By analyzing data from a questionnaire survey on bilingual teaching, we evalueted the results of bilingual teaching for seven-year medical students and the main problems of bilingual teaching and solutions accordingly. An uneven English level on the part of teachers and students and imperfect materials etc. affect the overall results of bilingual teaching. Therefore persistent efforts need to be made in enhancing the teachers' English level, improving teaching methods and compiling proper textbooks so as to genuinely improve the bilingual teaching program.

Object To study the phsiochemical properties of storax ? cyclodextrin (? CD) inclusion complex Methods The inclusion complex was identified by the methods of TLC, X ray powder diffractometry and IR The solubility and dissolution rate of cinnamic acid in inclusion complex were investigated by HPLC Results The TLC showed that the main composition of storax had no change before and after being included by ? CD The spectra of X ray powder diffractometry and IR of the inclusion complex were remarkably different from those of storax and storax ? CD mixture It was shown a great improvement of the solubility and dissolution rate of cinnamic acid in the inclusion complex in 0 1 mol/L HCl, pH 6 6 and pH 7 5 phosphate buffer solution Conclusion The storax ? CD inclusion complex exhibits some new physical characteristics and its physiochemical properties are greatly changed comparing with those of storax

Aim To explore the effect of pharmacolog-ical activation of serotonin 5-HT2C receptor (5-HT2C R) on naloxone-precipitated withdrawal in morphine-de-pendent mice. Method EthoVision Noldus video tracking system was used to record the effect of 5-HT2C R agonist WAY on locomotor activities and behavioral performances in mice.Results Selective 5-HT2C R ag-onist WAY (0.5,0.75 or 1 .0 mg·kg -1 ,i.p.)a-lone did not alter the locomotor activities as determined by distance traveled and velocity (all P values >0.05).Chronic morphine treatment induced depend-ence in mice as demonstrated by increases in distance traveled,velocity and jumping behavior.WAY (0.5, 0.75 or 1 .0 mg·kg -1 ,i.p.)and clonidine (0.2 mg ·kg -1 ,i.p.)significantly ameliorated naloxone-pre-cipitated withdrawal symptoms,including burrowing, jumping,body grooming,rearing,“wet dog”shakes, head shakes,face grooming,penile grooming,scratch (all P values <0.05).Conclusion Pharmacological activation of 5-HT2C R ameliorates naloxone-precipitated withdrawal symptoms in morphine-dependent mice.5-HT2C R may be a novel target to develop therapeutic ap-proach against morphine physical dependence,craving and relapsing.

Objective To investigate the effects of propofol on brain injury induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Forty-eight adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly allocated to one of 3 groups (n =16 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group Sham),I/R group,and propofol group (group P).Intestinal I/R was produced by occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery for 90 min followed by reperfusion.In group P,propofol 50 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 30 min before reperfusion,and the equal volume of fat emulsion was given in the other two groups.Blood samples were collected at 24 h of reperfusion for determination of serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) concentrations.The cerebral cortex and hippocampus were isolated for measurement of TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA expression (by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity (using colorimetric method).Morris water maze test was carried out at 1,3 and 5 days of reperfusion.Results Compared with group Sham,the serum TNF-α and IL-1β concentrations were significantly increased,the expression of TNF-o and IL-1β mRNA in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus was up-regulated,the MPO activity was increased,and the escape latency was prolonged,and the frequency of crossing the original platform was decreased during reperfusion in group I/R (P<0.05).In group I/R,the concentrations of serum TNF-αand IL-1β were significantly decreased,thc cxpression of TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus was down-regulated,and the escape latency was shortened,and the frequency of crossing the original platform was increased during reperfusion (P<0.05),and no significant change was found in MPO activity in group P (P>0.05).Conclusion Propofol reduces brain injury induced by intestinal I/R through inhibiting systemic and local inflammatory responses in rats.
