[Objective To explore the effect of problem-based learning(PBL) in biochemistry teaching in medical college. Methods Totally 128 students(2011 grade) of medical laboratory major were derived into experiment group(n=64)and control group(n=64). Lecture-based learning(LBL) was used in control group and PBL was used in experiment group.In control group,teachers did teaching design according to the needs of curriculum standards,employed multimedia courseware,explained the basic content of each chapter,class exercises and homework after class. In experimental group,PBL was conducted through establishing biochemistry teaching website based on school's teaching platform. Teach-ing process in experiment group included:grouping-selecting appropriate cases-consulting data-group discussing-summarizing by teachers. Theory test was carried out after the course and questionnaire was conducted for students in experiment group . Data were analyzed using the independent sample t test . Results Average test scores were higher in PBL group than in traditional group,with statistically signif-icant differences[(83.15±11.87)vs. (76.15±12.48)]. Questionnaire survey showed that more than 90.0%students in experiment group were interested in the PBL teaching method and thought that the PBL teach-ing method can enhance the enthu-siasm of learning, independent learning ability and comprehensive analysis ability. Conclusions PBL teaching method can improve the quality and the effect of biochemi-stry teaching and culture students' comprehensive ability. It is worthy of further study and popularization.

To prepare recombinant human retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) by using the baculovirus expression system and to detect its immunogenicity, the fusion DNA fragment of secretory signal peptide SS64 and human RBP4 gene was subcloned into a baculovirus transfer vector pFastBac-dual(pFBd), and the corresponding recombinant transfer plasmid was transformed into E. coli strain DH10bac, after transposition recombinant shuttle bacmid was screened out. The logarithmic phase Sf9 cells were transfected with the recombinant bacmid and then the recombinant baculovirus containing hRBP4 expression box were generated. After amplification of recombinant baculovirus, the recombinant baculovirus seeds were obtained. To express human RBP4, logarithmic phase Sf9 cells were infected with the virus seeds and SDS-PAGE and Western blotting were used to detect and identify the expression. Finally, to prepare a batch of RBP4 protein, logarithmic phase Sf9 cells in suspension culture were infected with recombinant baculovirus seeds and the supernatant was harvested after 120 hours post-infection for purification. Finally for preparation of polyclonal antibody and evaluation of immunogenicity, the recombinant hRBP4 from insect cells and from E. coli were immunized rabbits. Restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing confirmed that the recombinant baculovirus transfer plasmid was constructed correctly, and subsequently recombinant RBP4-bacmid was generated successfully. SDS-PAGE and Western blotting analysis suggested that human RBP4 protein was highly expressed in Sf9 cells with the molecular weight of approximately 23 kDa. The recombinant RBP4 protein could be secreted into the medium efficiently, and the expression level was calculated amount of 100 mg/L. Finally the rabbit antiserum was harvested after recombinant RBP4 immunization, therein the titer of antiserum against baculovirus recombinant RBP4 is 1:100 000 whereas the titer of antiserum against E. coli recombinant RBP4 is only 1:10 000. Overall, human RBP4 was high efficiently expressed successfully with good antigenicity in baculovirus system, and high affinity antiserum was obtained. A solid foundation was laid for the next step of the preparation of human serum RBP4 detection kit.

Objective:To explore the effect of stepwise nursing in postoperative rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injury.Methods:From January 2020 to June 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 91 patients with spinal cord injury admitted to the Henan Third Provincial People's Hospital as the research object. The patients were divided into the observation group ( n=46) and the control group ( n=45) by random number table method. The control group received routine nursing, while the observation group received stepwise nursing on the basis of the control group. The postoperative functional independence and quality of life were compared between the two groups. Results:After six months of intervention, the scores of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure Ⅲ and the scores of each dimension of the Generic Quality of Life Inventory 74 in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Stepwise nursing can promote postoperative functional recovery and improve the quality of life of patients with spinal cord injury.
