Innovation of cultivation mode and concepts for medical English should be suited to the requirements of making university academically outstanding by its individualized school-running,requirements of strengthening distinguished majors as well as needs for qualified medical English graduates.Through combining undergraduate tutorial system of lower grades with undergraduate tutorial system of higher grades,continuing implementing concepts of team cooperation,strengthening holistic education concept and guiding the development of students' individual personality and academic study based on stages,tutors and tutorial team can play their central roles in the training and molding of qualified medical English undergraduates,ultimately realizing the unity of process cultivation and objective cultivation.

Objective To discuss the anti-inflammatory effect and its possible mechanism of different insulin concentration on IκB, NF-κB and TNF-α mRNA in monocytes stimulated by lipopolysaccharide and to detect the key molecule P-Akt in PI3K/ Akt signaling pathway at the cellular level. Methods The peripheral blood (10 ml)is collected from 30 type 2 diabetics (T2DM). Then, the mononuclear cells are centrifugally separated based on density gradient and divided into five different groups:the control (Con)group; the low concentration insulin 100 mU/L(L-Ins)group; the combination of low concentration insulin 100 mU/L and LY-294002 10 μmol/L(L-Ins+LY) group; the high concentration insulin 1000 mU/L (H-Ins) group, The combination of high concentration insulin 1000 mU/L and LY- 294002 10 μmol/L(H-Ins+LY) group. Two subgroups were set in each category. After incubating for 24 hours, the lipopolysaccharide (100 ng/ml)was added and the mononuclear cell culture of peripheral blood was continued. One hour later, the activities of P-Akt, IκBα and NF-κB of one subgroup were detected using western blot; two hours later, monocytes of the other subgroup were collected and the level of TNF-a mRNA was detected using real-time PCR Results Compared with Con group, the expressions of P-Akt and IkB were higher in L-Ins group and H-Ins group (P<0. 05), the expressions of NF-κB and TNF-a mRNA were lower in L-Ins group and H-Ins group (P<0. 05). Compared with L-Ins group, the expressions of P-Akt and IκB were higher in H-Ins group (P<0. 05), but the expressions of NF-κB and TNF-a mRNA were lower (P< 0. 05). Compared with L-Ins + LY group (H-Ins + LY group), the expressions of IκB and P-Akt were higher(P<0. 05)and the expressions of NF-κB and TNF-a mRNA were lower in L-Ins group (H-Ins group)(P<0. 05). Compared with Con group, no significant variations were shown in the expressions of P-Akt, IkB and NF-κB in L-Ins+LY group and H-Ins+LY group (P>0. 05) except for the high expressions of TNF-a mRNA (P<0. 05). There is no significant difference between L-Ins+LY group and H-Ins+LY group (P>0. 05). Conclusion The direct anti-inflammatory effect of insulin is verified in a dose dependent manner. Insulin may regulate the synthesis and secretion of inflammatory cytokines by activating PI3K/Akt pathway, increasing IkB and affecting the state of NF-κB. Insulin may increase the synthesis and secretion of inflammatory cytokines through other pathways when the PI3K/Akt pathway is blocked.
3.The norm of the Physical Activity afterschool Questionnaire for Preschooler (P-PAQ) in urban areas of China
Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(9):1328-1332
Objective:
To establish the norm of the Physical Activity afterschool Questionnaire for Preschooler(P-PAQ) in urban areas of China, so as to provide a basis for graded guidance from the family perspective and to improve children s physical activity levels.
Methods:
From October 2020 to January 2021, 6 267 children aged 3-6 years old were recruited from 40 kindergartens in eight cities across six major administrative regions by stratified cluster sampling, and the P-PAQ initially developed by the researchers of this study were completed by the primary caregivers. The questionnaire was administered to collect data relating to the amount of physical activity undertaken by the preschoolers, and the norm was determined by quartiles. Data relating to parental concepts of sports and parental behavior were assessed by calculating mean scores in order to establish the norm.
Results:
Among preschoolers in urban areas, the M(P 25 ,P 75 ) of total physical activity time (min/day), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity time (min/day), outdoor time (min/day) and screen time (min/day) on school days outside kindergarten and on weekends were 84 (54,120), 22 (8,40), 12 (0,24) and 18 (6,30), and 170 (115,240), 60 (30,95), 90 (35,120) and 30 (20,60), respectively. When the score of parents sports concept and behavior (total score of 40) were≥34, 29-<34, 24-<29, <24, it was defined as four levels about above medium, medium, lower medium and lower, respectively. And for two dimensions,when the score of parental sports concept were ≥19, 17-<19, 15-<17, <15,and the score of parental behaviors were ≥16, 12-<16, 8-<12, <8, it was defined as four levels about upper medium, medium, lower medium and lower, respectively.
Conclusion
The norm of extracurricular activities among preschool children in Chinese cities has good representativeness and appropriate threshold values, which could provide a valuable reference for early assessment, as well as guidance in relation to out-of-school physical activity behaviors among children aged 3-6 years old.
