It is a trend that innovate the traditional bilingual education model and select a new teaching model.Code-switching is a lingual phenomenon when a passages or articles are expressed with two or more language.To guarantee effect of bilingual education and improve education quality,penetration bilingual education was applied during microbiology teaching.Professional English vocabulary,words,passages or articles were introduced to students timely and by measure by the way of language code-switching.The results showed that bilingual teaching mode with language code-switching inspire study emotion and self-confidence of English expression from students.

Objective To investigate the expression of DNA binding protein A (dbpA) in patients with colorectal carcinoma of different stages and its significance.Methods Expression of dbpA protein and mRNA in specimens of normal tissues and colorectal cancer were detected by immunohistochemistry,expression of dbpA mRNA and protein of colorectal cancer cell lines SW480,RKO,SW620,DLD-1,HT-29,SW1463 and tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry,RT-PCR and Western blot.Results There was no positive staining dbpA protein and mRNA in normal colorectal tissues.However,dbpA was expressed in epithelial cells of colorectal mucosa [dbpA mRNA:80.0 % (48/60),10.0 % (6/60);dbpA protein:83.3 % (50/60),10.0 % (6/60),P < 0.01].And there was no expression in normal colorectal cell,but its expression was high in 6 colorectal cancer cells (P < 0.05).The high expression of dbpA was correlation with the infiltration depth,lymph node metastasis and type of histology (P < 0.05),and had effect in prognosis of colorectal cancer (P < 0.05).Conclusion Elevated dbpA may be related to the pathogenesis and development of colorectal carcinoma,and dbpA may be a prognostic factor of colorectal carcinoma.

Pepole pay more attention to the medicinal value and health function of Monascus day by day,however,the existence of citrinin restricted the further development of Monascus products heavily. How to ruduce the content of citrinin is a problem need to be solved urgently.Briefly introduced the toxicity,the biosynthetic pathway,and the relative standards of citrinin in monascus. According to the research progress on citrinin,the strategies of citrinin control were described from the three aspects of fermentation technology,mutation breeding,and genetic engineering. The expectation about the direction of citrinin in the future was also discussed.

Objective To observe the interventional effect of Compound Kusanqi Capsules on the apoptosis of colonic mucosal cells in rat model of ulcerative colitis (UC).Methods The rat model of UC was established by administrating dinitrochlorbenzene (DNCB), alcohol and acetic acid. The model then was intervened by Compound Kusanqi Capsules in high dose, middle dose and low dose respectively. The curative effect was observed through detecting the expressions of modulin Bcl-2, Bax, Fas and FasL of colonic mucosal cells in the model.Results After the intervention for 15 days the expressions of Bcl-2, Bax, Fas and FasL of colonic mucosal cells were improved in varying degrees in the groups of high-dose, mid-dose and low-dose Compound Kusanqi Capsules, which had significant difference statistically compared with those in the model positive control group (P<0.01 or P<0.05).Conclusion Compound Kusanqi Capsules has the regulation effect on the apoptosis of colonic mucosal cells in rat model of UC.

OBJECTIVETo establish an adolescent violence crime prediction model, and to assess the value of serotonin transporter (5-HTT) gene polymorphism for the assessment and prediction of violent crime.
METHODSInvestigative tools were used to analyze the difference in personality dimensions, social support, coping styles, aggressiveness, impulsivity, and family condition scale between 223 adolescents with violence behavior and 148 adolescents without violence behavior. The distribution of 5-HTT gene polymorphisms (5-HTTLPR and 5-HTTVNTR) was compared between the two groups. The role of 5-HTT gene polymorphism on adolescent personality, impulsion and aggression scale also was also analyzed. Stepwise logistic regression was used to establish a predictive model for adolescent violent crime.
RESULTSSignificant difference was found between the violence group and the control group on multiple dimensions of psychology and environment scales. However, no statistical difference was found with regard to the 5-HTT genotypes and alleles between adolescents with violent behaviors and normal controls. The rate of prediction accuracy was not significantly improved when 5-HTT gene polymorphism was taken into the model.
CONCLUSIONThe violent crime of adolescents was closely related with social and environmental factors. No association was found between 5-HTT polymorphisms and adolescent violence criminal behavior.

AIMTo investigate the sweat regulation mechanism of human body.
METHODSArm muscular work was performed on bicycle ergometer by eight healthy male subjects on 20 W and 40 W work loads lasting 10 min or 20 min in 16 degrees C and 21 degrees C ambient temperature. Sweat, metabolic rate and corresponding skin and core temperature changes were measured during different periods.
RESULTSSweat varied directly with ambient temperature and there were the corresponding changes in mean skin temperature, rectal temperature and metabolic rate. And when the work load was elevated, the skin temperature at chest and metabolic rate increased as sweat increased. There were no differences in the physiological indices between 20 W 20 min and 20 W 10 min, but mean skin temperature and sweat rate during 40 W 20 min work were higher than 40 W 10 min while metabolic rate did not change. The time when chest temperature arrived at the threshold was in correspondence with obvious sweat onset. Both local skin temperature at chest and metabolic rate were significantly correlated with sweat, but the latter was stronger. The regression equation relating metabolic rate and sweat rate was compound function.
CONCLUSIONSkin temperature was important for sweat onset, and the sweat predicted model based on the metabolic rate or ambient temperature was more suitable and practical.

Objective To investigate the prevention of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis or bone loss in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients by Bugu capsules.Methods Sixty-six patients with SLE were randomly divided into A and B groups:34 patients in Group A were treated by glucocorticoid and Bugu capsules,and 32 patients in Group B by glucocorticoid alone.All patients were measured for bone mineral density (BMD) in Wards triangle,and for related biochemical parameters such as serum calcium, phosphonium,alkaline phosphatase,parathyroid hormone (PTH) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) before and after the treatment.As the control group,thirty healthy subjects were measured for the above parameters.Results There was significant difference in the serum level of IL-6,calcium and PTH between the Group B and con- trol group (P<0.01).The occurrence rate of osteoporosis or bone loss in group A was significant lower than that in group B [2/34 (5.88%) vs 9/32 (28.13%),P=0.0364].Conclusion Bugu capsules can prevent glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis or bone loss in SLE patients,possibly by restoring the balance among serum IL-6,calcium and PTH.

OBJECTIVETo observe effect of porcine relaxin(pRLX) on NO production of human microvascular endothelial cells(HMVECs) and discuss its possible mechanism.
METHODSiNOS and cNOS expression of HMVECs with or without pRLX were detected using western blotting. NO production of HMVECs with pRLX at different concentration or different time were determined by method of Griess. NO production of pRLX of HMVECs plus Non-selective NOS inhibitor NG-monomethyl-L-arginine(L-NMMA), selective iNOS inhibitor aminoguanidine(AG) or nuclear factors-kappaB (NF-kappaB) inhibitor pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate(PDTC) were also analysed.
RESULTSpRLX promoted iNOS protein expression of HMVECs, but not cNOS protein expression. NO production of HMVECs was promoted by pRLX on concentration-dependent pattern instead of time-dependent one. AG, L-NMMA and PDTC were showed to block the effect of pRLX on NO production of HMVECs.
CONCLUSIONpRLX promote iNOS expression and NO production of HMVECs.
