Objective:To investigate the impact of simulator-multidisciplinary treatment (MDT)-problem-based learning (PBL) integrated teaching on the quality of clinical internship teaching in the Gynecology Department.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 86 clinical interns in the Gynecology Department who completed one month of internship at Xijing Hospital, Air Force Medical University from May 2021 to May 2022. The interns who received routine teaching from May to October 2021 were enrolled into control group ( n=43), and those who received simulator-MDT-PBL integrated teaching from November 2021 to May 2022 were enrolled into observation group ( n=43). The two groups were compared for differences in professional abilities (measured by Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale [RIPLS]), humanistic care ability (measured by humanistic care ability scale), critical thinking ability (measured by critical thinking disposition inventory-Chinese version [CTDI-CV]), and autonomous learning ability (measured by college student autonomous learning scale) after one month of teaching. The chi-square test and t-test were conducted using SPSS 19.0. Results:The two groups showed significantly increases in RIPLS scores [team collaboration: (38.45±6.72) vs. (36.39±5.65); professional identity: (28.11±5.85) vs. (26.43±5.33); role responsibilities: (10.83±1.24) vs. (9.52±1.46)], humanistic care ability scale scores [understanding: (68.73±8.15) vs. (61.55±8.93); patience: (53.45±6.03) vs. (49.57±6.74); encouragement: (56.83±7.24) vs. (52.75±7.46)], and all dimensions of CTDI-CV scale and college student autonomous learning scale, with all scores higher in the observation group than in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The simulator-MDT-PBL integrated teaching can help improve the professional ability, humanistic care ability, critical thinking ability, and autonomous learning ability of clinical interns in the Gynecology Department, thus improving the quality of clinical internship teaching in the Gynecology Department.

Aim To explore the effect and mechanism of the artesunate(ART)on hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods The cell lines MHCC-97H and HCC-LM3 were used to be detected.MTT and clone formation were used to determine the cell proliferation;Wound healing was used to detect the cell migration;Transwell was used to test the cell invasion.Flow-cy-tometry was used to detect cell apoptosis and cell cy-cle.RNA-seq and qRT-PCR was used to detect the genes expression.Results The proliferation,migra-tion and invasion of treated cells were obviously inhibi-ted(P<0.01).Moreover,the apoptosis rate in-creased significantly,so did the proportion of G2/M cells.Transcriptomic analysis identified GADD45A as a potential target of ART through RNA-sequencing da-ta,and suggested that ART might induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest through regulating the expression of GADD45A.In addition,the results of mechanism studies and signaling analysis suggested that GADD45A had interaction with its upstream gene NACC1(nucle-us accumbens associated 1).Moreover,after ART treatment,the expressions of GADD45A and NACC1 were changed significantly.Conclusion ART may be a potential drug to resist HCC by affecting the expres-sion of GADD45A and its upstream gene NACC1,which provides a new drug,a new direction and a new method for the clinical treatment of HCC.
