A questionnaire was used to survey the perspective of the 22 mentors,24 students, 27 graduate students and 27 public health units on the competence of MPH student. The result showed that the practice skill,analyzing skill,program plan and practice skill,and emergency reaction abil-ity got more attention. This suggested that to the training of MPH,the training objective should focus on the ability to resolve problems; the curriculum should focus on the characters of public health and on the practice training.

BACKGROUND:A new open“C”-shaped molar band with nanocoating (patent number:ZL201110057699.1) has been invented to overcome some weakness of traditional bands and buccal tubes, which is used for molar fixation. OBJECTIVE:Using three-dimension finite element analysis software to theoretical y prove that the new band comes up to clinic requirement. METHODS:We established a finite element model of alveolar bone-tooth-band, and node domains tensile and shear loading were given. Stress distribution of the new bands through numerical simulation was predicted and calculated. Simulation of 20 N orthodontic force was applied in medial direction, distal direction and vertical direction in the three-dimensional model of a new band buccal tube and traditional band, to analyze the stress state in different directions under the force of the binder. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:By numerical simulation of three-dimensional finite element, the stress of the new band was higher than that of the traditional band, but it could not reach the clinical cracking limit of resin reinforced glass ionomer cement. So the new band could theoretical y satisfy the clinical requirements.

Neuroblastoma(NB),the common extracranial solid tumor of childhood,is thought to derive from neural crest cells.In disialoganglioside (GD)2 is highly expressed on NB,whereas GD2 expression is weak and restricted to the central nervous system,peripheral pain fibers and skin melanocytes.Therefore,GD2 is an ideal antigen target for immunotherapy of NB.The research progress on GD2 as target for immunotherapy of NB was reviewed.

ObjectiveTo assess the values of 320-detector row dynamic volume CT angiography (CTA) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in follow up of coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) caused by Kawasaki disease (KD).Methods320-de-tector row CTA and TTE were applied in long-term follow-up of 8 patients with CAA caused by KD.ResultsIn 8 patients, the mean age at onset was 41.63±22.70 months and the mean follow up time was 43.50±10.99 months. In acute phase, 3 cases of giant coronary artery aneurysms (GCAA) and 5 cases of mid-small CAA were diagnosed by TTE. A total of 16/32 arteries (50%) were involved. At the end of follow-up, 3 cases of GCAA and 2 cases of mid-small CAA were still diagnosed by TTE, and small CAAs were regressed in another 3 cases. A total of 6/32 arteries (18.75%) were involved. Simultaneously at the end of follow-up, a total of 7/32 arteries (21.9%) were involved by 320-detector row CTA. The distribution was consistent with that of TTE. Mean-while, there were one case of left circumlfex artery, one case of GCAA at distal of the right coronary artery, 2 cases of thrombus, 1 case of coronary stenosis and 2 cases of calciifcation.ConclusionsCAA caused by KD may be persistent for a long time. The thrombus, stenosis, and calciifcation of coronary can occurr at late phase in GCAA. TTE is sensitive and reliable to detect proxi-mal and middle segment of coronary lesions, but has limitations in detection of distal segment of coronary arteries. 320-detector row CTA has more comprehensively view of each coronary artery lesions and is especially sensitive and reliable to detect coro-nary thrombosis, calciifcation and narrowing in proximal and distal coronary arteries after acute phase.

Objective To understand the distribution of pathogenic genes in uropathogenic Esche-richia coli (UPEC) from urinary specimen and to analyze the pathogenicity of UPEC and their mechanism of apoptosis to HeLa cells. Methods We have analyzed 6 pathogenic genes among the 28 strains of the clini-cally isolated E. coli from urinary tract infected patients. The 6 pathogenic genes were surveyed by using the PCR amplification of the target genes. The adhesion experiments and tryphan-blue staining was used to screen the phenotype of the pathogenic strains, while Annexin V/PI method was applied to study the strains to cause apoptosis of the HeLa cells, which was further confirmed with electronic microscopy. Results We have detected 6 strains that carried the usp gene. Phenotype screening identified two high virulent isolates (strain 6N and 27N) from the 6 strains. Strain 27N and 6N contained very similar virulence gene profile ex-cept that strain 27N did not contain usp gene. Both strains can destroy HeLa cell within 3 hours causing cell death. Results of apoptosis detected by flow cytometry revealed that strain 6N induced 20.75% of HeLa cells to an early stage apoptosis within 1.5 hours. On the other hand, strain 27N induced only 1.55% of HeLa cells to apeptosis. Conclusion High virulent UPEC strain carrying usp gene can induce HeLa cell rapid early apoptosis.

This study is to explore the effects of quercetin (QUE) on the 3 week-old mice ovarian development and relative hormone levels. The 3 week-old mice were exposed to QUE (45, 25, and 5 mg x kg(-1) x hd(-1)) by gavage for 50 days. The estrous cycle during 50 days and the changes of hormone level such as FSH, LH, etc were monitored. Moreover, the ovaries were removed after sacrifice. The organ index was measured, and the ratios of different stages of follicles were analyzed by HE staining. Furthermore, the proportion of PCNA positive cells during all stages was detected by immunohistochemistry. The results showed that QUE could increase body weight of mice and reduce the anogenital distance (AGD) to some extent, and was able to disrupt mice's estrous cycle, but it could not extend or reduce the cycle regularity. It increased ovarian organ index with a dose-dependent manner. The proportion of the primordial follicle and secondary follicles rose obviously, and that of mature follicles', atretic follicles' and corpus luteums' reduced, while primordial follicle had no change. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that QUE could effectively increase the percentage of proliferating cells in all kinds of follicles. Serum hormone assay showed that there were significant changes of FSH and LH levels. In summary, QUE showed an estrogen-like effect on mice's ovarian development. The weight of ovary, the proportion of all kinds of follicles, the development of ovarian cells and the level of plasma hormone in mice were altered obviously by oral administration of QUE.

Objective To explore the effect of glucocorticoid receptor(GR)expression in rat hippocampus on cognitive function after traumatic brain injury(TBI). Methods The TBI model wag established in rats.Then,immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the GR expression and evaluate its relation with cognitire dysfunction by Morris water maze. Results Expression of hippocampal GR was down-regulated 4-10 days after TBI.Morris water maze test showed significant impairment of the cognitive function in rats. Conclusion There is correlation between expression change of hippocampal GR and cognitive dysfunction.
