Starting from the transformation of the management models of foreign affairs,we introduced the achievements made through expanding the functions of foreign affairs at a military medical university in terms of academic exchanges,research collaboration,and training of young intellectuals,which resulted in the improvement of scientific and technological strength.Further expansion of foreign affair functions was then discussed in aspects of establishing institutional mechanisms,improving the service platform and building a team of qualified foreign affair administrators.

Objective To compare the postoperative changes in immune function of patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy(RLC) and conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy(CLC).Methods The clinical data of 52 cases of gallbladder stones and gallbladder polyps treated with RLC(23 cases),and with LC(29 cases) was compared.Blood samples from both groups were taken to measure immune markers(T cells,IgA,IgM,IgG,C3,C4) before operation and in the first postoperative morning.Results The postoperative levels of CD4/CD8 and IgM decreased from 1.56?0.67,1.42 ?0.58 to 1.30?0.53,1.26?0.46 respectively after RLC(all P0.05).Conclusions RLC and CLC showed no significant postoperative effect on cellular immune function,but both had some effect on humoral immune function.

Objective To perform an anatomical study on anterior approach to fractures of the pelvis and acetabulum in an attempt to testify feasibility of the approach.Methods Position and variation of anatomical structure of the hypogastric abdominal wall and pelvic cavity were observed in 10 cadaveric adults (20 sides).Based on the anatomical study,anterior approach to pelvic fractures (n =20)and acetabular fractures (n =15) were performed and clinical results were observed.Results Anterior pelvic incision revealed no splitting or exposure of the spermatic cord/round ligament of uterus.Vertical incision through the muscle layer of abdominal wall located at lateral rectus abdominis and medial initial segment of hypogastric arteries/veins.In clinical practice,the approach revealed the mean incision length of 10 cm (range,9-12 cm) and mean blood loss of (225.5 ± 30.5) ml (range,170-350 ml).No injuries to femoral nerve and sciatic nerve occurred and there was no deep vein thrombosis.Surgical incision healed primarily.Bone union were recorded at the 18-month follow-up (11-35 months).Conclusions Anterior pelvic approach stretches the operative field from pubic symphysis to anterior-lateral cacroiliac joint and quadrilateral surface,allowing full exposure of the fracture site.The approach has benefits of high safety,minor trauma,large exposure,and satisfactory results and hence deserves wide application in clinical settings.

Electroencephalography (EEG) is an important instrument for the evaluation of brain function, and an irreplaceable diagnostic technique for nervous system diseases. At present, China still lacks professional child-EEG talents. Therefore, it is a task of great priority to establish an effective and practical training method and foster more child-EEG physicians. As most trainees have not learned EEG before and only have limited time for learning, we divide the child-EEG training into three phases, includ-ing theory learning, practice training, and EEG reading and interpretation on the basis of the general rules in learning EEG. In the theory learning phase, basic EEG knowledge is taught comprehensively to form a solid foundation for future study. In practice training phase, the trainees acquire important skills of EEG by carrying out complete EEG monitoring, eliminating EEG artifacts, observing seizures, and read real-time EEG. In the phase of EEG reading and interpretation, the trainees learn to analyze EEG gradually by read-ing and report EEG under the guidance of the senior physician. Strict examination is arranged for each phase to evaluate study results objectively. The phased model is designed to implement a step-by-step training of child-EEG and foster the trainee's independent ability to carry out EEG inspection.

Objective To explore the medication closed-loop management of huangshi central hospital based on electronic medical records.Methods Diversified pharmaceutical information platform was constructed.The full coverage of all aspects of medication information,such as ordering/prescribing,transcribing,distributing,preparing,dispensing,administering,documenting,and monitoring was realized.Results The medication management and use had no information gap,and bias could be controlled to form a closed-loop management.Conclusion Application of the new information technology in the field of pharmaceutical care can improve work efficiency,reduce medication errors,broaden the vision of clinical pharmacists and scope of work,and improve the overall level of pharmaceutical care.

AIM:To evaluate the relationship between RUNX3,cyclin E,P21,biological features and survival in gastric cancer patients.METHODS:RUNX3 was examined using immunohistochemical staining.Cyclin E and P21 were analyzed by flow cytometry.Survival was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival curves.RESULTS:The positive-expression rate of RUNX3,cyclin E and P21 in tumor tissue from 56 patients with gastric cancer were 44.6%,64.3% and 32.1%,respectively.RUNX3 expression was correlated with lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis(P0.05).Using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and the Log-rank test,there was correlation between RUNX3,cyclin E and survival(P0.05).CONCLUSION:RUNX3 may be related with tumorigenesis and tumor progression by affecting P21 expression.The detection of RUNX3 and cyclin E may be helpful in evaluating the clinicopathological parameters and prognosis in gastric carcinoma patients.

AIM: To investigate the changes of expression of SR-BI in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate(PMA) differentiated U937 cells.METHODS: U937 cells were cultured with 100 nmol/L PMA in order to differentiate the cells to macrophages.Immunocytochemical method,Western blotting analysis and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) were used to detect SR-BI protein and mRNA during differentiation.RESULTS: Immunocytochemistry showed that after exposure of U937 cells to PMA for 24,48,72 hours,the values of SR-BI protein expression in U937 cells were 15.94?3.56,27.86?4.39 and 9.08?2.37,with the first two higher than that in undifferentiated cells(7.76?1.74,P0.05) increment in the expression of SR-BI protein compared with U937 monocytes.RT-PCR showed that relative SR-BI mRNA expression in different group was 0.112?0.006,0.235?0.014,0.344?0.140 and 0.138?0.010,respectively.CONCLUSION: SR-BI protein and mRNA were increased after differentiation,reached a peak at 48 hours,and decreased at 72 hours.High expression levels of SR-BI in U937 macrophages following PMA differentiation may be correlated with foam cell formation.

AIM: To investigate the effect of VEGF gene transfer on matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases(TIMPs) expression after vascular balloon injury. METHODS: 90 New Zealand white rabbits were divided into 3 groups randomly: group Ⅰ(balloon injury group), groupⅡ (pAdtrackCMV group) and group Ⅲ(pAdtrackCMV-VEGF165 group). Hypercholesterol diet was given for 7 days before experiment and continued to receive until the animals were killed. Each group were divided into five subgroups according to the sacrifice time. Blood samples and iliac arteries were harvested for further analysis. RESULTS: In group Ⅰ and Ⅱ, MMP2 and TIMP1,2 expressions were detected during the whole process ,while in group III ,MMP1,2,9 and TIMP1,2 could be detected from 3 days after gene transfer and reached the highest level at 1 week and could not be detected at 8 week. CONCLUSIONS: Imbalance expression of MMPs and TIMPs occurred after vascular injury and this may be the reason of pathological remodeling. Local phAdtrackCMV-VEGF165 transfer could specifically change the expression of MMPs and facilitate the positive remodeling process after vascular injury.
