Objective:To systematically review the teaching effect of problem-based learning (PBL) combined with evidence-based medicine (EBM) teaching mode on the standardized residency training.Methods:CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database, SinoMed, Embase, PubMed and Web of SCI databases were searched, and the randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies of the application of EBM combined with PBL teaching in standardized residency training were collected. The retrieval time was from the establishment to 1st July, 2018. Two investigators independently extracted data and assessed the quality of the studies. After assessing the risk of bias of included studies, Meta-analysis was performed on RevMan 5.3.Results:In total, 4 studies were included in the review. Narrative assessment was adopted, because outcome indicators of these study were varied and the quality of the literatures could not meet the requirement of Meta-analysis. Our study suggested that the residents who were in PBL combined with EBM teaching mode group got higher scores in the standardized residency training, compared with those in the lecture-based learning (LBL) teaching mode group, especially in case analysis score, total score of examination, improvement of clinical thinking ability, communication and expression ability, organization and cooperation ability, etc.Conclusion:The current evidence suggests that the application of EBM combined with PBL teaching mode has a positive effect on the standardized residency training. Compared with the traditional LBL teaching, EBM can improve students' ability. However, limited by the quantity and quality of included studies, the above conclusions still need to be verified by more studies with larger samples and higher quality.

:To explore the value of quantitative perfusion histogram parameters of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in pathological classification of uterine leiomyoma and its correlation with Ki-67 protein expression. Thirty five patients with uterine leiomyoma confirmed by operation and pathology at Shaoxing People's Hospital from October 2015 to September 2017 were analyzed retrospectively,including 15 cases of ordinary type,8 cases of cellular type and 12 cases of degenerative type. All patients were examined by pelvic DCE-MRI before operation,and the histogram parameters (median,mean,skewness,kurtosis,energy,entropy) of various quantitative perfusion parameters,including volume transport constant (K),rate constant (K),extravascular extracellular space distribute volume per unit tissue volume (V),blood plasma volume per unit volume of tissue (V) were calculated,and the efficacy of different parameters in pathological classification of uterine leiomyoma was evaluated by ROC curve. The expression of Ki-67 protein in uterine leiomyoma was detected by immunohistochemical method,and the correlation between histogram parameters and Ki-67 protein expression was analyzed by Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis. The median and mean values of K,K,V and V in the cellular group were higher than those in the degenerative group and the ordinary group(<0.05 or <0.01),while the skewness of V,the skewness and kurtosis of K in the cellular group were lower than those in the ordinary group (all <0.05). The entropy of K in the cellular group was higher than that in the degenerative group and the ordinary group (all < 0.05). The entropy of V in the cellular group was higher than that in the ordinary group (<0.01). The median,mean,skewness of K,median and mean of K,median and mean of V,median,mean,energy and entropy of V were correlated with Ki-67 expression(all <0.05). The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the median threshold of K was 0.994/min,the sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of cellular uterine leiomyoma were 100.0% and 77.8% respectively,and the area under the ROC curve was 0.949. When the mean threshold of K was 1.170/min,the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing cellular uterine leiomyoma were 100.0% and 77.8% respectively,and the area under the ROC curve was 0.958. The area under the ROC curve of K (entropy),K (median,mean),V (median,mean,entropy) in the diagnosis of cellular uterine leiomyoma were 0.755-0.907. :DCE-MRI quantitative perfusion histogram parameters have high diagnostic value in differentiating pathological types of uterine leiomyoma,especially for cellular uterine leiomyoma.

The mPing family is the first active MITE TE family identified in rice genome. In order to compare the compositions and distributions of mPing family in the genomes of two rice subspecies japonica (cv. Nipponbare) and indica (cv. 93-11), we initially estimated the copy numbers of mPing family in those two subspecies using Southern blot and then confirmed the results by searching homologous copies in each reference genome using Blastn program, which turned out to have 52 and 14 mPing copies in corresponding reference genome, respectively. All mPing members in Nipponbare genome belong to mPing-1, while there are 3 mPing-1 and 11 mPing-2 copies in 93-11 genome. By further investigating the 5-kb flanking sequences of those mPing copies, it was found that 23 and 3 protein-coding genes in Nipponbare and 93-11 genome are residing adjacent to those mPing copies respectively. These results establish the preliminary theoretical foundation for further dissecting the genetic differences of japonica and indica rice in terms of the diversities and distributions of their component mPing.

DNA methylation is an important type of epigenetic modification in eukaryotes. In order to research genome-wide methylation levels and patterns in foxtail millet (Setaria italica), the Methylation Sensitive Amplified Polymorphism (MSAP) analysis (employing double digestion with EcoR I and Hpa II/Msp I) was established and applied in two foxtail millet cultivars (Chaogu 58 and Yugu 1). The results showed that 32 pairs of MSAP primers were selected from 100 MSAP primers, and 1 615 and 1 482 clearly distinguishable and reproducible bands were amplified from Chaogu 58 and Yugu 1 respectively, including 3 types of methylation patterns. Cytosine methylation levels of CCGG context in Chaogu 58 and Yugu 1 were characterized as 6.93% and 8.77% respectively. Such different genomic DNA methylation levels between two foxtail millet varieties may provide a preliminary reference for the cultivation of this crop from a novel epigenetic viewpoint.
