Practice of TBL teaching in functional experiment teaching based on clinical practice ability / 中华医学教育探索杂志

To explore the application effect of team-based learning (TBL) model in functional experiment teaching. A clinical case related to the animal experiment was selected and distributed to students through Internet before class. Individual tests for students were conducted in class to assess their understanding for the case. Then group tests were carried out, which were completed by in-group discussion. Finally, the clinical case was analyzed within group. The teaching process possesses several characteristics and advantages in helping students retrieve literature, cultivate their spirit of cooperation, their ability of clinical practice and so on, but it also has some shortcomings and deficiencies. Therefore, this paper summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of TBL teaching in functional experiment teaching based on existing experience so as to promote a broader application of TBL in our medical education.

Effect of Angong Niuhuang Pill and the heavy metal constituents on EcoG of brain damage in rats caused by LPS / 中成药

AIM:To evaluate the actions of cinnabaris and realgar in arousing brain and opening the orifices of Angong Niuhuang Pill,and to provide experimental basis for the rationality of Angong Niuhuang Pill buildup. METHODS: The brain damage model was made by LPS injection through caudal vein.With quantitative electroencephalogram of medicine methods,effects of Angong Niuhuang Pill,Angong Niuhuang Pill without cinnabaris and realgar,cinnabaris,realgar on the power and relative power of delta and beta waves of electrocorticogram(ECoG) were observed in the brain damage rats caused by LPS. RESULTS: LPS could increase the power and the relative power of the delta waves(0.5-3 Hz),and reduce the power and the relative power of the beta waves(14-30 Hz).All medicines could reduce the power and the relative power of the delta;Angong Niuhuang Pill,cinnabaris and realgar,realgar could increase the power and the relative power of the beta,cinnabaris could increase the relative power of the beta(14-30 Hz),and Angong Niuhuang Pill without cinnabaris and realgar could not. CONCLUSION: Angong Niuhuang Pill has obvious activation on ECoG,and same as cinnabaris and realgar.The results of the present work allow us to put forward the hypothesis that cinnabaris and realgar are most likely one of the important material basis in arousing brain and opening the orifices of Angong Niuhuang Pill.
