Objective Under the guidance of graduate education evaluation theory,to establish the comprehensive quality evaluation standard of medical graduate students and apply it in the research of the scholarship evaluation.Methods Byusing literature study,brainstorming,expert advice and other research methods,we established comprehensive quality assessment scale.In the work of graduate scholarship,the scale was used to carry out the evaluation work,and the application of the scale,the use value and the effect of moral evaluation were studied.Results A comprehensive quality assessment scale for medical graduate students,which included 4 dimensions of moral education,training process,scientific research and social activities was established so that the students' daily performance was quantified and evaluated,which,to a certain extent,eliminated the influence of the subjective judgment to the evaluation work,and had good guidance and practicality.Conclusion Establishing comprehensive quality quantitative evaluation mechanism of the graduate students and conducting the dynamic evaluation to graduates' moral education,their academic and social activities are conducive to stimulating the development of postgraduates' comprehensive quality and improving the quality of training.

Objective To explore the effects of lower esophageal leiomyoma on esophageal dynamics.Methods A total of 25 patients with lower esophageal leiomyoma,31 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and 16 healthy controls were selected.The differences of high resolution esophageal manometry results were compared among the groups.The t-test or one way analysis of variance was performed for normally distributed measurement data comparison.Rank sum test was used for non-normally distributed measurement data comparison.Results Among 25 patients with lower esophageal leiomyoma,14 patients accompanied with acid reflux,heartburn,chest pain or other GERD symptoms.In the group of patients with lower esophageal leiomyoma,the lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP),the lower esophageal sphincter relaxation rate (LESRR),low esophageal body pressure and peristaltic contraction percentage were (9.00 ± 6.30) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa),53.0 ％ (0,334.0％),(34.66±18.33) mmHg and 55.6％ (0,100.0％),respectively,which were lower than those of the healthy control group ((16.25 ± 3.71) mmHg,86.5％ (49.0％,103.0％),(57.75 ± 22.49) mmHg,100.0％ (80.0％,100.0％)),and the differences were statistically significant (t=-4.150,Z=-2.353,t=-3.601,Z=-3.798; all P＜0.05).However there were no significant differences in esophageal dynamics indexes between patients with lower esophageal leiomyoma accompanied GERD symptoms and without GERD symptoms (all P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in esophageal dynamics indexes between the GERD patients and patients with lower esophageal leiomyoma accompanied GERD symptoms (all P＞0.05).LESRR level of patients with lower esophageal leiomyoma (71.4％(45.5％,150.0％)) increased after endoscopic submcosal dissection (Z=-2.194,P=0.028).Conclusions Lower esophageal leiomyoma may affect esophageal motor function,which contributed to anti-reflux esophageal function decline.Lower esophageal leiomyoma combined with gastroesophageal reflux symptoms are not uncommon.

OBJECTIVETo assess the efficacy and safety of Wuji Powder (WP) and a small dose aripiprazole in treatment of antipsychotic drug-induced phlegm dampness type amenorrhea.

METHODSSeventy female schizophrenic patients with antipsychotic drug-induced galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome (GAS) were recruited and randomly assigned to the treatment group and the control group, 35 in each group. All patients received antipsychotic drug therapy. Patients in the treatment group additionally took WP, while those in the control group took aripiprazole (at the daily dose of 5 mg, once daily). The therapeutic course for all was 4 weeks. Prolactin levels and obesity indices[body weight, waist aircumstance, body mass index (BMI) and waist-hit ratio (WHR)] were determined before and after treatment. The efficacy was evaluated.

RESULTSThe treatment course was completed in 95.71% of patients. The total effective rate of the 33 patients of the treatment group was 93.94% (31/33), while it was 91.18% (31/34) in the 34 patients of the control group. There was no difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (P > 0.05). Prolactin levels in both group after treatment were significantly lower than those of the baseline (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in prolactin levels between the two groups after treatment (P > 0.05). Compared with before treatment, body weight, BMI, waist circumstance, and waist-hip ratio obviously decreased after treatment, showing significant difference when compared with the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in body weight, BMI, waist circumstance, and waist-hip ratio in the control group between before and after treatment (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSBoth WP and aripiprazole could lower high prolactin levels of schizophrenics with phlegm dampness type amenorrhea. They showed equivalent efficacy. But WP showed more obvious effect in reducing obesity indices.

OBJECTIVE To explore the risk factors of gas gangrene after open trauma for its early diagnosis and precaution.METHODS The data of 42 patients with gas gangrene after open trauma from Aug 2003 to Aug 2008,were collected.The risk factors of gas gangrene after open trauma had been retrospectively analyzed from the cause of the injuries,the distribution of latent period,wound,systemic symptoms,laboratory examination and treatment.RESULTS Gas gangrene after injury was related with open wounds for various reasons.Latent period of gas gangrene was 24-72 h.Early risk factors of gas gangrene among them mainly included degloved or avulsed skin-injury(100%),musce trauma(100.00%),contaminated wound and retained foreign bodies(95.24%),weak pulse of peripheral artery(95.24%),nervous injury(90.48%),and lower temperature of skin aound the wound(83.33%).There were obviously systemic symptoms in infective stage but in early stage were not.CONCLUSIONS Gas gangrene is extremely rare in injury patients but it is life-threatening.So more attention should be paid to the risk factors in order to decrease the incidence of gas gangrene after trauma.Improving the prognosis of patients;the wounded locations should be effectively treated early so as to improve the prognosis.

A two-step method for the purification of blocking-type anti-human CD80 monoclonal antibody 4E5 from mouse ascites was developed using anion exchange and gel filtration in combination. The ascites was first purified by anion exchange after centrifugation and filtration. The experimental parameters of sample loading and elution were optimized. The optimized loading condition was pH 8.0,50 mmol/L Tris-HCl and satisfactory results were obtained using a 0~0.5mol/L NaCl step elution. The fraction containing the protein of interest was directly loaded on gel filtration column and eluted using a 20 mmol/L phosphate buffer at pH 7.2. The purity of the obtained monoclonal antibody was up to 95% with a recovery of 61%. The purity of mAb could efficiently inhibit the growth of Daudi cells. The amplification of the method was also studied using a Bio-Scale Q5 column and the result was satisfied.

The anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) effects and its mechanisms of the ethanol extracts of Hypericum perforatum L. (EHP) in vitro were explored. HepG2 2.2.15 cells, a stable HBV-producing cell line, were cultured as the model system to observe the anti-HBV effect. The viral antigens of cellular secretion, HBsAg and HBeAg, were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The quantity of HBV-DNA released in the supernatant was assayed by real-time PCR. In order to understand the mechanisms of the suppression of HBV replication, all HBV promoters (Cp, Xp, S1p, S2p and Fp) with luciferase reporter gene were transfected into HepG2 cells respectively. Then the activities of viral promoters were examined by luciferase reporter assay. It was found EHP effectively suppressed the secretion of HBsAg and HBeAg from HepG2 2.2.15 cells in a dose-dependent manner, as well as the extracellular HBV DNA. And EHP could selectively inhibit the activity of HBV promoter Fp. Our data suggest that EHP exerts anti-HBV effects via inhibition of HBV transcription, which helps to elucidate the mechanism underlying the potential therapeutic value of EHP.

BackgroundDry eye is a multi-factorial-induced tear film and ocular surface disorder.Immunoinflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of dry eye.As inhibitor of the cyclo-oxygenase pathway,nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs play an anti-inflammatory and anti-hypersensitivity role,and it can be a potential treatment for dry eyes.ObjectiveThis study was to investigate the effectiveness of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (0.1％topical pranoprofen) on moderate to severe dry eyes and its mechanism.MethodsThis was a small sample of randomized controlled clinical trial.Thirty right eyes of 30 patients with moderate to severe dry eyes were included in the study according to the diagnosis criteria and randomized into two groups.The patients of the trial group received topical administration of 0.1％ pranoprofen plus 0.1％ sodium hyaluronate,and those of the control group received the topical 0.1％ sodium hyaluronate only.Ocular surface inflammation index scores (OSDI) and ocular surface fluorescine staining (OSS) scores were measured under the slit lamp,and tear film break-up time (BUT),Schirmer Ⅰ test values were evaluated.The expression of human leucocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR) and CD11b in conjunctiva epithelial cells were detected by impression cytology and flow cytometry (FCM).All the indexes were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Informed consent was obtained from all patients.ResultsThere were no significant differences in terms of age and gender and their baseline values between the trial group and control group (t=0.412,P=0.684;x2=0.240,P=0.624),and so were all the indexes (P＞0.05).Compared with the control group,the OSDI,OSS scores and cells positive for HLA-DR were lowered but the BUT was delayed in the trial group on day 15 ( t=2.43,P=0.03;t=2.83,P=0.01;t=3.29,P=0.00;t=3.23,P=0.00 ).No significant differences were found in the Schirmer Ⅰ test value and CD11b expression between these two groups (t=0.17,P=0.87;t=0.28,P=0.79).The OSDI,OSS scores and BUT were significantly improved,and the number of cells positive for HLA-DR were reduced 15 days after administration of drugs in comparison with before treatment in the trial group ( t =12.30,10.70,6.10,7.92,P =0.00 ).However,there were no comparable alteration seen in these indexes before and after the usage of drugs in the control group ( P＞0.05).Positive correlations were found in HLADR expression with OSDI and OSS ( r =0.601,P =0.018 ; r =0.586,P =0.022 ) and a negative correlation in HLADR expression with BUT (r=-0.697,P=0.004) on day 15 in the trial group.ConclusionsTopical usage of 0.1％ pranoprofen is beneficial for remitting the ocular signs and symptoms in moderate to severe dry eyes.This study illustrates that topical usage of 0.1％ pranoprofen can down-regulate the expression of inflammatory markers in conjunctival epithelial cells.

Abstract?AIM: To obtain the prevalence and risk factors of symptomatic dry eye disease ( SDED ) among college students in China.?METHODS:Population-based cross-sectional study. Students in Medical School of Lanzhou University were approached. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the prevalence of SDED and its risk factors. The diagnosis of SDED was based on reported symptoms and was established if the participants reported “often” or “all the time” once or more for 6-item questionnaire. Positive tests included a tear-film breakup time ( TBUT)≤10s and a fluorescein staining score ( FSS ) ≥1. Demographic information and possible factors that may contribute to SDED were analyzed in a step-wise multivariate logistic regression modelto assess risk factors of SDED.? RESULTS: There were 1139 participants ( 84. 37%response rate ) have completed the questionnaire, 475 males and 664 females aged 16-26y. The prevalence of SDED was 18. 70% [95% confidence interval ( CI)= 16. 59-20. 81]. A TBUT of ≤10s and a FSS≥1 were noted in 47. 67%(95% CI=44. 95-50. 57) and 13. 97%(95% CI=11. 95-15. 99) for all participants, respectively. The multivariate regression analysis revealed the following risk factors:daily reading time of≥4h(OR=1. 58,95% CI=1. 15-2. 18), daily computer use of≥4h ( OR= 1. 52, 95% CI= 1. 02-2. 25), and constant eyeglasses wearing (OR=1. 54,95%CI=1. 08-2. 13). The female gender, refractive surgery and contact lens ( CLs) wearing were not risk factors for SDED in this analysis.? CONCLUSION: The prevalence for SDED is high in Chinese college students. The risk factors include daily reading time of≥4h, daily computer use of≥4h and constant eyeglasses wearing.

Referring to the statistical model for the SNP haplotype phasing which was based on the allele frequencies and advised by Browning SR, we investigated and deduced the phasing method of STR haplotype with linkage disequilibrium inpaternity testing preliminarily. Haplotype phasing of two X-STRs in linkage disequilibrium were illustrated. This method provides an idea for the haplotype phasing of STR markers, which is helpful for interpreting the typing results of STR more scientifically and accurately.

Objective To detect the effect of hypoxia preconditioning on HIF-1α expression in the hippocampus of mice during acute and repeated hypoxia exposures. Methods Mice were randomly divided into 3 groups and were exposed to hypoxia for 4 runs ( H4 group) , 1 run ( H1 group) and 0 run ( control group). RT-PCR, Western blot and EMSA were used to examine the HIF-1α expression in the mouse hippocampus following exposure to hypoxia. Total mRNA,total protein and nuclear protein were extracted from the mouse hippocampus for RT-PCR, Western blot and EMSA respectively. Results HIF-1α mRNA levels were found to be increased in H1 and decreased in H4 (vs H1 ). HIF-1 α protein levels and HIF-1 DNA binding activities were increased in H1 and markedly increased in H4. Conclusion HIF-1 activation may be involved in the protection of the brain of hypoxia-preconditioned mice.
