Objective To explore the effect classroom teaching quality evaluation on the improve-ment of teaching quality. Methods In-service teachers offering classes to undergraduates majoring in clinical medicine during the period of 2010 to 2011 in Tangshan Clinical Hospital of Hebei Medical University were enrolled as research objectives. Totally 128 teachers(majored in 16 disciplines), screened out from the enrolled teachers, met the criteria and passed through the evaluation in terms of class quality of lessons. They were arranged in descending order and the top 15%were grouped as the preeminent group while the 15%at the bottom were classified as standard group and the rest 70%as good group. Descriptive analysis was made to appraise results from four respects:major and discipline, records of formal school-ing, professional ranks and titles and length of teaching experience. Results Based on the analysis of teaching situation in major disciplines, the top 3 disciplines possessing the largest proportion of preemi-nent teachers were neurology ( 50%) , otolaryngology-head and neck surgery ( 40%) and surgery (20.6%). When it comes to the analysis of formal schooling records of teachers , there is no distinct dis-crepancy in rate of standard reaching between teachers with postgraduate degree and teachers with gradu-ate degree. However, rate of standard reaching was slightly higher in teachers with other degrees than teaching with undergraduate degree or above. In the analysis of professional ranks and titles, the proportion was 94.6%in teachers with senior professional title(associated senior professional title and senior profes-sional title) and the teachers with medium grade professional title only occupied a proportion of 5.4%. In the dimension of teaching years, rate of outstanding and good teachers was relatively high in teachers with 8 teaching years and teacher with less than 3 teaching years, whereas the outstanding rate was low and rate of standard reaching was high in teachers with the 3-4 teaching years. Conclusions Measures to enhance the quality of teaching can be found out according to the analysis of influencing factors of teaching quality evaluation.

Objective To study the effect of Chinese herbs on human scalp hair growth in vitro. Methods Organ culture of human scalp hair follicles was used to study the effects of extracts of Crataegus cuneata, Ligustrum lucidum, Polyporus umbelatus and Bletilla striata mixture and ginseng saponin on hair growth. Results Low doses of mixture extracts(1.28 ?g/mL and 6.4 ?g/mL) markedly enhanced the hair growth and lengthened the period of hair growth, while high doses of mixture extracts(4 mg/mL and 20 mg/mL) sharply inhibited hair growth and shortened the period of hair growth. High doses of ginseng saponin (40 ?g/mL and 200 ?g/mL) also had an inhibiting effect on hair growth. Conclusion This observation suggests that extracts of Crataegus cuneata, Ligustrum lucidum, Polyporus umbelatus and Bletilla striata mixture can promote hair growth in vitro.

Objective To study biologic effect of high radon exposure in non-uranium miners by measurements of serum levels of 1L-2, IL-6 and TNF-u and study on their gene polymorphism. Methods Serum levels of IL-2, IL-6 and TNF-αin the miners selected from a Yunnan-based copper mine were measured by ABC-ELISA. TNF-α (-308,G→A) genotypes were identified by RFLP-PCR, IL-2 (-330, T→G) genotypes by sequence analysis. Results Compared the miners with its control group, there were no statistical significance of the concentrations of serum IL-2 (F=0.71, P>0.05), IL-6 (F=1.09, P>0.05) and TNF-α(F=0.95,P>0.05). Frequencies of IL-2 (-330, T→G) genotypes (X2=0.02, P>0.05) and TNF-α(-308, G→A) genotype (x2= 2.21, P>0.05) were shown no statistical significance too. Conclusions Compared with the control group, concentrations of serum IL-2, IL-6 and TNF-n in miners working in the copper mine was lower, frequencies of genotypes of TNF-o (-308,A/A) was higher in the miners. But all the differences were not statistical significant.

Objective:To investigate the levels of dose to eye lens of interventional radiology workers in China from 2017 to 2019.Methods:The monitoring data on eye lens doses to the interventional radiology workers in 28 provinces across the country were collected from National Individual Dose Registry. Monitoring was carried out using TLDs on their left eyes and evaluated in terms of the personal dose equivalent Hp(3). By using Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test, statistical analyses were made of the average annual lens doses to interventional radiology workers in the hospitals of different types at different levels for different years. Results:From 2017 to 2019, the data on eye lens doses to 2 981 interventional radiology workers were collected, with doses ranging from below the minimum detectable level (MDL) to 64.48 mSv, the average annual eye dose of 1.38 mSv, and the annual doses incurred by 0.97% monitored workers exceeding the recently recommended dose limits, 20 mSv per year. The average annual lens dose monitored in general hospitals and in cancer hospitals were 1.33 and 1.77 mSv, respectively, without statistically significant difference ( P>0.05). The average annual lens dose in tertiary hospitals was 1.39 mSv, significantly higher than that in secondary hospitals where the value was 1.16 mSv ( Z=2.894, P<0.05). Conclusions:The estimated annual eye lens doses to the interventional radiology workers during 2017-2019 were in accordance with the current national standard GB 18871-2002, but with a few exceptions exceeding the current international standards. This means that there exists, to a certain degree, a potential risk for the eye lens in this work category to exceed the international limits. It is suggested to continue in effort to enhance the monitoring of eye lens dose for these workers and to increase risk awareness, and take effective protective measures so as to lower the level of eye lens doses.
