Objective To evaluate the application effect of‘incorrect cases’in medical statis-tics teaching. Methods The junior students (n=307)of clinical medicine were selected as research subjects by random cluster sampling. They were divided into the teaching improving group (n=151) who accepted case teaching and control group (n=156)who accepted traditional teaching. At the end of the term,the teaching effect was surveyed by questionnaires and compared between the two groups. Measurement data was analyzed by t test,enumeration data by χ2 test and ranked data by rank sum test. Results Students' interests of medical statistics and understanding the importance of the course in teaching improving group were significantly higher than that in control group (Z=-2.375,P=0.018;Z=-2.971,P=0.003). The proportion of students with learning difficulties in teaching improving group was obviously lower than that in control group (Z=-2.488,P=0.013). The satisfaction with theory and practical teaching in teaching improving group (84.10% and 88.74%,respectively)was significantly higher that in control group (73.08%and 71.79%,respectively)(χ2=5.530,P=0.013;χ2=13.841,P<0.001). Although no difference was observed in the test score between the two groups (t=1.230,P=0.220),knowledge of parameter estimation,hypothesis testing and science research design in teach-ing improving group was significantly higher than that in control group (χ2=6.829,P=0.009;χ2=5.835, P=0.016). Conclusions Application of ‘incorrect cases’in medical statistics teaching could arouse students' learning interests and improve clinical medical students' comprehensive analy sis ability of medical statistics.

Objective To study the effects of rehabilitation training on the expression of Nogo-A around the area of cerebral infraction using rats. Methods A total of 60 Wistar rats were randomly divided into a reha- bilitation group and a control group after an experimental cerebral infarction had been established in them. The ani- mals in the rehabilitation group were given exercise with a rotating bar, a balance beam and a rolling cage for one hour daily, while those in the control group were caged without any abnormal exercise. Nogo-A expression in the ar- ea surrounding the infarcts was detected by imunohistochemical techniques at the 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day after infarction. Meanwhile, neurobehavioral evaluations were also conducted. Results The animals in the rehabilitation group scored much lower than the controls in the behavioral evaluations at the 14th, 21st and 28th day. The expression of Nogo-A in tissues around the infracted area increased by the 7th day and peaked at the 21st day in both groups, but the expression of Nogo-A was significantly stronger in the rehabilitation group at the 14th, 21st and 28th days. Conclusion Rehabilitation training decreased the expression of Nogo-A in the brain of rats after infarction. This may have important implications for the functional recovery of the central nervous system.
