Objective:To evaluate a Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials ( RCTs) in multiple sclerosis ( MS) patients to evaluate the efficacy of vitamin D as add-on therapy. Methods: Searched Pubmed,EMbase,the Cochrane Library,CNKI,Wanfang Data base and so on up to february 2016 using the keywords:multiple sclerosis or MS and the drug names:vitamin D orCholecalciferol. Two authors independently selected the articles and extracted the data. We performed meta-analysis using Review Manager ( RevMan) version 5. 3 software. Results:Four RCTs with a total of 247 patients were selected.①Compared to the placebo, the EDSS score[MD=-0. 33,95% Confidence interval (CI)= (0. 68,0. 01),P=0. 05],the annual relapse rate[MD=-0. 08, 95%CI=(-0.37,0.21),P=0.60]and the number of gadolinium-enhancing lesions[MD=-0.16,95%CI=(-0.57,0.25),P=0. 45] showed no significant difference at 12 months,meanwhile the EDSS score[MD=-0. 48,95%CI=(0. 87,-0. 09),P=0. 02] and the annual relapse rate[MD=-0. 27,95%CI=(-0. 52,-0. 02),P=0. 03] were significantly less in the vitamin D group at 24 months.②Safety evaluation:There was no hypercalcaemia in vitamin D treated patients in each studies,main adverse events reported were diarrhoea, fever, constipation, dyspepsia, headache and so on. These symptoms were mild, after stopping drug can relieve the general. Conclusion: Vitamin D as an added in the treatment of MS showed as same as the placebo in some clinical indicators. However,after a longer treatment, the clinical indicators were significantly lower in the vitamin D group. Due to limited quantity and quality of the included studies,further larger and more prolonged studies are merited to verify the above conclusion.

Objective To discuss the accuracy and objectivity of student standardized patients (SSP) in objective structured clinical examination(OSCE). Methods On March 30 and 31, 2013, 168 seven-year program medical students of class 2006 and 2007 took part in OSCE. Differences in as-sessment results between SPP and those given by professional doctors at 3 SP sites(angina pectoris SSP station, acute cholecystitis SSP station, depression SSP station) were analyzed. Each site had 4 items for assessment, with a total score of 100. Scores were given in strict accordance with a set of unified scoring rules. Counting data were presented as x±s. Data were verified using t test. P<0.05 was considered statis-tically considerable. Results At angina pectoris station, respective scores of SSP and professional physi-cians were 85.2±7.1 and 85.5±6.6, P=0.688. At acute cholecystitis station, respective score of SSP and professional physicians were 89.1±5.2 and 88.2±6.2, P=0.150. At depression station, respec-tive score of SSP and professional physicians were 79.8±7.5 and 78.2±7.0, P=0.078. Conclusion There is no statistical difference between scores given by SSP and those given by the physicians in OSCE. This proves that SSP who received standardized training delivers fair and accurate results in OSCE , and therefore is recommended for future application.

The holding of the national college students' clinical skills competition reflects the importance of medical education for clinical practice training . Although through intensive itemized skills drills, the competitors can complete each individual operation with satisfaction, due to the lack of clinical experience, in the integrated circuit training, they will easily stray into question stemtrap. The concrete analysis of the national college students' clinical skills contest competition reflects the medical students' insufficient recognition of clinical skills, lack of the overall concept of the intensive medical treatment, not flexible and insufficient mastery of the connotation of the clinical skills, which seriously restricts the improvement of clinical education. Therefore this article raises special sugges-tions, referring to training focusing on “Airway and Circulation”, developing the critical care thinking based on the relationship of multi-organ and improving the first-aid capability of the team work, so as to provide reference for the improvement of training effect.

Objective To investigate the effects of prescription of nourishing blood and stretching of stoke (PNBSS) on the levels of TXB2 and 6-Keto-PGF1αin serum of patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease (AICD);To discuss its action mechanism in AICD treatment. Methods Ninety patients with AICD were randomly divided into trial group and control group, 45 cases in each group. The control group received western routine treatment, while the trail group received the western routine treatment plus PNBSS, one dose per day, for one week. Rating scale of neurologic deficit was employed to evaluate treatment effectiveness. Venous blood was collected before the treatment and on the 3rd and 7th days of treatment. Levels of TXB2 and 6-Keto-PGF1αin serum were detected respectively. Results The score of neurologic deficit of post-treatment in two groups apparently decreased compared with baseline (P<0.01), and score of neurologic deficit in trial group on 7th day was lower than that of control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate in trial group was 93.3%, which was apparently higher than that of control group (84.4%). The level of TXB2 in serum and ratio of TXB2/6-Keto-PGF1α (T/P) in two groups on 3rd and 7th days remarkably decreased compared with baseline (P<0.01), while the level of 6-Keto-PGF1α in two groups on 3rd and 7th days was higher than that of baseline (P<0.01). Meanwhile, the level of TXB2 and ratio of T/P in two groups on 7th day were apparently lower than that of 3rd day (P<0.01), and the level of 6-Keto-PGF1αon 7th day was higher than that of 3rd day (P<0.01). The level of TXB2 in serum and ratio of T/P on 3rd and 7th days in trial group were apparently lower than that of control group (P<0.01, P<0.05), while the level of 6-Keto-PGF1α on 3rd and 7th days in trial group was apparently higher than that of control group (P<0.01, P<0.05). Conclusion One of the mechanisms of PNBSS for AICD appears to inhibit overavtivity of thrombocyte, and regulate the misadjustment of ratio of T/P.

As the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases year by year, the number of patients with CKD is increasing year by year before or during pregnancy. Pregnancy management is increasingly important for patients with kidney disease, and women with CKD face a number of challenges during pregnancy, such as the risk of kidney disease progression, fetal growth restriction, the potential teratogenicity of medications, and an increased risk of complications such as preeclampsia and preterm birth. In order to ensure a good outcome for pregnant women and the fetus, it is necessary for multidisciplinary physicians in the department of nephrology, obstetrics, reproductive health and other departments to assess the risk of pregnancy in patients with CKD in a standardized manner, adjust medication in a timely manner, and closely monitor to detect maternal and fetal complications early, stabilize the patient′s condition, and determine the safest time for pregnancy and delivery.

"Early clinical practice, multiple clinical practice and repeated clinical practice" is the mainstream of the reform of higher medical education in the 21st century. Based on the shortages of the current medical education model, a university started to reform from both theoretical teaching and practical teaching, and constructed a teaching model of "early clinical practice, multiple clinical practice and repeated clinical practice" that fits China's reality. And the teaching effect was evaluated questionnaire survey and OSCE tests. The results showed that this teaching model could promote the all-round development of medical students' knowledge, ability and quality.

Objective To investigate the levels of trace elements in preschool children in Guangzhou and their relationships with nutritional status, and to provide a scientific basis for guiding children's nutritional diet and timely and reasonable supplementation of trace elements. Methods A cross-sectional study was used to perform physical examinations and collect blood samples from 5 002 children who were examined in the Department of Pediatric Health of a Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Guangzhou in 2018. The levels of trace elements including iron, zinc and copper were detected by atomic absorption spectrometer. Results The median (upper and lower quartile) levels of iron, zinc and copper for preschool children in a district of Guangzhou were 7.80 (7.39, 8.19) mmol / L, 69.0 (61.0, 76.5) μmol / L, 18.6 (15.9, 21.4) μmol / L. There was no significant difference in the levels of iron, zinc and copper between different genders (P>0.05). The levels of iron and zinc increased significantly with the age of children (P=0.000). There was no significant difference in the level of copper in different ages (P>0.05). The prevalence rates of iron, zinc and copper deficiency in preschool children were 14.93%, 21.93% and 0.24%, respectively, and there was no significant difference between different genders (P>0.05).There were no significant differences in the prevalence of iron and copper deficiency in different ages (P>0.05), while the zinc deficiency rate decreased with the age of children (P = 0.000). (P<0.05). The levels of iron and zinc in overweight children, and those suffering from malnutrition,and obesity were lower than those in normal children. There was no statistically significant difference in the levels of copper in children with different nutritional status (P>0.05). The prevalence rates of iron and zinc deficiency in children with malnutrition, overweight and obesity were higher than those in normal children. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of copper deficiency in children with different nutritional status (P>0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of iron, zinc deficiency is high in preschool children in Guangzhou. Preschool children with malnutrition, overweight and obesity are more prone to iron and zinc deficiency.
