Objective To explore the effect of designing and applying project teaching scheme in higher vocational nursing clinical curriculum. Methods Sophomores of nursing major in grade 2009 and 2010 were selected as experiment subjects. Lecture-based traditional teaching method was applied in tradition group (121 students in grade 2009) while project teaching was applied in reorga-nization group (128 students in grade 2010). The teaching method was evaluated through thoretical exam, vocational skill test, professional quality test and questionnaine surrey. Data were input by us-ing SPSS17.00. T-test and Ranksum test were applied. Results Vocational skill test results of tra-dition group and reorganization group were (76.67 ±13.072) and (85.48 ±10.085) respectively;professional quality test results were (74.77±13.865) and (87.04±8.982), respectively. Differences in both groups had statistical significances (P<0.001). Evaluation on the teaching method was carried out in both groups through a questionnaire. (716/1408) of students in reorganization group thought that project teaching can improve 11 items including comprehensive quality. Except for the item of the-oretical knowledge comprehension, the rest 10 items of both groups had statistical significances (P<0.001). Conclusion Implementation of project teaching in nursing clinical curriculum helps to im-prove students' professional core competence.

High levels of RNase,polysaccharides and polyphenol compounds make isolation of high quality RNA difficult. Thus it is presented an effective RNA extraction method based on the nuclease adsorbent macaloid,poly vinyl pyrrolidone,and high concentration of KAc and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether,which has successfully extracted high-quality RNA from many materials difficult to RNA isolation,such as RNase-rich rabbit liver,plant and microbial tissues rich in polysaccharides,lipids and polyphenol compounds. This method was found to be better than the ones in common use-Trizol and Guanidinium isothiocyanate,the yield of which was at least three time higher. Furtherly,small RNA was enriched from total RNA sample from rice seedling through by repeat deposit which deals with high concentration of LiCl,PEG8000 and NaCl. The small RNA gained was confirmed to be used for following molecular biological research by RT-PCR with the primers designed on osa-mir-156 sequence from rice miRNA.

Objective To investigate the variation of coagulation markers and its clinical value in type 2 diabetes patients. Methods The plasma levels of von Willebrand factor: antigen (vWF: Ag), thrombomodulin (TM), prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F 1+2 ) and P selectin were measured by ELISA in 65 patients with type 2 diabetes (including 33 patients with vascular complication) and 38 healthy people. Results The plasma level of vWF:Ag, TM, F 1+2 and P selectin in group of type 2 diabetes were significantly higher than that of normal controls ( P

Objective To observe the effects of sevoflurane and propofol on cerebral oxygen metabolism and postoperative cognitive function during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods Fifty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients aged 40-65 years old scheduled for cardiac valve replacement surgery with CPB were randomly assigned into two groups,sevoflurane group (group S) and propofol group (group P),25 in each group.Two groups of patients used the same method of anesthesia induction:midazolam 0.1 mg?kg-1,sufentanil 0.7 μg?kg-1,vecuronium 0.1 mg?kg-1,and etomidate 0.2 mg?kg-1 were intravenously injected successively,and then tracheal intubation was performed.For maintenance of anesthesia,patients of group S continuously inhaled 3%-4% sevoflurane, and patients of group P were intravenous pumped with propofol 4-6 mg?kg-1?h-1 via vein;midazolam,sufentanil and vecuronium bromide were intermittently injected in both groups.At the time points of pre-bypass (t1), nasopharynx temperature dropping to constant temperature regularly ( t2 ) ,nasopharynx temperature rising to constant temperature regularly ( t3 ) ,1 h after the end of CPB ( t4 ) ,and 6 h after the end of CPB ( t5 ) ,blood from radial artery and right jugular bulb was harvested for blood gas analysis,and mini-mental state examination( MMSE) score were evaluated before and 24 and 48 h after the surgery. Results The jugular venous bulb oxygen saturation( SjvO2 ) in the two groups were both increased during T2 period and then decreased during t3 period, but arteriovenous oxygen content difference ( AVDO2 ) and oxygen extraction rate (O2ER) were both decreased during t2 period and then increased during t3 period.There was no significant difference between the two groups during t2 and t3 period (P>0.05).MMSE scores of the two groups after operation were all less than those before operation,but that was significantly higher in the sevoflurane group than in the propofol group 24 h after the surgery ( t=4.34,P<0.05) . Conclusion The two anesthesia methods can meet the need of valve replacement surgery and maintain the cerebral oxygen balance during CPB period, but sevoflurane anesthesia has fewer influences in post-operation mental nerve functional changes.

Flavonoids is one of the biggest families of the plant-derived secondary metabolites with structural diversity. Until now, over 10 000 kinds of flavonoids with distinct structures have been purified and identified from plants, and some of them possess a range of important pharmacological effects, such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory and so on. So far, a number of genes and enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of flavonoids have been reported, especially, a great of progress has been achieved in the synthetic biology of flavonoids in the recent years. Herein, based upon a brief introduction on the biosynthesis of flavonoids, this review summarizes the research advances in synthetic biology of flavonoids in the past two decades (2001-2021), highlighting the cell factories construction of the representative flavonoids. And, a brief discussion and prospects of the relevant metabolic bottlenecks and optimizing strategies are proposed.

The study aims to characterize and compare interferon reference standards from 5 manufacturers. By testing molecular mass and trypsin-digested peptide mass mapping, the amino acid sequence was verified and post-translational modifications such as disulfide bond were identified. Results show that the molecular mass and amino acid sequence were consistent with theory; the disulfide bonds of 4 lots of interferon were Cys1-Cys98/Cys29-Cys138, 1 lot was Cys29-Cys139/Cys86-Cys99; N-terminal "+Met", acetyl N-terminal and Met oxidation were identified in part of the sample. UPLC-MS can be used to characterize and compare interferon reference standards from different manufacturers.

The production technology for the first generation of biofuels has been made great achievements and some countries, such as USA, EU countries, and Brazil, have formed successful biofuel industrial chains. Cellulose ethanol, a representative of the second generation of biofuels and a kind of more promising alternative fuels, has not yet got enough key technological breakthroughs and its large scale commercial production still needs rather some time to realize. Now it is in the early stage of transition to the second generation of biofuels. Taking the development of second generation of biofuels as their national policies, many countries have developed long-term development plans and objectives, and provided a good policy environment and strong support for it. Thus institutes and enterprises are engaging and successing in addressing key issues relating to the development of biofuels. At the mean time, some important issues relating to the sustainable development of biofuels have attracted people's attention.

Biomass resources are strategically vital for the sustainable development of a country.The United States has recently made a variety of plans or roadmaps and taken significant actions in order to promote the R&D of biomass resources.These plans and actions for the key issues in the development of biomass resources were analysed.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the changes of semen quality in Chinese fertile men during the past 24 years.

METHODSWe reviewed the literature on the sperm quality of Chinese fertile males published from 1985 to 2008, collected relevant data, and analyzed the changes in semen volume, sperm density, and total sperm count by linear regression.

RESULTSThere were no significant changes either in semen volume during the period of 1985-2008 (P >0. 05) , or in sperm density and total sperm count from 1985 to 1994 (P > 0.05). However, significant decreases were observed during the latter 14 years in sperm density (from 81.5 x 10(6)/ml in 1995 to 66.7 x 10(6)/ml in 2008, with a mean annual reduction of 1.40%) and total sperm count (from 257.2 x 10(6) in 1995 to 185.9 x 10(6) in 2008, with a mean annual reduction of 2. 15%) (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe semen quality of Chinese fertile men showed no significant changes from 1985 to 1995, but evidently declined from 1995 to 2008, which may be attributed to the aggravated environmental pollution induced by heavy chemical industry.
