Objective To investigate the relationship of tumor malignancy with Na+ microcurrent measured by microcurrent detector in order to develop a novel approach for rapid intraoperative diagnosis of tumor.Methods 101 cases of various tumors were studied.Na+ microcurrent of tumor tissue or surrounding normal tissue was measured by Na+ microcurrent detector.All tumor tissues were sampled for histopathological examination as well.Results In 97 cases(96%),the Na+ microcurrent level in tumor tissue was significantly different from that in surrounding normal tissue.It was greater than 30?A in tumor tissue with the maximum of 60-70?A,and averagely 20?A in surrounding normal tissue.The consistency of Na+ microcurrent detection and pathological examination was 96%.Conclusion the measurement of Na+ microcurrent by microcurrent detector is rapid,convenient and accurate,which may become a novel approach for rapid intraoperative diagnosis of tumor malignancy.

Reproductive medicine,studying reproductive health of the gender,is an important branch of modern medical science.The reproductive medical education about undergraduate degree started late in China.Compared with the reproductive medical research,education has lagged apparently.The article discussed the specialty construction of reproductive medicine from necessity,construction of reproductive medicine curriculum,establishing a scientific and reasonable training plan,implementing innovative education and preparation of series of materials for reproductive medicine specialty.

Reproductive medicine is one of the most promising subjects in this century. Our country starts the education in reproductive medicine late and progress is slow.The institutions who recruit reproductive medical students adopt self-determine subjects, self-compile outline and self-compile teaching materials. As a result, the quality of teaching is affected. There is an urgent need to prepare a national high-level professional series of textbooks for reproductive medicine. The article discusses the construction of unified compiling professional series teaching materials for reproductive medicine from necessity, main ideas, compsition, principles of preparation and basic content.

BACKGROUND: Considerable studies demonstrate that nitric oxide synthase (NOS)/nitric oxide (NO)plays an important role in maintaining normal function of Sertoli cells, and influences spermatic generation and activation as well as fertilizability.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of goat testis extract on NOS activity in Sertoli cells of mice with testis injury caused by heavy mental Pb.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal trial.SETTING: Department of Histology and Embryology, Jilin Medical College.MATERIALS: This trial was carried out in the laboratory of Histology and Embryology, Jilin Medical College (Key laboratory of the general logistics department of P.L.A) during March 2004 to August 2005. Thirty healthy Kunming male mice were involved and randomized into 3 groups,with 10 in each group: control group, testis injury model group (model group) and goat testis extract-treated group (treatment group).METHODS: The mice in the model group and experimental group were daily administrated with 100 g/L lead acetate, 0.2 mL/(mouse·d), 5 times/wk within 2 weeks, then withdrawal for 1 week. Simultaneously, the mice in the treatment group were subcutaneously injected with goat testis extract at 0.5 mL/(mouse ·d). The mice in the control group were given redistilled water of the same dose as that in the treatment group. After being poisoned fully, the mice were fasted for 12 hours and weighted, finally sacrificed by decapitation. Bilateral testis were dissected, immediately weighted, fixed with formalin and sliced. The NOS changes in Sertoli cells of mice in each group were observed with reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phophate-diaphorase(NADPH-d) histochemical method combined with microscope image.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Body mass, bilateral testis mass and NOS absorbance (A) in Sertoli cells of mice in each group after contamination expiration.RESULTS: All the 30 mice were involved in the result analysis, without deletion. ①After contamination expiration, the body mass, bilateral testis mass and NOS A value in treatment group were significantly than those in the model group [(22.47±3.49) g vs. (19.13±3.46) g;(0.113±0.021 ) g vs.(0.089±0.017) g; 0.236±0.020 vs. 0.146±0.023, t=2.151-3.314,P ＜ 0.05-0.01]; ② In the model group, NOS positive Sertoli cells swelled and degenerated; The morphology of NOS positive Sertoli cells in the treatment group was close to that in the control group.CONCLUSION: Goat testis extract can boost the NOS activity in Sertoli cells of mice with testis injury caused by heavy mental pliumbum and has some repairing and protective effect on testis injury, which can provide new thinking for treatment of male sterility.

A novel method was developed for the rapid determination of multi-indicators in corni fructus by means of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) based least squares support vector machine was investigated to increase the levels of quality control. The calibration models of moisture, extractum, morroniside and loganin were established using the PSO-LS-SVM algorithm. The performance of PSO-LS-SVM models was compared with partial least squares regression (PLSR) and back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN). The calibration and validation results of PSO-LS-SVM were superior to both PLS and BP-ANN. For PSO-LS-SVM models, the correlation coefficients (r) of calibrations were all above 0.942. The optimal prediction results were also achieved by PSO-LS-SVM models with the RMSEP (root mean square error of prediction) and RSEP (relative standard errors of prediction) less than 1.176 and 15.5% respectively. The results suggest that PSO-LS-SVM algorithm has a good model performance and high prediction accuracy. NIR has a potential value for rapid determination of multi-indicators in Corni Fructus.

As an important component of worldwide injury prevention, China has made great contribution to the development. China is serving as a model for other countries in the world, especially for developing countries, and China's experiences have great implications for them. Besides the description of the present situation and trends of China's injury prevention work and review for its development history, this paper has also introduced the existing issues and the current challenges, and informed the efforts of the staff in related field to find solutions from different aspects. All of them jointly boosted the development of global injury prevention.

Because of the unique nature and treatment concept of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), TCMs have been respected again since 70s of last century. The regulatory agencies of some developed countries (the FDA, EMA and Health Canada etc) have published new guidance/guidelines/directives in recent years, such as the botanical drug product guidance of the FDA, the evidence for quality of finished natural health products guidance of the Health Canada and the guideline on quality of herbal medicinal products/ traditional herbal medicinal products of the EMA etc. All of the regulatory agencies are willing to scientifically evaluate the herbal medicines and accept it as therapeutic product. This paper analyzed the history of herbal medicine regulation and the similarities and differences of the regulatory requirements of the European Union, the United States and Canada, proposed possible future direction of the international development of Chinese medicine from the perspective of global regulatory affairs.

The precise resection and suture of bronchia, vascular and pulmonary tissue are the key techniques in thoracic surgery. Mechanical suture technique has gradually become a routine operation in thoracic surgery. However, at present, there is still a lack of consensus and guidelines on the application of this technique in thoracic surgery, neither strong evidence-based medical support. In this study, we discuss the application standard of mechanical suture technique in thoracoscopic surgery, irregular treatment techniques, intraoperative complications, and management principles to promote the standardized application of mechanical suture technique. We also explain the shortcomings of the technique in order to promote the further improvement and perfection.
