Course construction is the central part in the teaching innovation and an important indicator of the quality of a school teaching. Based on the emphatic course construction ,the department of immunology has carried out practices from the educational philosophy,teaching content,teaching methods,teaching staff and other aspects of the courses in the construction of immunology,and has got better results.

Objective To explore the clinical signiifcance of combined detection of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxin (FT4) in dried blood spots in screening for congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in neonates. Methods The TSH and FT4 levels in dried blood spot were measured by time-resolved lfuorescence immunity in live born neonates from June to December 2013. If the screening was positive, the blood was drawn and the serum TSH and FT4 were measured and compared with the results from dried blood spots. Results In a total of 31 199 neonates screened, 12 cases were diagnosed with CH and the prevalence rate of CH was 1/2 600;4 cases were hyperthyropinemia and no pituitary CH was detected. There was no signiifcant difference between TSH or FT4 levels in dried blood spot and those in serum in neonates diagnosed with CH (P>0.05). Conclusions Combined detection of TSH and FT4 in dried blood spot can be used for neonatal screening of CH. It can be applied for early distinguishing CH from hyperthyropinemia, and also helpful for early diagnosis and treatment of central CH.

Objective To summarize surgical experience of eight patients with pentalogy of Cantrell. Methods Six male and two female patients with pentalogy of Cantrell,aged from 4 months to 26 years old, average 7.35 years old, underwent surgical therapy for intracardiac anomalies and extracardiac anomalies from July 2007 to June 2009. Eight case with intracardiac anomalies include one case with only VSD, one case with only ASD, two cases with DORV, four cases with VSD and ASD or PTO. Experts majoring in cardiovascular surgery cooperated with doctors majoring in thoracic surgery and general surgery for satisfactory correction of intracardiac anomalies and extracardiac anomalies and repositioning heart to thoracic cavity. Results Ectopic heart of the first patient was simply repositioned into thoracic cavity following surgery of double outlet of right ventricle in another hospital two years before. Correction of introcardiac anomaly and reposition of ectopic heart finished at one time in 7 cases. Eight patients got full recovery except that residual shunt occurred in the second case which also got full recovery after transcatheter therapy. Ventricular diverticulum was removed in the fourth case because of difficult reposition of ectopic heart.With the help of general surgeon and thoracic surgeon, partial coronary ligament of liver and falciform ligament of liver in the left was cut in the first case and the left half lobe of liver was pushed downward. Bilateral pleural and marginal costal costochondral was cut and make thoracic wall upward so that ectopic heart can reset into thoracic cavity. And then, defect of diaphragm and abdominal wall were repaired with Proceed patch. In the other seven cases, bilateral pericardium and mediastinal pleura was cut and the 7th and 8th cartilage was transected and bilateral costal arch was closed so for complete thoracic angioplasty.Left ventricular dysfunction occurred in the fifth case with DORV and also got full recovery after symptomatic treatment. Full recovery was got in all cases after followingup from 1 to 23 months. No adverse complications occurred and every case live a wonderful life. Conclusion Pentalogy of Cantrell can be cured at one time by accurate correction of cardiac anomalies, cutting of bilateral pleural and marginal costal costochondral to make thoracic wall upward and enlarge thoracic space for repositinning of ectopic heart and using artificial patch to repair defect of diaphragm when necessary.

Objectives To explore the characteristics of status and different populations of prehospital death associated with acute coronary events among young adults in Beijing.Methods Data of acute coronary events of hospitalization or death were obtained from the Hospital Discharge Information System from Beijing Public Health Information Center and Death Register System from Beijing Center for Disease Control in Beijing.The total case fatality rate of acute coronary events and proportion of prehospital coronary heart disease (CHD) death were compared upon gender,area,occupation and marital status among people aged between 25-45 years old.Results A total of 3489 cases were identified during 2007 to 2009 with acute coronary events ( male:3183,female:306),with a mean age of (40.5 ± 4.3 ) years old.The 3-years' overall mortality was 26.0％,with female's higher than male's (51.0％ vs 23.6 ％,P ＜ 0.05 ) ; and it was higher in rural area than in urban areas (28.9％ vs 22.9％,P ＜0.05).Ninety-five percent of death due to acute coronary events occurred prehospital,with the proportion of 95.2％ in male and 94.2％ in female. Among the people with different occupations, self-employed people had the highest rate of prehospital death.Majority of prehospital deaths (64.8％ ) occurred at home.Conclusion More than 90％ of deaths caused by acute coronary events among young adults aged between 25-45 years old occurred before been admitted into hospital,and the site of prehospital deaths was mainly at home.
