ABSTRACT
Objective In order to further improve China 's neurology residency training system , we investigated the differences of standardized residency training system between China and the United States .Methods The differences of the training goal ,plan,program operation and performance evaluation between China and the United States'residency training program were analyzed .Results The neurology residency training system in the United States has been well established and standardized .Standardized residency training in China has been implemented and systematized in recent years .Although tremendous improvement has been made to China 's postgraduate educa-tion, many aspects of the training system still need to be optimized .Conclusions In line with experiences of USA and suitable for China 's national conditions , reform of neurology residency training system will further improve the medical care of neurology in China .
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the association between cytotoxin-associated gene A of Helicobacter pylori (Hp-CagA) and the expressions of mtp53 and c-myc protein in different subtypes of intestinal metaplasia.Methods One hundred and sixty-five patients with gastroscopy included 125 cases with chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia,40 cases with non-atrophic gastritis.Intestinal metaplasia included complete intestinal metaplasia,incompletetype intestinal metaplasia,complete colonic epithelial metaplasia and incomplete colonic epithelial metaplasia.The carbon-14-urea breath test was used to determine Helicobacter pylori (Hp);AB-PAS and HID-AB mucinous staining was used to distinguish intestinal metaplasia subtypes; the immunohistochemical Elivision method was used to determine the expressions ofmtp53 and c-myc protein;indirect ELISA was used to determine Hp-CagA.Results Forty-five cases with incomplete colonic epithelial metaplasia,47 cases with incomplete type intestinal metaplasta,17 cases with complete colonic epithelial metaplasia,16 cases with complete intestinal metaplasia.The positive rate of Hp-CagA in all intestinal metaplasia subtypes was higher than that in non-atrophic gastritis,but there was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The expression of mtp53 protein in incomplete colonic type of intestinal metaplasia with Hp-CagA positive was higher than that in incomplete colonic type of intestinal metaplasia with Hp-CagA negative (x2 =5.494,P ＜ 0.05).The expression of c-myc protein in incomplete colonic type of intestinal metaplasia with Hp-CagA positive was higher than that in incomplete colonic type of intestinal metaplasia with Hp-CagA negative (x2 =13.950,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Hp-CagA is a sort of highly virulent strain,and Hp-CagA may do a strong role in the promotion of gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia.
