Objective To construct the bait expression plasmid pGBKT7-GR of glucocorticoid receptor(GR)binding domain.Methods The fragments of GR binding domain was amplified by RT-PCR,and then was cloned into pMD18-T.After being verified by sequencing,it was subcloned into the bait expression vector pGBKT7.Then the bait vector pGBKT7-GR was transformed into AH109 yeast cells and the expression of the bait protein was analyzed by Western blot.Toxicity and self-activation of the bait protein were detected.Results GR binding domain was amplified and cloned into pMD18-T and pGBKT7 successfully.The bait vector was transformed into AH109 yeast cells successfully,without toxicity or self-activation.The expression of the bait protein was confirmed by Western blot.Conclusion The successful construction of bait expression vector of glucocorticoid receptor binding domain lays the foundation for constructing small molecule ligand yeast three-hybrid system.

Objective To identify the interaction between nuclear localization signal-retinoic acid receptor α (NLS-RARα) and Ubiquilin 1(UBQLN1). Methods The recombination expression plasmids pGBKT7-NLS-RAR and pACT2-UBQLN1, which expressed bait-protein NLS-RARα and target protein UBQLN1 respectively, were cotransformated into yeast AH109. The interaction of the expression plasmids in the living cells was investigated by yeast two-hybrid assay. HA-tagged fusion protein (pCMV-HA-NLS-RARα) expression vector and Myc-tagged fusion protein (pCMV-Myc-JTV1) expression vector were constructed, identified, and cotransfected respectively into human embryo kidney 293 cells(HEK293). The interaction was detected by co-immunoprecipitation.Results Blue clones were found on yeast AH109 plate cotransformated with pGBKT7-NLS-RARα and pACT2-UBQLN1. Double restriction enzyme digestion showed that pCMV-HA-NLS-RARα and pCMV-Myc-JTV1 were successfully constructed. Then HA-NLS-RAR protein was immunoprecipitated by anti-HA polyclonal antibody and the expression of Myc-UBQLN1 was tested by Western blot with anti-Myc monoclonal antibody from immunoprecipitated complex. Conclusion The interaction between NLS-RARα and UBQLN1 can be verified by yeast two-hybrid assay and co-immunoprecipitation.

Objective To introduce small group learning in the course of introduction to gen-eral practice to cultivate students' ability of active learning and innovation. Methods Totally 221 students of 2008 grade A and B classes were enrolled as teaching objects and were divided into 20 groups. Introduction to general practice was used as learning materials. One week before the class, teacher gave students learning task and A and B classes carried on class discussion respectively. Re-view speaking was conducted by the representatives of groups. Effectiveness was evaluated through the observation,interview,questionnaire survey and answer scoring points. Results Overall support per-centage to small group learning was 91%. Percentages of students who believed that small group learn-ing was beneficial to cultivating the ability of active learning and innovation were 88% and 73% re-spectively. Conclusions Introducing small group learning in the course of introduction to general practice is effective and conductive to training students' ability to study and innovate.

Objective:To explore the isolation and culture of a better yield of purified human endometrial glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells. Methods:Digestion with high concentrated collagenase and DNase,filtratinn and adhesion purification were used to isolate,purify human endometrial glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells in 30samples. And the two kinds of cells were reproduced. Results:The endometrial cell culture was successfully established in 29 of 30 endometrium samples. From one gramme of endometrial tissue,the yields of glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells were (40～50)?10~6 and (40～50)?10~6 respectively. The purities of glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells were 96% and 98% respectively. Stromal cells could be reproduced into several passage. However,glandular epithelial cells could not be reproduced. Conclusion:A better yield of purified human endometrial glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells can be obtained by the modified culture procedure.

Objective To develop a new method for establishing a temperature gradient field in the microchannel on a glass-polydimethylsiloxane ( PDMS ) microfluidic chip and to verify its applicability in the study of cellular thermal biological effect.Methods The establishment and control of the temperature gradient field in the microchannel were implemented by a peripheral indium tin oxide ( ITO) heater and a heating micro-wire embedded in the PDMS chip.The temperature gradient field established in the microchannel was represented by the finite element numerical analysis and temperature-dependent fluorescent dye rhodamine B.Finally, the thermal biological effect, which used cell survival rate of human prostate cancer cells T24 as an indicator, was investigated in the microchannel.Results The results of finite element numerical analysis proved that this method established a temperature gradient field along the length of the microchannel successfully.The distribution range of the temperature gradient field was controlled by the ITO heater, while the gradient of the temperature gradient field was controlled by the heating micro-wire.The measurement result of rhodamine B was identical with the result of the finite element numerical analysis.The thermal biological effect of T24 tumor cell research showed that the cell survival rate decreased with the rise of the regional temperature in the microchannel.Conclusion The method developed in this paper for establishing a temperature gradient field in the microchannel on a glass-PDMS microfluidic chip is simple and easy to implement, and it can be used for parallel study of the cellular thermal biological effect on the microfluidic chip in the future.
