The writing of vocational college thesis is the maln way to test whether the students are able to analyze and solve practical problems with the professional knowledge and skills they've learnt, as well as improve the capability of production and practice. This paper analyzes the present situation of the thesis written by higher vocational college students majoring in pharmaceutical sci-ences, and figures out the four kinds of evaluation standards about graduation thesis for students in various pharmaceutical fields with different problems. The four kinds of evaluation standards includes key point analysis on Standard Operation Procedure (SOP), planning strategy for pharmaceutical mar-keting, investigation of rational use of drugs in hospitals and subject research. The author puts forward the solving method for the problem, and formulate the evaluation requirements.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of nutrition protection on oxidation damage of the submarine men.
METHODS50 submarine men were randomly divided into test group and control group, 25 persons each. The test group member took VitB2 5 mg, VitC 200 mg, GPC capsule 50 mg, once every other day and VitA capsules 25 000 units for every week during the sea-voyage. The total anti-oxidative capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), the proliferation of peripheral-blood lymphocyte (PPL), the hemolytic degree of RBC and IFN-gamma were detected.
RESULTSBefore sea voyage, the difference in the T-AOC and SOD and PPL and IFN-gamma and the MDA content and the hemolytic degree of RBC between the test group and the control group were not significant (P>0.05). After sea voyage, the T-AOC and SOD and PPL and IFN-gamma in the test group [(24.08 +/- 0.10) U/ml, (44.85 +/- 0.96) U/ml, (0.29 +/- 0.05) (with H2O2), (0.34 +/- 0.04) (without H2O2) and (34.21 +/- 3.52) pg/ml] were higher than the control group [(21.06 +/- 1.10) U/ml, (42.80 +/- 1.46) nu/ml, (0.23 +/- 0.01) (with H2O2), (0.34 +/- 0.04) (without H2O2) and (31.89 +/- 3.52) pg/ml]. The MDA content and the hemolytic degree of RBC [(2.15 +/- 0.28) nmol/ml and (20.96% +/- 0.10%)] were lower than the control group [(2.44 +/- 0.32) nmol/ml and (23.12% +/- 0.77%)]. The difference was significant (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONTo add antioxidant nutrients can improve the submarine men's antioxidant capacity.

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of nephron-sparing surgery (NSS)for selective T2 stage renal tumor.Methods The surgical database of 26 patients treated with NSS for clinical T2 stage renal cell carcinomas between March 2010 and May 2013 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.There were 17 males and 9 females,with a mean age of 52 years (39-74 years),mean tumor size of 10.3 cm(7.2-16.5 cm),and mean R.E.N.A.L score of 7.5 (6-10).Patients'demographics,clinical characteristics,oncologic outcomes,renal function were reviewed.Results The renal masses were removed successfully and the surgical margins were negative.There were 21 (80.8%) cases of clear cell carcinoma,4 (15.4%) papillary carcinoma and 1 (3.8%) chromophobe carcinoma.The mean ischemia time was (28.3 ± 12.5) minutes (7 patients were clamp-free).Three patients needed transfusion,one experienced urine fistula and cured by conservative treatment,and one patient's renal function got progressive worsening and required long-term hemodialysis.The average serum creatinine was 121 μ mol/L before and 136 μmol/L after surgery (P =0.06).After a period of 22-47 months' follow-up,no patient had local recurrence or metastasis.Conclusions NSS can be safely performed and provide effective oncologic outcomes for selective patients with clinical T2 stage renal cell carcinomas.R.E.N.A.L nephrometry is an important factor and should be used to evaluate the feasibility of NSS.

Objective: To investigate the efifcacy of supplemental walking training in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) combining heart failure (HF) under routine medication.
Methods: A total of 80 patients with CAD combining HF were randomly divided into 2 groups: Exercise group,n=40 including 25 male and 15 female at (61.2 ± 9.8) years of age, the patients received additional six-minute walking exercise training based on routine medication and Control group,n=40 including 26 male and 14 female at (58.1 ± 10.9) years of age, the patients received routine medication. All patients were treated for 3 months. Plasma levels of BNP and general conditions at before and after the treatment were compared between 2 groups.
Results:①After 3 months treatment, both groups had signiifcantly improved LVESD, LVEDD, LVEF, plasma levels of BNP and six-minute walk test (except LVESD and LVEDD in Control group), allP<0.05.②Compared with Control group, Exercise group showed obviously improved LVEF, plasma level of BNP and six-minute walk test, allP<0.05.
Conclusion: Walking training may increase the exercise tolerance, which is beneifcial to recover the cardiac function in patients with CAD combining HF in addition to routine medication .

Objective To investigate the effect of curcumin an extract of a Chinese medical herb on the sensitivity of CD133 + rectal cancer cells to radiotherapy.Methods In vitro experiments:CD133 +cells were purified with immunomagnetic beads from HRT-18 cell line and divided into curcumin group,radiotherapy group and curcumin plus radiotherapy group.MTT assay and Annexin V/PI staining were used to measure the proliferation and apoptosis of the cells.In vivo experiments:Transplanted rectal tumor was established in 46 nude mice and randomly divided into curcumin group,radiotherapy group and curcumin plus radiotherapy group.Tumor size and apoptosis were detected by daily observation and TUNEL staining respectively.Results Curcumin inhibited proliferation and apoptosis of CD133 + rectal cancer cells when combined with radiotherapy.It also significantly increased the growth inhibition of rectal tumor and promoted the apoptosis of rectal cancer in vivo.MTT assay showed that after 24 hours,compared with that of radiotherapy group(14.6% ± 1.0%),curcumin plus radiotherapy group (18.7% ± 1.7%) inhibited the growth of the tumor(P < 0.01).Annexin V/PI showed that curcumin plus radiotherapy group (28.8% ±3.7%) was significantly different from the radiotherapy group(13.1% ± 1.4%) in cell apoptosis (P <0.01).In vivo,after 6 days,tumor volume (521 ± 79) mm3 in curcumin plus radiotherapy group was significantly lower than that of radiotherapy group(717 ± 134) mm3 (P < 0.01) ; TUNEL staining results indicated that the RCST in curcumin plus radiotherapy group (26.1% ± 3.3%) were higher than that in radiotherapy group (12.0% ± 2.1%) (P < 0.01).Conclusions Curcumin significantly enhances the radiosensitizing effect for CD133 + rectal cancer cells.

9.Progress in microglia cell development and its function in central nervous system
Chinese Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology 2017;31(11):1050-1056
Microglia are a type of immune cells and widely distributed in the central nervous system(CNS), accounting for about 5% to 20% of the total number of glial cells. Microglia were first identified by Hortega using the silver carbonate method.It is believed that microglia originate from the mesoderm and invade the brain during the formation of blood vessels in the late embryonic development.Recent research shows that microglia are derived from yolk sac-derived macrophages. As a resident immune cell of the CNS,microglia belong to the monocyte-macrophage cell line and are an important immuno-logical defense against the invasion of pathogens. The resting microglia play a role in monitoring the nervous system to maintain the homeostasis.The activated microglia play a role in phagocytosis of cell debris and have neuroprotective and neurotoxic dual roles under different pathological conditions by secreting different cytokines.
