Objective To explore the current training programs for preventive medicine undergrad-uates in China's colleges and universities, so as to provide more clues for further optimizing the training program. Methods Twelve colleges and universities were selected in accordance with the stratification of 985, 211 and general colleges and universities and their training programs for preventive medicine under-graduates were collected in February, 2016. By comparing with the requirements of "The directory and introduction of undergraduate courses in colleges and universities (2012)" and the spirit of the second round of "undergraduate teaching evaluation of higher education institutions", training programs were described; t test and multivariate analysis of variance were used to compare differences among different levels of colleges and universities;SPSS 21.0 was used for statistical processing. Results In some colleges and universities, training programs were still not concrete and the setting of three common core courses (Health Education, Health Service Management and Women's Health Science) did not meet the require-ments of the new directory of 2012. All selected colleges and universities had established their standards of the minimum curricular credits ( including course system and internship practical training ) which were(245.33±27.01) credits. In course system, the required course and the elective course were (176.25±18.46) credits, (26.62±12.68) credits, respectively. The percentage of preventive medicine in required courses was relatively lower, only (21.99 ±3.50)%. In internship and practical training, the clinical practice and the specialty practice were (20.00 ±5.13) weeks, (27.33 ±7.78) weeks, taking (16.46 ±7.75) credits, (23.50 ± 9.86) credits, respectively. No differences were found in courses setting, credits distribution among 985, 211 and general universities and colleges, all P>0.05. Conclusion There still exist problems: training pro-grams are not concrete and the training system cannot fully reflect training objectives in some colleges and universities, needing to be further standardized and improved.

Objective To assess the factors that influence the accuracy of real-time continuous glucose monitoring system (RT-CGM).Methods A total of 79 diabetic patients wore RT-CGM for three days continuously while calibrating by interphalangeal glucose values 4-8 times a day.We counted matching rate of interphalangeal glucose values and RT-CGM probe value,and analyzed correlation of the matching rate with MAGE,SDBG,MBG,AUC10,AUC3.9,and NGE by Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.Then we grouped corresponding match rate by MAGE and MBG,compared the difference among groups.Furthermore,we analyzed correlation of RT-CGM probe values of all-day,fasting-postprandial,and nighttime and the corresponding interphalangeal glucose values by Pearson correlation analysis.Results Pearson correlation analysis showed that the matching rate was negatively correlated with the MAGE,SDBG,MBG,and AUC10.MAGE,MBG,and NGE were in the regression equation.MAGE <3.9 mmol/L,matching rate was 81%,3.9 ≤ MAGE<7 mmol/L,matching rate was 67%,MAGE≥7 mmol/L,the matching rate was 52%,the difference among 3 groups was statistically significant (P<0.01).MBG<7.8 mmol/L,matching rate was 78%,7.8 ≤ MBG< 10 mmol/L,matching rate was 68%,MBG ≥10 mmol/L,the matching rate was 57%,the difference among 3 groups was statistically significant (P < 0.01).When Youden index was 0.409 and MAGE was less than 3.745 mmol/L,the match rate was more than 75%.When Youden index was 0.369 and MBG was less than 8.38 mmol/L,the matching rate was more than 75%.The correlation coefficients of all day,fasting,postprandial and nighttime probe values and the corresponding interphalangeal glucose values were 0.958,0.963,0.944,and 0.965 (all P<0.01).Conclusions The probe values show good consistency with the interphalangeal glucose values,are able to be used for blood glucose assessment.Blood glucose fluctuations influences accuracy of RT-CGM,the smaller the blood glucose fluctuations,the smaller the mean glucose concentration,the smaller the effective blood glucose fluctuations in frequency,the higher would be the accuracy.It seems to be more effective to do calibration during fasting and nighttime.
