Objective To evaluate the teaching activity on public health courses from clinical medical students in our university in order to provide a scientific basis for improving the curriculum design and teaching reform. Methods The “Questionnaire on Teaching Evaluation in Public Health Courses”, including teaching attitude, teaching content, teaching methods and teaching effectiveness was designed, and a general investigation was conducted among the clinical medical students of five-year program (840 students) and eight-year program (278 students) in these three aspects to under-stand students' evaluation to the course, who had finished the public health courses, including Preven-tive Medicine, Medical Statistics and Epidemiology (hereinafter referred to as: statistics, epidemiology, prevention) in Sun Yat-sen University. Statistical analysis was made using SPSS 13.0 software. Data analysis methods contain descriptive analysis, T-test, ANOVA, LSD, SNK, hierarchical logistic regres-sion analysis, etc. Results The overall score of teaching evaluation is (4.04±0.60). Differences exist between the evaluation in the five-year medical students and the eight-year medical students. The P values were 0.000 (Medical Statistics), 0.269 (Epidemiology), 0.047 (Preventive Medicine). The com-parison of scores among the four dimensions shows: Teaching effectiveness < Teaching methods β' effectiveness. Conclusions Clinical Medical students' overall evaluation on the public health courses offered by this university was good. Teaching effectiveness and teaching methods still need improvement. Teaching contents are the most influential factor of overall teaching satisfaction, followed by teaching effectiveness.

Objective To better understand the clinical characteristics of Familial Idiopathic Basal Ganglia Calcifi?cation (FIBGC), including at the perspective of hereditary pattern, clinical test results, onset age, clinical heterogeneity and the volume of basal ganglia calcification (VBGC). Method 8 Eight FIBGC families were collected and draw family pedigrees were draw. Analysis of was conducted on the patient's clinical test results, head CT and MRI changes, onset ag?es, relationship of clinical manifestations with VBGC. Results No significant difference was found in serum calcium, alu?minum, arsenic, cobalt, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, parathyroid hormone and calcitonin concentration between the fam?ily members of patients and healthy controls (P>0.05). Family members from 8 FIBGC families including the two with consanguineous marriage manifested autosomal dominant heredity. The severity of , symptomatic s was correlated with VBGCpatients showed the same clinical manifestations in the dyskinesia family. The psychiatric symptoms was not asso? ciated with VBGC whereas patients with dyskinesia had a large VBGC. There was a significant difference in onset age be?tween patients with psychiatric symptoms and those with dyskinesia. P.atients with dyskinesia suffer larger VBGC, and is characterized by Patients with dyskinesia had relatively later onset age (43.95 ± 2.47 y) whereas those with. psychiatric symptoms hadsymptomatic patients with early onset age (31.32±10.16y). The comparison of the onset age (43.954±2.473 vs. 31.319±10.156 y, t=4.438, P=0.001) and VBGC (1.748±0.622 vs. 0.392±0.276 cm3, t=2.518, P=0.028) with symptom?atic patients between dyskinesia and psychogenic families was significant. Conclusions Eight FIBGC families manifested autosomal dominant heredity. Patients with dyskinesia suffer have a larger VBGC and are associated with a, and is char?acterized by relatively later onset age. In contrast, patients with psychiatric symptomspsychogeny is not related withhave a the small VBGC and showedand their age of onset is young. earlier onset age.

Objective To explore the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in skin and heart grafts survival prolongation after different CD47 genotype donor specific splenocytes pretreatment.Methods Mouse skin plus hearts transplantation model was set up by using C57BL/6 as recipients and MHC class I-mismatched bm1 as donors.In CD47-/-DST group,recipients received CD47-/-bm1 splenocytes transfusion at 7th d before transplantation.In CD47+/+DST group,recipients received CD47+/+bm1 splenocytes transfusion at 7th day before transplantation.In control group,recipients only received bm1 skin and heart grafts.The populations of Tregs were analyzed by FACS and immunohistochemistry,respectively.The inhibitory effect of Tregs and anti-donor T cell responses was assessed by MLR.Results Result As compared with control group,the survival time of skin grafts in CD47-/-DST group was slightly longer than in non-DST group (20 days vs.17.5 days,P>0.05),but skin grafts had long-term survival in CD47+/+DST group (46.5 days,P<0.005).The survival time of heart grafts in CD47-/-DST group was similar to that in the control group,and slightly longer than non-DST group (17 days vs.15.5 days,P>0.05),but heart grafts had long-term survival in CD47+/+DST group (42.5 days vs.17 days,P<0.01).At 18th day after transplantation,immunohistochemistry showed that more Tregs infiltration could be observed in CD47-/-DST group,but not in CD47+/+DST group.The number of Foxp3+Tregs from the mice receiving CD47-/-DST increased markedly at 18th day post-transplantation compared to thot from the mice receiving CD47+/+DST (P<0.01),but the ratio of Tregs was decreased significantly (P<0.05).The number of Foxp3+Tregs in both CD47-/-and CD47+/+ DST groups was increased,but there was no significant difference between two groups (P>0.05).As compared with CD47-/-DST group,the ratio of Tregs in lymph node cells in CD47+/+DST group increased significantly (P<0.01).Compared to CD47-/-DST group and control group,anti donor specific T cell proliferation was decreased in CD47+/+DST group at 7th day after transplantation (P<0.05).The inhibitory effects of Tregs were similar among groups.Conclusion CD47 expressed on DST cells plays an important role in grafts survival prolongation.The ratio of Tregs in lymphocytes plays the key role in grafts survival prolongation.but not the number or inhibitory function of single Treg.

Objective To investigate the effects of sevoflurane on ca2+ transsarcolemmal influx and ca2+ release function of endoplasmic reticulum in isolated outer hair cells (OHCs) of guinea pigs and the possible mechanism by which sevofhlrane acts on cochleas.Methods The experiment was performed in 2 parts.In experiment I:twelve adult guinea pigs(8 male,4 female)weighing 180-230 g were used.OHCs were mechanically sparated after enzymatic incubation.Thirty OHCs with favorable activity were divided into 3 groups (n=10 each):group I control(C);group Ⅱ low concentration sevoflurane (1.7%,group S1) and group Ⅲ high concentration sevoflurane(3.4%,group S2).The OHCs were stained with 6 umol/L Fluo-3AM in estefified form for 40 min.Group S1 and S2 were pretreated with 1.7% and 3.4% sevoflugsne respectively for 20 min.KCI 40 mmol/L was then added.The intracellular ionized Ca2+ concentration ([C2+]I) was determined byintracelhlar Ca2+ fluorescent intensity using laser scanning confocal microscope.The protocol of the experimentⅡ was the same as the experimentI.The only difference was that caffeine 20 mmol/L was added instead of KCI 40 mmol/L.Results In experiment I:there was no significant difference in baseline[ca2+]I and[ca2+]I after being exposed to sevoflurane among the 3 groups.[Ca2+]I was significanfly increased after addition of KCI as compared with the baseline[Ca2+]I and was significantly lower in group Sl and S2 than in group C and was the lowest in group S2.In experimentⅡ:the[ca2+]I was significantly increased after addition of caffeine but there was no significant difference in[Ca2+]I among the 3 groups.Conclusion Sevoflurane can inhibit voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel opening in a concentration-dependent manner but can not affect ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ release function of endoplasmic reticuhm in isolated outer hair cells of guinea pigs.

Objective To investigate the safety and clinical effect of renal hilum controlling during right retroperitoneal laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy (RPLDN).Methods From January 2009 to May 2012,62 cases of right RPLDN were performed in our department.The clinical data,including the general status of donors,operative time,blood loss,donor kidney warm ischemic time,hospital stays and complications,were analyzed retrospectively.Results Right RPLDN was performed successfully on all 62 cases without conversion to open procedure and apparent complications.The function of all the kidney grafts recovered well.Mean operative time was 73.5 ± 10.4 min,mean blood loss was 30.7 ± 10.4 ml,mean warm ischemic time was 107.2 ± 24.8 s,mean artery and vein lengths were 3.3 ± 0.5 cm and 2.0 ± 0.4 cm,vena cava incision suture time was 2.0 ± 0.5 min and mean hospital stay was 5.2 ± 1.6 days,respectively.Conclusion Right donor kidney with small part of vena cava can be harvested by using retroperitoneal laparoscopy plus open passage way.This technique of renal hilum controlling in RPLDN has good clinical effect and more advantages,including ensuring the safety of donors and kidney grafts,promoting the operation done smoothly,reducing the pain and financial burden of donors.

Objective To explore the effects of penile erectile dysfunction (ED) on the quality of life in male renal transplant recipients.Methods 150 cases of male married recipients undergoing renal transplantation were selected randomly.The recipients were divided into ED group (n =63) and non-ED group (n =87) through the IIEF-5 score.The Short Form-36 Health Status Survey (SF-36)and Hamilton Anxiety Scale were used to compare their living quality and the state of mental health between the two groups,respectively.Results The SF-36 scores in ED group in General Health,Vitality,Social Function,Role Limitation due to Emotional Problems,Mental Health were significantly lower than those in non-ED group (P＜0.05).There were 13 cases in ED group with anxiety disorders (20.6％),significantly more than in non-ED group (3.4％),P＜0.05.Conclusion ED is an important influencing factor for the quality of life in male kidney transplant recipients.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing delayed graft function (DGF)following kidney transplants from donation after citizens death (DCD) in single transplant center.Methods The clinical data of 504 kidney transplants from DCD in the First Hospital of Jilin University between August,2011 and May,2017 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.The functional recovery of kidney graft and the related factors were analyzed,respectively.Results The DGF occurred in 32 cases among 504 kidney transplant recipients during perioperative period,who received dialysis treatment (6.3％).The average recovery time of DGF was 21.0 ± 17.1 days.The average dialysis duration (41.3 ± 38.2 months) pre-transplant in DGF group was significantly longer than that in non-DGF group (28.9 ± 26.2 months) (P =0.024).The average age of donors (42.7 ±9.4 years) in DGF group was significantly older than that in non-DGF group (39.0 ± 15.9 years) (P=0.009).The ratio of donors who received CPR treatment in DGF group (21.9％) was significantly higher than that in non-DGF group (6.4％) (P =0.001).The average last serum creatinine level of donors in DGF group (149.3 ± 98.3 mol/L) was significantly higher than that in non-DGF group (92.8 ± 41.6 mol/L) (P＜0.001).The multivariate analysis revealed that CPR treatment for donors before organ donation,the last serum creatinine level of donors as well as BMI of kidney transplant recipients were all independent risk factor influencing DGF (P =0.001,P＜0.001 and P =0.008,respectively).Conclusion Our study focused on analysis of factors influencing DGF following kidney transplants from DCD in single transplant center.The results of this study are helpful to find and avoid the high risk factors that could influence DGF,reduce the incidence of DGF,improve the quality of patients' life as well as reduce the cost of medical treatment.

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles containing a variety of cell membrane molecules and related protein. They have been found to act as important intercellular messengers carrying functional RNAs, proteins and lipids that can induce phenotypic changes in recipient cells and promote cell activation or inhibition effect. In recent years, some studies have shown that exosomes can not only play an immune activation role to trigger antiviral immune response after viral infection, but also help to spread virus among cells, thus contributing to viral immune escape. Exosomes can either spread or limit an infection depending on the type of pathogen and the features of source cells, and can be studied as potential targets for development of antiviral drugs and vaccines. This review summarized the role of exosomes in viral infections with an emphasis on their potential contribution to pathogenesis.

Blood-brain barrier is a natural barrier between blood and brain tissue that can protect the brain from invasion by infectious pathogens in blood and maintain the homeostasis of the brain environment. However, neurotropic viruses can escape or disrupt blood-brain barrier and then invade the brain, causing serious complications in the central nervous system such as encephalitis and meningitis, which seriously threaten human life. This paper mainly summarized the research progress in the pathogenic mechanisms of common neurotropic viruses crossing blood-brain barrier and invading the central nervous system.
