Medical psychology master's degree graduate student course mainly includes basic cour-ses, professional courses and psychological skills training, professional practice skills learning and scientific research quality training. Due to the constraints of discipline development starting late, teachers being rela-tively weak and other objective factors, in curriculum setting, there exist problems of unclear objectives, confusing the primary with secondary, unclear standard, lacking principles, and in particular, there are obvious deficiencies in the training and cultivation of students' ! professional skills . Based on the above objective problems, we made preliminary discussion on the training objectives, the main problems, curricu-lum setting, assessment standards and principles to follow, in order to achieve the purpose of cultivating high-level application-oriented talents through curriculum design and teaching practice.

OBJECTIVESHeparin-binding neurite-promoting factor (HBNF) is a heparin-binding protein primarily found in the brain, which can stimulate neurite outgrowth in vitro. We expressed recombinant human heparin-binding neurite-promoting factor (hrHBNF) using a yeast system, and observed its activity in stimulating neurite outgrowth in vitro.
METHODScDNA encoding mature human HBNF was amplified from total RNA isolated from an 18-week aborted human fetal brain by RT-PCR method. After amplification, the HBNF cDNA gene was cloned into pPIC9K, a shuttle expression vector for yeast system. The positive clone of expression vector bearing HBNF cDNA gene was obtained by screening. Verified recombinant vector was then used to transform Pichia strain GS115 by electroporation. His(+) transformants were selected on minimal dextrose medium (MD) plates which were histidine free. His(+) yeast recombinants with multi-copy inserts were screened in vivo by their resistance to G418. PCR analysis was used to confirm the integration of the HBNF cDNA gene into the Pichia genome. Secreted expression of hrHBNF protein in culture medium was obtained when the positive clone containing the HBNF cDNA gene was induced by methanol. The hrHBNF product purified by gel chromatography was added to cultured rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells to observe its ability to stimulate neurite outgrowth.
RESULTSIn the recombinant expression vector, the insert was sequenced to show exactly the sequence encoding human HBNF according to Genbank data. The HBNF cDNA gene was cloned downstream to the alpha-factor, and its open reading frame was in frame with the alpha-factor signal sequence in pPIC9K. SDS-PAGE showed that the molecular weight of the induced expression product was about 18 kDa, consistent with that of human HBNF reported in the literature. The protein product did promote neurite outgrowth in cultured rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells.
CONCLUSIONRecombinant human heparin-binding neurite-promoting factor can be expressed with a yeast system, and its product possesses the biological activity to promote neurite outgrowth.
