ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of task-driven teaching mode on physical therapy teaching in higher vocational education. Methods40 students in 2006 rehabilitation class were taught with routine mode as the control group, while 35 students in 2007 rehabilitation class taught with task-driven mode and routine mode as experimental group. ResultsAt the end of the course, the results of examination in theory and practice were better in the experimental group than control group (P<0.01). 85.71%~94.28% students in the experimental group said that the task-driven teaching mode could improve their comprehensive quality especially the skill of practice, as well as the interest and ability of learning.

Objective Platelet aggregation, activation induced by bubbles is the main cause of decompression sick-ness.Clopidogrel(Clo) can decrease platelet aggregation through inhibiting the bind of fibrinogen and ADP .This study is designed to find if Clopidogrel can paly a protective role in decompression sickness and explore the intervention mechanism . Methods Totally 111 male SD rats divided into 3 groups:normal control group (n=20), decompression sickness(DCS) group(n=46), and DCS+Clo(Clopidogrel)treated decompression sickness (DCS+Clo)group(n=45).The rats in DCS and DCS+Clo group were placed in chamber and compressed to 1.5 MPa at speed of 2t/4 , the time of compression and res-idence was 4.5 min totally, then decompressed to surface at a speed of 3 m/s.The mortality and behavioral of rats were ob-served within 30 min post decompression .The pathology and the wet/dry ratio of lung , WBC and platelet counts in periph-eral blood, the expression of activated platelets , and immunohistochemical detection of lung tissue CD 41 expression were also been tested .Results We found Clo reduces the DCS mortality risk ( mortality rate:11/45 in DCS+Clo group vs 28/46 in DCS group, P<0.01).Clo reduced the lung injury, the wet/dry ratio of lung, the accumulation of platelet and leu-kocyte in lung , the WBC counts and activated platelets in peripheral blood .Conclusion Clo can play a protective role in decompression sickness through reducing post-decompression platelet consumption and activation , decreasing the activation of leukocytes .

Background and purpose:MicroRNA (miRNA, miR) plays an important regulatory role in cancer. miR-222 is reported to be up-regulated in various tumors, but its role in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains unclear. In this study, we detected the expression of miR-222 in both RCC and adjacent tissue samples. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of miR-222 in RCC. Methods:The expression levels of miR-222 in RCC tissue samples were quantified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). DDIT4 and LC3-Ⅱ protein expressions were determined by Western blot. Dual luciferase assay was performed to verify the target of miR-222. EGFP-LC3 microscopy assay was performed to assess autophagy. Results:Results from qRT-PCR showed that the expression of miR-222 was up-regulated in RCC tissues. Knockdown of miR-222 with speciifc antagomiR decreased the cell viability of 786-O cells, whereas overexpression of miR-222 increased the cell viability (P<0.01). The levels of DDIT4 were up-regulated in 786-O cells transfected with miR-222 antagomiR, whereas overexpression of miR-222 induced the down-regulation of DDIT4 expression. Data from dual luciferase assay indicated that miR-222 directly targeted the expression of DDIT4. Consistently, the expression of DDIT4 in RCC tissues was down-regulated compared with adjacent tissues. Knockdown of miR-222 in 786-O cells induced a signiifcant increase of autophagosome formation and LC3 lipidation.These results supported that miR-222 could inhibit autophagy in RCC cells, which may affect the clinical characteristcs of RCC. Conclusion: miR-222 is up-regulated in RCC and can inhibit the autophagy of RCC cells through down-regulating the expression of DDIT4.

Objective To develop an up-converting phosphor technology based lateral flow assay ( UPT-LF) to detect ricin toxin ( RT) quickly, accurately and quantitatively.Methods Ricin-monoclonal antibodies were prepared and their affinity was evaluated before four types of monoclonal antibodies with the highest titer were applied to couple with the up-converting phosphor nano-particles ( UCP-NPs) as the bio-conjugate and disperse on the analysis membrane as the test line, respectively.Following systematic optimization to establish the RT-UPT-LF strip, the sensitivity, precision, quantita-tive ability and specificity of RT-UPT-LF were evaluated.Results The detection could be accomplished within 15 min and the detection limit of the RT-UPT-LF assay could reach 0.5 ng/ml within the quantitative detection range of 0.5-1000 ng/ml.Other non-specific toxins at a concentration of 1000 ng/ml did not cause any non-specific reactions.Conclusion The developed RT-UPT-LF strip provides a new means for on-site quantitative detection of ricin toxin.

Objective To study the pathological changes of lung tissues during fast floating escape-induced decompres-sion sickness.Methods Eighty male SD rats were randomly divided into 2 groups, 60 in fast floating escape group (escape group) , and 20 in control group .Rats in the control group were only put in a cabin under the same atmospheric pressure (ATM).Rats in escape group were pressurized to 1.5 MPa by pressure air at the 2t/7 exponential rate and stayed for 4 min till decompression.Then the rats′survival rate was observed after 0.5 h, lung tissue specimens were collected from each rat, the pathological score was taken , according to the degree of lung injury and the R language was used for statistical analysis.Results The mortality rate was 50%.Lung tissues of these rats were pathologically characterized by stromal lung thickening, edema, and hyperemia.Kruskal non-parametric test analysis found a significant difference (P=0.0016) between the two groups .Nemenyi test was used in pairwise comparison .The death and survival animals in escape group compared with the control group, the scores were significantly different (P<0.05).The scores had no significant difference between the deach and survival animal in escape group .Conclusion Decompression sickness caused by fast floating es-cape can significantly damage the blood-lung barrier to cause pulmonary edema .

Objective To investigate the value of X-ray,CT and MRI in diagnosing early spinal tuberculosis by constructing lum-bar vertebra tuberculosis model in New Zealand rabbits.Methods Forty healthy New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into the infected group (n=30)and the control group (n= 10).All rabbits were performed lumbar vertebra surgery,and then underwent imaging and histopathologic examination at 4,6,8 weeks respectively.Results The sensitivity of X-ray,CT and MRI in detecting tuberculosis lesions were 46.13%,76.3%,and 92.3%,respectively.MRI and CT were better than X-ray for displaying the de-struction range limited in a single vertebra (P <0.05).Combination with routine MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)could find the vertebra tuberculosis at the early stage.According to the HE staining,pus cells,epithelioid cells or necrosis were seen in the tissue sections of vertebra and paraspinal soft tissues in the infected group.Conclusion X-ray,CT and MRI could provide some information for the early diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis,and MRI is more sensitive.
