Objective To evaluate the teaching quality of AIDS and drug abuse and to provide evidences for teaching improvement.Methods Quantitative research and qualitative research was combined.Questionnaire including evaluation of curriculum,teachers and teaching quality was conducted among 273 students majored in anesthesiology and clinical medicine (2006 grade) as well as in forensic medicine,laboratory and stomatology (2008 grade) in quantitative research.Observation and indepth interview were used in qualitative research to observe the teaching process and receive students'feedback.Information about students' evaluation criterions and attitude toward teachers were collected by qualitative research.Chi-square test and descriptive statistic were used with SPSS 13.0.Results 90.8％ students thought this lesson was necessary and important and the contents were accepted by them.24.2％ students expected increasing study hours and having practice classes.Evaluation of course time,contents and importance were different by students of different majors.Average scores of students' evaluation on teachers' quality,teaching contents and teaching methods were 25.2,22.4,11.0,respectively.Three aspects of teaching methods got the lowest scores:vivid (2.71 points out of 3.0 points),interaction (2.71 points out of 3.0 points) and flexibility (2.72 out of 3.0 points).Interview results demonstrated that students have diversified demand for teaching methods and expect to increase practice lessons and multimedia teaching as well as to effective communicate between teaching and learning.Conclusions Course of AIDS and drug abuse is accepted by students.As a whole,students are basically satisfied with teachers,however,teachers and related sectors should pay more attention to teaching method improvement and teaching skill enhancement.

Brain edema is a common pathophysiological response in clinical practice.Now it is considered that aquaporin-4 (AQP4) participates in the formation and regression of brain edema,the latest research results of its structure, distribution, expression and regulation have indicated that AQP4 plays all important role in brain edema.

BACKGROUND:Network medical research contains various widely applicable networks with different structures, and construction methods. These networks are not organized in architecture yet, and there is a lack of overview about its application and research progress. OBJECTIVE:To organize various medical networks to a hierarchical architecture, and summarize their research progress. METHODS:A computer-based search of CNKI and PubMed databases was performed for articles about the network medicine published between 1999 and 2016 using the keywords ofdisease network, protein interaction network, metabolic network, gene regulatoryin English and Chinese, respectively. Then the main research contents, module property, construction methods, maturity and application progress of network medicine were discussed to predict the research direction. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The architecture of network medicine consists of molecular interaction network layer (interactome), disease network layer (diseasome) and drug network layer (drugome). In the interactome, protein-protein interaction network, metabolic network and gene regulatory network are in the order of organisms → mammals →human, and respective networks of human have been mapped but not mature;and new networks are being built. In diseasome, many disease networks have been constructed using a single element to cluster;and cluster by new element or combined elements can be considered in the future. Given this the current pharmacology is based on protein, there are few networks in the drugome the elements that constitute the drugome are only drug and protein.

Streptomyces phage ?C31 integrase is a site-specific recombinase and introduce foreign gene to unidirectional recombination.Because of its integration mediated by ?C31 integrase without any cofactors and especially directed integration,it possesses high efficiency and stable expression of foreign gene.These advantages make it an attractive tool for genetic engineering.It has been widely used to transgene integration in mammalians and provides an opportunity to overcome the bottlenecks in the generation of transgenetic animals,such as random integration,low integral rate,low level of expression and so on.The ?C31 integrase will have a wide application in the near future.

Disuse-related osteopenia is mainly due to decrease of bone formation which relates closely to the changes of osteoblast function and differentiation. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells which are multipotent cells present in bone marrow can differentiate into osteoblast. The factors which regulate the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were introduced. This will increase the understanding and aid in the prevention and treatments of bone loss to create a healthier life for astronauts and patients after disuse.

Objective To discuss the value of essential hypertension arteriosclerosis as a predictor of early renal damage.Methods 90 cases of essential hypertension with early renal damage were selected and statistical analysis to result of AASI,Scr,ACR and eGFR with SPSS17.0、Excel statistical analysis software were carried out.Group A was defined as AASI≥0.55 and group B was defined as AASI＜0.55.Compared the two groups with relevant analysis,and then built multivariate linear regression equation.Results ① The group A showed higher age(P＜0.01),24 h DBP(P＜0.05),ACR(P＜0.01),ACR(+) rate(P＜0.01)and lower eGFR (P＜ 0.01),compared with the group B.②AASI showed a positive correlation with age (r＝ 0.483,P＝ 0.000),24 h SBP (r＝ 0.350,P ＝0.001),ACR (r＝0.474,P＝ 0.000),and a negative correlation with eGFR (r＝-0.383,P＝ 0.000).Two multiple linear regressions showed that AASI was associate with eGFR (B ＝-0.001,P＝ 0.038) and ACR(B ＝ 0.025,P ＝ 0.000) independent of other factors.Conclusion ①Arteriosclerosis is closely related with age and blood pressure mutation rate day and night.②Arteriosclerosis has a closely relationship with essential hypertension early renal damage,and can predict early renal damage in hypertension patients.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is one of the most prevalent growth factors in the central nervous system (CNS).In the development and maturation processes of the nervous system,BDNF plays an important role in maintaining neuronal function,promoting neuronal regeneration after injury,and preventing neuronal degeneration,etc.At present,many researchers are being dedicated to the research of BDNF for treatment of brain ischemia and have achieved some progress.This article reviews the molecular biological characteristics and biological function of BDNF,roles and mechanisms in cerebral ischemia,and the possibility as an intervention target of cerebral ischemia.

Objective: Our purpose was to study the predictive factors of interferon(IFN) therapeutic effectiveness. Methods:Genotypes of HCV, HCV RNA quantities, β2 microglobulin, 2′- 5′oligoadenylate synthetase, and peripheral blood lymohocyte subgroup were detected by using specific primer PCR assay, energy transference technique of signal primer, sheet chromatography, radioimmunoassay, and APAAP immunoenzyme bridge technique respectively in 20 blood samples of patients with chronic hepatitis C. Results:(1)The patients who had lower level of HCV RNA before treatment and had continuing decreased HCV RNA level after treatment had good response to IFN treatment in follow-up survey. (2)The patients with HCV-Ⅲ type had complete response much more than those with HCV-Ⅱ type (P＜0.05).(3)The patients with lower level of 2′- 5′oligoadenylate synthetase before treatment might have good response to IFN treatment. (4) There was no significant change in β2 microglobulin level before and after treatment and in different response groups before treatment.(5) The CD+3, CD+4, and CD+4/CD+8 in peripheral blood increased after treatment. The patients in complete response group had higher level CD+3, CD+4, and CD+4/CD+8 than those in part response and non-response groups, but there was no significance in statisitcs. Conclusion:The HCV RNA quantities, HCV genotypes, 2′- 5′oligoadenylate synthetase level before treatment were predictive factors of IFN therapeutic effectiveness. The changes of HCV RNA level in treatment and follow-up survey had important significance in therapeutic evaluation, β2 microglobulin level, and lymphocyte subgroup before treatment were not used as predictive factors for IFN therapeutic effectiveness.

Objective To investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome(MS)and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)in non-obese and non-diabetic hypertensive patients.Method 84 non-obese and non-diabetic hyperlensive patients were divided into 42 hypertensive patients with NAFLD and 42 hypertensive patients without NAFLD by abdominal ultrasonography examination.Body mass index(BMI),blood pressure,fast and OGGT 2 hour plasma glucose,fast and OGGT 2 hour plasma insulin,plasma lipids and aminotransferase were measured in the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the variables independently associated with MS.Result BMI,triglycerides,fast insulin,2 hour insulin,aminotransferase,HOMA-IB and MS prevalence rate in the group with NAFLD were significantly higher than these in the group without NAFLD.Multivariate logistic regression analysis(forward LR)showed NAFLD:were independently associated with MS.Conclusion MS play a role not only in occurrence of NAFLD but also in liver injury.
