Objective To learn students' satisfaction with the general education courses, discuss the problems in comprehensive general education courses in local medical colleges , and provide the basis and reference for the medical general education courses reform. Methods Using the stratified random sampling method, self-designed questionnaire to local medical colleges of 575 different professions stu-dents. The questionnaire had the total of 54 topics whose contents were related to the basic situation aware-ness and satisfaction, the demand for general education courses, general education curriculum problems and suggestions. The survey data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0 software and the results were expressed by the relative number(rate and percentage). The differences between different majors and different grade student satisfaction were analyzed by using rank-sum test, showing statistical significance(P<0.05). Results The total satisfaction was not very high, only 219 students(38%) were satisfied with general curriculum;256 students(45%) thought it didn't matter whether to set general education courses;100 students(17%) were not satisfied. In addition, satisfaction with different grades was undifferentiated (P=0.798), but there was a statistical difference among the students of different professions(P=0.007). Conclusion The general education curriculum of medical schools should not blindly pursue being wide and full. Instead, it should be built from three aspects such as core curriculum, flexible teaching methods, teaching methods reform to enhance teaching effectiveness.

Objective To explore the signal mechanism of proliferation stimulating effect of connec-tive tissue growth factor (CTGF) on hypertrophic scar (HS) derived fibroblasts. Methods <'3>H-TdR in-corporation technique was used to determine the proliferative effect of CTGF at different concentration. Western blot was applied to semi-quantitively analyze the expression of phosphorylated and total ERK1/2 protein after 0, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 min of CTGF stimulation, and the relative value of which was de-fined as AI to measure the activation of ERK1/2 signal pathway. PD98059 was admitted to specifically block the ERK1/2 pathway, and subsequently cell proliferation stimulated by CTGF was studied by MTT. Results CTGF could stimulate fibroblasts proliferation with a dose-dependant manner, and activa-ted the ERK1/2 signal pathway, and AI built up to 0.209±0.0201, reaching the apex at 15 min after stimulation performed. Inhibition of ERK1/2 activation by PD98059 suppressed CTGF-mediated HS fi-broblasts proliferation significantly, while OD significantly dropped. Conclusion CTGF induces a prolif-erative response in HS fibroblasts, and this action is mainly dependent on the activation of ERK1/2 signal pathway.
