Taking global minimum essential requirements(GMER)as standard,school of basic medical science in Wuhan University paid more attention to the cultivation of students' professional skills, innovation ability and communication ability. ‘Response to injury’integrated course was carried out. Based on the immunology,this course involves pathology and pathophysiology and explores the mecha-nism of the diseases' diagnosis and treatment. It took small classes,bilingual education,literature read-ing ,experiments and discussions in various forms . This reform aimed to improve the immunology , pathology and pathophysiology teaching and make our medical education meet the process of globalization.

Objective To investigate the dynamic change of pro‐and anti‐inflammatory eytokines of sepsis patients and its signif‐icance in clinical condition .Methods Forty‐three sepsis patients from 2010 to 2011 were divided into the survival group and the death group .Morning serum samples were collected on the first ,third ,firth and seventh day morning ;ELISA method was used to quantify the serum level of TNF‐α,IL‐1 ,IL‐4 and IL‐10 .The severity of patient′s condition was assessed according to the APACHEⅡsystem .Results In the early stage ,TNF‐α and IL‐1 in of both group increased and reached the peak on the third day ;then there was a gradual decline .Test in the same time point showed that the indexes of death group were all higher than that of survival group (P<0 .05) .IL‐4 of the two groups reached its peak on the fifth day and then declined ,and in the same time point ,indexes of death group were much more higher than that of survival group (P<0 .05) .IL‐10 of the survival group reached its peak on the fifth day and then declined;in the death group ,IL‐10 level kept increasing and maintained high ,there was no significant difference among the serum levels of the third ,fifth and seventh day(P>0 .05) .The APACHE Ⅱ of the survival group declined significantly while in death group it kept increasing and stay high .Conclusion Pro‐inflammatory eytokines(TNF‐α,IL‐1) ascended earlier than anti‐in‐flammatory eytokines(IL‐4 ,IL‐10) ,and the serum level of IL‐10 keep high level prompt the poor prognosis .

Neuromyelitis optic spectrum disorders(NMOSD)is a serious inflammatory demyelinating disease.Clinical treatment of NMOSD mainly involves acute phase treatment and remission phase prevention treatment.Disease-modifying therapy(DMT)in remission phase of NMOSD can effectively reduce disease re-currence and delay disability progression.At present,the drugs commonly used for DMT at home and abroad in-clude classical immunosuppression,B-cell surface antigen monoclonal antibody,complement targeting mono-clonal antibody,IL-6 receptor-targeting monoclonal antibody,etc.This paper mainly reviews the DMT drugs ef-ficacy,safety,as well as the marketing status of NMOSD.

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome(LGS)is a severe,epileptic encephalopathy.In recent years,a variety of drugs have been approved for the treatment of LGS.The U.S.Food and Drug Administration ap-proved clobazam and cannabidiol as adjunctive therapy for LGS in October 2011 and June 2018,respectively.This article provides an overview of clobazam and cannabidiol,including their chemical structures,pharmaco-logical actions,curative effects,safety profile,drug interactions,to introduce the current state of research and the achievements of both drugs.

Infantile epileptic spasm syndrome(IESS)is a new concept proposed recently.IESS is a unique and age-specific refractory epilepsy syndrome.The recent advances in molecular biology,neuroimmunol-ogy and the in-depth study of anti-epileptic mechanism in antiepileptic drugs have led to the achievements in the definition and treatment of infantile epileptic spasm.At present,the use of traditional antiepileptic drugs is de-creasing,while the use of new antiepileptic drugs is increasing.In this paper,based on the relevant literature in recent years,the authors discuss the pathogenesis,epidemiology,etiology,diagnosis,treatment,therapeutic drugs,clinical progress,efficacy,and safety of infantile epileptic spasm,hoping to introduce the latest status in research and achievements of IESS.

In atherosclerosis, chronic inflammatory processes in local diseased areas may lead to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we devised a highly sensitive H₂O₂-scavenging nano-bionic system loaded with probucol (RPP-PU), to treat atherosclerosis more effectively. The RPP material had high sensitivity to H₂O₂, and the response sensitivity could be reduced from 40 to 10 μmol/L which was close to the lowest concentration of H₂O₂ levels of the pathological environment. RPP-PU delayed the release and prolonged the duration of PU in vivo. In Apolipoprotein E deficient (ApoE^‒/‒) mice, RPP-PU effectively eliminated pathological ROS, reduced the level of lipids and related metabolic enzymes, and significantly decreased the area of vascular plaques and fibers. Our study demonstrated that the H₂O₂-scavenging nano-bionic system could scavenge the abundant ROS in the atherosclerosis lesion, thereby reducing the oxidative stress for treating atherosclerosis and thus achieve the therapeutic goals with atherosclerosis more desirably.
