in a hydrothermal route devoted for synthesis of ca10(po4)6(oh)2 (ha) nanostructures, morphology can be controlled by experimental condition to form magical ha or nanostructured nanoparticles. in an intermediate condition, a novel nanostructure namely rose-like bundle of ha rod-likes was found, which is different from known ha nanostructures. the chemical synthesis of nanopowders under hydrothe...

background: chitosan nanoparticles have become of great interest for nanomedicine, biomedical engineering and development of new therapeutic drug release systems with improved bioavailability, increased specificity and sensitivity, and reduced pharmacological toxicity. the aim of the present study is to synthesis and optimization of chitosan nanoparticles for industrial and biomedical applicati...

High quality education programs are essential for preparing the next generation of Chinese medicine (CM) practitioners. Currently, training in CM occurs within differing health and education policy contexts. There has been little analysis of the factors influencing the form and status of CM education in different regions. Such a task is important for understanding how CM is evolving internation...

Theoretical and methodological advances in the cognitive and learning sciences can greatly inform curriculum and instruction in biomedicine and also educational programs in biomedical informatics. It does so by addressing issues such as the processes related to comprehension of medical information, clinical problem-solving and decision-making, and the role of technology. This paper reviews thes...

Biomedical education is currently faced with a number of significant challenges, including the explosion of information and the need to train researchers who can work across traditional disciplinary boundaries. We propose a new integrated model for graduate education in the life sciences that addresses these issues.
