After trained on simulator repeatedly, the mean test score was 85. 57±4. 64 points. There was statistically significant difference ( P<0. 01) . During the third stage of practicing on animal eyes, the score was 89. 77 ± 7. 61 points, there was statistically significant difference compared with former two stages (P<0. 05).CONCLUSlON: Comprehensive training can improve microsurgical skills of junior ophthalmologist, but the long effect need to be observed.

Sleep disorders are commonly occurred among patients with Parkinson's disease,such as difficulties in the initiation of sleep,fragmented sleep,sleep behavior disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness.The mechanism of sleep disorders associated with Parkinson's disease is not clear,which may be associated with the injury of brain stem,nuclei of median raphe,nuclei fasciculi solitarii,thalamencephalon and the changes of neurotransmitters as dopamine,hypocretin(orexin) and melatonin.This article gives an overview of the mechanism of sleep disorders associated with Parkinson's disease.

BACKGROUND:Metabolic characteristics of the 800 meters race is not very clear, which creates a lot of obstacles for the exercise training of 800 meters race. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics of material and energy metabolism of 800 meters race, to improve the scientific training of the 800 meters race and to verify the feasibility of nuclear magnetic resonance-based urine metabonomics in sports training monitoring. METHODS: Seven middle distance athletes were subject to an 800 meters race at ultimate intensity, and their urine metabonomics analysis was conducted in combination with the Human Metabolism Database and other databases before and after exercise. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:OPLS-DA model showed that the metabolic samples before and after movement presented the cluster-like distribution. The change was mainly caused by the folowing metabolites, including leucine, lactic acid, creatinine, succinic acid, hypoxanthine, and adenosine. Through the analysis we could infer that the 800 meters race is a sport event mainly dependent on glycolysis for energy supply, working together with raw phosphate and aerobic oxidation for energy supply. The amino acid metabolism and methane metabolism of the athletes were more vigorous after 800 meters running, and moreover, there were certain oxidative stress during the 800 meters race. These findings indicate that nuclear magnetic resonance-based urine metabonomics takes the advantages of invasive, high sensitivity, less sample requirement, simple processing.

Objective To analyze the distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype in the diseases associated with HPV infection and explore the role of HPV genotype in these diseases. Methods Retrospective analysis was carried out to compare HPV genotypes of 353 outpatients suffering the diseases associated with HPV infection including cervical caner,cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN),genital duc condyloma,and subclinical cervical human papillomavirus infection (SPI) in our department from January to October 2008. HybriMax were used to detect HPV genotype. The distribution data of HPV genotype were statistically analyzed. Results Totally 176 HPV positive females were found with a positive rate of 49.86%. HPV positive rate in cervical cancer was 100%,and all of them were high risk HPV. The positive rate was increased with the severity of CIN,and the higher histological-grade was,the higher HPV positive rate was (P

OBJECTIVETo explore action mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) at "Fenglong" (ST 40) for treatment of hyperlipidemia.

METHODSForty SPF-grade SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group (group A), a model group (group B), a model diet-control group (group C), a model + EA group (group D) and model diet-control + EA group (group E), 8 cases in each one. The rats in group A were fed with normal diet continuously while those in the rest 4 groups were fed with high-fat diet to establish hyperlipidemia model. Afterwards, the rats in group C and group E were fed with normal diet, while EA at "Fenglong" (ST 40) was applied in group D and group E, 30 min per time, once a day. After 28 days of treatment, macrophage was collected in each group. Oil red O-staining was applied to detect the formation of foam cells, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISE) was adopted to measure the contents of total cholesterol (TC) in macrophage and analyze the rate of cholesterol efflux.

RESULTSThe counts of positive cells of oil red O-staining and the contents of TC in the group B, group C and group D were significantly increased compared with those in the group A (all P < 0.01). The counts of positive cells and contents of TC in the group C, group D and group E were significantly clecreased compared with those in the group B (all P < 0.01), and the decline in group D was more obvious than that in the group C (all P < 0.01). Compared with group C and group D, the counts of positive cells and contents of TC in the group E was obviously decreased (all P < 0.01), which was not statistically different from group A (P > 0.05). In the meantime, compared with group C, the rate of cholesterol efflux in group D and group E was significantly increased (both P < 0.01), and the rise in group E was more obvious than that in the group D.

CONCLUSIONThe electroacupuncture at "Fenglong" (ST 40) could significantly prohibit the transformation of macrophage into foam cell and increase rate of cholesterol efflux in macrophage, which could prevent and reverse the formation of foam cell and play an essential role in treating hyperlipidemia and stopping it from developing into a further level.

Objective To study the expressions of erythmpoietin(EPO)and its receptors(EPOR)in the injured brain tissue ofthe rats with traumatic brain injury(TBI).Methods A total of78 SD rats were randomly divided into three groups including control group(six rats),sham group(36rats) and fluid percussion injury group(36 rats).The rats were sacrificed at 6,24 hours,3,5,7 and 14days after TBI in the sham group and the fluid percussion injury group(six rats at each time point).Then,the injured brain tissues were removed for observation of the mRNA and protein expressions of EPO and EPOR by meaDiB of real-time PCR and Western blot. Results The expression of EPO was increased at 24 hours and reached the peak at day 3 after TBI.The hish expression level of EPO could maintain for two days or so.began to decrease at day 7 and recovered to normal at day 14 after Till.While the expression of EPOR reached the peak at 24 hours after TBI and maintained hish level at day14. Conclusions The expressions of EPO and EPOR show increase within 24 hours after TBI.In fact,the expressions of both factors are not in consistency,with more transient expression of EPO.

Objective To study the changes of endothelin,nitric oxide and vascular endothelial growth factor level in patients with type 2 diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods Eighty diabetes patients (53 with diabetic retinopathy and 27 without). Another 30 healthy volunteers were recruited as control. Plasma ET and VEGF levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. NO levels were measured by nitrate reductase method. Results Plasma levels of ET were higher in patients with type 2 diabetes with DR (DR)(80. 68 ± 13.57) mg/L than (65. 33 ± 11.24) mg/L, (45.25 ±9. 06) mg/L, in control and in type 2 diabetes patients without DR (NDR) (Ps ＜ 0, 01 ). Plasna levels of NO in DR group (69. 82 ± 14. 89) μmol/L were higher than (37. 85 ±-9. 11 ) μmol'L, in control group,but lower than (77.52 ±± 18.56) μmol/L in NDR group (Ps ＜ 0. 05 ). Plasma levels of VEGF ( 110. 52 ± 25.65 ) μg/L in DR were significantly increased compared with control (82.42 ± 18. 47 ) μg/L, and NDR(97.55 ±25.61)μg/L, (Ps ＜0.05).Conclusion ET, NO and VEGF may be involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetic retinopathy.

Objective To observe the changes of respiratory and hemodynamic functions in children with different age undergoing laparoscopic Nissen's fundoplication(LNF). Methods Thirty-three children with LNF were divided into three groups according to the age: group Ⅰ,1 to 12 months,n=13;group Ⅱ,1 to 3 years old,n=10;and group Ⅲ,4 to 7 years,n=10.Heart rate(HR),mean arterial pressure,Ppeak,compliance of the respiratory system(CRS) and end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure(PETCO2) were recorded 5 min before pneumoperitoneum(T0),10 min(T1),60 min(T2) after pneumoperitoneum and 10 min after deflation(T3),and parameters of blood gas analysis such as PaCO2 were measured at the same time. Results Compared with those at T0,HR,Ppeak,PETCO2 and the difference between PaCO2 and PETCO2(Pa-ETCO2)were significantly increased at T1 and T2,while CRS was significantly decreased.The most significant changes were found in group Ⅰ. Conclusion The changes of respiratory and hemodynamic functions are observed in children undergoing LNF,and anesthesia management should be enhanced for those within 1 to 12 months old who experience the most significant changes.
