To explore micro-course suitable for human morphology in high vocational nursing pro-fession and meanwhile attempt to make a combination between micro-course and flipped-classroom in some chapter, accompanied by taking advantage of the digital equipments such as computer, tablet and smart phone to carry out teaching. Based on digitization, we aim to lead the fragmented time and energy of students to this beloved teaching method, realizing “self-inquiry learning before class, interactive learning between teacher and students in class, effect assessment after class to reinforce the independent participation and inspire the interest of students in human morphology learning.

Vaccination is a main measure for protecting chickens against Marek's disease,while it is not able to suppress the infection,proliferation,transmission,and virulence enhancement on Marek's disease virus.Inhibiting the proliferation of Marek's disease virus in chicken is therefore an im-portant option for enhancing defense effectiveness.In this study,a compound,DUBs-IN-1,was found to inhibit the activity of MDV049,a protease encoded by Marek's disease virus,via screening a protease inhibitor library using MDV049 as target and ubiquitin probe.Molecular docking re-vealed that DUBs-IN-1 can interact with the residues which formed the catalytic pocket of MDV049,blocking the interaction between Ub substrate and the catalytic center of MDV049,then suppress the activity of MDV049 with competitive inhibition.Using the CPE model,it was found that DUBs-IN-1 at the concentration of 0.35 and 0.70 μmol/L significantly inhibited the CPE in-duced by Marek's disease virus in CEF cells.Quantitative analysis revealed that DUBs-IN-1 inhibi-ted the proliferation of Marek's disease virus in CEF cells(P<0.01).Furthermore,it was found that the administration of 80 and 150 pg/(kg·d)of DUBs-IN-1 in chicken infected by Marek's disease virus significantly inhibited the proliferation of MDV in T cells(P<0.01).In summary,this study demonstrated that the compound DUBs-IN-1 is able to inhibit the proliferation of Marek's disease virus in chicken cells,laying a theoretical and practical foundation for further de-velopment of the drugs against Marek's disease virus.

Based on the virtual simulation of "digital embryo" in the digital teaching platform for medical morphology, this study constructs the course resources of human embryology by integrating the contents of the course, recording micro-videos, formulating course guides, and analyzing clinical cases, then implements the blended teaching model of pre-class preview, in-class discussion, and after-class expansion, and establishes a course evaluation system combining formative assessment and end-of-course assessment. Comparison of assessment scores and satisfaction questionnaire between traditional off-line teaching and blended teaching showed a significant improvement in total score, and more than 5% of the students reported a significant reduction in the difficulty of the course, while the degree of satisfaction with the course was increased by 11%. This suggests that the establishment of the blended teaching model of human embryology meets the requirements for personalized and diversified learning among students, realizes the diversity of teaching methods and teaching evaluation, and improves the quality of teaching.
