Objective Toanalyze and evaluate the value ofthe method ofmedical simulation technique combined with PBL pattern in the training before clinical practice. Methods 80 students were divided into two groups:the experimental group and the control group. The PBL method was used in the experimental group,while the control group was taught by traditional method. Results The students in experimental group had a significant higher score than those in control group. Conclu-sion It means that the method of medical simulation combined with PBL teaching is an effective leaning method and should be widely used in the training before clinical practice.

MicroRNA are endogenous non-coding small RNA composed of approximately 18 - 23 nucleotides, mainly participating in post-transcription gene regulation. More and more data show that miR-21 is over-expressed in many human cancer cells and it was involved in cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis, closely related to tumorigenesis and the development of carcinoma as oncogene. Here, we will make a review about miR-21' s target gene, biosynthesis and regulation and clinical significance in order to provide a valued data for the future study and clinical application.

Asthma was considered to be a kind of chronic airway inflammatory diseases mediated by eosinophils(EOS),mast cells,T lymphocytes for a long time,and the typical pathologic features of asthma was airway EOS inflammation.The current study had found out that elevated neutrophils in airway were seen in severe asthma,and this kind of asthma had a poor response to corticosteroids.Impaired neutrophil chemotaxis and apoptosis of airway neutrophilia may be associated with persistent neutrophilic inflammation in the airways of severe asthma.A deep research into the mechanisms of neutrophilic phenotypes asthma would contribute to the new strategy of therapy.This article discusses a range of topics related to the role of neutrophilic inflammation in severe asthma in children,which were organizedas follows.

Obesity has been a world-wide growing health problem in children and adolescents,insulin resistance plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of obesity-associated complications,the mechanism is still unknown.There is growing evidence that obesity is associated with low-grade inflammation in youth.The onset of low-grade inflammation in obesity may be associated with the inflammatory cytokine secreted by adipose tissue,local Monocyte/Macrophage system and role of oxidative stress.The study of inflammatory cytokines in pathogenesis of obesity and insulin resistance will help to develop new treatment strategies to prevent obesity and obesity-associated complications.

OBJECTIVE: To establish miniSTR fluorescent detection system with all detected fragments below 150 bp and to enhance the efficiency of detecting the degraded DNA samples. METHODS: All candidate primers were designed by Primer Premier 5 and screened by FastPCR 6.0. The miniSTR multiplex system was established by these selected loci labeling by four fluorescent dye. The parameters of PCR and primer concentrations were subsequently optimized. The electrophoresis was fulfilled under POP4 on 3100-Avant and the typing data was validated by standard DNA 9947A and 007. Fresh blood samples and difficult degraded DNA samples were tested to evaluate the usefulness of the system. RESULTS: All amplicons in the established miniSTR fluorescent detection system (D12ATA63, D2S1776, D1GATA113, D4S2408, D17S974, D20S482, D3S3053, Amelogenin, D6S474, D9S1122) were less than 150bp. The profile showed a balanced peak height without extra stutter by optimal protocol. Allele frequencies showed no deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The system showed accumulated probability of discrimination 0.999 999 983 and accumulated triplet excluding probability of paternity 0.996 8. It could detect corrupt muscle tissue, low copy number DNA samples and human tissues fixed by 40% formaldehyde solution for 12 days. CONCLUSION The miniSTR fluorescent detection system could be solely used for personal identification of degraded DNA samples or complementally used for paternity tests. And the system could enhance the ability of detecting the trace and degraded DNA.

Objective To explore the effects of chlamydia and mycoplasma infections on the healing of wounds after surgical operation for haemorrhoids,fistula and anoschisis.Methods Sixty-two patients with haemorrhoids,fistula and anoschisis undergoing the surgical operation during 2000.1 to 2008.10 were collected,and wounds did not heal 40 days after operation and the wound's surface infection occurred after postoperative anti-inflammatory therapy and dressing change.All patients were positive at least for laboratory Ct or Uu,and those with infections caused by other fungi,bacteria,viruses and the other systemic diseases were excluded.The correlation between the infections in 62 cases and sex,surgical types was analyzed.Results In 62 patients,there were 30 cases (48.4%) positive for both Ct and Uu,22 cases for single Ct (35.5%),and 10 cases for single Uu (16.1%),respectively.The infection rate in females was higher than in males (P<0.01).The surgical types included:surgery for 8 cases of haemorrhoids (12.9%),for 18 cases of fistula(29.0%),and for 36 cases of anoschisis(58.1%).respectively.Conclusion There is the possibility of chlamydia and mycoplasma infections in the patients with delayed healing of wounds following the surgical treatment on the anal region.Early diagnosis,early treatment,avoidance of ineffective medicines and repeatedly management of the wounds can shorten the healing period.

Objective To detection the carrying situation of Clostridium difficile toxin gene A/B in stool specimens of the pa-tients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and persons undergoing physical examination and to research the relationship between Clostridium difficile toxin gene carrying and UC.Methods The stool specimens were collected from 53 cases of UC(32 cases of active stage and 21 cases of resting stage) and 45 persons undergoing physical examination.Total DNA was extracted from stool specimens.The Clostridium difficile toxin gene cdtA and cdtB were detected by real-time PCR ,then the PCR products were amplified and performed the agarose gel electrophoresis and gene sequencing for conducting the amplification products verification.Results 7 cases of cdtA and 4 cases of cdtB were checked out in the UC group ,in which 5 cases of cdtA and 2 cases of cdtB were in the UC active stage group ,2 cases of cdtA and 2 cases of cdtB were in the UC resting stage group.In the healthy control group ,5 cases of cdtA and 2 cases of cdtB were checked out.The detection rate of cdtA and cdtB had no statistically significant difference between the UC group and healthy control group(P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between UC active group and inactive group (P>0.05).Conclusion There is no appearant correlation between the carrying situation of cdtA and cdtB in stool with UC onset and UC stage.
