AIM:To investigate the effects of tanshinone IIA ( Tan) on cardiac action potential in rats with a-cute cerebral ischemia (ACI).METHODS:ACI was established in rats accordingly .Animals were divided into 3 groups:sham group, ACI group, and ACI with Tan treatment group .The defect of neural function in each group was graded , elec-trocardiogram was measured , monophasic action potential was recorded , and the levels of cardiac troponin I ( cTnI ) and creatine kinase-MB ( CK-MB) were examined by commercially available kits .RESULTS:Compared with ACI group , Tan significantly decreased the scores of the defect of neural function , reduced the incidence and duration of the abnormalities in electrocardiogram , prolonged the effective refractory period , action potential duration at 50%repolarization and action po-tential duration at 90%repolarization, and inhibited the elevation of cTnI and CK-MB levels.CONCLUSION:Tan main-tains a stable heart rhythm in ACI rats , which may be related to its protective effect on ischemic myocardium .

ObjectiveTo investigate the outcomes of mother a nd baby smaller than 37 gestational age caused by preeclampsia. Method sThe data for 122 preterm birth that was single pregnancy with preecla mpsia in our hospital from January 1993 to December 2002 were collected. The pri nciple of diagnosis and treatment, the outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. T he 122 pregnant women were divided into 3 groups according to their gestational age, more than 28 weeks and smaller than 31 +6 weeks was the first group (28 cases), more than 32 weeks and smaller than 33 +6 weeks was the second grou p (26 cases), more than 34 weeks and smaller than 36 +6 weeks was the thir d group (68 cases). The data were statisted with SAS software.Results The earlier the pregnancy-induced hypertension happened, the earlier the preeclampsia occured, the mean time was 14 03 d, 16 85 d,22 22 d, respect ively, (P0.05), the outcomes of mothers were good. Increasing the gestational age under the cond ition that the occurrene of comptications was not increased, 60 64% pregnant wo men accepted the treatment of improving the maturity of fetal lung. There were n o differences among the three groups at the morbidity of perinatal SGA, intracra nial hemorrhage (P 0.05) .ConclusionWe could improve the outcomes of pret erm birth caused by preeclampsia by enhancing the perinatal care, treating and t erminating pregnancy activey Increasing the gestational age, improving the matur ity of fetal lung would decrease the morbidity of severe RDS and improve the pe rinatal outcome effectively.

Microorganism distributes in the organs of human body which connect with external environment, especially those organs in the gastrointestinal tracts, and it also plays a fundamental role in the physiopathology of the host's body. Because the microorganism is very small and has a great variety, it is difficult to reveal the significance of microorganism in the human physiopathology comprehensively and deeply. With the development of molecular biology, genomics, bioinformatics and other disciplines, the microbiome research will be more possible and easier. There are two key contents of microecology. One of these is to identify and quantify the diversity of microorganism, and the other is to reveal activity and the physiopathological function of microorganism in the host. Microbiome research methods, therefore, can be summarized as the traditional detection methods, construction of gene library, the genetic fingerprint analysis and molecular hybridization techniques and so on.

Objective; To evaluate the reliability and reasonability of maxillofacial skin color match using the digital camera. Methods; The stability of the experimental light source was evaluated before establishing the color measurement. 122 volunteers aged from 22 to 32 years were recorded by a Canon EOS 20D digital camera in studio environment when the light source was stable. Photographs were taken under a set exposure parameters(f/4.5,1/25 s,custom white balance,ISO 800) and saved as JPEG format. The CIE L~* a~* b~* color values were obtained from the digital images using Adobe Photoshop7.0 after color correction. All data were analyzed using SPSS 10. 0. Results;The experimental light source was stable in 21 to 70 minutes. It was suitable for color measurement during this period. The color parameters of all tested maxillofacial skin were:L~*49～66,a~*7 - 18,b~*5 -22. Conclusion;The assessment of maxillofacial skin color depend on method of measurement and instrument. The method of maxillofacial skin color matching by digital camera seems reliable.

Emergency gastroscopy was performed for 146 patients with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage admitted to Tieying Hospital, Beijing to identify causes of bleeding and establish diagnosis. One hundred and thirty-nine of them were cured with endoscopic treatment, but two failed so to change to surgical operation. It suggested that early gastroscopy is a convenient, easy and safe method in diagnosis and treatment of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Fetal origins of adult disease,the thrifty phenotype hypothesis, nutritional programming,metabolic programming indicate that nutrition in early life is important.Epidemiological survey demonstrates that insulin resistance is relataed to intrauterine growth retardation,but the exact mechanism is indefinite.This article is about the influence of intrauterine growth retardation to the structure and function of pancreas,and the genes that related to insulin resistance.

Objective To explore the current situation of nursing students′ self-learning and its influencing factors in the western China.Methods Based on the method of proportion allocation in stratified random sampling,the self-made general questionnaire and Williamson self-directed learning rating scale(translated by Shen Wangqin)were used for questionnaire survey among full-time nursing undergraduates and junior college students in four universities.Results The self-directed learning ability of nursing students was in general at a medium level;and the dimensions with the highest score and the lowest score were interpersonal relationship skills and learning behaviors.The self-directed learning ability of top public university was better than that of basic public universities(P<0.01);and the degree of self-directed learning ability of nursing students who were girls,in senior classes,voluntarily choosing and showing interest in this major was higher than those of other students(P<0.05);the motivation,learning interest,self-directed learning time per week were positive factors,and the learning difficulties acted as a negative impact factor.Conclusion The main factors influencing the self-directed learning ability of nursing students include the grade,gender,the willingness to choose the nursing major,the degree of preference for the nursing major,learning motivation,and learning interest.

Objective To investigate the influence of LNG-IUS placement on endometrial thickness, recurrence rate and complications of patients with endometrial polyps and moderate anemia after TCRP. Methods 140 patients with endometrial polyps and moderate anemia were chosen from January 2014 to January 2016 and randomly divided into control group (70 patients) with TCRP used alone and observation group (70 patients) with LNG-IUS placement after TCRP; the endometrial thickness, hemoglobin levels and PBAC score before and after treatment, the recurrence rate and the complication incidence of both groups were compared. Results The endometrial thickness after treatment of observation group were significantly less than control group before the treatment (P < 0.05). The hemoglobin levels and PBAC score after treatment of observation group were significantly better than control group before the treatment (P < 0.05). The recurrence rate of observation group were significantly lower than control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the complication incidence between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion LNG-IUS placement in treatment of patients with endometrial polyps and moderate anemia after TCRP can efficiently reduce the endometrial thickness, decrease the uterine bleeding amount, prevent the long-term recurrence and not increase the complications incidence.

Prostate cancer is the most prevalent male urogenital malignancy.Androgen deprivation therapy is the principal method for initial treatment for the patients,but the majority of them will eventually develop progressive disease,a status called castration-resistant prostate carcinoma.Lots of susceptibility genes,tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes,and their variations rdevant to the occurrence and development of prostate cancer have been revealed by the studies of molecular oncology.These findings on the molecular basis of prostate carcinogenesis will further improve the strategies on prevention,diagnosis and clinical management for prostate carcinoma.
