The teaching of biomedical sciences or also called basic medical programs at the Universities of Colombia, is the fundamental basis for the continued development of scientific reasoning and clinical professionals in future physicians, and therefore to the social and scientific the country. Therefore, the independent evaluation of internal quality by educational institutions is essential to achieve not only the acquisition of factual knowledge significantly, but also the ethical, aesthetic and humanistic students. Teaching and learning science involves Biomedical theoretical, methodological and research and a constant reflection on the pedagogical practice, which involves interdisciplinary, basic clinical integration, and by extension the teaching and application of new Information and Communication Technology (ICT). In this paper, presents a qualitative learning experience based on Clinical Case Method (MdC), which was held in the section Bioclinic of the University El Bosque, and was structured with the use of TICS and which was based on a problem of impact of disease of public health for Colombia.

In animal multicellular organisms, epithelial cells are dynamic structures involves in a complex, exquisite and regulated series of physiological process, mainly those related to the absorption, catabolism and recycling of nutrients. These organisms are continually challenged by a variety of environmental hazards, and the first line of defence, protection and exchange interface, is provided by epithelial cells. This review aims to describe the current information about the epithelial machinery of absorption and transport that makes possible the right response to environmental challenges that is the MegaCUBAM complex

The Inter-alpha-inhibitor (IAI) is a complex blood protein that consists of a light chain ITIL (Interinhibitor light chain) called bikunin and two heavy chains ITIHs (Inter inhibitor heavy chains). The bikunin is a serpin (Serine-proteinase inhibitors) and ITIHs are possibly cistinins (Cistein-proteinase inhibitors). The ITIHs can be transferred from IAI to hyaluronic acid molecules and become covalently linked, forming complexes of hyaluronic acid-ITIHs in the extracellular matrix, required to guarantee the stability. In addition, IAI has anti-inflammatory activity. This review article considers the current information about IAI.
