Aiming at the cultivation of basic medical science talents, the paper introduced and summarized the background, characteristics and development trends (expand of the team, de-crease of the schooling and increase of the interdisciplinary course) of basic medical science major. Three cultivation models of this major in China were introduced and discussed in the article.

Objective To survey symptom occurrence degree of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients,and its related factors,and to provide a basis for clinical symptom management. Methods A total of 142 MHD patients were selected with convenience sampling method from a hospital in Ningxia from July 2015 to September 2015 and investigated with the Dialysis Symptom Index ,the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the family Adaptation,Partnership,Growth,Affection and Resolve(APGAR)Scale. Results The occurrence rate of various symptoms ranged from 53.5%to 92.3%. Fatigue(92.3%),itching(86.6%)and dry skin(85.9%)were the top three prevalent symptoms. Fatigue (30.3%),difficulty falling asleep (27.5%),hyposexuality (27.5%) and trouble in sleeping deeply(27.5%)were the most serious symptoms.Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that gender,nationality,sleep quality,combining with hypertension and arrhythmia had significant influence on the occurrence degree of symptom in MHD patients(P < 0.05). Conclusion Symptoms in MHD patients are preva-lent. Efficient symptom management should be performed to improve the quality of life of MHDpatients.

Objective To investigate the role of phosphatidyl-inositol 3-kinase-Akt (PI3k-Akt) signal pathway in the attenuation of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by sevoflurane preconditioning in isolated rat hearts. Methods Ninety-six adult male SD rats weighing 220-280 g were randomly divided into 6 groups ( n = 16 each): sham operation group (group S); I/R group; sevoflurane preconditioning group (group SP); wortmannin group (group W); dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group (group D) and sevoflurane preconditioning + wortmannin group (group SW) . Their hearts were excised and perfused in a Langendorff apparatus with K-H solution saturated with 95%O2-5%C02 at 37 ℃ . The hearts were continuously perfused for 180 min in group S. After 15 min of equilibration, the isolated hearts were subjected to 30 min of ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion in SP, W, D and SW groups. Croups SP, W, D and SW received 10 min of perfusion with K-H solution containing 2. 4% sevoflurane, 100 nmol/L wortmannin, 20 μmol/L DMSO, and 2.4% sevoflurane + 100 nmol/L wortmannin, respectively, followed by 5 min washout before I/R. Eight hearts in each group were selected and HR, left ventricular end-diabetic pressure (LVEDP), left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), and ± dp/dtmax were recorded at the end of equilibration and at 15 min of reperfusion, Myocardial tissues were obtained at 15 min of reperfusion for determination of apoptosis (by TUNEL) and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) expression (by Western blot) . Another 8 hearts were selected at 120 min of reperfusion for determination of myocardial infarct size by TTC staining. Result Compared with group S, LVDP and ± dp/dt,^ were significantly decreased and LVEDP was significantly increased in groups I/R, SP, W, D and SW, and myocardial p-Akt expression was up-regulated in groups I/R, SP and D ( P ＜ 0.05). Compared with group I/R, LVDP and ± dp/dtmax were significantly increased, LVEDP and apoptosis index were significantly decreased, myocardial p-Akt expression was up-regulated, and myocardial infarct size was significantly reduced in group SP (P ＜0.05) . Conclusion Activation of PI3K-Akt signal pathway is involved in the attenuation of I/R injury by sevoflurane reconditioning in isolated rat hearts.

Objective To evaluate the changes of cardiac function and myocardial perfusion by Gated 99Tcm-MIBI myocardial perfusion imaging after autologous mesenchymal stem cell implantation in patients with acute myocardial infarction at high altitude area.Methods 33 patients with anteroseptal myocardial infarction were ran- domly divided into two groups.18 patients (control group) underwent percutaneous tranluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and 14 cases (transplantation group) received additional mesenchymal stem cell transplantation.Myocardi- al perfusion imaging were performed in all patients before and at 6 and 12 months after treatment.Results Com- pared to pre-implantation,LVEF of transplantation group was improved 8%～9%after 6 months.The improving lev- els of control group were lower.However,there were not statistical differences among all data.Conclusion Mesen- chymal stem cell transplantation could improve myocardial systolic function and myocardial perfusion.

Objective To investigate and analyze clinical researchers' knowledge,attitude and practice (KAP) regarding ethical review and its correlation with KAP,which could provide foundation information for developing ethical review education programs for clinical researchers in future.Methods The random sampling method was used to stratify for different group by professional titles.Total 277 clinical researchers in a top class hospital in Beijing were investigated using self-developed questionnaire.The collected data was analyzed by SPSS software.Results The average scores of clinical researchers' knowledge,attitude and practice about ethical review are 69.05,80.86,and 67.80 respectively.The correlation coefficient of knowledge and attitudes is 0.222 (P＜0.05),the correlation coefficient of knowledge and practice is 0.544 (P＜0.05),and the correlation coefficient of practice and attitudes is 0.351 (P＜0.05).Conclusions Clinical researchers' knowledge about ethical review were at a relatively low level.And their practice about ethical review were not good enough.But their attitude towards learning ethical review was relatively good.It has suggested that more education and training programs on ethical review should be implemented for clinical investigators to improve their ethical literacy.

Objective To investigate and analyze the demands of ethical review knowledge training among clinical investigators and determinants,thus to discuss countermeasures to optimize the training pattern of ethical review knowledge training among clinical investigators and to provide scientific evidence and proposals for training management.Methods A total of 366 clinical investigators from third-class and first-grade general hospitals in Beijing were surveyed by questionnaires according to stratified random sampling method based on the professional titles,and the results were analyzed by SPSS 20.0.Results There existed training demands of ethical review knowledgeamong clinical investigators.For investigators with primary and intermediate titles,knowledge training about informed consent process,subject safety and rights protection,and principles of privacy security were highly needed.The training patterns researched were mainly short-term training and lectures organized by administrative department of the hospital.Most investigators expressed that the primary influence factor of training was lack of time and effort.Conclusions Based on the results of the survey,the demands of ethical review knowledge training are analyzed and countermeasures to optimize and enrich current training patterns are discussed,to improve the efficiency of training and the recognition and knowledge of ethical review among clinical investigators.
