RESUMEN

Objective:To study the effect of the reform of pathology teaching mode.Methods:The Batch 2017 Class 1 and Class 3 students of clinical medicine who had pathology courses in the second semester of the 2019-2020 school year were selected in the controlled study, and they were divided into the study group (56 students from Class 1) and the control group (57 students from Class 3). For the pathology course, the control group used conventional teaching, and the study group used online-offline mixed teaching combined with problem-based learning (PBL). Both groups were taught for 1 semester. The theoretical assessment scores, practical assessment scores and excellent rate of the two groups after teaching were compared, the abilities of autonomous learning, problem solving, teamwork, and multidisciplinary thinking were compared between the two groups before and after teaching, and the satisfaction with the teaching mode was compared between the two groups. SPSS 23.0 software was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:The theoretical assessment scores [(93.86±5.42) vs. (86.74±5.33)] and practical assessment scores [(92.91±5.37) vs. (84.86±5.26)] of the study group were significantly higher than those of the control group ( P<0.05); the differences in grades distribution were statistically significant, and the excellent and good rate of the study group was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). The scores of autonomous learning, problem solving, teamwork and multidisciplinary thinking in the two groups were higher than those before the teaching, and the scores of the study group were higher than those of the control group ( P<0.05); after the teaching, the study group had higher satisfaction scores than the control group in enhancing clinical thinking ability, deepening the perception of life value and other aspects ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The combination of online and offline teaching combined with PBL can not only improve the assessment performance and excellent rate of medical students majoring in clinical medicine, but also enhance the ability of medical students to study independently, solve problems, teamwork and multidisciplinary thinking, and improve their satisfaction with the teaching mode.

RESUMEN

MicroRNAs are a class of small noncoding RNAs that function as critical gene regulators through targeting mRNAs for translational repression or degradation. In this study, we showed that the miR-133b expression level was decreased while the Sirt1 mRNA expression level was increased in osteosarcoma tissue and cell lines. A low expression of miR-133b was significantly associated with tumor size, distant metastasis, and advanced clinical stage. In addition, osteosarcoma patients with a low miR-133b expression showed a worse prognosis when compared to those with a high level of miR-133b expression. Thus, we identified Sirt1 as a novel direct target of miR-133b. Overexpression of miR-133b suppressed Sirt1 expression and attenuated cell proliferation and invasion. Forced expression of Sirt1 could partly rescue the inhibitory effect of miR-133b in osteosarcoma cells. Our finding also suggested that the inhibitory effects of the miR-133b/Sirt1 axis on osteosarcoma progression were involved in the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway. Taken together, these findings will shed light on the role and mechanism of miR-133b in regulating osteosarcoma cell growth via the miR-133b/Sirt1 axis, and miR-133b may serve as a potential therapeutic target in osteosarcoma in the future.

RESUMEN

[Adstract] Micro-lecture, as the main teaching form of MOOC and SPOC network teaching platform, is deeply welcomed by the majority of students. Pathology is the bridge connecting basic medicine and clin-ical medicine in medical education, which has such characteristics as many knowledge points, dispersion and obscurity, etc. Therefore, the production of micro courses is based on the knowledge points, and according to the characteristics of the knowledge points, it should also be applied reasonably according to the charac-teristics of each chapter. Adopting the teaching of self-study after class and teachers and students' discussion in class for micro courses can not only greatly improve the quality of teaching, but also develop the students' ability of independent thinking and the ability to analyze and solve problems, which transforms the teaching of pathology from pure knowledge to ability.

RESUMEN

Objective To write the school-based teaching material of pathology,and apply it to the students in higher vocational colleges to evaluate the application effect.Methods Two classes of clinical medical students of Grade 201 1were divided into two groups:the experimental group(Class1,58 students) and the control group(Class2,60 students).Both of the two groups take the integration of theory and practice teaching method.The traditional teaching material was applied in the control group while the school-based teaching materials were adopted in the experimental group.Statistical analysis software SPSS 13.0 and two samples t test were used to compare the preparing effect before the class,case study effect and the final examination of the two groups.After the end of the course,students' teaching satisfaction questionnaire was conducted,and the results of the survey for the rank sum test were analyzed.Results The scores of preparing effect before class were higher in experimental group(84.4 ±6.2) than those in the control group(78.2 ±5.8),t=5.61,P=0.001; the case study effect in experimental group(78.6 ± 6.6) was higher than that of the control group(72.8 ± 5.3),t=5.27,P=0.002; there was no significant differences in the final examination between the two class [experimental group (83.5 ± 6.8),control group (81.6 ± 6.9)],t=1.51,P=0.183.The questionnaire shows,in the aspect of the difficulty of teaching material,the degree of satisfaction in the experimental group(satisfied:28,general:30,unsatisfied:0) was higher than the control group(satisfied:18,general:37,unsatisfied:5),Z=-2.43,P=0.015; in the aspect of reading interest,the degree of satisfaction in the experimental group(satisfied:32,general:25,unsatisfied:1) was higher than the control group(satisfied:22,general:35,unsatisfied:3),Z=-2.09,P=0.036; in the aspect of emphasizing on the key point,the degree of satisfaction in the experimental group(satisfied:20,general:38,unsatisfied:0) was higher than the control group(satisfied:12,general:39,unsatisfied:9),Z=-2.72,P=0.007; in the aspect of self-study effect,the degree of satisfaction in the experimental group(satisfied:20,general:38,unsatisfied:0) was higher than the control group(satisfied:16,general:39,unsatisfied:5),Z=-3.13,P=0.002; but there was no significant differences in classroomlearning effect(experimental group:satisfied,38,general,20,unsatisfied,0; control group:satisfied,36,general,23,unsatisfied,1),Z=-0.68,P=0.497.Conclusions The school-based teaching material can contribute to the students' self-learning,enhancing the students' interest of learning and knowledge-application ability.
