1.Characteristics and enlightenment of medical curriculum design in England
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2014;(8):778-781
The medical curriculum which is designed reasonable, plays a decisive role in the training specifications and quality of medical talents. The medical education in England is always in the world first column, and its medical curriculum is distinctive. The courses are mostly offered by the form of integration. They pay more attention to the setup of selective courses, humanities and social sciences courses, and they also put emphasis on the early clinical contact and early scientific research training. In addition, they are also outstanding in practice and internship. There is much beneficial enlightenment for our country's course reform from the British medical curriculum design, namely to establish integration courses which is interdisciplinary, to strengthen the humanistic quality's cultiva-tion, to advocate early clinical contact and early scientific research, and to strengthen cooperation and coordination between medical colleges and social organizations in all aspects.

Objective To explore the expression of b-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (bcl-2) and breast cancer drug-resistant protein (BCRP) in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and their correlation. Methods Using flow cytometry (FCM) and semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay the expressions of BCRP gene was analysed in 40 DLBCL samples. bcl-2 protein were measured by immunohistochemistry on paraffin-embedded slices in 40 cases of DLBCL. Results The positive expression rate of bcl-2 and BCRP protein were 60.0 % (24/40) and 37.5 % (15/40) in 40 patients with DLBCL respectively. There was significant differences between positive group and negative groups (x2 = 5.7618,P <0.05; x2 = 6.5541,P <0.05). There was no significant correlation between Bcl-2 and BCRP gene in effective treatment group and therapies group or progress group (x2 = 2.0263,P >0.05). Conclusion BCRP may play an important role in DLBCL primary much medicine drug-resistant,thus it may be a useful prediction of chemotherapeutic treatment and risk of relapse. The level bcl-2 expression was closely related with the grade of malignancy and the prognosis of DLBCL. There was no significant correlation between bcl-2 and BCRP gene. The detection of bcl-2 and BCRP gene played an important role in evaluating DLBCL outcome.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficiency of 0.1% tacrolimus ointment combined with paroxetine in patients with neurodermatitis associated with insomnia.MethodsTotally,74 patients suffering from neurodermatitis and insomnia were consecutively enrolled in this study,and randomly assigned into the combination group and control group according to their number(odd or even).Both groups were given topical 0.1% tacrolimus ointment twice a day,and the combination group was additionally given oral paroxetine 10 mg once a day,for 8 weeks.The outcome parameters included main symptoms of neurodermatitis and Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI) score.ResultsNo significant difference was observed in the cure rate (54.3%(19/35) vs.53.1% (17/32),P> 0.05) or response rate (82.9% (29/35) vs.81.3% (26/32),P> 0.05),between the combination group and control group.PSQI score was significantly lower in the combination group than in the control group after 8 weeks of treatment(P < 0.05).ConclusionsThe 0.1% tacrolimus ointment can be used to treat neurodermatitis safely.Antianxiety treatment can reduce the recurrence of neurodermatitis associated with insomnia,and improve the quality of sleep in patients.
9.Significance of Changes of Endogenous Hydrogen Sulfide in Rats with Doxorubicin-Induced Heart Failure

Objective To investigate the changes in hydrogen sulfide(H_2S) level in plasma and myocardial tissues of doxorubicin-induced heart failure rats,and to study the role of H_2S in the development of doxorubicin-induced heart failure.Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups as follows:the doxorubicin group(n=12),in which 2.5 mg/kg of doxorubicin was injected intraperitoneal once a week for 10 weeks(total dose of 25 mg/kg);the control group(n=9),in which an(equivalent) volume of physiological saline was administered weekly for a total of 10 weeks.The observation of behavior was taken at the same time.Hemodynamic and echocardiographic measurements were obtained 10 weeks after treatment.Meanwhile,H_2S concentrations in serum and myocardial tissues were evaluated by modified sulfide electrode method.The changes of H_2S level between 2 groups were analyzed.Results The rats treated with doxorubicin showed inanimate behavior,decrease of the body temperature,activities and food intake,faster breathing,significant loss of weight,the cumulative mortality was 33%.Left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP),difference of left ventricular pressure[△LVP=LVSP-left ventricular diastolic pressure(LVDP)] and left ventricular peak rate of contraction(+LV dp/dtmax),left ventricular peak rate of relaxation(-LV dp/dtmax)were significantly reduced in the group of doxorubicin rats(P

Objective To investigate the dangers of heart failure to the mother and fetal,and the diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy complicated with heart failure. Methods The clinical data of the causes,timing,management and outcomes of 87 cases of pregnant women complicated with heart failure from March 1993 to January 2006 were analyzed retrospectively. Results ①Thirty-one cases(35.6%) of heart failure in pregnancy were caused by rheumatic heart disease,26(29.9%) by pregnancy-induced hypertension(PIH),16(18.4%) by congenital heart disease,and 14(16.1%) by peripartum cardiomyopathy.②The heart failure appeared at the average of(32.69?5.57) weeks.③The average terminal time of pregnancy was(34.66?4.52) weeks.④There were 79 newborns with 6 cases of twins,and the perinatal mortality was 8.6%(8 cases).Hysterotomy was performed in 6 cases in mid-pregnancy.The average weight of babies was(2419.56?786.08) g.⑤The maternal mortality was 6.9%(6 cases).(Conclusion The main) causes of heart failure in pregnancy are rheumatic heart disease,PIH and congenital heart disease.Although the standard management of pregnancy complicated with heart failure is inotropic agents,diurectics and vasodilators,the treatment should be individualized according to the specific etiology and with the consideration of the safety of fetus as well.Pinpointing the causes of heart failure in pregnant patients and treating accordingly may be conducive to reduce the maternal and perinatal mortality.
