Objective To evaluate the training quality of anaesthesiology residents in different hospitals. Methods The scores of 125 residents,attending Shanghai resident clinic skill examination from 2005 to 2007,were analyzed. ResultsThe scores of examinees from municipal hospitals were higher than those from district hospitals,municipal specialized hospitals and traditional Chinese medicine hospitals.The scores of practice part were higher than those of theory part in all groups. Conclusion The training quality is related to the comprehensive strength of the hospital in which examinees work,but the training of theory knowledge still need to be strengthened.

The research on regulation rules of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome was the core of TCM syndrome information. It was thought that the constitution identification which provided the technology for evaluating health status was one of the bases in drawing the curve of conditional standard of syndrome. It was fitted and analyzed by the curve of conditional evolution of syndrome through establishing the curve of conditional standard of TCM constitution theory. It was the key technology of realizing the dynamical evaluation of TCM clinical effect.

Proteolytic degradation has been a severe problem when Pichia pastoris is employed to express recombinant proteins.One alternative method to circumvent this problem is to construct protease gene disruptant.However,the main study of gene disruption is focused on nonrecombinant Pichia pastoris rather than recombinant strain.In our study,we established two different methods to directly disrupt PRC1 and KEX1 gene in recombinant Pichia pastoris.On the basis of this,we further discussed and compared the application and advantages of both methods.

Background Posterior capsular opacification(PCO) is common complication after extrecapsular extract of cataract.Matrix metalloproteinases-3 (MMP-3) can degrade all the extracellular matrix except polyose.The gene therapy of PCO upon MMP-3 is the researching hot topic.Fibronectin ( FN ) is a degrade gelatin,so its expression can reflect the effect of MMP-3 on LECs indirectly. Objective The aim of this study was to construct MMP-3 eukaryotic recombination plasmid and transfect to lens epithelium cells(LECs) for the observation of MMP3 expression,and to explore the feasibility of gene therapy for after cataract. Methods Six fresh lenses were obtained from pigs.LECs were cultured using explant method.The eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-N1-MMP-3 was reconstructed with MMP-3 and pEGFP-N1 plasmids.The accuracy of MMP-3 gene fragment was confirmed by double enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing analysis.After transfecting pEGFP-N1-MMP-3 into LECs of pig,the expression of MMP-3 protein in the cells was indirectly observed by green fluorescent protein.The expression of FN in LECs was detected using Western blot. Results The result of double enzyme digestion was consistent with the base number of pEGFP-N1 plasmids and target fragment.By enlacing the result of DNA sequencing analysis with software,the resemblance of the DNA sequence of MMP-3 from recombination plasmid pEGFP-N1-MMP-3 and that of homo MMP-3 was 99.6％,indicating that the target fragment was inserted to pEGFP-N1 plasmids successfully.Green fluorescence for GFP was seen in the LECs in pEGFP-N1-MMP-3 transfected group,but absent response for GFP was in empty vector group.Western blot revealed that the relative expression level of FN in LECs was 0.666±0.008 in pEGFP-N1-MMP-3 trasfected group and 0.326 ±0.071 in empty vector group,with a significant difference between these two groups(P=0.000). Conclusions Eukaryotic recombination plasmid pEGFP-N1-MMP-3 is successfully constructed,and MMP-3 can be expressed in LECs after transfected.These results lay a foundation for the further research of MMP-3 gene therapy for PCO.

Objective To explore the correlation between the two methods of pulmonary arterial thermodilution technique(ThDCO)and pulse indicator continuous cardiac output(PiCCO)in determining hemodynamic changes in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT).Methods Eighteen patients with end-stage liver disease(ASAⅡ-IV)were performed OLT and monitored hemodynamic changes by PiCCO method and ThDCO method simultaneously.The hemodynamic parameters including mean arterial pressure(MAP),cardiac output(CO)and systemic vascular resistance(SVR)were measured at different time points before anesthesia induction,after tracheal intubation,after the beginning of operation,at anhepatic phase,at neohepatic phase,at the end of operation,and after operation.Results Good correlation was found between the two methods for the determination of CO and SVR(r=0.987,P0.05).Conclusion The hemodynamics change dramatically in patients undergoing OLT.There is good correlation between the two methods of PiCCO and ThDCO for perioperative hemodynamic monitoring in patients undergone OLT,and PiCCO detection can be used conveniently for real-time continuous monitoring.

To establish a method of directional differentiation and efficient production of neurons from embryonic stem cells (ES cells) in vitro, based on the 4-/4+ protocol described by Bain, a new method was established to induce ES cells differentiating into neurons by means of three-step differentiation using all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) combined with astrocyte-conditioned medium (ACM) in Vitro. The totipotency of ES cells was identified by observation of cells' morphology and formations of teratoma in immunocompromised mice. The cells' differentiation was evaluated continuously by the detection of the specific cellular markers of neural stem cells, neurons and astrocytes, including nestin, NSE and GFAP using immunohistochemistry assay. The NSE positive cells' ratio of the differentiated cells was determined by flow cytometry. It was found that the transparent circular clusters surrounding embryoid bodies induced with combining induction protocol formed just after 24 h and gradually enlarged later. This phenomenon could not be observed in EBs induced only by ATRA. The NSE positive cells' ratio in the cells induced with ATRA and ACM was higher than that of the cells induced by ATRA at different time points of differentiation, and finally reached up to 73.5% among the total differentiated population. It was concluded that ES cells could be induced into neurons with high purity and yield by means of inducing method combining with ATRA and ACM.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and metabolic syndrome (MS) in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).Methods:A total of 415 patients with abnormal glucose tolerance were screened by oral glucose tolerance test in Changsha Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital (Changsha Eighth Hospital) from October 2015 to September 2019. General data were collected and blood routine and biochemical indexes were detected. There were 193 cases in the observation group and 222 cases in the control group. The RDW and other clinical indicators were compared between the two groups, the correlation between RDW and other indicators was analyzed, and the risk factors of metabolic syndrome were analyzed.Results:⑴ The RDW, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), height (Ht), weight (Wt), waist circumferenc (Wc), triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (CHOL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), creatinine (Cr), uric acid (UA), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), body mass index (BMI) of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group, while the high density lipoprotein (HDL) was significantly lower than that of the control group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05); ⑵ correlation analysis showed that RDW was positively correlated with SBP, DBP, Ht, Wt, Wc, TG, CHOL, Cr, UA, ALT, hs-CRP, BMI, and negatively correlated with HDL ( P<0.05); ⑶ binary logistic regression analysis showed that RDW, Wt, Wc, CHOL, HDL, LDL and hs-CRP were independent risk factors for MS in patients with impaired glucose tolerance. Conclusions:The increase of RDW is a predictor of metabolic syndrome in people with abnormal glucose tolerance, which may provide some reference value for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome.
