ObjectiveTo determine whether there is correlation between the pathological classification and urinary level of transforming growth factor(TGF)-β1,macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α,and Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) of lupus nephritis.MethodsELISA was used to test the levels of urinary level of TGF-β1,MIP-lα and NGAL.The correlation between these three urinary markers and the pathological classifications,Austin score,histological semi-quantitative score and clinical data were analyzed.Comparisons between groups were performed with t-test,ANOVA and X2 test.Correlation analysis was performed with Pearson analysis.Results①There was significant difference in urinary TGF- β1,MIP1α,and NGAL levels when compared the lupus nephritis group,SLE patients without renal damage group and the normal control group [TGF-β1(351±219),(92±60),(74±29) pg/ml],[MIP-1α(18.0±15.5),(8.5±2.3),(7.1±1.9) pg/ml],[NGAL (1.104±0.519),(0.181±0.030),(0.146±0.024) ng/ml],while there was no significant difference between lupus nephritis (LN) group and patients with other glomerulonephritis.② There was significant difference in the three urinary markers when stratified the LN patients based on the pathological classifications,however,there was no significant difference between the LN group and other glomerulonephritis group.③ Analysis of the correlation between the three urinary markers and semiquantitative histopathological score of the LN patients showed that the urinary level of TGF-β1 and MsMI,GCI,TCI,VCI was closely related to each other,the urinary MIP-1α was related to and endol,and the dGAI and VCI was closely related, while the urinary NGAL was closely related with endol,dGAI and MsHI.The correlation analysis between the three urinary markers and acute and chronic pathological index score of the LN patients showed that TGF- β1 was correlated with the chronic index(r=0.89,P＜0.01 ),the MIP-lα and NGAL were significantly correlated with the activity index(r=0.71,P＜0.01 ; r=0.60,P＜0.01 ).Conclusion There is a positive correlation between the urine TGF-β1 level and chronic kidney disease.The urinary MIP-lαand NGAL are associated with active renal damage.

Objective To investigate the teaching effectiveness of preventive medicine and ask the students for feedback on the curriculum in order to reform the teaching methods.Methods Questionnaire survey.Sampling survey.Results 89.2％ of students have realized the importance of preventive medicine.Respectively 16.4％ and 7.5％ of students have no interesting on the curriculum due to teachers'matter and students' idea that the course is uselessness for their major and future career.75.1％ of students are interest in Nutrition and Food Hygiene,35.2％ of students dislike Medical Statistics,and 45.3％ of students think the most tough part is Medical Statistics.78.9％ of students wish to have more practice lessons.30.5％ of students do not ask teachers questions because of no communication with teachers after class.Conclusions Preventive Medicine is still ignored by a few students.The more tough the content is,the less interest the students have. Repeatedly emphasizing the importance of Preventive Medicine in medical education,adopting and combining with the community practical cases in class lectures and frequently communicating between teachers and students after class are suggested.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of laparoscopic uItrasonography ( LUS) in u-rinary laparoscopic surgery .Methods In 6 cases of urological laparoscopic surgery , laparoscopic ultra-sound examination were taken , including 3 cases of simple renal cysts , 1 case of adrenal pheochromocyto-ma, 2 cases of hamartoma , were excised under the LUS guidance and the results were compared with the traditional simple laparoscopic surgery .Results With laparoscopic uItrasonography guidance , the bounda-ry and blood supply of cyst or tumor could be shown more clearly compared with trans -abdominal ultrasound . We could differ the tumors from dilated pelvis and renal calices , So the damage to the collecting system and renal blood vessels were avoided .With LUS guidance , tumors were excised more completely , so that re-mained tumor tissues would be avoided and normal renal tissues would be protected .Conclusion LUS may provide more precise surgical information and may play an important role guiding laparoscopic operation in urinary surgery .

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of Peitu Shengjin Recipe (PSR) on nutritional states and immune functions of stable phase chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.

METHODSTotally 62 stable phase COPD patients were randomly assigned to the treatment group (30 cases) and the control group (32 cases). All patients inhaled Seretide (50/500 µg), twice per day. Besides, patients in the treatment group additionally received PSR, one dose per day. After three months of treatment, the COPD assessment test (CAT) score, the index of nutritional states [including body mass index (BMI) , thickness of skin fold (TSF), mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC), serum albumin, serum prealbumin], and immune functions (including IgA, IgM, and IgG) were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSBy the end of the treatment, the CAT score decreased more obviously in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The improvement of BMI, TSF, MAMC, serum albumin, and serum prealbumin was better in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). IgM and IgG also increased more in the treatment group (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in IgA between the two groups (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSAdditionally use of PSR could improve nutritional states and immune functions of stable phase COPD patients to some extent. Meanwhile, it also could improve their health related quality of life.

Purpose To evaluate the application of fluorescence in situ hybridization ( FISH) in detection of EWSR1 gene translocation in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples of Ewing family tumor ( EFT) . Methods Four cases of EFT were collected and their clinical pathological features were obsered. Interphase FISH was carried out in paraffin-embedded tissue of EFT cases, using a EWSR1 dual colar break-apart probe. Fifteen cases of other soft tissue tumor were selected as negative control. Results Translocation of EWSR1 was detected in four EFT cases, which may be a adjuvantly diagnositic value for the diagnosis of atypical cases. Conclu-sions FISH may serve as an adjunctive diagnostic tool in problematic cases of EFT, however, FISH results should be interpreted con-cerning clinical pathological features, morphological patterns and immunohistological results.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine administered locally on the median effective concentration ( EC50 ) of ropivacaine for paravertebral nerve block ( PVNB) . Methods Forty?eight ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ female patients, aged 20-64 yr, with body mass index<24 kg∕m2 , scheduled for elective unilateral segmental mastectomy under PVNB, were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n=24 each) using a random number table: ropivacaine group ( group R) and ropivacaine mixed with dexmedetomidine group ( group RD) . PVNB was performed at T4 on the operated side guided by ultrasound and nerve stimulator. Ropivacaine 20 ml and a mixture of ropivacaine and 20 μg dexmedetomidine 20 ml were injected locally in group R and group RD, respectively. The concentration of ropivacaine was determined by up?and?down sequential allocation. The initial ropivacaine concentration was set at 0. 35%, and the ratio between the two successive concentrations was 1. 2. The EC50 and 95%confidence interval of ropivacaine were calculated using Dixon?Massey method. Results The EC50 ( 95%confidence interval) of ropivacaine was 0.27% (0.23%-0.30%) and 0.22% (0.18%-0.25%) in group R and group RD, respectively. Compared with group R, the EC50 of ropivacaine was significantly decreased by 19% in group RD. Conclusion Small dose of dexmedetomidine administered locally can significantly enhance the efficacy of PVNB with ropivacaine.
