In order to improve the quality of teaching, the teaching and research section of parasitology explores the teaching effects of human parasitology based on independent learning. Taking the clinical medicine specialty (excellent doctor class) as an example, in order to overcome the problems that the teaching content brought by traditional infusion teaching is difficult to meet the needs of modern teaching and students have low interest in learning. On the basis of optimizing teaching content and teaching methods, some courses are adopted flipped classroom teaching model based on the MOOC videos learning before class, emphasizing student-centered and self-directed learning, focusing on independent learning ability and critical thinking training, and introducing modern information technology and improving teaching effectiveness. The teaching effect shows that the student-centered teaching thought can be better reflected, students' ability of self-learning has been enhanced, and their sense of learning achievement has been strengthened, in favor of cultivating their ability to analyze and solve problems, as well as lifelong learning ability and teamwork ability.

Taenia solium is one of the main human parasites. Both larvae and adults can cause diseases, among which neurocysticercosis caused by Cysticercus is the most serious disease. The immune response induced by Cysticercus infection and its regulatory mechanism have been the key problems in the prevention and treatment of Cysticercus infection. This review reports the progress of T lymphocytes-mediated immune responses and immunoregulation in cysticercosis, which is expected to provide a theoretical basis for the immunopathogenesis and prevention and treatment of cysticercosis.
