1.Cultivation of medical English majors' translation competence under the framework of eco-translatology
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2014;(3):294-297
The accelerating pace of exchanges and cooperation in medical field between China and foreign countries demands a large number of medical papers, medical-related materials to be ac-curately translated into multiple languages , especially between English and Chinese . Oriented at English majors (medicine directed), based on eco-translatory approach and student-centered teaching method by creating simulations of the medical English ecological translation environment, this paper provided a better and effective practice-based teaching idea, which can promote students' medical English translation competence and strategies, even cultural consciousness and pragmatic ability in a comprehensive manner.
2.The relationship of gap junction with the bystander effect in the HSV-TK/GCV treatment
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(01):-
The bystander effect(BE) plays an important role in the gene therapy of cancer by the herpes thymidine kinase/ganciclovir(HSV-TK/GCV) system.It enhances the therapeutic efficacy of this system.Up to now,the exact underlying mechanism of the bystander effect remains unclear.A large body of evidence has indicated a close correlation of the connexin expression and gap junction in the targeted cells to the bystander effect.Here the publications concerning the relationship of gap junction with the bystander effect in the HSV-TK/GCV treatment have been reviewed.The possible cell death signals that can be transferred through gap junction to induce the bystander effect are also discussed.

Objective To compare the differences of atria and atrial myocyte structure in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and sinus rhythm(SR) .To evaluate the influence of AF on cardiac function .Methods 79 patients without heart failure undergoing car-diopulmonary bypass surgery were divided into the AF group (n=39) and the SR group(n=40) .Echocardiography was performed for analysis of left ventricular end diastolic dimension(LVDd) ,left ventricular end-systolic dimension(LVDs) ,left ventricular poste-rior wall(LVPW) ,interventricular septum(IVS) and left atrial diameter(LAD) .Part of left atrial appendages was taken freshly for HE staining in order to observe atrial tissue structure .Results LVDd ,LVDs ,LVPW and IVS of the AF group were lower than that of the SR group .But LAD of the AF group was higher than the SR group .There was statistical significance in IVS and LAD between the two groups(P<0 .05) ,and there were no significant differences in other aspects (P>0 .05) .Compared with the SR group ,the AF group had thinner myocardial atrophy ,more obvious fibrosis ,smaller nucleus and darker HE staining .Conclusion The incidence of AF was mainly in rheumatic heart disease .The development of AF was mostly accompanied with the enlargement of LAD and the change of atrial tissue structure which showed that AF can reduce cardiac function .

A new, convenient, and rapid method for kinetic measurement of human fibrinolysis was established. The alteration of absorbance (A) in the process of blood coagulation and lyses was automatically scanned and recorded using a UV2000 spectrophotometer connected to a computer. The parameters of human fibrinolysis kinetics were established. Urokinase at 20 U/mL was the optimal concentration used. There was significant difference in fibrinolysis kinetics and plasma plasminogen concentration between 22 normal subjects and 27 patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia (P<0.05 and <0.01 respectively). The coefficience of variation was (5.24+/-1.51)%. This method could also be used to measure the plasma fibrinogen concentration at the same time. It was concluded that this method was stable and was capable of providing dynamic, direct experimental data and multiparemeters for clinicians. It was also valuable in evaluating the anti-and pro-fibrinolytic capcity of patients' plasmas, allowing for monitoring of therapy, choice of drugs and adjustment of drug concentrations.

Objective To assess the effect of EDFS40 on the structure and vasomotoricity of rabbit carotids in cryopreservation. Methods The fresh carotids, taken from rabbits under aseptic conditions, were preserved for 14 days in liquid nitrogen by vitrification or slow freezing method with both fresh and thawed carotids were observed by visual examination, optical and electron microscopes, respectively. Their endothelium-independent vasoconstriction and vasodilatation were detected in organ bath. Results The morphological changes of the EDFS40-vitrified arteries were similar to those of the fresh carotids under macrography, optical and electron microscopes. And there was no obvious difference in contraction to KCl between the cryopreservation group and the slow-freezing group (P>0.05). The contractile and relaxant responses of vitrified arteries to NE or SNP were significantly better than those of the frozen arteries (P<0.05); both, however, were still inferior to the vasomotoricity of the fresh arteries (P<0.05). Conclusion The rabbit carotids vitrified with EDFS40 can have their structure and vasomotor function maintained without obvious damage, which may indicate the usage of EDFS40 in vitrification of blood vessels.

Objective To explore the clinical value of transvaginal four-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (TVS 4D-HyCoSy)in evaluation of the patency of fallopian tubes. Methods Totally 53 patients underwent SonoVue TVS4D-HyCoSy to observe the tubal patency. Results Among the 106 tubes in 53 patients, TVS 4D-HyCoSy showed 47 unobstructed tubes, 23 obstructed tubes, and 36 partially passable tubes. In unobstructed cases, the fallopian tubes were smooth and regular in morphology, and contrast agents flowed into and dispersed over pelvic cavity rapidly and evenly. In the cases of partially passable tube, fallopian tubes were discontinuous and irregular in morphology, and contrast agents lfowed into and dispersed over pelvic cavity slowly and unevenly. In obstructed cases, there were no or little contrast agents into the fallopian tubes. Compared with the results of laparoscopy, the diagnostic accuracy of TVS 4D-HyCoSy was 94.4%(17/18). Conclusions TVS 4D-HyCoSy is a useful tool in demonstrating the morphological features of fallopian tube, diagnosing intrauterinc adhesion and lesion and assessing the tubal patency.

Objective To compare the efficacy of alfentanil and remifentanil in minimizing the propofol injection pain. Methods A total of 175 adult female patients undergoing gynecological procedures with general anesthesia were randomly divided into four groups.Patients received alfentanil 1mg(2 mL,AL group,n=43),remifentanil 0.01 mg(2 mL,REM1 group,n=43),remifentanil 0.02 mg(2 mL,REM2 group,n=45) or normal saline(2 mL,control group,n=44) 30 seconds prior to propofol administration.Visual analogue scale(VAS) was employed to evaluate the subjective feelings of pain due to propofol injection,and adverse effects were recorded. Results One patient in REM2 group and one patient in control group were excluded due to difficulty in venous catheterization.The injection pain in AL group,REM1 group and REM2 group was significantly less severe than that in control group(P
