Medical ethics has its own characteristics on curriculum setup,teaching goals,the structure of teaching staff in America,France and China,It is beneficial for our feform in education in medical ethics to learn and refer to the experiencs of the success abroad.

The rational design of teaching contents of physical pharmacy plays an important role in the class teaching.Some practices of designing teaching contents are expounded in detail,including the combination with teaching cases,the integration of the teaching contents,the combination with the research results of the physical pharmacy,and the combination with the pharmaceutical experiments of traditional Chinese medicine.The innovation of this research is the combination of theory and practice and the infiltration between teaching and scientific research.It also puts forward some measures such as continually accumulating and improving the related material,and constructing a rich,shared source material storehouse,etc..

Thyroid carcinoma is one of the most common diseases in the head and neck area. With the advance of innovative technologies like ultrasound ,fine-needle aspiration and PET-CT, the number of patients diagnosed as thyroid carcinoma has grow rapidly during the past ten years. As a special structure in papillary tumors and appearing as microcalcification in the imaging examination, psammoma body has been considered of great significance in the diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma. Psammoma body has unique features in terms of pathology, cytology and imageology.The study of the mechanism of psammoma body formation is very important for the clinic to differentiate the disease from others. In this article, we summarized the role of psammoma body in the study of thyroid cancer.

An online questionnaire to 103 professionals of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was conducted to acquire their recognition and understanding of international communicative competence. The results showed that foreign language communicative competence and solid medical knowledge are considered the most important qualities while the importance of global vision, strategic thinking, cross-cultural awareness/sensitivity and communicative strategy is comparatively underestimated. It was proposed that domestic TCM universities and colleges strive to improve the soft skills for TCM professionals and cultivate more interdisciplinary TCM talents armed with professional expertise, foreign language communicative competence as well as international and multicultural awareness.

Objective To detect DNA lesions induced by complex pollutants existing in environment using the technique of randomized terminal linker,dependent PCR (RDPCR). Methods SD rats were treated with organic concentrate by injection i.p., DNA were extracted from rat's liver, kidney, lung and leucocytes, then RDPCR was used to detect DNA damage of exon 7 of p53 gene. Results Organic concentrate of drinking water could make rat's genomic DNA broken. Hybridization bands were found in liver and kidney tissues after RDPCR, none in blood and lung tissues. Conclusion Organic concentrate of drinking water can cause the DNA lesions of exon 7 of p53 gene and the major target organs are liver and kidney. The technique of RDPCR can be used to detect DNA damage induced by complex environmental pollutants.

Objective To observe influence of basic osteoporosis intervention on the 25-hydroxy vitamin D[25(OH)D] levels,low limb muscle strength and its balance function among Chinese elderly people.Methods Cross sectional study and statistics analysis were performed among total 1026 elderly (≥65years) patients from 16 hospitals throughout China.Daily taking amount of dairy products,calcium,vitamin D supplement,sunlight and physical exercise were recorded.Serum 25 (OH) D level was measured.Limb muscle strength and balance tests were performed.Results Daily intake of dairy products was insufficient in more than 42.0％ (430 cases) participating patients.The average sunlight time of participating patients was (1.2 ± 0.8) h per day.The average physical exercise time was (1.2 ± 0.7) h per day.37.7 ％ (387 cases) participating patients took supplemental calcium and vitamin D.36.8％ (278 cases)participating patients took supplemental calcium.The 25 (OH) D level was less than 50 nmol/L in 77.2％ (792 cases) participating patients,while 50～75 nmol/Lin 16.7％(171 cases).48.7％ (474/973),64.6％(624/966)and 63.6％ (614/966) patients were in high fall risk according to the timed up and go test(TUG),chair rising test(CRT) and tandem gait test(TGT),which showed that the levels of 25 (OH) D deficiency were positively correlated with the elderly fall risk.Conclusions Daily intake of dairy products,sunlight,calcium and ordinary vitamin D supplement are insufficient among Chinese elderly people.Decreases of muscle strength and balance function among elderly people are related to 25 (OH) D levels.Exercise,not Vitamin D supplement,can reduce fall risk through improving muscle strength and balance function in elderly people.

Drawing on recently published foreign literature, this paper comprehensively analyses the research status of medical tourism from the concept of decision-making factors and risks for tourists, as well as the impacts of medical tourism. For future research, it proposes a greater focus on medical tourists, caregiver-companions and medi-cal tourism facilitators. To promote the development of Chinese medical tourism, a development model must be con-structed, international medical services, consummate policies, and regulations must be in place, and medical tourism personnel must be trained and welcomed.
