Objective To explore the teaching effects of paper presentation in physiology. Methods 179 undergraduate students were selected from Jining Medical College as the research object and divided into the experiment group using the teaching method of paper presentation,and control group using the traditional lecture based learning teaching methods. At the end of the curriculum, an examination and a questionnaire were used to evaluate the teaching effects of students in the two groups. Results The performance of the students in the experiment group was statistically better than the control group (P＜0.05,P＜0.01)in terms of learning capacity and reasoning logic and capacity to solve problems. Conclusions In the physiology teaching, the paper presentation method is superior to the traditional method.

Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) play a key role in the initiation and neoangiogenesis of liver regeneration. We presume that the abnormity of the VEGF/VEGFR2 and its pathway gene Id1, Wnt2 and HGF expression in aged LSECs may be an important mechanism to affect liver regeneration of the elderly. LSECs from two different groups (adult and old) were isolated in a rodent model, and observed by SEM and TEM. The adult and old rats were underwent 70% partial hepatectomy. The proliferation of hepatocytes and LSECs were analyzed by Immunofluorescence staining. The expression of VEGF/VEGFR2 and its pathway gene in isolated LSECs and liver tissue after hepatectomy were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. There is a decreased number of endothelial fenestrae in the LSECs of the old group, compared to the adult group. The old group had a lower expression of VEGF/VEGFR2 and its pathway gene than the adult groups (p < 0.01). The results of western blot were consistent with those of qRT-PCR. The hepatocytes had a high proliferation rate at first 4 days after hepatectomy, and a significantly higher proliferation rate in the adult group. The LSECs began to proliferate after 4 days of hepatectomy, and showed a quantity advantage in the adult group. The adult group had a significantly higher expression of VEGF/VEGFR2 and its pathway gene after hepatectomy than the old group (p < 0.01). LSCEs turn to be defenestration in structure and have a low expression of VEGF/VEGFR2 and its pathway gene with aging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The rapid development of the flexible electronics industry places higher demands on the performance of flexible ferroelectric memories. In practical work, environmental factors such as high temperature, radiation and humidity may also affect the lifetime of flexible devices besides electric field and bending stress. In this paper, Hf0.6Zr0.4O2 (HZO) ferroelectric thin film with excellent ferroelectric properties and high reliability was prepared on flexible mica substrate by atomic layer deposition (ALD). More importantly, the flexible HZO ferroelectric films maintain superior ferroelectricity, retention and fatigue endurance under multiple harsh conditions. On the basis of multi-service conditions, this work marks an important step in the development of new flexible HfO2-based ferroelectric memories from fundamental research to practical applications.

The ethanolic extract of the stems of Viburnum fordiae Hance showed insecticidal and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities and then was fractionated by bioactivity-guided fractionation to obtain a rare C13-norisoprenoid (1), together with a new phenolic glycoside (2), and seven known compounds, alangionoside C (3), pisumionoside (4), koaburaside (5), 3,5-dimethoxy-benzyl alcohol 4-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (6), 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl-β-d-glucopyranoside (7), arbutin (8), and salidroside (9). The previously undescribed compounds were elucidated as (3R,9R)-3-hydroxy-7,8-didehydro-β-ionyl 9-O-α-d-arabinopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-d-glucopyranoside (1) and 2-(4-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl)syringylpropane-1,3-diol (2) by spectroscopic data (1H and 13C NMR, HSQC, HMBC, 1H-1H COSY, HSQC-TOCSY, HRESIMS, IR and ORD) and chemical methods. Compound 1 showed potent insecticidal effect against Mythimna separata with LD50 value of 140 μg g−1. Compounds 2, 5, 6, 8 and 9 showed varying α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging from 148.2 to 230.9 μM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
