1.Practice and exploration on teaching reform of laboratory animal science in medical universities
Chinese Journal of Comparative Medicine 2017;27(3):93-95
Laboratory animal science, as a supporting discipline in life science research, has been set up courses in many universities, especially in medical schools.However, due to the curriculum design was too rigidly attached to tradition, emphasis on theory and cannot adapt to the development of natural science.In this paper, aiming to enhance the teaching effect, we focus on the practice, advance with the times, combine with customized teaching reform of laboratory animal science curriculum, teaching content and teaching forms.
2.miR-21 influences growth of glioma cells by targeting FasL gene
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2015;(8):1495-1499
AIM:ToinvestigatetheregulationofmiR-21onFasLexpressionanditseffectonthegrowthand apoptosis in glioma cells , and to evaluate the molecular mechanism .METHODS:Differential expression levels of miR-21 in human glioma U251 cells were achieved by transfecting with miR-21 mimics, miR-21 inhibitor or scramble .The viability and apoptosis of U251 cells were detected by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. The recombination vector pmirGLO-FasL was constructed .Dual-luciferase reporter experiment was performed to validate the target genes of miR-21.The expression vector pcDNA3.1-FasL was also constructed , and the biological activity and regula-tory role of miR-21 in U251 cell apoptosis were analyzed by a restore experiment .RESULTS:Exogenous overexpression of miR-21 increased the viability and decreased the apoptosis of U 251 cells ( P<0.05 ) , while miR-21 inhibitors generated the opposite results (P<0.05).Dual-luciferase reporter assay and restore experiment revealed that miR-21 negatively reg-ulated the expression of FasL gene which was regarded as the target gene , thus decreasing the apoptosis of U 251 cells. CONCLUSION:miR-21 increases the viability of glioma U251 cells, in which FasL may be one of the target genes .
3.Alternative splicing of tumor associated genes messenger RNA and application
Journal of International Oncology 2014;(9):648-651
As a way of gene modification,alternative splicing is an important factor of eukaryotic gene expression and regulation.It makes various transcripts from one protein-coding gene,and greatly extends the genetic information.Alternative splicing of pre-messenger RNA plays an important role in tumor cells.By alter-native splicing,some important genes can generate splicing variants different from those in normal cells.The existence of tumor-specific splicing variants leads to the occurrence and progression of tumor.Therefore,explo-ration on the alternative splicing of tumor-associated genes may be of great significance in tumor diagnosis and treatment.

General practitioners from community health service institutions in Shijingshan,Mentougou,Haidian,Chaoyang,Fengtai and Dongcheng Districts of Beijing were selected to take the examination of chronic wounds management.Questionnaire survey was also performed on the status of community chronic wounds management,medical service motivation,influencing factors and their demand for training.Among 204 general practitioners,55 (27.0%) had mastered basic knowledge,98 (48.0%) passed the examination and 51 (25.0%) failed.The results showed that 179 (87.7%) had changing dressing service,36.8% offered out-patient consulting service,17.6% performed surgical debridement,only 10 (4.9%) provided home chronic wounds care service and 2 (0.9%) of them carried out long-term follow-up.According to the motivation survey,all the practitioners expressed the willingness to help the patients and win their trust.Most of the practitioners claimed no supporting from their institutions(91.7%) and chronic wounds management was excluded from daily routine.Furthermore,heavy work load(82.8%) and lack of professional knowledge(80.9%)were also considered to be main obstructive factors.The survey showed that the majority of physicians required classroom teaching (90.1%),case analysis (86.8%),operating video (92.6%) and other teaching forms.More low level doctors(97.1%)had the desire to pursue further specialist training than higher level physicians (56.7%).The results of our investigation indicate that general practitioners in community heath service institutions have strong learning motivation for chronic wounds management and systematic training of knowledge and practical skills in this field should be provided.

Objective To explore the efficacy of transurethral nephroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy combined with ultrasound lithotripsy for bladder calculus.MethodsBy using transurethral F20.8 nephroscope and EMS LithoCaster,we performed transurethral nephroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy and ultrasound lithotripsy on 69 patients with bladder calculus(63 men and 6 women)between October 2005 and May 2008.The diameter of the calculi was ranged from 1.5 to 6.0 cm.Among the patients,42 had one stone in the bladder,while 27 had multiple calculi.Fifty-five patients were complicated with BPH,14 had neurogenic bladder,and 4 showed bladder diverticulum with stones in situ.Pneumatic frequency was set at 8-12 Hz,and ultrasonic energy was 50%-60%.For the patients with BPH electrovaporization ablation was plused.ResultsAmong the 69 patients,68 were cured in one session.The mean operation time was 25 minutes(15 to 40 minutes).One patient was converted to open surgery because of rupture of the bladder during the procedure.No patient had urethral stricture,infection,or massive hemorrhage during the operation.Follow-up was available in 68 patients for 6 to 10 months(mean,9 months).During the period,no recurrent calculi was found by ultrasonography and X-ray.ConclusionTransurethral nephroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy combined with ultrasound lithotripsy is effective for bladder calculus.
