Objective To study the effect of morphine on gene expression of enzymes involved in salvage and catabolism pathways of purine nucleotides metabolism in nerve cells.Methods PC12 cells were cultivated and divided into morphine treated groups which were treated with morphine(10 mg?L~(-1) culture) for 12,24,48, 72 h,and control groups which were treated with normal saline for 12,24,48 and 72 h.Total RNA of PC12 cells was isolated.HGPRT,AK,ADK mRNA levels were determined by using the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR); the ?-actin mRNA expression was used as an internal control.Results As compared with corresponding control groups,HGPRT mRNA levels in PC12 cells were increased significantly after 12 and 24 h treatment with morphine(P

Based on the teaching concept of constructivism, this study aims to promote independent inquiry-based learning and clinical thinking among students and establish the guiding ideology of "full participation, process control, in-depth discussion, and expansion of thinking". A blending learning model was adopted with offline inquiry-based group learning and in-class defense and comment, as well as online teacher-student interaction and supervision to promote learning. Case-problem-based learning (CPBL) of pathophysiology was carried out among the medical students in the class of 2017, and process management was strengthened to effectively manage the two key links of data retrieval and group discussion. The analysis of 176 teaching evaluations collected at the end of the semester show that in terms of the overall evaluation of CPBL teaching, 162 students (92.05%) had high evaluation on teaching objectives, organization, cases, and personal gains and held a very or relatively favorable attitude. There were more negative feedbacks on "appropriate time allocation"; 21 students (11.93%) held a relatively or very disapproving attitude, and 149 students (84.66%) "felt very tired". In terms of teaching effect evaluation, 150 students (85.23%) strongly or relatively agreed that CPBL teaching may help to understand professional knowledge, stimulate learning enthusiasm and initiative, improve problem solving ability, emphasize clinical practice to cultivate clinical thinking, supervise and promote learning, and enhance team cooperation and teacher-student communication. In terms of the evaluation of teachers, 167 students (94.89%) thought that teachers were rigorous, responsible, and enthusiastic in teaching, attached importance to process management, and did well in effective guidance and thinking inspiration (strongly or relatively agree). The above results suggest that the CPBL teaching reform of pathophysiology based on process management can effectively promote in-depth inquiry-based independent learning and the cultivation of clinical thinking and improve teaching effectiveness, but further improvement is needed for teaching arrangement and time allocation.

Objective To explore the prevalence of depressive disorder in the Mosuo ethnic minority in Ninglang district,Yunnan Province.Methods By stratified random sampling,1 121 Mosuo subjects aged 15 or above were selected and assessed by the MINI-international neuropsychiatric interview according to the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-V-TR Axis I Disorders-Patient Edition for mental disorders.Results The standardized time-point prevalence of major depressive disorder in Mosuo nationality was 1.74%,and 1.69% (95 % CI =1.32%-2.15 %) in males and 1.77% (95 % CI =1.39%-2.15 %) in females.There was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of major depressive disorder between males and females (x2 =0.051,P>0.05).The standardized time-point prevalence of dysthymic disorder in Mosuo nationality was 0.78%,and 0.66% (95% CI=0.54%-0.78%) in males and 0.88% (95% CI=0.74%-1.02%) in females (x2=1.232,P>0.05).Those aged 40-54 years old had the highest adjusted prevalence of depressive episodes(1.48% (95%CI=0.77%-2.18%)).Conclusion The prevalence of depressive disorder in Mosuo nationality is in a low level,and the middle-age Mosuo people has the highest time-point prevalence.
