treating PPHN .

Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of glutamate signaling pathway on filopodia formation in epidermal cells and on melanosome transfer.Methods Epidermal melanocytes and keratinocytes were isolated from human foreskin and subjected to subculture.After two to three passages of subculture,the melanocytes and keratinocytes were cultured alone or in combination with or without the presence of MK801 (an antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor) of 100 μmol/L,or NMDA (the activator of NMDA receptor) of 100 μmol/L,for 24 hours.The melanocytes irradiated with UVB at 311 nm served as the control.Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the appearance of filopodia and dendrites of melanocytes and keratinocytes.Melanosome transfer was visualized under confocal laser scanning microscopy after double immunofluorescent staining.Results Although no obvious changes were observed in the number of dendrites in monocultured melanocytes after treatment with MK801 or NMDA for 24 hours,dendrites became thinner at the terminus and longer with a decrease in the number and length of filopodia after MK801 treatment,but thicker and shorter with an increase in the number and length of filopodia after NMDA treatment compared with untreated monocultured melanocytes.In the coculture system,filopodia were observed between the untreated melanocytes and keratinocytes,and the number of filopodia in melanocytes was larger in the side adjacent to keratinocytes than in the opposite side.Compared with the untreated coculture system,the number of both filopodia connecting melanocytes and keratinocytes and filopodia extending from melanocytes to keratinocytes decreased in the coculture system after treatment with MK801 of 100 μmol/L,but increased after treatment with NMDA of 100 μmol/L,for 24 hours.Melanosomes were found in keratinocytes cocultured with melanocytes without treatment,which were decreased in number after 24-hour treatment with MK801 of 100 μmol/L,but increased in number and even present in keratinocytes nonadiacent to melanocytes after 24-hour treatment with NMDA of 100 μmol/L.Conclusion Glutamate signaling pathway may modulate the transfer of melanosomes from melanocytes to keratinocytes via modulating the appearance of melanocyte dendrites and formation of filopodia.

Objective To construct the human Alzheimer's disease (AD) specific single chain anti‐bodies (scFv) library for sceening human AD scFv to Aβ1‐42 oligomers .Methods RNA was isola‐ted from 40 ml peripheral blood taken from 18 AD patients .Variable heavy (V H ) and variable light (VL ) genes were amplified by RT‐PCR and linked to the scFv fragments that were then cloned into the phage vector pCANTAB5E .The scFv library was constructed by electroporating E .coli TG1 cells into the pCANTAB5E and rescuing the assistant phage M13K07 .Results The total RNA was extracted .The VH and VL genes were amplified .Electropharesis showed that the length of VH and VL genes was 360bp and 300bp respectively and the length of linked scFv was 750bp .The 2 .4 × 109 scFv library was thus constructed and identified by BstN I digestion .Elec‐tropharesis showed that the length of BstN I‐digested scFv fragments varied ,indicating that the library is of a good diversity .Conclusion The human AD phage scFv library we constructed lays a foundation for screening the antibodies to Aβ1‐42 oligomers and the treatment of AD .
