PBL is a modern model of classroom teaching. We have introduced it into the teaching of Microbiology. As a result, the students’ learning abilities have been raised to a higher level, and their learning autonomy and achievement have been improved. The combination of PBL method with traditional teaching methods achieved a good effect.

To research the association between primary progressive pterygium and tear film.
●METHODS: Totally 60 cases of primary progressive pterygium from September 2012 to June 2013 in our hospital were enrolled. The pterygium eye was for observation group and the contralateral eye as the control group. The differences of eye symptoms, tear film break-up time ( BUT ), Schirmer Ⅰ test ( S Ⅰ t ), corneal fluorescein staining (FL), tear ferning test (TFT) and the conjunctival impression cytology ( ClC) were compared between two groups.
●RESULTS: The eyes in observation group had higher symptoms score, FL score, grades of conjunctival squamous metaplasia, percentage of abnormal tear ferning, but had lower BUT and density of goblet cell, the differences had statistically significance (P<0. 05); Similar S Ⅰ t results were presented in the two groups, the difference had no statistically significance (P>0. 05).
● CONCLUSlON: Primary progressive pterygium can cause a decrease in tear film stability, which in turn lead to some dry eye symptoms such as dry feeling and burning sensation, and its mechanism may be caused by multi-factors, such as density change of goblet cell and the tear fluid dynamics.
5. Construction and research of interval fingerprint
Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2013;44(4):379-382
At present, fingerprint has become an effective mean recognized internationally in controlling the quality of Chinese materia medica (CMM) or natural products. In recent years, there are some exploratory studies on the fingerprint of natural product, while only the injection of CMM has taken the fingerprint as one of the quality criteria. Other fingerprint studies on natural products were all staying in the researching phase. There are many reasons for the bottleneck of natural product fingerprint research, such as the component complexity of natural product. There are always a lot of impurity peaks in the analytic result of fingerprint, while it is very difficult to dissociate these impurity peaks by forthcoming analytic methods. Therefore we propose to construct the "interval fingerprint". The studies and analyses on the construction program, approach, model, and application problem of the "interval fingerprint" have been carried out with Shen'an Granule as the example.

BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells, the most potent antigen presenting cells known at present, have been extensively used in the immunotherapy as adjuvant. OBJECTIVE: The present study was to construct Der p 2 eukaryotic expression vector and validate its expression in the mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A single sample observation was performed at the Institute of Respiratory Disease,Xinqiao Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between May and December 2005. MATERIALS: C57BL/6 mice were included. Plambd-Der p 2 was the product of Heska Company, USA.pCI-neo plasmid was provided by the Institute of Respiratory Disease, Xinqiao Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.METHODS: Mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells were in vitro isolated and cultured.Complete Der p 2 cDNA was spliced from prokaryotic expression vector plambd-Der p 2, and then cloned into eukaryotic expression vector pCI-neo (pCI-neo-Der p 2).The positive recombinants pCl-neo-Der p 2 transfected into dendritic cells.Non-transfected and blank vector pCI-neo-transfected dendritic cells were used as controls. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Identification of pCI-neo-Der p 2 recombinant plasmid.②Detection of Der p 2 mRNA and protein expression by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western Blot techniques. RESULTS: Sequencing results showed Der p 2 cDNA in pCI-neo-Der p 2 was in coincidence with the sequence registrated in Gene Bank.RT-PCR and Western Blot results showed that expression of Der p 2 mRNA and protein could be detectable in the pCI-neo-Der p 2-transfected dendritic cells. CONCLUSION: The Der p 2 cDNA was successfully constructed into the eukaryotic expression vector, and Der p 2 gene and protein could be expressed efficiently in dendritic cells.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of combined detection of neutrophil CD64 index and C reactive protein (CRP) levels in newborn bacterial infectious diseases .Methods The retrospective analysis was performed on 139 neonates admitted to the neonatal department of our hospital from January to December 2015 ,including 72 cases in the bacterial infection group and 67 cases in the viral infection group ,and 50 healthy neonates were selected as the control group .The levels of CD64 and CRP and the positive rates were compared among 3 groups and analyzed .The sensitivity ,specificity ,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CD64 and CRP in the diagnosis of bacterial infection were analyzed .Results The CD64 index and CRP levels had statistical difference between the bacterial infection with the viral infection group and normal control group (P<0 .05) ,the CD64 index and CRP levels after treatment in the bacterial infection group were significantly decreased ,the differences were statistieally significant(P<0 .05) .The sensitivity ,specificity ,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CD64 index in the diag‐nosis of bacterial infection were 91 .7% ,92 .5% ,93 .0% and 91 .2% respectively ,which were significantly higher than those of CRP ,the differences were statistically significant (P< 0 .05).CD64 index was positively correlated with CRP (r= 0 .781 ,P<0 .01) .Conclusion The combined detection of CD64 index and CRP level helps to early diagnosis ,differential diagnosis and the therapeutic effect evaluation of bacterial infection in neonates ,moreover the diagnostic efficiency of CD64 is obviously better than that of CRP .
