Objective To explore the new model of teaching assessment and evaluation of sanitary microbiology studied by students majoring in preventive medicine. Methods Combination of formative assessment and summative assessment was applied in the teaching for students in under-graduate preventive medicine class in Grade 2007-2010. To get better effect, method was improved constantly. Pearson correlation analysis was used to students' formative assessment and summative as-sessment, and comprehensive evaluation achievement(the first two added). Moreover, the effects were assessed by teachers' self-evaluation and their exchanging ideas with students. Results Ranging from 10.06 to 12.22, the standard deviations of four grades' summative assessment results were the biggest number, so the summative assessment was more effective. Students' formative assessment, summative assessment, and comprehensive assessment for this course were positively correlated(P<0.01) for suc-cessive four years. Teachers and students approved of the new mode. Conclusion The effective com-bination of formative assessment and summative assessment was helpful for student to develop and assess learning ability and overall qualities, and for teachers to improve teaching level.

Otjective To study whether there is the apoptosis of neural cells and the expressionof Bcl-2 protein in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in model of rats, for the further understanding the mechanism of the delayed damage of the neural cells around the hematoma after ICH. Methods Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, ten in each. With the Group A as the control, the rest 40 were used to set up intracerebral hemorrhage model. The brains were taken out at 12th, 24th, 48th and 72th hours, respectively. Apoptosis cells were detected with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL), and the expression of Bcl-2 protein was detected with immunochemical stainging methed (SP). Results In the control group, no apoptosis cells and Bcl-2protein were detected. In rest groups, the apoptosis cells and Bcl-2 protein were expressed in different degree.Apoptosis rates verified and corresponded with the time after ICH, with the peak at 48th -72th hour after hemorrhage.The peak rate of apoptosis cells was (24. 50± 2.69)% and Bcl-2 protein expression was (20. 76 ± 1.97)% . There was significant difference between the experimental groups and control (P＜0.05), and no linear relationship between the apoptosis rate and the expression of Bcl-2 protein. Conclusion Apoptosis may be an important factor in the secondary trauma of ICH. There is a time leg after hemorrhage. All this is instructive to clinical treatment in time. Bcl-2 protein keeps increasing in a certain time after hemorrhage, but not synchronize with the cell apoptosis. This indicates that bcl-2 has the effect to reduce the apoptosis of neural cells.

Aim To construct eukaryotic expressing plasmid of hi FGF2 ( high molecular weight isoform fi-broblast growth factor-2,hi FGF2) gene and to investi-gate its effect on apoptosis after its overexpression in HEK293 cells. Methods The DNA template primer was designed and synthesized. The pDsRed1-N1 plas-mids were digested by the restriction enzymes of Nhel and Hind III. The hi FGF2 was ligated with linearized pDsRed1-N1 by T4 DNA Ligase. The recombinant plasmid was identified by endonuclease digestion and sequenced. The recombinant hi FGF2 plasmid was transient transfected into HEK293 cells by Lipofectami-neTM 2000 Reagent. The transfection efficiency was de-tected by fluorescence inversion microscope. The cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI apopto-sis detection kit with flow cytometry analysis. Results The pDsRed1-N1 eukaryotic expression vector was consistent with the design. The recombinant hi FGF2 plasmid was transfected in HEK293 cells. The trans-fection rate was more than 70%. The FITC/PI dyeing rate in hi-FGF2 over-expression HEK297 cells was a-bout ( 29. 12 ± 2. 81 )%. Conclusions pDsRed1-N1 eukaryotic expression vector is successfully constructed and transfected into HEK293 cells. Over-expression of hi FGF2 induces cell apoptosis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Yupingfeng on hyaluronic acid (HA) and Foxp3+Treg in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods:A total of 58 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma were divided into two groups, 30 cases in the treatment group, 28 cases in the control group. Patients in two groups were treated with synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment, the treatment group was treated with the Yupingfeng granules through oral administration, 10 g/time, tid for 2 courses. The serum Foxp3+ Treg markers of each group were detected by flow cytometry assay before treatment and after treatment, and the level of HA in serum was detected by radio immunoassay.Results:After radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the contents of Foxp3+ Treg and HA were significantly decreased in two groups (P<0.05), and the decrease of treatment group was more significantly (P<0.01). Correlation analysis showed positive correlation between Foxp3+ Treg and HA (P<0.05). After treatment, the incidence of side effects in two groups was significantly decreased. And there was significant difference between two groups (P<0.05).Conclusions:Combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy with Yupingfeng treatment can decrease the levles of Foxp3+ Treg and HA in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. Yupingfeng can also effectively reduce the side effect due to radiation and chemotherapy.

Objective To analyze the complications of total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (TPC-IPAA) in treatment of severe or refractory ulcerative colitis (UC).Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinical data of 67 patients with severe or refractory UC who underwent TPC-IPAA in the Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University from February 2008 to October 2015 were collected.All the patients received open and laparoscopy-assisted TPC-IPAA,and two-stage or three-stage surgery was performed according to the patients' conditions.Observation indicators:(1) treatment and follow-up situations,(2) short-term complications after TPC-IPAA,(3) long-term complications after TPC-IPAA.The follow-up using telephone interview and outpatient examination was performed to detect the quality of postoperative life in patients and occurrence of complications up to July 2016.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).The comparison of quality of pre-and post-operative life in patients was done using the paired t test.Results (1) Treatment and follow-up situations:all the 67 patients received successful surgery,including 45 with two-stage surgery and 22 with three-stage surgery.Thirty-seven patients underwent open surgery and 30 underwent laparoscopic surgery.The average frequency of postoperative daily defecation,average scores of quality of pre-and post-operative lifes were 5.6,0.47 and 0.67,respectively,with a statistically significant difference between preoperative indicators and postoperative indicators (t =-4.80,P ＜ 0.05).All the 67 patients were followed up for a median time of 4.6 years (range,1.0-8.4 years).(2) Short-term complications after TPC-IPAA:Of 67 patients,10 had short-term complications (some patients with multiple complications).One patient was complicated with presacral abscess secondary to sinus formation and then was cured by topical incision of sinus under colonoscopy.Five patients were complicated with anastomotic site-related complications of TPCIPAA,and 1 with pouch-anal anastomotic fistula combined with presacral abscess underwent drainage with ileostomy and didn't undergo stoma reversion of ileum.Two patients with fistula at the top of pouch were improved by surgery and repair.Of 2 patients with pouch-vagina fistula,1 underwent resection of pouch stump-vagina fistula and then were cured,and the space between pouch stump and posterior fornix was filled with a free greater omentum flap and temporary ileal bypass was simultaneously conducted.The other patient received twice transanal vaginal fistula repairs with advancement flap,and unclosed fistula was confirmed by angiography,with a clinical symptomatic relief.Eight patients with wound infection received actively dressing change after discharge,and no wound dehiscence was occurred.(3) Long-term complications after TPC-IPAA:28 of 67 patients had long-term complications.Twelve patients with intestinal obstruction underwent conservative treatments of gastrointestinal decompression,anti-inflammatory with corticosteroid and anti-infection with antibiotic,without the occurrence of severe intestinal perforation and prognosis needing surgical intervention,including 9 undergoing open TPC-IPAA and 3 undergoing laparoscopic TPC-IPAA.Thirteen patients with postoperative pouchitis received the conservative treatment of mesalazine.Three patients with failed pouch underwent small intestine permanent colostomy,including 2 with secondary pouch Crohn's disease and 1 with severe pouchitis.Conclusions TPC-IPAA is safe and effective in treatment of UC,with a lower incidence of complications.Anastomotic site-related complication of TPC-IPAA is the main short-term complication.And in the long-term complications,pouchitis is the most,followed it is intestine obstruction.

Objective To investigate the anti-tumor effect and mechanism of tamoxifen on rat C6 glioma cells. Methods C6 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) with 3% fetal calf serum (FCS), and treated with tamoxifen of different concentrations, i.e. group A (1.25μmol/L), group B (2.50 μmol/L), group C (5.00 μmol/L), group D (10.00 μmol/L), group E (20.00 μmol/L) and control group (0.00 μmol/L). Morphological changes, MTT assay and 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuriding labeling ratio were assessed. Apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry. Results C6 cells treated with different doses of tamoxifen for 24, 48, and 72 hours became irregular in shape, while cells treated with vehicle grew normally. MTT assay showed that tamoxifen did not suppress C6 cell growth until 72 hours after treatment. Seventy-two hours after treatment, there were significant differences in cell viable rate between group A versus groups C, D and E; so did group B versus group D as well as group E (P<0.05). BrdU incorporation assay indicated significant difference of BrdU labbled index (BrdU LI) among groups A, C, E and control group 48 hours after treatment (P<0.05). And the BrdU LI decreased with the increased concentration of tamoxifen. Flow cytometry (FCM) showed significant difference between treated group and control group at 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion Tamoxifen significantly suppresses the growth of C6 glioma cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The mechanism of tamoxifen suppressing C6 glioma cells may be inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis. Therefore, tamoxifen can be a candidate as a chemotherapy agent for glioma.
