The clinical probation is an important part of medical education, which is also a bridge from theoretical learning to clinic practice. To improve the quality of clinical probation teaching of hematology department, multiple teaching activities have been carried out, including full preparation before teaching, creating better medical environment, arousing enthusiasm, tralning the physician-patient communication ability and strengthening operating skill of the students. Good study effect has been achieved.

To discuss the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), we summarized the mechanisms of treating AD animal models by acupuncture from literatures in recent years as follows. Senile dementia rats' cognitive capabilities and memory could be improved by reduction of beta-amyloid protein, attenuation of excessive phosphorylation of tau protein, regulation of center neurotransmitter dysmetabolism, oxidation of anti-free radicals, reduction of neuron apoptosis in the cortex and the hippocampus, inhibition of glial cells' differentiation, adjustment of G protein signaling transduction, and improvement of the mitochondrial dysfunction, thus providing experimental evidence for treating AD by acupuncture.

Dry eye is one of the most frequently ocular surface diseases. Recent researches found that many reasons caused decrease of ocular surface damage and the quality of tears , such as the change of ocular surface, immuno-inflammatory responses, apoptosis and the reduction of sex hormone. It is reported that the decline of ovarian function and hormone level in postmenopausal women which leads to abnormal structure and function of tear film is more likely to develop dry eye. In this paper, the ocular surface, pathogenesis and progresses of treatment on postmenopausal women with dry eye are reviewed.

Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is an emerging tool for detecting microorganisms. It can be used not only for rapid identification of microorganisms, but also for the research of resistance mechanisms. Producing β-lactamase is the main mechanism for resistance of β-lactam antibiotics in Gram-negative bacilli. Currently using MALDI-TOF MS for rapid detection of bacterialβ-lactamase has been widely reported, including detection of β-lactam hydrolysis activity of β-lactamase, direct detection of β-lactamase molecule, peptide and relevant proteins, and detection of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of β-lactamase gene. This paper reviews current application of MALDI-TOF MS to the detection of β-lactamase based on the latest research findings.

After the advantages of PACS system in medical imaging examination were described, its rational appli-cation in medical imaging examination was elaborated .

Objective To determine the dynamic changes of plasma endothelin (ET), calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) and atial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction and explore the pathological role of ET, CGRP and ANP in the development of acute cerebral infarction.Methods The concentrations of ET, CGRP and ANP in plasma were determined with radioimmunoassay in 78 elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction and 60 normal controls.Results (1)The levels of ET and ANP in patient group were significantly higher than those in control group ( P3 cm) and small area infarct group (1.5～3.0 cm) were significantly higher (all P

Objective To investigate the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS)on the recovery of neurological function and the expression of neurofilament protein(NFP)-200 in rats with cerebral infarction.Methods The string-fastening method was used to establish focal ischemia-reperfusion models in 60 Sprague-Dawley rats and the rats were divided into the TMS group and the sham TMS group(composed of 30 rats each).Then each group were divided into the treated 1 d,3 d,7 d,14 d and 21 d subgroups(composed of 6 rats each).TMS group rats were administered with 2 sessions of TMS(200 pulses total)daily,keeping on corresponding days in different groups.The recovery of neurological function and the optical density of NFP-200 by immunohistochemistry in the infarct peripheral zone in two groups were detected after therapy.Results At the 14 d and 21 d after treatment,neurological deficit scores of TMS group(2.67?0.82,1.50?0.55) were significantly lower than those of the sham TMS group(3.67?0.52,3.17?0.75)(P

Objective To explore the application of ROC curve analysis in evaluating the virtual screening of ?-secretase (BACE-1) inhibitors.Methods Virtual screening were performed for BACE-1 inhibitors using different scoring functions (Surflex-score,D-score,G-score,PMF-score,ChemScore),the screening library was composed of 50 BACE-1 inhibitors and 9 950 inactive compounds.Five scoring functions were used for ranking,and application of ROC curve analysis in evaluating the results of ranking.Results Using D-score to rank the database,the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.935.If specificity was considered primarily,more active compound were obtained by Surflex-score;if sensitivity was considered primarily,more active compounds were obtained by D-score.Conclusions ROC curve consists of sensitivity and specificity together,it can be used to set the right threshold after virtual screening to obtain active compounds as many as possible.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of 153 Sm-EDTMP treatment on pain palliation in the patients with bone metastasis of lung cancer, breast cancer or prostate cancer. Methods 166 patients with bone metastasis of cancers were intravenously injected 18.5～37 MBq/kg (0.5～1.0 mCi/kg ) body weight of 153 Sm-EDTMP, once a month or two months. Results The effective rate of pain palliation of 153 Sm-EDTMP treating bone metastasis of lung cancer, preast cancer and prostate cancer were 68.5%, 89.3% and 100%, respectively. The efficacious rate of pain palliation in breast and prostate cancers was significantly higher than that in lung cancer (P

Objectives To study the clinical and pathological features of patients with ANCA-negative pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis.Methods ANCA was detected and the clinical and pathological features were analyzed in 33 patients with pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis.Results Of the 33 patients with pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis, 15(45%) were ANCA negative, which accounted for 15% of the patients with crescentic glomerulonephritis. Of the 15 patients with negative ANCA,9 had multi-system involvement and 6 were clinically limited to kidney only. Renal biopsies showed small vessel vasculitis in 2 patients. After intensive immunosuppressive therapy, one out of thirteen patients was cured,six achieved clinical remission,while the other 6 became dialysis dependent.Conclusions The clinical and pathological features of the patients with ANCA-negative pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis are similar to those with ANCA-positive,while the ages of these patients are younger and the prognosis poorer.
