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.
