The author made a deep analysis to the enrollment situation in the College of Continuing Education, Henan University of TCM, in 2008. The analysis showed that the enrollment source of the undergraduate students is better than the junior college student; Enrollment source of the preponderance professions of TCM such as traditional Chinese medicine, Integrated Chinese and Western medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion and Tuina of Chinese medicine, and science of Chinese material medica is better than non-preponderance profession; The enrollment source of local city is better than other cities. Thus we advocate: paying adequate attention to the enrollment of undergraduate students, increasing the teaching level; setting up preponderance professions of TCM, highlighting characteristics of schooling ; digging enrollment source of local area, and expanding enrollment source from other cities.

Objective To clone cDNA of trichosanthin (TCS) and purify TCS, and to study its influence on apoptosis and growth inhibition of colorectal carcinoma LoVo cells in vitro. Methods MTT assay was adopted to measure the growth inhibition ratio of LoVo cells treated with TCS, and apoptosis was assayed by agarose gel eletrophoresis. Results The results showed that the higher concentration of TCS and the longer testing time, the stronger growth inhibition of LoVo cells. DNA agarose gel eletrophoresis showed a gradient, which confirmed that TCS could induce the apoptosis of LoVo cells. Conclusions TCS can inhibit the growth of LoVo cells in vitro and induce its apoptosis. Our study provides evidence for the application of TCS in clinical treatment of human colorectal carcinoma.
