Objective To explore the effect of case teaching method based on ADDIE model in the teaching of surgical nursing. Methods Two classes of the four-year nursing specialty college students (39 students in each class, 78 students in total) in the third grade were selected as samples. According to the principle of randomization, one class was set as the observation group, and the ADDIE model based on case teaching method was adopted. According to the five stages of ADDIE model, namely, analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation, the whole process was performed to achieve teaching goals and timely combination of clinical cases, so that the theoretical knowledge of teaching materials and clinical reality were highly connected. The other class was set as the control group. At the end of the semester, the teaching results were evaluated based on two groups of students' test scores and questionnaire findings. SPSS13.0 software was used for statistical analysis. t-test was used to test the significance of the test results,and chi square test was used to test the significance of the survey data. The results of the two teaching methods were compared with the control group. Results The scores of the two groups were significantly higher than those of the control group [(87.0±7.1) vs (78.0±8.6), P=0.000; (93.0±2.4) vs (85.0±3.8), P=0.000]. Significantly more students in the observation group (P<0.05) were satisfied with the teaching methods used to improve the enthusiasm and initiative of learning, improve their interest in learning, broaden their knowledge, improve the effect and efficiency of learning, inspire students to think, associate, and innovate, activate classroom atmosphere, improve the ability of students to analyze and solve problems, apply theories in practice, and accurately grasp the basic concepts and theoretical knowledge. Conclusion The case teaching method based on ADDIE model can effectively improve the teaching quality of nursing courses and improve students' ability to analyze and solve problems. It is well received by students, and it can enhance teachers' teaching skills as well.

Objective To study the function of ginsenoside Rg3 on proliferation in human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and effect of ginsenoside Rg3 on Cx26 gene expression and gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in MCF-7, cultured in vitro. MethodsHuman breast cancer cells MCF-7 was exposed to ginsenoside Rg3 at differential concentrations for 24 h, respectively. The cell proliferation inhibition was measured by 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazo-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The expression of Cx26 mRNA was measured by RT-PCR in experimental groups and control goup. The GJIC function of MCF-7 cell was examined with scrape-loading dye transfer assay.ResultsHuman breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was exposed to ginsenoside Rg3 at a concentration of 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 μg/ml, respectively.The inhibition ratio was 3.1%, 5.2 %, 16.0 %, 26.3 %, 29.1% respectively after 24 h. Compared with control group, the concentration of 40 μg/ml above could significantly inhibit MCF-7 cell proliferation (P ＜0.05), so the experimental groups were exposed to ginsenoside Rg3 at a concentration of 40, 80, 160 μg/ml,respectively. The expression of Cx26 mRNA in every experimental group compared with control group was enhanced when MCF-7 cell was exposed to ginsenoside Rg3 at a higher concentration. It was observed that Lucifer yellow fluorescent staining was limited to a single cell in control group through fluorescent microscope,but Lucifer yellow fluorescent transfered through gap junction cells to neighboring cells, then came into being flake fluorescent staining in experiment groups. ConclusionGinsenoside Rg3 can enhance the expression of Cx26 mRNA in MCF-7 cell and restore the gap junctional intercellular communication, which may be one of important mechanisms of ginsenoside Rg3 in antitumor.
