Objective To investigate the"Precision Treatment for Oncology"course,which is offered by Peking Union Medical College.The course is aiming for collecting students'opinions and suggestions to optimize the course setting and improve the teaching quality.Methods This investigation collected data by questionnaire survey and in-terviewing from Dec.2021 to Feb.2022.The questionnaire data and interview data were analysed.Results Thirty-six quantitative questionnaires and five qualitative questionnaires were included.Improving professional knowledge and personal interests were two main reasons for students to choose courses,which existed statistical differences on different aspects of course evaluation.The overall score evaluated by medical students was 9.22 and 94.4%of the students thought the course achieved the desired goal.The scores of teachers'teaching attitude,frontier and practi-cality of course content were 9.81,9.08 and 8.86 points respectively.The students hoped to increase the case analysis practice and thematic discussion activities to enrich the teaching form.Conclusions This elective course for graduate is recognized and accepted by students.More efforts are needed in future to optimize curriculum set-tings,innovate teaching methods,improve teaching quality and explore new pathways for medical graduate educa-tion matching the needs of students.

Objective To investigate the effect of esketamine on postoperative anxiety and cognitive function in gynecological malignant tumor patients with preoperative anxiety and cognitive decline.Methods Eighty-nine patients were selected for resection of gynecological malignant tumors,aged 18-64 years,BMI 18-28 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,the hospital anxiety and depression scale(HADS)anxiety subscale score≥8 points and montreal cognitive rating scale(MoCA)<26 points 1 day before surgery.The patients were divided into two groups using the random number table method:the esket-amine group(group S,n = 45)and the normal saline group(group C,n = 44).In group S,esketamine 0.2 mg/kg was injected intravenously during anesthesia induction,0.25 mg·kg-1·h-1 was injected by pump during anesthesia maintenance,and esketamine 100 mg was used in the postoperative analgesic pump.Group C was given the same volume of normal saline during anesthesia induction,maintenance and PCIA analgesia,and other medications were the same as those in group S.HADS and MoCA were used to evaluate patients'anxiety and cognitive function 1 day before surgery and the 1 day and 3 days after surgery.The con-centration of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),S100 calcium-binding protein(S100β),and brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)were detected 1 day before surgery and 3 days af-ter surgery.The intraoperative dosage of remifentanil,ephedrine use rate,Ramsay sedation score 10 minutes after admission to PACU,extubation time,the number of total and effective compressions of PCIA within 48 hours after surgery,postoperative remedial analgesia,and the occurrence of adverse reactions,such as hy-pertension,hypotension,nausea and vomiting,chill,dizziness,and fever within 48 hours after surgerywere recorded.Results Compared with group C,the incidence of anxiety were significantly reduced and MoCA cognitive score were increased 1 day and 3 days after surgery,the concentrations of TNF-α,IL-6,and S100β were significantly reduced,the concentration of BDNF was significantly increased,the dosage of remifentanil was significantly reduced,the sedation score of Ramsay was significantly increased,the number of total compressions and effective compressions of PCIA within 48 hours after surgery was significantly re-duced,and postoperative fever was significantly reduced in group S(P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in ephedrine use rate,extubation time,postoperative remedial analgesia rate,the in-cidence of other adverse reactions,such as hypertension,hypotension,nausea and vomiting,chills and diz-ziness within 48 hours after surgery between the two groups.Conclusion Esketamine can decrease the con-centrations of inflammatory factors and reduce nerve damage,help relieve anxiety and cognitive function of patients with gynecological malignant tumors.
