Cadaver donation has far-reaching social significance, but currently it cannot satisfy the practical need. Through making stochastic visits to part of dwellers in Chongqing urban districts, to find out the main obstacles to cadaver donation. Then compared to the similar activities like blood donation, we learn about the experiences of such public service activities to get further improvement of cadaver donation.

Objective This study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of fast track surgery (FTS) with conventional perioperative management in colonl cancer patients undergoing radical resection.Methods From May 2011 to May 2013,66 patients with colorectal cancer were randomly assigned to FTS group and control group.Outcomes were assessed by length of postoperative hospital stay,medical cost,nutritional status,gut function,and postoperative complication.Results FTS group was associated with a significantly shorter postoperative hospital stay,lessmedical cost,earlier first passage of flatus,less loss of body weight in the postoperative period compared with control group,and there were no differences in morbidity or mortality between two groups.Conclusion The radical resection under the guidence of fast track rehabilitation is safe and effective method.Significantly reduce patients' perioparative stess response and accelerate the recovery.

It is extremely necessary and important for colleges or universities to transform the education concepts that barricade students' initiative and creativity, especially the one that takes fi-nal examinations as sole standard to evaluate teaching and learning effects. In order to display and cultivate students' study ability more comprehensively, we manage to establish a set of formative eval-uation system for regional anatomy course , which involves tests and examinations and evaluations throughout the whole teaching and learning process. It solves the long-lasting problem that examina-tions are final purposes of teaching and learning, and thus, teaching values not only results but also learning process, which directs students' attention to conventional studies and helps develop good study habits, greatly reducing the randomness of final academic performances. The diverse assessment methods, along with accumulated assessment results, can improve students' learning effects through-out the whole semester. The fundamental purpose of this system is to inspire students' passion for study and creativity and monitor the teaching process.
