To improve class teaching quality,we must concentrate on the leading factor: teacher,the key factor: design,and the subjective factor: students.

The examination of Histology and Embryology was reformed by trying competition-oriented test based on an exam system which is supported by attitude assessment and achievement in learning process.The students welcome the system for its advantages such as the original and various forms,its inspiration of enthusiasm and innovation and its humanism.The system contained processional assessment and final assessment as well.Yet the practiser should increase the rate of written examination to keep the fairness.

Objective:To investigate the long-term toxicity of recombinant human interleukin-11(rhIL-11) in cynomolgus. Methods: Eighteen cynomolgus were randomized into 4 groups: control group(2/sex), low dose group(2/sex), medium dose group(2/sex)， and high dose group(3/sex). The drug groups were sc adminstered 0.1, 0.3 and 1.0 mg/kg of rhIL-11 for 90 days with a 30-day recovery period. The clinical signs were observed, electrocardiogram, hematological, biochemical, urinary and immunological parameters were measured, organ masses were weighed, bone marrow and pathological histology were observed. Results: The food consumption, body mass of the drug groups were decreased, the body temperature was increased transiently. One of the low dose group showed restricted movements and tremors. One of the high dose group vomited and another died. Reduced red blood cell(RBC) count, hemoglobin(Hb) concentration, hematocrit(Hct), mean corpuscular volume(MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin(MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration(MCHC), dose-related increase of platelet(Plat) counts were present in drug groups. Biochemical examinations revealed dose-related decreases in serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), total proteins(TP) and albumin(Alb) increases in serum alkaline phosphatase(ALP) levels. Positive antibody responses were seen and circulatory immune complex(CIC) was significantly increased in all drug groups. Hypertropy of marrow megakaryocyocytes was noted in the medium and high dose groups. The heart and liver masses were slightly increased in all treatment groups. Treatment-related microscopic findings included dose-related degeneration in the liver and the kidney. The adverse effects were reversed by the end of the recovery period. Conclusion: The target organs and systems are blood, liver, kidney, immmue system and bone marrow. The toxicity injuries were reversible and the no-toxic-effect level is 0.1 mg/kg.

Shiwei Dangguiyin(SWDGY)is mainly composed of Radix Angelicae Sinensis,Radix Adenophorae,Radix Notogenseng,Radix Bupleuri,etc. Oral administration of SWDGY could significantly inhibit the metatarsal swell- ing eaused by dimethylbenzene in rats,raise the pain threshold in hot-plate test and depress the torsive reaction caused by acetic acid in mice.In vitro SWDGY exerted bacteriostatic and bacteriocidal effects on Staphylococcus aureus,Bacil- lus pyocyaneus,Escherichia coli,Streptococcus A,B and C.It was shown that SWDGY possessed anti-inflammatory,analgesic and antiseptic effects in vitro.In mice LD_(50) of SWDGY by oral administration was more than 840g/kg.Affer cral adminstration in a daily dose of 189.Sg/kg continuously for one month in rats, no toxic reactions appeared,This dosage was 118.6 times as much as the clinical one.

Objective　To research the direct electrophysiological evidence of discomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) and the effect of 4-aminopyridine on it. Methods　Motor evoked potentials (MEPs), both spinal cord recorded MEPs (scMEPs) and extracellularly recorded MEPs (exMEPs) were recorded and characterized on a T13 epidural electrode (scMEPs) and an extracellular microelectrode (exMEPs) for 10 normal rats and 40 rats with lesions of various severity (sham, 35?g*cm force (gcf), 70?gcf, 100?gcf impact injury) at the T8-T9 cord using the Allen's drop model. The incline plane and Tarlov techniques were used to assess clinical neurological function. Results　MEPs in the normal rats were elicited by applying transcortical suprathreshold stimulation consisting of 3-4 early negative peaks (N1, N2, N3 and N4) followed by several late waves. The N1 and N2 peaks were largest in the anterior and ventrolateral funiculus, respectively, which was indicative of extrapyramidal pathways. The 100?gcf impact injuries and the cord transection abolished the MEP distal to the lesion, whereas the 35?gcf injuries resulted in a latency shift and amplitude decrement of the MEP peaks. Eighteen of the 20 rats with 70?gcf injuries showed clinical paraplegia. Among them, 7 rats had neurophysiological evidence of residual conduction pathways through the lesioned cord segment, such as the presence of N1 and N2 peaks in the scMEPs or exMEPs. After 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) administrations (1?mg/kg), the amplitude of the spared exMEP increased significantly and spread more widely. Conclusions　MEPs evoked by transcortical stimulation travel mostly in the extrapyramidal tract. MEP monitoring could provide an excellent method of detecting the functional integrity of the motor tracts after SCI, and could even detect spared motor fibers after discomplete SCI. Furthermore, the use of 4-AP or other K+ channel blocking agents may be a potential treatment for patients with chronic moderate to severe SCI.

Objective To evaluate the safety of fibrin sealant (FS) intraperitoneal injection in SD rats .Methods 80 male and female SD rats were randomly divided into four groups (0 ,85.5 ,171 .0 ,342 .0 mg/kg) by body weight .All rats were in-traperitoneally injected with vehicle or FS daily for 14 days followed by a 28-day recovery period .The clinical signs ,hematolog-ical and biochemical indices were measured .The pathology were observed .Results Increase of white blood cell count (WBC) and decrease of fibrinogen (FIB) in d 14 were found in 171 .0 mg/kg and 342 .0 mg/kg dosage groups .Furthermore ,the tend-ency of weight increase of spleen were found in 171 .0 mg/kg and 342 .0 mg/kg dosage groups .Pathological exams of peritoneal cavity found that there were granulation tissues containing FS in some of the rats in 342 .0 mg/kg group .All of these changes got reversed after the recovery period .Conclusion The safety dose in this study is considered to be 85.5 mg/kg ,and the toxic-ity dose is 171 .0 mg/kg .The target toxicity systems or site of FS in SD rats are hematological system ,immune system and in-jection site .The toxic effects of FS are reversible .
