Clinical thoughts based on symptoms, physical signs and examine outcomes is a process of analysis, judgement and conclusion of disease diagnosis. To cultivate an exact thinking model can avoid taking a part for the whole or a miss in disease analysis, so to cultivate clinical thoughts in clinical practice can elevate medical students'clinical skills.

Objective:To reflect the training of basic-level medical stuff by investigating the doctor-patient cognition status of patients in a county-level hospital.Methods:The questionnaire of 180 patients collected from a county hospital in Shaanxi province was analyzed by Rank sum test and Descriptive analysis with SPSS17.0.ReSults:There were no statistically significant differences in the evaluation of current doctor-patient relationship from patients of different ages,occupations and degrees of education (P ＞ 0.05).82.2％ of the patients believed that the doctor-patient relationship is harmonious or somewhat harmonious.Moreover although the patient's trust in doctors is not high,there is a certain sense of recognition;and they put forward some expectation and requirements on doctor's professional skills,communication skills and professionalism.Conclusion:Considering the patients' feedback,local medical colleges and universities should reflect medical education ideas,play an active synergy model in the training of students' professional skills.In the meantime,they should strengthen the medical internship management,while paying equal attention to enhance students' responsibility and professionalism to serve the grassroots.

Applying the principle of Evidence-Based Medicine to the clinical teaching,we have made the students raise the cognition level on the diagnose of diseases and treating policy and trained their clinical logic thinking ability.

OBJECTIVE: Comparison of operation of epitympanic/antrum cholesteatoma excised by endoscopy and microscope. METHOD: Eleven patients with epitympanic/antrum cholesteatoma were analysed, 5 cases were excised by endoscopy and 6 cases were excised under microscope. RESULT: No complication occurred after operation and all patients got dried ear. There were no difference in hearing recovery and closure of perforation of tympanic membrane between two group. The operation time, injury degree, length of stay in hospital and hospitalization expense with endoscopy was superior to that of microscope. CONCLUSION Considering financial constraints of patients, resection of epitympanic/antrum cholesteatoma cholesteatoma can be adopted by endoscopy.

BACKGROUND:Extracel ular vesicles (EVs) are a kind of subcel ular component produced by paracine mechanism including exosomes, microparticles and microvesicles, which have become hotspots in recent years. OBJECTIVE:To review the research status and progress of EVs, especial y in the studies about definition, secreting mechanism, isolation and identification, biological characteristics and functions in diseases as wel as in biomedical research. METHODS:The first author retrieved PubMed and CNKI databases for relative articles published from July 2006 to August 2016. The keywords were“extracel ular vesicles, exosome, microvesicle, microparticle”in English and Chinese, respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 44 eligible literatures are enrol ed. Almost al cel s can secrete EVs, which contain a variety of metrocyte-derived bioactive molecules, such as lipids, proteins, mRNAs, microRNA, lncRNA, cicrRNA, and non-coding RNA. These bioactive molecules are encapsulated in EVs or binding with the membrane. EVs are described to be involved in inflammation, immunity, signal transduction, cel survival and apoptosis, angiogenesis, thrombogenesis, and autophagy, which are of great significance to the maintenance of homeostasis and disease progression. Special EVs may be used as new biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of many diseases and serve as novel tools in the fields of antitumor therapy, regenerative medicine, immunoregulation and vaccination and drug delivery. But the molecular mechanisms regulating the secretion of EVs and the specific pathways activated upon EVs interaction with the target cel are not ful y understood. Based on miRNA, lncRNA and circRNA are attracting researchers’ attention.

Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dys-regulated host response to infection and septic myocardial depression (SMD) is a common complication. Pathogenesis of SMD is complicated and there is lack of specific treatment. Mitochondrial damage is an important pathological basis of SMD, and mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) plays an important role in maintaining the normal structure and function of the mitochondria. The change of MPTP during sepsis is summarized in this review so as to reveal the significant mechanism of MPTP in the occurrence of SMD.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)is the most common progressive liver disease worldwide.Currently,there is no satisfy-ing treatment for NAFLD.Research progress in fatty acid bile acid conjugates (FABACs)and ursodeoxycholyl lysophosphatidylethanolamide (UDCA-LPE),which are two novel liver targeted drugs with anti-NAFLD effects,is reviewed.FABACs,which reduce liver fat in pa-tients with NAFLD induced by high-fat diet by regulating lipid metabolism,have been proved effective in preventing and treating NAFLD. The safety and efficacy of FABACs in NAFLD patients have been confirmed in a phase II,randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled trial.UDCA-LPE can not only reduce liver fat in NAFLD patients,but also inhibit mitochondrial damage and apoptosis and promote hepa-tocyte regeneration,with a marked anti-inflammatory effect during the development of NAFLD.Therefore,FABACs and UDCA-LPE hold promise for preventing and treating NAFLD.
