The application of TBL to medical ethics education improved student performance and increased student engagement and satisfaction. The TBL method should be considered for broader application in medical education.

The potential benefits or the tissue-damaging effects of inflammatory response after central nervous system injuries have long been disputed. Recent studies have noted that substance P (SP), a neuropeptide, plays an important role in the wound-healing process by recruiting bone marrow stem cells to the injured tissue. In this study, we examined whether SP can enhance recovery from spinal cord injury (SCI) in Sprague-Dawley rats through its known function of stem cell mobilization and/or through

Approach to learning was associated with performance on a high-stakes CPX.

Peer-assisted learning encourages students to participate more actively in the dissection process and promotes thoughtful dissection. We implemented peer-assisted dissection in 2012 and compared its effects on students' self-assessments of learning and their academic achievement with those of faculty-led dissection. All subjects performed dissections after a lecture about upper-limb gross anatomy. Experimental group (n = 134) dissected a cadaver while guided by peer tutors who had prepared for t

Previously, we have reported that substance P (SP) enhanced functional recovery from spinal cord injury (SCI) possibly by the anti-inflammatory modulation associated with the induction of M2-type macrophages at the injured lesion. In this study, we explored the cytokine expression profiles and apoptotic cell death in the lesion site of the SCI after an immediate intravenous injection of SP. SP injection increased the levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, and IL-10 at day 1 after the SCI approxim

Introduction. The purpose of this study is to compare characteristics and features of user-supplied tags and search query terms for images on the Flickr Website in terms of categories of pictorial meanings and level of term specificity. Method. This study focuses on comparisons between tags and search queries using Shatford's categorization schemes and the level of specificity based on the basic level theory. Analysis. Frequency distributions and chi-squared analyses were performed on the data.

As a way of understanding the image needs of users, researchers in the image retrieval field have investigated contextual factors affecting image needs and search behaviours. In terms of both general users’ groups and non-domain-specific collections on the web, the purpose of this study is to investigate how image needs are interwoven with intended uses which are in varying degrees of image use purposes. Thus, the image-seeking questions posted in a social Q&A service were analysed for their

Programmed assembly: A unique supramolecular building block, a cyclic peptide facial amphiphile, predestined to self-assemble into a nanocapsule structure, has been developed (see figure). This general strategy will allow the easy construction of a variety of bioactive nanocapsules.

This study aims to identify the way researchers collaborate with other researchers in the course of the scientific research life cycle and provide information to the designers of e ‐ S cience and e ‐ R esearch implementations. On the basis of in‐depth interviews with and on‐site observations of 24 scientists and a follow‐up focus group interview in the field of bioscience/nanoscience and technology in K orea, we examined scientific collaboration using the framework of the scientific research lif

This study was conducted to investigate student perceptions of tutors' group facilitation skills and to evaluate the difference in student perceptions of tutor performance according to the tutors' background in problem based learning (PBL).
