The conception of evidence-based medicine (EMB) has a strong influence on the medical world since it built up.This concept has been widely used in all sorts of clinic and basic medical research,however,it is little reported to be practised in our fundamental medical education.As for it,this article will briefly analyze the importance of introducing the idea into fundamental medical education,and for one thing,suggest some more reform measures for medical teaching staff.

Objective: To construct the recombinant vaccinia virus of mutant N-ras/61 gene and enhance the immunogenecity of mutant N-ras／61 protein produced by the recombinant vaccinia virus. Methods: N-ras／61 gene was inserted into P1108 and transfected into CV-1 cell infected with vaccinia virus by Cell FECTIN. PCR and Western blot were used to identify the recombinants. Results: We get recombinant vaccinia virus rV-N-ras/61 by PCR and tk- selecting. The expression of N-ras gene was detected by Western blot. Conclusion: This study is a test for studing effective vaccine of mutant N-ras/61 gene. The efficacy in vivo of the N-ras／61 vaccine in immunotherapy is under investgation.

Objective To explore early diagnosis and treatment of congenital esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula.Methods Clinical data of 11 patients with congenital esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula were analyzed retrospectively.Definite diagnoses were made for all cases in 24 hours through making an esophagus opacification with acetrezoic acid or iodinated oil.And an esophagus anastomosis outside pleura was made.Some experience of diagnosis and therapy were summarized.Results All of the 11 cases underwent operation.Among them,9 cases were cured (81.8%),and 2 cases died(18.2%).Anastomosis stenosis of esophagus was found in 1 case after operation,which was cured through esophagus dilatation.Tracheoesophageal fistula was found in another case after operation and it was cured through combined treatment including anti-infection, nutritional support and sufficient draining.Conclusion Early diagnosis and surgical treatment, postoperative care,prevention and cure of complication are very important to improve the survival rate of the patients with congenital esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of nourishing Yin, strengthening Qi and activating blood decoction on Fas/FasL in salivary glands of NOD mice with Sjogren's syndrome and their mRNA expression.

METHODThirty-two NOD mice were randomly divided into the model group, the traditional Chinese medicine group (TCM group, orally given 0.4 mL nourishing Yin, strengthening Qi and activating blood decoction as per 100 g x kg(-1) everyday), the hydroxychloroquine group (given 0.4 mL hydroxychloroquine as per 60 mg x kg(-1) everyday), the traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine group (TCM WM group, given nourishing Yin, Strengthening Qi and activating blood decoction 50 g x kg(-1) and hydroxychloroquine 60 mg x kg(-1), 0.4 mL everyday), with eight mice in each group. Eight Balb/C mice were selected as the normal control group (normal group). All of mice were killed after eight weeks, and their submaxillary glands were dissected. The expression levels of Fas/FasL were examined by immunohistochemical method, and the FasL mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.

RESULTThe expression levels of Fas/FasL in salivary glands of the model group were higher than that of other groups (P < 0.05). The expression level of FasL of the normal group was much lower than that in the hydroxychloroquine group (P < 0.05). The relative expression level of Fas mRNA in salivary glands of the model group was higher than that in other groups, but the control group was notably lower than other groups (P < 0.05). The expression level of FasL mRNA in salivary glands of the model group was higher than that in TCM and TCM WM groups (P < 0.05). But the expression level in TCM WM group was notably lower than the hydroxychloroquine group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe nourishing Yin, strengthening Qi and activating blood decoction could down-regulate the expression level of Fas/FasL in salivary glands of NOD mice with Sjogren's syndrome and their mRNA expression, and had a better efficacy after being combined with hydroxychloroquine. The nourishing Yin, strengthening Qi and activating blood decoction might treat the Sjogren's Syndrome by reducing apoptosis which is regulated by Fas/FasL

BACKGROUNDThe order and mechanism of pathological changes in acetabular dysplasia are still unclear. This study investigated cartilage changes in rabbit acetabular dysplasia models at different ages.

METHODSTwenty-seven 1-month-old New Zealand rabbits underwent cast immobilization of the left hind limb in knee extension. Serial acetabular dysplasia models were established by assessment of the acetabular index and Sharp's angle on radiographs. The thickness of the acetabular cartilage was measured under a microscope, and fibrosis was observed. Ultrastructural changes were investigated with scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The messenger RNA expression of collagen I and II, β1 integrin, and caspase-9 were measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

RESULTSIn an immature group of rabbits, the acetabular index of the treated hip increased with animal growth. The cartilage on the brim of the left acetabulum was significantly thicker than that on the right side. The collagen fibrils on the surface of the cartilage became gross, and the chondrocytes in the enlargement layer underwent necrosis. In a mature group of rabbits, the left Sharp's angle increased in the rabbits with 6-week casting. The cartilage on the brim of the left acetabulum underwent fibrosis. The chondrocytes were weakly stained, and the number of lysosomes was much larger than normal. The messenger RNA expression of collagen I and II, β1 integrin, and caspase-9 in the cartilage differed significantly at different ages.

CONCLUSIONSIncreasing thickness followed by fibrosis may be the order of pathological cartilage changes in acetabular dysplasia, with changes in ultrastructure and collagen expression contributing to the process.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of high frequency jet ventilation via the nasopha?ryngeal catheter in assissting ventilation in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome ( OS?AHS) undergoing gastroscopy. Methods Eighty patients with OSAHS of both sexes, aged 40-64 yr, weighing 65-99 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, with an apnea?hy?popnea index 20-40 events∕h, scheduled for elective painless gastroscopy, were divided into control group and test group using a random number table, with 40 patients in each group. In control group, a nasopha?ryngeal catheter 6.0-7.0 mm in internal diameter was inserted, and oxygen was inhaled at 4 L∕min through the catheter. In test group, a nasopharyngeal catheter 4.0 mm in internal diameter was inserted, and a high frequency jet ventilator was connected ( inspiratory∕expiratory ratio 1. 0 ∶ 1. 5, frequency 150 bpm, peak pressure 0.4 kPa, tidal volume 180 ml) . Anesthesia was maintained with propofol in both groups. The oc?currence of hypoxemia during ventilation, and peak value of partial pressure of end?tidal CO2 before induc?tion of anesthesia and during ventilation, and occurrence of chin lift, mask ventilation, and epistaxis after insertion of the catheter during operation were recorded. Results Compared with control group, the inci?dence of hypoxemia, peak value of partial pressure of end?tidal CO2 during ventilation, and incidence of chin lift, mask ventilation and epistaxis during operation were significantly decreased in test group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion High frequency jet ventilation via the nasopharyngeal catheter can be safely and effec?tively used to assisst ventilation in patients with OSAHS undergoing gastroscopy.

To get the information about civil attitudes and main affecting factors of cadaver donation in Zhengzhou.Make stochastic visits to part of dwellers in Zhengzhou urban districts and then study the statistical data.The main affecting factors are traditional ideas and unsound legal system.So,in order to have a good effect,we should strengthen the dissemination of cadaver donation,renovate ideas,and strengthen relevant legislation for cadaver donation.
