In order to increase the underachievement students’ score,we investigate their way of learning by questionnaire and interview. We find that learning motivation,learning style,learning time and thinking ability are the most important factors. So the underachievement students can be divided into four classes: learning motivation insufficiency, learning method incorrectness, learning time insufficiency and thinking ability insufficiency. And we raise some education strategies for each class.

Objective To investigate the effects of exercise training intervention on the expressions of TNF-α and adiponectin in circulation and tissues of high-fat/high-sucrose diet-induced insulin resistance rats. Methods 29 S-D rats were random divided into 2 groups: Control group (9 rats) and high-fat/high-sucrose diet group (20 rats). After fed for 6 weeks, 18 rats with insulin resistance were random divided into 2 groups: model group ( n = 9) and exercise group ( n = 9). After 6 weeks intervention, serum TNF-α and adiponectin concentration were measured by radioimmunity assay and ELISA respectively, while TNF-α and adiponectin mRNA expressions in liver and skeletal muscle were measured by RT-PCR. Results Fasting plasma glucose(FPG) and fasting serum insulin(FINS) levels increased significantly and insulin sensitivity index(ISI) decreased significantly in rats of model group than those in control group(7.49 ± 1.13 vs 5.06±0.38, 33.57 ±4.87 vs 13.61±2.94, -5.51±0.16 vs -4.21 ±0.22, all P <0.05). Serum TNF-α concentration was significantly higher than those in control group, while serum adiponectin concentration was significantly lower. (3.03 ± 0. 50 vs 2. 39 ± 0. 44, 0. 77 ± 0. 09 vs 0. 86 ± 0. 08, all P < 0. 05 ).Expressions of TNF-α mRNA in liver and skeletal muscle increased significantly and adiponectin mRNA expression significantly decreased in rats of model group compared to those in control group (0. 66 ± 0. 19 vs 0. 05 ± 0. 03, 1.15 ± 0. 20 vs 0. 25 ± 0. 10, 0. 25 ± 0. 10 vs 0. 85 ± 0. 13, all P < 0. 01 ). Fasting plasma glucose(FPG) and fasting serum insulin(FINS) levels decreased significantly and insulin sensitivity index (ISI) increased significantly in rats of exercise group than those in model group(5.77 ± 1.17 vs 7.49 ±1.13, 25.69 ±4.27 vs 33.57 ±4. 87, -5. 10 ±0.31 vs -5.51 ±0. 16, all P <0.05) ;Serum TNF-α concentration was significantly lower and serum adiponectin concentration was significantly higher in rats of exercise group than those in model group ( 2.40 ± 0. 59 vs 3.03 ± 0. 50, 0. 86 ± 0. 10 vs 0. 77 ± 0. 09, all P < 0. 05); Expressions of TNF-α mRNA in liver and skeletal muscle decreased significantly and adiponectin mRNA expression increased significantly in rats of exercise group compared to those in model group (0. 21±0. 10 vs 0.66±0. 19, 0.49 ±0. 17 vs 1.15 ±0.20, 0.97 ±0.20 vs 0. 25 ±0. 10, all P <0.01). Conclusion Exercise training can significantly improve insulin resistance, which may be through modulating the expressions of TNF-α and adiponectin.

MicroRNAs (miRNA) plays an important role in biological development and disease occurrence and development, and acts as a "main switch" in biology. Among patients of essential hypertension, around 1/3 would suffer left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Hence, essential hypertension becomes an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. And miRNAs plays an important role in the occurrence and development of LVH. This paper reviewed the role of miRNA in regulating the stress signaling pathway, defined its impact on the occurrence of LVH, and further emphasized the opportunities and challenges of miRNA as a biomarker and therapeutic target.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies from Shaanxi Institute of Ophthalmology have shown that ostrich cornea has the advantages to be developed into the alternatives of human corneal material.
OBJECTIVE:To determine the potential toxic effects of ostrich corneal stromal scaffold on cel s.
METHODS:Cel culture methods were used to culture L-929 cel s in the extracts of ostrich acel ular corneal
stroma which was dried and dehydrated. 3-(4,5)-Dimethylthiahiazo(-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide assay was used to evaluate the growth and proliferation of cel s after cultured for 1, 2 and 3 days.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After the cel s were cultured in the extracts of ostrich acel ular corneal stroma subjected to dryness and dehydration for 1, 3 and 5 days, and the toxicity level of cultured cel s was graded as level 1. The cytotoxicity test was conducted according to the“National Standard of the People's Republic of China GB/T16886.5-2003”. After cultured in the extracts of ostrich acel ular corneal stroma, a smal number of cel s were round in shape and loosely adherent without intracytoplasmic granules, and cel lysis could be observed
occasional y. The results of 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo(-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide assay showed that
the ostrich acel ular corneal stromal scaffold which was dried and dehydrated had level 1 of cytotoxicity and could be considered as a qualified material.

Objective Using Eclipse and Pinnacle3 V 7.4f treatment planning sytems (TPS) for dose calculation of the CT images of simulation phantom,patients and homogeneous organization phantom,to compare the differences between the two TPS for the calculation of non-uniform organizations.Methods For the CT images of simulation phantom,patients and homogeneous organization phantom,the calculating results between the two TPS were compared,including the common used clinical indexes of V20 and V30 of the lung,D95 of the planning target volume,the doses of the ISO and eight points of interest inside ISO slice.Resuits For simulation phantom and patients,although the calculating differences of the isocenter doses between the two TPS were small,the differences of other indicators were large.For example,when using secondary collimator irradiation,the maximal D95 difference of planning target volume reached 10.17%for patients and 4.64%for simulation phantom.When using muhileaf collimator irradiation,the maximal D95 difference reached 10.74%for patients and 5.66%for simulation phantom.Sometimes the dose differences of points 1-4 at the edge of planning target volume were more than 10%.In addition,the V30 differences of the lung were large too.But for the homogeneous organization phantom,the calculating differences were small.Conclusions The calculating differences between the two TPS are less for simulation phantom than for patients,and more for simulation phantom and patients than for homogeneous organization phantom.

Objective To evaluate the effect of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitor LY294002 combined with dichloroacetate on apoptosis in human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and AKT/GSK-3β/HK-2 signaling pathway.Methods Human pulmonary arterial SMCs were seeded into culture plates at a density of 2 x 104 cells/ml after 3-5 passages.After being incubated for 72 h,the SMCs were cultured in the medium supplemented with 0.2% fetal bovine serum for 24 h to induce starvation prior to experiments.The cells were then randomly divided into 6 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),positive control group (group F),LY294002 group (group L),different concentrations of dichloroacetate groups (D1 and D2 groups),and LY294002 combined with dichloroacetate group (group LD1).In group C,the cells were cultured in the medium supplemented with 0.2% fetal bovine serum.In F,L,D1,D2 and LD1 groups,the cells were cultured in the medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum.LY294002 2 μmol/L was added to the medium in group L.Dichloroacetate l0 and 20 mmol/L were added to the medium in D1 and D2 groups,respectively.In group LD1,LY294002 (2 μmol/L) was added,and 30 min later dichloroacetate 10 mmol/L was added to the medium in LD1 group.The cells were incubated for 48 h.Flow cytometry was used to measure the cell apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential.The expression of phosphorylated AKT (p-Akt),phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase 3β (p-GSK-3β),and hexokinase-2 (HK-2) was detected using Western blot.Apoptosis rate was calculated.Results Compared with group C,apoptosis rate was significantly increased,and mitochondrial membrane potential was decreased in D2 and LD1 groups,the expression of p-Akt,p-GSK-3β and HK-2 was up-regulated in group F,and no significant changes were found in apoptosis rate and mitochondrial membrane potential in F,L and D1 groups.Compared with group D2,apoptosis rate was significantly increased,mitochondrial membrane potential was decreased,and the expression of p-Akt,p-GSK-3β and HK-2 was down-regulated in LD1 group.The expression of p-Akt,p-GSK-3β and HK-2 was significantly lower in D2 and LD1 groups than in group F.Conclusion LY294002 combined with dichloroacetate can promote apoptosis in human pulmonary arterial SMCs possibly through blocking AKT/GSK-3β/HK-2 signaling pathway.
