RESUMEN
Based on the combination of formative evaluation and summative evaluation,the newlybuilt virtual experimental platform was applied to the functional experimental assessment of clinical students.Its effects were observed by the process evaluation of "daily performance-virtual and real operation + written exam" and feedback from teachers and students.The results showed that daily performance,experimental operation,experimental report and final score of students in the experimental group who received the teaching by virtual experimental platform were significantly better than those in the control group;the students' interests in learning and self-learning ability in the experimental group were also significantly improved.This research showed that the introduction of virtual experimental platform into the teaching evaluation of diversified functional experiment enriches the contents and ways of formative evaluation,so as to improves students' experimental skills,and further enhance the effects of experimental teaching.

RESUMEN
[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To observe the effect of oleanolic acid ( OA) on the expression of Tumor necrosis factor-α( TNF-α) and collagen in silicotic rats in vivo and its possible mechanism.METHODS:Male Wistar rats were divided in-to 4 groups according to the randomized block design:control group, model group, OA group and solvent control group (20 rats in each group) .Except control group, the rats in other groups were induced by intratracheal instillation of silicon di-oxide (SiO2;250 mg/kg).The rats in OA group were intragastrically administered with OA (60 mg/kg) from the second day of giving SiO2 .The rats in solvent control group were gavaged daily with 0.6%sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution (10 mL/kg).The rats in control group were given normal saline under the same condition for 56 consecutive days.All rats were killed at the 7th, 14th, 28th and 56th days.The lung coefficient was detected and the morphological changes were ob-served.The serum contents of TNF-αwere detected by ELISA.The content of total collagen in the lung tissue was meas-ured.The protein level of nuclear factor-κB ( NF-κB) in the lung tissue was determined by immunohistochemical method. RESULTS:(1) According to the morphological changes, the silicosis model was successfully established.Compared with control group, the lung coefficient and total collagen increased obviously in model group and solvent control group.The lung coefficient and total collagen content in OA group at each time point reduced compared with those in model group and sol- vent group, and increased compared with those in control group at the corresponding time points.(2) The serum contents of TNF-αin model group and solvent control group significantly increased, peaking at the 14th day, slightly decreasing af-terward, and showing statistically significant difference at each time point compared with those in control group.No signifi-cant difference between model group and solvent group at different time points was observed.OA had inhibitory effect on the contents of TNF-αcompared with model group and solvent group at the corresponding time points.(3) NF-κB in model group and solvent control group significantly increased, peaking at the 28th day, and showing statistically significant differ-ence at each time point compared with those in control group.The NF-κB expression in OA group was similar to model group, but significantly decreased compared with control group at each time point.CONCLUSION: OA inhibits the ex-pression of TNF-αand collagen and attenuates the silicosis fibrosis, which may be related to the NF-κB pathway.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe BQ123 on lung tissue injury following ischemia-reperfusion of hind limbs in rats.Methods A total of 30 male SD rats were randomly divided into control,I-R,and BQ123 groups,with 10 rats in each group. After 4- hour of ischemia and 4-hour of reperfusion to the hind limbs, ET-1 was measured by radioimmunoassay, levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and malondialehyde (MDA) were examined by biochemical method,and the content of P-selectin was examined by ELISA. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expressions of Fas,Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 in lung tissues. Pulmonary apoptosis was examined by means of TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling ( TUNEL) . Results Compared with the control group,the levels of ET-1,MPO,MDA and P-selectin in lung tissues were all increased significantly in I-R group ( P<0. 01). The expressions of Fas,Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 were 0. 294±0. 003,0. 108±0. 005,and 0. 174±0. 003,significantly up-regulated in the I-R group. The apoptosis rate [(18. 83±2. 86)%] was significantly increased in the I-R group (P<0. 01). Compared with I-R group,the tissue contents of ET-1,MPO,MDA and P-selectin were significantly lowered in BQ123 group (P<0. 01). The expression levels of Fas (0. 115±0. 007) and Caspase-3 (0. 159±0. 006) were decreased,but the expression of Bcl-2 was increased (0. 128±0. 005). The apoptosis rate in BQ123 group was significantly lower [(10. 67±2. 16)%,P<0. 01].Conclusion BQ123 may have protective effects on lung tissue after limb ischemia-reperfusion in rats by means of improving neutrophil aggregation and reducing the expression of proteins related to cell apoptosis.

Objective To observe the protection effect of ischemic preconditioning to small intestines injury after limbs ischemia reperfusion ,and investigate the role of nitrogen monoxidum in the process .Methods 52 male Wistar rats were randomly divided in-to Sham group ,limbs ischemia-reperfusion (IR) group ,IPC + IR group and Nω-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME) group . The value of diamine oxidase (DAO) and nitrogen monoxidum (NO) in plasma and gut tissue ,the content of fluorescein isothiocya-nate lipopolysaccharide (FITC-LPS) in plasma ,and the value of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and malondialehyde (MDA) in gut tissue were measured ,respectively .The expression of P-selection and Caspase-3 were measured by immunohisto-chemistry .The apoptosis of intestinal cells was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase -mediated dUTP nick end labe-ling (TUNEL) and the results were analysed quantitatively by automatic image analytical system .Results Compared with the LIR group ,the values of DAO and FITC-LPS in plasma decreased obviously in the IPC group ,and the level of NO in plasma increased obviously (P<0 .01) .The values of DAO ,NO and cGMP in gut tissue increased obviously ,the level of MDA and the expression of Caspase-3 and the apoptosis index (AI) were significantly decreased in IPC group (P<0 .01) .Compared with the IPC group ,the value of DAO and FITC-LPS were higher and the level of NO was lower in plasma of the L-NAME group (P<0 .01) .The values of DAO ,NO and cGM P in gut tissue obviously decreased ,the level of MDA significantly increased ,and the expression of Caspase-3 and the AI significantly upregulated in L-NAME group than those in IPC group (P<0 .01) .Conclusion IPC can improve the small intestine injury and the apoptosis following hind limbs ischemia reperfusion which may correlated with the increase in the level of NO .
