To improve the quality of experimental teaching,investigating the independent design experiments are carrying out in preventive medicine by public health experimental teaching center in our school.We take preventive medicine professional as an example,and besides the classical basis experiments,some experiments are verification project at present,in which students are not strongly interested.On the basis of the integration of the classic experiments,according to the national standard of the experimental method,we are trying to carry out part of the independent design experiments to meet the needs of students learning.The effect of those independent design experiments shows that it is appropriate carrying out independent design experiments on the basis of the existing classical experimental project in preventive medicine experimental teaching,to a certain extent,which will stimulate students' learning interest and enhance their sense of achievement.This study is conducive to the cultivation of medical students' innovation,independent thinking,analysis and problem-solving ability,practical ability and teamwork spirit.

Abstract?AIM:To evaluate the efficacy of photocoagulation alone or combined with intravitreal Bevacizumab for radiation retinopathy ( RR) .?METHODS: There were 43 patients ( 43 eyes ) with RR were collected at the Fifth Affiliated Hospital Sun Yet-Sen University between Jan.2009 and Jan.2014.Twenty-one patients received the photocoagulation treatment combined with intravitreal bevacizumab and 22 patients received the treatment of photocoagulation alone.All the patients would complete ophthalmologic examinations, including best -corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , intraocular pressure, optical coherence tomography, fundus fluorescein angiography before and after the treatment.?RESULTS:BCVA:In monotherapy group, there were no statistically difference about BCVA before and after treatment ( P>0.05).In combined therapy group, the BCVA had been increasing gradually in 2wk, 1, 3, 6mo after treatment ( P <0.05 ). There was no significant difference about BCVA before and 1a after treatment ( P>0.05).In the comparison of BCVA in these two groups in 2wk, 1, 3, 6mo after treatment, the combined therapy group were better than monotherapy group in each time point (P<0.05), but no statistically significant difference was observed in these two groups at 1a after treatment (P>0.05).Central macular thickness (CMT):in monotherapy group, the CMT had been decreasing gradually in 2wk, 1, 3, 6mo after treatment ( P <0.05 ). There was no significant difference about CMT before and after 1a treatment ( P>0.05).In combined therapy group, the CMT had been decreasing gradually in 2wk, 1, 3, 6mo after treatment ( P<0.05 ). There was no significant difference about CMT before and 1a after treatment ( P>0.05).In the comparison of CMT between these two groups in the 2wk, 1, 3, 6mo after treatment, those of combined therapy group were thinner and difference were statistically significant ( P <0.05 ), but no statistically significant difference was observed in two groups at 1a after treatment (P>0.05).? CONCLUSION: Photocoagulation combined with intravitreal bevacizumab for the treatment of radiation retinopathy both have an effect on reducing the macular edema in a short time (6mo).But the long-term efficacy is poor.

Objective To investigate the acute effect of dialysate calcium concentration on calcium balance and blood pressure(BP) of maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) patients with normal serum tCa,and to provide scien- tific basis for individualized calcium concentration dialysate formula.Methods For 4 weeks,dialysate with different calcium concentrations as DCa 1.25,DCa 1.5 and DCa 1.75 was used in 15 stable MHD patients.Arterial blood pressure was measured before and after each dialysis session,and every 30 minutes during hemodialysis session.Serum total calcium and ionized calcium were assessed before and after each dialysis session with different calcium concen- trations dialysate.Results With the DCa 1.2.5,BP,serum tCa and iCa decreased as compared with pre-dialysis val- ues(P

ObjectiveTo investigate whether small epithelial cells (SEC) exist in human hepa- tocellularcarcinoma (HCC) and if so, whether they exhibit immunolabelling for both albumin and cytokeratin 7 (CK7). MethodsThirty cases of human HCC from operative specimens were investi- gated by immunohistochemistry with antibody against albumin, a marker of hepatocyte differentiation and CK7, a marker of biliary differentiation. Ten cases were investigated by electron microscopy and by immuno- electron microscopy. ResultsThe SEC were found in 20 of 30 cases that located around the edges of the tumors and appeared as proliferative small biliary ductules. Under electron microscopy they were of small size, contained sparse cytoplasm, few free ribosomes, intracellular tonofilarnents, and intercellular junctions. Immunoelectron microscopically the SEC exhibited labelling for both albumin and CK7 in 5 out of 10 cases. ConclusionSEC in human HCC are found that represent the same mor- phology like those seen in hepatoblastoma and biliary atresia, co- expressed markers for hepatocytic and biliary differentiation.

A fragment sized 400bp of White spot syndrome virus（WS SV，formerly de signated NOSV），recovered from recombinant plasmid pAFD, was labeled with Digox igenin as a probe to detect dynamic distribution of WSSV within 120h and 72h in crawfishes（Cambarus proclarkii） inoculated WSSV by oral taking and injecti on r espectively. Stomach epithelium, intestine epithelium, heart, gill, haemolymph, muscle, hepatopancreas, hypoderm, connective tissue and ovary of infected crawfi shes were examined for WSSV. In both groups, WSSV was first detected in heamoly mph at 12h p.i. and then disappeared. Again it was detected at 96h p.i. only in oral infection group and maintained till 120h p.i., but it didn't appear at 72h p.i. in injection group. WSSV in heart, muscle was detected at 36h p.i. in oral infection group and 24h p.i. in injection group respectively, and then increased generally. In addition, WSSV in intestine epithelium, connective tissue, ovary of oral infection group and intestine epithelium, hypoderm, ovary of injection g roup could also be detected. In dead crawfishes after 120h and 72h p.i. in two groups, WSSV could be detected in all the examined tissues and it demonstrated t hat systemic infection occurred in the animales. The tissue containing more amo unts of WSSV was hypoderm in oral infection group, while intestine epithelium, g ill, hypoderm, ovary in injection infection group. It deduced that WSSV first a ppears in haemolymph and then goes into heart, muscle and other tissues and prol iferates in them. Once again, WSSV is released into heamolymph resulting in syst emic infection till crawfishes' death.

Background Chronic administration with inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (N_?-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester,L-NAME) induces persistent hypertension,cardiovascular remodeling,surrounding vascular fibrosis, necrosis and hypertrophy of myocardium,and inflammation in cardiovascular system.Local RAS involves in hyper- tension and remodeling of cardiovascular system,via increasing production of oxygen free radicals (OFR).Objec- tive To elucidate the preventive and therapeutic effect of antioxidant Ebselen and/or VitE on hypertensive heart damage in NO~- deficient rats induced by L-NAME.Methods Thirty-two Wistar rats were administered with L- NAME 50 mg/(kg?d) by gavage for 8 weeks,and randomized to received a placebo(L),or Ebs(S,30 mg/kg?d), or VitE(V,40 mg/kg?d) or Ebs 30 mg/(kg?d)+VitE 40 mg/(kg?d),with 8 normal Wistar as control. Body mass and SBP were measured fortnightly.Plasma and homogenate of heart were collected for NO,Ang Ⅱ, GSH-PX,MDA and O_2~- determination.Results Eight weeks after L-NAME administration,SBP in experimental groups was obviously higher than that of control (P

AIM To study the chemical constituents from the leaves of Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal.) lljinskaja.METHODS The ethyl acetate fraction of methanol extract from C.paliurus leaves was isolated and purified by silica,ODS and semi-preparative HPLC,then the structures of obtained compounds were identified by spectral data.RESULTS Eleven compounds were isolated and identified as (6S,7R,8R)-7α-[(β-glucopyranosyl) oxy] lyoniresinol (1),lyoniside (2),(-)-lyoniresinol 3 α-O-β-D-xylopyranoside (3),dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 4'-O-β-D-glucoside (4),kaempferol-3-O-α-L-rhamnoside (5),kaempferol-3-O-α-L-(4"-Z-p-cumaroyl)-rhamnoside (6),naringenin (7),4'-hydroxywogonin (8),1-(3',4'-dihydroxyphenyl)-7-(4"-hydroxyphenyl)-4-hepten-3-one (9),grasshopper ketone (10),p-hydroxybenzoic acid (11).CONCLUSION Except for compounds 5,11,all the compounds are isolated from this plant for the first time.

Using the character of natural aggregation of CHO cells, and an ultrasonic and sedimentation column combined perfusion system to promote cells aggregation and retention into bioreactor,recombinant CHO cell strain MK3-A2 was cultured,which could secrete rhTNK-tPA, by a serum-free perfusion culture system. The culture periods in this two experiments were as long as 77 and 110 days respectively. The cells density reached 2?107 cells /ml. The average volumetric productivity of rhTNK-tPA was 89 mg/L?d, and the highest one was 216mg/L?d.The cells aggregation rate was approximately 90%, and the diameters of most of them were 285～570?m. During the perfusion culture the cells retention rate almost kept in 95% and the viability of cells was more than 85%.Thus, it means that aggregation culture with such perfusion system could be used to scale up produce biopharmaceuticals instead of microcarrier culture system.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of combination therapy of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) with methotrexate (MTX) on collagen induced arthritis (CIA) rats.

METHODSTotally 55 male SD rats were stratified by body weight. Nine of them were randomly recruited as the normal control group. The rest 46 were immunized with type II bovine collagen (C II) for establishing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) model. Forty successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into 4 groups according to swollen toe degree, i.e., the CIA group, the TMP group, the MTX group, and the TMP plus MTX group, 10 in each group. Rats in the MTX group were administered with MTX (1. 2 mg/kg) , once per week for 4 continuous weeks. Those in the TMP group were administered with 40 mg/kg TMP, once per day for 10 continuous days, and then discontinued for 7 successive days, and continued for another 10 successive days. Rats in the TMP plus MTX group were administered with a mixture of equal dose MTX and TMP, and when MTX was discontinue, TMP was administered according to the way in the TMP group. Equal volume of saline solution was given to rats in the normal control group and the CIA group. Clinical parameters including ankle width (mediolateral diameter) and hindpaw swelling were measured at day 0, 4, 11, 18, and 26 after treatment. Rats were sacrificed 28 days after treatment, their knee joints and ankle joints were collected for pathological analyses. Serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17A were detected by ELISA. Changes of fibrinogen (FIB) and platelet aggregation rate (PAg) were detected.

RESULTSCompared with the normal control group, the ankle width and hindpaw swelling increased significantly (P < 0.01), contents of FIB and PAg increased obviously (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17 increased remarkably (P <0. 01) in the CIA group. Obvious cell proliferation, inflammatory cell infiltration, hyperemia and edema of synovial tissues could be seen. Pannus formed and immerged in cartilages, resulting in necrosis. Compared with the model group, changes of ankle width and hindpaw swelling were all alleviated in each medicated group (P <0. 05, P <0. 01). Of them, the effect was superior in the MTX group to that of the TMP group and the MTX plus TMP group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Contents of FIB, serum levels of IL-1β and IL-6 decreased significantly in the MTX group (P < 0.05). Contents of FIB, serum levels of IL-1β and IL-6 decreased significantly in the TMP group and the MTX plus TMP group (P < 0.05). Besides, serum levels of FIB and IL-6 were obviously lower in the MTX plus TMP group than in the TMP group and the MTX group (P < 0.01). Levels of PAg and IL-17A were more significantly lowered in the TMP group than in the MTX plus TMP group and the MTX group. Pathological changes could be alleviated in each medicated group, with the optimal effect obtained in the MTX plus TMP group.

CONCLUSIONCombination of TMP with MTX could significantly ameliorate inflammatory reactions and FIB contents of CIA rats.

OBJECTIVETo observe different degrees of intra-abdominal pressure and different duration on the intestinal permeability and endotoxin/bacteria translocation in rabbit model, so as to explore the mechanism of the development of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and MODS.

METHODSRabbit model of intra-abdominal hypertension was established by injection of gaseous nitrogen into the peritoneal cavity. Thirty-nine New Zealand white rabbits were employed in the study. The change in intestinal permeability was determined by fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran (FITC-D) and two kinds of molecular probes of type II horseradish peroxidase (HRP-II). The effects of intra-abdominal hypertension on the endotoxin/bacteria translocation were also detected.

RESULTSThe contents of FITC-D and HRP-II in portal veins increased evidently (P < 0.01) when intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) was higher than 20 mmHg. The endotoxin (ET) content in portal vein in rabbits with IAP of 10 mmHg for 1, 2 and 4 hours exhibited no difference compared with that in normal control, while the ET content increased obviously after 1 hour with IAP of 20 mmHg and increased thereafter along with the prolongation of IAP, and increase in pressure. The bacterial translocation rates were 33.3%, 66.7% and 100% when IAP was maintained at 20 mmHg for 1, 2 and 4 hours, respectively, and there was evidence of bacterial translocation to the liver. The rate of bacterial translocation to intestinal mesenteric lymph nodes was 100% when IAP was 30 mmHg for 1 and 2 hours. There was no bacterial translocation to the spleen in all experimental rabbits.

CONCLUSIONIntestinal mucosal permeability increased significantly with increased endotoxin content in portal vein when IAP was higher than 20 mmHg. At the sane time, the bacteria could be translocate to intestinal mesenteric lymph nodes and liver, which might be constitute one of the important factors leading to the development of ACS and MODS.
