ABSTRACT
Human microbiome is comprised of symbiotic microorganisms in the human body, whose dynamic balance is closely related to human health, and is recognized as important "organs" that can regulate immunity, metabolism and other aspects in human body, and is associated with functions of many organs including lung, intestine, vagina and brain, becoming a potential target for the treatment of cancer, coronary heart disease, neurological diseases and other difficult diseases. In recent years, with the rapid development of microbiome sequencing and analysis technology, it has become an international focus and forefront to discover the relationship between human microorganisms and many diseases, as well as target for new treatment methods. Thus, we organized this special issue and publish reviews on study methodology, human disease and microbiome as well as therapeutic strategies, and provide important information to advance microbiome research in China.

Objective@#The aim of this study was to evaluate the value for CBL and LBL teaching method in the training of refresher doctors in reproductive medicine.@*Methods@#A questionnaire survey was conducted among 186 refresher doctors who had studied in the reproductive medicine center at Peking University Third Hospital from January 2016 and December 2017 one year after their graduation. We tested 33 refresher doctors in observe group and 33 refresher doctors in the CBL+LBL group who graduated at the same period.@*Results@#Ninety-two refresher doctors responded to the investigation. The questionnaire survey showed that 84.78% of the refresher doctors thought that CBL and LBL teaching method could improve their learning abilities, clinical problem analysis and solving skills, and surgical techniques, which was conducive to promoting their assisted reproductive technology. Besides, 63.04% of refresher doctors believed this method improved their research abilities. In CBL+LBL group, examination scores of theoretical knowledge were significantly higher than the observe group (P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The combination of CBL and LBL is effective and feasible in the training of refresher doctors in reproductive medicine.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the prevalence of psychological distress and analyze the relevant factors among patients with bladder tumor so as to provide evidence for future clinical practice. Methods Totally 128 patients were recruited from a urological surgery ward of a comprehensive hospital in Beijing in the study by using self-design questionnaire and the psychological distress thermometer (DT) recommended by the U.S. national comprehensive cancer network (NCCN). The acquired data were analyzed by SPSS17.0. Results The average score of the patients was 4.00(1.00~5.00). The identification rate of psychological stress was 55.47%( 71/128 ) , higher than the Chinese normal ( U = 8 . 28 , P < 0 . 05 ) . The relevant factors of psychological stress based on the rank from high to low scores included emotion problems ( 1 . 63 ± 0 . 67 ) , practical problems ( 1 . 42 ± 0 . 64 ) , communication problems (1.29 ± 0.65), physical problems (1.28 ± 0.33) and religion problems (1.00 ± 0.08). Conclusions The prevalence of psychological distress is higher among patients with bladder tumor and the influence factors mainly include emotional problems , practical problems and communication problems. Nurses should pay attention to the psychological distress of patients with bladder tumors and develop targeted interventions so as to relieve their distress.
