Medical biochemistry is a very important basic curricular in medicine teaching.But its theory is abstract,so it is difficult for teachers to teach.On the other hand,the students feel it hard to learn too,because they don't know how these theories are applied.We have applied case-based teaching in medical biochemistry teaching.These methods effectively improve students' enthusiasm to study and to train their scientific thinking in preliminary.Following this way we have explored a new way to elevate teaching qualities and search new teaching model and to further reform present medical biochemistry teaching model.

Objective To analyze the association between the polymorphism of 5509-5511delCAA in exon4 of Tim-1 gene and the susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis(RA)in a group of Han population from Yunnan province.Methods The PCR-DNA se-quencing analysis was used to detect the polymorphism of 5509-5511delCAA in exon4 of Tim-1 gene in 196 RA Han nationality pa-tients and 190 individuals of healthy physical examination(control).The ELISA method and indirect immunofluorescence assay was adopted to detect the three related aotuantibodies of RA,including the rheumatoid factors(RF)and the anti-cyclic citrullinated pep-tide(Anti-CCP)and the anti-keratin antibodies(AKA).Results There were statistically significant differences in genotype and al-lele frequency of 5509-5511delCAA between the RA group and the control group(P <0.05);the positive rate of RF and the anti-CCP between different genotypes of 5509-5511delCAA in the RA group had no statistically significant differences(P >0.05 ),but the positive rate of AKA between different genotypes of 5509-5511delCAA in the RA group had statistically significant differences (P <0.05).Conclusion The 5509-5511delCAA site of Tim-1 exon4 has the polymorphic variation,the 5509-5511delCAA genotype maybe related with the genetic susceptibility to RA in Han population of Yunnan province,the different genotypes does not affect the expression of RF and the anti-CCP,but affects the expression of AKA.

Objective To explore the dilution regression method of coagulation detection(PT ,APTT) in fat blood samples . Methods We collected 40 normal blood coagulation specimens (no fat blood ,no jaundice ,no hemolysis) in Yan′an hospital of Kun-ming ,then we detected the PT and APTT of the original plasma and 3-fold diluted plasma and 5-fold diluted plasma ,the we used the data both of before dilution and diluted to do the linear regression analysis ,and finally we got the regression equations of each index .we also collected 33 fat blood samples in Yanan hospital of Kunming ,which be divide into three groups through the severity of triglycerides :mild fat blood group(1 .7 mmol/L≤TG<11 .0 mmol/L) and moderate fat blood group(11 .0 mmol/L≤TG<20 .0 mmol/L)and severe fat blood group(TG≥20 .0 mmol/L) ,then we detected the PT and APTT after 3-fold diluted plasma and high-speed centrifugation plasma ,and then we brought diluted results into the normal regression equations and the results were compared with the high-speed centrifugation results .Results Because most of the 5-fold diluted plasma can not get the effective results ,so we use 3-fold diluted plasma to get the regression equations .The results of 3-fold diluted plasma was calculated by the regression equa-tions ,which then compared with high-speed centrifugation results ,after the analysis of statistical software ,two results had not sta-tistically significant (P>0 .05) .Conclusion Dilution regression method can be used to detect the fat blood samples in the clinical coagulation detection .

This study examined the effect of insulin on the expression of very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) subtypes of SGC7901 cells and discussed its biological implication. In vitro, moderately or poorly-differentiated human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line SGC7901 was incubated with insulin for different lengths of time, and then the expression of protein and RNA level in VLDLR subtypes were detected by Western blotting and real-time PCR, respectively. The results showed that, at certain time interval, insulin could down-regulate expression of type I VLDLR and up-regulate the expression of type II VLDLR in SGC7901 cells, at both protein and RNA level. We are led to conclude that insulin serves as a regulator in maintaining the balance between glucose and lipid metabolism in vivo, possibly through its effect on the differential expression of VLDLR subtypes.

Objective Through the combined detection method,we tried to find more sensitive biomarkers for the diagnosis of acute TBI,which might provide the exact diagnosis,treatment and monitoring indicators for the clinic.Methods A total of 156 patients with acute TBI admitted to the Emergency Traumatic Center of Yan'an Hospital of Kunming from October 2022 to June 2023 were collected and included the normal and fracture control groups.Peripheral blood samples of the enrolled patients were collected and monitored,S100β and IL-6 were tested and clinical data such as hs-CRP was collected immediately upon admission,then statistical analysisanalysis was conducted.Results Peripheral blood in patients with acute TBI,The levels of S100β,IL-6 and hs-CRP significantly increased,and the area under the ROC curve for diagnosing acute TBI was 0.944,0.915,and 0.897.The combined detection of the three indicators showed an area under the ROC curve of up to 0.975.Person correlation analysis found a positive correlation between the three indicators,especially S100β with IL-6,The correlation coefficient between them is 0.715.Binary logistic regression analysis found that S100β,IL-6 and hs-CRP are independent risk factors for acute TBI.Conclusions The combined detection of S100β,IL-6 and hs-CRP can effectively improve the sensitivity of acute TBI diagnosis.The mutual promotion of S100β and IL-6 may aggravate the secondary craniocerebral injury caused by inflammatory mechanism,and early targeted treatment may improve the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the genetic evolution of VP1 gene of pathogenic coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) strain isolated from clinical hand,foot,and mouth disease (HFMD) patients.Methods A total of 160 HFMD cases with CV-A16-positive results were collected from hospitals in Kunming during January 2015 to June 2017.Fecal samples were collected.Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the CV-A16 virus nucleic acid.The VP1 genes of CV-A16-positive samples were amplified by reverse transcription-PCR.The amplified positive products were sequenced and aligned.The homologies were identified and their subgenotypes were determined.The phylogenetic tree was constructed and homology modeling was conducted.Results All the 160 CV-A16 isolates were B2 subtypes.The genetic distance between detected strains of CV-A16 and the strains in Fujian,Beijing,Nanjing was 0.76.The genetic distance to the strains in Malaysia was 0.78,and to the strains in Australia was 1.86.Homologous modeling revealed that the amino acid sequence of the VP1 gene of the strain had a G227R mutation.Conclusions There is no major genetic variation in the CV-A16 strains during 3 years.CV-A16 isolates are close to those of epidemic strains in Beijing,Fujian and Malaysia,but are far fram the strains from Australia.
