The assessment method for pharmacology courses in top-up program of Yanjing medical college was reformed supported by the principal foundation from China capital medical university.The reform specified the assessment content and examination syllabus,formed the multilayer assessing methods and assessing modes and assessed objectively through questionnaires and investigations.The results showed that the students were satisfied with the assessment mode,degree of standardization and the implementation effect. Pharmacology teaching was effectively assessed by the new method and students′ comprehensive ability was improved.

0.05).There was a significant positive correlation between serum VEGF,NP and the degree of proteinuria in group A patients,respectively(r=0.47,0.43 Pa

Objective To detect the levels of serum neopterin(NP) and D-dimer,and explore whether NP and D-dimer levels respond to coronary artery dilatation(CAD) of Kawasaki disease(KD),and evaluate the risk factors of CAD.Methods This study were conducted on 45 children with KD.Twenty-one children were CAD and 24 cases were not CAD.Active phase serum NP,D-dimer levels were measured by sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Multiple regression analysis including platelet(PLT),monocyte(M),creatine kinase-MB(CK-MB),C-reactive protein(CRP),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),cardiac troponin I(cTnI) were studied with CAD.Results Compared with recovery phase,active phase the levels of PLT,M,CK-MB,CRP,ESR,cTnI were significantly higher(Pa

Using Vibrio fluvialis Ⅱ as host bacteria, 19 bacteriophages have been isolated from the 76 samples which were collected from Haliotis discus hannai ～growing seawater in Dalian marine culture company Dalian, liaoning province from May in 1996 to August I 1997. Ultrastructure of 19 bacteriophages were observed with electron to Bradley the results showed that of these bacteriophages belonged to Bradley A type, they have hexagonal heads of bacteriophages were identified with VP1,VP2,VP4,VP8 as representatives respectively. The phages remain stable at pH6. 0～10. 0, moreover VP2,VP4 and VP8 are rather stable at basic pHs. Although the characterization of heat inactivation course of VP4 is different from others, four phages are sensitive to heat and inactivated at 80℃ in 5 minutes. One step growth experiment showed that the eclipse period of VP1,VP2,VP4,VP8 are sensitive to heat and the eclipse period of VP1, VP2, VP4, VP8 are 42, 30, 46, 28 minutes. In this experiment we have isolated at least four different types phages, it suggest that in fact there is a population of phages in the seawater environment. The result of this study provided a way to find the potential value of phages as an indicator of pathogenic microorganisms Vibrio fluvilis Ⅱ in marine environment.

This paper presents the recent progress of the study of human brain soft-tissue deformations based on finite element method. Some possible problems and issues about the implementation of the methods are also discussed.

0.05).The change of heart rate in 2 groups was greater than that of distilled water respectively(P

Objective To investigate expression of transforming growth factor-?1(TGF-?1)and connective tissue growth factor(CTGF) protein in renal tissues,and detect the levels of urinary TGF-?1 and CTGF in rats with diabetic nephropathy(DN).To observe the influence of losartan on expression of the two protein in renal tissue and excretion in urine.Methods Wistar rats were treated by intravenous injection of streptozotocin after right nephrectomy to induce DN rat model.The DN rats were randomly divided into two groups:DN experimental group and losartan treated group.The expression of TGF-?1 and CTGF in renal tissue were determined with immunohistochemical staining,urinary TGF-?1 and CTGF were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) at 6,12 weeks respectively.Results Compared with losartan treated group,urinary protein excretion and the protein expression of TGF-?1 and CTGF significantly increased(P
