The view of youth moral cultivation clearly defines the scope of “morality” and puts forward the requirement of “cultivating morality” for the youth. This is a systematic concept aligned with the main theme of the times and is worth deeply exploring and integrating into the practice of medical ethics education for medical students. With the requirements for innovation and development in medical education， the cultivation of medical students has also been endowed with new connotations. Guided by the connotations of the view of youth moral cultivation and aligned with the objective requirements of medical students’ cultivation， this paper leveraged the core values of traditional Chinese medicine as its entry point. It also explored the realization paths of medical ethics education for medical students that reflect advantages， highlight characteristics， and maintain clear orientation through strengthening the medical ethics education of “dedicated study of medicine，” “honesty and prudence in words and deeds，” “benevolence in heart and skills，” and “doctor-patient trust and harmony，” aiming to cultivate guardians of people’s health with noble medical ethics and superb medical skills.

Objective:To investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on the postoperative complications of open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD).Methods:The preoperative, operative and postoperative data of 234 patients who underwent OPD in the Department of the Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of First Affiliated Hospital affiliated to Naval Medical University from January 2015 to June 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the Asian BMI standard, the patients were divided into three groups: underweight group (BMI<18.5 kg/m 2, n=32), normal weight group (18.5 kg/m 2≤BMI<23.0 kg/m 2, n=110) and overweight group (BMI≥23.0 kg/m 2, n=92). Normal weight group was compared with underweight group and overweight group, respectively, to analyze the relationship between BMI and intraoperative parameters and major postoperative complications of OPD. Results:The incidence of diabetes in underweight group was lower than that in normal weight group, and the proportion of ASA score 3 in underweight group was higher than that in normal weight group, and there were significantly statistical differences (both P value <0.05). There was no significant difference on the other variables between underweight group, normal weight group and overweight group. The operation time, intraoperative hemorrhage volume >800 ml and intraoperative blood transfusion rate were not statistically different between underweight group and normal weight group, but overweight group had obviously higher intraoperative blood transfusion rate than normal weight group and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Underweight group had more postoperative intraperitoneal hemorrhage and postoperative blood transfusion rate than normal weight group, and the readmission rate in underweight group was less than that in normal weight group; the incidence of clinically related-post operative pancreatic fistula, postoperative infection, gastrointestinal bleeding and delayed gastric emptying in overweight group were significantly higher than those in normal weight group, and there were significantly statistical differences (all P value <0.05). In underweight group, normal weight group and overweight group, the average length of hospital stay were 9.9 days, 11.3 days, 15 days, and the total hospitalization expenses were 63663.04 yuan, 66241.78 yuan and 80484.31 yuan, respectively. Conclusions:Compared to normal weight patients, the difficulty of OPD in underweight patients does not increase, while the difficulty of OPD in overweight patients increases. Underweight and overweight could both increase the postoperative complications of OPD to some extent.

AIM To study the secondary metabolites from the endophytic fungi Candida sp.of Berberis atrocarpa Schneid.METHODS The ethyl acetate fraction and petroleum ether fraction from the secondary metabolites of Candida sp.fermentation extract were separated and purified by silica gel,Sephadex LH-20 and preparative liquid chromatography,then the structures of obtained compounds were identified by physicochemical properties and spectral data.RESULTS Eighteen compounds were isolated and identified as 1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol(1),4-hydroxyphenethyl alcohol(2),4-hydroxybenzoic acid(3),4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid(4),3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid(5),3-methylsulfinyl propionic acid(6),phenylacetic acid(7),(S)-N-nitroso-1-amino-p-hydroxy phenylethanol(8),2-phenylacetamide(9),p-hydroxybenzaldehyde(10),ethyl 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetate(11),dibutyl phthalate(12),5,5'-dimethoxybiphenyl-2,2'-diol(13),3-indolealdehyde(14),N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine(15),9-hydroxy-10E,12Z-octadecadienoic acid(16),9-hydroxy-10E,12E-octadecadienoic acid(17),(6E)-5-methylene-6-tetradecenoic acid(18).CONCLUSION Compounds 1,3-8 and 10-18 are isolated from Candida sp for the first time.

Early start denver model(ESDM)is a comprehensive early intervention approach for the children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD)between 12-month-old-36-month-old.The model is built upon the theoretical foundations of applied behavior analysis,denver model(DM),and pivotal response treatment,and it is one of the naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions.Compared with the other early intervention methods,ESDM is not limited by the environment of intervention;it encompasses all the areas of development during teaching practice and has been widely adopted for the early intervention of the children with ASD,and achieves the satisfactory therapeutic effect.The ESDM typically uses an intensive one-on-one intervention approach,but variabilities have emerged in its practical application,such as group ESDM(G-ESDM),parent-implemented ESDM(P-ESDM),and peer-mediated ESDM.In particular,G-ESDM and P-ESDM have provided the learning opportunities for more families,showing a broad application prospect.This study reviews the theoretical foundations,teaching models,and the effects of various intervention modalities of the ESDM in the treatment of ASD;combined with the domestic and international research findings,this study offers a reference for further studies on the mechanism of ESDM intervention for ASD.

Sepsis， a common critical disease in the intensive care unit（ICU）， features high morbidity and mortality. At present， it is mainly tackled with western medicine， which may trigger a series of problems like antibiotic resistance， adverse hormonal reactions， and high cost after a long-term use. Therefore， exploring new efficient， safe， and cheap drugs and treatment modes has become the focus of our research at this stage. By virtue of unique advantages including "the concept of holism and individualized treatment based on syndrome differentiation"， Chinese medicine has accumulated quite rich experience in the prevention and treatment of sepsis. In recent years， research on the regulation of Chinese medicine on nuclear transcription factor-κB（NF-κB） signaling pathway in sepsis has kept emerging. On this basis， this paper reviewed the etiology and pathogenesis of sepsis， syndrome differentiation and treatment， NF-κB signaling pathway， and its intervention with Chinese medicine. It has been found that some single Chinese herbs and their extracts， Chinese herbal compounds， and Chinese herbal injections effectively inhibit the expression of such inflammatory factors as NF-κB-mediated tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）， interleukin-1（IL-1）， and IL-6 as well as the related proteins， reduce the systemic inflammatory response and organ injury， and improve the prognosis by regulating the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway and the immune function of macrophages. However， due to the limitations of objective conditions， some studies also have the problems of fuzzy pro-inflammatory anti-inflammatory balance mechanism， unclear pharmacokinetics and low drug safety evaluation， which need to be further studied and explored in order to provide a new theoretical basis and diagnosis and treatment thinking for the treatment of sepsis with traditional Chinese medicine.

To explore the differences in biological characteristics for the small gastrointestinal stromal tumors and the incidence of complications and recurrence between the traditional surgical treatment and endoscopic treatment.
 Methods: We collected the relevant clinical and pathological data from patients who were diagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumors with the diameter less than 2 cm by the Department of Pathology of Xiangya Hospital from January 2009 to December 2015. The complications and recurrence after the surgical treatment were analyzed.
 Results: In patients with small gastrointestinal stromal tumors, the proportion of female was higher than that of male (male:female=1:1.69). The median age for patient with this disease was 49 years old and it was more common in middle-aged and elderly. Most lesions were found in the stomach, followed by the esophagus and the small intestine. The small gastrointestinal stromal tumors occurred in the colon and rectum were rare. There was 60.3% (47/78) patients with abdominal pain, 7.7% (6/78) patients with hematochezia or melena, and 98.7% (78/79) with small gastrointestinal stromal tumors' mitotic count ≤5/50 HPF. The positive rates for CD, CD34, DOG-1, actin-smooth, and S-100 were 98.7%, 86.1%, 82.3%, 31.6%, and 24.1%, respectively. Three patients occurred surgical complications, 2 suffered recurrence during the follow-up. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications and recurrence between the traditional surgical treatment and endoscopic treatment (P>0.05).
 Conclusion: Small gastrointestinal stromal tumors' malignant potential is low, and the recurrence and metastasis rate is low. Its biological behavior tends to be benign. The traditional surgical treatment and endoscopic treatment are both safe and effective for small gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Endoscopic treatment has the advantages in lower cost, shorter hospitalization time, and small trauma. Therefore, endoscopic treatment could be the first choice for small GIST resection under the condition of mature endoscopic technology.

BACKGROUNDGiant cell tumors (GCTs) are benign, locally aggressive tumors. We examined the rate of local recurrence of spinal GCTs and sought to identify recurrence factors in patients who underwent surgery.

METHODSBetween 1995 and 2014, 94 mobile spine GCT patients were treated at our hospital, comprising 43 male and 51 female patients with an average age of 33.4 years. Piecemeal intralesional spondylectomy and total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) were performed. Radiotherapy was suggested for recurrent or residual GCT cases. Since denosumab was not available before 2014 in our country, only interferon and/or zoledronic acid was suggested.

RESULTSOf the 94 patients, four underwent conservative treatment and 90 underwent operations. Seventy-five patients (79.8%) were followed up for a minimum of 24 months or until death. The median follow-up duration was 75.3 months. The overall recurrence rate was 37.3%. Ten patients (13.3%) died before the last follow-up (median: 18.5 months). Two patients (2.6%) developed osteogenic sarcoma. The local recurrence rate was 80.0% (24/30) in patients who underwent intralesional curettage, 8.8% (3/34) in patients who underwent extracapsular piecemeal spondylectomy, and 0 (0/9) in patients who underwent TES. The risk factors for local recurrence were lesions located in the cervical spine (P = 0.049), intralesional curettage (P < 0.001), repeated surgeries (P = 0.014), and malignancy (P < 0.001). Malignant transformation was a significant risk factor for death (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONSCervical spinal tumors, curettage, and nonintact tumors were risk factors for local recurrence. Intralesional curettage and malignancy were the most important significant factors for local recurrence and death, respectively.

Objective:To explore the effects of protoporphyrin Ⅸ (PpⅨ)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) on induction of apoptosis and death in colon cancer cell and the underlying mechanisms.Methods:The cell killing effect of PDT on HCT116 cell was determined by cell counting kit (CCK).The cells were divided into a control group,a single light group,a single PpⅨ group,and a PDT group.Hoechst 33342 and flow cytometry was used to assess the cell apoptosis.Western blot was employed to analyze the expressions ofbd-2,bax,and caspase-3.Reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected by flow cytometry.Results:The viability of HCT116 cell was decreased gradually with the increase of irradiation dose (P<0.05).Compared to the other 3 groups,ROS production,the number of apoptotic cells and the protein expressions ofbax and caspase-3 in PDT group increased,while bcl-2 expression was decreased (P<0.05).Conclusion:PpⅨ-mediated PDT can enhance the apoptosis in HCT116 cell,which may be related to mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.

The present study was designed to explore the influence of water extracts of Atractylodes lancea rhizomes on the toxicity and anti-inflammatory effects of triptolide (TP). A water extract was prepared from A. lancea rhizomes and co-administered with TP in C57BL/6 mice. The toxicity was assayed by determining serum biochemical parameters and visceral indexes and by liver histopathological analysis. The hepatic CYP3A expression levels were detected using Western blotting and RT-PCR methods. The data showed that the water extract of A. lancea rhizomes reduced triptolide-induced toxicity, probably by inducing the hepatic expression of CYP3A. The anti-inflammatory effects of TP were evaluated in mice using a xylene-induced ear edema test. By comparing ear edema inhibition rates, we found that the water extract could also increase the anti-inflammatory effects of TP. In conclusion, our results suggested that the water extract of A. lancea rhizomes, used in combination with TP, has a potential in reducing TP-induced toxicity and enhancing its anti-inflammatory effects.
