少数民族医学生医学微生物学实验教学的改革与实践——以酸奶制备为例

医学微生物学实验教学中基本操作是双基训练的重要部分,学生对实验技术的掌握程度决定了实验教学的成败。通过酸奶制备的一系列实验过程,把实验内容由验证性改变为设计性,激发了学生的学习兴趣,动手能力提高,实验教学效果良好。     

浅谈对医学生临床思维与临床技能提高的培养

为适应目前医学事业发展的需要,医学生的临床思维与临床技能的培养至关重要。在教学中,应不断提高教师自身的业务水平和自身素质,给予学生适当引导和启发,采取灵活多样的教学方式,并鼓励学生学会独立思考能力,激发学生的主动性和创造性,同时理论与实践相结合,推出模拟教学,由此激发学生的学习兴趣;并通过病例的采集归纳和整理,加强基本功的训练。从而提高学生临床思维能力与标准实践技能。     

Increased sister-chromatid exchange in bone-marrow cells of mice exposed to whole cigarette smoke

Male Wistar rats were fed diets of varying selenium content in order to obtain selenium-deficient and selenium-supplemented rats. After 5-6 weeks on the respective diet, the rats were used to investigate how selenium influences the effect of dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) on some liver enzymes and related reactions. The selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase activity in postmicrosomal supernatant from liver was about 1% in selenium-deficient rats as compared to selenium-supplemented rats or rats fed a standard diet. The highest DMN-demethylase activity was observed in postmitochondrial supernatant from selenium-deficient rat liver, and the lowest in selenium-supplemented rats. No dietary effect was observed on hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 levels. C-Oxygenation of N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) was not affected by the selenium level. On the other hand, selenium deficiency seemed to reduce N-oxygenation of DMA. The mutagenicity of DMN in Chinese hamster V79 cells after metabolic activation by the isolated perfused rat liver, was approximately doubled when selenium-deficient livers were used as compared to selenium-supplemented livers and livers from rats fed a standard diet. A negative correlation between DMA-N-oxygenation and mutagenicity from DMN was observed, whereas no correlation between DMA-C-oxygenation and mutagenicity from DMN was found.     

Sequences of the 1.672 g/cm3 satellite DNA of Drosophila melanogaster.

The 1.672 g/cm³ satellite DNA of Drosophila melanogaster was purified by successive equilibrium centrifugations in a CsCl gradient, an actinomycin $\text{D}\text{CsCl}$ gradient, and a netropsin sulfate/CsCl gradient. The resulting DNA was homogeneous by the physical criteria of thermal denaturation, renaturation kinetics and equilibrium banding in each of the gradients listed above. In addition, the complementary strands could be separated in an alkaline CsCl gradient. Despite this rigorous purification procedure, nucleotide sequence analysis indicates the presence of two different DNA species in this satellite, poly $\text{A-A-T-A-T}\text{T-T-A-T-A}$ and poly$\text{A-A-T-A-T-A-T}\text{T-T-A-T-A-T-A}$. Further physical, chemical and template properties of the isolated complementary strands demonstrate that these two repeating sequences are not interspersed with each other. This result has biological significance since sequences of this particular satellite are known to be located primarily on two different chromosomes, Y and 2. These results further suggest that the sequence heterogeneity observed in satellite DNA of higher eukaryotes may result from mixtures of very closely related but molecularly homogeneous repeated sequences each restricted to a particular chromosome or chromosomal region.     

Resurvey studies of terricolous bryophytes and lichens indicate a widespread nutrient enrichment in German forests

Questions

Vegetation resurveys, both single studies and meta-analyses, have predominantly been based on vascular plant data while bryophytes and lichens have largely been neglected. Our study aims to fill this gap and addresses the following research questions: has the overall species richness of terricolous bryophytes and lichens in forests changed over time? Which are the winners and losers among single species and ecological species groups? Do the results give a signal of the impact of nutrient enrichment, of changes in the light regime and of climate change?

Location

Deciduous and coniferous forests in Germany.

Methods

We compiled 35 single resurvey data sets, including 1096 plots in total (each sampled twice). The time interval between initial surveys and resurveys ranged from 10 to 65 years. The differences between old and new plots were analysed with respect to the frequency of single species, total species richness, and the absolute and relative numbers of taxa in the species groups. Trend scores of species were related to ecological indicator values to identify the main environmental drivers behind the observed changes.

Results

Total species richness did not systematically change, while pleurocarpous mosses had increased at the expense of acrocarpous mosses and, in coniferous forests, of lichens. Weak changes were generally observed in deciduous forests on base-rich soils. In coniferous forests and in deciduous forests on acid soils, species with high nitrogen demand and high shade tolerance had increased, whereas those being typical for more infertile and open forest sites had decreased. There were trends towards a larger share of taxa with a more oceanic distribution.

Conclusions

The changes in the vegetation of terricolous bryophytes and lichens in the studied forests indicate nutrient enrichment and increasingly shady conditions in forests on acid soils, likely caused by nitrogen deposition and shrub layer closure.     

Gap junctions between sertoli and germ cells of rat seminiferous tubules

Ultrastructural observations of rat seminiferous tubules show clearly the presence of plasma membrane junctions between Sertoli and germ cells in the basal and adluminal compartments. Results obtained from the freeze fracture and thin section techniques were correlated in order to elucidate the nature of these intercellular junctions. We suggest that these intercellular membrane specializations are gap junctions which occur within regions of plasma membrane that also exhibit adherens-like modifications.     

Correlation of pacing site in right ventricle with paced QRS complex duration

Background

Pacing from RV mid septum and outflow tract septum has been proposed as a more physiological site of pacing and narrower paced QRS complex duration. The paced QRS morphology and duration in different RV pacing sites is under continued discussion. Hence, this study was designed to address the correlation of pacing sites in right ventricle with paced QRS complex duration.
