Objective To explore the traits of error-related negativity (ERN) in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) patients. Methods Thirty GAD patients and thirty normal controls were enrolled in this study. Use the Hamilton Anxiety Scale and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory to assess the severity of symptoms. Error-related negativity was elicited by the modified Eriksen Flanker task, recorded by Brain Products' EEG/ERP recording system,and the EEG signals were analyzed off line by Brain Analyzer software. Results There were no significant differences between two groups at age, gender composition, handedness and education (P > 0.05 ), the scores of HAMA, SAI and TAI were significantly higher in GAD group than NC group( t = 8.225, P < 0.001; t = 4.093, P <0.001; t = 6.742, P < 0.001 ) ,there were no significant difference in behavioral reactions between two groups (P >0.05) except for non-response rate(GAD:(15.29 ± 18.18)% ,NC:(7.23 ±7.99)%; t=2.184, P=0.035).The ERN amplitudes of GAD group were larger than these of NC group( FCz: GAD: ( -8.76 ±5.74) μV,NC:( -6.91 ± 3.07 )μV, F = 6.924, P = 0.012), yet the ERN latency did not show any significant group difference.There were no significant correlations between HAMA scores and ERN amplitudes/latencies. Conclusion The increased amplitudes of ERN possibly reflect the abnormally activated internal error monitoring process in GAD patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of clinical pathway-based teaching methods in clinical teaching of hematology. Methods Interns, which studied in department of hematology, were classified non-randomized into two groups. The interns in experimental group received idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) clinical pathway-based teaching. And the interns in the control group received the seventh edition textbook of medicine-based traditional teaching. All interns were oral tested when they finished two weeks period clinical studied of hematology. Meanwhile, a questionnaire designed for clinical pathway-based teaching was included in this test only for the experimental group. Results There were 32 interns recruited in the group of clinical pathway-based teaching and 38 interns in the control group of traditional teaching. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the fields of the key points about history of diseases ( = 0.0017), assessment of diagnostic criteria and differential diagnosis ( =0.0074), selection of laboratory examination items ( <0.0001) for ITP. The group of clinical pathway-based teaching achieved higher scores than the control group. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the field of selection of first-line treatment measure of ITP ( = 0.1155) . Moreover, the control group achieved higher scores than the group of clinical pathway-based teaching in the field of how to treat ITP patients with first-line treatment failure ( =0.0003) . In addition,there were 93.8%interns in the experimental group accepted the new clinical pathway-based teaching tool in the survey. The open-ended question survey showed the clinical pathway teaching method was more simple, intuitive and standardizing than the traditional one. Conclusion The ITP clinical pathway, as an interns teaching tool of hematology, is helpful for understanding more clearly the diagnosis and treatment of ITP. However, an in-depth explanation is necessary combination with textbook of medicine study in the clinical teaching of ITP.
