Objective To evaluate the effect of the hyperbaric oxygenation therapy on the apoptosis of the hippocampal neuron and the impairment of cognitive function of the newborn rats suffering from bilirubin encephalopathy. Methods One hundred and forty-five five-day-old SD rats of both sex were randomly divided into 3 groups,control group,bilirubin encephalopathy group and hyperbaric oxygenation treated group. Bilirubin ( 10 mg/ml) was injected into the cerebellomedullary cistern to establish experiment model,and normal sodium was injected for control. The expression of cytochrome C and Caspase-3 in the hippocampus neurons were detected by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence,respectively,at the time of 6 h,1,3,5 d and 7 d after intra-cisternal injection. Neuronal apoptosis was checked by TUNEL method. The cognitive function was tested by Morris experiment. Results The expressions of the cytochrome C and Caspase-3 in hyperbaric oxygenation treated group were lower than those in bilirubin encephalopathy group,but higher than control group at abovementioned time points ( P

Objective:To understand the current situation about pre-registered medical practitioner's ineligible practice from a legal point of view and provides references forthe Law of Medical Practitioners.Methods:The sur-vey is based on cluster sampling method which centralized the selected large clinical teaching hospitals which have launched the standardized residents training.The research is focused in Beijing and involves three kinds of people in-cluding the pre-registered medical practitioners, clinical teaching teachers and health administrators.The descriptive statistics and the Comparison rates between groups by chi-square test rates were adopted.Meanwhile, the 764 medi-cal malpractice cases from the past three years were analyzed in the Courts of the People of Haidian and the Beijing Chaoyang Districts.Results:The clinical trainees“pre-registration” made illegal situations such as independent vis-its, finding a single worker on duty, independent patient disposal, invasive technology's independent operation, inde-pendently writing the medical records, and the absence of tutors on the supervision sites.All of these mischiefs en-hanced the occurrence of medical disputes.Suggestions: Based on the current situation, it is necessary to establish the legal qualifications for the“pre-registered” trainees engaged in the accredited clinical work legislation, physician qualification examination, and in so many angles.Proposing solutions based on legal issues about “the practitioner guidance” should also be efficient.

A reference system for the completed blood count (CBC) have been established in National Center for Clinical Laboratory (NCCL) according to the standards published by International Council for Standardization in Hematology (ICSH) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in order to calibrate hematology analyzer.The contents of our study mainly include:(1)Establishment of calibration laboratory for CBC, which is the first calibration laboratory accepted by China National Accreditation Board for Laboratories in all medical laboratories.(2)We firstly set up the reference method for CBC in China. In addition, the data between NCCL and a foreign reference laboratory have been compared. (3)We have calibrated some instruments from routine laboratories by the fresh blood or calibrator valuated by the reference system, which acts as a new way to calibrate hematology analyzer.(4) A secondary standard assay system has been established and the data between it and the foreign reference laboratory have been compared chronically. The experience has been introduced to local laboratories in 26 provinces.(5) We have drafted out several documents about technical standard for laboratory medicine. The main institution of applications includes: local center for clinical laboratory, clinical laboratories for routine examination, institutions for identification to instruments and reagents, centers for disease control and prevention, and so on.

As confusion mounts over RNA isoforms involved in phenotypic plasticity, aberrant CpG methylation-mediated disruption of alternative splicing is increasingly recognized as a driver of intratumor heterogeneity (ITH). Protease serine 3 (PRSS3), possessing four splice variants (PRSS3-SVs; PRSS3-V1-V4), is an indispensable trypsin that shows paradoxical effects on cancer development. Here, we found that PRSS3 transcripts and their isoforms were divergently expressed in lung cancer, exhibiting opposing functions and clinical outcomes, namely, oncogenic PRSS3-V1 and PRSS3-V2 versus tumor-suppressive PRSS3-V3, by targeting different downstream genes. We identified an intragenic CpG island (iCpGI) in PRSS3. Hypermethylation of iCpGI was mediated by UHRF1/DNMT1 complex interference with the binding of myeloid zinc finger 1 (MZF1) to regulate PRSS3 transcription. The garlic-derived compound diallyl trisulfide cooperated with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine to exert antitumor effects in lung adenocarcinoma cells through site-specific iCpGI demethylation specifically allowing MZF1 to upregulate PRSS3-V3 expression. Epigenetic silencing of PRSS3-V3 via iCpGI methylation (iCpGIm) in BALF and tumor tissues was associated with early clinical progression in patients with lung cancer but not in those with squamous cell carcinoma or inflammatory disease. Thus, UHRF1/DNMT1-MZF1 axis-modulated site-specific iCpGIm regulates divergent expression of PRSS3-SVs, conferring nongenetic functional ITH, with implications for early detection of lung cancer and targeted therapies.
