Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2013;(10):984-988
Objective To reform and assess the English curriculum for medical doctor-post-graduates based on the requirement analysis theory. Methods All of the medical doctor-postgradu-ates in grade 2012 of the Third Military Medical University were surveyed using questionnaires and face-to-face interviews on randomly chosen students,which collected information on the current Eng-lish skill levels,the requirements and the motivations of English learning,the satisfiable degree of English curriculum,and the outcomes of the curriculum reform. Statistical analysis methods were ap-plied in this study,especiallyχ22 test which was used to test the impact of current English levels on the requirements and motivations of English learning and the analysis results were applied to guide the curriculum reform and assessment. Results The questionnaires were handed out for twice,340 in total. Before and after the course setting,168 and 170 effective ones were got respectively. The first questionnaire showed the requirement of English learning wasn't influenced by the current English skill levels (P=0.329). That was to say 70.2%(118/168)of the surveyed students whether they were in level 4 or 6 all desired to improve English listening and speaking skills;and regard to English lear-ning motivations,publishing SCI papers,studying abroad,personal interest,or passing the course's exams accounted for 53.6%(90/168),24.4%(41/168),15.5%(26/168),6.5%(11/168)respec-tively,but relevant to their English levels (P=0.036). Regardless of their English levels,publishing SCI papers was the chief motivation of English learning. However,passing curriculum examinations as a motivation was more relevant to low-level students. The second survey also showed that 86.5%(147/170)students satisfied the setting of ‘listening and speaking’to ‘reading and writing’(2∶1) and 86 . 3%(145/168 )of students considered necessary to have a SCI dissertation writing course . However,once taking it,30.3%(44/145)out of the 86.3%(145/168)students expressed dissatisfac-tion to the course. In addition,about 48.8%(83/170)of students supported the tiered teaching model. Conclusions The requirement analysis technique is conducive to curriculum setting for medical doc-tor-postgraduates. However,the curriculum system needs to be optimized from the aspects of teaching methods,the tiered teaching model,and the teaching staff team. In particular,the cooperation be-tween English language teachers and medical major teachers should be strengthened in order to ap-proach an adequate and effective curriculum.

Objective:The clinicopathological features, diagnosis, and prognosis of follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) with distant me-tastasis as the first manifestation were evaluated in this study. Methods:A total of 129 FTC cases with clinical data were retrospective-ly analyzed in the Department of Pathology, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital (January 2001 to January 2016). Survival analysis and conjoint analysis on FTC with clinical data, diagnosis, and morphological characteristics with distant metastasis as the first manifestation were performed. Results:Among the 129 FTC cases, 24 cases demonstrated distant metastasis as the first mani-festation (18.6%). Bone metastasis was the most common (13.2%). The presence of mass and pain at the metastatic sites were the usu-al clinical complaints. The morphological characteristics of FTC with distant metastasis can be classified into four subtypes:microfollicu-lar (10 cases), solid (4 cases), normofollicular (9 cases), and macrofollicular (1 case). Immunostaining tests on thyroglobulin and thyroid transcription factor-1 showed positive results in FTC with metastasis. Survival analysis showed that the five-year survival rates in the 24 cases were 87.1%. The prognosis of patients with solitary metastasis was better than that of patients with multiple metastasis (P=0.022). A higher survival rate was found in the normofollicular and macrofollicular subtypes than that detected in the microfollicular and solid subtypes (P=0.012). Conclusion:FTC is susceptible to distant metastasis. Some patients with FTC demonstrated distant me-tastasis as the first manifestation, and their diagnosis can be confirmed by pathological feature analysis and immunostaining. The prog-nostic significance is possibly related to the number of lesions of FTC with distant metastasis and histopathological subtypes.
