Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2014;(8):778-781
The medical curriculum which is designed reasonable, plays a decisive role in the training specifications and quality of medical talents. The medical education in England is always in the world first column, and its medical curriculum is distinctive. The courses are mostly offered by the form of integration. They pay more attention to the setup of selective courses, humanities and social sciences courses, and they also put emphasis on the early clinical contact and early scientific research training. In addition, they are also outstanding in practice and internship. There is much beneficial enlightenment for our country's course reform from the British medical curriculum design, namely to establish integration courses which is interdisciplinary, to strengthen the humanistic quality's cultiva-tion, to advocate early clinical contact and early scientific research, and to strengthen cooperation and coordination between medical colleges and social organizations in all aspects.

Objective To apply fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) in sorting natural killer (NK) cells from human peripheral blood. The efficiency of these two methods were compared so that the basic conditions for the further study on the lower proportion of peripheral blood cells could be created. Methods Twenty cases of normal peripheral blood and 3 cases of post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (post-HSCT) were collected and NK cell were sorted by FACS and MACS. Results Before sorting the normal peripheral blood, the proportion of the NK cell in the leukocyte was (12.86±3.62) %, the purity of NK cell was up to (96.15±2.03) % and the recovery was (95.08±2.16) %after sorting by FACS, the purity was up to (93.35±3.61) % and the recovery was (94.11±3.01) % by MACS.And before sorting the post-HSCT peripheral blood, the proportion of the NK cell in the leukocyte was (11.01±2.08) %, the purity of NK cell was up to (96.22±2.16) % and the recovery was (95.27±1.18) % after sorting by FACS. The purity was up to (90.98±1.94) % and the recovery was (94.54±3.52) % by MACS. Thereis difference in purity of NK cell (t = 5.925, P <0.05), while no difference in rate of recovery between 2methods (t = 0.789, P >0.05). Conclusion FACS is more efficient, rapidly and easily than MACS in sorting NK cell, especially for post-HSCT cases.

Objective To investigate the dangers of heart failure to the mother and fetal,and the diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy complicated with heart failure. Methods The clinical data of the causes,timing,management and outcomes of 87 cases of pregnant women complicated with heart failure from March 1993 to January 2006 were analyzed retrospectively. Results ①Thirty-one cases(35.6%) of heart failure in pregnancy were caused by rheumatic heart disease,26(29.9%) by pregnancy-induced hypertension(PIH),16(18.4%) by congenital heart disease,and 14(16.1%) by peripartum cardiomyopathy.②The heart failure appeared at the average of(32.69?5.57) weeks.③The average terminal time of pregnancy was(34.66?4.52) weeks.④There were 79 newborns with 6 cases of twins,and the perinatal mortality was 8.6%(8 cases).Hysterotomy was performed in 6 cases in mid-pregnancy.The average weight of babies was(2419.56?786.08) g.⑤The maternal mortality was 6.9%(6 cases).(Conclusion The main) causes of heart failure in pregnancy are rheumatic heart disease,PIH and congenital heart disease.Although the standard management of pregnancy complicated with heart failure is inotropic agents,diurectics and vasodilators,the treatment should be individualized according to the specific etiology and with the consideration of the safety of fetus as well.Pinpointing the causes of heart failure in pregnant patients and treating accordingly may be conducive to reduce the maternal and perinatal mortality.

Objective To evaluate the changes and clinical significance of CD+4CDHi25CDLo127 regulatory T cell(Treg) in peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer. Methods 30 patients with lung cancer and 20 heathy volunteers were included in this study. The proportion of Treg population in CD4+ T cells stained with three colors was analysed by flow cytometry. The serum level of IL-10 and TGF-β were measured by ELISA. Results The proportion of Treg in patients with squamous cell careinoma(n=20), adenocarcinoma (n=10) were all significantly higher than that of healthy controls (P <0.05), but there was not obvious difference between the two groups with different pathological types(P0.05). Increased serum level of IL-10 and TGF-β was also detected in lung cancer patients. Conclusion The proportion of Treg is increased in lung cancer patients, which may result in the inhibition of host anti-cancer immune response by excreting IL-10 and TGF-β.

Objective To investigate the effects of anti-parkinsonian drugs on cytokines(IL-6 and TNF-?) produced by PBMC in PD patients. Methods 25 subjects were divided into 3 groups : normal controls(NC),pergolide and Madopar treated PD patients(P+M group),Madopar treated PD patients(M group). PBMC were cultured in the presence of pure RPMI-1640,RPMI-1640 with ConA and RPMI-1640 with pergolide,respectively. The amount of IL-6 and TNF-? in the culture media was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results IL-6 production amount by PBMC when stimulated with ConA was significantly lower in group P+M and M than in group NC( P 0.05). In group P+M,the concentration of TNF-? was significantly higher in the presence of ConA than in the presence of pure RPMI-1640 and in the presence of pergolide( P 0.05). Conclusions The ability of amount by PBMC of PD elderly patients to excrete IL-6 was significantly decreased in the presence of ConA. Pergolide might arise the excretion of IL-6 by PBMC during the treatment process of PD and at the same time does not arise the excretion of TNF-?,which might be neurotoxic.
