Objective:To explore the application value of problem-based learning (PBL) combined with mini-clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX) in the development of post competency for interns in the Department of Neurology.Methods:A total of 56 interns rotating at the Department of Neurology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from June 2023 to January 2024 were enrolled as the study subjects. They were randomly divided into a control group and an experiment group using the random number table method, with 28 interns in each group. The control group received traditional methods including small lectures and teaching rounds, while the experimental group received the PBL teaching method combined with Mini-CEX. The teaching effectiveness was evaluated through theoretical assessments, practical skill evaluations, teacher and student satisfaction surveys, and Mini-CEX scale assessments conducted at the beginning, middle, and end of the rotation for the experimental group. The data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 software. For continuous data, the independent-samples t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. The chi-square test was used for categorical data and the Kruskal-Wallis H test for repeated-measurement data. Results:The theoretical scores [(45.36±2.67) vs. (42.00±4.29), P<0.01] and practical skill scores [(45.11±2.53) vs. (42.39±4.53), P<0.01] were significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group. The Mini-CEX score of the experimental group at the end of the rotation was notably higher than that at the beginning of rotation ( P<0.05), and their abilities improved continuously. The satisfaction rates of teachers and students in the experimental group were 71.43% (20/28) and 67.86% (19/28), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [39.29% (11/28) and 35.71% (10/28), P<0.05]. Conclusions:The teaching model integrating PBL and Mini-CEX can effectively enhance the post competency of interns in the Department of Neurology, thus offering a new perspective for clinical undergraduate teaching.

Objective:To explore the effect of simulated gas of thermobaric bomb charge explosion on cognitive function and the related mechanism of damage.Methods:In January 2022, thirty-two SPF rats were selected and randomly divided into control group, exposed group 1, 2 and 3 (the exposure time of the simulated gas of the explosion of the thermobaric bomb charge was 5 min, 10 min and 15 min, respectively) according to random number table method, with 8 rats in each group. The simulated gas of the explosion of the thermobaric bomb charge were CO 0.15%, CO 2 3%, NO 0.1%, O 2 15%, and the rest were N 2. After 30 days of exposure, water maze was used to detect the learning and memory function of rats. Golgi staining was used to observe the number distribution and morphological structure of hippocampal neurons in rats. Western blot was used to detect the expression of Tau-5, pSer262, pSer396, pThr181 and pThr231 proteins in rats. Repeated measure ANOVA was used to compare the design data of repeated measure, one-way ANOVA was used for multi-group mean comparison, and LSD method was used for pound-wise comparison. Results:There were significant differences in the results of repeated measurement ANOVA of the water maze localization navigation test ( F=80.98, P<0.001), and there was an interaction between the group and the training days ( F=2.16, P=0.022). There were significant differences in escape latency of rats at the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days among all groups ( P<0.05). The results of spatial exploration showed that the frequency of rats crossing the platform was significantly different among all groups ( F=4.49, P=0.011). The frequency of rats crossing the platform in exposed group 2 and exposed group 3 was lower than that in control group, and the frequency of rats crossing the platform in exposed group 3 was lower than that in exposed group 1 ( P<0.05). With the increase of exposure time, the number of hippocampal neurons decreased, and the dendrite spine density of neurons in CA1 region decreased ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, there was no significant difference in the relative expression level of Tau-5 protein in all exposed groups ( P>0.05), but the expression level of pSer262 protein was significantly increased ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the protein expressions of pSer396, pThr181 and pThr231 in exposed group 2 and exposed group 3 were significantly increased ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The simulated gas of the explosion of the thermobaric bomb charge may contribute to the development of cognitive dysfunction by damaging hippocampal neurons with aberrant phosphorylation of Tau proteins.
