The internal medicine of paediatrics is the important major course in paediatrics. Focusing on strengthening the constructionof staff, we cultivate all levels of teachers from different administrative level and personality, do schorlarly research meticulously,standardizing management and improve the teaching evaluation system. Besides we promote the construction and development of theinternal medicine of paediatrics by carrying out teaching research, impsoving teaching methods and making paediatics the key subjectin China.

Pediatric surgery is the important part of the paediatrics,and the complicated content,limited time and many difficulties are the main problems of pediatric surgery teaching. The multimedia courseware is used in teaching of pediatric surgery,which is convenient for teachers'preparing lessons and teaching and is beneficial to students'review and summary. After the technique is used,the teaching efficiency and the quality are obviously improved.

Multimedia is a widely-used teaching means in contemporary medical education.Establishing and improving the multimedia teaching material library is a strong guarantee for the smooth implementation of multimedia.The causes,significance and methods for establishment of pediatric surgery teaching multimedia material library according to the characteristics of pediatric surgery teaching are described in this article,with a view to provide a reference to other relevant professional institutions.

Minimally invasive neurosurgery techniques developing by leaps and bounds in the past few years,which is to be a great challenge for the clinical teaching of neurosurgery.Based on their own actual,neurosurgery department of the Children's hospital of Chongqing medical university enriched the teaching contents,improved teaching methods and trained microsurgical techniques for doctors at various levels,meanwhile,it strengthened participants'sterile awareness,set good team spirit,developed individualized assessment standards and achieved good results.

Problem-based learning (PBL) teaching method combined with formative evalua-tion was used in the teaching practice of pediatrics education. This method was implemented by four phases: courses designing, group-preparing, problems-organizing and teaching practice. The method was evaluated by students' feedback and survey results of patients, teachers and teaching councilors. It was showed that the teaching effects of PBL combined with formative evaluation was better than tra-ditional teaching method in pediatrics teaching.

This study primarily explored and discussed‘generality and individuality’mode in clinical teaching of congenital heart disease(Congenital heart disease,CHD)from the aspects of teaching methods,comparison with traditional method,requirements for teachers and problems existed under present conditions.At last the paper summarized advantages and disadvantages of this model in clinical teaching of CHD and offered a new approach for clinical teaching of cardiology.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Codonopsis pilosula polysaccharide （CPP） regulating the nuclear factor- erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） signaling pathway on gastric mucosal injury in rats with chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG）. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into control group， model group， CPP low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （CPP 10， 20， 40 mg/kg）， and ML385 group （Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 30 mg/kg+CPP 40 mg/kg）， 10 rats per group. CAG rat model was established using N-methyl-N′- nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine combined with irregular diet， then they were given drugs for consecutive 6 weeks. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes in gastric tissue morphology； the levels of serum gastrin （GAS）， motilin （MTL）， pepsin （PP）， as well as tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-8 （IL-8） malondialdehyde （MDA） and superoxide dismutase （SOD） in gastric mucosal tissue were detected； TUNEL assay was used to observe gastric mucosal tissue cell apoptosis； immunohistochemical assay was adopted to observe the expressions of Nrf2 and recombinant Bcl2 associated X protein （Bax） in gastric mucosal tissue； Western blot was used to detect the expressions of Nrf2， HO-1， Bax and Bcl-2 proteins in gastric mucosal tissue. RESULTS Compared with the control group， the gastric mucosal tissue was damaged； the levels of GAS， MTL， PP and SOD， and the protein expressions of Nrf2， HO-1 and Bcl-2 were significantly reduced in model group （P＜0.05）， while the levels of MDA， TNF-α and IL-8， the cell apoptosis index， and the protein expression of Bax were significantly increased （P＜0.05）. Compared with model group， CPP low-dose， medium-dose and high- dose groups showed varying degrees of improvement in gastric mucosal histopathology； the levels of the quantitative indicators were significantly reversed （P＜0.05）. Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 significantly attenuated the improvement effect of high-dose CPP on the above indicators in CAG rats （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS CPP can improve gastric mucosal injury in CAG rats， and inhibit oxidative stress， inflammatory response， and cell apoptosis. The mechanism of action may be related to the activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the association between selenium levels and diabetes in an older population with life-long natural exposure to selenium in rural China. A total of 1856 subjects aged 65 years or older from four Chinese rural counties with different environmental selenium levels were evaluated. Analysis of covariance models and logistic regression models were used to examine the relationship between nail selenium levels and serum glucose, serum insulin, insulin resistance [using the Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR)], and the risk of diabetes. The mean nail selenium level was 0.461 μg/g and the prevalence rate of diabetes was 8.3% in this population. The mean nail selenium level was significantly higher in the group with diabetes than in the group without diabetes (P<0.0001). The adjusted odds ratios for diabetes were 2.65 (95% CI: 1.48 to 4.73), 2.47 (95% CI: 1.37 to 4.45), and 3.30 (95% CI: 1.85 to 5.88) from the second selenium quartile to the fourth quartile, respectively, compared with the first quartile group. The mean serum glucose and HOMA-IR in the higher selenium quartile groups were significantly higher than those of the lowest quartile group. However, no significant differences in insulin were observed among the four quartile groups. A long-term, higher level of exposure to selenium may be associated with a higher risk of diabetes. Future studies are needed to elucidate the association between selenium and insulin resistance.
