To compare the effects of polysaccharide nucleic acid fraction of bacillus calmette guerin (BCG-PSN) and thymopeptides on T-lymphocytes of normal and immunosuppressed mice, CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocyte subsets of single nucleic cell in thymus, spleen and peripheral blood were detected successively by flow cytometry after application of BCG-PSN and thymopeptides. Meanwhile, CD4+/CD8+ ratio was also calculated. The results showed that both BCG-PSN and thymopeptides could decrease the proportion of CD4+ CD8+ T-lymphocyte subsets in the thymus, at the same time increase CD4+ T-lymphocyte, CD8+ T-lymphocyte proportion in the three tissues. The fluctuation in amplitude was greater in thymopeptides group than that in BCG-PSN group. It is concluded that acting location of thymopeptides is in thymus, its stimulating action is stronger than that of BCG-PSN, while BCG-PSN not only accelerates the differentiation in thymus, but also has some direct stimulation to peripheral CD4+ T-lymphocytes, and can maintain CD4+/CD8+ ratio within normal range. So, BCG-PSN is safer.

BACKGROUND:Retinal diseases are caused by damage or apoptosis of the retinal cel s and lack of ideal treatment. Induced pluripotent stem cel s have self-renewal ability and differentiation potential. A new potential source from which to produce stem cel s as a therapeutic platform for the treatment of retinal diseases and avoid ethics issues is the research focus currently.
OBJECTIVE:To review recent advancement of induced pluripotent stem cel s and the potential utility for retinal diseases.
METHODS:The first author searched related articles published from 2006 to 2011 by computer retrieval in PubMed database using the keywords of“induced pluripotent stem cel s, retinal, photoreceptor, retinal pigment epithelium, retinal ganglion cel”in English. Final y, total y 42 papers were involved.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Induced pluripotent stem cel s can be induced to differentiate into retinal cel s which have a possibility to be used as donor cel s for transplantation therapies. Patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cel s can be used as disease models for mechanistic studies and drug screening. It is a promising therapy for retinal degenerative diseases. However, some problems stil remain, such as risk of teratoma formation and low efficiency of somatic cel s to be successful y induced into induced pluripotent stem cel s. It stil requires further more studies.

Objective To explore the effects of case method teaching in the medical postgraduate student of dermatology English teaching. Methods The experiment group was taught by case method teaching, and the control group was taught by traditional teaching model. The quantitative research and questionnaire investigation were used to evaluate the teaching methods. Results (1) There were significant differences in professional English test scores of Dermatology between the two groups;(2) The questionnaire investigation revealed that the case method teaching have achieved a higher evaluation from students in stimulating their enthusiasm of learning English,cultivating their ability of using language and improving capability of resolving clinical problem. Conclusion Case method teaching could help students cultivate the abilities to interpersonal communication and cooperation, raise the sense of innovation and innovation capacity,strengthen the relation between skills and theoretical knowledge, and improve the ability of self-management, learn cooperation and information literacy. But we should improve the case-based teaching and evaluation methods,in order to improve the teaching method of case teaching quality.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of β-catenin and peroxisome prolifera-tot-activated receptor-γ,(PPARγ) in bepatocellular carcinoma. Methods Tissue microarrays were established to detect β-catenin and PPARγ expression in 49 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma,49 cases of adjacent nontumoral liv-er tissue and 6 cases of normal liver tissue. The relationships between PPARγ and β-catenin as well as between PPARγ and clinicopathological parameters were observed. Results The aberrant expression rate of β-catenin was 69.39%,48.98 % and 0 respectively (P=0.001). The positive expression rate of PPARγ was 51.02%,30.61% and 0 respectively (P=0.016). Clinicopathological analysis revealed that the increase of PPARγ expression was not associated with age,tumor size,serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) levels,tumor embolus of portal vein or inferior vena cava,and HBsAg infection(χ2=0.214,3.201,0.046,3.201,P>0.05 for each),but correlated with differentiation grades(χ2=4.693,P<0.05). Aberrant expression of β-catenin was associated with PPARγ expression(χ2= 5.130,P<0.05). Conclusion Aberrant expression of β-catenin may involve in the liver carcinogenesis. The high expression of PPARγ in hepatocellular carcinoma is significantly correlated with the clinicopathological characteris-tics. Detection of PPARγ is valuable for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma,and evaluating malignancy extent and prognosis.
