What the medical book reviews focus are the academic contents and update information in medical books, and the popularization of update scientific achievements. The reviewed medical books must have the value for handing down scientific achievements and face the new problems and challenges encountered in the development of medical sciences. Medical book reviews are the booster for the accumulation and development of medical knowledge in medical college and university library. The book reviews written by medical experts were summarized,the experiences with the development of medical book review resources were described, and the advertising of network platform for book reviews was elaborated in our library.

The technique of double labelling with fluorescent tracers(FB-NY,PI-Bb)has.been used in the following three groups of experiments:1.in 5 rats,one fluorescenttracer was injected into the tibial nerve and the other was injected into the peronealnerve;2.in 14 rats,one fluorescent tracer was injected into the sural cutaneousnerve and the other was injected into the branches to the soleus and gastrocnemiusmuscles;3.in 13 rats,one tracer was injected into the tibial nerve and the otherinto the bladder wall.The sections of the L_(3-6),S_(1-3) dorsal root ganglion were stu-died with a olympus fluorescence microscope using UG-1 excitation filter system.In the first and second groups,double labelled neurons were observed in L_(4-6) dorsalroot ganglion.But in the third group,the double labelled neurons were found onlyin the L_6 segment.The type of the double labelled neurons was mainly small-sized(33.1%)and small-medium sized(40.9%).The findings indicated that,the primary afferent fibers branched towards theperiphery and supplied,with different branches,either two somatic areas or skinand deep structures,or,especially,visceral and somatic sensory fields.This resultsuggests that the peripheral dichotomization of these dorsal root ganglion cells mightconverge sensory inputs from the somatic(tibial nerve)and the visceral(bladderwall)fields and thus provides one of the structural basis for the referred pain andthe neuronal mechanism of acupunctural therapy by which stimulation of somaticstructures could regulate the activities of visceral organs.

ROS-mediated oxidative stress involved in a variety of cellular signal transduction, FOXO3a transcription factor is an intersection in regulating a variety of cellular oxidative stress. FoxO3a has been extensively studied in regulating oxidative stress because of its rather complex and pivotal regulation of cell proliferation, cell cycle arrest, ROS scavenging and apoptosis. This review will elucidate the FOXO3a’s regulatory mechanisms and describe the target genes involved. It will also provide the clinical significance and strategies to target FOXO3a to regulate oxidative stress.

Objective: In order to establish an effectively analytic method about the content of lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury and copper. Methods:According to the standard addition method, matrix modifiers (nickle nitrate and diammonium orthphosphate) were added to sample and the contents of Pb, As, Cd and Cu were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, reduce agent (acid tin bichloride was added to sample and the content of Hg was determined by cold vapour atomic absorption method. Results: The average recoveries of lead arsenic, cadmium, copper and mercury were Pb=97.5%, RSD = 2.75%; As=96.6%, RSD = 2.23%; Cd= 98.2% , RSD = 1.32% ;Cu=97.8%, RSD =1.19%;Hg= 98.8% , RSD = 1.85 , respectively. Conclusion: The method is sensible, accurate and reproducible. and applied for quality control of content of heavy metals in Qijidehuang Pills.

Objective To assess the displaying of the cystic artery and the cystic duct in calculus cholecystitis patients using MSCT.Methods One hundred and three patients with calculus cholecystitis (the experimental group)and 71 patients with non-gallbladder disease (the control group)performed the cystic artery and the cystic duct imaging using MSCT.The data in two groups were recorded and statistical analyzed.Results (1)The display rate of the cystic duct were 93.2% (96/103)in the experimental group and 100% (71/71)in the control group with the significant difference between the two groups (P <0.05).7 cases whose cystic ducts could not displayed in the experimental group were all the acute cholecystitis,and the display rate of the cystic duct in the acute cholecystitis was 77.4%(24/31).The display rate of the cystic artery were 100% in both the experimental and control group.(2)The variation rate of the cystic duct running were 10.4% (10/96)in the experimental group and 18.3% (13/71 )in the control group with no significant difference between the groups (P >0.05).The variation rate of the cystic artery running were 13.5% (13/96)in the experimental group and 1 5.5% (1 1/71)in the control group.There was no significant difference between the groups (P >0.05).Conclusion The cystic duct and the cystic artery could be evaluted well in calculus cholecystitis using CT.The displaying of the cystic duct is relatively poor in acute cholecystitis.

Objective To investigate the level of psychological capital of nursing administrative personnel and analyze its influencing factors.Methods A total of 302 nursing administrative personnel of Anhui Province were investigated with Chinese Version of Nurses Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ-24) and a self-designed question-naire about demographic information.Results The overall score of psychological capital was (106.23±10.67) points,and the dimension scores from high to low were selfefficacy (26.79±3.40) points,resilience (26.60±3.25) points,hope(26.56±3.55) points,and optimism(26.27±3.34) points.Multiple regression analysis showed that health?level and positions entered the regression equation,t=2.904,1.838,P＜0.05.Conclusions The overall nursing administrative personnel psychological capital is in the middle level,health level and positions were influencing factors of nurses psychological capital.It is suggested that the psychological capital should be introduced into nursing administrative field and take diversified measured to improve their psychological capital.

Adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) can improve the rate of loco-regional control for patients with gastric cancer (GC),while the selection of patients plays a key role.As the research moves along,several relatively comprehensive molecular classifications emerged such as the TCGA classification and the ACRG classification.Studies have demonstrated that molecular classifications are closely related to the clinicopathologic characteristics,prognosis and treatment response.However,there is not recognized molecular classification of GC presently.It is a great challenge for radiation oncologists to make use of the individual bioinformation and accurately select patients who would benefit from RT.Meanwhile,precision RT could also be achieved with the prediction of radiosensitivity,combination of RT with targeted therapy and the application of ctDNA within the field of RT.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo assess the upper airway and related structures in different patterns of the upper airway obstruction on cine magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).METHODSCMR images of upper airway were obtained in 30 male patients with severe OSAHS during waking state and natural sleep. The midsagittal plane images were obtained. Patients were classified into 3 groups based on the upper airway obstruction patterns at apnea events and the reference data of the upper airway were measured.RESULTSDuring natural sleep, the diameter of retropalatal region, retroglossal region, retroepiglottic region and the length of suprahyoid muscles were significantly shorter than those during waking state (P<0.01). The maximum angle between the suprahyoid muscles and the apex of the tongue during natural sleep was significantly larger than that during waking state (P<0.01). During wakefulness, there was a significantly difference in the diameter of retropalatal region among 3 obstruction patterns (P<0.01). During natural sleep, there were statistical difference in the diameter of retropalatal region and the upper tongue, the angle between the hard palate and soft palate, the maximum angle between the suprahyoid muscles and the apex of the tongue, and their change values among 3 obstruction patterns (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONThe measurements of the upper airway and related structures on CMR imaging in OSAHS patients could provide useful information in assessing upper airway.
