Raising students'divergent thinking should be combined with the whole college education.But for the medical students,it is more vital to realize the importance of divergent thinking,make full use of education resources in university,consciously urge themselves to break through the limits of routines,develop their divergent thinking and make various measures to reinforce the self-education of divergent thinking.

Objective To explore the gene diagnosis of Gitelman syndrome.Methods The clinical data of a child with Gitelman syndrome were retrospectively analyzed along with gene detection results of his elder sister and parents.Results A 6-year-old boy was hospitalized for fever and hypokalemia.Gene detection of SLC12A found a new locus mutation of EXON21 c.2522A＞G p.(Asp841Gly) and a heterozygosis of EXON16 c.1946C＞T p.(Thr649Met).The diagnosis of Gitelman syndrome was confirmed.His mother carried a heterozygosis mutation of EXON21 c.2522A＞G p.(Asp841Gly),while his father and elder sister carried a heterozygosis mutation of EXON16 c.1946C＞T p.(Thr649Met).Conclusion Gene detection of SLC12A is helpful in the diagnosis of Gitelman syndrome.The newly discovered mutation of SLC12A3 gene has enriched the mutation spectrum of Gitelman syndrome.

Age-related macular degeneration ( AMD ) is one of a leading worldwide cause of blindness. AMD is a multifactorial disease, and major risk factors include increasing age, current smoking, previous cataract surgery, environmental factors, nutritional factors, genetic markers through genetic regulate complement, lipid, angiogenesis and extracellular matrix. In addition to treatment, epidemiology, risk factors and genetics research of AMD have been significantly progressed. This article will review risk factors of AMD.

OBJECTIVETo explore the improvement of hand motion function,spasm and self-care ability of daily life for stroke patients treated with floating-needle combined with rehabilitation training.

METHODSEighty hand spasm patients of post-stroke within one year after stroke were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 40 cases in each one. In the two groups, rehabilitation was adopted for eight weeks,once a day,40 min one time. In the observation group, based on the above treatment and according to muscle fascia trigger point, 2~3 points in both the internal and external sides of forearm were treated with floating-needle. The positive or passive flexion and extension of wrist and knuckle till the relief of spasm hand was combined. The floating-needle therapy was given for eight weeks, on the first three days once a day and later once every other day. Modified Ashworth Scale(MAS), activity of daily life(ADL, Barthel index) scores and Fugl-Meyer(FMA) scores were used to assess the spasm hand degree,activity of daily life and hand motion function before and after 7-day, 14-day and 8-week treatment.

RESULTSAfter 7-day, 14-day and 8-week treatment, MAS scores were apparently lower than those before treatment in the two groups(all P<0. 05), and Barthel scores and FMA scores were obviously higher than those before-treatment(all P<0. 05). After 14-day and 8-week treatment, FMA scores in the observation group were markedly higher than those in the control group(both P<0. 05).

CONCLUSIONFloating-needle therapy combined with rehabilitation training and simple rehabilitation training could both improve hand spasm degree, hand function and activity of daily life of post-stroke patients, but floating-needle therapy combined with rehabilitation training is superior to simple rehabilitation training for the improvement of hand function.
