Objective:To investigate the application effect of case-based learning (CBL) based on the clinical case library of stomatology in standardized residency training for comprehensive stomatology.Methods:A total of 52 residents in Department of Stomatology, Chongqing Medical University, were given CBL teaching based on the clinical case library of comprehensive stomatology, and a questionnaire survey was performed to evaluate the teaching effect. Theoretical and skill assessments were performed before and after CBL teaching, and a comparative analysis was performed. SPSS 19.0 software was used for the t-test. Results:The questionnaire survey showed that CBL teaching based on the clinical case library of stomatology effectively improved the ability of independent learning [92.31% (48/52)], the interest in learning [88.46% (46/52)], and the ability for case diagnosis and the accuracy of investigation and judgment [94.23% (49/52)]. This method helped with the mastery and understanding of the theoretical knowledge in stomatology [96.15% (50/52)] and improved the abilities for expression and communication [84.62% (44/52)] and the ability to find and solve problems [94.23% (49/52)]. It also helped to stimulate the interest in scientific research and teaching [82.69% (43/52)] and create an active classroom atmosphere [82.69% (43/52)]. Among these residents, 94.23% (49/52) liked CBL teaching, and 88.64% (46/52) thought the setting of the case library was reasonable. After the application of CBL teaching, there were significant increases in theoretical score [from (66.74±4.25) points to (81.44±7.16) points] and skill examination score [from (64.00±3.14) points to (81.96±7.50) points].Conclusions:CBL teaching based on the case library of stomatology has a good teaching effect in the standardized residency training for comprehensive stomatology and can not only improve the theoretical and skill assessments of residents, but also improve their learning interest and clinical thinking ability.

This paper summarized the experience of fire needling combined with black cloth ointment in the treatment of keloid. In terms of the pathogenesis of keloid, it is believed that "phlegm causes stasis, and then stasis accumulates into tumors" is the key; the internal obstruction of phlegm and stasis caused by insufficient endowment and invasion of external pathogens is the root of the disease, while the endogenous generation of phlegm and dampness is the branch. It is therefore proposed to explore the etiology and pathogenesis of keloid from the perspective of "phlegm-stasis-tumor", and the treatment principle is mainly to eliminate phlegm, dispel stasis and dissolve tumors, supplemented with heat-clearing and toxin-resolving. Treatment methods include oral administration of Chinese herbal medicinals and external treatment. Self-made formula for keloid is taken orally, with the main functions of dissolving phlegm, dispelling stasis and clearing heat, to finally dissolve the tumors. For external treatment, fire needling is used to pierce the skin and to open the striae and interstices, and force out the toxin pathogens such as phlegm-heat and stasis-heat with fire power, thereby clearing heat, dissolving phlegm, dispelling stasis and resolving toxins. Black cloth ointment can be used to the affected area to unblock meridians and collaterals, clear heat-toxin and dissolve phlegm-stasis, thereby softening hardness and dissipating masses.

Objective:To explore the effects of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)at different stimulating sessions on upper limb motor function and brain functional connectivity in stroke patients,targeting on stimu-late the contralateral premotor cortex(PMC). Method:Sixty patients with upper limb motor dysfunction after ischemic stroke were randomly assigned to 6-week rTMS group,4-week rTMS group,2-week rTMS group or control group,each with 15 participants.Up-per limb Brunnstrom stage,Fugl-Meyer assessment for upper extremity(FMA-UE)and Wolf motor function test(WMFT)were assessed before and after treatment to evaluate behavioral outcomes.The functional connec-tivity was analyzed by resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI)with the contralateral PMC as the seed point. Result:After treatment,the FMA-UE and WMFT scores of the 2-week rTMS group were significantly differ-ent from those of the 4-week and 6-week rTMS groups(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference be-tween the 4-week rTMS group and the 6-week rTMS group(P>0.05).Functional connectivity analysis using contralateral PMC as a seed point showed that functional connections were enhanced between contralateral PMC and ipsilateral anterior central gyrus,as well as the contralateral middle temporal gyrus and precuneus af-ter rTMS treatment(P<0.05). Conclusion:The 4-week rTMS group has the best duration-benefit compared with the 2-week rTMS group and the 6-week rTMS group.The probable mechanism was related to that rTMS treatment could reduce the ef-fect of interhemispheric inhibition on motor cortex,and then enhance the cortico-cortical functional connectivi-ty in the contralateral hemisphere effectively,resulting in the recovery of upper limb motor function.

Cyanobacteria are the only prokaryotes capable of oxygenic photosynthesis, which have potential to serve as "autotrophic cell factories". However, the synthesis of biofuels and chemicals using cyanobacteria as chassis are suffered from poor stress tolerance and low yield, resulting in low economic feasibility for industrial production. Thus, it's urgent to construct new cyanobacterial chassis by means of synthetic biology. In recent years, adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) has made great achievements in chassis engineering, including optimizing growth rate, increasing tolerance, enhancing substrate utilization and increasing product yield. ALE has also made some progress in improving the tolerance of cyanobacteria to high light intensity, heavy metal ions, high concentrations of salt and organic solvents. However, the engineering efficiency of ALE strategy in cyanobacteria is generally low, and the molecular mechanisms underpinning the tolerance to various stresses have not been fully elucidated. To this end, this review summarizes the ALE-associated technical strategies and their applications in cyanobacteria chassis engineering, following by discussing how to construct larger ALE mutation library, increase mutation frequency of strains and shorten evolution time. Moreover, exploration of the construction principles and strategies for constructing multi-stress tolerant cyanobacteria, and efficient analysis the mutant libraries of evolved strains as well as construction of strains with high yield and strong robustness are discussed, with the aim to facilitate the engineering of cyanobacteria chassis and the application of engineered cyanobacteria in the future.

The uPA-uPAR system is highly expressed in various tumor tissues. This system can promote the degradation of extracellular matrix proteins, as well as combine with vitronectin and integrin to transmit intracellular signal transduction. Subsequently, it mediates the occurrence and development of tumors. In recent years, a series of therapeutic programs that target this system has achieved notable results in tumor treatment, and some of them have been under the clinical trial stage, thus providing new ideas for tumor targeted therapy. Therefore, this paper intends to provide a review of research progress on the gene therapy, drug therapy, and immunotherapy targeting uPA-uPAR system.
