Objective To compare the results of emergency clinical training for medical students and to put forward some suggestions.Methods Toatlly 207 medical students of Grade 4 studied in the first people' s hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong university from 2009 to 2011 were divided into the traditional group (n =90 ) and the experimental group (n =117 ).The students in the experimental group participated in emergency clinical training in summer vacation while those in the traditional group did not.Questionnaires about their self-learning ability,clinical communicating ability and critical thinking ability after training the were conducted and the data were analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis.Results One hundred and five effective questionnaires were recovered from the experimental group,with the recovery rate 89.7％ and 62 effective questionnaires were recovered from the traditional group,with the recovery rate 68.9％.The scores about clinical communicating ability and critical thinking ability of the experimental group were significantly highcr than those of the traditional group [ (79.45 ± 9.354)vs.(75.87 ± 9.926),(263.38 ± 30.925 ) vs.(251.36 ± 23.679),P ＜ 0.05 ].However,there was no significant difference in scores about self-learning ability between the two groups [ ( 153.97 ± 23.725 ) vs.( 149.83 ± 13.891 ),P ＞ 0.05].Conclusion Emergency clinical training is helpful to improve medical students' clinical communicating ability and critical thinking ability.It is worth popularizing.

ObjectiveTo analyze the results of implementing the tutorial system for medical interns, and to put forward some suggestions. MethodsThe medical interns and the doetors selected as tutors were asked to do questionnaires to study the tutorial system's feasibility and effectiveness. Simultaneously, we adopted the Objective Structured Clinical Examination ( OSCE ) to assess its process and resuits. Results74.3％ of the students and 75.5％ of the doctors think that they need the tutorial system,73.2％of the students think that this system can train better clinical skills,67.9％ of the doetors think that they can review the knowledge learned through teaching. Implemented after one year, students' OSCE scores are improved. ConclusionTutorial system for medical interns has achieved preliminary success, and the preparatory work and related-system building need to be further improved.

Objective To investigate the expression of lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1)on peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)from patients with SLE and its relation to the occurrence and development of SLE.Methods PBMCS were obtained from 30 patients with SLE and 24 normal human controls.Atier labeled with anti-CD3-FITC and anti-CD11 a-PE,PBMCS were detected for the expression of CD11a by flow cytometric analysis.Results The positivity rate of CD11a was significantly higher in patients with SLE and those with active SLE than in the normal controls (73.74%±7.89%and 77.11%±7.46%vs 68.21%±4.58%.both P＜0.05).Furthermore,increased positivity rate of CD11a was observed in patients with active SLE compared with those with stable SLE (77.11%±7.46%vs 69.33%±6.27%,P＜0.05).but there was no significant difieFence between the latter group and normal controls(P＞0.05).In addition.the expression level of CD11a was positively correlated with SLE disease activity index (r=0.64,P＜0.0 1)in patients.Conclusion The overexpression of LFA-1 may take part in the occurrence of SLE and correlate with the activity of SLE.

In this study,we observed that PGE2 3?10-7~3?10-6 mol/L & nifedipine 1 ?10-5mol/L inhibited lymphocyte proliferation markedly.The effect of nifedipine was completely reversible, however the effects of PGE2(3 ?10-6mol/L)was only partly reversible .In combination of PGE2(3?10-8mol/L) with nifedipine (1 ?10-6mol/L) ,the effect was additive,no significant antagonism and synergism were observed .PGE26? 10-6mol/L and nifedipine 1?10-3 mol/L directly inhibited maerbphage migration but no significant effect on PHA-induced MIF .Preincuba-tation with nefidipine did not influonce macrophage phagocytosis, but PGE2 slightly enhanced it. The results stated above strongly suggests that PGE2 may regulate cells interaction and Ca2+ is required during lymphocyte proliferation.

Objective To treat a group of patients with port wine stains (PWS) using a variable pulse width (VPW) frequency doubled Nd:YAG 532nm with high energy long pulse green (HELP G) laser and to evaluate the clinical efficacy, side effects and different histological changes between VPW and HELP G. Methods Thirty two patients with PWS were treated in order to study the clinical improvement by transforming from 11～16 J/cm 2 at 3 mm spot size (VPW,7～10 ms) gradually to 16～24 J/cm 2 at 4～5 mm spot size (HELP G,15～50 ms). Two patients were biopsied before and after the laser treatment.Results After treatment of 1～8 times(3.19 average), very good results were achieved in 7 PWS, and excellent results were achieved in 15 PWS.Improvement was found in 68.75 % of the patients.Conclusion VPW with HELP G laser at 532 nm appears to be an effective treatment for PWS.

Objective To screen single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)of DNA methyltransferase 1 gene in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).and to investigate the significance of abnormal expression of DNA methyltransferase in the pathogenesis of SLE.Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)were obtained from 11 patients with SLE and 12 normal human controls.DNA was extracted from the PBMCs.and PCR was performed to amplify some exons(1 to 7)and corresponding introns followed by direct sequencing.Results There was a 21397T/C SNP in the intron 7 between exon 7 and exon 8 of DNA methyltransferase 1 gene in patients with SLE.The frequency of CC homozygote increased in patients with SLE compared with that in normal controls(5/11 vs 1/12,X~2=4.10,P＜0.05).Conclusions There is a 21397T/C SNP in DNA methyltransferase 1 gene in patients with SLE.which may be a component of genetic background underlying the abnormal expression Of DNA methyltransferase 1.

Objective To compare the influence of different end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane on transcranial electrical four-limb muscle motor evoked potential (MEP) monitoring. Methods Twenty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱpatients aged 23-62 years undergoing craniotomy were enrolled. Triangular muscle, biceps brachii muscle, triceps brachii muscle, brachioradialis muscle, extensor digitorum communis muscle, abductor pollicis brevis abductor digiti minimi muscle, rectus femoris muscle, tibialis anterior muscle, gastrocnemius muscle and abductor hallucis were selected for MEPs recording. Sevoflurane was introduced at 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 and then 1.3 MAC (15 min each), and the effects on MEPs were studied. Results ①Maximum MEP amplitude was observed at abductor pollicis brevis muscle in upper limb and abductor hallucis muscle in lower limb at baseline and 0.5 MAC. Up to 1.0 MAC, there was no significant difference in MEP amplitude among extensor digitorum communis muscle, abductor pollicis brevis and abductor digiti minimi muscle. ②The success rate of MEP recording from abductor pollicis brevis muscle and abductor hallucis muscle was 100% during the administration of 0.5-1.0 MAC sevoflurane. ③The MEP amplitude was decreased and the latency was increased in a sevoflurane dose-dependent manner. Conclusions Abductor pollicis brevis muscle and abductor hallucis muscle were suitable for MEP monitoring during the administration of 0.5-1.0 MAC sevoflurane.

Lymph nodes (LN)are the main parts of the esophageal cancer metastasis,and the current status of LN is the important indicator of prognosis.LN metastasis appears in early stage of esophageal cancer.One side,LN metastasis easily appears in the regions near the tumor and some special areas.On the other side,LN metastasis has the characteristics of wide metastasis and skip metastasis.Therefore,the researches of the pattern of esophageal cancer lymph node metastasis can help to comform the scope of the esophageal cancer lymph node dissection and the target regions of radiotherapy.

Attention to the training of research ability for undergraduate students is the development trend of medical education.Peking University Health Science Center (PUHSC),has made the top design of such research ability training system including courses,lectures,lab practice,publications and various research projects,as well as the atmosphere of scientific research.The training program achieved good results.In the future,PUHSC will further update new concept of teaching,and improve the teacher's training and incentive mechanism.
