ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of dioscin on uric acid(UA)-induced oxidative stress injury of human renal tubular epithelial cells(HK-2)and its molecular mechanism.Methods HK-2 cells were cultured and divided into four groups:blank group(normal group),model group(uric acid-stimulation modeling),condition control group(UA+DMSO)and dioscin group(UA+dioscin).Oxidative stress injury model was induced by UA in HK-2 cells.Cells viability was detected by CCK-8.ROS level was detected by flow cytometry.Real-time PCR was used to detect the expressions of glycogen synthase kinase 3β(GSK3β),nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)and heme oxygenase 1(HO-1)at mRNA level,and Western Blot was used to detect the expressions of phosphorylated glycogen synthesis kinase 3β(p-GSK3β),GSK3β,Nrf2 and HO-1 at protein level.Results After stimulation by UA,HK-2 cells viability was obviously decreased,and ROS level was significantly increased(all P<0.001).When treated with dioscin,HK-2 cells viability was obviously increased,and the ROS level of HK-2 cells was significantly decreased(all P<0.001).The expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 decreased at the protein and mRNA levels after stimulation with UA.But the expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 significantly increased after treated with dioscin(all P<0.001).Compared with the blank group,the p-GSK3β/GSK3β ratio in the model group decreased significantly at the protein level,but the p-GSK3β/GSK3β ratio increased after treated with dioscin(all P<0.001).Conclusion Dioscin can alleviate UA-induced oxidative stress injury in HK-2 cells.The mechanism might be that dioscin can promote phosphorylation of GSK3β,and activate Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the application effect of WeChat group combined with case-based learning (CBL) in probation teaching of vascular surgery.Methods:A total of 128 intern doctors of the seven-year medical program in vascular surgery were selected and divided into experimental group (WeChat group combined with CBL teaching) and control group (CBL teaching alone), and a unified assessment method was used to evaluate the mastery degree of professional theories and clinical knowledge and assess the teaching effect of these two teaching modes in vascular surgery. SPSS 22.0 was used to perform the t-test. Results:Compared with the control group, the experimental group had significantly higher scores of theoretical examination [(86.36±7.42) vs. (84.71±6.72)] and clinical examination [(88.44±7.62) vs. (86.22±6.41)], as well as significantly higher degrees of satisfaction with learning interest, classroom climate, self-learning ability, clinical thinking ability, and teamwork spirit.Conclusion:The teaching mode of WeChat group combined with CBL can improve the effect of the probation teaching of vascular surgery and the self-learning and clinical thinking abilities of intern doctors.
