Objective To understand the basic experimental teaching of functional science in order to promote transformative learning. Methods Random sampling questionnaire survey was con-ducted among 274 students (2011 grade, 5-year-program) majored in clinical medicine, medical lab-oratory and medical imaging in Kunming Medical University. Investigation primarily aimed at the stu-dents' learning attitude, learning objectives, and teaching content. Excel 2003 was used for data en-try, percentage of each questionnaire option was calculated and the findings were directly described. Results 94.76%(253/267) students preferred basic experiment; 82.40%(220/267) students hoped to open long term laboratory;97.38%(260/267) students thought that basic experiment could help pro-mote understanding and theoretical knowledge of physiology; 98.50%(262/267) students thought the explain of the basic theories and the operation prior to each experiment were good; 78.27%(209/267) students were willing to strengthen the basic operation while only 59.18%(158/267) students would like to analyze the experiment results. Conclusions Basic experiment of functional science is wel-comed by students. Due to the lack of independent thinking ability of students, experiment course should de designed to promote interest-oriented transformative learning and to culture transformation perspective, finally achieving the transformative learning.

In order to study on the properconcentrations for patch test(PT),and the availability of PT w ith the suspected cosm etic products used by the patients,PT ofvarious cosm etic products w as per- form ed on 35 healthy subjects and 38 patients w ith non-contactderm atitis and non-eczem a by using dif- ferent concentrations of cosm etic products and their vehicles in cosm etic products.In 62 patients w ith cosm etic derm atitis PT w as done using their ow n suspected causative cosm etic products.The results show ed thatm ost products could be tested “w ith originalproducts”,w ithout dilution,such as skin care products(cream ),lipsticks,hair care products(hair cream ,hair oil,m ousse),others had to be diluted, such as hair dyes,hotoiland soap,to 2% solution,sham poos to 5% solution,perm anent-w ave solutions and perfum es to 5% or 10% in distilled w ater,nailvarnish to 5% or 10% in acetone.The totalpositive rate of PT by using suspected cosm etics w as 95.16% .Our results indicate that PT concentrations and vehicles vary w ith different products in suspected cosm etics,PT of the suspected causative cosm etic products is an im portant m eans for the diagnosis of cosm etic derm atitis.Our study provides necessary data for the further study ofChinese standard cosm etic screening series allergens for PT.

AIM:To observe the effects of adiponectin on injury of the 3-4 d SD rat cardiomyocytes induced by the intervention of H2O2.METHODS:Primary cardiomyocytes were obtained from neonatal rat and were cultured by enzymatic digestion methods.The molecular marker was observed by ?-actin immunocytochemistry.Primary cultured 3-4 d cells were used in experiment,and the injury model was established by H2O2,and adiponectin and Ara-A were used for pre-treatment before cell culture.The morphological change of cardiomyocytes was observed under electron microscope.The contents of LDH,MDA and the activity of SOD were measured.The apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was detected by agarose gel electrophoresis and Annexin V/PI staining with flow cytometry.RESULTS:Adiponectin pretreatment significantly decreased the release of LDH(P

Objective To investigate the changes of the serum level of highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)in patients with cerebrovascular disease and its clinical significance. Methods The serum level of hs-CRP in 60 patients with acute cerebral infarction and 60 patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage and 40 healthy persons were determined.All the patients were scored by clinic neurological deficit scale(NDS),and were compared in groups. Results The serum level of hs-CRP in patients with acute cerebral infarction and with acute cerebral hemorrhage were significantly higher than that in normal controls(t=19.712 13.217 P <0.01).There was no obvious difference between the patients with acute cerebral infarction and with acute cerebral hemorrhage. Conclusion The serum level of hs-CRP was closely correlated with the severity of cerebrovascular disease.

The heel vessel belongs to the eight extra meridians in human meridian system, which is closely related to the human motion function. Balance function plays an essential role in successful completion of activities in daily life, so the physiological function and pathology of heel vessel as well as human balance function are analyzed, and from the aspect of running course of heel vessel and syndrome, the correlation between heel vessel and human balance function is explored, and the application status of acupoints related to heel vessel for balance dysfunction is introduced. It is believed that heel vessel is closely related to human balance function, especially the motion regulation mechanisms of balance function, and it is hoped that new ideas and methods can be provided for acupuncture treatment for the balance function disorders.

Objective To explore the clinical application of adaptive support ventilation (ASV) in elderly patients with acute respiratory failure.Methods A total of 46 mechanically ventilated patients aged over 65 years with acute respiratory failure admitted from January 2013 to June 2015 were enrolled.Comparison between the ASV mode and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) mode was carried out in respects of the impacts of both modes on respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics, oxygen availability and comfort rate.Results Difference between ASV and SIMV in respiratory rate was [(20.84 ±4.04) vs.(24.50 ±4.60) cycles/min, t =4.04, P ＜0.05], in inspiratory resistance was [(13.24 ±4.76) vs.(16.54±5.25) cmH2O/ (L·s), t=3.16, P＜0.05], in mean airway pressure was [(13.58±2.58) vs.(16.63 ±1.57) mmHg, t =6.84, P＜0.05], in peak airway pressure was [(25.96 ± 3.69) vs.(27.87 ± 2.45) mmHg, t =2.92, P ＜ 0.05], and tidal volume was [(378.41 ± 85.61) vs.(341.52 ± 86.84) mL, t =2.05, P ＜ 0.05], and comfort rate of patients was increased in ASV mode.There were no statistically significant differences in arterial oxygen partial pressure, carbon dioxide partial pressure, lactate, heart rate, mean arterial pressure and central venous pressure between the two modes (PP ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Compared with the synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation mode, the adaptive support ventilation mode can improve the respiratory mechanics and can increase the comfort rate in the elderly patients with mechanical ventilation.

To investigate the effect of C/EBP βon the neuroinflammation.Recently,neuroinflamma-tion research mainly focused on C/EBP β,more and more researches indicated that C/EBP βmay play an important role in neurodegenerative diseases.We searched the published papers in PubMed,CNKI,and Wan Fang date bases in June 2015.The key words were used asCCAAT enhancer binding protein beta,Neu-ron,Neuroinflammationand so on.According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, we summaried and analyzed the literatures.Eventually,42 articles were adapted,most of which were foused on the functions and mechanisms of C/EBP βin neuroinflammation.C/EBP βparticipate in multiple signaling pathways of neu-roinflammation,and the regulation mechanism is complicated.Abrogation of C/EBPβexpression or its down-regulation by gene regulation may may serve as a therapeutic target to attenuate deleterious effects in neural tissue and ultimately prevent the development of neurodegenerative disorders.

Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of adiponectin gene (SNP+45 and SNP+276) were screened in Chinese population. The results showed that the distribution of SNP+45 genotypes were significantly different and G/G genotype in type 2 diabetic population appeared more frequently than that in non-diabetic population. It suggests that adiponectin gene seems to be the susceptive gene in Chinese type 2 diabetics.
