RESUMO
Objective:To explore the teaching effect of the combined use of curriculum ideological and political education and CDIO (connective, design, implement, operate) mode in the cultivation of stomatological top-notch innovative personnel.Methods:The research subjects were undergraduate students from School of Stomatology, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, who participated in stomatological top-notch innovative personnel training program in 2018 and 2019. CDIO was applied to control group, the combined use of curriculum ideological and political education and CDIO mode was applied to experimental group. After the training, the students' research and innovation capacity was examined and the teaching efficiency of these two models was reflected by the students' questionnaire. SPSS 20.0 software was used for t test. Results:In terms of research and innovation capacity, students scored significantly better in professional English, concluding report, papers publishing, and field defense in experimental group than in control group [(22.43±0.61) vs. (18.49±0.77), (22.48±0.32) vs. (19.05±0.53), (23.69±0.33) vs. (21.89±0.52), and (22.78±0.48) vs. (20.43±0.56), respectively, P<0.05]. The students in experimental group highly agreed with the teaching efficiency of the combined use of curriculum ideological and political education and CDIO mode. Conclusion:The combined use of curriculum ideological and political education and CDIO mode could enhance subjective initiative, sense of identity, sense of pride, sense of belonging, cultivation of multi-dimensional ability, thus helping to form a novel system of stomatological top-notch innovative personnel training.
RESUMO
Bacterial small RNAs perform numerous regulatory roles, including acting as antitoxic components in toxin-antitoxin systems. In type III toxin-antitoxin systems, small processed RNAs directly antagonize their toxin protein partners, and in the systems characterized the toxin and antitoxin components together form a trimeric assembly. In the present study, we sought to define how the RNA antitoxin, ToxI, inhibits its potentially lethal protein partner, ToxN. We show through cross-inhibition experiments with the ToxIN systems from Pectobacterium atrosepticum (ToxIN(Pa)) and Bacillus thuringiensis (ToxIN(Bt)) that ToxI RNAs are highly selective enzyme inhibitors. Both systems have an "addictive" plasmid maintenance phenotype. We demonstrate that ToxI(Pa) can inhibit ToxN(Pa) in vitro both in its processed form and as a repetitive precursor RNA, and this inhibition is linked to the self-assembly of the trimeric complex. Inhibition and self-assembly are both mediated entirely by the ToxI(Pa) RNA, with no requirement for cellular factors or exogenous energy. Finally, we explain the origins of ToxI antitoxin selectivity through our crystal structure of the ToxIN(Bt) complex. Our results show how a processed RNA pseudoknot can inhibit a deleterious protein with exquisite molecular specificity and how these self-contained and addictive RNA-protein pairs can confer different adaptive benefits in their bacterial hosts.

Periodontal disease is characterized by the destruction of periodontal tissues. Various methods of regenerative periodontal therapy, including the use of barrier membranes, bone replacement grafts, growth factors and the combination of these procedures have been investigated. The development of biomaterials for tissue engineering has considerably improved the available treatment options above. They fall into two broad classes: ceramics and polymers. The available ceramic-based materials include calcium phosphate (eg, tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite), calcium sulfate and bioactive glass. The bioactive glass bonds to the bone with the formation of a layer of carbonated hydroxyapatite in situ. The natural polymers include modified polysaccharides (eg, chitosan,) and polypeptides (collagen and gelatin). Synthetic polymers [eg, poly(glycolic acid), poly(L-lactic acid)] provide a platform for exhibiting the biomechanical properties of scaffolds in tissue engineering. The materials usually work as osteogenic, osteoconductive and osteoinductive scaffolds. Polymers are more widely used as a barrier material in guided tissue regeneration (GTR). They are shown to exclude epithelial downgrowth and allow periodontal ligament and alveolar bone cells to repopulate the defect. An attempt to overcome the problems related to a collapse of the barrier membrane in GTR or epithelial downgrowth is the use of a combination of barrier membranes and grafting materials. This article reviews various biomaterials including scaffolds and membranes used for periodontal treatment and their impacts on the experimental or clinical management of periodontal defect.
