WHO has issued three editions of pathologic classification of bladder urothelial carcinoma in 1973,1999 and 2004.The 1973 version classification had been widely and the longest applied.However,WHO 2004 classification had been prevalent in past years.There were two issues in the applications of WHO 2004 classification.On one hand,there were some difficulties in quick grading in a given case.On the other hand,there were some misunderstandings in the conversion of different WHO classification.In this article,the changes of different pathologic classification of bladder urothelial carcinoma were reviewed and the outline of different pathologic classification was generalized.The criterion of all the systems was cell anaplasia.In WHO 1973 version classification,the definition of the various grades was vague.It was relatively precise in WHO 1999 classification.However,the grading of Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ in WHO 1999 classification still remained confusions.The major changes in WHO 2004 classification was that this system divided urothelial carcinoma into low-and high-grade,which may solve the heterogenesis of grade Ⅱ in the other two classifications.

The reform in cultivating professional-degree programs in Clinical Medicine Education contributes to the transformation of training mode, which surpasses the connotative bounds of the inherent education management. The personalized training of students has made it more challenging for both the tutor and the faculty to involve in education management, the effectiveness of which is highly valued due to the pressing need for sound medical ethics. Furthermore, the development of information technology calls for the reform of education management as well as the emphasis of student-centered approach. This article summa-rizes the existing problems of current education management mode for master degree programs of profes-sional clinical medical education. In addition, a three-level management system composed of medical experts is brewed and put forth. This system, based on compensation and restraint, assessment and incentive, ser-vice as well as security, is meant to facilitate the training of application-oriented medical talents.

MicroRNA (miRNA) are a class of endogenous single -stranded non-coding RNA, which regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally by combining with the target mRNA and play a vital role in biological and pathological processes including the growth of organism , metabolic regulation, disease prediction and intervention.Thus miRNA detection is of considerable significance in disease diagnosis and the research of miRNA function.Because of the restriction factors about miRNA itself such as short sequence, low abundance and highly homologous , traditional methods for miRNA detection cannot meet the current demands due to the limitations like unsatisfactory sensitivity and complicated operation .This review summarizes the newly development about signal amplification -based methods for miRNA, including the advantages and limitations of all kinds of novel methods , and highlights the future trends as well.

Objective To assess the relationship between fat metabolic parameters and androgen concentration in the cord blood of newborns of mothers with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods This cross-sectional study included PCOS women (n=55) and neonatal, and 40 cases with matched body mass index (BMI) were used as control. The clinical data including height, body mass, waist circumference, hip circumference of PCOS group, and length and head circumference in newborns after delivery were measured and compared. Blood lipid level, serum insulin and testosterone level were detected using umbilical artery-vein mixed cord blood after delivery. Regression analysis was used to analyze the influence factors of neonatal cholesterol and testosterone levels. Results The neonatal birth weight, head circumference, cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride level were significantly lower, birth height and testosterone level were significantly higher, in PCOS group than those of control group (P<0.05). Values of waist to hip ratio, BMI, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and testosterone levels were significantly higher in PCOS group than those of control group (P<0.05). The insulin, cholesterol and triglyceride levels of PCOS mother were risk factors for neonatal cholesterol level(P < 0.05). The cholesterol, triglyceride and free testosterone levels of PCOS mother were risk factors for increased neonatal free testosterone (P < 0.05). Conclusion Mother with PCOS may affect fetal birth weight, head circumference and cord blood lipid metabolism, which may be related with the elevated level of testosterone during the fetal period.
