ABSTRACT
Protein and Enzyme Engineering is the core and required course for colleague students majored in biotechnology, which plays an important role in the professional training system. In accordance with the "Guidelines for the Development of Ideological Education in Higher Education Institutions" issued by the Ministry of Education, we explored the combination of course teaching with ideological education by considering the features of the biotechnology major and the course and setting up rational teaching objectives. This paper described the strategy, design, implementation and evaluation approaches that were used in the course of "Protein and Enzyme Engineering" to achieve a good integration. The practice starts from story-telling, discussion of life, case study, hot issues discussion, literature discussion and presentations. The scientific spirits, civic character, global vision, eco-civilization and legal consciousness, as well as their native land emotion and cultural confidence, were boosted. The natural integration of the ideological education into the whole process of this course helped to better achieve the goal of curriculum education while promoting teaching excellence.

Objective To study the effect and its possible mechanism of p66shc on endothelial dysfunction induced by hydrogen peroxide(H2O2).Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were used and cultured.H UVEC cells were untreated(control group)or treated with four groups of H2O2,H2O2 plus protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors,H2O2 plus PKC activator,H2O2 plus P38 inhibitor for 30 minutes respectively,and cells were collected after 24 hours.The apoptosis,viability,proliferation of HUVEC were detected with immune fluorescent staining,MTT and Ki-67 respectively.P66shc and ser36 p66shc (p-p66shc)protein expressions were assessed using Western blotting.P66shc mRNA expression was measured with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results H2O2 induced HUVEC dysfunction which decreased HUVEC proliferation and increased the apoptosis of HUVEC.The expressions of p66shc,p-p66shc protein and p66shc mRNA were significantly increased after treating with H2O2.PKC inhibitor inhibited a H2O2 induced HUVEC dysfunction through increasing HUVEC proliferation activity and reducing cell apoptosis.The expressions of p66shc,p-p66shc protein and p66shc mRNA were significantly decreased after treating with H2O2 plus PKC inhibitor.PKC activator enhanced H2O2-induced HUVEC dysfunction and increased the expressions of p66shc.P38 inhibitor had no obvious effect on H2O2-induced HUVEC dysfunction and the expressions of p66shc.Conclusions p66shc may play an important regulatory rote in endothelial dysfunction caused by H2O2.P66shc may regulate a H2O2-induced endothelial dysfunction through PKC signal pathway.
ABSTRACT
Animal gastrointestinal tract contains a complex community of microbes, whose composition ultimately reflects the co-evolution of microorganisms with their animal host. The gut microbial community of humans and animals has received significant attention from researchers because of its association with health and disease. The application of metagenomics technology enables researchers to study not only the microbial composition but also the function of microbes in the gastrointestinal tract. In this paper, combined with our own findings, we summarized advances in studying gastrointestinal tract microorganism with metagenomics and the bioinformatics technology.
