Objectives To explore the effect of the standardized residents training method on intern teaching in department of respiratory. Methods Sixty interns of Grade 2010 from the Second Military Medical School were randomly divided into 2 groups with 30 interns each. The traditional teaching method was adopted in control group, while the standardized residents training method was used in experiment group. When the rotating internship was finished in department of respiratory, the survey of satisfaction about teaching and the assessment of teaching effect were performed in two groups. The contents of examination included academic knowledge exam, clinical skills test, basic skills test and comprehensive quality assessment. Results There was no difference between two groups in academic knowledge exam (P>0.05). The total scores, clinical skills scores and basic skills scores of experiment group were higher than those of control group (P<0.05). And, higher satisfaction was ac-quired in experiment group(P<0.05). Conclusions Using the standardized residents training method can improve the effect of the intern teaching and teaching satisfaction and it can be widely applied in intern teaching.

Objective: To observe the therapeutical effect of intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) on pulmonary edema after seawater drowning in rabbits.Methods:Fourteen seawater lavage induced pulmonary edema New Zealand rabbits models were assigned to receive IPPV treatment.Blood gas analysis, pulmodynamics, hemodynamics status and serum tumor necrosis factor(TNF ?) were monitored at various time points.After 3 h ventilation rabbits of each group were killed to gain lung tissues for pathology examination, and lung lavage fluid was analyzed to count leukocytes.Results:PaO 2 significantly increased after the use of ventilation in pulmonary edema rabbits models ( P

Objective To explore the effect of curcumine on the inflammation and expression of single immunoglobin IL-1 receptor related protein in alveolar epithelial cells induced by lipopolysacharride (LPS).Methods The rat type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells were cultured in vitro,and cell activity was measured when stimulated with LPS and different doses of curcumin.The level of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in supematant was detected.Cells pretreated with curcumin (20 μmol/L),were stimulated with LPS (10 μg/mL).The nuclear protein and membrane protein was extracted to detect the expression level of nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NF-κB) and single immunoglobin IL-1 receptor related protein (SIGIRR).Results The cells activities were not affected by curcumin (5 ～30 pμmol/L) and LPS (10 μg/mL) (P ＜ 0.05).Curcumin (5 ～30 μ mol/L) significantly inhibited LPS-induced overpression of TNF-α and IL-6 (P ＜ 0.05).In 20 μ mol/L and 30 μ mol/L pretreatment groups,the inhibition of curcumin was most obvious,and there were no significant differences between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Curcumin (20 μ mol/L) significantly inhibited the expression level of phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 in cell nucleus,while up-regulated the expression of SIGIRR (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Curcumin inhibits the expression of inflammatory factor such as TNF-α and IL-6 as well as activation of NF-κB in alveolar epithelial cells induced by LPS.Up-regulating the expression level of negative regulatory molecules SIGIRR is one of the possible mechanism.

Objective In previous study,we carried out refined mapping of loss of heterzygosity (LOH) on 1q31.1-32.1 and found that a minimal region of frequent deletion was located at DIS413-D1S2622,which indicated that the region could harbor a tumor suppressor gene associated with colorectal carcinoma.This study was to screen for the potential tumor suppressor gene (TSG) on D1S413-D1S2622 in Chinese origin patients with sporadic colorectal cancer.Methods 25 genes located in the D1S413-D1S2622 region were chosen and a microarray-based high throughput screening conducted in 19 sporadic colorectal cancers to identify candidate tumor suppressor genes.The relationship between expression levels of candidate genes and the clinicopathological data was analyzed.Real-time PCR was performed to validate the microarray results.Results According to the microarray-based high throughput screening,we found 4 significantly down-expressed genes,including CSRP1,LMOD1,PPP1R12B and CFHL3.There was no significant association between of CFHL3,CSRP1,LMOD1,PPP1R12B expression and the clinicopathological data.CSRP1 could be a colorectal cancer related tumor suppressor gene.CSRP1 was down-regulated in colorectal cancer.Conclusions CSRP1 might be involved in the progression of colorectal cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the identification rate of separating gel or HB&L pretreatment methods of MALDI-TOF-MS, thereby to provide a new idea for the rapid and accurate identification of pathogens of bloodstream infections in daily clinic practice.Methods:A total of 149 alarmed positive blood culture samples of single bacterial infection by routine laboratory methods were collected between January to December 2020 from the Sixth Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital. Samples were pretreated with the separation gel accelerating tube method or the HB&L microbial culture system, followed by direct MALDI-TOF MS bacterial identification, the identification rates of the two pretreatment methods were compared and results from the traditional method were used as the standard control.Results:Among the 149 positive blood culture samples, 47.0% (70/149) were gram-negative (G -) bacteria and 53.0% (79/149) were gram-positive (G +) bacteria. Identification rate of G -strain level was 78.6% (55/70) by serum separation gel coagulation tube method and 91.4% (64/70) by HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.033). Identification rate of G +strain levels was 73.4% (58/79) by serum separation gel coagulation tube method and 87.3% (69/79) by HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.028). For G -bacteria in the range of 3.000-2.300, the identification rate was 22.9% (16/70) by serum separation gel accelerating tube method and 38.6% (27/70) by the HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.044). For G +bacteria in the range of 3.000-2.300, the identification rate was 19.0% (15/79) by serum separation gel accelerating tube method and 34.2% (27/79) by the HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.031). Conclusion:The identification rate of HB&L microbial culture system is higher than that of serum separation gel coagulation tube method. Direct MALDI-TOF MS identification of pathogenic bacteria in positive blood culture samples after pretreatment is feasible in daily clinical practice.

0.05). After ventilation with 6ml/kg tidal volumes, the TNF-? in alveolar lavage fluid (1.58?0.56pg/ml) was significantly lower in b1 group compared with that in control group (1.73?0.81pg/ml, P

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of video bronchoscope-guide transbronchial needle aspiration(TBNA) combined with transbronchial lung biopsy(TBLB) on pulmonary sarcoidosis.Methods Twenty-two patients,definitely diagnosed as stage Ⅰ pulmonary sarcoidosis,were enrolled into the study and accepted TBNA and TBLB.Results The positive diagnostic rates of TBNA and TBLB were 63.6%(14/22) and 40.9%(9/22),but the rate increased to 90.9%(20/22) when the two methods were used together,which showed significant differences(x2=12.24,4.66,P＜0.01 or ＜0.05).Conclusion TBNA combined TBLB test is a safety method with high diagnostic accuracy for pulmonary sarcoidosis.

To investigate the roles of apoptosis and the Fas system (Fas, Fas ligand, soluble Fas) in the process of liver cirrhosis (LC) converting into hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), expression of Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) in 49 LC and 36 HCC samples was detected by immunohistochemical method. Apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) method. Serum soluble Fas (sFas) levels in 28 cases of LC and 27 cases of HCC were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Compared with LC, apoptotic indices (AI) in HCC tissues were significantly reduced (P<0.001), expression of Fas was decreased (P<0.05), and that of FasL was increased (P<0.05). Serum sFas levels in HCC patients were significantly higher than those in normal controls. Down-regulation of Fas expression, up-regulation of FasL expression in hepatocytes and elevation of sFas level in serum might contribute to tumor escape from immune surveillance of the body. Apoptosis and the Fas system are significantly involved in the process of liver cirrhosis converting into hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the status of invasive fungal infection(IFI)associated with hematopathy,and evaluate drug resistance and risk factors of fungal infection.Methods 1 246 cases of infection occurred in patients in a hospital from 2006 to 2010 were analyzed retrospectively,pathogenic features and risk factors of IFI were ana-lyzed.Results There were 281 cases of fungal infection,and 162 fungal isolates were isolated,the main infection site was respiratory tract(134 isolates,82.72%).Four major Candida were Candida albicans ,Candida tropicalis , Candida glabrata ,and Candida krusei ;in 2006-2009,the main fungi were Candida albicans ,while in 2010,the majority were non-Candida albicans .The resistant rates of four isolated Candida to fluconazole and itraconazole were 5.15% and 4.41 % respectively,6 isolated Candida krusei strains were all resistant to both fluconazole and itraconazole,voriconazole-resistant strain was not found.The independent risk factors for fungal infection were dia-betes and duration time of agranulocytosis>14 days.Conclusion The proportion of infection caused by non-Candi-da albicans increased obviously,fluconazole-and itraconazole-resistant non-Candida albicans strains have emerged, comprehensive measures should be adopted to prevent IFI actively and treat patients early.

AIM: To investigate the significance and function of IFN-γ on the changes of peripheral blood platelet count during tumor-rejection induced by a low dose of melphalan in C57BL/6 mice. METHODS: Mouse tumor rejection model induced by a single dose of melphalan was used in this experiment. Different gene-type tumor-bearing mice (IFN-γ~(+/-) and IFN-γ~(-/-)), which had the same genetic background of C57BL/6, were treated intraperitoneally with melphalan (7.5 mg/kg). Tumor size was observed and recorded every one to three days in these different gene-type mice subsequently. Blood samples were obtained from orbital venous sinus on different days before and after melphalan treatment, and then complete blood counts were performed. The function of IFN-γ on the efficacy of chemotherapy and the changes of blood platelet count in IFN-γ~(+/-) and IFN-γ~(-/-) mice after melphalan treatment was analyzed. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in tumor sizes and blood platelet count between IFN-γ~(-/-) and IFN-γ~(+/-) mice (P>0.05). On the first day after melphalan (7.5 mg/kg) treatment, there were no significant changes in tumor sizes between mice in these two groups (P>0.05). Tumors shrank a little in IFN-γ~(-/-) mice and then grew gradually. Tumors relapsed in 2 w after melphalan injection in all IFN-γ~(-/-) mice, while tumor volumes decreased progressively and tumor cured at last in IFN-γ~(+/-) mice. The number of blood PLT in IFN-γ~(+/-) mice increased to (1935±378)×10~9/L 6 h after melphalan treatment, significantly higher than before (P<0.01); While in IFN-γ~(-/-) mice it was (1183±186)×10~9/L 6 h after melphalan treatment, no obvious increase than before. There was significant difference in blood PLT 6 h after melphalan treatment between IFN-γ~(+/-) and IFN-γ~(-/-) mice (P<0.01). Later, the numbers of blood PLT in IFN-γ~(+/-) mice decreased gradually and it dropped to normal (1158±270)×10~9/L on 11th day after melphalan treatment (P>0.05); While it sustained in normal range in IFN-γ~(-/-) mice. There was no significant difference in blood platelet count between IFN-γ~(-/-) and IFN-γ~(+/-) mice. CONCLUSION: Peripheral blood platelet count increased on the first day after melphalan treatment and tumors cured in IFN-γ~(+/-) mice; While tumors relapsed and there is no increase in blood platelet count on the first day after melphalan treatment in IFN-γ~(-/-)mice. These data indicated that the increase of blood PLT count was related to the function of IFN-γ in tumor-bearing mice in vivo during tumor rejection induced by a low dose of melphalan.
