Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching method which is tutor-guided,student-centered,learning in the procedure of solving problem and solving problem in the procedure of learning.Compared with traditional teaching methods,PBL has advantages in culturing the ability of the students,improving the ability of analyzing and solving problem and combining multiple disciplines and it plays an important role in culturing applicable and innovative talents.Attention should be paid to teacher training,learner supervision,strict selection of curriculum and supplement of extra relevant courses.Furthermore,the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine must be highlighted so as to achieve the best teaching effects.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of idiopathicgranulomatous mastitis.MethodsThis study was to retrospectively review the clinical presentation,radiological investigation,histopathological features,treatment and outcome of idiopatbic granulomatoos mastitis of women presenting to Xuanwu Hospital between January 2002 and June 2010.ResultsTwenty-four patients with a mean age of 34.5 years presented with a diagnosis of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis.Patients presented with a palpable breast lump,breast abscess,fistula formation in different periods of the disease; the role of radiological imagings was found to be limited in differentiating idiopathic granulomatous mastitis from other inflammatory and maliguant conditions of the breast.All patients underwent a surgical procedure as the main treatment; in the form of excision or incision and drainage of the breast lesions. Mean follow-up was 47.38 ( range 6-96 ) months with recurrence in 3(12.5%) patients.ConclusionsIdiopathic granulomatous mastitis presents clinically with a palpable breast lump.The diagnosis is often only made histopathologically after surgical excision or core biopsy.Wide excision of the lesions or incision and drainage of the lesion are the main treatment modalities.

Objective To investigate the imaging features of perivascular epithelioid cell tumor of liver (PEComa),and to improve the diagnostic level of the disease. Methods A retrospective analysis of imaging manifestations was performed on 11 cases of hepatic hemangioma confirmed by surgery and pathology. All patients underwent CT and MRI examination before PET/CT examination ,then received operation. Results Eleven cases were solitary hepatic lesions ,10 of which were located in the right lobe of the liver ,and 1 in the left. The lesions were round or quasi-circular and the diameter ranged from about 13.5cm to about 1.8 cm,with an average of 5.7 cm. CT plain scanning showed that the liver was slightly lower density ,with clear boundary. The smaller lesions were homogeneous density,while the larger ones were not,and the lower density area was visible. Enhancement of peripheral lesions in the arterial phase was enhanced. The lesions in the portal vein were not uniformly enhanced , and visible separation was found in large lesions. In the delay phase ,the lesions were significantly decreased or slightly lower. MRI plain scan showed the lesion T1WI showed moderate signal or slightly low signal ,and large lesion signal was not uniform,and T2WI lesions showed slightly high signal while DWI lesions high signal and the enhanced features were similar to those of CT. PET/CT examination showed that visible radioactive uptake of abnormal concentration or uneven concentration were found in lesions with diameter larger than 3.0 cm,and the maximum SUV value ranged from 12.2 to 3.6,with an average value of 5.7. Lesions with diameter less than 3.0 cm showed a slight concentration of radioactive uptake and the highest SUV value was 4.7,with an average value of 2.9. The only 11.8 cm lesion showed no significant radioactivity ,which was as the same as that of normal liver tissue. Delayed PET/CT imaging(1 hour)showed that SUV values of all lesions were decreased in varying degrees. Conclusion PET/CT imaging of perivascular epithelioid cell tumor of liver has its characteristics. The combina-tion of PET/CT imaging and routine imaging examination will benefit the improvement of diagnosis level obviously.

Objective With the focus on emerging infectious diseases and diseases of unknown cause,the study aims to realize multi-point trigger monitoring of infectious diseases through key monitoring sites and key populations.Methods Using ar-tificial intelligence,deep learning,big data and other information technologies to build an intelligent information center for infec-tious diseases with patients'disease files as the core,construct a core capacity of infectious disease surveillance,early warning and situation prediction,and predict and evaluate the importance of infectious disease warning signals.Results The system cov-ered 1 425 primary-level medical institutions,18 hospitals,2 580+schools,4 134 pharmacies,4 laboratories and civil affairs departments,detected 55 kinds of infectious diseases and 6 kinds of syndrome monitoring signals.Since its launch,121 000 ac-tive notification cards have been issued,more than 54 000 new notification cards have been added,35.256 million times of multi-source monitoring and 14.4 million disease files have been recorded.Conclusion By expanding monitoring content and chan-nels,we realized early monitoring,auxiliary investigation and multi-mode visual early warning of infectious diseases,built a multi-point trigger mechanism,and moved forward the infectious disease surveillance.

ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the dynamic changes in general body parameters, blood glucose, and blood lipid profiles in obese cynomolgus monkeys, exploring the correlations among these parameters and providing a reference for research on the obese cynomolgus monkey model. Methods30 normal male cynomolgus monkeys aged 5 - 17 years old (with body mass index < 35 kg/m² and glycated hemoglobin content < 4.50%) and 99 spontaneously obese male cynomolgus monkeys (with body mass index ≥35 kg/m² and glycated hemoglobin content < 4.50%) were selected. Over a period of three years, their abdominal circumference, skinfold thickness, body weight, body mass index, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and four blood lipid indicators were monitored. The correlations between each indicator were analyzed using repeated measurement ANOVA, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regression correlation analysis method. Results Compared to the control group, the obese group exhibited significantly higher levels of abdominal circumference, skinfold thickness, body weight, body mass index, and triglyceride (P<0.05). In the control group, skinfold thickness increased annually, while other indicators remained stable. Compared with the first year, the obese group showed significantly increased abdominal circumference, skinfold thickness, body weight, body mass index, triglyceride, and fasting blood glucose in the second year(P<0.05), with this increasing trend persisting in the third year (P<0.05). In the control group, the obesity incidence rates in the second and third years were 16.67% and 23.33%, respectively, while the prevalence of diabetes remained at 16.67%. In the obese group, the diabetes incidence rates were 29.29% and 44.44% in years 2 and 3, respectively. Among the 11-13 year age group, the incidence rates were 36.36% and 44.68%, while for the group older than 13 years, the rates were 28.13% and 51.35%. Correlation analysis revealed significant associations (P<0.05) between fasting blood glucose and age, abdominal circumference, skinfold thickness, body weight, and triglyceride in the diabetic monkeys. Conclusion Long-term obesity can lead to the increases in general physical indicators and fasting blood glucose levels in cynomolgus monkeys, and an increase in the incidence of diabetes. In diabetic cynomolgus monkeys caused by obesity, there is a high correlation between their fasting blood glucose and age, weight, abdominal circumference, skinfold thickness, and triglyceride levels, which is of some significance for predicting the occurrence of spontaneous diabetes.
