Epidemiological characteristics of occult hepatitis C virus and safety of blood transfusion / 中国输血杂志

Occult hepatitis C infection (OCI) is defined as HCV RNA not detected in serum or plasma but in hepatocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). OCI exists in general population and voluntary blood donors, and its infectivity and risk of transmission by transfusion has been confirmed. HCV RNA in PBMCs could not be detected in plasma or serum by blood screening in transfusion services, neither by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay nor by nucleic acid amplification testing. OCI has become a potential threat to transfusion safety, therefore effective detection technologies and transmission blocking strategies need to be further developed.

Synthesis and eukaryotic expressing of the gene encoding extracellular domains of gB protein B virus / 中国比较医学杂志

Objective To get the gene encoding extracellular domains of gB protein of B virus and analyze its expression in the eukaryocyte cell.Methods synthesizing gene fragment encoding extracellular domains of gB protein of B virus was by using synthesis gene, then digested with the restriction endonucleases BamHⅠand NotⅠand inserted into eukaryotic expressing vector pEGFP-N3.pEGFP-N3-GB合 was transfected into 293 cells.After protein extraction, the expression of gene was detcted by western blotting, and the cellular localization of the gene was analyzed by immunofluorescence and laser scanning confocal microscopy.Results pEGFP-N3-GB合were expressed in 293 cells and on the cell membrane.Conclusion eukaryotic expressing system can produce specific antigen recombination protein of B virus gB protein and express on the cell membrane.

Preliminary exploration of OSCE-test on completion of a course to improve students' clinical competence / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Objective To investigate the effective ways of improving medical students' clinical competence during the process of internship. Methods Totally 398 students of clinical medicine from 2006 and 2007 grade in Soochow University were enrolled as research objects. Forty objects distribut-ed to the First Affiliated Hospital were taken as experiment group while 358 objects distributed to other hospital as control group. In experiment group, objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) was introduced during regular internship, innovation was made on test on completion of a course and autonomous learning and clinical practice was advocated and enhanced. Traditional practice and ex-amination method was used in control group. SPSS 19.0 was used to do statistical analysis on the test scores of students. Paired sample t test and independent sample t test were employed. Measurement data is expressed as x±s and P<0.05 signifies statistically significant differences. Results Clinical practice ability of students in experiment group was enhanced to various degrees after internship com-pared with that before internship. ECG interpretation, heart and lung auscultation, interrogation tech-nique, medical and surgical operation performances of students in experiment group were promoted significantly (P<0.05). Students' overall competence in the final graduation skill test was better in ex-periment group than in control group (P<0.05). Conclusions OSCE-test on completion of a course not only make intern management more effective, but also make students' aim more definite, therefore it is conducive to enhancing clinical competence.

Effects of harvesting stage on functional constituents of four kinds of Hangbaiju / 中国中药杂志

To reveal the effects of harvesting stage on the functional constituents of four kinds of Hangbaiju and determine the best harvesting stage. Sixteen samples of Hualei, Taiju, Youju, Quanju were collected from Zhejiang Tongxiang. The content of total flavonoids were determined by UV spectrophotometry. Chlorogenic acid, lutelin-7-O-beta-D-glucoside and 3,5-O-discaffeoylquinc acid were analyzed by HPLC. The results showed that the effect of harvesting stage on the functional constituents of four kinds of Hangbaiju was significant. The contents of total flavonoids and chlorogenic acid reached maximum at the Hualei stage, and next was Taiju. The highest content of lutelin-7-O-beta-D-glucoside and 3,5-O-discaffeoylquinc acid was found in samples of Taiju. The yield of the four kinds of Hangbaiju increased obviously as the collection time deferred. Considering the functional constituents, yield and harvesting stage, the stage of Taiju is the best harvesting time.

The exploration and reforms on strengthening the training of clinical practice while learning subjects / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Considering the modern features and requirement of our medical education, we tried some exploration and reforms of the clinical practice training on students of clinical medicine major(7-year program). By strengthening the training of clinical practice while learning subjects, we came to the conclusion that students got their study’s aim much more positively and actively in their study, and the teaching goals are more direct and the teaching effects are better.
