It is a trend that innovate the traditional bilingual education model and select a new teaching model.Code-switching is a lingual phenomenon when a passages or articles are expressed with two or more language.To guarantee effect of bilingual education and improve education quality,penetration bilingual education was applied during microbiology teaching.Professional English vocabulary,words,passages or articles were introduced to students timely and by measure by the way of language code-switching.The results showed that bilingual teaching mode with language code-switching inspire study emotion and self-confidence of English expression from students.

Objective To study the correlation between the cytochrome P450 3A5 gene polymorphism and essential hypertension (EH) in Chinese population .Methods The real-time PCR genotyping at CYP3A5*3(6986A>G) position was established using Taqman minor groove binding (MGB) probes .Total 170 EH patients and 193 matched controls of Chinese Han population were genotyped at CYP3A5*3(6986A>G) position using this method .Results The GG ,GA ,AA genotyped frequencies were 51 .2% , 42 .4% and 6 .5% for the EH patients and 39 .9% ,50 .8% and 9 .3% for the control group respectively .The risk of EH for person carrying GG genotype was 1 .579 fold of the persons carrying at least one A allele(95% CI:1 .041-2 .395) .Conclusion CYP3A5*3(6986A>G) polymorphism may be associated with EH in Chinese population .The risk of EH is decreased in the persons carrying allele A ,slightly lower levels of systolic blood pressure exists .

Objective To investigate the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1?(HIF-1?) and chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4) protein in tissues of breast cancer and its association with clinicopathological features.MethodsThe expression of HIF-1? and CXCR4 protein in 60 breast cancer,30 breast fibroadenoma and 20 normal breast samples were detected by immunohistochemistry,and the relationship between the expression of HIF-1? and CXCR4 protein in the tissues of breast cancer and its association with clinicopathological factors were analysed.ResultsThere was no positive expression of HIF-1? and CXCR4 protein in normal breast tissues.The positive expression rates of HIF-1? protein in tissues of breast cancer and breast fibroadenoma were 65.0% and 26.7%,respectively(P

Objective To study morphological changes of rabbit artery endothelial cell injury and atherosclerosis caused by high fluoride and the role of selenium. Methods Twenty healthy male New Zealand white rabbits, body weight (2.0 ± 0.5)kg, were randomly divided into control group(drinking deionized water, fed basic diet), fluoride group(drinking fluoride 100 mg/L deionized water, fed basic diet), selenium group(drinking selenium 1 mg/L deionized water, fed basic diet), fluoride plus selenium group(drinking fluoride 100 mg/L deionized water, selenium 1 mg/L of deionized water, fed basic diet). The experimental period was 6 months. At 0, 3, 6 months of the experiment, serum fluorine and selenium levels were determined. At the end of the experiment,thoracic aorta was collected to observe its pathology and ultrastructural changes. Results Serum fluoride was significantly higher at the 3rd and the 6th month of experiment(all P ＜ 0.01 ) in fluoride group[ (0.589 ± 0.146),(0.772 ± 0.175)mg/L] and fluoride plus selenium group[ (0.502 ± 0.094), (0.693 ± 0.158)mg/L] than in control group[ (0.174 ± 0.002), (0.208 ± 0.031 )mg/L] and serum fluoride was significantly higher at 6 months than at 3 months(P ＜ 0.05 ) in fluoride group. Serum selenium was significantly higher at the 3rd and the 6th month of experiment (all P ＜ 0.01 ) in selenium group[ (0.252 ± 0.022), (0.319 ± 0.052)mg/L] and fluoride plus selenium group[ (0.239 ±0.016), (0.294 ± 0.018)mg/L] than in control group[(0.135 ± 0.014), (0.167 ± 0.019)mg/L], and serum selenium was significantly higher at the 6th month than at 3rd month of experiment in selenium group(P ＜ 0.05). Endothelial cell apoptosis indices were (4.92 ± 1.32)%, (30.30 ± 6.80)%, (6.57 ± 2.14)% and (14.29 ± 2.99)%, respectively in control group, fluoride group, selenium group and fluoride plus selenium group. Their main effect of fluorine and selenium was statistically significant (F = 106.833,20.082, all P ＜ 0.01 ). There were antagonistic effect between fluoride and selenium(F = 30.402, P ＜ 0.01 ). Pathological changes of rabbit aortic endothelial cells in fluoride group included endothelial with attached fibrin and red blood cells, and structural of the cells changed, with serious vascular injury; in fluoride plus selenium group apoptosis of endothelial cells decreased, with reduced number of attached red blood cells and fibrin, endothelial cell structure normal, the extent and scope of vascular damage significantly reduced. Conclusions Appropriate amount of selenium inhibits the apoptosis of endothelial cells induced by high fluoride, reduces aortic structural damage caused by high fluoride, and maintains the integrity of endothelial cells, thereby antagonizes the vascular damage and atherosclerosis induced by high fluoride.
