Objective To analyze the ultrasonographic features of fetal palate in the second and third trimester. Methods Two-dimensional ultrasound was performed in 1 885 fetuses during 21 to 36 gestational weeks of pregnancy, including 1 023 cases in 2nd trimester and 862 cases in 3nd trimester. The normal fetal palate ultrasound images were conifrmed by postnatal examination. In the ultrasound examination, fetal palate coronary plane was scanned through submandibular region, oral ifssure and prootic region;longitudinal plane was scanned through oral ifssure. The detection rate of completely and continuously displayed fetal palate was calculated. Results In prenatal ultrasonography, the normal fetal hard palate was shown as a bright band and the normal soft palate as a hypoechoic band in coronary section through fetal submandibular region, oral ifssure and prootic region. The detection rate was 76%(777/1 023)in 2nd trimester group and 53%(458/862) in 3rd trimester group. The normal fetal palate was shown as continuous camber echogenic band in longitudinal plane through oral ifssure. The detection rate was 49%(501/1 023) in 2nd trimester group and 13%(113/862) in 3rd trimester group. The detection rate was 94%(961/1 023) in 2nd trimester group and 56%(483/862) in 3rd trimester group by the combination of two scanning approaches. Conclusions There is usually an obvious gap between mandible gristles in 2nd trimester fetus. Fetal palate is accessible regardless of fetal head position by coronary scanning through submandibular region, oral ifssure and prootic region and longitudinal scanning through oral ifssure. These planes could display fetal palate well, and might be useful in detecting isolated secondary cleft palate. But these scanning approaches and planes might not suitable for routine screening due to operator dependence.

This study was aimed to determine the solubility an d oil-water partition coefficient of main active com-ponents in Ge-Gen Qin-Lian (GGQL) Tablets (puerarin, baicalin and berberine hydrochloride) in phosphate buffer solution of different pH values and under the background of many components. Solubility of puerarin, baicalin and berberine hydrochloride in different medium pH, and oil-water partition coefficient of the octanol-water and oc-tanol-buffer system were determined by HPLC method. The results showed that the solubility and oil-water partition coefficient of puerarin, baicalin and berberine hydrochloride were varied with the change of pH, and varied under the background of components. At pH 7.4, the solubility was the biggest;puerarin was 7.56 mg·mL-1;baicalin was 17.07 mg·mL-1; berberine hydrochloride was 3.57 mg·mL-1. Oil-water partition coefficient P of these components at pH 1.0 was bigger;puerarin was 0.420 (lgP=-0.38);baicalin was 10.783 (lgP=1.03);berberine hydrochloride was 0.267 (lgP=-0.57). It was concluded that lipid solubility of puerarin, baicalin and berberine hydrochloride at pH 1.0 was better. It was speculated that better absorption in the stomach, and low lipid solubility under other pH. It was speculated that lipid solubility may be one of the reasons affecting the intestinal absorption.

Objective To explore the value of applying multiple disciplinary team (MDT) in the clinical practice teaching of lymphoma. Methods 5-year program clinical medicine undergraduate students of 2012 were divided into experimental and control group randomly, with 30 cases in each group. The ex-perimental group received MDT in clinical teaching through MDT conference and cases analysis. The control group received conventional teaching mainly by smal class presentation and ward round . The effect of teaching was evaluated by examination and questionnaire. The data were analyzed through t-test and chi-square test by SPSS 20.0 software. Results The results showed the students' scores of the theory knowledge test of two groups were similar to each other, but the scores of discussional topic and clinical cases analysis were higher in experimental group than control group and statistically difference [(16.5 ±2.3)vs. (10.5 ±1.8);(37.5±2.5) vs.(27.5±1.8)], (P=0.000), and the final score of two groups showed statistically difference (93.5± 5.2 vs. 76.0 ±6.2) (P=0.000). Meanwhile, questionnaire survey of satisfaction showed that 27 students of experimental group (90.0%) were interested in this new teaching model, 29 students (96.7%) believed it im-proved understanding and memory to the process of lymphoma diagnosis and treatment, 25 students (83.3%) believed it could improved the ablility to diagnose and differential diagnose lymphoma and expanded their clinical view. 28 students (93.3%) had consolidated clinical thinking, and 26 students (86.7%) improved negotiation with patients. All issues were significantly better than control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The clinical teaching model innovation based on MDT could help medical students use the cross-discipinary interviewing and make optimal treatment plan for patients. It is conducive to the cultivation of their diagnosis, differential diagnosis and clinical thinking ability, which is worthy of promotion in hematological clinical teaching.
