Objective To explore the practice teaching model of human anatomy through re-forming the practice teaching of system anatomy and regional anatomy. Methods Three classes of clinical medicine (5-year program) were randomly selected as reform experimental classes and the other 3 classes of the same grade were used as control classes. The teaching content of practice teach-ing was reformed in the experimental classes. In the system anatomy practice teaching, the teacher controlled the teaching process and developed the theme and requirements of each experimental class while the student completed the experiment developed by the teacher. In the regional anatomy practice teaching, students' interest in learning was stimulated by the content , which was related with the surgery, and the teacher guided students to complete the operation. In control classes, the forms of student observation as well as teacher answering questions and helping students were adopted. The student grading was divided into theoretical knowledge examination and specimen assessment and the achievement was analyzed by using a Simple Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in SPSS 16.0. Results Compared with those of control classes, the scores of system anatomy and regional anatomy in experi-mental classes were significantly increased (80.7±5.8) vs. (67.4±17.4), (85.1±4.6) vs. (62.6± 12.4) and the theoretical scores of system anatomy were also improved significantly. But no significant difference in theoretical scores of regional anatomy was observed. Conclusions The teaching mode based on the practice teaching highlights the academic characteristics of the human anatomy, increas-es students' interest in learning and improves the effectiveness of practice teaching in human anatomy.

Objective To investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBOP) on brain edema, inflammatory reaction and neuronal cell apoptosis induced by experimental hemorrhage in rats. Method Eighteen male Spraque-Dawley rats, weighing 300 - 350 g,received five successive sessions of HBOP with 3 atmosphere absolute pressure and 100% O2 one hour daily for five successive days, and other eighteen rats received five successive sessions of pretreatment with one atmosphere absolute pressure, air, one hour daily for five successive days. Twenty-four hours after the final pre-conditioning, rats received an infusion of 100 μL autologous blood into the basal ganglion. Seventy-two hours later, rats were sacrificed for brain edema measurements in 12 rats of each group. The histopathological changes around the hematoma were observed microscopically, and the neuronal cell apoptosis was detected by using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) in six rats of each group. Data of brain water content were analyzed by using Stata 7.0 software and statistical analysis was carried out by two-tailed Student t -test. Results Compared with the control group, HBOP significantly attenuated brain edema 72 hours after intra-cerebral hemorrhage in experimental rats (81. 6± 0. 7% vs. 82. 8± 0.9%, P < 0.01). Inflammatory cell infiltration and neuronal cell apoptosis were also significantly decreased in the HBOP group. Conclusions HBOP protects the rats against brain edema formation, and quells inflammatory reaction and neuronal cell apoptosis following intra-cerebral hemorrhage in experimental rats.
