Objective:To explore the application and effect of teaching and anti-teaching system in clinical skills teaching of the standardized residents training.Methods:Forty pediatric residents of Batch 2018 in Hunan Children's Hospital were randomly divided into the conventional teaching group and the teaching and anti-teaching teaching group, 20 in each group. All of them received the skills training for medical licensing examination. A comparative analysis of the teachers' on-site training time, and the time of mastering individual skill, the skill operation ability, and the comprehensive ability in the two groups was conducted. In addition, teachers and students' satisfaction with teaching and anti-teaching system was investigated by Wenjuanxing, a platform providing questionnaire survey. SPSS 17.0 software was used for t-test and Chi-square test. Results:The teachers' on-site training time [(21.75±3.24) min vs. (48.65±2.91) min] and the residents' time of mastering skills and knowledge [(20.46±3.57) min vs. (30.24±4.73) min] in the teaching and anti-teaching teaching group were shorter than those in the conventional teaching group ( P < 0.05). The scores of clinical skills [(92.96±5.21) points vs. (84.13±3.28) points] and the comprehensive ability [(91.23±5.06) points vs. (85.23±5.72) points] of the residents in the teaching and anti-teaching teaching group were higher than those in the conventional teaching group ( P<0.05). The questionnaire survey showed that the residents had a positive attitude towards the teaching and anti-teaching teaching. They believed that it had the advantage of facilitating full-dimensional viewing of the operation, improving the learning interest, and achieving better learning effect for the residents. Conclusion:The application of teaching and anti-teaching system in the standardized training of residents in children's hospitals can make up for the rare adult clinical operation learning opportunities in children's hospitals, rapidly improve the professional skills of residents, improve the passing rate of medical licensing examination, and help to improve the post competency of residents.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Mahonia bealei leaf extract on depression of rats and the underlying mechanism. MethodThe chemical constituents of the extract were analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS. Forced swimming test and tail suspension test were carried out to estimate the antidepressant effect. The mice were randomly assigned into the following groups: blank group, positive control group (fluoxetine, 10 mg·kg-1), and Mahonia bealei leaf extract groups (10, 2.5 g·kg-1). The gavage lasted for 12 days and the immobility time of the mice in the tests was recorded 1 h after the last administration. Furthermore, to explore the underlying mechanism of the antidepressant effect, we established the rat depression model by intraperitoneal injection with reserpine (0.5 mg·kg-1). Rats were grouped as follows: blank group, model group, positive control group (fluoxetine, 1.8 mg·kg-1), and Mahonia bealei leaf extract groups (10, 2.5 g·kg-1). The gavage, once a day, lasted for 10 consecutive days. The depression of rats was detected by behavioral tests 1 h after the last administration. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum of rats were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The protein expression of IL-6 and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in brain tissue was detected by immunohistochemical staining. The protein levels of nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) and NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) in hippocampus of rats were detected by Western blot. ResultSeven chemical constituents, mainly alkaloids, were identified from the extract. Compared with the blank group, Mahonia bealei leaf extract shortened the immobility time of mice in tail suspension and forced swimming tests. Compared with the blank group, the modeling of rat depression increased the blepharoptosis incidence and retention time in circles (P<0.05, P<0.01), elevated the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in serum (P<0.05), and up-regulated the protein levels of IL-6, IL-1β, NF-κB, and NLRP3 in brain tissues (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, high dose of Mahonia bealei leaf extract shortened the retention time in circles (P<0.05), lowered the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in serum (P<0.05, P<0.01), and down-regulated the protein levels of IL-6, IL-1β, NF-κB, and NLRP3 (P<0.01) in brain tissues. ConclusionMahonia bealei leaf extract had significant antidepressant effect and alleviated the inflammatory response in reserpine-induced rat model of depression, the mechanism of which may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway.
