Cultivating students' creative spirit was an important aim of higher education,and improving scientific research ability was an effective way to realize this aim.Using Journal of Zhejiang Medical College as the carrier,Journal editorial department tried to improve students' scientific research ability.For instance,served fund projects,found competition's added value,offered course about research design and paper writing.The students' scientific research ability was improved.

OBJECTIVE To establish a method for detecting adenovirus type 7 by cells culture combined with real-time fluorescent RT-PCR.METHODS After purified adenovirus was dissociated from nasopharyngeal secretion in A549 cells,ADV7 E1A genes were detected by real-time RT-PCR assay and sequence analysis of cells infected with 0.1,0.5,5.0 and 10.0 MOI ADV7 at 3,6,12 and 24 h postinfection.Then the adenovirus in nasopharyngeal secretion was detected with the similar method.RESULTS Early transcription of E1A genes of adenovirus type 7 could be detected by real-time RT-PCR at 3 h postinfection with 0.5MOI virus;or at 6 h postinfection with 0.1MOI virus;Early transcription of E1A genes could be detected at 6 h postinfection in nasopharyngeal secretion.CONCLUSIONS The method by cells culture combined with real-time fluorescent RT-PCR is sensitive,specific and rapid.It can be applied in clinics for diagnosis of adenovirus type 7 infection.

OBJECTIVE: To establish bacterial endotoxin test for cardioplegic solution (compound jiagaimei solution).METHODS: Semi-quantitative analysis stated in volume Ⅱ of Chinese Pharmacopoiea (2005 edition) was used to detect 3 batches of compound jiagaimei solution with tachypleus amebocyte lysate (TAL).RESULTS: The interference factors of bacterial endotoxin test could be overcome through 6-fold dilution of cardioplegic solution.The content of bacterial endotoxin in 3 batches of samples were 0.36,0.36 and 0.255 EU?mL-1,respectively.They were all lower than the limitation of bacteria endotoxin of 1.5 EU?mL-1.CONCLUSION: It is feasible to detect bacterial endotoxin of compound jiagaimei solution using semi-quantitative analysis.
