Objective To observe absorption of exogenous nerve growth factor(NGF) between normal newborn rats and newborn rats with hypoxidosis.Methods Thirty-two healthy newborn rats(7 days of age) were divided into experiment group and normal group.Experiment rats were made into hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD) model.NGF labeled with()~(125)I or()~(125)I was injected into the rats abdominant.All of the rats were killed and brain was removed after 30 minutes.The brain was dissected into basal forebrain,forehead cortex,hippocampus,thalamus,cerebellum,smellorb,pituitary tissue samples were assayed for radioactivity in a two-channel gamma counter.Results Absorptions of two groups(()~(125)I-NGF) were significantly higher than those of()~(125)I in basal forebrain,cortex,hippocampus,cerebellum.Absorptions of hypoxic group were significantly higher than those of control group in cortex,hippocampus,cerebellum.Conclusions NGF can penertrate blood brain barrier of newborn rats into brain regions by means of peripheral administration.Early application of NGF for treating hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) is feasible.

Microglia(MG)is recognized as the main immune effector in central nervous system injury and disease.MG can regulate the tumorigenesis and development of brain metastases tumor(BMT)by different ways.Studing the roles and mechanisms of MG in BMT will provide new insights into the prevention and treatment of BMT.

Hypercholesterolemia and coronary heart disease caused by it have become the most important factors threatening human health. The lipid metabolism-related studies are increasingly receiving attention. Recent studies have demonstrated that proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), a family member of precursor protein-converting enzyme, plays an important role in the regulation of lipid metabolism. The expression and mutation of PCSK9 gene are closely correlated with the content of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). The excessive expression of PCSK9 promotes the degradation of LDLR, thereby increasing the levels of plasma LDL; whereas the inhibition of PCSK9 gene expression causes the decreased levels of plasma LDL. Therefore, it is promising to develop novel medications for treating hypercholesterolemia, controlling hyperlipermia and preventing coronary heart disease by studying the mechanism of PCSK9.

Recently,paclitaxel has been used as a new agent on patients with advanced esophageal cancer,and several studies have demonstrated that paclitaxel and paclitaxel-based regimens have significant activity in patients with advanced esophageal cancer and showed highly response rates than the combination of 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) and cisplatin.However,there have been some problems which need to be solved such as drug-resistance,side effect,and so forth.The new medicament form of paclitaxel can not only depress poison without anti-allergy but also raise medicament curative effect as well as the pharmacal concentration.Although most of the research on the new medicament form of paclitaxel are still limited in the stage of laboratory,it has possessed potential advance in the treatment of advanced esophageal cancer.

Objective To investigate and improve the methods of nasal feeding to reduce the occurrence of complication such as diarrhea and vomiting.Methods We separated 140 patients with heavy craniocerebral injury into the control group (50 patients) and the experimental group (90 patients) according to different nasal feeding methods. For the control group traditional method was used. For the experimental group infusion pump was used to control infusion rate. The incidence of complication was compared between two groups. And within experimental group, the same nutrient solutions in respect of type and volume were infused during 10 hours, 16 hours, and 18 hours respectively. The relationship between infusion rate and the occurrence of complication was observed, analyzed and compared to seek for the most suitable enteral nutrition route which incurred the least complication.Results The incidence of diarrhea and vomiting in the experimental group was lower than that of the control group. And there were no significant differences in the occurrence of complication by using infusion pump at three different infusion rates within the experimental group. Conclusions The application of infusion pump in nasal feeding can reduce the incidence of complication and infusing nutrient solution at a slow rate was not necessary.

Helical tomotherapy is the radiation treatment device that combined CT imaging with a linear accelerator, and capable of implementing 360-degree intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), MVCT image guidance, adaptive therapy, stereotactic radio-surgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation treatment (SBRT) etc. A very broad spectrum of tumor can be treated by helical tomotherapy.

Clinically, patients with IgA nephropathy often have symptoms of sore throat or discomfort in the pharynx, which needs to be paid attention to. Traditional Chinese Medicine has certain effect in the treatment of IgA nephropathy, starting from the pharynx.There are many commonly used herbal medicines that could relieve wind, clear heat, detoxify the body and relieve sore-thoat, such as platycodon grandiflorum, dandelion, burdock and other herbs, and pecking treatment could be added to increase the curative effect.

Objective To evaluate the teaching quality of AIDS and drug abuse and to provide evidences for teaching improvement.Methods Quantitative research and qualitative research was combined.Questionnaire including evaluation of curriculum,teachers and teaching quality was conducted among 273 students majored in anesthesiology and clinical medicine (2006 grade) as well as in forensic medicine,laboratory and stomatology (2008 grade) in quantitative research.Observation and indepth interview were used in qualitative research to observe the teaching process and receive students'feedback.Information about students' evaluation criterions and attitude toward teachers were collected by qualitative research.Chi-square test and descriptive statistic were used with SPSS 13.0.Results 90.8％ students thought this lesson was necessary and important and the contents were accepted by them.24.2％ students expected increasing study hours and having practice classes.Evaluation of course time,contents and importance were different by students of different majors.Average scores of students' evaluation on teachers' quality,teaching contents and teaching methods were 25.2,22.4,11.0,respectively.Three aspects of teaching methods got the lowest scores:vivid (2.71 points out of 3.0 points),interaction (2.71 points out of 3.0 points) and flexibility (2.72 out of 3.0 points).Interview results demonstrated that students have diversified demand for teaching methods and expect to increase practice lessons and multimedia teaching as well as to effective communicate between teaching and learning.Conclusions Course of AIDS and drug abuse is accepted by students.As a whole,students are basically satisfied with teachers,however,teachers and related sectors should pay more attention to teaching method improvement and teaching skill enhancement.

Objective To analyze the diagnose and treatment of drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) in children.MethodsThe clinical data from one case of highly suspected DIHS were retrospectively analyzed. The related literatures were reviewed.ResultsA 22-month-old male child with severe pneumonia, after treated with vancomycin, suffered with high fever and skin rash combined with hepatic lesion and hematological system disorder. After withdrawal of vancomycin and then treatment with the combination of high-dose methylprednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin, the clinical symptoms were gradually relieved in 24 hours. The child was improved and discharged on 17th day.ConclusionThe child has the characteristics of DIHS which is highly suspected to be caused by vancomycin.
