In order to change the situations such as students’passivity and low enthusiasm in the traditional experimental teaching of Microbiology and improve students’comprehensive qualities,exploration and attempt on experimental teaching reforms including teaching contents,teaching modes,laboratory management and evaluation system of examination were done.Teaching practices showed that the normalized ex- periment syllabus based on the correct orientation of experimental teaching of Microbiology,the actualization of teaching mode of basic skill training-integrated experiment-designed experiment and the management of opening laboratory were effective measures in improving experimental teaching of Microbiology.

AIM:To observe the clinical effects of 23-gauge (23G) transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy for idiopathic macular hole.
METHODS: In this retrospective study, 28 eyes of 28 consecutive patients who underwent 23 - gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy for idiopathic macular hole between January 2013 and October 2013 in our hospital were evaluated. The follow-up time was 3-12mo. The operation effects were analyzed.
RESULTS:The macular hole was closed in 27 eyes of 28 eyes which underwent 23G transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy and not closed in 1 eye after surgery. Best-corrected visual acuity at postoperative 1, 3mo was significantly improved compared to pre-operation (χ2=8-65, P=0. 003;χ2=10. 33, P=0. 001). The macular hole was closed as shown by OCT. Intraoperative incision was sutured in 5 cases ( 18%) . There was no statistically significant difference in intraocular pressure between pre-operation and post - operation. No post - operative complications such as endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage came up.
CONCLUSION: 23G transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy is observed to be safe and effective technique in the treatment of macular hole. It is therefore our preferred system for straightforward macular surgery.

OBJECTIVE: Polymorphism of interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) gene was found being related with the susceptibility to several immune-related diseases. For the terminal differentiation of IL-17-producing effecter T-helper cells in vivo, the IL-23R gene is very important. As proved recently, Th17 cells might have a great influence to the pathogenesis of allergic airways disease. Our intention was paid to find any association between the polymorphisms in the IL-23R gene and allergic rhinitis(AR) in Chinese population. METHOD: A group of patients was involved in a case-control comparison, consisted of 239 AR patients and 271 control Chinese subjects. The study claimed to take some blood samples for DNA extraction and select 3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in IL-23R individually genotyped by the PCR-RFLP method. RESULT: Comparison with the controls, a great growing prevalence of the homozygous rs7517847 GG genotype and G allele appeared in AR patients (P < 0.05, respectively). Besides, a great increased frequency of the GGA haplotypes was presented in AR patients in comparison with the controls (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The results demonstrated a important association pattern between polymorphisms in IL-23R and AR in Chinese population. Between rs7517847 in an SNP of IL-23R and AR, a great association was identified.

Objective:To detect serum levels of placenta growth factor(PIGF)throughout normal pregnancy and in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension(PIH)as well as to explore the relationship between P1GF and pathogenesis of PIH. Methods: Serum specimens were collected from 51 healthy pregnant women as a control group and 33 women suffered from PIH as third trimester of normal pregnancy(P＜0.001).There was a trend that serum levels of P1GF in PIH group decreased with the severity of PIH(P＜0.001).Conclusion:PlGF play important roles in placental angiogenesis throughout pregnancy, and decreased serum levels of PlGF is associated with PIH.
