Teachers'quality is an essential factor to improve teaching,and nowadays,lack of medical English teachers has become a serious problem many medical colleges have to deal with in our country. While designing the cours "eMedical English Watching,Listening and Speaking" ,English teachers,relying on their advantages of oral communication in English,can learn more basic medical theories and knowledge,and can gradually be trained as qualified medical English teachers after several years'teaching practice.

Human DAB2 interaction protein (DAB2IP) is a novel member of Ras GTPase-activating protein family. It interacts directly with disabled-2 protein (DAB2/DOC2) which suppresses growth of cancers derived from different tissues, including mammary, prostate and ovarian cancers. DAB2IP was identified as an immediate downstream effector mediated by DAB2/DOC2. DAB2IP and DAB2/DOC2 form a unique protein complex that has a negative regulatory effect on the Ras-mediated signal pathway. It is demonstrated that DAB2IP is a tumor suppressor gene inactivated by methylation in several cancers. This article reviews the structure and biological functions of DAB2IP gene as well as its potential roles in carcinogenesis and evolution.

Objective To investigate the effects of occupational therapy based on International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) on activities of daily living of patients with hemiplegia after stroke. Methods From May to November, 2013, 60 patients with hemiplegia after stroke were randomly divided into observation group (n=30) and control group (n=30). Both groups received routine treatment, while the control group received routine occupational therapy and the observation group received occupational therapy based on ICF. They were assessed with modified Barthel Index before and 40 days after treatment. Results The scores of items of MBI improved after treatment in both groups (t>14.86, P<0.001), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (t>18.65, P<0.001). Conclusion The occupational therapy based on ICF can further improve the activities of daily living of patients with hemiplegia after stroke.

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase,Akt,and the mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR)signaling pathway is shown to play a key role in the tumorigenesis,proliferation,metastasis,apoptosis,and angiogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)by regulating gene expression.The components and functions of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway are briefly described,and the research advances in the action mechanism of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in the progression of HCC and related inhibitors are reviewed.It is disclosed that blocking the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway may become a new therapy for HCC.

Abstract：Objective To investigate the detection methods of newly discovered leprosy cases in Hunan Province in 2013-2022, and analyze the trend of changes, and provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of leprosy. Methods The detailed information of newly diagnosed leprosy cases in Hunan Province from 2013 to 2022 was collected through the Leprosy Management Information System (LEPMIS), and the descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the detection methods of newly discovered leprosy cases. Results From 2013 to 2022, a total of 250 newly diagnosed leprosy cases were detected in Hunan Province, including 143 cases (57.20%) were found in outpatient clinics, 33 cases (13.20%) were found in clue investigations, 27 cases (10.80%) were notifiable-reported, 23 cases (9.20%) were self-reported, 11 cases (4.40%) were found in other ways (e.g., group survey), 9 cases (3.60%) were found in contact examinations, 2 cases (0.80%) were found in census, and 2 cases (0.80%) were found in epidemic point inspection. From 2013 to 2022, the number of cases detected in outpatient clinics showed an upward trend (rs=0.515), while the cases detected in clue investigation (rs=-0.873), notifiable-reported (rs=-0.127), self-reported (rs=-0.301), contact examination (rs=-0.363), census (rs=-0.701) and epidemic point inspection (rs=-0.701) showed a downward trend. The majority of leprosy cases with different demography characteristics and clinical characteristics were found through outpatient clinics, except that the majority of leprosy cases in children were found by contact examination (66.76%). Of 165 male cases, 92 cases (55.76%) were found in outpatient clinics and 51 out of 85 female cases (60.00%) were found in outpatient clinics. Among age groups, 113 out of 187 cases aged 15 to 60 (60.43%) and 30 out of 60 cases aged over 60 (50.00%) were found in outpatient clinics. Among patients with differentoccupations, 112 out of 208 cases of farmers (53.85%) and 31 out of 42 cases of other occupations (73.81%) were found inoutpatient clinics. Among cases with different types of leprosy, 111 out of 185 cases of multibacillary leprosy (60.00%) and 32 out of 65 cases of paucibacillary leprosy (49.23%) were found in outpatient clinics. Among cases with different numbers of skin lesions, 4 out of 8 cases of skin lesion-free leprosy (50.00%), 3 out of 9 cases of single skin lesion leprosy (33.33%), and 136 out of 233 cases of multiple skin lesions leprosy (58.37%) were found in outpatient clinics. Of 72 cases without nerve damage, 48 cases (66.67%) were found in outpatient clinics. Of 27 cases with single nerve damage, 17 cases (62.96%) were found in outpatient clinics. Of 151 cases with multiple nerve damage, 78 cases (51.66%) were found in outpatient clinics. Among patients with different levels of malformation, 58 out of 102 cases with no malformation (56.86%), 28 out of 45 cases with Grade malformation (62.22%), 35 out of 68 cases with Grade Ⅱmalformation (51.47%), and 22 out of 35 cases with other types of malformation (62.86%) were found in outpatient clinics. Conclusions Outpatient clinics is the main way to detect newlydiagnosed leprosy cases under the low prevalence of leprosy in Hunan Province, and it is an important strategy to move the early detection of leprosy cases to comprehensive medical institutions in the future.

BACKGROUND: The question whether patellar replacement is necessary during total knee arthroplasty remains controversial. The influence of different parameters, such as patellar thickness, bone bed shape, fixation column style and fixation patterns on effect of total knee arthroplasty remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To induce the technical parameters in patellar replacement. METHODS: A computer-based line seerch of CNKI and Pubmend was performed for articles published between January 1999 and June 2009 with key words "artificial knee joint, petellar replacement" in Chinese and "artificial knee joint, arthroplasty, patellar surfacing" in English. Clinical studies of patients undergoing patellar replacement or not dudng total knee arthroplasty were included. Animal experiments were excluded. The indication and complication of patellar replacement, issues regarding patellar replacement, influence of petellar thickness reservation on artificial knee arthroplasty, prosthesis design of patellar and influence of internal fixation pattems on postoperative effect, and influence of replacement techniques on artificial knee joint were discussed in this article. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Currently, patellar replacement is considered to have three patterns: total replacement, no replacement and selective replacement. The shape of patella remains controversial. Bone cement is commonly used for patellar prosthesis fixation. The pdnciples of patellar replacement are as follows: to maximize patellar thickness; to maintain articular facet symmetry; to protect patellar blood transport; to ensure reasonable motion track of the patella. The indications of patellar replacement depend on protopathy, pathological change degree, prosthesis pattern, patient activity amount and body mass.
