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.

Primary Hepatic Carcinoma(PHC)is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world.Nowadays,its incidence and mortality have been still increasing.With regard to the early treatment for PHC,the combined therapy,primarily referred to operation,is considered optimal.For recent decades,with the quick development of ultrasonic therapeutics,High Intensity Focused Ultrasound(HIFU)techniques,which rose newly,has already become a kind of effective and noninvasive substitution therapy for PHC operation therapy as a kind of noninvasive tumor therapy.Now,this literature review aims to summarize the found re- search and clinical research of HIFU therapy for primary hepatic carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the effects of anti-parkinsonian drugs on cytokines(IL-6 and TNF-?) produced by PBMC in PD patients. Methods 25 subjects were divided into 3 groups : normal controls(NC),pergolide and Madopar treated PD patients(P+M group),Madopar treated PD patients(M group). PBMC were cultured in the presence of pure RPMI-1640,RPMI-1640 with ConA and RPMI-1640 with pergolide,respectively. The amount of IL-6 and TNF-? in the culture media was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results IL-6 production amount by PBMC when stimulated with ConA was significantly lower in group P+M and M than in group NC( P 0.05). In group P+M,the concentration of TNF-? was significantly higher in the presence of ConA than in the presence of pure RPMI-1640 and in the presence of pergolide( P 0.05). Conclusions The ability of amount by PBMC of PD elderly patients to excrete IL-6 was significantly decreased in the presence of ConA. Pergolide might arise the excretion of IL-6 by PBMC during the treatment process of PD and at the same time does not arise the excretion of TNF-?,which might be neurotoxic.

Objective To investigate the infection of chlamydiae trachomahs(CT) and myoplasmas in urogenital tract and antibiotic susceptibility of cultured genital myoplasmas.Methods 5095 patients with urogenital tract infection were detected with mycoplasma identification susceptibility testing reagent kit,and the drug susceptibility to eight antibiotics of ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu) and mycoplasm hominid (Mh) were tested by broth microdilution method.And chlamydiae trachomatis was examined by golden standard method.Results In 5095 cases, 417cases(8 2%) were infected with chlamydiae trachomatis, and the infective rate in woman(11 2%) was statistically higher than that in man(6 2%). 1728 cases(33 9%) were infected with mycoplasma, and the infective rate in woman(43 0%) was statistically higher than that in man(28 0%).The cases infected with simple UU(1251,24 6%) were more than that in the cases infected with simple Mh(71,1 4%) and the mixed infected cases(406,8 0%). Drug sensitivity to erythromycin, roxithromycin, josamycin, azithromycin, doxycycline, minocin,ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin in Uu infection were 60 3%,67 5%,73 2%,85 3%,55 7%,40 1%,25 6%,2 7%,respectively;while the mixed infection of Mh and Uu had resistance to the eight antibiotics on the different degree.Conclusions The infective rate of chlamydiae trachomatis and myoplasma in urogential tract and the resistance rates to 8 antibiotics in Hunan province were in a higher level, compared with other area inland. It is necessary to develop antibiotic susceptibility test,in addition to the myoplasma culture for guiding the clinical therapy.
6.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 evaluate the changes and clinical significance of CD+4CDHi25CDLo127 regulatory T cell(Treg) in peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer. Methods 30 patients with lung cancer and 20 heathy volunteers were included in this study. The proportion of Treg population in CD4+ T cells stained with three colors was analysed by flow cytometry. The serum level of IL-10 and TGF-β were measured by ELISA. Results The proportion of Treg in patients with squamous cell careinoma(n=20), adenocarcinoma (n=10) were all significantly higher than that of healthy controls (P <0.05), but there was not obvious difference between the two groups with different pathological types(P0.05). Increased serum level of IL-10 and TGF-β was also detected in lung cancer patients. Conclusion The proportion of Treg is increased in lung cancer patients, which may result in the inhibition of host anti-cancer immune response by excreting IL-10 and TGF-β.

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.
