Myocardial fibrosis is a pathological process characterized by fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition,which occurs in the normal structure of the myocardium.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous,non-coding RNA of approximately 22 nucleotides in length,regulating gene expression at posttranscriptional level by complementary pairing with the target gene mRNA.Recent studies have showed that miRNAs play an important role in the formation of myocardial fibrosis,therefore,much attention has been paid to miRNAs as they may serve as targets for prevention and treatment of myocardial fibrosis.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate new thought and method for improving the practice teaching effect of pharmacy under-graduates under the collaboration of medicine and education. METHODS:The training objectives of pharmacist team,the current sit-uations and problems of teaching that existing in the institute of pharmacy and the requirement of talents in the work were summa-rized and investigated,and then reform targets and measures were put forward. RESULTS:Training for pharmacists tream gradual-ly movedcloser to clinical pharmacists in China.The teaching work in the pharmacy department of our hospital was relatively com-plete,including relevant teaching system,practice systems and processes,training program for clinical pharmacists and develop-ment of workflow;however,there still remained some problems,including lacking of professional quality training,suitable cours-es,effective interactive medical and education scientific assessment mode and no attention for the training of clinical thinking and school-university research thinking. The above-mentioned problems needed to be solved by reforming internship tutorial system and improving the contents,establishing the school-hospital united system,emphasizing the connection between schools and teaching bases,establishing integrated teaching evaluation system and assessment criteria,strengthening clinical experience and training for clinical thinking by the teaching mode of physicians and pharmacists. CONCLUSIONS:Strengthening the collaboration of medicine and education and improving the training standards and evaluation system are helpful for improving the practice teaching quality of pharmacy undergraduates.

AIM: To investigate the effect of Thymosin ? 1 on the development and matutation of thymocytes. METHODS: The proportion of CD4+CD8+ thymocytes and the expression of smoothened (Smo) of the hedgehog (Hh)-signaling in CD4-CD8-thymocytes were examined to observe the effect of thymosin ? 1 on thymocyte development and matutation. RESULTS: Flowcytometric analysis showed that thymosin ? 1 showed activity at a low dose of 30 ?g/kg, and 30 ?g/kg thymosin ? 1 accelerated the replenishment and maturation of thymocytes according to the expression of Smo of the Hh-signaling in CD4-CD8-thymocytes, the potent negative regulator of proliferative responses. CONCLUSION: Thymosin ? 1 can accelerate thymocyte development from CD4-CD8- to CD4+CD8+.

Objective To investigate the role of OX40 in the mechanisms of memory T cells in islet transplant tolerance.Methods The expression of OX40 on native, like memory and memory CD8+T cells was detected by RT-PCR. Splenic T cells from B6 mice were injected into Rag-/- mice via the tail vein, and the Rag-/- mice were divided into three groups (n=8 each): control group, given IgG; treatment group, given anti-OX40L; and OX40 knock-out group, given T cells from OX40 knock-out B6 mice spleen. All recipients were induced into diabetes mellitus model after adoptive transfer. Islet transplantation was performed on all Rag-/- mice as recipients. The mean survival time of islet was observed.Results The expression of OX40 in native T cells, like memory T cells and memory T cells was 2.87, 111.24 and 146.15 respectively. The expression of OX40 in like memory and memory T cells was higher than in native T cells (P<0.05). Comparison with control group , The mean survival time of the DBA/2 islet allografts in treatment group (130 days) and OX40 knock-out group (125 days) was significantly longer than in control group (21 days, P<0.05).Conclusion The OX40 expression is high in memory T cells. The mean survival time of the islet allografts can be prolonged by blocking OX40/OX40L pathway. OX40/OX40L pathway may be the key point of transplant tolerance.
