Incidence of acute kidney injury ( AKI ) is increasing rapidly to epidemic proportions . Development of AKI is associated with increased morbidity , mortality and hospitalization costs .Currently available diagnostic tools are mostly insensitive for early diagnosis of AKI .Finding an early, reliable, easily reproducible , economical and accurate biomarker for AKI is a top research priority .In recent years , many serum and urinary proteins have been investigated as possible early markers of AKI .

Objective To observe the efficacy of Zishen Anshen Decoction combined with Compound Zaoren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen) Capsule on insomnia patients with disharmony between heart-yang and kidney-yin syndrome and its effect on sleep quality index. Methods Seventy insomnia patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group. Both groups conventionally took estazolam as needed, the treatment group was additionally given Zishen Anshen Decoction (in the afternoon and after dinner) and Compound Zaoren Capsule (before sleep at night) for 14 d. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score and dosage of estazolam were used as evaluation indexes for the comparison between the two groups. Results PSQI score of daytime function disorder and hypnotics dosage of the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the dosages of estazolam were reduced (P<0.05). Conclusion The alternative application of Zishen Anshen Decoction and Compound Zaoren Capsule on insomnia treatment can not only improve daytime function, but also reduce the dosage of benzodiazepine, with better effect than estazolam.

There were 12 patients who were all type C1 or C3 epipod comminuted fracture.By means of the internal fixation,all patients were transplanted with the nanometer artificial bones,comprising hydroxyapatite and ?-tricalcium phosphate.The 12 patients used the bacteriophages preoperation,during operation and 3 days postoperation.They were free from pressure dressing and started to take exercises 48 hours postoperatively.Followed up for 6-12 months,all of the 12 patients healed well.So nanometer artificial bone is an effective method for the epipodite comminuted fracture,without any severe toxicity or complications.

Objective To analyze the effectiveness of doctor-patient communication course on improvement of doctor-patient communication ability.Methods Totally 360 eight-year program medical students of clinical medicine from Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine were chosen as the research object and were divided into educational group(n＝l80) and control group(n＝180).Students in educational group study doctor-patient communication course while those in control group do not.SEGUE Framework was used to conduct exploratory research between educational group and control group.Accuracy of questionnaire database was examined by Excel software and logical test.KoImogorov-Smimov(K-S test) was applied to analyze the scores and (x ± s) was used to express the data through SPSS 16.0 statistical software.Comparison between group differences are statistically significant(P＜0.05).Results Overall score was higher in educational group than in control group.Concerning of communication initiation,infomation collection and understanding of patients,scores of educational group were significantly higher than those of control group(P=0.001,P=0.002 and P=0.007,respec-tively).Furthermnore,KoInogorov-Smimov(K-S test) and (x ± s) statistical results showed that scores of detailed items were higher in educational group than in control group as well.Conclusions Doctor-patient communication course is of great importance to help medical students practice physician-patient communication based on related knowledge learning,but course content setting remains to be further improved.

Objective To establish a nude mice model for NB4/ShHMGA2 xenograft and explore the effect of HMGA2 knockdown on hematological malignancies. Methods NB4/ShHMGA2 or NB4/ShControl cell lines were established by transfecting the recombinant Lentivirus-HMGA2shRNA and the vacant Lentivirus-NC-marked into NB4 cells. The knockdown of HMGA2 was identified by RT-PCR and Western blot. Ten male BALB/c nude mice aged 4 ~ 5 weeks were equally divided into two groups. The mice irradiated by 4 Gy 60 Co were subcutaneously injected with 8 × 106 NB4/ShHMGA2 or NB4/ShControl cells into one side of axilla. The volumes of xenograft tumor were evaluated using the equation volume (mm3) = (L × W2)/2. The xenograft tumor section was detected by IHC with Ki-67 antibody. Results NB4 cell xenograft tumors developed in all mice of both the two groups. The NB4/ShHMGA2 cells in the nude mice grew at a lower rate than those in the controls. There were statistically significant differences in the volume and weight of xenograft tumor between the two groups [(1 484.25 ± 156.342)mm3 vs (3 228.674 ± 285.64)mm3, P < 0.05] and [(2 135.33 ± 198.05) mg vs (650.46 ± 85.12)mg, P < 0.05]. The Ki-67 protein level in NB4/ShHMGA2 cells xenografts was lower than that in the controls. Conclusion The knockdown of HMGA2 could inhibit proliferation of NB4 cells in NB4 cells xenograft tumor.

The structure of the hyperbaric oxygen chamber was introduced, and the application of automatic control system to the chamber was discussed from the aspects of the function and information system. The automatic control system can be used for monitoring and control of equipment condition, operation flow and performance data during hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which enhances the efficiency and safety of hyperbaric oxygen chamber.

Medical laboratories provide test data and consultation services and are engaged in ensuring test results being timely,accurate and reliable,which are satisfactory for their service recipients.A summary of the customer satisfaction theory and quality management system,and an analysis of problems found in the quality management of such laboratories,attempt to pinpoint underlying causes of service quality setbacks.Based on such studies,the quality management system is built in accordance with customer satisfaction theory and CNAS-CL02 Accreditation Criteria for the Quality and Competence of Medical Laboratories (ISO 15189:2007).Such efforts aim to continuously improve service quality and ensure customer satisfaction.
