Objective To explore the teaching effect of sandwich teaching in medical psychol-ogy. Methods Totally 101 preventive medicine majors of five-year program were divided into two groups:control group(n=52) and experimental group(n=49). Students in control group were taught by traditional teaching while those in experimental group by sandwich teaching method. Teaching qualities were evaluated by final exam and questionnaire. Exam scores were expressed as x±s and were ana-lyzed by t test. Questionnaine results were expressed as number of people and percentage. Results Scores of experimental group in multiplechoice, case study and final grade (30.347±4.171, 32.031± 2.781, 74.296±5.642, respectively) were better than those of control group (28.520±4.443, 28.760± 4.305, 70.010±7.783, respectively), with significant differences between two groups(P<0.05 for all). But there was no significant difference between two groups in short-answer questions score (11.918± 2.431, 12.731±2.523, respectively)(P>0.05). More than 80.0% students in experimental group thought sandwich teaching improved their communication collaborative capacity , logical thinking ability and problem solving ability, etc. Conclusions With satisfactory teaching effect, sandwich teaching promotes teaching quality.

BACKGROUND: Hepatic oval cells (HOCs) possess the potential of self-renewal, replication, and clone, proliferation and differentiation into mature hepatocytes under a certain condition. HOCs can be used as biomaterial for constructing biological artificial liver in vitro, employed for in vivo transplantation, as well as for tissue engineering as seed cells. HOCs can be widely used for improving clinical treatment of liver diseases. OBJECTIVE: To establish adult Wistar rat models of HOC proliferation, to perform/n vitro isolation and culture of HOCs, and to study the possibility of induction and differentiation of HOCs into hepatucytes. DESIGN: Observational study. SETTING: Institute of Gastroenterology, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University. MATERIALS: Experiments were performed at the Laboratory of Institute of Gastroenterology of Nanfang Hospital from December 2003 to February 2006. Thirty-six healthy male Wistar rats aged 3-4 months (150-200 g) were provided by Experimental Animal Center of Southern Medical University. METHODS: Male Wistar rats were orally fed with ethionine received two-thirds partial hepatectomy (2/3 PH). HOCs were harvested and purified by two-steps perfusion and Percoll density gradient centrifugation, and then cultured in vitro and induced with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), oncostatin M (OSM) and fibroblast growth factor-4 (FGF4). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Identification and differentiation of HOCs. RESULTS: The concentration of HOCs was about 1.34×108 L-1 in each rat model after in vitro isolation. These cells were round, oval or polygon, about 1/6 1/3 the size of normal hepatocytes. The nucleus-cytoplasm ratio was relatively large. After 2 weeks, clone-like proliferation of HOCs could be observed. Laser scanning confocal microscopy indicated positive expression of stem cells markers Thy-1 and C-kit in cytoplasm and membrane of HOCs. Immunocytochemistry demonstrated positive stem cells marker alpha fetoprotein (AFP) in cytoplasm of HOCs. HOCs can stably passage and its shape gradually changed after inducing with HGF, OSM and FGF4. HOC volume became larger and HOCs lost their ability of sticking to the wall of culture flask. Apparent positive stain of cytoplasm albumin (Alb) was detected 14 days after induction, and the positive ratio increased along with the extension of inducing duration. Results of cytochemistry indicated a brown or black deposit after glucose-6-phosphotase (G-6-P) staining and red particles after periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining. CONCLUSION: Adult Wistar rat models of HOC proliferation are replicated by ethionine feeding combined with 2/3 PH. HOCs can be obtained through collagenase perfusion and Percoll density gradient centrifugation. Rat HOCs can be passaged and cultured in vitro. Under a certain condition, HOCs can be induced and differentiated into hepatocytes.

Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2023;32(1):50-55
Objective:To explore the effect of childhood trauma on non-suicidal self-injury and the chain mediating effect of rejection sensitivity and experiential avoidance.Methods:From June 2021 to April 2022, totally 1 130 college students were investigated with childhood trauma questionnaire-short form(CTQ-SF), the tendency to expect rejection scale, acceptance and action questionnaire-2nd edition(AAQ-Ⅱ) and Ottwa self-injury inventory(OSI). SPSS 25.0 and Mplus 8.0 software were used for descriptive analysis, Spearman correlation analysis, structural equation model construction and Bootstrap mediation effect test.Results:Correlation analysis showed that childhood trauma (34.64±8.25), rejection sensitivity (58.02±9.54), experiential avoidance (23.90±7.96) and non-suicidal self-injury (0(0, 1)) were all significantly positively correlated with each other( r=0.163-0.532, all P<0.01). Structural equation model showed that empirical avoidance played a partial mediating effect between childhood trauma and non-suicidal self-injury in college students, with an effect size of 0.045(95% CI=0.013-0.084). Rejection sensitivity and experiential avoidance played a chain mediating effect between childhood trauma and non-suicidal self-injury in college students, with an effect size of 0.017(95% CI=0.005-0.035). Conclusion:Childhood trauma can directly predict non-suicidal self-injury in college students, and it can also indirectly predict non-suicidal self-injury through the partial mediation effect of experiential avoidance and the chain mediation effect of rejection sensitivity and experiential avoidance.

OBJECTIVE:
To observe the expression of plasma thrombospondin-1(TSP-1) at different time in protein-overload rats and to analyze the relationship between plasma TSP-1 expression and renal interstitial fibrosis.
METHODS:
Forty-five male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a bovine serum albumin (BSA) group and a control group after uninephrectomization. Rats with protein overload nephropathy induced by intraperitoneally injected BSA were used as a model (control group received saline). At the 1st, 5th, and 9th weekend, the level of 24 h proteinuria and renal function was assessed. Pathological changes were observed by electron and fluorescent microscopy. The expression of plasma TSP-1 was detected by Western blot. The relationship between plasma TSP-1 and tubulointerstitial lesions (TIL) score was analyzed.
RESULTS:
Twenty-four hour proteinuria and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) significantly increased in protein-overload rats compared with those in the control group. While protein-overload rats developed more severe fibrosis in the tubular and interstitium. Glomerulosclerosis index and TIL score were upregulated compared with those in the control group. The expression of TSP-1 increased significantly at the 5th and 9th weekend. The expression of TSP-1 was positively correlated with TIL score (r=0.836, P<0.01).
CONCLUSION
Plasma TSP-1 expression is positively correlated with renal interstitial fibrosis in protein-overload rats. Plasma TSP-1 may be used for an important biomarker of renal interstitial fibrosis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of ditching for drain on the control of the breed of Oncomelania hupensis snails in beaches of Dongting Lake. Methods From November,2009 to November,2012,an O. hupensis snail infested beach of the Yueyang jail and an O. hupensis snail infested beach of Junshan District were selected as research fields in the eastern Dongting Lake area,and the former,as the intervention field,was performed with the ditching for drain by excavators and the latter,as the control field,was not. Results Before the project implemented,the average soil moisture contents on the beaches in dry seasons of the two fields were both about 35.56%. After the project implemented,in the intervention field,the average soil mois?ture content was 26.53%which was significantly lower than that(35.56%)in the control field(F=6.53,P<0.05). The under?ground water levels in different heights in the intervention field were lower than those in the control field (χ2 = 33.33,P <0.05). Before the project implemented,the natural death rates of the snails were 0.98%and 0.89%in the two research fields re?spectively(P>0.05),and after the project implemented(in 2012),no adult and young snails were found in the interventional field,but in the control field,the average densities of living snails and young snails were 29.37 snails/0.1 m2 and 213±108.45 snails/0.1 m2 respectively. Conclusion The intervention of ditching for drain can decrease the soil moisture contents quickly and change the ecological condition,therefore,can control the breed of O. hupensis snails in the beaches of Dongting Lake.
