Construction and reflection of mixed evaluation system of physiology / 中华医学教育探索杂志

The mixed evaluation system uses the network platform as a carrier to construct a dynamic evaluation model that spans time and space between online and offline, between individuals and teams. Mixed evaluation system of physiology was performed for two years, and the process evaluation and the summative evaluation in the mixed evaluation system showed a good correlation, and the students' learning ability and learning effect showed consistency with the evaluation results. Practice has proved that the mixed evaluation system not only optimizes the traditional evaluation system, but also fully expands the five principles of formative evaluation; however, while reflecting the advantages of the network platform, it also exposes the defects of insufficient supervision of the network platform. Thus, we should further improve the mixed evaluation system of physiology.

Establishment of the patient derived liver cancer xenograft model / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective:To establish the patient derived xenograft (PDX) model of liver malignant tumor, analyze the related factors affecting the carcinogenesis of PDX model, and analyze the differences of biological characteristics between the primary tumor and PDX model.Methods:Fresh liver malignant tumor tissue samples were collected from the patients who received the surgery from the Tianjin First Central Hospital and the samples were inoculated subcutaneously into BALB/c-nu mice. The correlations between clinicopathological information and tumor formation rate were analyzed, and the pathological morphology and specific protein expression of PDX model and primary tumor were compared.Results:Thirty-three PDX models were successfully established from 63 cases of liver malignant tumors. The overall tumor formation rate was 52.4% (33/63), including 46.3% (25/54) of primary liver cancer and 88.9% (8/9) of liver metastasis. The main factors affecting the tumor formation rate were tumor pathological type, distant metastasis and TNM stage (all P<0.05). The pathological morphology and specific protein expression of PDX model and primary tumor were similar. Conclusion:The PDX model of liver malignant tumor was successfully constructed, and the tumor formation rate was high, and can maintain the biological characteristics of the primary tumor.

Hemodynamics and aortic tension induced by two septic shock models in rats / 浙江大学学报·医学版

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the ventricular-dynamic parameters and thoracic aorta tension induced by two septic shock models in rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Septic shock models were induced by cecal ligation or puncture (CLP) and intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rats. The carotid artery was cannulated and connected to a pressure transducer to determine mean arterial blood pressure (MABP). Ventricular dynamic parameters, including heart rate (HR), left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) and maximal rise/fall velocity of ventricular pressure (± dP/dtmax) were determined. Isolated thoracic rings were mounted on an organ bath and the tension of the vessel was recorded.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The mortality was 65.2% in CLP shock rats, but no death in LPS shock rats. The MABP and HR of CLP rats were decreased more prominently than those of LPS rats (P < 0.01). Contraction induced by high K(+) (60 mmol/L) or 10⁻⁶ mol/L phenylephrine (PE) in endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded aortic rings was all attenuated, but in LPS rats it was more prominent (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Two rat septic shock models can decrease ventricular-dynamic parameters and vasoconstriction responsiveness of aorta. The ventricular-dynamic parameters decrease more prominently in CLP model, while vasoconstriction responsiveness of aorta changes more in LPS model.</p>

Effect of nitric oxide synthase inhibitors on the changes of hemodynamic parameters and aortic tension induced by septic shock in rats / 中国应用生理学杂志

<p><b>AIM</b>To investigate the effect of three types of nitric oxide synthase inhibitors on the changes of hemodynamic parameters and thoracic aorta tension induced by septic shock in rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We used cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) method to establish septic shock in rats, and the three types of nitric oxide synthase inhibitors were injected after CLP. The carotid artery was cannulated and connected to a pressure transducer to determine mean arterial blood pressure (MABP). Ventricular dynamic parameters were determined following intraventricular cannulation via the carotid artery, including heart rate (HR), left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), maximal rise/fall velocity of ventricular pressure (+/- dP/dt(max)). Isolated thoracic rings were mounted on an organ bath and the tension of the vessel was recorded.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) After using L-NAME, AMG and 7-NI the mortality decreased to 50.0%, 37.5%, and 42.1%, respectively (from 65.2% in septic shock rats); (2) The MABP in septic shock rats partly recovered after using the NOS inhibitors, all ventricular dynamic parameters partly recovered after using the inhibitors; (3) The hyporeactivity of endothelium-denuded aortic rings to vasoconstrictors induced by septic shock was partly recovered by pretreatment with the inhibitors. However, only L-NAME or 7-NI could inhibit the decrease of vasoconstriction induced by septic shock in endothelium-intact aortic rings.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The three types of nitric oxide synthase inhibitors can improve the hemodynamic parameters and vasoconstriction responsiveness of endothelium-denuded aorta of septic shock rats. Furthermore, L-NAME and 7-NI improve the responsiveness of endothelium-intact aorta.</p>

The alterations of nitric oxide synthase activity of ventricular cardiac muscle of rats in two septic shock models / 中国应用生理学杂志

<p><b>AIM</b>To observe the differences of hemodynamics and nitric oxide synthase(NOS) activity of ventricular cardiac muscle in two septic shock models and explore the possible mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Two rat models of septic shock[lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced septic shock] were used. The hemodynamic parameters and nitric oxide synthase activity of ventricular cardiac muscle were measured.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The hemodynamic parameters in CLP-induced model were increased in the early stage and decreased in the late stage while in LPS-induced model the parameters showed the same change of the CLP late stage. Both LPS model and CLP model (late stage) showed significant increase in NOS activity, but there was no difference between the two models. After treatment of the NOS inhibitor N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), the parameters of CLP-late stage and LPS model increased significantly. The NOS activity reached the highest level in the CLP-middle stage. The production of nitrite/nitrate decreased significantly in LPS model and CLP model(late stage) after treatment of L-NAME, but the nitrite/nitrate produced by constitutive NOS in LPS model was higher than CLP model(late stage).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The increase of the NOS activity may be the main reason to lead to the depression of the hemodynamic parameters. Inducible NOS may play the leading role in the LPS model while cNOS and iNOS have the same effect in the CLP model.</p>

Experimental studies on antiarrhythmic effect of jumi extraction / 中国应用生理学杂志

<p><b>AIM</b>To investigate the antiarrhythmic effect of jumi (JM) extraction.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The conventional antiarrhythmic methods were used.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Administration of JM extraction reduced the occurrence of ventricular fibrillation induced by chloroform in a dose-dependent manner in mice. Quinidine significantly decreased the number of ventricular premature beats and ventricular tachycardia, shortened the duration of arrhythmia in aconitine-treated rats. But JM extraction had no effect on aconitine-induced arrhythmia. Compared with control, arrhythmia score was lower in ischemia/reperfusion rats which pretreated with 2.0 g/kg of JM extraction.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>JM extraction has obvious protection effects in chloroform- and ischemia-induced arrhythmia, but has no effect in aconitine-induced arrhythmia.</p>
