Objective:To investigate the importance, satisfaction and influencing factors of college students in a medical university, and to provide reference for the teaching reform of public elective courses.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted in this study among Batch 2018 students of Southern Medical University. A total of 691 questionnaires were distributed and 674 valid ones were recovered. The data were analyzed descriptively, and one-way ANOVA analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were carried out by using SPSS 20.0.Results:There were statistical differences between students' objective of elective course, evaluation of teachers, evaluation of courses and harvest of courses and students' satisfaction and attention to public elective courses ( P<0.05). Students who chose courses for improving their comprehensive quality paid more attention to public courses [(4.3±0.73) points] and had higher satisfaction [(4.34±0.69) points] than other options. Students with good evaluation on teachers' teaching paid more attention to public elective courses [(4.32±0.71) points] and their satisfaction [(4.45±0.62) points] was higher than other options. Students with good evaluation on the courses had the highest degree of attention [(4.35±0.71) points] and satisfaction [(4.47±0.63) points]. Students paid the highest attention [(4.75±0.53)points] to and had the highest satisfaction [(4.85±0.36) points] with the public elective courses with more course harvest. The multiple linear regression analysis found that the 5 variables, gender, teaching forms, teaching evaluation, course quality and course harvest had significant differences in the scores of public elective course satisfaction ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The male students, in inquiry teaching form, the higher evaluation on the teacher, the higher the course quality, and the more the course harvest, the higher the students' satisfaction with the public elective courses.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of combined detection of ALK fusion gene and c?ros oncogene 1 receptor tyrosine kinase ( ROS1) fusion gene in non?small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) using real?time fluorescent PCR. Methods A kit for combined detection of ALK fusion gene and ROS1 fusion gene based on fluorescent PCR was used to simultaneously detect the two fusion genes in 302 cases of NSCLC specimens. The results were validated through Sanger sequencing. The consistency of the two detection methods was analyzed. Results All 302 cases of NSCLC specimens were successfully analyzed through fluorescent PCR (302/302). 12 cases (4.0%) were found to contain ALK fusion gene, including 3 cases with ALK?M1, 3 with ALK?M2, 3 with ALK?M3, 1 with ALK?M4, and 2 with ALK?M6 fusion gene. 12 cases (4.0%) were found to contain ROS1 fusion gene, including 1 case with ROS1?M7, 8 cases with ROS1?M8,1 case with ROS1?M12,1 case with ROS1?M14,and 1 case with double?positive ROS1?M3 and ROS1?M8 fusion genes. The total detection rate of ALK fusion gene and ROS1 fusion gene was 7. 9%(24/302) and 278 cases showed to be negative for ALK fusion gene and ROS1 fusion gene. The successful detection rates for Sanger DNA sequencing were also 100%. The positive, negative and total coincidence rates obtained by real?time fluorescent PCR and by Sanger DNA sequencing were all 100%. Conclusions The results of Sanger DNA sequencing demonstrate that the real?time fluorescent PCR assay is equally effective in detecting ALK and ROS1 fusion genes in NSCLC tissues. Furthermore, real?time fluorescent PCR assay can be used to detect trace ALK and ROS1 fusion gene simultaneously in tiny samples, and can save time and avoid repeated sampling. It is worthy of recommendation as a rapid and reliable detection technique.
