The concrete methods and experiences for foreign students in case study in the past decades were introduced in this article. We emphasized on teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and step by step, explaining the profound things in a simple way and giving attention to different students' capabilities during teaching. In the practice, we surely felt that case study will bring more advantage than traditional teaching methods, motivate students and improve the capabilities to understand the course content.

Objective To learn the change of serum thymidine Kinase 1(TK1) level in the treatment process of the early cure nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients and its relationship to pathological features .Methods From January 2010 to December 2013 ,35 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were collected into our study ,20 cases of nasopharyngeal inflammation patients were chosen as the control .Serum TK1 level in the 2 groups was compared before and after treatment .Results TK1 in control group had no significant differences before and after treatment (P>0 .05) .Compared with the control group ,serum TK1 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma group were higher before and after radiotherapy (P<0 .05);after radiotherapy ,serums TK1 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma group were lower(P<0 .05) .Before and after radiotherapy ,serum TK1 Ⅰ and Ⅱ stage were lower than in Ⅲ and Ⅳ stager(P<0 .05) ,lymph node metastasis group were higher than no lymph node metastasisr (P<0 .05) ,TK1 had higher expression in TNMⅣ than TNM Ⅱ(P<0 .05) ,compared with lymph node metastasis and cervical nerve violated groups ,TK1 expression was higher in none lymph node metastasis and none cervical nerve violated groups (P<0 .05) .Conclusion TK1 can reflect the tumor load and proliferative activity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma ,which could be as a factor in nasopharyngeal carcinoma diagnosis ,monitoring and prognosis .

Systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) is an autoimmune connective-tissue disorder with a wide range of clinical features.Although the clinical symptoms and immunological findings of pediatric SLE are similar to those of adult SLE patients,the pediatric SLE has some special aspects.In the recent years,although there was no abrupt development in the diagnosis and treatment of SLE,there were some new findings,maybe not mature.On the basis of recent findings outsides,this study drew attention to the advances in the novel clinical manifestation,update treatment of pediatric SLE.

OBJECTIVETo Study the effect of anti-aging and its mechanism of total saponins of Wu-He Dipsacus asper on skin of mice-aging model.

METHODSForty-eight mice were randomly divided into blank control group, model group, low-Dipsacus group, medium-Dipsacus group, high-Dipsacus group and positive control group( n = 8) . The mouse model of skin aging was established by nape subcutaneous injection of 5% D-galactose (0.025 mL/(g · d)), the mouse of low-Dipsacus group, medium-Dipsacus group, high-Dipsacus group were administered with total saponins of Wu-He Dipsacus asper (50 ml/(kg · d), 100 mL/(kg · d), 200 mL/(kg · d)), the mice of the positive control group were administered with vitamin E(50 mg/(kg · d)) for 42 d. The content of hydroxyproline (HYP) and lipofuscin (LF) were measured in skin of each group mice, the activity of catalase (CAT) glutathione peroxidase ( GSH-Px) superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of malondi- aldehyde (MDA) were determined in serum and skin of each group mice.

RESULTSCompared with blank control group, the content of HYP decreased significantly and the content of LF increased significantly in skin, the activities of CAT, GSH-Px and SOD decreased significantly and the content of MDA increased significantly in serum and skin of model group; Compared with model group, the content of HYP increased significantly and the content of LF decreased significantly in skin, the activities of CAT, GSH-Px and SOD enhanced significantly and the con- tent of MDA decreased significantly in serum and skin of low-Dipsacus group, medium-Dipsacus group, high-Dipsacus group and positive control group; Compared with low-Dipsacus group, the content of HYP increased significantly and the content of LF decreased significantly in skin, the activities of CAT, GSH-Px and SOD enhanced significantly and the content of MDA decreased significantly in serum and skin of high-Dipsacus group and positive control group; The activity of SOD in serum and skin had a significant positive correlation with the content of HYP, and a significant negative correlation with LF in skin.

CONCLUSIONTotal saponins of Wu-He Dipsacus asper have obvious effect of anti-agng on skin of mouse-aging model , its mechanism is closely related to oxidative damage.

Objective To investigate the feasibility, safety and effect of gasless laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of benign ovarian tumors during pregnancy. Methods Clinical data of 45 pregnant women with benign ovary tumors undergoing gasless laparoscopic surgery from January 2006 to June 2013 were studied retrospectively.Most of the cases were given oophorocystectomy. Adnexectomy was performed for the large sized lesions, lacking of or remaining few normal ovarian tissue, or ovarian cyst torsion. Results All the 45 cases were successfully treated by gasless laparoscopic surgery.No perioperative and postoperative complications were observed.There were 42 cases receiving ovarian tumor resection while 3 cases receiving simple salpingo-oophorectomy.The mean operation time was (40.7 ±14.9) min (25-90 min), the mean blood loss was (27.3 ±16.6) ml (10 -80 ml), and the mean hospitalization time was (4.5 ±1.3) days (3-8 days).At pre-, peri-, and post-operative time, the blood pH value, blood pressure carbon dioxide (PaCO2), and blood oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) showed no statistical difference (F=0.00,P=0.999;F=2.21, P=0.114;F=0.60,P=0.555), and blood bicarbonate (HCO3-) and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) showed statistical difference but no clinical significance (F=14.96,P=0.000;F=9.45,P=0.999), all of which were in the normal range.The fetal heart rates were all in the normal range.Pathological diagnoses were ovarian mature cystic teratoma in 25 cases (55.6%), serous cystadenoma in 6 cases (13.3%), mucinous cystadenoma in 4 cases (8.9%), mesosalpinx cyst in 3 cases (6.7%), endometrial cyst in 2 cases (4.4%), and luteal cyst in 5 cases (11.1%).No spontaneous abortion was found in post-operational follow-up.Term delivery was obtained in 43 cases, with normal fetal weight and the Apgar scores.Two cases gave up the pregnancy in the postoperative period. Conclusion Gasless laparoscopic surgery for benign ovarian tumors during pregnancy is safe and feasible.

Objective To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of a rapid one-step test for the detection of Helicobacter pylori antigen in stool samples. Methods 13C-urea breath test (13C-UBT) and rapid urease being taken as “gold standard”, Helicobacter pylori stool antigen (HpSA) was detected with Atlas rapid one-step test among patients with syndromes in upper alimentary tract. These patients were divided into two groups. One was pretreatment group that included 62 cases and the other one was post-treatment group with 42 cases. Results In pretreat_ment group, there were 24 Hp positive cases and 38 negative ones according to the golden standard, 27 positive and 35 negative according to one-step HpSA assay, and the sensitivity and specificity was 100% and 92% respectively; In post-treatment group, 15 positive and 27 negative according to the golden standard, 19 positive and 23 negative according to one-step HpSA assay, and the sensitivity and specificity 93%and 81% respectively; the total sensitivity and specificity was 97% and 88% respectively. Conclusions HpSA rapid one-step test has good sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of Hp infection and judgment of Hp eradication.
