Objective:To investigate the cognitive status of socialist core value among medical students, and to provide reference for the core value education in medical colleges and universities. Methods: 1024 medical students were selected with random cluster sampling method, and the socialist core value was investigated using self-designed questionnaire. Results:It was shown that 69 percent of medical students recognized the importance of socialist core values, but the contents had not been mastered. Social atmosphere, medical student's own short-coming and school education were all the factors leading to the weakness of socialist core values. Conclusion:It is quite necessary to cultivate medical students′socialist core values. Class, school, and society should play the main role to guide the medical students to establish the correct socialist core value.

Objective To investigate the effect of leucine-rich-repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5 )on the proliferation and drug resistance of HeLa cells and its possible mechanism.Methods LGR5 expression was interfered using shRNA,and LGR5 knockdown HeLa cells were constructed.The effect of LGR5 on the proliferation and drug resistance of HeLa cell was evaluated by cell count,clone formation and MTT;the expressions of LGR5 and β-catenin in HeLa cells were detected by Western blot method.Results LGR5 knockdown HeLa cell line was successfully constructed;the cell growth rate and clone formation rate in shLGR5 group were markedly decreased compared to those in shCon group (P<0 .01 ).Drug resistance of HeLa to cisplatin differed significantly between shLGR5 group and shCon group (P<0.01 ).Moreover,the LGR5 knockdown inhibited the expression ofβ-catenin in HeLa cells.Conclusion LGR5 plays an important role in cell proliferation and drug resistance of HeLa cells,and its mechanism is related to Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

AIM: To investigate the role of D1 and D3 dopamine receptor on MAPK signal transduction and c-fos gene expression after acute cocaine treatment. METHODS: Activations of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 activation and expression of c-fos in wild type and D1 and D3 receptor mutant mice after acute cocaine treatment were checked by Western blotting. RESULTS: ERK activation and c-fos induction was enhanced in D3 mutant mice and abolished in D1 mutant mice by acute cocaine treatment, while p38 and JNK activation was not obviously modulated by the D1 and D3 receptors by acute cocaine treatment. Meanwhile, c-fos induction was inhibited when SL327, a specific MEK inhibitor, was injected before cocaine treatment. CONCLUSION: D1 and D3 receptors play opposite roles in the regulation of ERK activation and c-fos gene expression after acute cocaine treatment. The expression of c-fos gene depends on ERK signal pathway after acute cocaine treatment.

Objective:To investigate the medical students' cognition of ethical issues in assisted reproductive technology (ART) and discuss the importance of ethical education in medical colleges and universities.Methods:A questionnaire survey about the ethical cognition of assisted reproductive technology was conducted among 632 medical students.The questionnaire included the donation and management of gametes and embryos,and offspring problems.Results:Medical students agreed with most of the current ART-related laws and regulations.however,44.8％ of medical students considered that criteria of donating eggs should be relaxed,such as allowing women who do not receive ART treatment be paid for eggs.In addition,a total of 39.0％ of medical students supported the legalization of surrogacy technology in china.Conclusion:Medical students exists a certain misunderstanding in egg donation and surrogacy technology.We should give more training to medical students in ethical knowledge.In addition,our country can supplement and perfect the current laws and regulations to a certain extent.

Objective To study the effect of reducing no-reflow after PCI treatment by early using Tirofiban and suction catheter in AMI patients .Methods 76 cases of patients were divided into group A (38 cases) and group B(38 cases) .The group A began to use Tirofiban with suction catheter to aspiration after coronary guidewire entering ,the suction were used in group B when the thrombus burden became exacerbation after balloon dilation .In addition ,chosen 38 cases of AMI patients treated with Tirofiban af-ter balloon dilation as group C .The influence of different treatment options to no-reflow and slow blood flow ,cardiovascular adverse events and the incidence of bleeding were observed .Results Group A compared with other two groups ,the no-reflow and slow flow rate had statistically significant differences (P< 0 .05) ,but there was no statistically significant differencebetween group B and group C(P>0 .05) .After three different surgical treatments ,the incidence of bleeding complications had no significant difference (P>0 .05 .The occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events had statistically significant between A group and C (P<0 .05) ,but there was no statistically significant difference between group B and group C (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Three kinds of treatment all have certain effect to reduce no-reflow in emergency PCI of AMI ,but early use of tirofiban with suction catheter in treatment of emergen-cy treatment has great clinical significance to reduce no-reflow .This study provides an effective treatment plan to reduce no-reflow in PCI for AMI .

Objective To investigate the radiation-induced esophageal toxicities in Ⅲ stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated by three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) combined with concurrent chemotherapy, and to find the relevant predictive factors. Methods From September 2006 to October 2007, 37 patients with stage Ⅲ NSCLC were treated by 3 DCRT (60 Gy in 30-34 fractions) con-currently with navelbine and cisplatin (NP). Chemotherapy was given in the first and fifth week. Univariate and multivariate analyses and receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) were used to assess the associ-ation of radiation-induced esophagitis and correlated factors. Results Of all the patients, 91.89% (34/37) developed radiation-induced esophagitis, including grade 1 in 11 patients, grade 2 in 9, grade 3 in 14 and grade 4 in none. According to Spearman correlative analysis, the correlative factors included mean esophagus dose (MED), the LETT_(40)、LETT_(45)、LETT_(50)、LETT_(55)、LETT_60)of esophagus.All the 11 factors had good correlation with esophagitis in univariate analysis, while only V_55 was independ-ently associated with esophagitis in multivariate analysis. The ROC analysis indicated that the cut-off point of the curve was 30% with the area under ROC curve of 0.906, (P=0.000). Grade 2 or 3 radiation esophagi-tis occurred in all the patients with esophageal V_55 > 30%, while only in 36% ( 8/22 ) of those with V_55<30%. Conclusions 3DCRT combined with concurrent chemotherapy in patients with stage Ⅲ NSCLC could develop severe esophagitis. Dosimetric parameters (MED, LETT_(40),LETT_(45),LETT_(50),LETT_(55),LETT_(60),V_(40),V_(45),V_50,V_55,V_(60))are related with esophagitis,V_55 with V_55 > 30% being the most valuable predictor.
