Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2021;20(2):160-164
Objective:To explore whether the introduction of web problem based learning (WPBL) teaching method in medical humanities English class under the background of new medical science is helpful to the course learning and the improvement of students' humanistic quality.Methods:Taking 602 students from Batch 2017 clinical medicine in Xi'an Medical University as the experimental group and 610 students from Batch 2018 as the control group, the research lasting a semester was carried out around eight modules. The control group adopted the traditional teaching mode, while the experimental group used the WPBL mode for teaching relying on the Blue Pigeon Cloud Network Language Learning Platform. After teaching, through comparing the final exam results and issuing self-made questionnaires, the teaching effects of the two methods on students' self-study ability, thinking ability, teamwork ability and knowledge application ability were compared. The data were statistically processed by SPSS 20.0.Results:The final average score of the experimental group (62.13±2.11) was higher than that of the control group (60.42±2.03), with significant differences ( P < 0.05). According to the statistical analysis of the questionnaire, there were differences between the two groups in evaluating the teaching effect, and the proportion of the experimental group was over 60%, significantly higher than that of the control group. 93.3% of the students in the experimental group were satisfied with the WPBL teaching method, while only 43.0% of the students in the control group were satisfied with the traditional teaching method, showing a significant difference between them. The evaluation of students in the experimental group were higher than the control group in terms of self-study ability, data access ability, knowledge exploration ability, language expression ability and problem finding and solving ability. 91.1% of students in the experimental group believed that the introduction of WPBL teaching mode in the course would help to improve their medical humanistic quality, which was significantly higher than the proportion of students in the control group. Conclusion:The empirical study shows that the introduction of WPBL teaching method in medical humanities English course can not only enable students to master learning skills, but also strengthen students' humanistic quality, thus promoting the development of medical education.

Objective To investigate the effect of isoflurane administered before ischemia on polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) infiltration and expression of adhesion molecules in the lung injured by ischemia-reperfusion.Methods One-hundred and twenty male SD rats weighing 250-350 g were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 30 each) :Ⅰ sham operation group (S) ;Ⅱ I/R group in which hilum of left lung was clamped for 45 min and then undamped for reperfusion; Ⅲ Iso + I/R in which 1 MAC isoflurane was inhaled for 30 min before ischemia and Ⅳ Iso + S in which 1 MAC isoflurane was inhaled for 30 min without I/R. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital 50 mg?kg-1 then tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated with 100% O2(VT= 10-15 ml?kg-1) . PaCO2 was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg. Right jugular vein and left carotid artery were cannulated for BP monitoring, blood sampling and fluid and drug administration. Anesthesia was maintained with ketamine 10 mg?kg-1?h-1 and vecuronium 0.1 mg?kg-1?h-1. 1 MAC isoflurane (1.38% in rats) was inhaled for 30 min before hilum of left lung was clamped with an atraumatic clamp. Left lung ischemia was maintained for 45 min then the left lung was released for reperfusion. MAP was monitored and blood gases were analyzed during experiment. The animals were killed at the end of 45 minute ischemia and at 30, 60 and 120 min reperfusion and left lung was removed for: (1) determination of W/D lung weight ratio, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and expression of ICAM-1 mRNA; (2) light and electron microscopic examination; (3) broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL). BAL fluid (BALF) was collected and the number of cells, percentage of PMN and total protein concentration in BALF and the expression of CD18 on PMN surface were determined. Results The W/D lung weight ratio, MPO activity and expression of ICAM-1 mRNA in the lung tissue, the percentage of PMN and TP concentration in BALF and the expression of CD18 on PMN surface were all significantly increased during reperfusion in I/R group but isoflurane pretreatment significantly attenuated the I/R induced increases. Histological examination showed that the I/R induced lung injury was also ameliorated by isoflurane pretreatment. Conclusion Inhalation of isoflurane before ischemia could protect the lungs against I/R injury by inhibiting the PMN infiltration and expression of ICAM-1 mRNA and CD-18.

Dysfunctions of vascular endothelial permeability are related to a number of human diseases such as atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, stroke, inflammation, cancer, diabetes-induced retinopathy, macular edema and so on. Shear stress is an important mechanical force that affects vascular endothelial cells. It plays a particular role in permeability regulation. Rho GTPases is a family of small G proteins which act as cell signal molecules. They are assumed to mediate the regulation of the permeability of vascular endothelial cells. In this paper review is given on how shear stress regulates the permeability of vascular endothehal cells as well as the in-fluence of Rho GTPases on the role in molecular mechanism. It is suggested that shear stress-regulated vascular endothelial permeability is mediated by Rho GTPases.

Recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF, 20 ng/ml) and Genistein (740 μmol/ml) were added to the cells from 12 cases of human pituitary tumors and co-cultured in vitro. The 3H-thymidine uptake of tumor cells was measured by scintillation counter and tyrosine kinases activity was detected by using immunocytochemical method. The results showed that 3H-thymidine uptake and tyrosine kinases activity were increased in 10 out of 12 cases of human pituitary tumor by EGF and both declined by Genistein. It was suggested that EGF had a strong mitogenic effect on majority of pituitary tumors. Genistein could abolish the effects of EGF promoting the proliferation of the tumor cells, inhibit the growth of the tumor and might be useful in pituitary tumor treatment.

Objective To investigate the effects of zinc gluconate combined with Danshen injection on the plasma lipid level following exposure to noise in rats. Methods Fifty female SD rats were randomly divided into a control group, a noise exposure group (model group), a zinc gluconate + noise exposure group (zinc gluconate group), a Danshen injection+noise exposure group (Danshen injection group) and a zinc gluconate+Danshen injection+noise exposure group (combination group), 10 rats in each group. The zinc gluconate group received intragastric administration of zinc gluconate 8-10 mg/(kg?d), the Danshen injection group received intraperitoneal injection of Danshen injection 6 mg/(kg?d), the combination group received intragastric administration of zinc gluconate 8-10 mg/(kg?d) and intraperitoneal injection of Danshen injection 6 mg/(kg?d). On the day 10, except in the control group, the rats in the rest of the groups were continuously exposed to high frequency steady noise for 7 days (4 000 Hz, 95 dB, 3 h/d). The serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were detected. Results The serum levels of TC (1.88 ± 0.17 mmol/L vs. 1.55 ±0.09 mmol/L), TG (1.45 ± 0.38 mmol/L vs. 1.01 ± 0.27 mmol/L), LDL-C (0.29 ± 0.04 mmol/L vs. 0.23 ± 0.03 mmol/L) in the model group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01 or P<0.05), while the serum HDL-C level in the model group were significantly lower than that in the control group (0.55 ± 0.08 mmol/L vs. 0.62 ±0.06 mmol/L;P<0.01). The serum TC level in the zinc gluconate group was significantly lower than that in the model group (1.71 ± 0.11 mmol/L vs.1.88 ± 0.17 mmol/L;P<0.05). The serum levels of TC (1.73 ± 0.21 mmol/L vs. 1.88 ± 0.17 mmol/L) and LDL-C (0.25 ± 0.03 mmol/L vs. 0.29 ± 0.04 mmol/L) in the Danshen injection group were significantly lower than those in the model group(all P<0.05). The serum levels of TC (1.57 ± 0.21 mmol/L vs. 1.88 ± 0.17 mmol/L), TG (0.84 ±0.40 mmol/L vs. 1.45 ± 0.38 mmol/L) and LDL-C (0.24 ± 0.05 mmol/L vs. 0.29 ± 0.04 mmol/L) in the combination group were significantly lower than those in the model group (P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the serum HDL-C level (0.61 ± 0.07 mmol/L vs. 0.55 ± 0.08 mmol/L) in the combination group was significantly higher than that in the model group (P<0.05). Conclusions Noise exposure may induce dyslipidemias in rats. Zinc gluconate and Danshen injection can regulate the plasma lipid level following exposure to noise in rats, and combination of zinc gluconate and Danshen injection may be superior to zinc gluconate or Danshen injection alone.
