Current reform of higher medical education focuses on curriculum integration and corresponding reconstruction of teaching system. Chongqing Medical University has carried out the reform of medical personnel training mode from basic to clinical, which has achieved certain results. Three aspects including teaching content, teaching methods and appraisal system of the urogenital system curriculum integration are introduced in the paper. In the teaching content, the parts related to urogenital system in basic subjects and clinical subjects are extracted and integrated. In the process of teaching implementation, a teaching team is set up across departments and multidisciplinary joint teaching is carried out. In order to arouse the enthusiasm of students, inspire and cultivate students' scientific research thinking by improving teaching methods, several teaching methods such as case introduction teaching method, question discussion and debate meeting are used. Scientific evaluation system is used to observe and record the whole process of students' learning. Meanwhile, some existing problems and solutions of curriculum integration are discussed in the paper to provide references for peers in relevant colleges and universities.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of zileuton,a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor,on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Methods The right middle cerebral artery of the rat was occluded by inserting a thread through internal carotid artery for 2 h,and then reperfused for 24 h.Zileuton(10,50 mg?kg~(-1)) was orally administered 2 h before ischemia and 0,5,10 h after reperfusion.After 24 h reperfusion,the content of malondialdehyde(MDA) and nitric oxide(NO),the activities of glutathion peroxidase(GSH-PX),myeloperoxidase(MPO) and nitricoxide synthase(NOS) were measured.Results Compared with vehicle group,the infarct size,content of NO and NOS of the brain were significantly reduced in 10 and 50 mg?kg~(-1) zileuton groups;zileuton 50 mg?kg~(-1) also reduced the content of MDA,increased the activity of GSH-PX,and inhibited the increase of MPO in brain tissue.Conclusion Zileuton possesses the neuroprotective effects on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Objective To study the construction of the lentiviral-mediated RNA interference(RNAi) vector targering rat suppressors of cytokine signaling 3(SOCS3) gene.Methods Three target sequences were selected by on-line designer software on Ambion according to rat SOCS3 mRNA sequence(NM053565),the complementary DNA contained both sense and antisense oligonucleotides were designed and synthesized.After annealing,these double strands DNA were cloned to pRNA-Lenti-green fluorescent protein(GFP),which contained U6 promoter and GFP.The resulting Lentiviral vector containing SOCS3 shRNA was named pRNA-Lenti-SOCS3-GFP.After the rat glioma cells(C6)were transduced with the constructed 1entiviral vectors,real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate the level of SOCS3 expression(including siRNA1 group,siRNA2 group,siRNA3 group,vacuity group and siRNA-Negative group).The pRNA-Lenti-SOCS3-GFP and Lentivector Pakaging plasmid mix were cotransfected into 293T to package Lentivirus particles.Culture supematant was harvested,then the virus titer was determined by serial dilution assay.Results The SOCS3 mRNA sequence was successfully cloned to pRNA-Lenti-GFP,which was proved by PCR and DNA sequence.Compared with control group,the SOCS3 mRNA expressions were obviously suppressed in all 3 experimental groups,especially the expression rate in siRNA1 group was reduced by 80%.The Lentiviral particle titer was determined by serial dilution assay with 1.0?1010 TU?L-1.Conclusion The lentiviral-mediated RNAi vector of rat SOCS3 gene has been constructed successfully,this may provide a potential tool for studying and treating SOCS3-related diseases.

Objective:To investigate the monitoring value of echocardiography for atrial septostomy during the treatment of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO).Methods:Sixteen patients underwent atrial septostomy during the treatment of ECMO in Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital from Jan.2017 to Dec.2019 were included. The diameter of the ostomy, the direction of interatrial shunt, the tricuspid regurgitation degree and the pulmonary artery pressure were measured by echocardiography daily after atrial septostomy.Results:There were no significant differences in the diameter of the ostomy in 16 patients(the range of coefficient of variation 0.86%-4.77%). The direction of interatrial shunt changed gradually from right - left atrial shunt to left - right atrial shunt. Pulmonary arterial pressure decreased gradually(the range of coefficient of variation 14.70%-32.13%) as estimated by tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient.Conclusions:Atrial septostomy is an effective measure to relieve right heart pressure and improve right heart function in patients with ECMO. The echocardiography can be helpful for the monitoring of atrial septostomy.

The JC virus is a widely infected human polyomavirus. Recent foreign researches showed that the JC virus infection is correlated with tumors of nervous system and digestive system, while, and study on the relationship between JC virus infection and gynecological tumor is seldom reported. In this study, we first establish the nucleic acid detection methods and procedures for JC virus and its highly homologous BK virus. The JC and BK viruses infection was evaluated by detect the viral DNA in samples including biopsy tissues, serum as well as urine of myoma of uterus (98 cases), cervical cancer (84 cases), endometrial cancer (40 cases) and ovarian tumor (72 cases) patients. The BK viral DNA positive rate was significantly higher in urine samples than that of blood and biopsy samples, and there is no significant difference of the BK viral DNA positive rate among all patient groups. The JC viral DNA positive rate is almost 0 in serum samples and biopsy. tissues, however, viral DNA positive rate is more than 50% in urine samples. In fibroids group, the JC viral DNA positive rate is up to 65. 3% which is significantly higher than that in other patients groups and healthy control. Further gynecological tumor associated viruses detection showed that only human papilloma virus infection is associated with cervical cancer, the herpes simplex virus, EB virus and cytomegalovirus infection is extremely low in our patient groups. No synergistic effect on gynecological tumor caused by viruses co-infection was observed. Our study showed that JC virus infection is highly related to the pathogenesis of uterine fibroids.
