Since the implementation of synergy of medical education, the education of clinical medi-cal postgraduate of academic degree inevitably has faced problems such as the decrease quality of the source of students, unclear training objectives and confused training model, and bad job prospects. Can these problems be solved effectively or not, which is directly related to the coordinated development of clinical medicine professional degree and academic degree. This study analyzes the problems faced by the graduate education of clinical medicine after the synergy of medical education and puts forward the corresponding countermeasures:firstly, to attract excellent clinical medical undergraduates and encourage medical students of related subjects or clinical doctors having working experience to apply for academic degree;secondly, the university, supervisors and graduates need to clear the training target and ensure the quality of graduate education; thirdly, employment guidance should be carried out throughout all the study stage of graduates, and the school should guide the graduates to form correct opinion of employment and to plan their career reasonably.

By studying the four elements such as the topic selection of dissertations of the clinical medical postgraduates, forms, specifications and levels and the quality management status in three stages such as input, process and output, this article analyses the way of dissertation quality management of post-graduates of clinical medicine in two aspects of management institutions and personnel.

Objective:To investigate the mental health status of postgraduates in a medical university in southwest China and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A total of 622 clinical medical postgraduates from a medical university were investigated by basic information questionnaire and symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90). Logistic regression was performed for data analysis. Excel 2010 was used for data entry, and SPSS 22.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results:The scores of each factor were as follows: somatization=1.24±0.44, compulsion=1.62±0.64, interpersonal sensitivity=1.4±0.54, depression=1.45± 0.64, anxiety=1.37±0.56, hostility=1.31±0.50, fear=1.18±0.42, paranoia=1.27±0.51, psychosis=1.25± 0.46, others=1.36±0.53. Besides, 169 (27.2%) people had positive mental health symptoms, and the top three symptoms were compulsion, depression and interpersonal sensitivity. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that grade, professional satisfaction, postgraduate study motivation and family education style were the influencing factors of mental health status of postgraduates in medical colleges and universities.Conclusion:The mental health status of postgraduates in medical colleges is worse than before. According to the influencing factors, targeted measures should be taken to improve the mental health level of postgraduates.

This investigation was conducted on clinical professional graduate students of Chongqing Medical University to analyze the problems and influencing factors in the process of scientific research ability training. We propose three measures to improve the model of training professional clinical graduate students and provide references for the cultivation of their scientific research ability. The measures are "clear orientation of clinical scientific research ability training", "constant pursuit of high-level original scientific research results" and "adherent implementation to strengthen training effect".

The cultivation of graduate students' scientific research ability is an important task of colleges and universities. The evaluation standards of cultivation achievements play an important guiding role. In recent years, quantitative academic evaluation based on the "five-only" has caused some negative effects on the cultivation of talents in colleges and universities. A new evaluation system needs to be established. During the transition period between the old and new academic evaluation systems, the evaluation criteria for the cultivation of graduate students' scientific research capabilities will inevitably need to be reformed. This study attempts to reform the existing evaluation standards by investigating the evaluation standards for the cultivation of scientific research capabilities in various colleges and universities. The aim is to improve the evaluation of the achievements in the cultivation of scientific research ability of graduate students and improve the quality of the cultivation of scientific research ability of graduate students.

Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1/p62) is a selective autophagy adaptor protein that plays an important role in the clearance of proteins to be degraded as well as in the maintenance of cellular proteostasis. p62 protein has multiple functional domains, which interact with several downstream proteins to precisely regulate multiple signaling pathways, thereby linking p62 to oxidative defense systems, inflammatory responses and nutrient sensing. Studies have shown that mutation or abnormal expression of p62 is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, tumors, infectious diseases, genetic diseases and chronic diseases. This review summarizes the structural features and molecular functions of p62. Moreover, we systematically introduce its multiple functions in protein homeostasis and regulation of signaling pathways. Furthermore, the complexity and versatility of p62 in the occurrence and development of diseases are summarized, with the aim to provide a reference for understanding the function of p62 protein and facilitating related disease research.

UHRF2 is a ubiquitin-protein ligase E3 that regulates cell cycle, genomic stability and epigenetics. We conducted a co-immunoprecipitation assay and found that TIP60 and HDAC1 interact with UHRF2. We previously demonstrated that UHRF2 regulated H3K9ac and H3K14ac differentially in normal and cancer cells. However, the accurate signal transduction mechanisms were not clear. In this study, we found that TIP60 acted downstream of UHRF2 to regulate H3K9ac and H3K14ac expression. TIP60 is stabilized in normal cells by UHRF2 ubiquitination. However, TIP60 is destabilized in cancer cells. Depletion or inhibition of TIP60 disrupts the regulatory relationship between UHRF2, H3K9ac and H3K14ac. In summary, the findings suggest that UHRF2 mediated the post-translational modification of histones and the initiation and progression of cancer.

Ubiquitination is one of the reversible protein post-translational modifications, in which ubiquitin molecules bind to the target protein in a cascade reaction of ubiquitin activating enzymes, ubiquitin conjugating enzymes, and ubiquitin ligases. The deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) remove ubiquitin residues from the substrates, which play key roles in the formation of mature ubiquitin, the removal and trimming of ubiquitin chains, as well as the recycling of free ubiquitin chains. Ubp14, a member of the ubiquitin specific proteases family in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is mainly responsible for the recycling of intracellular free ubiquitin chains. To investigate its global biological function, a ubp14∆ mutant was constructed by homologous recombination technique. The growth rate of ubp14∆ mutant was lower than that of the wild-type (WT) strain. Using stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) combined with deep coverage proteomics analysis, the differentially expressed proteins of ubp14∆ mutant relative to the wild-type strain were systematically analyzed. A total of 3 685 proteins were identified in this study, and 109 differentially expressed proteins were filtered out by statistical analysis. Gene ontology analysis found that differentially expressed proteins caused by Ubp14 loss were mainly involved in amino acid metabolism, REDOX, heat shock stress and etc, which shed light on the broad biological function of this DUB. This study provides highly reliable proteomic data for further exploring the biological functions of the deubiquitination enzyme Ubp14, and further understanding the relationship between the free ubiquitin homeostasis and biological process regulation.
