With homology cloning approaches coupling with RACE (rapid-amplification of cDNA ends) techniques, the full-length coding sequence of pathogenesis-related protein PR10-1 with differential expression was cloned from the total RNA of the root of Panax notoginseng, and its function was explored furtherly. As a result, the longest 465 bp ORF (named as PnPR10-1 with the Accession No. KJ741402 in GenBank) was detected from the cloned sequence with full-length of cDNA of 863 bp. The corresponding peptide encoded consisted of 155 amino acids, contained some domains such as Bet-v-I, and showed high similarity with that from Panax ginseng by analysis of phylogenetic trees created from the alignments. Real-time quantitative PCR showed that the expression of PnPR10-1 gene was constitutive in different tissues of 1-3 year old plant, suggesting that it might be involved in growth, development, and secondary metabolism; yet it was up-regulated significantly with the infection of Fusarium oxysporum in root, suggesting that it might be involved in defense against many diseases including root rot in P. notoginseng.

Objective To evaluate effects of ursolic acid (UA) on interleukin?33 (IL?33) expression in HaCaT cells induced by interferon?γ(IFN?γ), and to explore their mechanism. Methods Some HaCaT cells were treated with UA at different concentrations(0, 0.1, 1, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80μmol/L)for 24, 48 and 72 hours separately. Then, methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay was conducted to evaluate cell proliferative activity. A cell model of inflammation was established by culture of HaCaT cells with the presence of 200μg/L IFN?γ. Some HaCaT cells were classified into several groups to be treated with IFN?γ(200μg/L)and UA(10 and 15μmol/L)alone or in combination (firstly treated with IFN?γ followed by UA treatment), and those receiving no treatment served as the blank control group. Reverse transcription PCR (RT?PCR) was performed to detect mRNA expressions of IL?6 and IL?33, and Western?blot analysis to measure IL?33 protein expression after 12?hour culture. The expressions of extracelluar signal?regulated kinase 1/2(ERK1/2)and phosphorylated ERK1/2(p?ERK1/2)were also measured by Western?blot analysis after 5?and 60?minute treatments with IFN?γand UA alone or in combination. Results MTT assay showed that the treatments with 5-20μmol/L UA for 24 hours had no effects on cell proliferative activity, while 40-80μmol/L UA could significantly inhibit it at 24, 48 and 72 hours (all P < 0.05). Thus, 10 and 15 μmol/L were chosen as the concentrations of UA for further study. After the treatment with 200μg/L IFN?γ, there was a significant increase in the expressions of IL?33 mRNA(0.812 ± 0.036 vs. 0.412 ± 0.021), IL?6 mRNA(0.947 ± 0.091 vs. 0.595 ± 0.030)and IL?33 protein(1.317 ± 0.119 vs. 0.147 ± 0.036)in HaCaT cells compared with the blank control group(all P<0.05). Compared with the IFN?γgroup, the IFN?γ+10?μmol/L UA group and IFN?γ+15?μmol/L UA group both showed significantly decreased expressions of IL?33 mRNA(0.447 ± 0.042 and 0.438 ± 0.028 respectively, both P<0.05), IL?6 mRNA(0.437 ± 0.099 and 0.350 ± 0.075 respectively, both P<0.05)and IL?33 protein(0.923 ± 0.058 and 0.564 ± 0.113 respectively, both P<0.05). There were no significant differences in IL?33 mRNA expression between the IFN?γ+10?or 15?μmol/L UA group and blank control group(P>0.05), while IL?33 protein expression was significantly lower in the IFN?γ+15?μmol/L UA group than in the IFN?γ+10?μmol/L UA group(P<0.05). The p?ERK1/2 protein expression significantly increased in HaCaT cells treated with IFN?γ for 5 and 60 minutes compared with the blank control group, but significantly decreased in the IFN?γ+15?μmol/L UA group compared with the IFN?γgroup(0.458 ± 0.053 vs. 0.941 ± 0.042 at 5 minutes, 0.302 ± 0.054 vs. 0.509 ± 0.032 at 60 minutes, both P < 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in the total ERK1/2 protein expression between the IFN?γ+15?μmol/L UA group and IFN?γgroup at 5 or 60 minutes. Conclusion UA can suppress IL?33 expression in HaCaT cells induced by IFN?γ, likely by regulating expressions of the ERK signaling pathway?related proteins.

National Teaching Contests of young teachers from medical colleges in China has been held for several years. Experiences obtained from participating and observing the contest have shown that the teaching ability and quality of young teachers have been dramatically improved over these years. But there are a few problems worthy of attention. First, up-to-date progress in scientific research should be intro-duced to the class in proper way. Applying the scientific material mechanically or overgeneralizing individual findings should be avoided in this process. Secondly, the teachers should strengthen the cultivation of criti-cal thinking and dialectical way of thinking, to enable students to use critical thinking, the integrated point of view to analyze and solve the problem. Thirdly, teaching should also focus on humanistic education, and through the infiltration of human content in the classroom, imperceptibly affect students. Finally, young teachers can give full play to their advantages of rapid learning and to use internet as a platform for the reform of teaching methods to promote the interaction between teachers and students, enriching their class-room.
