Objective To study the change of maternal serum human chorionic gonadotropin(MShCG) in preterm labor and the relationship between hCG and placental pathological changes. Metheds The preterm labor patients were chosen as the research subjects, the normal late-pregnancy women with the same gestational age were chosen as controls. MShCG level were measured by radioimmunoassy (RIA), placental tissue of preterm labor women was examined histologically. hCG in placental tissue was examined by semiquantiative immunohistochemistry. Results MShCG in preterm labor was significantly higher than that of control P

In the modern biotechnology era,the important disease genetic resources become the most dependent factor.We expound the actuality of the collection,storage and use of the important disease genetic resources in China,and discuss the problems and challenges we meet.So the chief mission we should do is establishing the database and collecting,storing and using these valuable resources under standard procedure with aim,plan and organization.

Objective To investigate the critical thinking ability of medical students and its related factors in order to provide evidence for higher medical education reform. Methods A total of 325 medical students were selected by cluster sampling method, and Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory-Chinese Version (CTDI-CV) was adopted for survery. Results The average total score of critical thinking ability of medical students was above 280, and 51.08% of students showed positive critical thinking ability. Among all the seven critical thinking dispositions, average scores of each item were all positive (>40) except that the significance of truth seeking (37.23) and systematicity (39.05) were indefinite. There were significant differences in critical thinking ability between medical students with different gender and academic years (P<0.05). Conclusion The critical thinking ability of medical students is positive, however, there still exist some shortages. An equal relationship between teachers and students should be established, the traditional course system be continuously reformed, a good environment for clinical training be created, and a variety of teaching methods be implemented to further strengthen the critical thinking ability of medical students.

Objective To determine whether specific angiotensin-conventing enzyme inhibitor with ramipril would affect ventricular arrhythmia generation in rabbits after myocardial infarction and discuss the mechanism of its antiarrhymic efficacy.MethodsTwenty-four New Zealand rabbits (Wuhan Laboratory Animal Research Center) were separated into 3 groups:sham-operated (SHAM) group (n =8 ),myocardial infraction (MI) group ( n =8) and myocardial infraction with ramipril (RAM) group ( n =8).SHAM group received a median sternotomy without left ventricular coronary artery ligation.MI and RAM groups' rabbits received a median sternotomy followed by left coronary artery ligation. The successful anterior MI was confirmed by elevation of the ST segment with more than 0.2 mV in lead Ⅱ and Ⅲ.After MI,RAM group rabbits were fed with ramipril [ 1mg/ ( kg · d) ]by intragastric administration for 12 weeks.Before and after MI 12 weeks in three groups.Ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation episodes and the monophasic actionpotential duration in epicardium,mid-myocardium and endocardium cadiocytes were recorded.The statistical technique was t-test and ANOVA.Results Ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation episodes were markedly decreased in RAM group than that in MI group after 12 weeks [ (2.6 ± 0.8) vs.(12.4 ± 2.9),P ＜0.05 ].After MI 12 weeks,the action potential duration of repolarization 90％ (APD90) of three-tier ventricular myocytes in MI group was prolonged than that before MI [ (258.2 ±21.1 ) vs.(230.1 ±23.2),( 278.0±23.8 ) vs.(245.8±25.4),(242.6±22.7) vs.(227.0±21.7),P＜0.05]; however,it was not significant difference between before and after MI 12w in RAM group (P ＞ 0.05 ).Moreover,the transmural dispersion of repolarization(TDR) was markedly increased after MI 12w in MI group than in SHAM and RAM group [ (36.2 ± 10.2 ) vs.( 18.7 ± 6.2 ),(24.9 ± 8.7 ),P ＜ 0.05 ]; but the TDR was not significant difference between RAM and SHAM group ( 18.7 ± 6.2 ) vs.( 24.9 ± 8.7 ),P ＞ 0.05].ConclusionsRamipril significantly reduced the malignant arrhythmia incidence in rabbits after MI.Mended the abnormal TDR was the mechanism for ramipril to therapy.
