Chinese Medical Ethics 1995;0(03):-
Embodied as an abstract concept as well as concrete regulations and material environment on the campus,the campus culture is the organizational culture among universities,which plays a significant role in enhancing students' quality of career starting.Similar to its social culture,the American campus culture is characterized by a strong personal heroism thus is known as a "cowboy culture".As the so-called "dragon culture",the Chinese culture is a more conservative one and thus lack of innovation-oriented career starting concepts among Chinese university students.Therefore,in order to effectively carry out entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities,the innovation-oriented campus culture should be constructed,students' entrepreneurship conception strengthened,thus students' sense of career starting and mental status be enhanced.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect and associated mechanism of rapamycin on proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) secretion in myofibroblasts stimulated by connective tissue growth factor (CTGF). Methods Primary cultivated myofibroblasts were divided into 6 groups: control, CTGF (100 μg/L), rapamycin 20 μg/L+CTGF 100 μg/L, rapamycin 40 μg/L +CTGF 100 μg/L, rapamycin 20 μg/L, and rapamycin 40 μg/L alone. 5'-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation assay was used to detect the myofibroblast proliferation.Western blot was used to analysis the secretory FN protein in the supernatant medium of cultured myofibroblasts and the ERK1/2 phosphorylation in myofibroblasts. Results CTGF (100 μg/L)incubation significantly increased the number of Brdu positive myofibroblasts(P<0.01) and the level of FN protein secretory (P<0.05) in cell supernatant medium compared with control group,respectively. The number of Brdu positive myofibroblasts markedly decreased by 62% and 70% (P <0.05) in rapamycin 20 μg/L+CTGF 100 μg/L and rapamycin 40 μg/L+CTGF 100 μg/L groups, respectively. The FN protein levels in supernatant were decreased by 15% and 44% compared with CTGF 100 μg/L group, respectively; but the difference of FN protein levels was significant only in rapamycin 40 μg/L group (P<0.05). CTGF could activate ERK1/2 at 10 minutes; but as myofibroblasts were pretreated with rapamycin 40 μg/L for 30 min, it abolished CTGF-induced ERK1/2 phosphoralation. PD98059, the specific inhibitor of ERK1/2, could block the effect of CTGF-induced proliferation (7%±5% vs 85%±7%, P<0.01) and FN secretion (1.0±0.1 vs 1.6±0.3, P<0.05). Conclusions Rapamycin partially suppresses the proliferation and ECM secretion of myofibroblasts induced by CTGF. Its effect may be through inhibiting CTGF-induced activation of ERKI/2 signaling pathway.

Objective We make a retrospective analysis , to compare to COPD group and discuss the risk factors and the clinical features in acute exacerbation in patients with ACOS to follow-up the exacerbating frequency after regular treatment in both two groups in one year. Methods There were 56 patients with ACOS and 80 patients with COPD from 2013 to 2015 in our hospital in 30%≤FEV1<80% in the stable phase. The common data of the enrolled patients included the age,sex,smoking, and allergic rhinitis or other allergic diseases in family. We analyzed laboratory index including PaO2,PaCO2,CRP,white blood cells,IgE of serums and compared the proportion of antibiotics,system used of glucocorticoid and noninvasive ventilation in hospitalization of acute exacerbation and followed up exacerbating frequency after using ICS united LABA/LAMA. Results The age and smoking index in the ACOS group were lower than the COPD group (P < 0.05). The allergic rhinitis or other familial allergic diseases,lower age of 60,the high IgE in serum were risk factor, in ACOS. In acute exacerbation, the PaCO2,IgE and WBC in serum were higher than that of the COPD group(P <0.05). The midian length of stay in hosipital was 12 days in the ACOS group and 8 days in the COPD group. The proportion of antibiotics,systemic administration of glucocorticoid and noninvasive ventilation in hospitalization of acute exacerbation in the ACOS group were higher than that of the COPD group (P < 0.05). The exacerbating frequency was decreased after using ICS united LABA/LAMA(1.2±0.6 vs 3.8±1.3,P < 0.05)in both ACOS and COPD groups. Conclusions The allergic diseases may participate in ACOS, in which it has familial tendency. In acute exacerbation, ACOS patients had even more inflammation and faster course than COPD patients. Using ICS united LABA/LAMA can reduce exacerbating frequency in ACOS.
