Radiation nephropathy refers to the damage of renal parenchyma and blood vessel caused by sufficient exposure to ionizing radiation.The clinical presentation includes proteinuria,hematuria,anemia,hypertension,and azotemia.Histological features include capillary loop thickening,mesangiolysis,formation of the double contours,subendothelial swelling,tubular atrophy,and tubulointerstitial fibrosis.Similar changes are seen in a variety of experimental animal models.The pathogenesis of radiation nephropathy remained unclear.It is reported that radiation-induced changes in kidney cell phenotype,renin angiotensin system(RAS) and oxidative stress is clearly involved.Multiple experimental studies have shown that antagonism of the RAS is beneficial,even when not initiated until weeks after irradiation.Recent findings suggest a similar benefit in clinical radiation nephropathy.

Medical imperfection is the major reason for medical bother.How to avoid medical imperfection and guarantee medical security are the key issues of medical administrators.By investigating,integrating and analyzing the causation of the medical imperfection and the ways of prevention,we conclude that human context has an important effect.

LncRNAs( long noncoding RNAs ) can be defined as RNA transcrips longer than 200nt without protein coding capacity , which play vital roles in various aspects of gene expression regulation.Recent investigations showed aberrant expression of many lncRNAs in primary liver cancer , indicating their important roles in tumorigenesis and development of liver cancer.This review focuses on the biological functions of lncRNAs and their involvements in primary liver cancer.

Objective To explore the effects of interleukin1?(IL-1?) and matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) in middle ear cholesteatoma and to explore the correlation between their expression and the ability of destruction of cholesteatoma.Methods IL-1? and MMP-9 were determined immunohistochemically in the specimens from 21 cases cholesteatomas and 10 external ear skin of patients with cholesteatoma.Results The positive expression of IL-1? and MMP-9 in cholesteatoma epithelialium were increased greatly than that in external epidermis(P

Diphyllobothrium latum infection in human is not common in China and only 15 cases have been reported since 1927. We document a case of Diphyllobothrium latum infection caused by the ingestion of raw fish in a 23-year-old woman in Dalian (Liaoning Province), and diphyllobothriasis latum in China is briefly reviewed. The patient experienced abdominal discomfort for about 6 months with a history of discharging proglottids in the feces. The morphologic characteristic of the gravid proglottids and eggs were identified as that of Diphyllobothrium latum. The patient was treated with pumpkin seed powder (100g) and betel nut(100g) on an empty stomach. The majority of reported human cases occurred due to the ingestion of raw or uncooked fish, such as pikes, burbots, trouts, perch and salmons. The patient is the first case reported in Dalian (Lianning Province).

Humanistic quality is the basis of spirit maturity,the pursuit of medical spirit,the core of vocational morality and the fundamentality of walk.Enhancing humanistic quality is the foundation to understand medicine as well as engage in doctoral profession and the requirement to face society and achieve their own values for the students.

Medical defects are the main reason for medical disputes,also the important factors which influence the health care order and medical service quality and cause tension between doctors and patients. The occurrence of medical defects highlights deficiency of humanism. We should reinforce liberal education in the medical services and medical education,prevent the occurrence of medical defects fundamentally,and improve the quality of medical services comprehensively.

Objective To establish the nursing care for the patients with pulse steroid therapy, and to investigate its effect. Methods 78 patients who accepted pulse steroid therapy in the past 4 years were analyzed retrospectively, in which, 42 within past 2 years （2008 and 2007) were as pulse steroid nursing care group, and other 36 patients before 2 years (2007 and 2006) were as routine nursing care group. Results 3 weeks after the pulse steroid therapy, in pulse steroid nursing care group, proximal muscle weakness were found in 8 patents, insomnia in 18 patients; while in routine nursing care groups, proximal muscle weakness were found in 16 patents, and insomnia in 25 patients（P<0.05）. Conclusion Pulse steroid nursing care can reduce the incidence of muscle weakness and insomnia after pulse steroid therapy significantly.

Objective To observe the changes in enteric motor function and acetylcholine esterase(AchE)neuron and nitric oxide synthase neuron(NOS)in enteric nervous system after different abdominal operations,and to explore the mechanism of these changes.Methods Sprague Dawley rats were divided into experimental groups(laparotomy group,intestine massage group and intestinal operation group)and the control group.Rats in each group were gavaged with medicinal carbon powder,and then the transimission of carbon powder in small intestine was determined,and the spreading specimens of intestinal myenteric plexus of small intestine and large intestine were collected and stained with AchE and nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate-D(NADPH-d)for histological study,and the density of distribution and positive stained AchE and NOS neurons were observed and compared.Results The changes in enteric motor function:the propellant rate of carbon powder was slower in enteric massage group and intestinal operation group than that in laparotomy group and control group(18.1?2.8,25.7?3.5 vs 47.4?3.6,49.8?4.5,P0.05).Compared with the control group,the number and positive expression of AchE positive neuron in intestinal myenteric plexus decreased in small intestine and large intestine in intestinal operation group and intestine massage group(small intestine 43.0?3.0,52.2?3.3 vs 65.3?3.9,P

Objective To provide an anatomic data of the lumbar isthmus, and to increase the fusion rate of the graft bone for spondylolisthesis treated with posterolateral spinal fusion and Steffee plate fixation. Methods The area and volume of the bone graft bed for posterolateral spinal fusion in the lumbar isthmus were studied on 30 dried specimens of adult lumbar spines from L 1 to L 5(a total of 150 lumbar vertebrae) with a vernier calipers, a goniometer and a graduate. Results The length of the superior edge of the isthmus gradually increased from L 1[(7.34? 1.15) mm] to L 5[(10.31? 1.89) mm], and that of its inferior edge progressively decreased from L 1[(6.63? 1.24) mm] to L 5 [( 4.73? 1.21) mm]. The superior edge of the isthmus was the thinnest at L 1[(1.85? 0.64)mm], and the thickness increased inferiorly from L 1[(6.57? 1.24) mm] to L 5[(7.57? 1.16) mm]. The medial and caudal inclination of the isthmus with respect to the pedicle gradually increased from L 1 (113.9?? 13.3? ) to L 5(119.1?? 13.5? ) medial inclination and from (101.2?? 9.5? ) at L 1 to (117.6?? 13.4? ) at L 5 caudal inclination, respectively. The length of the superior edge of the isthmus and the transverse diameter of the pedicle were positively correlated to the vertebral levels. The length of the inferior edge of the isthmus were negatively correlated to the vertebral levels. The dimensions of the graft bed area were postively correlated to dimensions of the graft bone volume. Conclusion The application of firm spinal internal fixation system with adequate graft bed area and adequate graft volume, the maintenance of close contact between the graft bed and the graft bone, and adequate period of postoperative stable contact of the graft in bed were the keys to enable reduction of the spondylolisthesis and to increase the fusion rate of posterolateral bone graft.
