At present, oncology medical student in our country has many communication problems, such as communication awareness is not strong,the lack of communication,communication is not enough self-confidence and other issues.To improve the communication ability between doctors and patients for the oncology professional medical students:it is the necessary premise for correct implementation of diagnosis and treatment, an effective way to reduce medical disputes, adapt to the demand of the development of higher medical education.And pointed out the effective ways to improve the ability of doctor-patient communication:to set up the doctor-patient communi-cation and tumor department before the internship training course;establishlisten with your heart and professional guidancemode;with teacher actively guiding; learn to empathymode; adhere to the concept of taking pa-tients as the center.

To compare the anxiolytic effects of reduced metabolite of progesterone and benzodiazepine.Methods　The effects of allopregnanolone and diazepam on spontaneous locomotor activity and on exploration in the elevated plus-maze were studied in C57 mice 20 min after vehicle or drug intraperitoneal administration.Results Allopregnanolone (0.1 mg.kg-1,ip) elicited marked anxiolytic effects in terms of significantly reducing the latency to enter the open arm from (31.30±8.39)s to (8.80±6.00)s,(P<0.001),and significantly increasing both the number of open arm entries from 1.20 ± 0.42 to 4.80 ±1.75,(P<0.001) and the proportion of total time spent on the open arm from 7.13％ to 32.50％,(P<0.001).Meanwhile,the diazepam (0.25 mg·kg-1) produced a lower anxiolytic effect comparing to that of the allopregnanolone.Analysis of spontaneous locomotor activity showed while 0.5 mg·kg-1 of diazepam decreased the locomotor activity (P<0.01),neither 0.1 mg·kg-1 of allopregnanolone nor 0.25 mg·kg-1 of diazepam affect the locomotor activity score.Conclusion Together,these results provide evidence for differential behavioral actions of the neurosteroids and benzodiazepines.Since the allopregnanolone produce a selective anxiolytic effect without affecting the spontaneous locomotor activity,the allopregnanolone may be a better alternative for diazepam in treating anxiety.

Objective To study the MR imaging technology and 3D reconstruction of the articular cartilage of knee.MethodsConventional,2D,3D and multiparameter MR imaging scans of knee were performed in ninety patients with trauma(n=34)andosteoarthritis(n=56) of knee and 10 healthy volunteers.The articular cartilages on 3D images were reconstructed using maximum intensity projection(MIP).The mean thickness of articular cartilage was measured and analysed statistically.Results Articular cartilages of knee were clearly depicted by MR imaging technique and 3D.On 2D FSE sequence,about 50% of articular cartilage appeared as three laminar apearance.On 3D imaging,the three-dimensional morphology of articular cartilage was showed clearly.Conclusion MR imaging and 3D reconstruction of the articular cartilages of knee is helpful in early diagnosis and treatment of disordered cartilages.

Aim To compare the anxiolytic effects of reduced metabolite of progesterone and benzodiazepine.Methods The effects of allopregnanolone and diazepam on spontaneous locomotor activity and on exploration in the elevated plus_maze were studied in C57 mice 20 min after vehicle or drug intraperitoneal administration. Results Allopregnanolone (0.1 mg?kg-1, ip) elicited marked anxiolytic effects in terms of significantly reducing the latency to enter the open arm from (31.30?8.39)s to (8.80?6.00)s, (P

Objective To observe the expression law of cytokine signaling suppressors (SOCSs) mRNA in burn rats with Staphylococcus aureus sepsis and investigate their potential role in the pathogenesis of postburn sepsis. Methods Wistar rats were inflicted with 20% TBSA Ⅲ? scald, followed by Staphylococcus aureus challenge. Then, the expressions of SOCS1, SOCS2 and SOCS3 mRNA and interferon-? (IFN-?) levels in the liver and lungs were determined. Results With Staphylococcus aureus challenge after burn, IFN-? levels in the liver and lungs were significantly elevated and reached peak at the 0.5th and 6th hours, respectively (P

Objective To discuss the association of allele polymorphisms SNP-rs1799724(C>T)in the TNF-αand SNP-rs11559013(G>A)in the ALCAM with HCV chronic infection in Han population in Yunnan province. Methods 434 HCV chronic infectious patients and 444 healthy individuals of Han Chinese population in Yunnan province were recruited. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)in the SNP-rs1799724(C>T) of TNF-αgene and SNP-rs11559013(G>A)of ALCAM gene were determined by real-time TaqMan polymerase chain reaction. We evaluated the associations of the two SNPs with HCV chronic infection. Results The distributions of allele and genotype of SNP-rs1799724(C>T)in the TNF-αand SNP-rs11559013(G>A)in the ALCAM between hepatitis C virus(HCV)chronic infectious patients and the healthy controls were not statistically significant(P > 0.05). Conclusion SNP-rs1799724(C>T)in the TNF-αand SNP-rs11559013(G>A) in the ALCAM have no association with HCV chronic infection in the Han population in Yunnan province.

Objective To evaluate the effect of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor receptor type Ⅱ:IgG Fc fusion protein (rhTNFR:Fc,trade name Etanercept) combined with methotrexate on levels of interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the serum and mononuclear cells of patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.Methods A total of 30 patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis were enrolled from Department of Dermatology of Tenth People's Hospital of Tongji University between August 2014 and February 2016,and then were randomly and equally divided into Etanercept group and Etanercept + methotrexate group.The treatment lasted 24 weeks.Fifteen healthy blood donors served as healthy control group.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and real-time quantitative PCR were performed to measure the serum levels and mRNA expression of IL-17A and TNF-α,respectively,in the patients of the above two groups before and after the treatment.Results Before the treatment,the serum levels of IL-17A and TNF-ct,as well as the mRNA expression of IL-17A and TNF-α in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs),were all significantly higher in all the patients than in the healthy controls (all P ＜ 0.05).After the treatment,compared with the Etanercept group,the Etanercept + methotrexate group showed significantly lower serum levels of IL-17A (142.67 ± 14.82 vs.163.54 ± 23.18,P ＜ 0.05) and TNF-α (70.07 ± 25.02 vs.91.98 ± 14.62,P ＜ 0.05),as well as lower mRNA expression of IL-17A (1.12 ± 0.33 vs.1.56 ± 0.77,P ＜ 0.05) and TNF-α in PBMCs (2.50 ± 1.04 vs.3.61 ± 2.14,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Etanercept combined with methotrexate is superior to Etanercept alone in the treatment of psoriasis,and can reduce treatment duration and improve therapeutic effect,likely by down-regulating the expression of IL-17A and TNF-α.

Objective To discuss the function of pelvic lymphadenectomy in radical cystectomy. Methods Ninety-five patients with bladder cancer (76 males and 19 females) underwent radical cys-tectomy. Clinical data were reviewed. Median age was 62 years old (25-78). Among all patients, 49 were newly diagnosed and 46 had recurrent disease. Of 95 patients, 87 were urothelial cell carcinoma, 5 were adenocarcinoma, and 3 were squamous cell carcinoma. Of 87 urothelial cell carcinoma cases, 17 were grade 1, 39 were grade 2, and 31 were grade 3. Of 95 patients, 10 were Ta-T1,54 were T2 ,26 were T3 ,and 5 were T4 according to AJCC classification. All cases accepted bilateral pelvic lymphade-nectomy according to standard protocol. Results Bilateral lymphadenectomy was taken an average time about 20 min. No important vessels and nerves injury occurred and average bleeding volume was 25 ml during procedure. A median of 10 lymph nodes were removed (range, 1-20). The nodal posi-tive rate was 17.9% (17/95) with 58.8% (10/17) bilateral lymph nodes positive. Short-term opera-tion-related complication rate was 12.6% (12/95). No operation-related death happened. Median fol-low up time was 34 months (3 to 64 months). Sixteen cases died during followup and the 3-year over-all survival rate was 84.5%. Conclusions Bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy should be routinely per-formed during radical cystectomy. Standard lymphadenectomy could document accurately the staging and improve the overall survival in radical cystectomy without severe complications.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the cost-effectiveness of preventive treatment on diabetes, using metformin or acarbose among patients with impaired glucose tolerance.

METHODSUsing data from diabetes prevention program (DPP) and STOP-NIDDM study, we evaluated the cost of preventing one new onset of diabetes in Shanghai, and to compare its cost with the current treatment cost.

RESULTSIf metformin was used for preventive treatment as in DPP study, a total cost of 69 122.95RMB was needed for preventing one new onset of diabetes in three years period. If acarbose was used for preventive treatment as in STOP-NIDDM, then 154 116.05RMB was the cost to prevent one diabetes in 3.3 years of treatment. However, if the generic metformin was used, the total cost was only 21 666.63RMB for the 3-years treatment. Data showed that the average cost for treating diabetes per year was 9143.70RMB in Shanghai.

CONCLUSIONThe total cost of diabetes prevention was formidable, although generic metformin showed the trend of cost-effective. The cost of drugs took the biggest part of the total cost. To choose the cheap but effective drug for treatment might save a large part of the cost. Further clinical research concerning the prevention of complications might provide us with more information on the cost-effectiveness of preventive treatment on diabetes.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical efficacy of Tongfu Mixture (TM) for post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP).

METHODSTotally 54 PEP patients were randomly assigned to the control group (treated by routine therapy, 26 cases) and the TM treatment group (treated by TM, 28 cases). Clinical indices including the alleviation time of abdominal pain/distention, gastrointestinal function recovery time, and the post-surgical length of stay were observed. Blood amylase (AMY), C-reactive protein (CRP), plasma endotoxin (PLS), TNF-alpha, and IL-6 were detected before surgery, 12 h, 48 h, and 96 h after surgery.

RESULTSThe alleviation time of abdominal pain/distention, the gastrointestinal function recovery time, and the post-surgical length of stay were obviously shorter in the TM treatment group than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The recovery of AMY and CRP were better in the TM treatment group than in the control group at post-operative 48 h and 96 h (P < 0.05). The levels of LPS, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 were lower in the TM group than in the control group at post-operative 96 h (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONTM showed better clinical efficacy and could significantly decrease the post-surgical length of stay. post-ERCP pancreatitis; integrative medicine; Tongfu Mixture
