Aim To study the effects of chronic morphine treatment on the contents of cAMP and cGMP in sympathetic ganglia,superior cervical ganglia(SCG) of rats.Methods The chronic morphine dependent model of rats was established by subcutaneous injection of morphine in gradually increasing doses for 5 days,the dependence and the tolerance of the model was estimated by naloxone precipitation test and 55℃ tail-flick trail test respectively.The contents of cAMP and cGMP in SCG were detected by means of 125I radioimmunoassay.Results ① Compared with control group,the content of cAMP in SCG of morphine-acute group rats was descended(P0.05;compared with morphine-acute,P0.05).Conclusion There was an up-regulation of cAMP in sympathetic ganglia of chronic morphine treated rats.

Aim To study effects of morphine tolerance and dependence on the fast excitatory synaptic transmission in sympathetic ganglia of rats.Methods The isolated sympathetic ganglia,superior cervical ganglia(SCG), were made from control and morphine tolerant and dependent rats respectively.Effects of morphine tolerance and dependence on the fast excitatory synaptic transmission in rat sympathetic ganglia were studied by means of intracellular recording technique.Results ① Morphine(0.1～1.0 mmol?L~(-1))reversibly inhibited the amplitude of the fast excitatory postsynaptic potentials(f-EPSPs) in SCG neurons of control rats.② Compared with control group,inhibitory effects of morphine(0.5 mmol?L~(-1) and 1.0 mmol?L~(-1)) on f-EPSPs in SCG neurons of morphine tolerant and dependent rats were obviously decreased;③ Naloxone(0.1 mmol?L~(-1)),which had no significantly effect on f-EPSPs in SCG neurons of control rats,could reversibly facilitate the amplitude of f-EPSPs in SCG neurons of morphine tolerant and dependent rats;④ No significant difference of RMP and Rm was founded between SCG neurons of control and morphine tolerant and dependent rats.Conclusion The morphine tolerant and dependent of the fast excitatory synaptic transmission in rat sympathetic ganglia has been formed in morphine tolerant and dependent rats.

Objective To learn the professional ability of rural doctors in our country ,to provide scientific reference for educa-tional reform of junior-college clinical medicine .Methods A self-made questionnaire was performed in 1 245 rural doctors from 86 rural grassroots health institutions in 7 provinces(municipalities) of our country .Results The rural doctors were familiar with working environment ,coordinated and communicated well with colleagues ,basic competence at work .But their clinical diagnosis-treatment technology and operational capability of medical equipments were not strong .The doctor-patient relationship was not so good .Conclusion Not the proper use of medical equipment and treatment technology of weak seriously affected the quality of serv-ice .Not ideal doctor-patient relationship influenced the service effect .It was suggested that college of clinical medical professional education should enhance the cultivation of students′clinical diagnosis technology ,basic operational skills and communication skills between doctors and patients .

Objective To understand the work tasks of rural doctors in our country and to provide bases for the reforms of clini‐cal medical education of junior colleges .Methods A self‐made questionnaire was performed in 1 245 rural doctors from 86 rural grassroots health institutions in 7 provinces/municipalies of our country .Results The academic levels of rural doctors were low (65 .54% )and the rates of their medical certification holding were low in western district(7 .79% ) .The work load including basic medical care and basic public health services they committed were approximately matching .The top 5 items of basic medical care were ,in proper sequence ,diagnoses and treatments of common diseases ,common symptoms ,chronic disease management ,communi‐ty rehabilitation ,community first aid .The top 5 items of basic public health services were establishment of residents′health files , maternal and child health ,health care of the aged ,immunization ,health education .Conclusion The technological levels of diagnosis and treatment and theoretical knowledge of rural doctors should be further improved .The clinical medical education of junior medi‐cal colleges must strengthen the training and cultivation of the students′abilities of basic public health services ,besides consolida‐ting the training of the abilities of practical diagnosis and treatment .

Objective: To learn law students' understanding of and demand for knowledge of forensic medicine,especially their attitude for autopsy and adjust the teaching reform in forensic medicine.Methods: Investigation was made by anonymous questionnaire in law undergraduates of 1999 and 2000 grades in Law College of Shantou University.Results: Almost all the students considered forensic medicine essential for themselves.The antitheist rate of the students in non-Chaoshan area(75.2%) was higher than that of the students in Chaoshan area(54.2%).57.4% of the students didn't want to join autopsy because of dread without obvious causes.93.3% of them thought that the autopsy should be taken by the legal medical experts.Conclusion: The law students prevalently enjoy the courses of forensic medicine,and they are more interested in the knowledge of forensic pathology.

Purpose To explore the correlation between fetal cardiac function and interventricular septal thickness in fetuses of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) mothers. Materials and Methods Thirty-nine GDM mothers were involved in the study and divided into group MH (fetuses of GDM mothers with interventricular septal hypertrophy) and group NMH (fetuses of GDM mothers with normal interventricular septal thickness). Ultrasonic cardiogram was performed for both groups to assess such variables as interventricular septum thickness at end diastole (IVSd), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular fraction shortening (LVFS), right ventricular fraction shortening (RVFS), the ratio of E and A of mitral flow (E/AMV), the ratio of E and A of tricuspid flow (E/ATV), peak velocity of aortic valve (VPAO), peak velocity of pulmonary valve (VPPA) and myocardial performance index (MPI). The results were further compared with those of control group. Results The VPAO, VPPA, LVEF and LVFS in group NMH were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). The VPAO, VPPA, LVEF, LVFS and RVFS in group MH were significantly higher than those in control group whilst the E/AMV and E/ATV significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The LVEF, LVFS and RVFS in group MH were significantly higher than those in group NMH whilst the E/AMV and E/ATV significantly lower (P<0.05). MPI in group MH was significantly higher than that in group NMH (P<0.05), whilst both were significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). The LVEF, LVFS, RVFS, VPAO and VPPA were positively correlated with IVSd (r=0.48, 0.51, 0.45, 0.30, 0.30;P<0.05). Conclusion Cardiac function in fetuses of GDM mothers may be associated with interventricular septal thickness.
