Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2016;15(9):960-964
Objective To evaluate the effect of progressive problem-based learning (PBL) in teach-ing of neurology and study its impact factors. Methods A total of 110 5-year undergraduate students were randomly divided into LBL and progressive PBL groups, with 55 students in each group. Both groups ac-cepted basic knowledge, clinical skills, case analysis and document retrieval teaching. Progressive PBL were given by three steps including introduction phase, transition phase and PBL stage. At the end of the internship, theoretical knowledg,practical skill scores and questionnaires were used to evaluate the effects of different teaching methods. Pearsonχ2 test was used to analyze the effects of gender, urban-rural character, mastery of relevant based knowledge and intra-group contribution on examination results of progressive PBL. Results Theoretical knowledge score of progressive PBL group was significantly lower than LBL group [(78.49 ±3.15) vs. (81.94 ±5.37), t=-4.11, P=0.000], while clinical skill score [(86.34 ±9.16) vs. (80.96±7.85), t=1.63, P=0.003] and clinical analysis score [(82.25±5.17) vs. (70.54±3.85), t=13.47, P=
0.000] of progressive PBL group were significantly higher than LBL group. Teaching satisfaction scales of learning interest ( χ2=7.21, P=0.007), self-learning ability ( χ2=6.70, P=0.010), knowledge use ability ( χ2=7.92, P=0.005), analytical thinking ability (χ2=4.36, P=0.037) and expression ability (χ2=9.17, P=0.003) in progressive PBL group were significantly higher than LBL group. Gender( χ2=0.0109,P=0.917) and urban-rural character (χ2=0.045, P=0.831) showed no significant impact on examination results of progressive PBL. While relevant based knowledge (χ2=6.82, P=0.009) and intra-group contribution (χ2=4.91, P=0.027) showed significant impact on examination results of progressive PBL. Conclusion Progressive PBL can improve the clinical skill and case analysis ability of students. Relevant based knowledge and intra-group contribution have significant impact on the effect of progressive PBL.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupoint application plus massotherapy for scapulohumeral periarthritis (periarthritis of shoulder). Method One hundred and two patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 51 cases each. The treatment group received acupoint application plus massotherapy and the control group, massotherapy. Both groups were treated for three courses. The VAS score and the Neer shoulder function score were recorded in the two groups before and after treatment. Result The VAS score and the Neer shoulder function score improved in the two groups after treatment compared with before (P<0.05) and improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Clinically acupoint application plus massotherapy has a satisfactory therapeutic effect on scapulohumeral periarthritis with a certain effect on pains in the affected shoulder.

Objective To compare the effect and compliance of Rifampicin by vein and oral in treating pulmonary tuberculosis in elderly patients who were primary treated and had positive sputum. Methods A total of 100 first-time smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients were randomly divided into two groups, the treatment group and the control group,with 50 cases in each group. During the observation enhancement period,patients of the treatment group were given HZE added rifampin inoculation fluid and HEZ plus rifampin capsules for the control group.The indicators were recorded, such as:the rate of digestive discomfort, liver digfunction ,symptom improvement, sputum smear negative conversion at the end of the second month and chest X-ray improvement. Results In therapy group and control group,the rate of digestive discomfort was 14% and 82% respectively,P <0. 05 ;the rate of liver disfunction at the first weekend was 16% and 12% respectively(P > 0. 05 ) ;The rate of liver disfunction at the second weekend was 36% and 30% respectively(P >0. 05) ;The rate of the symptom improvement was 96% and 70% respectively ( P < 0. 05 ) ;The rate of improvement remarkably in chest film was 80% and 32% respectively( P < 0. 05 ) ;The rate of sputum smear negative conversion at the end of the second month was 52% and 34% ,P >0. 05 ;the rate of.sputum smear negative conversion at the end of the sixth month was 96% and 82% (P < 0. 05 ) ;The rate of chemotherapy formula changed during the therapy was 14% and 82% ( P < 0. 05). Conclusion The Rifampicin was used by vein in elderly PTB that primary treated and got positive sputum could get better effect indexes,less side effect in digestive tract,similar liver disfunction and fine compliance to the standardized chemotherapy formula.

Objective To investigate the effect of acupuncture at point Neiguan on mouse myocardial hypertrophy.Methods Thirty-sixty healthy C57BL6 mice were randomized into blank, model and treatment groups, 12 rats each. In the treatment group, an acupuncture needle was inserted into point Neiguan and retained for 15 min, once daily. After nine days of treatment, the ratios of cardiac weight/tibial length were compared between the groups. Left ventricular myocardial tissues were processed by Masson trichrome staining in every group of mice. The differences in myocardial fiber arrangement and collagen fiber distribution between the groups were observed under the ordinary optical microscope in 100 times of field of vision. Sarcomere structure, myofibril arrangement, collagen fibers and mitochondria in injured myocardial tissues were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Results Heart rate increased significantly in the model group and decreased significantly in the acupuncture group compared with the blank group. Cardiac weight and the ratios of cardiac weight/tibial length increased significantly in the model and acupuncture groups compared with the blank group (P<0.01) and decreased significantly in the acupuncture group compared with the model group (P<0.01). In the model group, myocardial tissues had compensatory hypertrophy with incontinuous status, and myocardial transverse striations had severe disorder/disruption, karyopyknosis appeared and cytoplasmic eosinophilic change became obvious in few of the rats. The results were better in the acupuncture group than in the model group. In the model group, part of myofibrils had focal fusion, interstitial collagen fibers proliferated and mitochondria had swelling and compensatory increase. The results were also better in the acupuncture group than in the model group.Conclusions Acupuncture at point Neiguan can reduce the production of collagen fibers and mitochondria, improve the arrangement of sarcomere structure and delay the progression of myocardial hypertrophy.

Objective To investigate the multidrug-resistance reversal action and mechanism of dihydroartemisin (DHA) on human colon cancer cell line HCT8/ADR. Methods The cytotoxicity of dihydroartemisin combined with doxorubicin(DOX) was determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay and cell apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry. Western blot assay was used to measure the autophagy. Results The combined treatment with dihydroartemisin and doxorubicin significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity in HCT8/ADR cells and effectively increased the apoptotic level. Autophagy was also induced by the combined treatment , which maybe played a crucial role in the regulation of doxorubicin-sensitization of HCT8/ADR cells. Conclusion The results indicated that dihydroartemisin can reverse multidrug resistance through increasing the doxorubicin-sensitivity of HCT8/ADR cells.
