1.Several misunderstandings on PBL teaching
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2015;14(6):557-560
Problem-based learning (PBL) has been widely used all around the country.But there are still many misconceptions on the understanding of the PBL teaching in the process of teaching practice,which reduces the PBL teaching effect.For example,it is a misunderstanding to put problems to asking for answers to the questions other than solving the problems and to put case-based learning (CBL) and team-based learning (TBL) to PBL.In this paper,we combined the references with the practice experience to compare PBL with CBL,TBL and flipped instruction in both features and connotations based on the brief discussion of the problem in PBL teaching,to further strengthen the understanding of the PBL teaching.It is only the use of clinical cases to guide students to find the defects of the knowledge required for solving the problem and the process of acquiring the scientific knowledge which is implicit in the problem through the students' autonomous learning that can be called as PBL teaching.

Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(03):-
Aim This study was to investigate the effect of isoflurane on contracted renal arterial smooth muscle and to determine whether the MAPK pathway is involved in the intracellular signaling. Methods ①Rabbit renal arterial strips were treated with sapoin to make the sarcolemma permeability. And the calcium stored in reticulum (SR) was released using caffeine.Stead state tense was obtained when the strips were soaked in submaximal calcium concentration buffer.Then the submaximal calcium concentration buffer with various concentration isoflurane was admininstered,the change of tensions was detected.②primary renal arterial smooth muscle cells were cultured and treated with different concentration of isoflurane for different duration,and the levels of phosphorylated ERK1/2 in different groups were detected with western blot.Result Isoflurane all caused rabbit renal artery strips further contraction after they have reached equilibrium,and the tension altitude was isoflurane concentration dependent. Isoflurane upregulates ERK1/2 (p44/42) phosphorylation in cultured renal arterial smooth muscle cells in a concentration and time depend way.Conclusion Isoflurane can upregulates the tension of contracted renal arterial smooth muscle. And it may involve the activation of p44/42 MAPK pathway.

BACKGROUND:In high-intensity exhaustive exercise process, the body must bear the exercise intensity decreasing splanchnic blood flow“ischemia”, at the same time, along with the movement of energy and material consumption, metabolite accumulation and oxidative stress in the body cause pathological damage, leading to a decline in exercise capacity. Thus, what is the impact on kidney filtration barrier? How to adapt to the change of renal tissue? Houttuynia cordata has the functions of heat clearing and detoxifying, dieresis for treating strangurtia, hemostatic, expel ing phlegm to arrest coughing and analgesia, if it has a protective effect on the renal injury caused by acute exhaustive exercise and its mechanism has not been reported in the literature. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of acute exhaustive exercise on kidney filtration barrier in rats and the intervention effect of Houttuynia cordata.METHODS:After resting and watching for 3 days, Sprague-Dawley rats received adaptive running for 15 minutes at a speed of 10 m/min on a 0° treadmil . A total of 24 rats, which can finish the running, were selected. They were divided into normal control group, exhaustive exercise group and dosed exhaustive exercise group according to the weight of layer (n=8). Rats in the exhaustive exercise group and dosed exhaustive exercise group on the 10° treadmil received once exhaustive exercise. Dosed exhaustive exercise group received intraperitoneal injection of sodium houttuyfonate 10 mL/kg at 30 minutes before exercises. The normal control group did not do any exercise. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the normal control group, serum urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, urine protein content, malondialdehyde concentration, renal cellapoptosis and apoptosis index were significantly increased, but nitric oxide content and nitric oxide synthase activity in the renal tissue were significantly deceased in the exhaustive exercise group (P<0.05 or 0.01). Glomerular filtration epithelial cells, the kidney filtration barrier of basement membrane and podocyte damage were obvious, showing abundant cellapoptosis, occasional y necrosis. Compared with the exhaustive exercise group, urine protein content, serum creatinine, malondialdehyde concentration, renal cellapoptosis and apoptosis index were significantly reduced, but nitric oxide content and nitric oxide synthase activity were significantly increased in the dosed exhaustive exercise group (P<0.05). No obvious pathological changes were detected, but apoptosis was visible. These findings confirmed that houttuynine made a reduction in renal cellinjury induced by exhaustive exercise and possibly significantly reduced apoptosis, increased nitric oxide synthase content, decreased malonaldehyde, and apparently increased superoxide dismutase activity, and final y protected injured renal tissue induced by exhaustive exercise.

Objective To investigate the characters and targeted ability of FITC-CSNRDARRC molecular probe in labeling orthotopic transplantation tumor of bladder cancer in vivo.Methods From July 2013 to June 2014,the stability and characters of FITC-CSNRDARRC molecular probe were detected by spectrophotometer and molecular imaging and the optimum concentration and imaging time window were determined.30 BALB-C nude mice were randomly divided into experimental group (n =20) and control group(n =10).In control group,5 of them (group A) were ligated bilateral ureter,others(group B) were not.We established orthotropic transplanted bladder tumor (BIU-87) model by operation.And 0.2 ml probes (220 μmol/L) was then injected intravenously in all mice after 2 weeks.We obtained images and analyzed average gray value of the heart,lung,liver,spleen,bilateral kidney and orthotropic transplantation bladder tumor by using optical probe molecule fluorescence imaging system after 30 min,1 h,2 h,4 h and 12 h,respectively.Results After injected the FITC-CSNRDARRC molecular probes intravenously at 220 μmol/L,the fluorescence signal of tumor tissue strengthened gradually.The optimal imaging time window was 4 hours after injection.The illumination and temperature had little effect on the fluorescence signal.With the time passing after injection,the intensity of florescence signal progressively increasing,which reached the peak at4 h.The average gray value of tumor tissue at 1 h,2 h,3 h,4 h,5 h,6 h,8 h,12 h were 74.22,76.2,80.11,89.38,83.29,85.1,81.22,83.01,respectively.The fluorescence signal of normal tissue weakened gradually with the passage of time.Only liver and gall bladder could notice the fluorescence signal 4 hours after injection in group A.However,the relatively strong fluorescence signal could be found in liver and gall bladder in group B.Conclusions The characters of fluorescence probe are affected by its concentration.Its optimal concentration of labeling tumor is 220 μmol/L.The optical imaging time window was about 4 h after intravenous injection.The FITC-CSNRDARRC molecular probe can specifically bound to orthotopic transplanted tumor of bladder cancer in vivo.
