Clinical practice course during the physical diagnosis studying is very important for the medical undergraduate students. It’s a bridge between the medical basic knowledge and clinical work. Several aspects such as moral education,learning attitude,scientific schedule,mas-tering the basic medical knowledge and physical examination,typical case and communicating skill must be emphasized in the clinical practice course.

Objective To explore the effect of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline on headshakes behavior and levels of monoamine neurotransmitter in model rats with Tourette syndrome.Methods 40 Wistar rats were randomly divided into DOI-induced head-shakes rats (HSR group),haloperidol group,rhynchophylline group and isorhynchophylline group with 10 in each group.The inhibitory effects of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline were estimated by observing the HSR behavior.Dopamine (DA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) in the rat striatum were detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.The 5-HT2A receptor mRNA expression in prefrontal lobe cortex of the rats was measured by real-time PCR.Results Compared with HSR group,the head shakes of the rats in haloperidol group and isorhynchophylline group were significantly decreased(P＜0.01),and no change of head-shakes number was observed in rhynchophylline group (P＞0.05).There was no significant difference of head-shakes number between the haloperidol group and isorhynchophylline group(P＞0.05).Compared with HSR group,DA levels in the rat striatum were significantly decreased in isorhynchophylline group and haloperidol group((152.35± 5.80) μ~L vs (111.19±4.30) μg/L,(152.35±5.80) μg/L vs (126.42±3.17) μg/L,P＜0.01),while DA levels in the rat striatum in rhynchophylline group were not changed ((152.35±5.80) μg/L vs (142.71±5.51) μg/L,P＞0.05).There was no significant change of 5-HT2A receptor mRNA expression in rat prefrontal lobe cortex in every group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Isorhynchophylline may have an inhibitory effect on rats with DOI-induced HSR.Isorhynchophylline may decrease the DA levels in the rat stratum with DOI-induced HSR.Rhynchophylline has no significant inhibitory effect on head-shakes behavior and DA levels in the rat stratum with DOI-induced HSR.

Objective To assess the effects of Guanxinshutong capsule(GXST)on protection of left ventricular(LV)function after acute myocardial infarction(AMI)in rats.Methods Twenty-eight male Sprague Dawley rats were randomized to Model group,Drug group and Sham-operated group,with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)achieved by ligating coronary artery in Model and Drug groups.From one week before surgery to four weeks after surgery,GXST for Drug group(1.5 g/kg,2 times/day)or saline for Model and Sham-operated groups was administered via direct gastric gavage.After four weeks of treatment following surgery,measurement of LV function,pathohistological observation and analysis were performed.Results Compared with rats in the Model group,LV systolic pressure(LVSP)[(97.7 ± 9.0)mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa)vs(85.9 ±9.4)mm Hg],the maximum rising rate of LV pressure(+ dp/dtmax)[(4810.2 ± 595.0)mm Hg/s vs(3786.2 ± 723.0)mm Hg/s]and the maximum dropping rate of LV pressure(-dp/dtmax)[(3781.6 ±573.6)mm Hg/s vs(2774.4 ±633.5)mm Hg/s]in the Drug group were significantly increased,while LV end-diastolic pressure(LVEDP)[(10.3 ± 0.7)mm Hg vs(12.7 ±2.4)mm Hg]in the Drug group was significantly decreased(all P ＜ 0.05).Myocardial pathohistological morphology was improved in the Drug group with fibrosis alleviated[(5.13 ± 1.37)％ vs(7.27 ±1.01)％]and infarct size reduced[(20.14 ± 8.49)％ vs(31.90 ± 4.98)％].Apoptosis index(AI)was decreased[(14.05 ± 4.04)％ vs(20.87 ± 6.03)％]and vessel density was significantly increased by 1.48-fold in the Drug group(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions GXST is effective in protecting LV function after AMI in rats,which may be affect through increasing vessel density of infarction area,improving myocardial pathohistological morphology,alleviating fibrosis,reducing infarct size and decreasing AI.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of autologous peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of adult dermatomyositis. Methods A 21-year-old patient with dermatomyositis received autologous peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and was followed up for 6 years. Autologous peripheral hematopoietic stem cells were mobilized by recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) before the transplantation, and the conditioning regimens consisted of cyclophosphamide,methylprednisolone and cyclosporin. Rabbit anti-human T lymphocyte immunoglobulin began to be applied on day 3 after retransfer of stem cells. The improvement in symptoms, physical signs and biochemical indicators was observed, and hematopoietic restructuration and immunity resurrection were evaluated after the transplantation. Results After the transplantation, skin eruption greatly improved and gradually subsided. The muscle force of extremities restored from level Ⅳ before transplantation to level Ⅴ. The level of creatine kinase declined sharply after transplantation, but gradually returned to previous level. Leucocyte count began to decrease on the day of retransfer, and returned to the normal level on day 8. Immune function remained normal before and after the transplantation. Conclusion Autologous peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an alternative treatment for severe and refractory dermatomyositis.

Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor with a high mortality.Surgery is the only potential hope of cure for patients with pancreatic cancer.Imaging examination plays an essential role in both the early diagnosis and preoperative assessment.Accurate tumor staging has guiding significance for clinical practice.Appropriate therapeutic schedule will be selected according to the tumor staging,and then patients' prognosis can be evaluated.Recently,the TNM staging systems for pancreatic cancer have been updated by American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC).Major changes were made in the T and N staging.This article will review the updates of the 8th edition of AJCC cancer staging for pancreatic cancer from radiography aspect.

Lives are maintained by enough oxygen.Blood oxygen saturation is one of the important parameters which reflects oxygen concentration in blood.The accurate monitoring of blood oxygen saturation is very important to both physiological research and medical application.At present,dual-wavelength method is widely adopted in noninvasive detection of blood oxygen saturation.Therefore,accurate recognition of peak-to-peak value of pulse waveform is a key process in monitoring blood oxygen saturation.In the paper,LMS self-adaptive arithmetic is applied to processing pulse waveform signal.The ratio of corrective detection is improved by the method.

Background The protective effects against reperfusion injury of cardioprotective drugs have recently been evaluated and found to be inadequate. Guanxinshutong (GXST), a combination of the traditional herb and Mongolian medicine, is effective and safe in treating angina pectoris in clinical trials. We assess the cardioprotective effects of GXST against myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R) injury in rats and explore its possible mechanism. Methods Forty-five male Sprague Dawley rats were randomized into three groups: non-MI/R group (Sham, n = 15), MI/R group treated with vehicle (Control, n = 15) and MI/R group treated with GXST (Drug, n = 15). MI/R was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) for 30 minutes, followed by 2/24 hour reperfusion in the Control and Drug groups. In the Sham group, the LAD was exposed without occlusion. GXST powder (in the Drug group) or saline (in the Control and Sham groups) were administered via direct gastric gavage from 7 day prior to surgery. Blood samples were collected from the carotid artery (10 rats each group) after 2 hours of reperfusion, to determine the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The animals were then sacrificed and the hearts were harvested for histopathology and western blot analysis. Infarct size was measured in the remaining five rats in each group after 24 hours reperfusion. Results GXST significantly decreased levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, ICAM-1, apoptosis index (AI) and infarct size. GXST also obviously inhibited nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activity when compared with the Control group (all P < 0.05). Conclusions GXST is effective in protecting the myocardium against MI/R injury in rats. Its possible cardioprotective mechanism involves inhibition of the inflammatory response and apoptosis following MI/R injury.
