This study was aimed to observe the effect of Softening Liver and Reducing Enzyme Mixed Agent (SLREXA) in the prevention of acute liver injury rats induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). A total of 60 male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, which were the SLREXA low-, middle-, high-dose group, glucurolactone group, normal group and model group. Intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 was used to induce acute liver injury rat mod-el. Intragastric administration of SLREXA was given to each Chinese medicine group. Intragastric administration of distilled water was given to the normal group and the model group. Intragastric administration of glucurolactone aque-ous solution was given to the glucurolactone group. On the 12th day of the experiment, after 16-hour fasting, rats were killed. Pathological changes in liver tissues were examined. Blood serum was determined for alanine aminotrans-ferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). The liver homogenate was determined for superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver tis-sues of rats. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression level of mRNA in liver heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). The re-sults showed that in the microscopic examination of liver tissues, compared with the model group, different doses of SLREXA can alleviate pathological damages of liver in varying degrees. Levels of blood serum ALT and AST content in different doses of SLREXA groups and glucurolactone group were significantly lower than those of the model group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, contents of GSH-Px, GSH, SOD, CAT in the liver ho-mogenate were significantly increased, and MDA content was decreased significantly (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01) in differ-ent doses of SLREXA groups and glucurolactone group; compared with the model group, the HO-1 mRNA relative expression quantity in the normal group and each treatment group increased obviously, with statistical significance (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01). It was concluded that SLREXA can prevent CCl4-induced liver injury rats with definite thera-peutic effect.

Objective To explore the relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype and outcome of HBV infection. Methods PCR amplification of HBV small S gene in combination with a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was applied to identify HBV genotype in the serum samples of 80 asymptomatic HBV carriers (AsC group) and 120 liver cirrhosis patients with HBV infection (LC group) in Gangdong province of China. Results The frequency of HBV genotypes B, C and D in AsC group was 45% (37/80), 33.75%(26/80) and 21.25%(17/80)respectively, and that of HBV genotypes B, C and D in LC group was 32.5%(39/120), 65.8%(79/120) and 1.6%(2/120) respectively. There is no HBV genotypes A, E and F in this series. The distribution of HBV genotypes in the two groups was not significant correlation with the state of HBeAg. There was a significant difference in the distribution of HBV genotypes between the two groups (P

ObjectiveTo evaluate the theoretical knowledge level of Chinese students majoring in stomatology based on the problem-based learning (PBL).MethodsThe Cochrane reviewer's handbook was followed by.Domestic published articles from 1989 -2010 were selected by computer and handwork.All these retrieved studies were controlled clinical trials related to oral theoretical education and were conducted by PBL and the traditional teaching methods.The quality of included studies was critically evaluated and the data were analyzed by the RevMan 5.0.1 software.ResultsA total of 138 articles were selected,but only 8 were included.Significant differences were found when the data were pooled(P ＜ 0.01,I2 =80％ ) and random effect model was used for meta-analysis.The results showed that comparing with the traditional teaching methods,PBL can improve the theoretical score of dental students [ MD 5.39,95％ CI(2.20,8.58)],and sensitivity analysis showed that the result was stable.ConclusionPBL can improve the theoretical score of Chinese students majoring in stomatology.However,as part of the studies are not high quality literature,the above conclusion needs to be verified by more large sample-sized,rigorously designed randomized controlled clinical trials.

Objective:To understand and compare the online learning effect of students majoring in stomatology and dental technology under the background of COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control, and to analyze the advantages and challenges of online teaching, so as to provide reference for the reform of teaching mode of stomatology education.Methods:A questionnaire survey on online learning was carried out among 267 students majoring in stomatology and 92 students majoring in dental technology in Chongqing Medical University. The results were statistically analyzed by SPSS 21.0, and chi-square test or rank sum test was used to count the data.Results:Computers and mobile phones are the main tools for students to study online. 52.92% of students used computers and 38.72% used smart phones. About 80% of the students said that they could adapt to online learning, and there was no statistical difference between the students of two majors. The online learning time of students majoring in stomatology was mainly 4-6 hours, while that of students majoring in dental technology was 2-4 hours, with statistical significance. However, the latter were more likely to ask questions to teachers than the former, and the proportion of students who often asked questions to teachers was 29.35% and 20.60%, respectively, with statistical significance. A small number of students of both majors failed log on the platform to learn and complete all the teaching materials on time. More than 50% of the students thought that online teaching was not as effective as offline teaching, and offline teaching was more conducive to mastering curriculum knowledge, without statistical differences between the students of two majors. They thought that the unsmooth learning platform, poor network conditions at home, and insufficient teaching materials prepared by teachers were the main reasons that affected the online learning effect.Conclusion:The online teaching is an important and also an advisable way to maintain teaching activities during the epidemic prevention and control of COVID-19. It will be the direction of further research on the education and teaching reform to make full use of information technology, combine the advantages of online teaching and traditional classroom teaching, and actively explore the blended teaching mode from the perspective of specialty and course characteristics.

To cultivate innovative medical students is the inevitable trend to adapt to the social de-velopment in the higher medical education. Stomatology is a subject emphasizing on practical and innovation ability, so paying attention to the cultivation of students' application ability and innovation ability in the undergraduate stage, combining theoretical study and research innovation, can lay a good foundation for the study and work. In recent years, the College of Stomatology of Chongqing Medical University has created the scientific research atmosphere, established the platform of scientific research, attempted the undergraduate tutorial system, expanded the construction of teaching resource, and involved undergraduate to take part in the scientific research practice. The college has taken many active measures to train the scientific innovation ability of undergraduates, and has obtained good results. Some undergraduates have already possessed a certain ability to find and solve problems as well as independently think. They have also enhanced their awareness of reading literature and critically accepting knowledge and improved their comprehensive quality.

Methods The clinical data of 15 patients with massive cerebral infarction who underwent modified decompressive craniectomy in combination with encephaloduroarteriomyosynangiosis were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical efficacy was assessed according to the mortality, Barthel Index and modified Rankin scale. Results All the patients were followed up, and 12 patients survived 3 months after operation, of those, 4 had a good functional outcome; 11 patients survived 6 month after operation, of those, 7 had a good functional outcome. Conclusions The modified decompressive craniectomy in combination with indirect revascularization for the treatment of massive cerebral infarction could effectively treat massive cerebral infarction and increase the survival rate and life quality of patients, however, the surgical timing, surgical indications and surgical skills are needed to master accurately.

Objective:To explore the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) on the improvement of clinical competence of stomatology undergraduates, and to promote their ability and skills of taking the National Medical Licensing Examination (NMLE).Methods:The OSCE was implemented to evaluate the clinical skills of stomatology undergraduates from Batch 2009 to Batch 2012. The OSCE results were analyzed and compared with the NMLE (Stomatology) results on the correlation coefficient analysis of annual passing rate.Results:The passing rate of practical skills in the NMLE (Stomatology) of Batch 2009 to Batch 2012 stomatology undergraduates was basically consistent with the excellent rate of OSCE, and the correlation coefficient was 0.94.Conclusion:It has not been proved that the OSCE assessment organized by our school can increase the passing rate of practical skills in the NMLE, but it has certainly helped students better understand and apply theoretical knowledge, and it plays a positive role in promoting students' future development.

Objective: To explore the feasibility with the safety at peri-operative and early post-operative periods for left atrial appendage occlusion in patients with non-valvular atrial ifbrillation (AF).
Methods: A total of 17 non-valvular AF patients with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and CAHDS2 evaluation who received left atrial appendage occlusion in our hospital were summarized. The effect and complications during peri-operative and 1 month post-operative periods were analyzed.
Results: All 17 patients had successful operation without severe complications. There were 8 patients having small amount residual shunt by TEE examination, 2 having ecchymosis near the puncture point at peri-operative period and 3 having small amount of hydropericardium by peri-cardio ultrasound examination. At the average of 45 days follow-up study, only 3 patients had small amount residual shunt, no left atrium thrombus and hydropericardium were observed.
Conclusion: Left atrial appendage occlusion has the high success rate, it is safe during peri-operative and early post-operative periods in non-valvular AF patients.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical effect of rotary self-locking intramedullary nail (RSIN) and intramedullary interlocking nail (IIN) for the treatment of fresh femoral shaft fracture.

METHODSThe radiological records of 60 fresh femoral shaft fractures (41 stable fractures and 19 unstable fractures) were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 49 were male and 11 were female. The average age was 33.5 years old (range from 12 to 68 years old). All cases were fresh fracture with no important blood vessel or nerve injury, which were taken operation with RSIN on IIN respectively in 2 h-7 d after injury. The patients in IIN group began functional movements at postoperative 4 to 5 days and could bear the weight of 10-15 kg. The patients in RSIN group could began functional exercises after the wound healed and bear partly weight after 6 weeks. Both groups were contrasted on the biomechanics, operation procedure, fracture healing time, functional recovery and operative indication.

RESULTSBoth groups were followed-up for average 13 months. IIN group: the average healing time of closed femur fracture was 16 weeks while that of open fracture was 20 weeks. The healing rate was 100% and the malunion rate was 7.9%. The excellent and good rate of functional recovery was 93.3% including excellent in 27 cases, good in 1, fair in 1 and bad in 1. RSIN group: the average healing time of closed femur fracture was 16 weeks while open fracture was 23 weeks. The healing rate was 87% and the malunion rate was 18.2%. The excellent and good rate of functional recovery was 83.3% including excellent in 23 cases, good in 2, fair in 3 and bad in 2. No implant break and nonunion happened. The differences between two groups in healing time, deformity-union rate and the rate of the twice operation were statistically significant.

CONCLUSIONIIN provides a reliable and practical alternative method for the treatment of all kinds of femoral shaft fracture and its important complication is fewer than RSIN group. RSIN also has a good curative effect in its own indication.
