Course assessment is the important part of teaching and education.Double effects of improving the teaching and education quality can be achieved through emphasizing assessment methods,separating teaching and testing,building test bank and network exam,offering course of basic clinical skills as well as verified assessment methods,such as stage-based comprehensive exam,unified exam of the course,national entrance exam.The first pass rate of national medical practitioner qualification exam can be guaranteed through implementing these measures.

BACKGROUND:It is wel-known that mechanical stimulation could promote fracture healing. However, what kind of mechanical stimulation induced by treadmil exercise can increase the bone conductibility of bone material and promote the healing of bone defect is stil unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the influence of indirect mechanical stimulation produced by treadmil exercise on bone defect healing and osteogenesis of bone materials.
METHODS:Sprague-Dawley rats at 12 weeks old were used in this study to establish a bone defect of 3 mm in diameter and height at the left distal femur. Afterwards, calcium sulphate scaffolds were implanted into the defects. The rats were divided into treadmil exercise group and control group. Treadmil exercise was began at 1 week postoperatively, 10 m/min, 45 minutes per day, 5 days per week, for 3 weeks. Control group did not receive any exercise. Micro-computed tomography was used to determine bone formation in the bone defects at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after surgery. The sections of left distal femur were subject to hematoxylin-eosin staining, the new bone formation and degradation of bone materials in the bone defects were observed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Micro-CT analysis showed that, a smal amount of new bone formed in both treadmil exercise group and control group at 1 week after surgery. In treadmil exercise group, new bone formation was significantly higher than the control group at 2, 3, 4 weeks (P<0.05). At 4 weeks, histological results also confirmed the difference of new bone formation in bone defect between treadmil exercise group and control group. In addition, bone mineral density of treadmil exercise group was higher than that of control group at 2, 3, 4 weeks, but no significant difference was found (P>0.05). The results suggest that moderate treadmil exercise could promote bone defect healing and enhance osteoconductivity of bone substitute.

Objective To explore the value of prenatal diagnosis and sonographic features of Joubert syndrome and related disease (JSRD). Methods From April 2013 to August 2013, a fetal suspected hydrocephaly and the child of the same family were studied in Southern Medical University Afifliated Shenzhen Maternity&Child Healthcare Hospital. The fetal underwent ultrasonographic imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, genetic test and autopsy. The propositus underwent magnetic resonance imaging, genetic test and clinical test. The magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonographic imaging features of the JSRD were analysed. Results (1) Ultrasound results:′cleft sign′was detected because of the fetus cerebellar vermis dysplasia. The width of left ventricle was 2.3 cm. (2) MRI results:Both the fetal and the propositus showed′molar tooth sign′and′cleft sign′. (3) Genetic test results:Both of them had the mutations of CC2D2A gene at chromosome 4p15.32. (4) Fetal autopsy results:fetal cerebellar vermis hypoplasia and cerebellar hemispheres moved closer to the midline. (5) Clinical test result:the propositus had poor audio-visual reaction, looked instability, poor head-eye coordination, upper eyelid lifting fatigue, mental retardation and ataxia. His mouth crooked when he was crying. (6) The electroencephalogram results:the EEG with abnormal 3-4 Hz coming from occipital cortex showed poor sleep background. Frontal area launched sharp wave frequently. It was more obvious on the right area. Conclusions It is easy to diagnose JSRD according to the′molar tooth sign′,′cleft sign′,′bat wing sign′and the clinical features. The′molar tooth sign′on prenatal MRI may prompt JSRD risk, but it is not speciifc. Prenatal ultrasonographic features of cerebellar vermis hypogenesis provide some clues for the diagnosis.

OBJECTIVETo compare clinical effect of T-shaped locking internal fixation and external fixation in treating dorsal Barton's fracture,and investigate selective strategy of internal fixation.

METHODSFrom January 2008 to January 2013, 100 patients with dorsal Barton's fracture were randomly divided into two groups. In treatment group, there were 30 males and 20 females with an average age of (33.8±3.6) years old;30 cases were type B, 20 cases were type C;and treated with T-shaped locking internal fixation. In control group, there were 32 male and 18 females with an average age of (32.9±3.4) years old; 29 cases were type B, 21 cases were type C; and treated with external fixation. Volar tilt, ulnar deviation and radial height at 3 months after operation were detected and compared between two groups. Mechara functional evaluation were used to evaluate postoperative clinical effects. Clinical cure time, postoperative complications,joint mobility and function score were recorded and compared between two groups.

RESULTSIn treatment group,volar tilt was (11.9±2.7)°, ulnar deviation was (20.8+ 2.9)°,and radial height was (10.9±1.8) mm; while volar tilt was (9.1±1.6)°, ulnar deviation was (17.1±2.9)°, and radial height was (8.1±1.5) mm in control group. Treatment group was better than control group in volar tilt, ulnar deviation and radial height. Clinical cure time in treatment group was(12.0±2.3) weeks, shorter than control group (18.0±4.1) weeks. The incidence of complications in treatment group was lower than control group. According to Mehara functional evaluation,20 cases got excellent results, 25 good, 3 moderate and 2 poor in treatment group; 16 cases got excellent results, 14 good, 10 moderate and 10 poor in control group. Treatment group was better than control group in clinical effects.

CONCLUSIONT-shaped locking internal fixation with postoperative functional exercise for the treatment of dorsal Barton's fracture fits for biomechanics demands,and has advantages of stable fixation,rapid recovery, less complications and good functional recovery, it has better clinical effects.

Objective:To determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and explore related influencing factors of sarcopenia in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods:MHD patients aged ≥18 years old and receiving therapies of ≥3 months from March 2019 to December 2019 in Blood Purification Centre of Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were retrospectively enrolled in this study. General data of the patients were collected. Grip strength was measured by the Jamar dynamometer and the chair stand was measured by a chair of standard height to assess skeletal muscle strength and appendicular skeletal muscle mass was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Baseline data between MHD patients with and without myasthenia were compared. Logistic regression analysis method was used to analyze the influencing factors for sarcopenia in MHD patients.Results:A total of 125 MHD patients were enrolled, with 68 males (54.4%), age of (59.4±14.9) years and median dialysis age of 51.0(23.5, 101.0) months. Sarcopenia was diagnosed in 39 cases (31.2%). Compared with MHD patients without sarcopenia, age, tumor necrosis factor-α, von Willebrand factor (vWF) and proportion of using α ketones were higher, and serum carbondioxide combining power (CO 2CP), prealbumin, albumin and proportion of regular exercise were lower in MHD patients with sarcopenia (all P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis results showed that low CO 2CP ( OR=0.717, 95% CI 0.576-0.892, P=0.003), high vWF ( OR=1.037, 95% CI 1.016-1.058, P<0.001) and no regular exercise ( OR=0.309, 95% CI 0.118-0.810, P=0.017) were independent influencing factors of sarcopenia in MHD patients. Conclusions:The prevalence of sarcopenia in MHD patients is high. Low CO 2CP, high vWF and no regular exercise are independent influencing factors for sarcopenia in MHD patients.

Site-saturation mutagenesis is a newly-developed technology in protein engineering.By manipulating the encoding genes,it can rapidly obtain the mutants of desired proteins whose target residues are substituted by 19 other common amino acids.Site-saturation mutagenesis could serve not only as a powerful tool in protein engineering,but also as an important method in exploring the structure-function relationship of proteins.Several techniques were summarized to achieve site-saturation mutagenesis and introduce their application status in the protein engineering.The problem and promising future of its application were also discussed.
