Taking Kunming Medical University as an example, we explore the mechanism for the separation and coordination of supervision, management, and evaluation, establish and implement a course quality rating system, and strengthen the course quality evaluation. The course quality rating system mainly consists of merit evaluation for courses of grades A and B and admittance evaluation for courses of grades C and D. Through the course quality rating, courses are diagnosed and compared, with the aim to improve course connotation construction (labeling, setting an example, promoting excellent courses, and removing inferior courses), achieve "good pay for good courses", encourage the faculty to strengthen curriculum quality, and measure ourselves with our own ruler. We discussed the problems about the difference in evaluation indicators, the professionality of evaluators, and the incentive effect of evaluation results, and also proposed strategies for improving course quality rating in medical colleges from the perspectives of deepening the content of evaluation indices, ensuring the effectiveness after evaluation, and ascertaining the main body of course construction in daily work.

The content of endogenous anabolic steroids is extremely low in biological matrices.Its chemical structure contains polar functional groups such as hydroxyl and carbonyl, which limits their applicability in GC-MS.The lack of ionized groups in the chemical structure leads to poor sensitivity in LC-MS, which plays a significant role in various physiological activities analysis.It is an effective way to enhance the response of mass spectrometer by modifying the chemical structure of endogenous anabolic steroids through derivatization technology.This review summarizes various derivatization reagents and corresponding derivatization processes of endogenous anabolic steroids analysis in the methods based on different testing instruments and methodologies.The advantage and disadvantage of all kinds of derivatiaztion methods and the prospect of the endogenous anabolic steroids derivatiaztion techniques are also discussed.

Objective CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing technique provides an novel method for whole genome editing in eukaryotic cells.Recently,we found that gene subtype library with smaller size and focused pur-pose is more economical and practical. In this study,we aimed to target kinases,a group of pivotal cell signal transducers,to construct a kinase knock-out library using CRISPR/Cas9 technique.The construction strategy wll al-so be discussed. Methods 10 sgRNA was designed for each kinase target.After oligo pool synthesis by semicon-ductor chip,the oligos were eluted from the chip. The oligo templates were amplified and cloned into Cas9 vector and transformed into Stble3 competent cells.Monoclonal colonies were selected for DNA sequencing. Results(1) GO analysis of 507 cell kinases showed that the cell kinases took part in a wide range of cell signaling.(2)The sgRNA pool with about 140 bp in length was successfully amplified by using oligo pool as the template and univer-sal PCR primers.(3)In 40 identified library clones,34 clones were sequenced successfully. Among them,the DNA sequencing results of 25 samples were completely consistent with the designed target sequences.But there are some mutations in the primers of 9 samples.Failure in bacteria shaking,DNA sequencing and other factors were ex-isted in the other clones. Conclusion The CRISPR/Cas9 kinase knock-out library can be widely used for screen-ing the important kinases which may mediate cell proliferation,metastasis,drug resistance and autophagy.This li-brary will play an important role in clarifying the development of disease associated with kinases.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage failure of the kidney, but the efficacy of currently available strategies for the prevention of DN remains unsatisfactory. In this study, we investigated the effects of free anthraquinones (FARs) extract, which was extracted from the rhubarb and purified by macroporous resin DM130 with gradient mixtures of ethanol/water as the lelution solvents, in high glucose-cultured glomerular mesangial cells (MCs). The cell proliferation was determined by CCK-8 assay, the levels of TGF-beta1, CTGF, ColIV and FN proteins in the supernatant of MCs were measured by ELISA assays, and the mRNA levels of these four genes were detected by RT-PCR. The results showed that the increased proliferation of MCs, the mRNA levels and protein expression of TGF-beta1, CTGF, ColIV and FN induced by high glucose were inhibited after the treatment with the FARs extract. This indicated that FARs extract could inhibit cell proliferation and the expression of main extracellular matrix induced by high glucose in MCs. The FARs extract exhibited potential values for prophylaxis and therapy of DN.
