Objective To study needs of training of trainers(ToT)in mini-clinical evaluation exercise(mini-CEX)and its effectiveness.Methods One hundred and fourteen doctors involved in TOT for mini-CEX were interviewed with questionnaire before and after training for their satisfaction of training and fifty of them scored the training videos.Results Before the training.39%(44/114)of doctors involved in TOT knew mini-CEX and 97%(111/114)of them hoped to know how to carry out mini-CEX thronsh training.When the training finished,30%(34/114)tO 55%(63/114)of them could completely understand seven items of examinations of mini-CEX.Fifty doctors involved in TOT scored the training videos after the training.There was signifieant difference in scores between TOT and standard scoring on training video 1 for teaching of coronary heart disease and video 2 for teaching of hematochezia(P<0.05).No significant difference Was found in scores between TOT and standard scoring on the video 3 for teaching of abdomihal pain(P>0.05).as well as those between TOT with five or less years experience and those with more than five years experience(P>0.05).Conclusions Currently,doctors involved in TOT have more demands on mini-CEX.However,effectiveness of short-course training for mini-CEX is not satisfactory,and pattern of its training should be improved further.

Thirty four residents of general practice and 11 students of junior college to undergraduate program were evaluated with the mini-clinical evaluation exercise (mini-CEX) when they were rotated to community clinics or the ward of general practice in Zhongshan Hospital from September 2009 to February 2010. The reliability and validity of mini-CEX for rotation examination in general practice training was assessed. Forty five trainees and 9 clinical faculty members completed 81 mini-CEX evaluations. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0. 932. Criterion-related validity for mini-CEX overall competence with the end examination of rotation was O.53 ( P ＜ 0.001 ). The results indicate that mini-CEX may be an appropriate evaluation tool for rotation examination in general practice training.

OBJECTIVETo explore the association of 8-hydroxyguanine glycosidase OGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism with semen quality and the risk of male infertility.

METHODSThis case-control study included 620 idiopathic infertile patients and 385 normal fertile controls. We determined their genotypes by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and analyzed their semen quality by computer-aided semen analysis (CASA).

RESULTSThe individuals with OGG1 326 Cys/Cys showed significantly lower sperm motility and concentration ([52.1 +/- 26.7]% and (3.75 +/- 0.91) x 10(6)/ml, ln transformed value) than the Ser/Ser carriers ([59.0 +/- 21.8] % and (4.12 +/- 0.88) x 10(6)/ml, ln transformed value) (P < 0.05). The risk of male infertility increased 69% in the OGG1 326Cys allele carriers as compared with the Ser carriers (OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.24 -2.31).

CONCLUSIONOGG1 326 Ser/Cys polymorphism might contribute to the risk of male infertility in the southern Chinese population.

Objective To investigate the safety and short-term efficacy for evaluation of the low-profile visualized intraluminal support device (LVIS stents )compression and lantern release shapes for the treatment of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. Methods From December 2014 to October 2015,15 patients with intracranial wide-neck aneurysm (16 aneurysms)received LVIS stent treatment, whose stent shapes had shortening changes were analyzed retrospectively. Thecompression mode refers to the length of LVIS stent to be shorter for more than 5 mm than the label release value by operation. Thelantern mode refers to the widened diameter of LVIS stent at the neck of aneurysm. The metal coverage rate in the posterior communicating segment of internal carotid artery after stent compression was calculated, and its safety and efficacy were assessed immediately after procedure and at 3 months after procedure. Results (1 )Using LVIS stent-assisted treatment,16 wide-necked aneurysms were treated,including 8 posterior communicating aneurysms,6 ophthalmic aneurysms,one anterior choroidal artery aneurysm and one M2 bifurcation fusiform aneurysm. The aneurysm neck was 1. 8 to 8. 0 mm (mean 3. 9 ± 1. 7 mm). A total of 15 LVIS stents were implanted (one patient with 2 aneurysms were treated with 1 stent). All the stents were released by using compression mode,and 4 of the patients (4 stents)also used the lantern mode at the same time. (2 ) After LVIS stenting,the Raymond grade Ⅰ embolization was in 10 aneurysms (62.5%),the covered branch arteries were patent immediately after procedure. (3)No perioperative technology-related hemorrhagic and ischemic complications occurred. The success rate of stent implantation was 100%(15/15). (4)The metal coverage rate after stent compression in the internal carotid artery posterior communicating segment was 30. 3%-38. 5%(mean 35. 0 ± 2. 8%). (5)After LVIS stent implantation,15 patients were followed up by whole brain DSA for 3 to 5 months (mean 3. 2 ± 0. 5), 14 aneurysms were cured on imaging (Raymond gradeⅠ),and no aneurysm recurred. All branch arteries covered by the stents did not have vascular occlusion. There was no in-stent restenosis or parent artery occlusion. The total disability rate was 6. 7%(1/15),and no patient died. Conclusions LVIS stents can increase aneurysm neck metal coverage rate and short-term cure rate throughcompression andlantern modes,while does not affect the covered branches. Choosing the appropriate cases for thelanternmode may be beneficial to the short-term protection of the vascular branches at the aneurysm necks.

Objective To study whether carbon dioxide used to establish pneumoperitoneum has an influence on port-site and intraperitoneal implantation and metastasis of tumor cells. Methods R 15 hepatic cancer cells were injected into 30 Wistar rats’ peritoneal cavities 1 hour before operation, then the 30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: gasless group, helium group and carbon dioxide group. The suspension was exposed to the gas environment for 2 hours, all animals were killed after 28 days and the port-site and intraperitoneal implantation and metastasis of tumor cells were examined.Results On port-site, intestinal serous coat, mesentery, greater omentum and diaphragm, the weights of tumor cells, in carbon dioxide group were (326.7?230.3) mg, (626.2?215.9) mg, (476.2?204.8) mg,(2 536.5?906.7) mg and (384.5?149.9) mg respectively; in helium group were (235.6?107.3) mg, (414.2?148.4) mg, (261.8?92.6) mg, (1 633.4?247.3) mg and(220.0?57.9) mg; in gasless group were (145.0?42.4) mg, (221.5?108.2) mg, (212.5?109.6) mg, (797.5?335.9) mg and 113.0 mg.The weights of carbon dioxide group showed a significant increase, compared with helium group and gasless group (P 0.05). Conclusion The insufflation of carbon dioxide promotes intraperitoneal tumor implantation and growth compared with helium and gaslessness in a rat model.

Objective To observe the therapeutic response of liver tumors by arterial embolization hyperthermia with Nano Superparamagnetic Iodized Oil(NSIO)using rabbit VX2 liver tumor model.Methods A total 24 rabbits containing experimental hepatic tumors were randomly assigned to one of four groups as follows:NSIO embolization hyperthermia group(group A),Lipidol embolization group(group B),NSIO embolization group(group C),and contronl group(group D),each groups contain 6 VX2 rabbits.Fourteen days after implantation of the experimental hepatic tumor,VX2 rabbits were treated.In group A group B and group C,the rabbits hepatic proper artery were selectively catheterized by 3 Fr microcatheters via right femoral artery under fluoroscopic guidance.10% NSIO 0.5 ml(group A and group C)or Lipidol 0.5 ml(group B)infused into proper hepatic artery.Three days after embolization,the rabbits in group A and group B were exposed to gap-type alternating magnetic field for 30 minutes,while rabbits in group C and group D have not been exposed to alternating magnetic field.The liver tumor size were measured by CT scanning before and 14 days after treatment then the animals were sacrificed,the liver,lung,heart spleen and kidney were harvested for histopathology examination,the liver tumor size were detected directly. Results All subjects experienced uneventful 14 days surivials,on the biochemical examination,there were no changes about the function of liver and renal in each group 14 days after treatment compare to pre- treatment.Fourteen days after treatment,the tumor size decreased by 8.09% in group A,but increased by 9.72% and 13.00%(P＜0.05)in group B and group C respectively,in group D,the tumor size increased by 57.50%(P＜0.01).In histopathology examination,the tumor necrosis in three treatment groups were manifest,particular in group A.Conclusion Arterial embolization hyperthermia with NSIO has obvious therapeutic response to experimental hepatic tumors,it encourages further development of this technology for the treatment of liver cancer in humans.
