RESUMEN
Digital microscope interactive laboratories is a new form of medical morphology experimental teaching method.It provides an efficient means of teaching and communication for experiment teaching and creates the conditions for experimental teaching mode reform.This paper discusses the histology experiment teaching mode based on digital microscope interactive laboratory.The mode can be achieved with high efficiency of interaction between teachers and students and fully share of resources,which helps train students in observation,communication and many other practical abilities,and also helps improve the experiment teaching quality.
RESUMEN
<p><b>AIM</b>To identify a novel alternative transcript of the novel retinal pigment epithelial cell gene (NORPEG) expressed in the human testis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A human testis cDNA microarray was established and hybridized with cDNA probes from human fetal testes, adult testes and human spermatozoa. Differentially expressed clones were sequenced and analyzed. One of these clones was a short transcript of NORPEG which we proceeded to analyze by RT-PCR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The novel short alternative transcript of NORPEG was isolated and named sNORPEG. It was 3486 bp in length and contained a 2952-bp open reading frame, encoding a 110.4-kDa protein of 983 amino acids. Amino acid sequence analysis showed that the sNORPEG protein contains six ankyrin repeats and two coiled-coil domains. It shares a high homology with the NORPEG and ankycorbin proteins in both its sequence and motifs. Blasting the human genome database localized sNORPEG to human chromosome 5p13.2-13.3. Expression profiles showed that sNORPEG was expressed in human fetal testes, adult testes and spermatozoa. Moreover, sNORPEG was found to be ubiquitously expressed in human tissues.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>sNORPEG is expressed in different developmental stages of the testis and encodes a protein that may have roles in human testis development and spermatogenesis.</p>
