Lab 1 Assessment - Researching a Topic
In the lab I showed you how to find the PubMed reference database and search it using a topic word. Lab 1 assessment will be for you to use this to find a research reference on "fertilization" and write a brief summary of the main finding of the paper.
  1. Add a new Sub-heading "Lab 1 Assessment" (without the quotes).
  2. Search the database for a reference on "fertilisation" published in the last 5 years.
    1. It must be a research article not a Review.
    2. The full paper must be available online, not just the abstract.
  3. Add a link to this reference using its PMID using this code <pubmed>XXXXX</pubmed> replacing the Xs with just the PMID number (no text).
  4. Under the reference write a short summary of the papers main findings.
    1. Only 1-2 paragraphs.
    2. Must not be a copy of the paper abstract.
  5. Save and you are done.

Lab 2 Assessment - Uploading an Image
  1. Upload a research image using the guide information below. The image uploaded for your individual assessment can relate to your project or from fertilisation to week 3 of development (upload only a single image).
  2. Add that image to your own individual page (see Images) including an image title and its reference link.
  3. No two students should upload the same image, check new images before you upload.
  4. No student can delete an image once uploaded, please contact me by email with the image address and I will delete (with no penalty, just glad to help out).


2016 Group Project Topic - Signaling in Development

OK you are now in a group

  1. Go to the blank group page and add a topic that interests you along with your student signature.
  2. No two groups can do the same topic, but at this stage the final topic has not yet been decided (next week).

Initially the topic can be as specific or as broad as you want.

Lab 4 Assessment - GIT Quiz

ANAT2341 Quiz Example | Category:Quiz | ANAT2341 Student 2015 Quiz Questions |

Design 4 quiz questions based upon gastrointestinal tract. Add the quiz to your own page under Lab 4 assessment and provide a sub-sub-heading on the topic of the quiz.

An example is shown below (open this page in view code or edit mode). Note that it is not just how you ask the question, but also how you explain the correct answer.

Lab 5 Assessment - Course Review
Complete the course review questionnaire and add the fact you have completed to your student page.
Lab 6 Assessment - Cleft Lip and Palate
  1. Identify a known genetic mutation that is associated with cleft lip or palate.
  2. Identify a recent research article on this gene.
  3. How does this mutation affect developmental signalling in normal development.
Lab 7 Assessment - Muscular Dystrophy
  1. What is/are the dystrophin mutation(s)?
  2. What is the function of dystrophin?
  3. What other tissues/organs are affected by this disorder?
  4. What therapies exist for DMD?
  5. What animal models are available for muscular dystrophy?
Lab 8 Assessment - Quiz
A brief quiz was held in the practical class on urogenital development.
Lab 9 Assessment - Peer Assessment
  • This will form part of your individual assessment for the course.
  • Each student should now look at each of the other Group projects in the class.
  • Next prepare a critical assessment (should include both positive and negative issues) of each project using the project group assessment criteria.
  • This assessment should be pasted without signature on the top of the specific project's discussion page. (minimum length 3-5 paragraphs/project)
  • This critical assessment should also be pasted on your own student page.
  • Each student should therefore have 5 separate reports pasted on their own page for this assessment item.
  • Length, quality and accuracy of your reports will be part of the overall mark for this assessment.
    • there will be a greater loading on this than simple question assessments.
Lab 10 Assessment - Stem Cells
As part of the assessment for this course, you will give a 15 minutes journal club presentation in Lab 10. For this you will in your current student group discuss a recent (published after 2011) original research article (not a review!) on stem cell biology or technology.

Group Mark Assessor General Comments

Group 1: 15/20

Group 2: 19/20

Group 3: 20/20

Group 4: 19/20

Group 5: 16/20

Group 6: 16/20

The students put great effort in their presentation and we heard a nice variety of studies in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine today. The interaction after the presentation was great.

As general feedback I would like to advise students to:

  • Never discuss M&M as a separate section in journal clubs. I gave this advice prior to the lab, but still most groups did talk through the M&M section.
  • Do not use your slides as cheat sheets, avoid text on slides, know what messages you need to get across, use images to illustrate these
  • Engage with your slides. Talk through them. Point at panels. Gauge your audience’s understanding by making eye contact with them
  • Avoid using abbreviations. Most people do not readily understand these and will lose track
Lab 11 Assessment - Heart Development
Read the following recent review article on heart repair and from the reference list identify a cited research article and write a brief summary of the paper's main findings. Then describe how the original research result was used in the review article.

Lab 1 Assessment

<pubmed>27413417</pubmed>

Albumins are a type of water soluble protein primarily found in blood which also have a purpose in inducing the artificial capacitation of sperm. Capacitation is a process of the maturation of sperm occuring in the female reproductive tract in which the acrosomal head is distabilized to allow a greater degree of binding with sperm and oocyte. Other cellular changes such as the formation of ROS and protein phosphorylation of Tyrosine residues also occurs. This paper aims to measure the extent of capacitation of sperm via different serums through tests such as ROS Level Measurement, Sperm Mmotion Analysis, a Hemizona Assay, Acrosome Reaction Evaluation, Western Blot Analysis of Tyrosine Phosphorylation and Sperm DNA Damage Assessment. These values obtained via each test were then subjected to statistical analysis via Wilcoxon signed-rank test which determines whether population means differ between samples. 30 samples of semen were obtained from male specimens, each sample split up into 4 portions and subsequently cultured by 4 different preparation media; HTS, HTP, QFS and QTP respectively which used differing levels of SSS (Serum Substitute Supplement) and SPS (Quinns Advantage Serum Protein Substitute) which are both known spermatozoa capacitating agents. It was found that the Serum Supplements induced semen capacitation at varying levels, primarily influenced by ROS levels in preparation media and secondarily by the combination of Serum Supplements and Media used.

Mark Hill 18 August 2016 - You have added the citation correctly and written a good brief summary of the article findings. There is quite a bit of current research looking at what effects success rates in these clinical techniques. I would point out that this is not a high quality journal 4.49 (good 20 to 50), try and look at these journals. Assessment 5/5

Lab 4 Assessment

1 The incidence of Gastroschisis is:

1.66/10,000
1.66/1,000
1.66/100
1.66/10

2 There are three distinct portions of the GIT by the end of week 4.

TRUE.
FALSE.

3 The Gastrointestinal Tract does not function until after birth.

TRUE.
FALSE.

4 Intestinal Aganglionosis is a condition where:

There are bands crossing the duodenum causing obstruction.
There is improper closure and absorption of the vitelline duct during development
There is an absence of the ENS within the GIT.
There is a narrowing of the lumen of the GIT.


Mark Hill 13 October 2016 - These seem quiz questions that could have been better designed to test developmental knowledge. Question 1 could be guessed and is just testing how accurately they remember the statistic, would have been better to use different numbers. Question 4 acronyms should not be used in quizzes, particularly if not spelt out in the question. Assessment 4.5/5

Lab Work

Lab 7

Estimated prevalence of Duchenne is 1 in 7250 for males aged 5-24. Non-hispanic blacks had a lower prevalence of Duchenne Muscular dystrophy as compared to Hispanics and Nnon-Hisapnic whites. http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/musculardystrophy/data.html

DMD is diagnosed through DNA tests searching for deletions, duplications and point mutations, a muscular biopsy is more conclusive than the DNA testing itself. In DMD, there is a lack of the protein dystrophin which leads to muscle deterioration and breakdown. An animal model used is the MDX mouse which has missing functional dystrophin protein in the muscle Dystrophin connects the cytoskeleton of the muscle fibre to extracellular matrix through the cell membrane.
