Education should include two parts:teaching and learning.Therefore,during the course of medical ehtics teaching,if we want to get better teaching effect,besides the factor of teachers,we must make the students get interest in the studying of medical ethics and arouse the students' initiative and enthusiasm of studying.This thesis would discuss that in the following respects:enhancing the students'initiative and enthusiasm of studying;teacher's deep love for education enterprise and for students;person of exemplary virtue,example is better than precept;performing elicitation teaching method of developing the student's initiative and strictly avoiding cramming method of teaching

Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of triple negative breast cancer patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 1042 primary breast cancer patients admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2003 to December 2009.All breast cancer patients were categorized into three subgroups by immunohistochemistry:ERBB2 +,HR +/ERBB2 - and triple negative. Results Of 1042 breast cancer patients recruited,183 patients were in triple negative group.The rate of larger tumors ( greater than 2 cm in diameter) and grade Ⅲ in triple negative patients was higher than that in ERBB2 + and HR +/ERBB2 - patients (P <0.01 ).The positive rate of p53 status in ERBB2 + patients was higher than that in triple negative and HR +/ERBB2- patients (P < 0.01 ).No significant differences were observed in other clinical variables.In survival analysis,more bone metastases were observed in HR +/ERBB2 - patients than in ERBB2 + and triple negative patients (P =0.006).However,no significant difference was observed in visceral metastases among the subgroups.There were significantly different recurrence-free survivals (RFS) among the three subgroups throughout the follow-up period ( P =0.029),the 5-year RFS of ERBB2 + was 80.3%,which was the worst in three groups. Conclusions Triple negative patients had higher rate of larger tumors (greater than 2 cm in diameter) and grade Ⅲ than that in ERBB2 + and HR +/ERBB2 - patients,while its 5-year RFS was higher than ERBB2 + patients.

Objective To detect the expressions of osteopontin (OPN) and inerleukin-18 in patients with bullous pemphigoid (BP),and to analyze their relationship with clinical and laboratory indices.Methods Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to quantify the serum levels of osteopontin (OPN) and inerleukin (IL)-18 in 30 patients with BP and 30 health controls.Results The serum level of OPN was statistically higher in the patients than in the healthy controls ((8.29 ± 2.76) vs.(3.88 ± 1.41 ) ng/ml,P < 0.01 ),and was positively correlated with the severity of BP (r =0.658,P < 0.01 ) and with some laboratory indices in the patients.Increased serum IL-18 level was observed in patients complicated by cardiovascular diseases compared with those without cardiovascular diseases ((37.49 ± 6.43) vs.(31.10 ± 5.40) pg/ml,P < 0.01).Moreover,the BP patients with diabetes,tumor,hepatic and renal impairment displayed an enhanced level of serum OPN and IL-18 than those without (all P < 0.05).Conclusions OPN may be positively correlated with the severity of BP,while IL-18 may be involved in the development of complications of BP.
