Questionnaire survey and analysis of the learning status of medical students in some colleges and universities in China / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Objective To investigate the current learning status of medical students and related influencing factors, and to improve the quality of medical education. Methods The method of formative assessment and summative assessment was used. Questionnaire survey and data collection were performed among 11760 students from 11 medical colleges and universities in China to analyze their learning motivations, learning attitudes, academic record, and expectations. An analysis of variance and the t-test were used for comparison of general demographic factors. Results The overall score of learning motivations was (1.95±0.57) points (with a full score of 3 points), while there were significant differences between the colleges and universities in different regions , the colleges/universities at different levels , and different specialties (F=49.694, 12.354, and 8.094, P<0.01). The overall score of self-appraised learning attitudes was (2.68±0.78) points (with a full score of 4 points), and there were significant differences between the medical students from different regions, different types of colleges/universities, and colleges at different levels, between the medical students with different sexes, specialties, and grades, and between the military and non-military medical students (F/t=49.476, 19.241, 57.275, 11.513, 4.660, 30.177, and 42.788, P<0.01). The score of expectations for academic record was (2.14±0.95) points (with a full score of 4 points), and there were significant differences between different groups of medical students (F/t=458.503, 149.679, 553.090, 409.184, 29.584, 199.268, and 821.113, P<0.01). The score of overall academic record was (2.43±0.79) points (with a full score of 4 points), and there were significant differences between different groups of medical students (F/t=44.938, 20.305, 47.850, 45.174, 3.769, 20.819, and 81.909, P<0.01). There were significant differences in academic record between the medical students with different learning motivations , expectations , and self-appraised learning attitudes ( F/t=78 . 845 , 1146.000, and 715.012, P<0.01). Conclusion Medical students in China generally have good learning status, which is greatly influenced by general demographic factors. The academic score of medical students in China is positively correlated with learning expectations and attitudes , and learning motivations have a special effect on academic record.

The promotive of formative evaluation on the building of medical students' capacity / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Formative evaluation is a medical education evaluation form used to correct its own track in the course of activities so as to get better effect. In the medical education, it can significantly improve the medical students' ability such as active learning ability, relearning ability, ability to master and apply know l edge, ability of scientific thinking and debating, ability of innovation and analysis, ability of association and communication, and so on.

Relationship between Expression of p75 Gene and Apoptosis of Cerebrum Cells in Type 2 Diabetic Rats / 中国康复理论与实践

@#Objective To study the relationship between expression of p75 gene and apoptosis of cerebrum cells in type 2 diabetic rats.Methods Ten type 2 diabetic rats and ten natural rats were used to test the expression of brain p75 mRNA by RT-PCR technique, and the apoptosis of cerebrum cells was measured by agarose gel electrophoresis (AGA).Results The expression of brain p75 mRNA and apoptosis of cerebrum cells in type 2 diabetic rats were higher than that of the natural group.Conclusion The apoptosis of cerebrum cells in type 2 diabetic rats increases, and it is positively correlated with the expression of brain p75 gene mRNA.
