Objective Quantitative evaluation was conducted to assess the development level and trend,as well as discipline distribution of basic medical research in China,based on SCI publications.Methods Descriptive analysis and trend analysis by 5-year moving time window were applied to analyze the quantity,quality,discipline distribution and current status and trend of development of medical research papers published by Chinese scientists during 2004 and 2013;Results Among a total of 280,200 medical research papers published from 2004 to 2013 period,China ranked # 5 in the world in terms of the quantity of papers.However,the average citation of 8.34 for Chinese paper was far below the global average of 14.11.Among all papers published by Chinese scientists,the percentages of papers in the field of psychiatry/psychology,neuroscience/behavior,immunology and clinical medicine were 2.20％,7.59％,3.93％ and 40.67％,respectively,lower than those of global average (6.71％,9.41％,4.62％ and 47.45％).The percentages of papers in other disciplines were higher for China than for global average.Regarding to the development trend,the annual increase in the number of publications of 5 years was 22.24 ％,while the 5-year citation per paper was only 2.03 ％.Conclusions The quantity of basic medical research in China is large and growing rapidly,while the quality of these researches remains in relatively lower level,and need to be improved substantially.With the discipline distribution different from the global average,psychiatry/psychology,neuroscience/behavior,immunology and clinical medicine should be strengthened in the future.

The model of vaginal candidiasis in Kunming mice was constructed in order to search for the optima construction conditions and provide an economic animal model of Candida albicans (C. albicans) vaginitis. Estrogen benzoate (E2) was given to mice at different concentrations ranging from 0.0 to 0.05 mg/mouse (4 levels) beginning 72 h prior to vaginal inoculation, then mice were inoculated intravaginally with various concentrations of stationary-phase C. albicans blastoconidia (ATCC90028) (5 levels) in 20 microL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) in each E2 level. General state, scores of genital pathology, the hyphae and vaginal fungal burden (CFU) in vaginal lavage fluid, the hydrops rate of uterus and vaginal tissues for pathological section in mice were observed and obtained at day 2, 4, 7, 14 and 21 after inoculation. The results showed the infection rate in mice was related to the dosage of E2 and concentration of C. albicans blastoconidia. Additionally there was better cross-effect between the two treated factors. The infection rate was about 80% on the day 4, and could reach 100% on the day 7 until the end of experiment after inoculated intravaginally in groups of E2I3, E2 0.025 mg/mouse injected hypodermically and inoculated intravaginally with 5 x 10(4) C. albicans blastoconidia, and large amount of hyphae and blastoconidia could be observe in superficial layer tissue and canal of vaginal by PAS. From the results in our experiment it was concluded that E2I3 was the optima construction condition in kunming mice.

Objectives To investigate the effect of electric vagal stimulation on the gene expression of injured myocardium from ischemia/reperfusion rat model and explore the involved molecular mechanism.Methods Twenty Sprague Dawley male rats were randomly selected and divided into 2 groups evenly:ischemia/reperfusion group (I/R group),and vagus nerve stimulation group (STM group).The left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was ligated and subjected to 30 min of myocardial ischemia followed by 2 h of reperfusion.In addition,10 min before reperfusion,left cervical vagus nerve of STM group was subjected to electronic stimulation at 5 V,2 ms and 1 Hz for 20 min.After 120 min of reperfusion,every group was randomly divided into two parts.One part that myocardium was collected from left ventricle was applied to determine the area of myocardial infarction.The RNA isolated from another part of the ischemic myocardium collected from left ventricle was hybridized to get gene expression profiles and the quality of hybridized RNA from both I/R and STM group was assessed and analyzed.GeneSpring software was applied to screen out the genes,which show significant difference between groups I/R and STM.Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was applied to analyze the expression of important genes.Results (1)The area of myocardial infarction of STM (25.5 ± 3.9) ％ was significant reduced relative to L/R group (45.5 ± 4.8) ％ (P ＜ 0.05).(2)The expression levels of 186 genes were changed significantly,and analyzed by Gene ontology (GO) software,there were 3 kinds of genes were affected.The upregulated genes were reported to show protective effect on myocardium.The downregulated gene was relative to inflammation.(3)The RT-PCR result confirmed the genechip assay.Conclusions Electric vagal stimulation can reduce myocardial I/R injury in rats.Significant change of the gene expression was detected between groups I/R and STM.The results suggest that activation of cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway be involved in the mechanism.

Benefits in survival and quality of life have been demonstrated in patients with advanced gastric cancer receiving chemotherapy plus optimal supportive care versus optimal supportive care alone.The taxanes, which are among the most promising cytotoxic agents in clinical use have considerable activity in a number of tumor types.Paclitaxel,especially low-dose weekly administration,has shown encouraging activity in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer as a single agent.Patients treated with the low-dose weekly paclitaxel regimen had a statistically superior response rate and time to disease progression as well as clinically significant prolongation of survival.And it offers a new option for those advanced gastric patients such as the aged,poor performance status(PS) or unsuitable for combination chemotherapy,and those even with no indications for rountine chemotherapy.This review is focused on the clinical reports of low-dose weekly administration of paclitaxel for patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Invasion and metastasis are the distinct biological characterstics of cancer. They are the key factors influencing tumour patients' theraputic effect and prognosis. Recent study shows that metalloproteinases can facilitate tumour cell invasion and metastasis. In this review we evaluate the novel aspects of the function of matrix metalloproteinases in tumor invasion and metastasis. The regulation of the expression and activity of MMPs are summarized. The potential clinical application of metalloproteinase and their tissue inhibitors were also presented.

Methamphetamine ( METH ) , a powerful stimulant of amphetamine type in the central nervous system ( CNS ) , is a new kind of synthetic drugs mainly in psychological dependence. Long-time abuse will lead to strong neurotoxicity and drug de-pendence. Recently it has become the abuse problem in public health. Autophagy is a process of degradation and utilization of the cellular components by the lysosome, which widely exists in eukaryotic cells. Many studies show that methamphetamine can iduce autophagy,but the underlying mechanism is not fully un-derstood yet . Therefore,the mechanisms and signaling pathways of autophagy by methamphetamine and the roles of autophagy in methamphetamine induce neurotoxicity are reviewed in this pa-per, so as to provide reference materials for further research of methamphetamine and autophagy.

Objective The purpose was to explore the preventive measures of patellar baja following high tibial osteotomy for osteoarthritis, and the correlation between alteration in the inclination of the proximal tibial articular surface and patellar baja was evaluated as well. Methods In the group, there were 41 cases (48 knees), which included 30 males and 11 females, aging from 45 to 56 years with the mean age of 52 years. The size of resected bone of the arthritic knee needed to achieve a normal angle was calculated, and an additional 3 to 5 degrees of overcorrection was added to achieve approximately 10 degrees of genu valgum. The Insall-Salvati ratio, the inclination of the proximal tibial articular surface, the tibial tubercle height and the anatomic axis of the affected limbs were measured on the preoperative, postoperative as well as the final follow-up radiographs respectively. Chi-square test and linear regression analysis were used to assess the influence of loss of proximal tibial articular inclination on the patellar height. In the statistical analysis, loss more than 5 degrees of proximal tibial articular inclination and lowering more than 10% of the patella following tibial osteotomy were assumed of clinical significance. Results Compared with the preoperative results, the postoperative inclination of the proximal tibial articular surface was decreased by a mean of 6.14 degrees; the postoperative Insall-Salvati ratio was decreased by a mean of 10.6%; the postoperative height of the tibial tubercle was decreased by a mean of 3.13 mm. 64.6% (31/48 knees) endured loss more than 5 degrees of posterior tibial inclination after high tibial osteotomy, whereas 56.2% (28/48 knees) showed a relative lowering of patellar height more than 10%, as measured by the Insall-Salvati ratio. The loss of the normal posterior tibial inclination was found to have a statistically significant correlation with the subsequent loss of the patellar height. Conclusion The loss of inclination of the proximal tibial articular surface is found to have a correlation with the loss of the patellar height. Clinically, the result suggests that preserving the inclination of the proximal tibial articular surface at the time of high tibial osteotomy could minimize the risk of patellar lowering after the high tibial osteotomy.

Objective To study the imaging diagnostic methods of fibrous dysplasia.Methods 31 patients with fibrous dysplasia proved pathologically were studied. In addition to CT scan in 11 cases and MRI in 6 cases,plain films were performed in all 31 cases. The compartive analysis was made between the features of plain film and CT.Results Of 31cases, 18 patients had monostotic fibrous dysplasia and 13 polyostotic lesions. Roentgenologically, they were divisible into 4 type: cystic type(18 lesions),diffuse type(30 lesions),sponge groud-flesh type(2 lesions) and moth-eaten type(2 lesions). CT features of lesions were classified into 2 type: cystic expanded type(38 lesions) and osteosclerotic type(7 lesions).Conclusion X-ray film should be used as the first choice in diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia. CT is hightly sensitive in displaying the craniofacial lesions.The lesions can be correctly diagnosed in most instances,if plain film combined with CT.
