The present article introduces a cardiopulmonary resuscitation model haif- length above the cross-section at the level of sixth rib.It wad designed on the basis of normal human antomy with lifelike configuration of heart,lungs,and some other organs.Synchronous pulsation of carotid artery could be detected during extracorporal cardiac massage,The accuracy of massage technique could be displayed by red and green coloured bulbs.A ninety-degree overextension of the neck is maintained during artificial respiration.Its function allows expansion of both the thorax and the lungs,lt is suitable for teaching in medical university and college and trining of first-aid personnel.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic techniques for corrections of facial contour deformities.MethodsA total of 58 patients(48 women and 10 men)with square face(38),prominent zygoma(12),or crooked noses(8)were treated by endoscopic-assisted technique in our hospital.Results The operation time ranged from 40 to 86 min(mean,65 min),and intraoperative blood loss was 60-120 ml(mean,78 ml).The patients were discharged from the hospital in 3 to 7 days(mean 4)after the surgery,and was followed up for 3 to 24 months.During the period,no one had unexpected fracture,injuries to the mental and facial nerves and vessels,or infection.All the patients were satisfied with the surgical outcomes.ConclusionsEndoscopic-assisted correction of facial contour deformities is feasible,safe,and effective.

Objective To explore the association between gene polymorphism of interleukin(IL)-4 C590T and serum level of IL-4 and atherothrombotic cerebral infarction(ATCI).Methods The gene polymorphisms of IL-4 C590T in 159 patients with ATCI and 151 normal control subjects were carried out by polymerase chain reaction(PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP).The serum level of IL-4 in normal control group was determined with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) method.Results In the normal control group,the serum level of IL-4 in TT genotype[(31.85?5.68) pg/ml] was higher significantly than those in TC[(28.67?6.00) pg/ml] and CC genotypes[(20.98?0.99) pg/ml],TC genotype was higher significantly than CC genotype(all P0.05).Conclusions IL-4 590T allele is associated with higher level of serum IL-4.The C590T polymorphism is not associated with the incidence of ATCI.

Objective To evaluate the value of retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy for benign adrenal tumors.Methods From March 2003 to May 2008,78 patients with adrenal tumors received retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy in our hospital. During the operation,three trocars were introduced into the lumbar region to establish retroperitoneal space by blunt dissection with the camera. Afterwards,the tumor was removed by using a harmonic scalpel. Results The procedures were successfully completed in all the 78 cases without blood transfusion,the operation time ranged from 45 to 180 min (mean,90 min). Drainage tubes were removed 24 hours after the operation. And the patients were discharged from hospital in 3 to 5 days postoperation. One patient showed regional subcutaneous emphysema after the surgery and was cured spontaneously. The patients were followed up for 3 to 24 months with a mean of 10 months,during which 36 patients achieved normal blood pressure in 3 months,while in the other 7 patients,oral antihypertension drugs were still needed. No patients had recurrent tumor during the follow-up. Conclusions Retroperitoneal laparoscopic can be the first choice for adrenal tumors,as it is safe and effective with minimal invasion,quick recovery,and short postoperative hospital stay.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of recipe for invigorating kidney on expression of estrogen receptors in ovariectomized rats. METHODS: The rats, which were given high-cholesterol diet after ovariectomy, were chosen as experimental subjects. After fed kidney-invigorating recipe for 16 weeks, the rats were killed and the levels of serum lipid and estradiol of these rats were examined. The expressions of estrogen receptor alpha and beta mRNAs in aorta, pituitary gland and hypothalamus, and the affinity of estrogen receptor-ligand were also detected. RESULTS: The kidney-invigorating recipe could increase the expression levels of estrogen receptor alpha and beta mRNAs in different parts such as aorta, pituitary gland and hypothalamus, and enhance the affinity of estrogen receptor-ligands. CONCLUSION: The recipe for invigorating kidney may meliorate atherosclerosis in ovariectomized rats by regulating the estrogen receptors.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of herbal desensitizer in the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity. METHODS: 126 patients with dentine hypersensitivity were enrolled: 64(a total of 172 diseased teeth) were randomly assigned to trial group to be treated with herbal desensitizer,and 62(158 diseased teeth) to control group to be treated with sodium fluoride glycerin. The clinical effects observation was scheduled immediately,3 and 6 months after the treatment. Then the results were analyzed using statistics software.RESULTS: Significant differences were found between the trial group and the control group in clinical effects (P

OBJECTIVE:To introduce the Fair PharmaCare program of BC Canada for the reference of the reform of China's medical insurance system.METHODS:The running procedure of Fair PharmaCare program of BC Canada was introduced in detail and its characteristics were analyzed.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:Fair PharmaCare program covers all BC residents and protects them against economic difficulties in pharmacare.The program serves as a reference for the reform of China's medical insurance system.

Medical morality,especially dental ethical account is usually demonstrated by ethical theories,including theory of utilitarianism,deontology,and virtue ethics.In fact,the true purpose of medical education is to produce erudite and humane practitioners and medical researchers.The present study discussed the efficacy of dental ethical educations through clinical practical issues.

Objective: To study the effectiveness of anti-tumorgenecity of human IL-10 antisense and viral IL-10 antisense on nasopharyn-geal carcinoma(NPC) cells.Methods:Human IL-10 cDNA and viral IL-10 gene had been amplifed and cloned. A two-valent eukaryotic expression vector for antisense nucleic acids of human IL-10 cDNA and viral IL-10 gene had been constructed and designated as pcDNA3/AS hIL-10 + AS vIL-10.The recombinant vector was transfected into a NPC-clerived cell strain-SUNE cells. After that, the transfected and nontransfected SUNE cells were inoculated i.d. in the right flank of SCID mice and hu-PBL-SCID mice to evaluate their tumorgenecity changes.Results:The results of ELISA analysis showed that the concentration of hIL-10 and vIL-10 was 242 ?3 pg'ml-1 in supernatant of the nontransfected SUNE cells, and onry 22 ? pg ?ml-1 of hIL-10 and vIL-10 contained in supernatant of the transfected SUNE cells. After inoculation to SCID mice, the transfected and nontransfected SUNE cell showed the same growth manner. But inoculating to hu-PBL-SCID mice, the transfected SUNE cells grew slowerly than the nontransfected SUNE cell. With statistical analysis, the size and mean weight of the tumors from the hu-PBL-SCID mice inoculated with transfected SUNE cells were significantly lower in contrast to that from the hu-PBL-SCID mice inoculated with nontransfected SUNE cells( P
