[How to cope with the demands of the new "Approbation Regulation" (AR) by radiology-related interdisciplinary courses. The Erlangen model].

BACKGROUND: To create radiology-related interdisciplinary programs for the undergraduate education in terms of the new "Approbation Regulation". MATERIAL AND METHODS: Medical students developed in collaboration with radiologists and clinical partners virtual, radiology-related interdisciplinary training courses for different fields. Students and teachers evaluated the acceptance of the programs' structure and content as well as the possibility to replace the radiologist partly during interdisciplinary lessons. RESULTS: Six target group oriented virtual, radiology-related interdisciplinary training courses were developed which will relieve the implementation of the new AR's demands for more interdisciplinary education in small groups and the dreaded shortage of personnel. CONCLUSION: By the use of web- and CDRom-based interdisciplinary course models different fields of medicine and diagnostic radiology can be bridged in the sense of the new AR's demands as well as manpower in radiology can be saved.

[HNORAD].

BACKGROUND: New media are gaining importance in undergraduate as well as postgraduate and continued medical education. We aimed to create an interactive educational program for imaging diseases of the ear, nose and throat (ENT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cases and images representing clinical routine were collected, arranged by content and graphically presented according to instructional criteria. Undergraduate students participating in the project used an authoring system to generate case studies, which were then published at http://www.HNORAD.de. RESULTS: HNORAD is an interdisciplinary teaching program offering more than 100 classical disease presentations. Three systematic indices offer a choice of instructional approach. Apart from typical images, the information presented includes patient history, clinical findings, imaging findings as described by a board-qualified radiologist, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and internet links. Elements of the radiologist's report are linked with the images in such a way that the structure or finding described can be interactively highlighted. An evaluation index allows proficiency testing in self study and as a part of taught courses. CONCLUSION: HNORAD is a valuable resource for students, ENT surgeons and radiologists at the undergraduate, postgraduate and CME level for self study as well as for course work.

The morphine-binding site on human activated T-cells is not related to the mu opioid receptor.

Mitogen activation of human T-lymphocytes induces a morphine-binding site. Morphine binding is displaceable by beta-endorphin (1--31) and (--)-naloxone but not DAMGO. This site is not stereoselective for (--)-morphine. T-lymphocytes, expressing this binding site, were assayed by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for expression of hMOR-1 mRNA. Several primer sets were used and each assay compared with cells known to express human or mouse MOR-1 mRNA. Neither hMOR-1 nor any homologous receptor was detected in human T-lymphocytes. Therefore, the morphine-binding site on mitogen-activated T-lymphocytes is unlikely to be closely related to hMOR-1.

Opiate binding sites in the cellular immune system: expression and regulation.

The direct actions of opiates on the mammalian immune system depend on the existence of ligand binding sites either on the surface of the affected cell or in the interior of the cell. With the cloning of various opiate receptors from neuronal tissue, numerous researchers have screened leukocyte cDNA libraries for the expression of these receptors with some positive results. However, the pattern of expression of neuronal opiate receptors in the cellular immune system does not completely explain the biological action of opiates there. Several possibilities could account for this non-congruence including differential expression of the receptors as determined by such factors as cell population or prior history of the cells; the existence of sequence modified versions of the neuronal receptors such that the amplification methods miss their presence; or the opiates act by a different, non-receptor mechanism in the cellular immune system.

The effects of teacher intrusion on social play interactions between children with autism and their nonhandicapped peers.

This study investigated the effects of two levels of teacher intrusion upon the behavior of elementary age children with autism and nonhandicapped peers during dyadic play interactions occurring in two special education classrooms. High versus low levels of teacher intrusion were contrasted in a mixed between- and within-subjects design counterbalanced for order across the two conditions. There were few differences in behavior across the two conditions, though the low-intrusion condition was associated with higher levels of toy contact, appropriate and inappropriate play, and lower levels of spontaneous verbalizations by the students with autism. There was no difference in the occurrence of excess behavior by condition. Results are discussed with respect to future investigations of effective teacher mediation to prepare children for positive peer interactions.
