1.Research and Practice of Full-time Visitation Model in Clinical Medical Education
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2003;0(02):-
It is advocated on clinical medical education to let students contact clinical diagnosis and treatment earlier, visiting more patients and promoting the ratio of visitation and course. But as more and more students flood into university, clinical visitation has turned into a difficulty to improve students' ability. To resolve this problem, we have made some efficient practice and exploration.

The deficiency theories of dyslexia are quite contradictory and the cross-cultural studies in recent years mainly focused on whether the dyslexics among cultures shared the same cognitive profile or just based on the language. This study used Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) imaging to measure the regional cerebral blood volume (BV) and the changes of cerebral activation in the left prefrontal cortex of 12 Chinese dyslexic children and their 12 age-matched normal controls during the Paced Visual Serial Addition Test (PVSAT). Results showed that the scores of PVSAT of dyslexic children were significantly lower than those of the normal children (t=3.33, P<0.01). The activations of the left prefrontal cortex in the normal group were significantly greater than those of dyslexic children (all P<0.01). Our results indicated that Chinese dyslexia had a general deficiency in working memory and this may be caused by the abnormal metabolic activity of brain blood volume in the left prefrontal cortex and the deficits in brain function might be the basis of neuropathology of Chinese dyslexia. Present study supports the difference on brain activation of dyslexics from different languages may be caused by the same cognitive system related to reading.

Objective:To investigate the expression of microRNA (miR)-938, its effect on cell proliferation and its regulatory mechanism in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:HCC and paracancerous tissues were collected from 40 patients with HCC who underwent surgical resection in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from January 2015 to June 2019, including 25 males and 15 females, with an average age of 61.4 years. HepG2 cells in the miR-938 overexpression group were transfected with miR-938 mimics, and the negative control group was transfected with the negative control sequence. Cell proliferation was detected by kit, the expression of miR-938 and the succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit D (SDHD) was detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and SDHD protein expression was detected by Western blot. The target genes of miR-938 were verified by dual luciferase reporting.Results:The relative expression of miR-938 in HCC tissues was (0.060±0.002), which was higher than that in adjacent tissues (0.030±0.002), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The mRNA relative expression of SDHD in HCC tissues was (0.028±0.002), lower than that in adjacent tissues (0.062±0.002), and the protein expression of SDHD in HCC tissues was (0.963±0.008), lower than that in adjacent tissues (1.083±0.037), with statistical significance (both P<0.05). The proliferation activity of miR-938 overexpression group was significantly higher than that of negative control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). MiR-938 significantly inhibited the luciferase activity of SDHD wild-type 3’-untranslated regions. In the overexpression miR-938 cells, SDHD mRNA and protein levels were significantly lower than those in the negative control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:MiR-938 was highly expressed in HCC tissues. MiR-938 promoted the proliferation of HCC cells by inhibiting the expression of SDHD.

Objective:To explore the clinicopathologic features of 112 patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Methods:Da-ta from 112 MCL cases were collected, and immunohistochemical assay was conducted. A break in the CCND1 gene was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The t-test was used in the statistical analysis. Results:All tumor cells in the 112 cases ex-pressed B cell-related antigen, including 1 blastoid subtype and 1 polymorphic subtype. Among all the cases, 106 expressed CD5 and 104 expressed cyclinD1. A break in the CCND1 gene was not found in 3 cases with CD5-MCL. IgH/CCND1 polyploid was found in 2 classical cases. Conclusion:MCL is a type of special immunophenotypic B-cell lymphoma. The prognoses of blastoid and polymorphic subtypes are poor. Special subtypes should be classified during diagnosis.

Objective To explore the curative effect of modified closed negative pressure drainage on abnormal abdominal incision. Methods Sity-three patients with abnormal healing of abdominal incision in our hospital from January 2012 to June 2013 were selected as the observation group. Another 50 patients from January to December 2011 were assigned to the control group. The former was treated after debridement with human recombinant surface growth factor and modified closed negative pressure drainage,while the latter after debridement with anti-infection and dressings of ethacridine or gentamicinsolution as well as with infrared therapy. The two groups were compared in terms of the frequency,time and cost of changed dressings,and the healing time of the incisions.Results There was insignificant difference in the cost of changed dressings between the two groups(P>0.05). However,the differences were statistically significant in terms of the frequency and time of changed dressings and the healing time of the incisions(P<0.05). The observation group was significantly superior to the control group.Conclusions Modified closed negative pressure drainage is effective in accelerating the healing in abnormal abdominal incisions,reducing the frequency and the time of changed dressings,and easing the economic burdens of the patients,which is suggested to be popularized and applicable in the pimary hospitals.
