It is a trend that innovate the traditional bilingual education model and select a new teaching model.Code-switching is a lingual phenomenon when a passages or articles are expressed with two or more language.To guarantee effect of bilingual education and improve education quality,penetration bilingual education was applied during microbiology teaching.Professional English vocabulary,words,passages or articles were introduced to students timely and by measure by the way of language code-switching.The results showed that bilingual teaching mode with language code-switching inspire study emotion and self-confidence of English expression from students.

Objective To evaluate the image quality of 64-multi detector computed tomography (MDCT)and the clinical accuracy in detecting coronary artery lesions.Methods One hundred and five patients were studied by MDCT.The results were compared with invasive coronary angiography(ICA). Patients were excluded for atrial fibrillation,but not for high heart rate,coronary calcification,or obesity. MDCT was analyzed with regard to image quality and presence of coronary artery lesions.Results The data evaluation of the image quality was based on a total of 1365 segments(13 coronary segments for each patient),of which 1144 segments were considered to have diagnostic image quality,but 221 segments (16.2%)could not be sufficiently evaluated because of severe calcifications(153 segments)and motion artifacts(68 segments).The median calcium score[Agatston score equivalent(ASE)]was 154(range 0—1983).87 of the 105 patients had an ASE of less than 1,000[median 105(range 0—994)],and 18 patients had an ASE greater than 1000[median 1477(range 1115—1983)].For detecting lesions with 50% or greater narrowing(without any exclusion criteria),the overall sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,and negative predictive value were 85.7%,97.9%,93.0%,and 95.5%,respectively. When limiting the number of patients to those with a calcium score of less than 1000 ASE,the threshold- corrected sensitivity for lesions with 50% or greater narrowing was 96.0%;specificity,98.9%;positive predictive value,95.3%;and negative predictive value,99.0%.Conclusion Our results indicate high quantitative and qualitative diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice MSCT in comparison to QCA in a broad spectrum of patients.

Objective To analyze the antibiotic resistance of the carbapenem no-susceptibility Enterobacteriaceae isolated from pediatric patients and the resistant genes of carbapenemase-producing.Methods In all,46 carbapenem no-susceptibility Enterobacteriaceae strains were isolated from patients at Beijing Children's Hospital between January 2008 and December 2010.Agar dilution method recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute was used to examine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 14 antimicrobial agents.Phenotypic testing for carbapenemase-producing was conducted using Hodge test and double-disk synergy test.PCR was used to detect the expression of the carbapenemase-related genes KPC,GES,IMI/NMC-A,SME,IMP,VIM,GIM,SPM,SIM and OXA.WHONET5.6 was used to perform resistance analysis.Results Among 46 carbapenem no-susceptibility Enterobacteriaceae strains,26 (56.5％) were Klebsiella pneumoniae strains,13(28.3％ ) were Enterobacter cloacae and 7( 15.2％ ) were Escherichia coli.The rates of imipenem and meropenem no-susceptibility Klebsiella pneumoniae were 69.2％ and 80.8％,Enterobacter cloacae were 76.9％ and 100％ and Escherichia coli were 85.7％ and 100％,respectively.40(87.0％ ) strains were positive of Hodge test.41 (89.1％) strains were positive of doubledisk synergy test.38 (82.6％) were positive for the IMP genotype.The carbapenemase-related genes were not found in other 8 strains.Conclusion The prevalence of carbapenem no-susceptibility Enterobacteriaceae strains in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates is relatively high in children.Resistance to imipenem was lower than that to meropenem from Klebsiella pneumoniae,Enterobacter cloacae and Escherichia coli strains.Many carbapenem no-susceptibility Enterobacteriaceae isolated from pediatric patients carry the blaIMP gene.No the KPC gene was found.
