Objective:To explore the application effects of the goal-oriented teaching method based on mind mapping in the teaching of stomatology practical courses.Methods:From September 2022 to September 2023, 52 fourth-year students of clinical stomatology at Harbin Medical University were divided into test group and control group for practical teaching, with 26 cases in each group. The test group received goal-oriented teaching based on mind mapping, while the control group received traditional teaching, for 20 class hours in both groups. The two groups were compared in terms of general data, theoretical and practical assessment scores, the score of the self-rating scale of self-directed learning (SRSSDL) and the score of critical thinking disposition inventory-Chinese version (CTDI-CV) before and after training, and student satisfaction with teaching activities. SPSS 25.0 software was used to perform the t-test or χ2 test. Results:After completing the practical training courses, the test group showed significantly higher scores than the control group in multiple-choice questions [(16.85±1.39) vs. (15.33±2.21)], fill-in-the-blank questions [(17.21±1.98) vs. (16.01±2.02)], short answer questions [(17.47±2.27) vs. (15.23±2.45)], case analysis [(34.36±2.79) vs. (32.57±3.02)], and practical assessment [(84.69±4.73) vs. (80.57±4.21)] (all P<0.05). The SRSSDL score and CTDI-CV score were improved in both groups, and were significantly higher in the test group [(215.29±10.42) and (357.49±17.80)] than in the control group [(200.23±11.42) and (342.23±17.26)] (both P<0.05). The students of the test group were significantly more satisfied with teaching activities than those of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with the traditional teaching method, the goal-oriented teaching method based on mind mapping is more effective in stomatology practical teaching, which can improve students' self-directed learning ability and critical thinking ability, promote their mastery of theoretical knowledge, enhance their clinical practice ability, and increase their satisfaction with teaching activities.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clini cal features of thrombocytopenia induced by antidepressants ,and to provide reference for the rational use of clinical drugs. METHODS :Retrieved from CNKI ,Wanfang database ,VIP,PubMed and Web of Science,during Jan. 1st in 1985 to Aug. 31st in 2020,case reports about antidepressants-induced thrombocytopenia was collected and analyzed descriptively in terms of demographic characteristics ,medication,clinical manifestations ,treatment and outcome. RESULTS:A total of 17 literatures were retrieved ,and 19 patients were included ,involving 10 male and 9 female,aged from 5 to 95 years old ,with an average of (48±24)years old. Nine kinds of drugs were involved ,including 4 cases of escitalopram ,3 cases of citalopram ,3 cases of fluoxetine ,3 cases of mirtazapine ,2 cases of amitriptyline ,1 case of sertraline ,1 case of paroxetine,1 case of mianserin and 1 case of imipramine. There were 9 cases of single drug and 10 cases of drug combination. All 19 patients suffered from thrombocytopenia at 3 d-10 years after medication ,14 of them had hemorrhage tendency. Main clinical manifestations included mucocutaneous hemorrhage ,gingival bleeding ,black stool ,hematochezia,vaginal bleeding ,ocular hemorrhage,alveolar hemorrhage. No bleeding was found in 5 cases. After drug withdrawal/changing drugs and other symptomatic treatment, platelet count of 19 patients recovered to normal , and bleeding symptoms disappeared. CONCLUSIONS : Thrombocytopenia caused by antidepressants has no obvious clinical features and is not easy to be found ,but it may lead to severe; bleeding symptoms if it is not found in time. The changes of platelet count should be closely monitored in clinical application of such drugs to ensure the safety of drug use.
