Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2011;32(5):473-476
Objective: To synthesize a new type of cationic polymers (β-ammo esters) (PBAE) and to study its role as a gene vector. Methods: PBAE was synthesized by the Michael addition reaction. PBAE/pDNA complex nanoparticles were prepared by self-assembly, and the gene tranfection efficiency mediated by the nanoparticles into HEK293 cells in vitro was observed. Results: When weight ratio of PBAE/pDNA was 50: 1, pDNA was completely wrapped. And the transfection efficiency of PBAE/pDNA nanoparticles (PBAE/pDNA weight ratio being 200: 1) was significantly higher than PEI/pDNA nanoparticles (43.3% ± 3.7% vs 30.3% ± 2.1%, P < 00.05). Conclution: Cationic poly(β-amino esters) can electrostatically bind to and condense anionic DNA into nanometersized parties. PBAE/pDNA nanopartides has a high transfection efficiency in in vitro transfection experiments.

To investigate the significance and age characteristics of CVB infections among common diseases of children.CVB Ag and CVB IgM were detected from the sera in 967 children in hospital. Positive rates of CVB Ag and CVB IgM in the upper respiratory tract infection group, the lower respiratory tract infection group, the myocarditis group, the asthma group, the ITP group and the anaphylactoid purpura group were higher than the control group.Most of the children with positive CVB were in the 0~1 year age group and 1~3 years age group had respiratory tract infection. With increasing age,the number of the children with respiratory tract infection gradually decreased,while number of the children with myocarditis,asthma,ITP and anaphylactoid purpura increased in those children with positive CVB. It suggests that, beside respiratory tract infection,CVB plays an important role in pathogenesis of myocarditis,asthma,ITP and allergic purpura in children.

As an emerging discipline, medical psychology undergraduate education is restricted by many conditions, such as subject orientation, training objectives, curriculum setting, teaching con-tent, teaching material system, teaching mode, professional practice, assessment and graduation and so on. To improve the training quality and level, the paper explores the corresponding education strat-egy from the aspects of subject orientation, training objectives, curriculum and teaching contents. For example in the subject orientation and training objectives the principle of paying equal attention to medical and psychological disciplines is reflected, and at the same time the construction of the curricu-lum, teaching contents and curriculum system is strengthened to highlight the psychology and medical integration and mutual penetration. In the link of teaching, professional practice, graduation appraisal and award process, practical skills training and assessment are focused on, and the relevant national qualification examination is taken as award criteria.

Medical psychology master's degree graduate student course mainly includes basic cour-ses, professional courses and psychological skills training, professional practice skills learning and scientific research quality training. Due to the constraints of discipline development starting late, teachers being rela-tively weak and other objective factors, in curriculum setting, there exist problems of unclear objectives, confusing the primary with secondary, unclear standard, lacking principles, and in particular, there are obvious deficiencies in the training and cultivation of students' ! professional skills . Based on the above objective problems, we made preliminary discussion on the training objectives, the main problems, curricu-lum setting, assessment standards and principles to follow, in order to achieve the purpose of cultivating high-level application-oriented talents through curriculum design and teaching practice.
