Addressing global health education,cultivating global health professionals is the trend of medical education.Based on the definition of global health,this paper introduces the practices of global health education in the world,especially in Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine,Harvard Medical School and Weill Cornell Medical College.It also gives a brief introduction of Interprofessional Global Health Competencies for 21st-Century Health Professionals by CUGH,to promote the global health education in China.

Objective:To provide reference for clinical pharmacist in the treatment of severe bone marrow suppression complicated with infection induced by chemotherapeutic drugs .Methods:The pharmaceutical care was performed by clinical pharmacist for a pa-tient with severe bone marrow suppression complicated with pulmonary infection caused by chemotherapy .The suggestions on the drug use in the evaluation of chemotherapy regimen and the treatment of bone marrow suppression and infection were provided .Results:The bone marrow inhibition was relieved , the pulmonary infection was improved , and no other severe adverse reactions were shown .Con-clusion:Clinical pharmacist can improve effectiveness and safety in the treatment of patients with severe bone marrow suppression by providing individualized drug treatment .

ObjectiveTo investigate the teaching effect of problem-based learning(PBL) in clinical probation of gynecology and obstetrics.Methods48 students who majored in obstetrics and took internship in Xiamen Maternity and Child Care Hospital were selected as study subjects and were randomly assigned to control group and observation group.Traditional teaching pattern and PBL were performed in the above-mentioned groups respectively.The score of final test on maternity nursing and self-evaluation on capacity advancement were compared between two groups.ResultsThe score of observation group were significantly higher than control group (P＜0.05); Similarly,the self-evaluation of observation group after internship was also elevated with significance (P＜0.05) when being compared with control group.ConclusionEvidence showed that PBL was capable of improving the knowledge of maternity nursing,and it was also been proved effective in fostering the ability of self-learning,communication,and solving problem.Therefore,the PBL was appropriate to be promoted in the internship of nursing education.

As an element of tort liability,negligence is the main form of fault in medical tort.The essence of negligence is disobeying "the duty of care".So,understanding "the duty of care" correctly is very important in the judgement of medical tort.

Objective: To study the treatment of experimental lung metastasis by intratracheal injection of IL 18 gene recombinant adenovirus. Methods: (1)The mouse IL 18 mRNA was detected by RT PCR, the concentrations of IL 18, associated cytokines in lung lavage and blood were determined by ELISA at different times after intratracheal injection of IL 18 recombinant adenovirus. (2)The lung metastasis nodes, mouse survival period, survival rates were investigated in the treatment of experimental lung metastasis in C57BL/6 mouse model. The NK activity and CTL activity were determined by 51 Cr 4 h release method. Results: (1)The IL 18 mRNA could be detected in lung tissue 6 h after intratracheal use of IL 18 recombinant adenovirus, and the concentrations of IL 18 in lung lavage was higher than that of peripheral blood, and both IL 18 mRNA and IL 18 could not be detected in control groups. (2)Intratracheal use of IL 18 recombinant adenovirus had significant therapeutic effect on experimental lung metastasis with the results of increased CTL and NK activity, and with longer survival period and higher survival rates compared with the control groups. Conclusion: Intratracheal usage of adenovirus vector containing IL 18 gene has therapeutic effect on the lung metastasis, denoting that gene therapy of lung diseases can be done through airway directly with recombinant adenovirus.

OBJECTIVE:To prevent and reduce the occurrence of hospital onset of infection of fungus in our hospi-tal.METHODS:The case history of patients with fungus infection in our hospital during the period from October2002to September2004were consulted and analyzed.RESULTS:Of the107patients with fungus infection in our hospital,72%of whom were above the age of60;the predilection sites were respiratory tract which accounted for81.3%,digestive which ac-counted for14.0%and urinary tract which accounted for10.3%;the main pathogenic bacteria were Candida albicans which accounted for92.5%of the total.All of the infected people were found to have used broad-spectrum antibiotics in a large quantity and some had used corticoid drugs.CONCLUSION:Rational drug use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and corticoid is an important means to prevent hospital onset of infection of fungus.
