1.Application of combination of traditional teaching and PBL in tedical tenetics teaching reform
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2003;0(03):-
Traditional teaching plays a major role in pre-clinical genetics teaching,but the PBL teaching mode greatly mobilizes the enthusiasm of students in clinical genetics teaching. However reasonably and scientific combination between traditional teaching and PBL teaching contributes to more positive effect in medical genetics teaching.

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the standard treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).However,high incidence of metastasis following TACE has much negative influence on patient survival.In this article,we reviewed negative influence of TACE on biological behavior of residual HCC cells to provide evidence for further application of TACE.

to observe the infarction volume.Nitrate reductase assay was used to detect the level of NO in brain tissue of the rats.The level of S100βin brain was detected by ELISA method.Results Compared with model group,the brain infarction volumes of the rats 24 and 72 h after cerebral ischemia reperfusion in curcumin group were significantly decreased (P<0.05).Compared with sham operation group,the NO and S100βlevels in the brain tissue 24 and 72 h after cerebral ischemia reperfusion of the rats in model group were significantly increased(P<0.05);compared with model group,the levels of NO in the brain tissue 24 and 72 h after cerebral ischemia reperfusion in curcumin group were remarkably decreased (P<0.05);compared with modee group,the level of S100βin the brain tissue 72 h after cerebral iscemia reperfusion in curcumin group was remarkably decreased (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Curcumin can significantly reduce the degree of ischemia reperfusion injury in the rats and reduce the levels of NO and S100βin brain tissue,which suggests that the decrease of NO and S100βlevels in brain tissue may be associated with the neuroprotective effect of curcumin.

Purpose:
Bone destruction and pain caused by cancer is one of the most devastating complications of cancer patients with bone metastases, and it seriously affects the quality of patients’ life. Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) is a cell adhesion molecule with increased expression in a variety of tumors. This study focused to clarify the specific function of EMMPRIN in bone metastasis of breast cancer.
Materials and Methods:
Adenovirus with shRNA-EMMPRIN was transfected into MRMT-1 rat breast carcinoma cells, and the MRMT-1 cells with different expression levels of EMMPRIN were implanted into the bone marrow cavity of rat tibia. Next, the effect of down-regulation of EMMPRIN was evaluated as follows: bone damage was detected by X-ray radiological and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining; the tumor burden was evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining; the test of pain-related behaviors was assessed used the bilateral paw withdrawal mechanical threshold; and the levels of secretory factors in tumor conditioned medium were determined by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results:
We found that down-regulation of EMMPRIN in tumor cells can simultaneously reduce tumor burden, relieve cancer-induced bone destruction and pain.
Conclusion:
Materials and Methods
EMMPRIN is expected to be a therapeutic target for relieving bone metastasis of breast cancer and alleviating cancerinduced bone destruction and pain. The method of targeting EMMPRIN may be a promising strategy for the treatment of cancer in the future.
