In order to make students have integrative qualities and reform the shortage of former teaching methods in the food microbiology experiment,a new experiment teaching system was established,introducina the integrative and innovative experiment to the students gradually.The reformation of experiment in food microbiology has trained the students well and improved their special skills.Most important of all,it can offer them a chance to realize their own ideas.The students can design an innovative and integrative experiment to carry out their originalities.Good effects have been made since this system is very helpful to improve their consciousness of innovation and integrative abilities in doing experiments.

Objective To study the relationship between peripheral blood hemoglobin (HB) and blood pres- sure.Methods We performed a cross-sectional analysis in 1153 subjects aged 29-83 years.Waist circumfer- ence,HB,blood pressure,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL- C),triglycerides (TG),total cholesterol (TC) were determined.Results ①With the increasing of blood pres- sure,HB had a clearly increasing trend (HB,normotensive:137.5?14.7 vs prehypertension:143.4?14.4 vs hy- pertension:144.3?13.8 g/L,P

OBJECTIVETo classify the clinical symptoms of oligodontia and summarize the characteristics of the diseases.

METHODS33 patients with congenitally permanent teeth missing (6 or more than 6) were taken clinical examination, diagnosis, prosthetic treatment and made records of the status of tooth agenesis, systemic symptoms, and family history.

RESULTSThe symptoms of oligodontia were clinically classified into two groups: oligodontia with or without systemic syndromes. And the former has two typical kinds of diseases: anhidrotic/hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (EDA) and Rieger syndrome.

CONCLUSIONSCorrect diagnosis and early treatment for these patients are of very importance.

The present study was carried out to determine the role of 5-HT(1A) receptors in the generation and modulation of basic respiratory rhythm. Neonatal (aged 0-3 d) Sprague-Dawley rats of either sex were used. The medulla oblongata slice was prepared and the surgical procedure was performed in the modified Kreb's solution (MKS) with continuous carbogen (95% O2 and 5% CO2), and ended in 3 min. In cold MKS, a 600-700 microm single transverse slice was cut, which was rostral to the edge of area postrema and retained the hypoglossal nerve roots and some parts of the ventral respiratory group. The preparation was quickly transferred to a recording chamber and continuously perfused with carbogen-saturated MKS at a rate of 4-6 mL/min at 27-29 degrees C. Glass adsorb-electrodes containing Ag-AgCl needle were attached to the ventral roots of the hypoglossal nerve. Respiratory rhythmical discharge activity (RRDA) of the rootlets of hypoglossal nerve was recorded. Ten medulla oblongata slice preparations were divided into two groups. In group I, 5-HT(1A) receptor specific agonist (+/-)-8-hydroxy-2-(di-N-propylamino)tetralin hydrobromide (8-OHDPAT, 20 micromol/L) was added into the perfusion solution for 10 min first, after washing out, the 5-HT(1A) antagonist [4-iodo-N-[2-[4-methoxyphenyl]-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-2-pyridynyl-benzamide hydrochloride] (PMPPI, 10 micromol/L) was applied to the perfusion solution for 10 min. In group II, after application of 8-OHDPAT for 10 min, additional PMPPI was added into the perfusion solution for 10 min. The discharges of the rootlets of hypoglossal nerve were recorded. Signals were amplified and band-pass filtered (100-3.3 kHz). Data were sampled (1-10 kHz) and stored in the computer via BL-420 biological signal processing system. Our results showed that 8-OHDPAT increased the respiratory cycle (RC) and expiratory time (TE) as well as reduced the integral amplitude (IA), but the changes of the inspiratory time (TI) were not statistically significant. PMPPI induced a significant decrease in RC, TE and TI, but the changes of IA were not statistically significant. The effect of 8-OHDPAT on the respiratory rhythm was partially reversed by additional application of PMPPI. Taken together with previous results, 5-HT(1A) receptors may play an important role in the modulation of RRDA in the medulla oblongata slice preparation of neonatal rats.
