Objective To investigate the teaching effectiveness of preventive medicine and ask the students for feedback on the curriculum in order to reform the teaching methods.Methods Questionnaire survey.Sampling survey.Results 89.2% of students have realized the importance of preventive medicine.Respectively 16.4% and 7.5% of students have no interesting on the curriculum due to teachers'matter and students' idea that the course is uselessness for their major and future career.75.1% of students are interest in Nutrition and Food Hygiene,35.2% of students dislike Medical Statistics,and 45.3% of students think the most tough part is Medical Statistics.78.9% of students wish to have more practice lessons.30.5% of students do not ask teachers questions because of no communication with teachers after class.Conclusions Preventive Medicine is still ignored by a few students.The more tough the content is,the less interest the students have. Repeatedly emphasizing the importance of Preventive Medicine in medical education,adopting and combining with the community practical cases in class lectures and frequently communicating between teachers and students after class are suggested.

Objective:To study the effect of pig interleukin 2(IL 2) eukaryon expression plasmid on cellular immune responses of BALB/c mice immuned with pcDNA PRRSV ORF5 DNA vaccine.Methods:BALB/c mice were immunized with pcDNA PRRSV ORF5 DNA vaccine and pig interleukin 2(IL 2) eukaryon expression plasmid by the routes of co injection and DNA vaccine injection alone respectively, with PBS and pcDNA3 1(+) as controls. Fluoresecence Activated Cell Sorter(FACS),T lymphocyte proliferation test(MTT) were used to detect the number of CD4 +、CD8 + and the T lymphocyte proliferation in peripheral blood of mice vaccinated.Results:ConA response of T lymphocytes in blood was higher in experiment group than the control group ( P
3.A scoping review of health literacy interventions for type 2 diabetes patients
Chinese Journal of Nursing 2024;59(19):2420-2426
Objective This scoping review evaluates health literacy interventions for Type 2 diabetes patients,so as to provide a reference for further improvement of health literacy intervention programmes for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods Based on the Nutbeam health literacy theory as the framework,the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database,CNKI,Wanfang Database,VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database,PubMed,CINAHL,MEDLINE,and Web of Science were searched for related studies by scope review.The search time limit was from the establishment of the databases to November 21,2023,and the relevant information such as intervention methods,intervention content,evaluation indicators and other relevant information of the included literature was extracted.Results A total of 15 articles were included,including 10 randomized controlled studies,4 quasi-experimental studies,and 1 experimental plan.4 studies were based on the ability,opportunity,motivation and behavior model,theory of planned behavior,Nutbeam health literacy theory and social cognitive theory and behavior stage change model,respectively.The intervention levels of the 11 studies involved functional and interactive levels,with less emphasis on the critical levels.The intervention methods were one-to-one intervention,group-focused intervention or one-to-one combined with group-focused intervention.The health literacy of 15 studies was evaluated by self-designed questionnaire,Functional,Interactive and Critical Health Literacy Scale,and Adult Functional Health Literacy Test Scale series questionnaire.Conclusion Existing interventions effectively enhance functional and interactive health literacy but have limitations in addressing critical literacy.While meeting basic needs,they do not significantly develop higher-level skills.Further research is needed to personalize interventions and improve critical health literacy.

Objective:
This study’s objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of Pulsed Magnetic Therapy System (PMTS) in improving insomnia disorder.
Methods:
Participants with insomnia disorder were randomly assigned to receive either PMTS or sham treatment for four weeks (n= 153; PMTS: 76, sham: 77). Primary outcomes are the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) scores at week 0 (baseline), 1, 2, 3, 4 (treatment), and 5 (follow-up). Secondary outcomes are the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index at baseline and week 4, and weekly sleep diary-derived values for sleep latency, sleep efficiency, real sleep time, waking after sleep onset, and sleep duration.
Results:
The ISI scores of the PMTS group and the sham group were 7.13±0.50, 11.07±0.51 at week 4, respectively. There was a significant group×time interaction for ISI (F3.214, 485.271=24.25, p<0.001, ηp 2=0.138). Only the PMTS group experienced continuous improvement throughout the study; in contrast, the sham group only experienced a modest improvement after the first week of therapy. At the end of the treatment and one week after it, the response of the PMTS group were 69.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 58.6%–79.0%), 75.0% (95% CI: 64.1%–83.4%), respectively, which were higher than the response of the sham group (p<0.001). For each of the secondary outcomes, similar group×time interactions were discovered. The effects of the treatment persisted for at least a week.
Conclusion
PMTS is safe and effective in improving insomnia disorders.
