Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2015;(5):518-520
There are some disadvantages in internal medicine practice teaching now. To find a new teaching model, and implement a teaching reform is the key to improve teaching quality. We try to apply the case introduction to the teaching method of evidence based practice in the department of internal medicine . The new teaching model which combined case base study with evidence-based medicine in internal medicine practice can help put forward questions and guide students to analyze questions by the case. It also helps find evidence and solve questions by evidence-based method. The organic combination of the two, not only can stimulate students' learning enthusiasm and initiative, de-velop the correct clinical thinking, but also can effectively promote students' self-learning ability to update their knowledge. It is worth widely developing in internal medicine practice.

Background and purpose:Tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a death receptor ligand that can induce apoptosis in a variety of cancer cell lines, but not all cancer cells . Past studies suggested that some chemotherapeutic drugs intensified the sensitivity of TRAIL induced apoptosis.We investigated the effect and potential mechanism of combined paclitaxel and TRAIL on apoptosis of human gastric cancer cell in vitro. Methods:SGC7901 cells were cultured with paclitaxel at different concentrations(1,5,10,20,40 ?g/ml) and different time(12,24,36,48 hr), methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to measure the anticancer activity of paclitaxel.The ability of TRAIL alone,paclitaxel alone and TRAIL in combination with paclitaxel to induce apoptosis was measured by a flow cytometer. Expression of DR4,DR5, DcR1,DcR2,Caspase-8 and Bcl-2 mRNA was examined by RT-PCR.Results:The apoptosis rates of control group(C group),paclitaxel group(P group),TRAIL group (T group)and combination group(T+P)in 24 hr were 2.09%,10.65%,7.79% and 24.51%, respectively. The apoptosis rate in T+P group was significantly higher than that in C group, T group and P group(P

Objective To evaluate the effects of recombinant lentivirus encoding human apM1 gene ( LentiapM1-EGFP) on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) induced human mesangial cell (HMC) proliferation and intracellular AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK) signaling pathway.Methods Protein expression of apM1 in cell culture supernatant of HMC transfected with Lenti-apM1-EGFP was detected by ELISA.The effect of human adiponectin on cell proliferation and cell cycle was assessed by [ 3 H ] thymidine incorporation assay and Flow cytometry respectively.The phosphorylation of AMPK was detected by Western blotting.Results Lenti-apM1-EGFP had no significant toxicity on HMC.The 50 multiplicity of infection (MOI) of the Lenti-apM1-EGFP efficiently infected HMC,and made it stable expression of adiponectin protein ( 149.6 ± 12.8 ) μg/L.PDGF-induced HMCs proliferation was significantly inhibited by adiponectin.When co-treatment with compound C,an AMPK inhibitor,the inhibitory effort was reversed.The phosphorylation level of AMPK was increased in HMC transfected Lenti-apM1-EGFP compared to that of control.Conclusions Adiponectin antagonizes stimulatory effect of platelet-derived growth factor on mesangial cell proliferation by AMPK signaling.

Objective To explore the reliability of assessing the renal damage and prognosis with enhance-lfow (E-Flow) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by detecting hemodynamics indexes of intrarenal arteries. Methods There were 50 SLE patients who were treated in the Second Hospital Afifliated to Harbin Medical University from May 2012 to March 2013. The 50 SLE patients were divided into 2 groups:28 patients with LN and 22 ones without LN, and 30 healthy persons were served as the control group who were from the health check centre. All patients underwent renal ultrasonic examination, and two-dimensional images were observed. E-Flow technique were used to measure the peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV) and vascular resistance indexes (RI) of the segmental, interlobar, arcuate and interlobular arteries. ANOV was used to compare the PSV, EDV and RI of segmental, interlobar, arcuate and interlobular arteries in the three groups, and LSD-t was used to compare the indexes between the two groups. A linear correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between the RI of the intrarenal arteries in patients with LN and the levels of serum creatinine. Results The two-dimensional images of kidneys in patients without LN were normal. There were 8 cases with renal parenchymal diffused change in patients with LN. The spectrums of interlobular arteries in patients without LN were similar with those of control subjects, and the turgor curve of diastolic phase reduced slightly. The spectrums of interlobular arteries in patients with LN were blunt, with high resistance and hypoperfusion. Compared with the control subjects, PSV of the interlobar, arcuate and interlobular arteries in patients with LN decreased statistically (t=-2.46,-2.40,-3.49, P<0.05 or 0.01). EDV of the intrarenal arteries in patients with or without LN decreased statistically (patients with LN:t=-5.50,-5.95,-5.83,-5.01, all P<0.01;patients without LN:t=-3.41,-3.69,-3.29,-2.49, P<0.05 or 0.01). Compared with patients without LN, PSV and EDV of the arcuate and interlobular arteries in patients with LN all decreased statistically (PSV:t=-2.00,-2.16, both P<0.05;EDV:t=-2.13,-2.16, both P<0.05). Compared with the control subjects, RI of the intrarenal arteries in all SLE patients increased signiifcantly (patients with LN:t=12.78, 13.30, 11.95, 9.52, all P<0.01;patients without LN:t=9.88, 10.05, 8.71, 5.30, all P<0.01). Compared with patients without LN, RI of the the intrarenal arteries in patients with LN increased signiifcantly (t=2.05, 2.38, 2.43, 3.57, P<0.05 or 0.01). There were positive correlations between the RI of the intrarenal arteries in patients with LN and the level of serum creatinine (r=0.684, 0.752, 0.755, 0.851, all P<0.01). Conclusions E-Flow could clearly display the branches of intrarenal arteries and assess the progress and prognosis of the patients with SLE by measuring intrarenal arteries hemodynamics.
