ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the application effect of four-track teaching mode (LBL: lecture-based learning; CBL: case-based learning; PBL: problem-based learning) in pediatric teaching of integrated traditional Chinese and Western Medicine.Methods:175 integrated traditional Chinese and Western medical students in seven-year program were divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group was taught by four-track teaching mode, while students in the control group. Were applied with traditional teaching method ("LBL+CBL").Results:Students in the experimental group highly rated the four-track teaching mode and were better than those in the control group in the following aspects: satisfaction with teaching methods, interest in learning, the ability of creative thinking, the thinking ability of clinical diagnosis and treatment, and memorization ( P<0.05). And students' mid-term, final and comprehensive scores in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with traditional teaching methods, the four-track teaching mode can improve the quality of pediatric teaching of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medical students, which should be further integrated and perfected in the teaching practice.
ABSTRACT
Erchen Decoction is widely used to dampness-phlegm syndrome and it can be flexibly used in clinical application by my supervisor Professor OU Zheng-wu, especially in cough, pneumonia, asthma and influenza, which has obvious efficacy in treatment. This article reviewed five medical cases during the follow-up process with Professor OU in application of Erchen Decoction, with a purpose to share experience of famous doctors and improve TCM diagnosis and treatment level together.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the impacts of Kechuanning on expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT 6) in CD4+, CD8+T lymphocytes of athma rats induced by virus, and analyze the mechanism of Kechuanning in treating asthma induced by RSV. Methods The PBMC was isolated from the peripheral blood, CD4+T, CD8+T lymphocyte was separated by immunomagnetic beads. The purity and activity of CD4+T and CD8+T lymphocytes were measured by using flow cytometry, trypan-blue dye exclusion test. The protein expression of STAT6 was detected by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Results The descending progress of the trial were supported by the purity and activity of CD4+T, CD8+T lymphocyte. CD4+T lymphocyte in the asthma model group were increased (P0.05). The expression of the protein of STAT6 in the treated group with Kechuanning decoction were decreased than that in the model group (P0.05). Conclusion Kechuanning decoction could decrease the protein of STAT6 in CD4+, CD8+T lymphocyte, thereby it could regulate the disorder of Th1/Th2, thus prevent and treat the asthmatic attack induced by virus.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of Kechuanning Oral liquid on the expression of P13K in CD4+and CD8+T cells of asthma rats induced by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and explore its mechanism of preventing and treating asthma induced by virus. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) control group, model group, dexamethasone and salbutamol group (positive drug group), and Kechuanning oral liquid group. Ovalbumin asthma rats model was built and induced by RSV. CD4+and CD8+T cells were separated by magnetic beads method. The expressive level of PI3K-110αin T cells was detected by immumofluorescence method with flow cytometry. Results Compared with PBS control group, positive drug group and Kechuanning oral liquid group, the CD4+and CD8+T cells percentage and the expression level of PI3K-110α in CD4+ and CD8+T cells of model group were significantly higher. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). The CD4+and CD8+T cells percentage was not associated with the expression level of PI3K-110α in CD4+ and CD8+T cells of each group by Pearson correlation analysis. Conclusion The CD4+ and CD8+T cells involve in the asthma immunity balanced modulation, and the level of PI3K expressed by CD4+ and CD8+T cells increase distinctly. Kechuanning oral liquid can restrain the expression of PI3K in CD4+ and CD8+T cells, which might be one of the immunologic mechanisms of treating asthma.
