And then,their effects were evaluated and compared with those of traditional learning method.Results More than 60% of the students agreed with PBL methods,and they considered PBL favorable to practice scientific logical thinking of clinical affairs,to increase their capabilities of learning,oral expression,communication and cooperation.The teachers agreed with PBL methods too for the better learning effect resulting from PBL.Conclusion PBL fits the needs of medical learning reformation.To train new type of doctors in century 21st,it is necessary to use kinds of new learning methods,including PBL methods and standardized patient (SP)in clinical teaching.

Haemophilia is caused by lack of coagulation factor VIII or IX in patients′blood with inadequate hemostasis.Currently recombinant coagulation factor VII(rFVII)produced in different cells is used against clini-cal bleeding of haemophilia patients.To enhance the production and activity of rFVII;some eukaryotic cells such as baby hamster kidney(BHK);Chinese hamster ovary(CHO);insect cell and fish embryo;were used to express rFVII.Meanwhile;the effect of functional gene on the activity of rFVII and the limitation of rFVII production caused by post-translational modification were investigated by different methods.The role of rFVII in hemostasis;synthesis of rFVII in different eukaryotic cells and impact on production of post-translational modification are reviewed in this article.

AIM: To investigate the influence of dialysate on the cell morphology and the peritoneal membrane function in chronic peritoneal dialysis rats. METHODS: 40 SD rats were divided randomly into 4 groups. Except control group, other groups daily received infusion of 20 mL dialysate (4.25% dialysate(HG), 1.50% dialysate(LG), Riger's solution(RG)) respectively for 8 weeks. The peritoneal membrane function was investigated by peritoneal transport test, and the rat peritoneal mesothelial cells(PMCs)morphology was analyzed by the cell imprints. RESULTS: The intraperitoneal volume and net ultrafiltration in HG and LG groups were significantly lower, with D/P_(urea) significantly higher, and C_(urea) after 4 h of dialysis significantly lower than that in RG and control groups. The density of cell population from analysis of cell imprints in HG and LG groups was significantly lower, but the mean surface area were significantly larger than that in RG and control groups. These change had no difference between HG and LG group. Using the high glucose dialysate for 8 weeks significantly decreased the ultrafiltration volume ,which was significantly relate to the increasing of cell surface area (r=-0.896,P

Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods The clinical data of 438 patients with severe pneumonia who were admitted in the intensive care unit in 2016 were retrospectively analyzed for analysis of AKI and assessment of risk factors. Results Among the 438 patients with severe pneumonia,the incidence of AKI was 53.42%. Within 72 hours after admission into the ICU, 86.75% of them developed AKI mainly from hypovolemic or septic shock(accounting for 80.34%). The detection rate of AKI by the standards of RIFLE and AKIN was lower than by the standards of KDIGO (45.89%,48.17%vs. 53.42%). Anemia ,shock /hypotension ,drugs ,RRT ,APPACHE II scores were the predictors of AKI. Conclusions The incidence of severe pneumonia complicated with AKI is high. Most of the patients develop it in 72 hours after admission into the ICU. Anemia,shock/hypotension,drugs,RRT,APPACHE II scores are its risk factors.

Objective To compare the clinical therapeutic effects of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) and continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) for treatment of patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).Methods A prospective observation was conducted, seventy patients with MODS admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical College from September 2013 to December 2016 were enrolled, and they were divided into a CVVH group and a CVVHDF group according to different treatment, 35 cases in each group. In the CVVH group, the ultrafiltration fluid flow rate was set at 1800 mL/h, while in the CVVHDF group, the flow rate was set at 2000 mL/h for both substitution fluid and dialysate, and the blood flow of the two groups was 150-180 mL/min. The changes of creatinine (SCr), urea nitrogen (BUN), pH value, HCO3-, helper T cell (Th1, Th2) and Th1/Th2 ratio were compared between the two groups before and after treatment for 24, 48 and 72 hours.Results With the extension of time, SCr, BUN were reduced in both groups after treatment compared to those before treatment, 72 hoursafter treatment they reached the lowest value, and the degree of change in CVVHDF group was more significant than that in CVVH group [SCr (μmol/L): 150.62±32.09 vs. 180.41±30.52, BUN (mmol/L): 7.31±2.19 vs. 9.06±2.36. allP < 0.05], after treatment; the pH value, HCO3- level in the two groups had a tendency at first elevated and then lowered, 48 hours after treatment they reached the peak values, compared with those before treatment, the differences were statistically significant [CVVH group: the pH value 7.42±0.08 vs. 7.25±0.10, HCO3- (mmol/L) was 22.49±5.11 vs. 15.65±4.16; CVVHDF group: pH value 7.41±0.04 vs. 7.24±0.11, HCO3- (mmol/L) 23.24±4.78 vs. 15.65±4.16, allP < 0.05], 72 hours after treatment, they began reduced (CVVH group: pH value, HCO3- were 7.39±0.09, 22.35±4.91 respectively, CVVHDF group: pH value, HCO3- were 7.38±0.06, 23.13±4.61 respectively), but they were still significantly higher than those before treatment, and at each time point compared between the two groups, no statistical significant difference was seen (allP > 0.05). With the extension of therapeutic time, Th1, Th1/Th2 in two groups were gradually elevated after treatment, and 72 hours after treatment they reached the peak values; Th2 showed a trend of gradual decrease and after 72 hours of treatment it reached the lowest value, and the changes in CVVHDF group were more significant than those in CVVH group [Th1 (×10-2): 1.51±0.12 vs. 1.21±0.11, Th2 (×10-2): 1.64±0.65 vs. 1.70±0.18, Th1/Th2: 0.91±0.14 vs. 0.71±0.15, allP < 0.05].Conclusion Both CVVH and CVVHDF can effectively remove inflammatory mediators and metabolic products, adjust the balance of acid and base, regulate immune system in the body of patients with MODS, and the CVVHDF is more effective than CVVH.
