Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2014;(1):5-8
Functional experiment plays an important role in basic theory and clinical practice. For training high-quality medical talents in medical colleges,many improvements have been made in the functional experiment teaching and certain effects have been obtained. But a comprehensive evalu-ation system was still needed. Clinical medical students of 2010 grade were taken as the appraisal objects. Assessment content,methods and standards were designed according to the basic requirements of functional experiment. Students were evaluated by ordinary performance,test papers and experiment competition. Practice showed that the system was of significant importance in improving the experi-mental teaching quality and developing students' practical ability and comprehensive quality.

Objective To use HSV 1 tk (herpes simplex virus type Ⅰthymidine kinase)/GCV (ganciclovir) in androgen independent prostate cancer cells(C4 2,PC3) in vitro in order to provide useful basis for clinical use. Methods HSV 1 tk gene was ligated to a pN 2A retroviral vector. Recombinant DNA molecules being introduced into a packaging cell line PA317,the high titer virus producer cells (VPC) were screened.The integration and expression of HSV 1 tk gene in VPC was observed by PCR and RT PCR. VPC was co cultured with these cancer cells in the light of 1∶1,1∶2,1∶4,1∶8.Cell viability (cytotoxicity) was assessed by SRB (sulforhodamine B protein dye binding)after the first day,the third day,the fifth and the seventh day. Results The highest titer VPC producing HSV 1 tk gene was isolated. Retrovirus mediated HSV 1 tk gene therapy was effective and active against such prostate cancer cells.The best one was co culture of VPC and cancer cells at 1∶1 and the fifth day followed by GCV. Compared with C4 2, PC3 decreased remarkably.The activation of apoptosis and other ways failed to be found. Conclusions Retrovirus mediated HSV 1 tk gene therapy in Vitro directly killed the tumor cells by cytolytic activity.

Aim To study the effect and molecular mechanism of pretreatment with COPP on hypoxia/reoxygenation injury of H9c2 myocytes.Methods H9c2 myocytes model of hypoxia/reoxygenation injury was established and H9c2 myocytes were given COPP pretreatment before hypoxia/reoxygenation.Treatment with Znpp and all-trans retinoic acid(ATRA)inhibited HO-1 and Nrf2-ARE respectively.The level of LDH and CK in cell supernatants were measured.HO-1mRNA expression was analyzed by RT-PCR.HO-1 and Nrf2 protein expressions were analyzed by Western blot.Results Compared with hypoxia/reoxygenation group,the level of LDH and CK in COPP pretreatment groups decreased significantly and the level of HO-1mRNA,HO-1 protein expression and Nrf2 protein expression in the nucleus significantly increased.Znpp abolished protective effect of COPP pretreatment.ATRA blocked the nuclear accumulation of Nrf2 and decreased HO-1 protein expression that COPP pretreatment induced.Conclusions COPP can induce HO-1 overexpression which has protective effect on hypoxia/reoxygenation injury of H9c2 myocytes.Its mechanism is related to Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway.

Background The parameter of corneal diameter in myopic eyes is widely used in clinic,but there are different points of view about the correlation of corneal horizontal diameter with other parameters of the myopic eye.Objective This study was to investigate the relevance of the other parameters to the corneal horizontal diameter(CHD)of myopia.Methods A total of 310 cases(310 eyes)of myopic patients aged 6-50 years old who visited Affiliated First Hospital of Zhengzhou University were collected for the study.Measuring items included gender,age,myopia diopter and corneal topography.The relationships between the CHD of the right eyes and seven factors including age,gender,degree of myopia,corneal curvature (CC),corneal astigmatism (CS),corneal central thickness(CCT),and anterior chamber depth (ACD)were analyzed by empower stats software.Results The distribution range of CHD was from 10.8 mm to 13.5 mm,with the average value (11.7±3.8)mm.There were significant differences in the CC and ACD between male and female patients by t test(t =-1.574,P<0.001 ;t=-1.145,P =0.034).Through the smoothing curve fitting,the threshold effect and single factor and multiple regression analysis,the CHD was negative linear relationship with CC (β =-0.085,P =0.011).The ACD positive linear relationship with CHD was found (β=0.722,P<0.001).And the CHD was not correlated with the degree of myopia,CS,CCT and gender(β =0.000,0.084,-0.001,0.105;all at P>0.05).There was different inflection point in the curve relationship between male patients and female patients.Conclusions The CHD is linear negatively correlated with CC and line positively associated with ACD in 6-50 years old myopic patients.There is no relationship between CHD and gender,spherical equivalent degree,CS,CCT.There is curvilinear relationship with inflection point between CHD and age.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effect of microwave radiation at different intensities on the rat myocardium and its possible mechanism.METHODS:The rats were radiated by the intensity of 500, 1 000, 1 500 and 2 000 W/m2 with 2 450 MHz microwave for 6 min.The heart tissue was collected 6 h after microwave radiation.ATP and mitochondria complexⅣandⅤwere measured.The changes of the tissue structures were observed under transmission electron micro-scope.The apoptosis of the myocardial cells was detected by a cell analyzer.The protein level of cleaved caspase-3 was de-termined by Western blotting.RESULTS:The concentration of ATP and activity of mitochondria complexⅣandⅤsigni-ficantly decreased compared with control group in the cardiac tissues.The decreased number, morphological abnormalities such as dissolved cavitation, matrix and obvious tumefaction of mitochondria were observed under transmission electron mi-croscope.The microwave radiation induced the apoptosis of myocardial cells in the rats.The cell apoptotic rate and the pro-tein level of cleaved caspase-3 increased with increasing intensity of microwave radiation ( P<0.05 ) .CONCLUSION:Microwave radiation has obvious injury effect on the rat heart, which can cause cardiac energy metabolism dysregulation and cardiac myocyte apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the expression and prognostic significance of CD151, c-Met and integrin alpha 3, alpha6 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Methods The expression of CD151, c-Met and integrin alpha3, alpha6 in 71 patients with PDAC and 10 samples of normal pancreas tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry, and the relationship between the expression of CD151, c-Met and integrin alpha 3, alpha 6 and the clinicopathological features, prognosis of these patients was analyzed. Results The positive expression rates of CD151, c-Met and integrin alpha 3, alpha 6 in PDAC were 81.69% (58/71) , 69.01% (49/71), 69.01% (49/71) and 84.51% (60/71) , and there was no expression in normal pancreas tissues. The expressions of CD151, c-Met were significantly associated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). The expression of CD151 was positively correlated with the expressions of c-Met and integrin alpha3, alpha6 (r =0.583, P =0.000, r = 0.457;P =0.000, r = 0.671 ;P =0.000). Univariate analysis suggested the expression of CD151, c-Met and integrin alpha3, alpha6 was associated with survival (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis suggested the expression of CD151, c-Met was the independent prognostic factor for post-operative survival. Conclusions CD151, c-Met and integrin alpha3, alpha6 play a role in the development, metastasis and prognosis of PDAC, and they might be new markers to predict biological behavior and the prognosis of PDAC patients.
