Six years' English teaching in department of obstetrics and gynecology in Wenzhou Medical College were reviewed. Language and cultural differences are the main reasons hindering teaching quality. Rational use of a variety of teachers,preparing for lessons adequately,adoption of English image data,supplying and revising English teaching materials,using network auxiliary teaching and forming ef-fective education mode are conducive to improving English teaching quality in department of obstetrics and gynecology for foreign students.

Objective To investigate the expression of RECK gene in placentas of patients with preeclampsia and its correlation with MMP-2 activation,and explore the possible roles of RECK gene in the placental trophoblast invasion mechanism.Methods RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of RECK mRNA and protein respectively in the placental tissues of normal late pregnant women (normal pregnant group,22 cases) and pre-eclamptic patients(22 mild cases and 20 severe cases).Gelatinase zymography was used to determine MMP-2 activation ratio.Results The expression levels of RECK mRNA and protein from placenta tissues in mild,severe pre-eclamptic group were both significantly higher than those in nomal pregnant group.Moreover,the expression levels of RECK mRNA and protein in severe pre-eclamptic group were obviously increased as compared with those in mild pre-eclamptic group.There was significant difference among the three groups (all P<0.01).MMP-2 activation ratio in mild,severe pre-eclamptic group was significantly lower than that in normal pregnant group.MMP-2 activation ratio in severe pre-eclamptie groups was obviously reduced as compared with mild pre-eclamptic group.There was significant difference among the three groups(all P<0.01).The expression leVels of RECK mRNA and protein were significantly negatively correlated with MMP-2 activation ratio (both P<0.01).Conclusion The abnormal high expression of RECK and inhibition of MMP-2 activation in placentas of pre-eclamptic patients may participate in the process of placental trophoblast shallow invasion.

Objective To investigate the association between rs1013940 in SLC5A7 and Tourette Syndrome ( TS) in Chinese Han population.Methods Polymorphism was genotyped in 401 TS nuclear fam-ilies trios from china by real-time fluorescent quantitive PCR.Transmission disequilibrium test ( TDT) and Haplotype relative risk ( HRR ) were used to analyze the association between the genetic distrbution of rs1013940 and TS and the results were verified by haplotype-based haplotype relative risk( HHRR) .Results No transmission disequilibrium was found between rs1013940 in SLC5A7 and TS by TDT and HRR( TDT:χ2=0.268, P=0.657, OR=0.728,95%CI=0.366-1.451;HRR:χ2=0.111, P=0.739, OR=0.959,95%CI=0.762-1.466) .HHRR also indicated the same result ( HHRR:χ2=0.276, P=0.599, OR=1.082,95%CI=0.806-1.453) .Conclusion The result reveals that there is no significant association between rs1013940 in SLC5A7 and TS in Chinese Han population.However,the results need to be further validated in different populations.

Objective:
To analyze the clinical characteristics of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children under five years of age and analyze the safety and efficiency of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) ventilation for CAP in this population.
Method:
This was a prospective multicenter study. Children who were admitted to these six centers with CAP and met the NCPAP ventilation indications, aged from 29 d to 5 years, were continuously included during November 2013 to October 2015. The baseline data were collected and NCPAP ventilation were then followed up by operation standards, and the vital signs and arterial blood gas change at special time points were observed and recorded. Any side effect associated with NCPAP were recorded. For categorical variables, comparisons were performed using Fisher test. Rank-sum test and
