PBL tutoring is quite different from the traditional tutoring and emphasizes the importance of student-centred instead of teacher-centred education.In PBL,teachers guide students to find answers to their own questions and facilitate students' learning process.Therefore,the tutor role is complex and has a fundamental change.

Objective To study the regulatory T cells (Treg-cell) frequencies in patients with childhood acute leukemia and evaluate its clinical application value by investigating the relationship between the increasing numbers of Treg cells and minimal residual disease of leukemia (MRD), Methods Foxp3-FITC/CD25-PE/CD4-PerCP/CD3-APC four-color staining flow cytometry was established to identify Treg cells. Treg cells frequencies both in 10 healthy controls and in 33 patients with newly diagnosed childhood acute leukemia ( B-ALL 17 cases, T-ALL 9 cases, AML 7 cases) were detected. The possibility of the accumulation of Treg cells being the prognostic marker for acute leukemia was evaluated by comparing the results of Treg cells frequency with that of MRD. Results The percentage of Treg cells in CD+4 CD+3 T cells was M = 8. 09% in normal bone marrows, which was significantly different from the results in the bone marrows of newly diagnosed childhood acute leukemia ( M = 12.77% , U = 3.41, P < 0.01 ), but it showed no significantly differences among B-ALL, T-ALL and AML groups. No association was observed between the expression of Treg cells and clinical-biologic characteristics studied. In addition, Treg cells frequency in MRD positive group was significantly different from that in MRD continuously negative group ( M = 14. 74% vs M=11.3%, t =252.5,P<0.05). Conclusions Consistent with results from solid tumor, the study identifies a significantly increased numbers of Treg cells in patients with childhood acute leukemia. The situation of accumulation of Treg cells is closely associated with MRD results during chnical remission. High level of Treg cells may cause poor prognosis and increase the possibility of relapse.

Objective To compare the effect of occupy effects of tumor in situ before surgery(OETS) and after neurosurgery (ANS) on neuroendocrine dysfunction and grading of neuroendocrine function in children with craniopharyngioma. Methods The grading evaluation criteria of neuroendocrine dysfunction in children with craniopharyngioma were drew up according to references and the endocrine feedback principle. Based on these grading evaluation criteria, the clinical date of 227 cases of children with craniopharyngioma who underwent neurosurgical treatment were retrospectively studied. These children were divided into pre-pubertal group (167 cases) and pubertal group (60 cases). The neuroendocrine impairment status before and after the surgery were evaluated separately. Results Among 227 children with craniopharyngioma, after the surgery, the incidence of the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid dysfunction increased from 16.74%(38/227) to 67.40%(153/227), the incidence of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal gland dysfunction increased from 14.54%(33/227) to 44.49%(101/227), and the the incidence of pituitary function impairment increased from 17.62%(40/227) to 21.15%(48/227). Meanwhile, the incidence of body temperature dysregulation, sleeping disorder, personality abnormality and cognitive abnormality all increased after the surgery. The scoring and grading on neuroendocrine dysfunction in pre-pubertal group were increased after the surgery (Z=-5.20, P<0.01; Z=-4.94, P<0.01,). The scoring and grading on neuroendocrine dysfunction in pubertal group were increased after the surgery( Z=-4.10, P<0.01;Z=-4.25, P<0.01). Conclusions Both the mass effect of tumor in situ of craniopharyngioma and the neurosurgical treatment can be harmful to the neuroendocrine function. Even though the surgery can remove the mass effect of tumor in situ in the saddle area, it can increase the level of grading of neuroendocrine dysfunction. The status of neuroendocrine dysfunction can be evaluated by the grading evaluation criteria of neuroendocrine dysfunction in children with craniopharyngioma, which then provides an effective evaluation tool for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of neuroendocrine function.

Background and purpose:Chemotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of breast carcinoma by inhibiting the tumor growth and inducing the apoptosis.MAPK transduction pathway is closely related to proliferation and apoptosis of varieties of tumor cells,inhibition of MAPK pathway may increase the efficiency and decrease the toxicity of chemotherapy.Our study was to investigate the effect of MEK inhibitor PD98059 in response of breast cancer cell lines to Epirubicin.Methods:Human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR were used as cell models.Epirubicin(EADM),PD98059(inhibitor of MAPK Kinase-MEK),or EADM+PD98059 was added into the culture medium,the expression of MEK2 and p-ERK were measured by Western blot,the growth of the two cell lines were measured by MTT.Results:ERK activity was elevated in MCF-7 after the treatment of EADM,the cells were more sensitive to EADM if combined with PD98059,while in MCF-7/ADR,ERK activity kept unchanged after EADM treatment,and PD98059 has no effect on the sensitivity of cells to EADM.Conclusion:MAPK signal transduction may be activated in some cells treated by EADM,adding inhibitor of MAPK signal transduction could improve the sensitivity of the cells to EADM.

Affinity chromatography is a chromatographic method for separating molecules using the binding characteristics of the stationary phase with potential drug molecules. This method can be performed as a high throughput screening method and a chromatographic separation method to screen a variety of active drugs. This paper summarizes the history of affinity chromatography, screening technology of affinity chromatography, and application of affinity chromatography in screening bio-active compounds in herbal medicines, and then discusses its application prospects, in order to broaden applications of the affinity chromatography in drug screening.

Thyroid B-ultrasound and urinary iodine content were examined in 4390 male workers aged 18-62 years-old,who participated annual physical checkups in 2009 and 2010.The results suggest that there is no obvious relationship between the urinary iodine which represents the iodine intake within 24 hours and prevalence of thyroidnodale.However,the prevalence of thyroid nodules shows an upward trend with the advance of age.

Objective To investigate the pathomorphology effects of memantine on organs in neonatal rats.Methods Sixty-eight neonatal rats were randomly divided into 7 groups:5 groups by different doses memantine intraperitoneally and the controls by water intraperitoneally.The pathomorphology changes of organs were observed in all dead neonatal rats promptly after administration of memantine and in all survived rats after 7 days recover.Results 1.The ratio of organ weight and body weight in dead neonatal rats were higher than those of controls.2.The result of pathomorphology indicated that neurodegeneration and necrosis in the brain,the liver congestion and cell degeneration.The other organs had not distinct changes.3.The pathologic changes and mortality rate of neonatal rats were positively correlated with the dosage of memantine.Conclusion Memantine will affect liver and brain of neonatal rats.
