Aim To investigate effects of cinnamic acid (CINN) on the differentiation of MGC-803 cells. Methods MGC-803 cells were treated by CINN (1, 2 and 3 mmol?L-1), and the rate of growth suppression was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Plate clone formation assay was carried out to detect the phenotypes of colony formation. FACS analysis was used to analyze the cell cycle. The activity of telomerase was examined by telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) PCR-silver staining. Results CINN showed significant inhibitory effect on growth of these gastric carcinoma cells at 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. Treated with CINN for 48 h, cell cycle showed G0/G1 phase arrest, and the activity of telomerase was inhibited significantly. The colony-forming rate was reduced drastically (P

To solve the problems in traditional experiment teaching,we transform the static,purely verifying experiments into dynamic ones that both reflect the substance changes and verify theories.These reforms in experiments are intended to arouse the students' interest,inspire their creative thinking,cultivate their research skills and improve experiment teaching quality.

Aim To investigate effects of 1,25-(OH)2D3 on the differentiation of MGC-803 cells.Methods MGC-803 cells were treated by 1,25-(OH)2D3(10-6、10-5、10-4 mmol?L-1),and the rate of growth suppression was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay.Plate clone formation assay was carried out to detect the phenotypes of colony formation.FACS analysis was used to analyze the cell cycle.The activity of telomerase was examined by telomeric repeat amplification protocol(TRAP) PCR-silver staining.Results 1,25-(OH)2D3 showed significant inhibitory effect on growth of these gastric carcinoma cells at 24,48,72 and 96 h.Treated with 1,25-(OH)2D3 for 48 h,cell cycle showed G0/G1 phase arrest,and the activity of telomerase was inhibited significantly.The colony-forming rate was reduced drastically(P

Introducing the PBL teaching mode in regional anatomy teaching accords with the need of 21centuries social development for the highquality medical science personnel training and the regional anatomy course characteristic, and is beneficial to the students’ changing their study concept and raising their learning ability. It is also an effective way for allaround quality education.
