Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2010;26(11):5-8
Objective In order to explore the application and effects of PBL in integrated nursing course for senior vocational nursing students. Methods Nursing students were randomly divided into the experimental group( 122 students) and the control group( 189 students). PBL was applied to the experimental group while traditional method was applied to the control group during the course. All the students fulfilled the Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory-Chinese Version (CTDI-CV) before and after the course. Theory and practical examinations were administrated after the course. Results The experimental group was better in theory and practical examinations than the control group. There were significant differences in total score and some subscale scores of CTDI-CV between the two groups after the course, and also between the beginning and the end of PBL for the experimental group. Conclusions The application of PBL in integrated nursing course can effectively promote the mastery of knowledge and skills, and can improve the critical thinking ability.
2.Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins(IAP):Novel anticancer targets
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(02):-
An endogenous suppressor of apoptosis, the inhibitor of apoptosis proteins(IAP) plays a key role in the occurrence and progression of cancer. In recent years cancer researches have been focused on gene-specific inhibitors with IAP as the target, so as to seek gene therapeutic strategies of less toxicity and higher efficiency. As members of IAP family, survivin and livin are over-expressed in tumors. Meanwhile, Smac can directly inhibit IAP. These findings suggest a promising alternative strategy for developing novel anticancer therapies.-

As the main drug in colorectal cancer chemotherapy,oxaliplatin is gradually infiltrated into other malignancies therapy.But oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy limits its clinical application.The mechanisms of oxaliplatin neurotoxicity are not yet clear.Recent researches show that the acute neurotoxicity of oxaliplatin is mediated through changes in Na + transient conductances.And the function of the mitogen-activated protein kinases in chronic neuropathy has already been demonstrated in vitro.Furthermore,numerous indicators can be used to predict oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy,which bring the hope for improving the continuity of chemotherapy and realizing personalized medicine therapy.

Objective: To evaluate the cytotoxicity and targeting ability of self-developed paclitaxel-octreotide (PTX-OCT) conjugates on A549 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and Calu-6 NSCLC cells. Methods: Conjugates PTX-OCT and 2PTX-OCT were synthesized by our school. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect mRNA of human somatostatin receptor subtypes (SSTRs) using specific primers. The cells were treated with different concentrations (1, 100 nmol/L and 1 ?mol/L) of paclitaxel and the conjugates for different time periods (24-72 h); we also set up a control group. MTT assay was used to evaluate the cell viability after treatment; cell cycle perturbations were determined by FAC Scan flow cytometer 24 h after treatment with 1 ?mol/L paclitaxel, PTX-OCT, and 2PTX-OCT. Results: Both A549 cell and Calu-6 cell expressed the mRNA of SSTR2 and SSTR5; no SSTR mRNA was detected in the fibroblasts. The conjugates had a similar cytotoxicity to paclitaxel; they both effectively inhibited the growth of A549 cells and Calu-6 cells in a concentration-and time-dependent manner. After 72 h treatment with 1 ?mol/L paclitaxel, PTX-OCT and 2PTX-OCT, the survival rates of A549 cells were (26.9?7.3)%, (26.6?9.2)% and (35.7?4.3)%, respectively; the survival rates of Calu-6 cells were (29.5?5.0)%, (28.2?9.7)% and (26.5?4.9)%, respectively. The survival rate A549 cells at 72 h after treatment was lower than that at 24 h after treatment(P
