1.Problems and countermeasures of prescription teaching
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2016;15(5):481-483
Prescription teaching is a routine task in medical colleges.However it is not a separate course,which can be undertaken by different teaching units or courses,and is not mentioned in training program.So,there are many problems in teaching practice,such as indefiniteness in responsibility,simplification of teaching settings,maladjustment to teaching and training objective and so on.Thus administrative department and major leaders should deepen the understanding of prescription teaching,take full account of its position in planning the training program,and make it more scientific to meet the needs of professional training.
2.Effects of DS201 on Proliferation of Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cell Induced by Hypoxia
Acta Medicinae Universitatis Scientiae et Technologiae Huazhong 2001;30(2):106-108
Immunocytochemistry, flowcytometry and nucleic acid in situ hybridization were used to observe the effect of sodium tanshinon Ⅱ-A silate (DS201) on proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) induced by hypoxic endothelial cell condition medium (HECCM). The results showed that DS201 could obviously hinder PASMC to enter S phase from G0/G1 phase (P<0.05), and decrease the expression of PCNA and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-A and B chain mRNA in PASMC respectively, (P<0.01). It was suggested that DS201 could probably inhibit the prolifertion of PASMC mediated by HECCM, through down-regulating the expression of PDGF-A and B chain gene.
3.Latest advances of glucagon-like peptide-1 on polycystic ovary syndrome
Journal of Chinese Physician 2016;18(12):1908-1910
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine metabolic disorder of reproductive age women,often accompanied by obesity,hyperandrogenism,hyperinsulinemia,insulin resistance (IR),and other metabolic syndrome (MS).Oxidative stress (OS) is considered as a potential inducing factor in the pathogenesis of PCOS at present.Glucagon-like peptide-1 (glp-1) receptor agonist and analogues as new therapeutic agents in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM),can lose weight,improve IR,resist OS and reduce the expression of inflammatory cytokines,thus they have been widely used in the clinical application of patients with PCOS.The author reviews the latest advances of glucagon-like peptide-1 on polycystic ovary syndrome.

BACKGROUND: Arterial injury surrounding the mandibular angle is very common during mandibular angle ostectomy. The retromandibular vein is susceptible to injury owing to thin vascular wall and deep location. Anatomical studies regarding the retromandibular vein are rarely reported.OBJECTIVE: To observe the construction, branches, backstreaming of the retromandibular vein and its relation to the facial nerve and mandibular angle.METHODS: Twenty formalin-fixed adult cadavers (40 samples) were randomly selected. Bilateral retromandibular veins and their branches were cleaned. The construction, branches, backstreaming of the retromandibular vein and its relation to the facial nerve and mandibular angle were anatomically observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The retromandibular vein originated constantly and provided an average length of (4.51±2.01) cm, with an average outer diameter of (0.52±0.28) cm at the origination part. A total of 34 samples showed that the retromandibular vein was formed by the union of the superficial temporal and maxillary veins, and six samples showed that the retromandibular vein originated from the superficial temporal vein. The retromandibular vein divided into two types according to the backstreaming and course: one type consisted of the anterior and posterior branches: the anterior branch mostly drained into the internal jugular vein and minorly drained into the external jugular vein; the posterior branch was joined by the posterior auricular vein and became the external jugular vein. Another type of retromandibular vein without the anterior and posterior branches directly connected with the posterior auricular vein and entered the external jugular vein. The retromandibular vein had the following branches (appearance frequency): facial transverse vein (88%), mandibular articular vein (98%), parotid veins (95%),anterior auricular veins (58%), styloid process vein (43%). 88% of the retromandibular vein was located in the superior and inferior trunks of the facial nerve and in the medial branches. The retromandibular vein connected with facial nerve trunk or major branches in a decussated fashion. 75% of the arc-shaped structures formed by the retromandibular vein and its branches coursed close to the inferior and posterior border of the mandibular angle, and 25% of the arc-shaped structures were not close to the lowest point of the mandibular angle. The thin periosteum between the venous wall and cortical bone was just the position of ostectomy line of mandibular angle. The retromandibular vein was easily injured no matter in vein dissection or ostectomy.

Objective To investigate the effects of HO-1 on renal allografts after HO-1 gene transfection in rat chronic allograft nephropathy model. Methods Twenty F344 and twenty-six Lewis rats were included in this experiment. They were divided into 3 groups at random. Six Lewis rats were in pseudo-operation group, 10 Lewis were in empty carrier group (transfected with adenovirus) and 10 Lewis were in the gene transfection group (transfected with Ad-HO-1 adenovirus). The expression of HO-1 protein was detected by WB at the 1st ,2nd,3rd and 4th week. The content of creatinine in blood was assayed at the 4th,8th, 12th and the 16th week. The weight of rat, the value of patholiogical changes and the expression of ?-SMA,TGF-?1 and PDGF-B were analysized at the 16th week. Results The weight of rats in 3 groups had not any changes at 16th week. The content of creatinine in blood of gene transfection group were lower than those in the empty carrier group. The expression of HO-1 protein were very high in the 1st and 2nd week and decreased at 3rd and 4th week. The Banff value of kidney in the gene transfer group was better than that of the empty carrier group at the 16th week. The level of ?-SMA, TGF-?1 and PDGF-B in the gene transfection group were significantly lower than those in the empty carrier group. Conclusions Ad-HO-1 could efficiently transfer HO-1 gene into rat donor kidney. The prevention of chronic allograft nephropathy may have relationship with the decreasing expression of ?-SMA, TGF-?and PDGF-B.
