ABSTRACT
Starting from the characteristics of nervous system,breaking the traditional subject-centered teaching model,combining the nervous system-related basic and clinical courses,Chongqing Medical University has established a nervous-module organ-system integration curriculum since 2010.This new teaching model is introduced and practiced in 5-year outstanding medical class of Chongqing Medical University.The new integrated curriculum guides students to learn knowledge from points to surface,helps them to combine knowledge vertically and horizontally,and simplifies the duplicate teaching content,so as to promote students to develop coherent and innovative thinking mode.Integrated curriculum pattern is an inevitable trend in medical education reform.
ABSTRACT
This paper proposed the idea of building the applied anatomical experiment and research platform for surgical postgraduates with professional degree,establishing double-tutorial system and applying applied anatomical teaching in basis course learning,clinical skill training and research capacity cultivating after analyzing the reasons of poor applied anatomical background of surgical postgraduates with professional degree.These ideas were intended to improve the cultivation quality.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To explore the possibility that proteasome is involved in nicastrin(NCT) degradation and NCT is ubiquitinated before degradation.METHODS: Following the generation of NCT stable cell lines,the methods of Western blotting,pulse-chase metabolic labeling technique,double immunofluorescent staining,combined with proteasomal inhibition were used to investigate the NCT expression in NCT stable cell line.RESULTS: Treatment of the cells with proteasomal inhibitors significantly increased both endogenous NCT(produced by the cell itself) and exogenous NCT(produced by the gene transfection) in SH-SY5Y cells.The effect of specific proteasomal inhibitor lactacystin on NCT expression was in time-and dose-dependent manners.Pulse-chase metabolic labeling experiment showed that the turnover of newly-synthesized radio-labeled nicastrin protein was blocked by lactacystin.The results of double immunofluorescent staining showed that NCT and ubiquitin were co-located in the cells.CONCLUSION: The proteasome is involved in the degradation of NCT in neuronal cells,and NCT is ubiquitinated before degradation.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the relationship between the dynamic plasma level of arginine-vasopressin (AVP) and the brain water content (BWC) in the rats after severe burn.Methods:Radioimmunoassay(RIA) was performed to measure the dynamic plasma levels of AVP in the rats.Dry-wet weight method was used to measure the changes of water content in brain.All the data were statistically processed.Results:The plasma level of AVP and BWC in the rats increased after severe burn,and the plasma level reached the peak at 6h after burn.The positive correlations were observed between the two parameters( r =0.8790, P
