A new teaching reform project in experiment of Human Parasitology is performed by improving experiment content and adopting a new teaching method.The project elucidates that teaching reform in experiment can enhance students'abilities in the experiment,self-teaching and problem-solving and problem-analyzing,and creative ability.

In order to optimize extraction process conditions of tannins from Geranium orientali-tibeticum by supercritical CO2, the content of tannins was determined by phosphomolybdium tungsten acid-casein reaction, with extraction pressure, extraction temper- ature and extraction time as factors, the content of tannins from extract of G. orientali-tibeticum as index, technology conditions were optimized by orthogonal test. Optimum technology conditions were as follows: extraction pressure was 25 MPa, extraction temperature was 50 °C, extracted 1.5 h. The content of tannins in extract was 12.91 mg x g(-1), extract rate was 3.67%. The method established could be used for assay the contents of tannin in G. orientali-tibeticum. The circulated extraction was an effective extraction process that was stable and feasible, and that provides a way of the extraction process conditions of tannin from G. orientali-tibeticum.

AIM: To compare and analyze the stereopsis of intermittent exotropia children under the different backgrounds of dynamic stimuli and static stimuli.
METHODS: We collected 56 children ( male 26, female 30 with intermittent exotropia at the age from 5y to 12y and examined their stereopsis under the different backgrounds of dynamic stimuli and static stimuli using a multidimensional sense perception training software. The differences between the dynamic stereopsis and static stereopsis were compared.
RESULTS: Totally 17 cases ( 30%) had both dynamicstereopsis and static stereopsis, 39 cases ( 70%) had either dynamic or static stereopsis deficit, only 10 cases ( 26%) had dynamic stereopsis, 25 cases ( 64%) static stereopsis left and 4 cases ( 10%) were without any form of stereopsis. The positive rate of dynamic stereopsis was better than the positive rate of static stereopsis, with statistical significance (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Dynamicstereopsis is better than the static stereopsis to intermittent exotropia children.

Objective To study the mechanisms of Curcumin-induced apoptosis on human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901.Methods SC,C-7901 cells were treated with various concentrations of Curcumin and the growth inhibition rates of it were accessed by MTT method.Apoptosis of gastric cancer cells were in- spected by flow cytometry.The expression of Fas and survivin in gastric cancer cells were evaluated by west- ern blot.Results Curcumin could effectively inhibit the growth of gastric cancer cells in dose-dependent and time-dependent manners,the sub-peak appeared and the apoptotic rate was increased.The expressions of Fas was higher in Western blot,meanwhile,the expressions of survivin was decreased.Conclusion Curcumin could significantly inhibit the growth and induce apoptosis of gastric cancer cells(SGC-7901),Curcumin could probably through up-regulating Fas and down-regulating surviving to induce apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the influential factors of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) activity during pregnancy and their relationship with pregnancy outcome.Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical history of 66 pregnant women with SLE from 1991 to 2005 was carried out.Results(1) Those patients with unstable status progestation,patients being newly diagnosed with SLE during pregnancy or patients irregularly using prednisone became active during pregnancy.The disease was active in 32 cases(the active group)and inactive in 34 cases(the inactive group).(2)Obstetric complications in the active group included:9 cases of preeclampsia,13 cases of fetal growth restriction(FGR),7 cases of therapeutic abortion and 15 cases of premature labor;and the corresponding numbers in the inactive group were 1,5,1 and 4, respectively.All the numbers were significantly different between the two groups(P

Aim To study the synergistic anti-depres-sion effect of 3 , 6-disinapoyl sucrose ( DISS ) and tenuifoliside A ( TFSA ) from Radix Polygalae and the preliminary mechanism . Methods Using the classical behavioral despair and depression model of mouse tail suspension test, 120 mice were divided into control group, positive group, DISS 5 mg·kg-1 group,DISS 10 mg·kg-1 group,TFSA 5 mg·kg-1 group,TFSA 10 mg· kg-1 group, DISS 5 mg · kg-1 +TFSA 5 mg · kg-1 group,DISS 5 mg·kg-1 +TFSA 10 mg·kg-1 group,DISS 10 mg·kg-1 +TFSA 5 mg·kg-1 group and DISS 10 mg · kg-1 +TFSA 10 mg · kg-1 group randomly. They were given intragastric injection for 7 days continuously, to observe the effect of DISS and TFSA monomer and its combination on the time of mouse tail suspension. Expression of BDNF in the hip-pocampus of mice was detected by immunohistochemis-try. The expressions of CREB, pCREB, CRTC1 and BDNF in the hippocampus of mice were detected by Western blot method. Results The administration of DISS and TFSA could shorten the immobility time of mice subjected to the tail. DISS ( 10 mg · kg-1 ) and TFSA( 10 mg · kg-1 ) group were significantly lower than single dose drug group(P<0. 05). DISS and TF-SA and the combination groups could increase the ex-pression of BDNF in hippocampus and cortex by immu-nohistochemistry(P <0. 05). At the same time, the contents of CREB, CRTC1, pCREB and BDNF protein in the hippocampus were increased by DISS and TF-SA, and the combination group was significantly higher than the single drug group ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion The administration of DISS and TFSA are used to acti-vate CREB transcription factor CRTC1 , and activate the phosphorylation of CREB in the hippocampus, and then increase the expression of BDNF in the hippocam-pus and plays a synergistic antidepressant effect.

Objective To discuss correlation of hemodynamic changes and portal vein diameter with multi-slice spiral CT peffusion imaging in liver cirrhosis. Method 31 cases liver cirrhosis were enrolled in this study. The first porta hepatis were selected for target lay of CT perfusion scan. Liver perfusion parameters were obtained by color perfusion map method. Right to left diameter and occipitofrontal diame-ter of portal vein were measured. 30 cases of normal persons were used as control group. Result Hepatic arterial perfusion (HAP) in liver 0.05). Hepatic perfusion index (HPI) were (19.13±3.33)% and (20.61±8.56)%, which had no statistically significant difference with the other two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Multi-spiral CT perfnsion imaging is an effectively noninvasive method to evaluate the hemodynamic changes of liver cirrhosis. Occipitofrontal diameter of portal vein with liver cirrhosis can reflect the state of liver hemodynamics.

To investigate and analyze the epidemiology of serious corneal ulcer.
● METHODS: A total of 133 serious corneal ulcercases from June 2010 to December 2013 in Xiangya Hospital Affiliated to Central South University were retrospectively reviewed for risk factors, demographic characteristics and diagnosis.
●RESULTS: There were 91 male patients (68. 4%) in the 133 patients. A peak incidence age was from 41 to 60 years old (82 cases, 44. 4%). Most of patients were peasant (77 cases, 57. 9%) and the percentage of the low schooling patients was 85. 0% (113 cases). The number of patients who had been sick was 73 before hospitalization (54. 9%) in all cases. The peak incidence season was January (34. 6%). Average length of stay was 9. 84d. The number of emergency cases was 44 (33. 1%). Most of patient were not only corneal ulcer cases but the hypopyon (92 cases, 69. 2%). The figure of inpatients who received operations was 102 cases ( 76. 7%). And the most of operations was amniotic membrane transplantation (31 cases, 39. 2%). Additionally, this data was classified regard to gender differences.
● CONCLUSlON: The peasant of the middle age and elderly represents a distinct clinical group in the serious corneal ulcer in hospital. Severity, ocular trauma in agriculture and health awareness are the major predisposing factors.
