Objective To understand the attitude and current situation of medical English stud y as well as its relevant factors among long schooling medical students so as to provide first hand information for constructing students-centered medical English teaching model. Methods A self-de-signed questionnaire including basic information of students, attitude and current situation of medical English students was given to 134 seven or eight year program clinical medical graduates from grade 2006 to grade 2008 in Tongji University. Questionnaires were collected timely and an-alyzed with SPSS 19.0 and results were described by percentage. Results Totally 132 copies of questionnaire were recovered with an recovering rate of 98.51%. 56.82%(75/132) students had interest in medical English study and 71.97%(95/132)students had a will to go abroad for learning exchange. Main pur-poses for students to learn medical English were ‘professional literature reading’(68.94%,91/132),‘SCI papers writing’(59.09%,78/132)and ‘international communication’(58.33%, 77/132). Main influencing factors of medical English study were ‘boring teaching methods ’ ( 45 . 45%, 60/132 ) ,‘difficult medical English’(41.67%,55/132) and ‘insufficient teaching time’(40.91%,54/132).Conclusions Medical students with long schooling have demand for medical English study;however, most of them have some difficulties in practical application. Measures should be taken from three as-pects including students, teachers and curriculum setting to improve students' medical English.

Objective: To further understand the role of folic acid supplements rivaling MTHFR gene silencing in pathogenesis of NCLP, RNA interference (RNAi) was applied to knock down MTHFR in mouse embryonic palatal mesenchymal (EPM) cells. Methods: MTHFR ShRNA expression vector were transfected into the primary cultured EPM cells. MTT was used to observe cell proliferation after MTHFR gene silencing. FCM was used to observe cell cycle after MTHFR gene silencing. Results: The results showed the cells proliferation had an inequality amelioration after using folic acid supplements in MEPM cells with MTHFR gene silencing. Using folic acid supplements rivaled the effect of MTHFR gene silencing had a dose-dependent manner. Using 20 μg/ml folic acid supplements could improve the cell proliferation to achieve normal level of cell proliferation. Conclusion: MTHFR gene is an important candidate gene of NCL/P. Using folic acid supplements could prevent teratogenic MTHFR gene silencing for embryonic palate development.

Objective To explore the clinical value of false positive of Down’ s Syndrome Screening for premature rupture of membranes in the second trimester of pregnancy. Methods From Jan. 2009 to Jul. 2013, there were 321 cases who were in the second trimester of high risk pregnancy recieved Down’ s Syndrome Screening. Their fetals have been excluded chromosome or organ abnormality, and there was no fetal organ structure abnormal through sequence prenatal ultrasound examinations. Results of their pregnancy have been followed-up, and pregnancy outcomes of 346 cases who were of low risk were followed-up at the same time. Results Among the 321 cases, there were 14 ca-ses of abortion because of PROM ( gestational age less than 28 weeks);17 cases of premature delivery because of PROM, including 9 cases whose gestational age were from 28 to 34 weeks and 8 cases whose gestational age were from 34 weeks to 37 weeks;and 7 cases of neonatal asphyxia. In the low risk group, abortion because of PROM occured in 6 cases before 28 weeks, 3 cases between 28 to 34 weeks, and 4 ca-ses between 34 to 37 weeks, and neonatal asphyxia occured in 3 cases. Conclusion Comparing with Down’ s screening false positive preg-nant women and the low risk group, the false positive group have a higher occurrence of PROM, Down’ s screening is a potential high risk in-dex as a predictor of PROM.

Objective To explore the relation between lower extremity deep venous thrombosis and knee injury.Methods 100 knee injury patients were operated on in our department.The difference of incidence rates of DVT,the thrombus location and incidence rates of DVT before and after operation in the two groups was compared.There were no fatal pulmonary embolism occurring in either group.Results The incidence rate of DVT in tibial plateau fracture group was 52％,that in patellar fracture was 30％ (P ＜ 0.05).DVT incidence rate of popliteal,pretibial,posterior tibial vein thrombosis in group of tibial plateau fracture was higher than that in group of patellar fracture (P ＜ 0.05),while there was no significant difference in postoperative thrombosis between the two groups(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions There is a high incidence rate of DVT in knee joint injury.Which is closely related to the position of fracture and limb immobilization.

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) is usually abnormally overexpressed, which mainly leads to the transcriptional repression of tumor suppressor genes. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDIs) exert anti-tumor biological effects by regulating nucleosome structure, inhibiting HDAC activity, and controlling the expression of tumor suppressor genes. There are currently 5 drugs on the market, but only for peripheral T-cell lymphoma and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. In solid tumors, most of the HDAC inhibitors used have failed to achieve effective therapeutic effects. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) is the starting node of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway, which plays a very important role in the proliferation, migration, invasion, and differentiation of tumor cells. The abnormal activation of PI3K is closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors, and the combined use of HDAC and PI3K inhibitors and HDAC/PI3K dual-target inhibitors show synergistic anticancer activity. This article introduces the anti-tumor clinical and preclinical research progress of representative HDAC inhibitors and PI3K inhibitors, as well as HDAC/PI3K dual-target inhibitors.

Objective To evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (STBI) after craniotomy,and evaluate the difference of HBOT effects on the patients whose Glasgow coma score (GCS) were 6-8 scores and 3-5 scores.Methods Using case-control study,61 neurosurgical in-patients with STBl from February 6,2009 to November 25,2010 were divided into two groups by random digits table,30 in HBOT group and 31 in control group.Their GCS at the periods on admission,before HBOT and when they finished HBOT were recorded,as well as the Glasgow outcome score (GOS) before HBOT,finished HBOT,and 3 months after admission (GOS3M).Results The GCS finished HBOT were (12.63 ±2.70) scores in HBOT group and (11.64 ±2.50) scores in GCS 3-5 subgroup,there were statistically differences than those in control group [ (10.61± 3.01 ),(8.44 ± 1.67)scores] (P ＜0.05).The mean rank of GCS finished HBOT improvement (△GOSf) and GOS scores 3months after admission ( △ GOS3M) in HBOT group was 35.37 and 35.87,which were significantly higher than those in control group (26.77 and 26.29) (P ＜0.05).Meanwhile,the mean rank of △GOSf and △ GOS3M in GCS 3-5 subgroup was 12.14 and 13.09,which were significantly higher than those in control group (8.05 and 7.33) (P ＜ 0.05 ).In GCS 6-8 subgroup,there was no significant difference in △ GOSf and △ GOS3M between HBOT group and control group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Early HBOT is effective to improve the recovery of consciousness and prognosis of the postoperative patient with STBI,especially of the patients with the special STBI (GCS 3-5 scores ).
