1.Vasovagal syncope and serotonergic system
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(2):145-148
The role of serotonergic system in vasovagal syncope (VVS) has been more concerned.Serotonin is a kind of neurotransmitter which is widely distributed in central nervous system.There are kinds of serotonergic receptors on postsynaptic membrane,among which 5-HT1A receptors participate in the mechanism of central blood pressure depression and promote the release of hormones such as prolactin and adrenocorticotrophic hormone.Acute administration of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) during head-up tilt test (HUT) blocks the reuptake of serotonin in the synapse space and thus increases stimulation of the serotonin receptors,which induces syncope episode.Long-term administration of SSRIs downregulates the postsynaptic serotonergic receptors,thus it weakens the reaction to the rapid change of serotonin concentration, which results in rapid depression of sympathic nerves and prevention of syncope episode.These demonstrate that central serotonergic system may participate in the pathogenesis of VVS and SSRIs are important for the diagnosis and treatment of VVS.
2.Importance and Effective Ways of Developing the Doctor-patient Communication Skills for the Oncology Medical Students
Chinese Medical Ethics 2015;(4):572-574
At present, oncology medical student in our country has many communication problems, such as communication awareness is not strong,the lack of communication,communication is not enough self-confidence and other issues.To improve the communication ability between doctors and patients for the oncology professional medical students:it is the necessary premise for correct implementation of diagnosis and treatment, an effective way to reduce medical disputes, adapt to the demand of the development of higher medical education.And pointed out the effective ways to improve the ability of doctor-patient communication:to set up the doctor-patient communi-cation and tumor department before the internship training course;establishlisten with your heart and professional guidancemode;with teacher actively guiding; learn to empathymode; adhere to the concept of taking pa-tients as the center.

Converting two poorly water-soluble crystalline drugs to co-amorphous drug systems by ball milling, quench-cooling, or cryo-milling method can improve stability of the drug, enhance dissolution rates, and reduce adverse reactions of the single drug. Co-amorphous system has been used to solve problems of co-administration of medicines. Formation and intermolecular interactions of co-amorphous drug systems may be verified by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), Raman spectroscopy (RS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Stability of co-amorphous drug systems is influenced by their glass transition temperature (Tg) and intermolecular interactions. The theoretical Tg values and the interaction parameter x are calculated by Gordon-Taylor equation and the Flory-Huggins equation, respectively. Thus, co-amorphous drug systems are analyzed theoretically at molecular level. Co-amorphous drug systems provide a new sight for the co-administration of medicines.

Objective To summarize our experience in choledochofiberscopic treatment for residual stones of biliary tract. Methods 1105 cases of residual stones of biliary tract diagnosed and treated with choledochofiberscope in the past 19 years were reviewed retrospectively. Results The 1067 patients with residual stones of bile duct were treated with choledochofiberscope for 1483 times altogether. The stones were completely removed in 1035 cases, while the stones were not cleared in other 32 cases. The clearance rate of residual stones was 97.0%(1035/1067). No patient died of choledochofiberscopic treatment. Conclusions Choledochofiberscopic treatment plays an important role in the treatment of residual stones of bile duct, because it not only reduces residual stones of bile duct to avoid repeated operation, but also has some advantages such as excellent safety, minimal invasion, low cost and quicker recovery.

From the aspects of the selections of the devices, the design of the shelter, the internal layout and the protection against X-ray, this paper mainly discusses the development of X-ray shelter in S950-100. A series of experiments show that this shelter can meet the requirements of the tactical and technological indexes and the medical service. This shelter also proves reliable and advanced.

ObjectiveTo determine the possibility of r eal-time perfusion imaging in the quantitative evaluation of myocardial perfusion in various segments of left ventricle. MethodsImages of ten anesthetized dogs were obtained at the mid-papillary muscle short-axis view with a real-time imaging system. Mechanical index (MI) was adjusted to 0.1 , 0.2 and 0.4 respectively, and frame rate was set at 20 Hz. Optison was infused intravenously at a rate of 0.1 , 0.2 and 0.5 ml/min, respectively. Images were recorded for 150 real-time frames commencing immediately after a couple of Doppler bursts. Myocardial opacification was assessed both visually and quantitatively for six segments of left ventricle (antero- and infero-septum, inferior, posterior, lateral and anterior wall). Myocardial signal intensity versus real-time frame curves were made and fitted to an exponential function: Y=A(1-e -?t ). ResultsUsing low MI (MI= 0.1 or 0.2 ) and with continuously infusion of Optison at a rate of 0.2 or 0.5 ml/min, real-time imaging resulted in sufficient myocardial opacification and left ventricular endocardial border definition, and displayed myocardial thickening and wall motion simultaneously. ConclusionsReal-time imaging has a potential in the quantitative assessment of myocardial perfusion, and allows simultaneous assessment of perfusion and myocardial function.
