Starting from the current situation and problems in bilingual teaching, this article probes into the difficulties in promoting bilingual teaching in undergraduate education and gives the view of "teacher is the base, student is the subject and teaching material is the carrier". Combining the experience of bilingual teaching in Pharmaceutical University of China, the authors give some beneficial suggestions in the policy guidance, teaching material construction, teaching performance and teachers training.

ObjectiveTo observe the subcutaneous and intraperitoneal insulin injection's effect of the level of oxygen free radicals of type 2 diabetes model.MethodsC57BL/6J mice were chosen as normal control group (C group,n=9).KK mice were randomly divided into intraperitoneal injection of insulin group (i.p.group,n=9),the subcutaneous insulin group (s.c.group,n=9) and untreated group (U group,n =9).The i.p.group and the s.c.groups were given certain amount of insulin (insulin injecta and protamine insulin injecta by volume ratio of 2:1 mixture)for one month,maintained the GLU at normal levels (6±1.5) mmol/L.SOD,GSH-PX activity and MDA content of serum,liver,kidney and heart in each group were detected.Results The liver,kidney,heart and serum's SOD and GSH-PX activity significantly reduced and MDA content significantly increased in the U group.Both kinds of delivery methods could increase serum SOD and GSH-PX activity and reduce the content of MDA to the normal control group level,but the intraperitoneal injection had stronger effect.Two kinds of delivery methods could both reduce the MDA content of liver,and had almost the same effect; but the subcutaneous injection group had better effect on increasing the liver's SOD activity,and the intraperitoneal injection had better effect on increasing liver's GSH-PX activity.Intraperitoneal injection had better effect on reducing kidney' s MDA content and increased SOD activity.Two kinds of delivery methods had the same effect on reducing the heart's MDA content.Conclusion The two delivery methods can both make the MDA levels of KK mice in serum,heart,liver and kidney fall to as normal as that of control group,but the two delivery methods have different ways of improving the antioxidant capacity in different organs.Intraperitoneal injection can reduce MDA content in serum and kidney better.

Objective To survey on knowledge of home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) in community physicians of Zhejiang province.Methods One hundred and thirty eight community physicians from Xiacheng District of Hangzhou Municipality were assigned in intervention group (n =70) or control group (n =68).The knowledge of home blood pressure monitoring was surveyed by using the China HBPM questionnaire in both groups.Results Total 132 valid questionnaires were returned,including 70 from intervention group and 62 from control group.The results showed that 80.0％ (61/70) physicians in intervention group and 62.9％ in control group frequently suggested hypertensive patients to have HBPM in out-patient clinics (P ＜ 0.05).Physicians who correctly instructed patients to use upper arm electronic sphygmomanometer,to measure blood pressure in morning and night,to repeat 2-3 times each time,to record result 3 times,and to take ≥ 135/85 mmHg(1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) as criteria of hypertension in intervention and control groups were 67.1％ (47/70) versus 32.3％ (20/62),5.7％ (39/70) versus 29.0％ (18/62),92.9％ (65/70)versus 66.7％ (40/62),38.6％ (27/70)versus 6.4％ (4/62)and 57.1％ (40/70) versus 38.7％ (24/62),respectively,and the differences between two groups were all statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).As for measuring frequency,92.9％ (65/70) physicians in intervention group and 67.7％ (42/62) in control group considered that blood pressure should be measured every day for poorly controlled patients ; 81.4％ (61/70) versus 14.5 ％ (9/62) considered that blood pressure should be measured every week for well-controlled patients; 87.1％ versus 35.5％ (22/62) considered that blood pressure should be measured every year at least for people with normal blood pressure; there were significantly differences between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The community physicians generally considered that HBPM can be used to improve the awareness of hypertension for patients and to increase the blood pressure control rate in community.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)is a common chronic disease characterized by excessive fat accumulation in hepatocytes in the absence of alcohol consumption.Modern trends towards excessive calorie intake and sedentary life styles have increased the prevalence of NAFLD accompanied by obesity and type 2 diabetes.However,the molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of NAFLD are not clear.Zinc finger proteins(ZFPs)are a superfamily of metalloproteins that contain zinc finger motifs.ZFPs play diverse physiological roles in tissue homeostasis and also contribute to many pathological conditions,including metabolic,cardiovascular,and neurodegenerative diseases and various types of cancer.In this review,we highlight our current knowledge of several ZFPs that play critical roles in the progression of NAFLD,describe their mechanistic functional networks,and discuss the potential for ZFPs as therapeutic targets for NAFLD.

Objective: To explore the gender related differences of clinical symptoms and triggering factors in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in China.
Methods: A population of 14 854 AMI patients with CAMI registration from 2013-01 to 2014-03 were studied, which included 10999 (74.0%) male and 3855 (26.0%) female. The gender related differences of clinical symptoms and triggering factors were analyzed in the population.
Results: The chest pain and severe sweating were the most common symptoms of AMI patient, there were 66.4%of patients with persistent chest pain and 63.7%of patients with severe sweating. Male patients were more with chest pain (67.8%vs 62.4%) and severe sweating (65.8%vs 58.0%) than female, while female patients were more with radiating pain (36.0%vs 31.0%) and nausea/vomiting (35.6%vs 25.0%) than male, all P<0.05. There were 19.4%of patients having clear cause of AMI, and physical stress was the most frequent trigger (48.5%) for AMI. Male patients usually had clear cause than female (20.9%vs 15.1%), especially because of physical stress (49.5%vs 44.5%) and excessive recent unhealthy lifestyles (15.4%vs 8.8%), all P<0.05.
Conclusion: Chest pain and severe sweating were the most common clinical symptoms for AMI patients in China, about 1/5 of them had triggering factors and it was more in male patients.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression and concentration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in middle ear cholesteatoma and discuss their relations. METHOD: Twenty-nine cases of middle ear cholesteatoma tissue, 18 cases of external auditory canal tissue were detected by limulus amebocyte lysate assay (LAL-assay), and expression of MMP-9 protein in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues was detected by immunohistochemical method. RESULT: The concentrations of LPS in cholesteatoma were higher than that in external auditory canal tissues. In group of cholesteatoma: M = 0.739 0, IQR = 0.6203, and in group of external auditory canal tissues: M = -0.2538, IQR = 1.1692 (P < 0.01). In cholesteatoma groups, in extensive type: M = 0.8403, IQR = 0.5254; in localized type: M = 0.4048, IQR = 0.6139, the concentrations of LPS were higher in extensive cholesteatoma in comparison with localized cholesteatoma (P < 00.05). In cholesteatoma epithelium samples, MMP-9 were 79.3%. Compared with external auditory canal epithelium, the expression of MMP-9 was higher in middle ear cholesteatoma epithelium (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression of MMP-9 between two types of cholesteatoma epithelium (P > 0.05). LPS, MMP-9 weren't significantly correlated by Spearman test. CONCLUSION LPS was responsible for middle ear cholesteatoma and its related bone erosion. MMP-9 was related to the development of middle ear cholesteatoma. There's no correlation between LPS and MMP-9.

Objective:To describe the trends of loss of muscle fiber thickness of the arm and calf.Methods:From April 2019 to July 2019, 58 patients admitted to ICU of Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled. During ICU stay, the muscle fiber thickness in bilateral upper arm (biceps brachii) and bilateral calf (gastrocephus muscle) were measured by bedside color ultrasound every day.Results:The muscle fiber thickness of biceps and gastrocnemius on the left and right were (1.52 ± 0.37), (1.50 ± 0.34), (1.53±0.39), (1.51 ± 0.37) mm, respectively. The thickness of muscle fibers were (1.45 ± 0.35), (1.46 ± 0.37), (1.44±0.33), (1.41 ± 0.32) mm, which were significantly decreased in 48 h admitted to ICU ( t values were 2.106-4.711, P<0.05 or 0.01); and (1.43 ± 0.36), (1.44 ± 0.36), (1.44±0.32), (1.39 ± 0.32) mm in 72 h, which were significantly decreased than 24 h admitted to ICU ( t values were2.029-4.504, P<0.05 or 0.01). During 1 week admission to ICU , the muscle fiber thickness showed a continuous trend of decline, and the muscle fiber thickness of the left biceps, right biceps, left gastrocnemius and right gastrocnemius decreased by 8.38% (0.13/1.55), 10.19% (0.16/1.57), 9.87% (0.15/1.52), 11.11% (0.17/1.53), respectively compared with the ICU admission. The muscle fiber thickness of the left biceps, right biceps, left gastrocnemius and right gastrocnemius decreased by 9.87% (0.15/1.52), 9.33% (0.14/1.50), 9.15% (0.14/1.53), 11.26% (0.17/1.51), respectively. Conclusion:Muscle attenuation can be observed within 48h after ICU entry, and it tends to decrease with the extension of the length of hospital stay.

Objective: To perform lymphocyte micronucleus analysis on radiation workers with long-term exposure to low doses ionizing radiation, Evaluate the health condition of radiation workers, and provide the evidence for strengthening surveillance of radiation workers. Methods: From January 1, 2013 to December 21, 2016, a statistical analysis and evaluation was conducted of the peripheral lymphocytes micronucleus rate in 5 901 radiation workers who had undergone medical examinations of employees at Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Institute of Radiation Medicine. Results: The micronucleus rates in radiation workers of the on-job group were higher than the pre-job group (P<0.01) . Significant difference was found among the different sex (t=5.97) , different types (χ²=378.69) , different levels of work units (χ²=115.48) . Significant difference was found among the micronucleus rates of 672 radiation workers of the on-job group from 2013 to 2016 (χ²=92.57, P<0.01) . Conclusion The peripheral lymphocytes micronucleus rate of radiation workers were significantly higher than non-contact workers. Significant increasing trend of micronucleus rates was noted among the radiation worker with increasing exposure time. The peripheral lymphocytes micronucleus rates of interventional therapy workers were highest. The peripheral lymphocytes micronucleus rates of Private hospitals workers were highest. This phenomenon deserves attention. Protection needs to be strengthened to ensure the health of radiation workers.

Objective:To investigate the effects of gambogenic acid(GNA)on the proliferation and apoptosis of CAL27 cell xenograft tumor in nude mice.Methods:18 SPF nude mice were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=6).All nude mice were inoculated with CAL27 cells at logarithmic growth stage to establish subcutaneous transplanted tumor models.The mice in low and high dose GNA groups were treated with GNA of 8.0 mg/kg iv.and 16.0 mg/kg iv.every other day,respectively,and those in the control group was given the same amount of normal saline.The tumor growth curve was plotted during drug administration.2 weeks later,the nude mice were sacrificed,the tumor tissue was removed and the tumor inhibition rate was evaluated by the tumor size measurements.TUNEL as-say was used to detect the apoptosis of transplanted tumor cells in the groups.The expression levels of AKT,Bcl-2 and PI3K proteins in tumor tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry(IHC).The toxicity and side effects of GNA on normal tissues were detected by HE staining.Results:The transplanted tumors in low and high dose GNA groups grew slowly,and the tumor weight and volume were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05),the tumor inhibition ratio of low and high dose groups was 57.58％and 83.68％respectively.TUNEL results showed that the apoptosis index of GNA low and high dose groups was higher that of control group(P＜0.05).IHC results showed that the expression of AKT,Bcl-2 and PI3K in the tumor tissues of nude mice in low and high dose GNA groups was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).HE results showed that GNA had not effect on normal tissues and or-gans(P＜0.05);Conclusion:GNA may induce CAL27 cell apoptosis by regulating the expression of AKT,Bcl-2 and PI3K,and in-hibites the development of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma with little effect on normal tissues and organs.

Objective:To investigate the early auditory discrimination of vowels, consonants and lexical tones in prelingually-deafened children with cochlear implants (CI) using auditory event-related potentials.Methods:Nineteen prelingually-deafened CI children and 19 normal hearing (NH) children were recruited in this study. A multi-deviant oddball paradigm was constructed using the monosyllable/ta1/as the standard stimulus and monosyllables/tu1/,/te1/, /da1/,/ra1/,/ta4/and/ta2/as the deviant stimuli. The event-related potentials evoked by vowel, consonant and lexical tone contrasts were recorded and analyzed in the two groups.Results:NH children showed robust mismatch negativities (MMNs) to vowel, consonant and lexical tone contrasts ( P<0.05), whereas CI children only showed positive mismatch responses (pMMRs) and P3a responses to the vowel ( P<0.05) and consonant contrasts ( P<0.05) and no significant event-related potential to the lexical tone contrasts ( P>0.05). The longer pMMR and P3a peak latencies ( P<0.01) but similar amplitudes ( P>0.05) were found in CI children than in NH children. CI children showed weaker phase synchronization of θ oscillations than NH children ( P<0.05). The duration of CI use was positively correlated with the scores of Categories of Auditory Performance (CAP) ( P=0.004), Speech Intelligibility Rate (SIR) ( P=0.044) and Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (MAIS) ( P=0.001) in CI children. Conclusions:Prelingually-deafened CI children can process vowels and consonants at an early stage. However, their ability of processing speech, especially lexical tones, is still more immature compared with their NH peers. The event-related potentials could be objective electrophysiological indicators reflecting the maturity of CI children′s auditory speech functions. Long-term CI use is beneficial for prelingually-deafened children to improve auditory and speech performance.
