[Objective] To explore more scientific and reasonable methods for testing the effectiveness of indoorair purifying sets, so as to obtain scientific and constant experimental data from every laboratories. [Methods] Theindoor air purifying sets were classified on the basis of their working mechanisms. Several kinds of current popularmethods for testing the purifying effectiveness and their characters were compared each other and analyzed. The in-fluencing factors and limited conditions of 3 determining models under special conditions established on the basis ofbalance model of pollutants release were explored and studied. [Results] Several current popular methods for testingthe purifying effectiveness were crude, which couldn't accurately reflact the purifying effectiveness of tested indoorair purifying sets. To ensure the experimental operation simple and strict and to obtain scientific testing data, the ex-perimental process should be controlled and transfered to a model suitable for simple volatile matter or other modelseasily operated under the control of its influencing factors. [Conclusion]The establishments of accurate testing meth-ods and accurate expressions of testing results were the sufficient and essential conditions for accurate evaluation ontesting objectives.

Objective To understand employment status of the eight-year program medical graduates from different medical colleges and put forward reasonable proposals on the current prob-lems. Method Through questionnaire, we conducted research among eight-year program medical graduates of three different grades (Grade 04,05,06) on the general condition of employment, research level, actual working time, expectations and actual salary, satisfaction with jobs and so on. Data statis-tics was done by Excel 2007. Totally, our research involved 11 medical colleges and 389 questionnaires. Results 94.34% (367/389) of the eight-year program medical graduates work in top three hospitals. The top five factors affecting the employment were reputation of the school 86.38%(336/389), reputation of the Principal Investigator 66.83% (260/389), social relations 60.15% (234/389), scientific research level 52.96% (206/389) and gender 46.79% (182/389). The amount of published papers from those graduates and their satisfaction with jobs vary greatly. Conclusion Eight-year program medical grad-uates employment faces both opportunities and challenges, and a clear training objective and improve-ment of continuing medical education system for the eight-year program medical graduates will have great significance on the promotion of their employment.

Objective:To explore the effect of tectorigenin on myocardial fibrosis(MF) in the rats and clarify the related mechanism,and to provide reference for its clinical application. Methods:Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model group,positive drug (capropril) control group, and low,middle,high doses of tectorigenin groups(n=10).Except normal control group, the rats in other groups were used to construct MF models by subcutaneous injection of 5 mg·kg -1·d -1 isoproterenol (Iso) for 7 d.The rats in tectorigenin groups and captopril group were intragastricly administrated with different doses of tectorigenin (25,50,100 mg·kg-1·d-1)and captopril(10 mg·kg -1·d -1) from the second day after modeling for consecutive 28 d.Bl-420E+ biological function experiment system was used to detect the heart function;Heart mass index (HMI) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were measured after experiment.UV detection was used to measure the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in myocardial tissue.Microplate reader was used to measure the activities of lactic dehydrogenase(LDH) and creatine kinase(CK) and the levels of nitric oxide (NO)in serum.ELISA were used to detect the levels of collagen typeⅠ(ColⅠ) and collagen type Ⅲ (Col Ⅲ) in myocardium tissue of the rats.The pathological changes of myocardium tissue of the rats in various groups were observed by HE staining.Results:Compared with normal control group,the HR of rats in model groups was increased,and the left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) was decreased(P<0.01);the HMI and LVMI were increased(P<0.05),the levels of MDA in left ventricular myocardial tissue was increased(P<0.01),and the activity of SOD was decreased,the levels of serum ColⅠ,Col Ⅲ and the activities of LDH , CK were also increased(P<0.01);the level of NO in serum was decreased(P<0.01).Compared with model groups, the HR were decreased,LVSP were increased, and HMI and LVMI of the rats in different doses of tectorigenin groups were decreased in a dose-dependent manner;the levels of MDA were reduced;the activities of SOD were increased in myocardium tissue,and the CK activities and the ColⅠ and ColⅢ levels were decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01);the LDH activities in middle and high doses of tectorgenin groups were decreased(P<0.01);and the levels of NO in serum in different doses of tectorigenin groups were significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01) .Conclusion:Tectorigenin could inhibit the MF induced by Iso in the rats, and its mechanism may be related to antioxidation,scavenging free radical and inhibition of collagen synthesis.

AIM:To investigate the impact of various levels of glucose on endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) proliferation, senescence, and nitric oxide (NO) secretion,and the effect of insulin under high glucose conditions.METHODS: Mononuclear cells were collected from rat bone marrow by density gradient centrifugation, cultured with medium 199, and identified to be EPCs at 7th day by flk-1 and AC133 double staining. EPCss were harvested and incubated with glucose (5, 10, 20, 40 mmol/L) or insulin (0.1, 1, 10, 100 nmol/L) under high glucose conditions for 24 h or 7 days. Proliferative capacity, senescence level and NO secretion (after 24 h of incubation) were subsequently determined.RESULTS: High glucose (40 mmol/L) markedly inhibited EPCs proliferation, accelerated EPCs senescence, and decreased NO production (all P
