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.

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 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.

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 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.

Objective It has been known that hepatopulmonary syndrome(HPS) is related to the imbalance between vasoconstrictors and vasodilators. The aim of the study is to examine the levels of plasma calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) and endothelin(ET) in patients with HPS for exploring their roles in HPS formation. Methods The levels of CGRP and ET were measured by radioimmunoassay in 16 cases of HPS, 30 cases of liver cirrhosis without HPS and 15 normal controls. Results The levels of plasma CGRP ((65?15)pg/ml) and ET((78?21)pg/ml) in 16 cases of HPS were significantly higher than those in liver cirrhosis (CGRP (51?15) pg/ml, ET (60?14) pg/ml) and in healthy controls (CGRP (32?12) pg/ml, ET (36?11) pg/ml) ( P 0.05). Conclusions The increase of plasma CGRP and ET is closely associated with the intrapulmonar vascular dilation of HPS and hypoxemia. The levels of plasma CGRP and ET in liver cirrhosis were significantly higher than those in healthy controls ( P

Objective To investigate the clinical data of a patient with IgG4-related disease involving the trachea and paratracheal soft tissue and review the literature so as to improve the understanding level of the disorder.Methods To analyze the clinical manifestation,laboratory examination,imaging,histopathology,treatment and prognosis of a patient with IgG4-related disease trachea and paratracheal soft tissue involved,who was admitted to the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital.The relevant literatures were reviewed.Results A 18-year-old female was admitted with chief complaint of cough,dyspnea,and neck mass.Neck CT suggested that tracheal stenosis was caused by surrounded soft tissue.Paratracheal mass biopsy showed dense collagen fibers with infiltration of many lymphocytes and plasma cells.Immunohistochemical stain found that IgG4-positive plasma cells were > 50/high power field (HPF) and a ratio of IgG4/IgG positive cells was over 40%.The level of serum IgG4 was significantly increased (2 930 mg/L).She was diagnosed as IgG4-related disease.The patient was treated with 80 mg intravenous methylprednisolone per day for three days,then prednisone 40 mg daily oral.Her dyspnea was significantly relieved.One month later,CT scan showed that the cervical tracheal stenosis was significantly improved.We identified 20 cases of IgG4-related disease involving the trachea and paratracheal soft tissue from databases,in which only 1 case was similar as this patient.The other 19 cases were of extratracheal involvement.Elevated serum IgG4 was detected in 11/12 patients.Most patients were treated with glucocorticoid,some combined with immunosuppressive agents and rituximab.The clinical outcome was good.Conclusion IgG4-related disease involving the trachea and paratracheal soft tissue is a rare condition.Serum IgG4 level and histopathology should be considered for diagnosis.Glucocorticoid is effective.
